Scared the Burglar.

Rev. C. f. Cannon, formerly of this
place, was aroused by a burglar i'll his
South Cumberland residence one night
this week. He walked downstairs to see
what was going on. The burglar, hear
ing his approach, galloped out to see
what was not transporting. Mr.. Cannon
got glimpse of him, however, but too
late to quote the seventh commandment.
He returned to his room, saw his man
hiding behind tree-boX Il short dis
lance away, and contemplated him some
time. At length Mr.. Cannon picked up
a bicycle pump and pointed it gun fash
ion toward the tree-boX. The burglar
caught the CLINT of nickel plate and, pre-
ferring liberty to death, sped away to-
ward sunrise with Goth century speed.
Mr.. Cannon has since bought the real
thing in the way of a gun, but he is

Man is an electrical battery, but the

ize the forces he is generating so as to
benefit both himself and fellow-men.
But if the reader will carefully and
faithfully follow and repeat this process
| will guarantee its success i'll removing
the above-named protuberances
First, you must bring the electro
magnetic force, which is distributed all
over your body, to your hand and finger
tips. In order to do this You must rub
your hands carefully together until they
are warm and moist; then, with the tips
of your two first fingers, rub the wart or
wen until it is warm.
For goitre-use your whole hand.
One rubbing will be sufficient in many
cases to remove warts and wens. If not,
repeat the process i'll two or three days.
Goitre will take much longer, and the
treatment should be given every other
day. Persevering, you will notice at
each subsequent application that the
eXcrescence grows smaller.
But great deal will depend upon the
amount of magnetic force generated.

To the MINING Journal.
Seeing a statement in your paper OF
the 9th inst, said to he announced by
our Mayor that the material is on Maple
street, and that II party was present to
build the fence, but | objected and told
him unless some dumpings were re-
moved | would make trouble, | offer the
following:
As You remark, the trouble is some
what aged.
Now. shall he pleased to make few
truthful statements and challenge con-
tradictiOn.
When, or previous to the retirement of
our last Mayor and some of our Coun-
cilnen, they We're instructed by their At
tOrney to clear the property OF rubbish
and build the fence, the matter not con-
Guided was transferred to the present
Mayor and Council. Shortly after the
present Mayor was installed he and |
talked over the matter and examined the
place. There We're several wagOnloads
of dumpings that We're lying partly on
the line of the fence, partly on the street
and above the regular grade. l called
the Mayors attention to this and told
MN ulu llOI WISH Any llOIc vi tndt 'ilTi
on nv property, and that in building the
fence l would prefer Mr.. Wilson to do
so, as he had the material and would
furnish chestnut palings and ratings at
the cost of other stuff. | understood
that some of the parties made inquiry at
Mr.. Willison's lumber yard, but there
was none of the material on hand, but it
could have been got on one or two days
notice.
Consulting neither Mr.. Wilson nor
myself our Mayor sent team to some
saw-mill or friend, and got a lot of
locust slabs to answer for posts. To
these, of course. objected, as | want no
shoddy in material nor workmanship,
but good, substantial, rough fence.
There is also some other contention.
NV deed calls for the beginning of that
property at the southeast corner of
Maple street. Now, | am willing to
