Gets ale1acy.

The many friends of Jas. T. Watson,
now of Scranton, Pa, will be pleased
to learn that he has secured through
his attorney, R. w. Crowder, hand
some legacy from the estate of his de
ceased grandfather, Jas. T. Watson,
ST., of Belair, Md. The history of the
case has a tinge of romance that is
not without interest. Mr.. Watson,
Sr., made will two years before his
death in favor of Jas. T. Jr., who was
then two years of age. On his death
bed he revoked this will and left his
entire estate 3O,OOO to another son.
Jas T. Watson became of age some
months ago. His attorney. r. W.
Crowder, who has been zealously guard
ing his interest and earnestly at work
on the case for the past six months,
notified the defendants that he would
bring suit at once, alleging undue
influence. After considerable negotia-
tions the defendants offered com.
promise, which, with some alteration,
gave Mr.. Watson practically what he
asked for; a handsome sum amounting
to several thousand dollars. We con.
gratulate the attorney and the bene
ficiary upon their success.-Waynes

What does it profit woman if she
gain the whole world of knowledge and
lose her own health ? Young women
students, and school teachers, eager,
ambitious, and full Of energy. very Of
ten neglect their health in the struggle
to gain education. They eat insuffici-
ent food, and at irregular hours, they
allow irregularity OF the womanly
functions to be established, and the re-
suit is that they become chronic in
valids with all their education practi-
cally worthless. There is a plain road
back to health for such as these, mark
ed by the feet of thousands. 1t is the
use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery for disease of the stomach
and digestive and nutritive organs,
and DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
for disease of the delicate organs of
womanhood. A cure so certainly fol-
lows the use of these remedies that
out of hundreds of thousands who have
tried the treatment, ninety eight of ev-
cry hundred have been perfectly and
permanently cured. Constipation,
with its calamitous consequences,
which is common ailment of students,
can be entirely cured by the use of
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.

Other Live Happenings.

Until after the middle of October, 81
numerous astronomical causes exist
which indicate many storm and wealth
er perturbations.- The Mars period il
central on. the 26th, extending in it,
disturbing influences from October LIST
to the last of November From about
the End to 4th look for a warm wave
to pass eastwardly over the country
with fuctuating, falling barometer
ending progressively IN storms of rain,
wind and thunder. with early snow tc
west and north very probable, and
high northwesterly gales bringing up
the rear and causing very sharp and
sudden change to colder. Dangerous
storms on the lakes and north Atlantic
should be anticipated at this and 9th
er October periods. The Mercury pc.
riod being central on the 4th, with
Venus, Earth and Mars com bining, al
interests likely to be damaged by vic
lent, autumnal storms and changes
should be well guarded Heavy sleet
is probable during the first two storm
periods of the month in central and
northern sections.
The second regular storm period fol
October is from 9Th to r. A decided
change to warmer will set in on the
Is, Moon being on celestial equator
and at perigee on that day. A sharp
cold wave with frost and freezing will
bring up the rear of these distur Dances,
change to colder, with probable sleet
and snow beginning early in the peri.
cd westward, following up closely as
storm centers pass eastward.
About the Goth to 23rd a change to
warmer, with general return to storm
conditions, will pass from west to east
over the country.
A reactionary disturbance is central,
with Moon at last quarter and apogee
on the Goth to 9th. This will bring
higher temperature, falling barometer
and more rain and snow. These dis
turbances will likely be protracted un.
til Moon passes south of the celestial
equator on the Goth, on and about
which date, thunder storms will occur,
ending suddenly in sweeping winds
from north west, high barometer and
cold wave.

For Using His Brains.

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Co.
a few days ago sent brakeman, as a
gift, check for $50 "for using his
brains, as one of the officials express
ed it. "A freight train while coming
down the grade between Cranberry
Summit and Rowlesburg stopped very
suddenly, making horrible racket.
The brakeman. who was on the front
of the train, knew something was wrong
and realizing that west bound Chicago
express No. Z was about to pass, with
out investigating the trouble, he rushed
ahead and tagged No. 7. Had he
rushed back to investigate it would
have been too late and No. would
have dashed into four or five derailed
cars and tumbled over into the river.
For his good judgment the company
made him the present of $50, and have
posted bulletin so that those "who
run may read"

Death of Young Butcher.

Edwin Butcher, aged 90 years,
son of Mr.. VIM. Butcher, died last
Wednesday at the home of his
father in this parish. Young
Butchers death was unexpected.
He had always enjoyed exception
ally good tealth and robust con-
stitution and it was not believed that
his illness would have ended so
seriously. Those who knew the
deceased speak of him as having
been an industrious, honest and
manly young fellow, possessing in
a marked degree those virtues and
traits of character which constitute
the good citizen. Although quite
young he had impressed his &C
quaintances with the fact that in
him were combined those qualities
which shone in all the acts of his
lie. He was an obedient son, a
true friend and in all lis dealings an
honest man. His funeral took place
Thursday evening and was largely
attended.

Death of Miss Dewey.

Patriotic PEOPLE everywhere will
be panied to hear of the death Of
Miss Dewey. She breathcd her
last last Tuesday after a short ill
ness. Soldiers who love their
country Will be particularly sorry
to hear of her death. She was the
soldiers friend, proving her devo
ton to them by joining a volunteer
regiment at the outbreak of the
last war and serving throughout
that bloody conflict without ono G
planning. During the preva
lence of TYPHOID fever in Flasler's
deseasc infested camps she shared
the vexalinns and worry incident
A strong constitution, which she
had inherited from her ancestors,
served her well and successfully
resisted the attacks of the different
fatal TO many or the brave boys
around her. All that must have
soreiy tried the delicate fibres of
her feminine heart, but true TO her
sex and race she displayed an al
most stole Indifference TO misfor-
tune and remained with the gallant
BOYS until the final mastering out
took place. When the regiment
was ordered to Havana she followed
the flag there and though the road
was at time mountainous and buShy
she never faltered once, and 1t is
said that when the rations were
short she subsisted upon roots,
briars, and even embaimed beef
when nothing else could be had.
This seems incredible, but only
shows the extent that a patriotic
soul will go when engaged in a
cause she considers sacred. Every
thing shows that Miss Dewey was
especially blessed with a noble ma
ture and most remarkable consti
tuition Reinforced by splendid
stomach besides being one Of the
most amiable and doclle goats that
ever lived. We learn from the
Picayune that her death has been
greatly deplored by the boy,
of the Second Louisiana Eegi-
ment who had an opportunity to
qualities.
