ELECTRIC BITTERS.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for
any season, but perhaps more generally
needed when the languid, exhausted feel
ing prevails, when the liver is torpid and
sluggish and the need of a tonic and alter
alive is felt. A prompt use Of this medi-
cine has often averted long and perhaps
fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will
act more surely in counteracting and
freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, INDIGESTION, Constipa-
ton, Dizziness yield to Electric Bitters.

TAwAs CITY, Mich, Jan. 17.-Ten years

sum of money. In fighting for their prop.

mans ghost suddenly appears. A stran-

never heard of the tragedy was driving
past tho house at the exact hour in
which, ten years before, the young man
was killed. His horse began to exhibit
signs of fright 1t finally became un-
manageable and dashed off at furious
speed down the road. The driver, looking
back, could distinctly see the figure Of a
man, who gave dull, phosphorent light,
dragging a trunk up the steps. The
stranger stopped at the first house until
morning, when an expedition set of to
Investigate.
1t was found that the boards which had
been nailed over the windows for years
had been removed during the night, and
the doors were swinging wide out, yet not
a single track could DO found in the snow

providing around. Several farmers who
passed along the road just at dark the

were nailed over the windows and doors,
the same as for years. The whole affair
