Concord, N. Dec. 30. The 3.30 train down, on the Montreal road, ran into an up train which was awaiting its arrival. The upright rod of a switch broke, being full of frost, when the engine struck the rail and threw the train on the track where the otner train was standing.

The baggage car struck the engine, which demolished it badly. The baggage car and the two cars following were somewhat smashed, but the Miller platforms saved the other train. No one was seriously hurt, though the escapa from a general smash-up was 'wonderful. THE ART OF WELL! EV DR. J.

P. BBTA.HT, MAGNETIC I'HVSICIAX. The great point is not merely keeping ciff the sick list and outof the hospital. Hundreds of people a about their business every day and eat their three meals, and call themselves well, who yet ire a remove of forty decrees from that elasticity, energy and vigor which perfect health carries and implies. They are three-quarters ill without knowing it.

They are continually depressed and burdened with that negative illness, which takes nil the Id om out of their cheeks, and all the spring out of and all the buoyancy out of their hcart-s, and all the ring out of their voices. They seldom or ver their highest working point of power. Life with them is a stream at low water three-quarters of the time, and never up to high tide-mark, never accomplishing more than two-thirds as much as it might were it full. It would surpriso many, if not most men to feel in themselves the actual difference between not sick and perfectly well. The first step in the economy of life is to bring the whole system up to the highest working point of vigor.

The thing of chief interest to every business man, in particular, is so to manage himself that he can accomplish the most work of the best kind in the shortest time, and with the greatest possible ease. Really, in nine cases out of ten, the question poverty and wealth, success and failure, depei; upon a man's ability to do and endure.

Dear Sue: The horses is all got the cpigramic very badly. boys had so much fun the other day Littfe Frank's hobby-horse had glue runnin' out of his nose, so we knew he had it, and we took him into the bath-room and got some of ma's fine towels and wrapped his legs up in hot water, and burned sulphur matches under his throat, and swinged his mane off, and the paint came off his legs, and the glue all come unstuck, and Frank can't ride him any more. Wasn't it jolly Then the matches put us in mind of bavin' a Boston fire, so we coaxed sister Sadie to give us her box of Swiss houses you brought her from I 'rip; and we set 'em up and touched 'em off, and let her rip The town went like blazes, and we th rowed some of sis's dolls in for dead bodies, and then saved the arms and legs for trofys. But you bet we got scared when the Humes went so high, so we turned on the hose, and that fool Jim Blain let the water run all over the floor and down the kitchen on "the cook's head, and she thought the pipes had busted, and run for a man to fix 'cm, so ma caught ns in there, and the boys run home, but I got a trashing. Our Frank is in pants.

He went in last Sunday. I've got a new girl, I don't like Jennie Bird any more, or I guess she don't like me any more, cause when I gave her a handful of peanuts she throwed 'em in my face, and I expect Jim Blain told lies about me. I'd lick him, only his father keeps a candy store, and I get all the candy 1 want for nothin'. Your affectionate brother, Ciiarlks. P.

He comes out of the fire right side up with care, as he has from all previous disasters, and iu response to his agent's telegram informing him of the fire, he sends the following dispatch from New Orleans Tell editors I have cabled European agents to expond half a million dollars for extra attractions; will have a new and more attractive traveling show than ever in April. P. T. Barm There is something admirable in such audacious rebellion against "slings and arrows but his loss is by no means trivial. He had four giraffes which no money could have purchased, but the fire took them, and with them went the Bengal tigers, two sea lions, two polar bears, an arctic seal, nine camels, an elephant, an eland, a lion and lioness, besides a large number ot more common and less expensive animals the hole forming the best collection of the sort in the country.

All people would undoubtedly prefer a line head of luiir irrown upon their own heads, to being bald, or wearing false hair, and it has been the study of many of our learned men to find a remedy to restore the hair when it has fallen out, and renew Its color after it has become grav. Such a remedy has been found and is now offered the world under the name of Hall's Vegetable Sicilian HairRenewer; and, to verify this statement, read the following: This is to certify that I was very bald in fact, my head was perfectly smooth and it is common in my family to grow bald early in life. 1 have now used four bottles of Hall's Vegetable Sicilian Hair Re-newer and the hair has grown out all over my head, and is now a natural brown.

And this is just what Dr. Bryant's trcatuien. really means. It is of immense value as a restorative agent. In some diseases it is tho only effectual remedy and in most diseases it is an all-important aid to recovery.

It is never medicine that curcj. Tho battle is always betweon disease and tho in stitution, and the strongest carries tho day. Every little reinforcement of native strength, every parti-clo of vitality added to the blood, every additional inch of pure air inhaled by the lungs, every increase of nutrition.every development of the latent energies of tho organization, in any way, gives the advantage. to life in tho struglo with its constant enemy. Consumption may bo incurablo, but irresolutely resist ed in time by a quick reinforcement of tho system.

through this mode of treatment, together with the habit of deep breathing and wise self care, it may be held in check for years, and kept so far away on tho frontiers as never seriously to threaten the citadol of life itself. Roally ten times more disease comes from tho liver than from tho lungs and when disease lays its paralyzing fingers on that organ and deranges its complicated fuctions, no medicines on earth will so'quickly unloosen their grip'and set this great organ free asi igoroun and proper matjnetir. treatmtnt, in which Dr. Bryant acknowledges no suporior. Half the medicines taken relievo one point of danger by weakening another they pay one debt by borrowing elsewhere at ruinous per they make ono part better by making another part worse or reducing tho vital force of tho whole system.

Dr. Bryant's mode of treatment cures the special derangement by invigorating the whole sys tem, so that every organ is strengthened and movement is accelerated it pays a particular debt by developing now resources, and so increasing the capital stock of strength from which to draw; it makes ono point better by adding to tho health and vigor of the whole body. So as a remedial agont this method of treatment must take precedence over medicino, and within a dozen years has been resorted to by patient, and more carefully studied and largely applied as a method of euro than ever before. Tho best restorative is also tho best preventive. To koep well is the great desideratum.

Better pay tho doctor twice ovor for keoping you well, than to have his services for nothing when sick. But even the avoidance of sickness is a small thing iu comparison with that vigorous, abounding, exuberant vitality perfect health brings. Tho highest working point how to reach tlmt.and keep one's self up to that pitch, is the greatest practical problem, which once fairly and wisoly settled, will resolve a score minor questions and dispense with doctors and drugs altogether. Ono hall'of our bail drinking comes from a weakness which my mode of treatment will remove. Men resort to tho bottle, when thev should invigorate tho blood they drink rum and tako drugs to meet nature'? demand for rest.

Dr. Bryant's method oT treatment is Koculiar to himself. It calls every joint, sinew and ber into play. It gathers up and redistributes tho blood through the voinous system until its quickened circulation is felt to the linger tips. Jt loaves tho system in a refreshed and heightened condition, it tends to accumulate strength and steadily builds up tho body in new vigor and elasticity.

It increases working capital, and tho ability to endure the strains incident to tho exposures and vicissitudes of business and professonal life. It is tho most convenient, concentrated, complete and perfectly satisfactory method of cure yet discovered or devised, and we are happy to commend it to business and professional men, women, and children, as admirably adapted and calculated to prevent those lapses and derangements of the system to which we are so liable and from which wo sutler so much. Those who desire to live the most, while they live, and do their utmost in the easiest way, and for tha longest time, will consult Dr. Bryant at once. Very respectfully, J.
