Surnpter Hospital.

The proceeds from the charity ball to be
given In Ellis Opera house Friday even.
Ing, which was originally intended to be
for the benefit Of the Episcopal church,
will be devoted to the very worthy object
OF establishing hospital In Sumpter.
This change Of plan has been brought
about by the request Of several gentlemen
who employ large numbers Of men and,
recognizing the great need Of such an in.
stitution here, offer to make liberal dona.
tons for this purpose.
General Warren, Of the Sumpter Town.
site syndicate, will donate a choice site;
c. }. Johns gives fifty dollars cash; sew.
eral other parties lesser amounts, and a
number Of mining men have agreed to
furnish and maintain rooms In the hos.
pital. W. l.. Vinson has promised to
give "any reasonable amount Of money!"
not naming the sum. Every one who
knows the man will gamble on the prop.
osition that he will do the handsome
thing In this instance, as he always does.
Is the intention Of the ladies' In
charge to have the building erected and
the hospital open for the reception Of pa.
tlents with no unnecessary delay. It Is
stated that the Episcopal church Of Port.
land will interest itself in the cause and
assist In the maintenance Of the institu.
ton, II such assistance shall be needed.
Tickets to the ball have been reduced In
price from $500 to $3.50, and It Is hoped
that no one In Sumpter will overlook this
golden opportunity to help most worthy
object, and one very much needed, withali,
and at the same time get their moneys
worth by spending most delightful
evening. The ladies' who are In charge
OF the entertainment are sparing no ef.
tort to make It the leading social feature
OF the season, and Of their success there
Is not the shadow Of doubt.

quested to meet In the rooms Of Mrs.
General Warren, in the Austin building,
tor the purpose of organizing a hospital

It is just as easy to tell the age of an oyster by looking at it's she'll as it is to ascertain the age of horse by examin- ing its teeth. or a tree by inspecting the circles revealed by the ax or saw when it is laid low. When the oyster is 6 months old. it is as big as a dime; whom l year old. it will cover s silver half dollar, and when 3 years old, will be about the circumference of 8 silver dollar.
 The oyster. unlike the crab, is not obliged to seek new quarters CT build new hOnss every tir8e he grows, Sppre- oia5ly The extensions that be 1puts on bis house are clearly marked by a we'll defined ridge

There can be little doubt that one of the objects of yawning is the exercise of muscles which have been for a long time quiescent, and the acceleration of tbe blood and lymph flow which has in consequence of this quiescence become sluggish; hence its frequency after one has rer aimed for some time in the same position-fOr example, when waking in -sis-, -slaaFninG.
 Cooperating with this cause is sleepi- ness and the shallow breathing which it entails. This factor, as we'll as muscle quiescence, is apt to attend the sense of boredom which one experiences in listen ing to a dull sermon; hence it is that the bored individual is apt to yawn- As in the case of signing. the deep breath which accompanies the act of yawning compensates for the shallow breathing which is so apt to excite it.-New York Herald

Deafness Cannon be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There IS only one way to cure deafness, and tha: IS by constitu- tioual remedies. Deafness is caused by an inHamed condition of the mu- cous lining Of the Eustachian tube. When this tube gets inhamed, you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can betaken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catsrrh, which is nothing but an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dol love f~- suv o~sa of Deafness (~@u~ed by cstarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir culars, free.

 It is not to be wondered at that the most exaggerated stories con corning the small pox situation here get abroad. Our own citizens ID a large measure are responsible Tor them. During the last few days rumors have been current on the streets of no less than i've or six new cases, while inquiry of the health officer develops the fact that there is only one case in town. That one was among the first reported and is now fully recovered from the disease though still detained in quarantine. Another patient, who took the dis ease about the same time this one did, has fully recovered and was re- leased from quarantine on Thurs day.
