Iudre ". IL. Benson returned las1

Judge W. Il. Benson returned last
 evening from Reymert, where he went
 to hold an inquest on the body of
 man found dead in the mountains
 about nine miles east of that place.
 The remains were found to be those of Mexican about 60 years old, thinly clad, no blankets, and nothing about him by which he could be identified. The face was partly eaten away by wild animals. Owing 10 the cold which might have preserved the body, it was impossible to tell how long the man had been dead, and it was also im- impossible to arrive at any conclusion as to how he came to his death. w. R. Howes and B. B. Hungerford accompanied Judge Benson to the spot where the body was found, which was in a wild and inac- cessible part of the mountains, and assisted him in burying it. The country was so rough that they had to go over it on foot. The general sup position is that the man got lost and died from exposure.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires con stitutionai treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing it's work. The proprietors have so much faith in it's curative powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

A correspondent who asks what days are legal national holidays in the United States is informed that there are no such holidays. The following quotation from the World Almanac covers the answer to the question "There is no national holiday, not even the Fourth of July. Congress has at various times appointed special holi- days. In the second session of the Fifty-third Congress it passed an ect making Labor day public holiday in the District of Columbia, and 1t has recognized the existence of certain Holidays, for commercial purposes, but with the exception named, there is no general statute on the subject. The proclamation of the President designat- ing a day of thanksgiving only makes it legal holiday in those States which provide by law for it."

General Otis, Report of the EIuht.

Washington, Feb. 7.-The war de-
 parment today received the following dispatch from General Otis:
 Manila, Feb.7--Adjutant-General,
 Washington: The insurgent army is concentrated around Manila from the Luzon provinces, numbering 10000, and possessing several quick-aring and Krupp field guns. A good portion or the enemy is armed with Mausers of the latest pattern. Two Krupp guns and a great many rifles were captured. The insurgents fired great quantities of ammunition. Quite number of Span ish soldiers are in the insugent service who served on the artillery. The insurgents constructed strong en- trenehments near our lines, mostly in bamboo thickets. These our men charged, killing or capturing many of the enemy. Our casualties probably aggregate 250. Full reports today. Casualties of the insurgents very heavy. We have buried some B0U of their dead and hold 500 prisoners Their losses, killed, wounded and pris- oners, are probably 4.0O0. We took the waterworks and pumpiog station yes terday, six miles out. There was con siderable skirmishing with the enemy, which made no stand. The pumps are ds maged, but will be in working order in week. We have number of con- densers set up in the city, which will furnish good water. The troops are in excellent spirits. Quiet prevails.
