A. SNOW COl Orxxite Fateat Offlea, iraaUactoa, A. Ji WANTED Salesmen to sell Nursery Stock. All Goods War I Plr POSSIBLE 'AND IS T0 KNOWN ASA The Commonwealth Wants $100,000 from the Delaware and Hudson. A special dispatch from Harrisburg says: Tbe claim of the State against the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company alleged to be due, commencing in 1869 was called up before Judges Siraonton and McPherson yesterday whereupon Judge Simonton withdrew from the bench, stating that as he had been counsel for the company during a portion of the period covered by the claim he would decline to sit on the case, It was therefore heard by Judge McPherson alone.

The late Auditor-General Norris, shortly before he instituted proceedings for large amount against the Pennsylvania Company, the Erie Railway Company, Philadelphia and Reading Railway Com pany, the Lehigh Valley Railway Company and the Delaware and Hudson Canal Com pany. The claim against the- Delaware and Hudson Canal Company which was before the Court to-day, is for $972,000. General Benjamin H. Brewster, formerly a member of General Grant's Cabinet appeared with Mr. E.

O. Olmstead of this city, as counsel for the company, and the interests of the State were looked after by Messrs Sharpley and Ballard of Philadel phia as special counsel and Attorney-Gen eral Kirkpatrick. The attorneys for the Slate are endeavor ing to upset an adjustment of taxes made in 1870 or 1871 between Auditor General Hartranft and the company which was at that time represented by Samuel E. Dim- inick, afterwards Attorney-General of Pennsylvania and W. W.

Ketcham, who was subsequently a candidate for the Gubernatorial nomination against Hart ran ft. Insurance Commissioner Foster was called to the witness stand and testified that at tbe time he was corporation Clerk, and was satisfied that the adjustment made was a very favorable one for the Stale. Mr. Sharpley, for the Comraon-wealth, made an elaborate argument upon the law and the facts which he contended showed that the company had not paid the lawful tax upon the full amount of its capital in vested in canals, railroads ana coal mines in Pennsylvania. Mr.

Olmstead argued that this was a cor poration of the State of New York, and that the act of 1847 definitely fixed the amount of its capital stock, subject to tax ation in Pennsylvania. There had been a dispute upon this point in 1871, when Auditor-General Hartranft and Mr. Foster claimed a large amount of taxes. The omcers oi uie company at mat time were represented by Mr. Dimmick.

Afterwards the Attorney General had, in a spirit of fairness, agreed upon a compromise where by they paid a much larger amount than they believed to be due. In a similar case the Supreme Court of the State had subse quently sustained tbe company's position It could not now recover the money it had paid under the compromise, but since the Commonwealth is now claiming an ai ditional tax with interest for twenty years at twelve per cent. per. annum, the com pany was forced to assert its rights. The officers and counsel who represented the company at that time were all dead, and the ownership and management had entirely changed.

If any tax had been due twenty years ago it would be a great burden to ira pose the burden upon tbe present owners of the corporation. But, as it clearly appear ed that the State had already received more than the sum to which she was under her own Jaws entitled, mere could be no re covery in. the present suit General Brewster made a brief, concise and clean cut argument to show that the act of 1818, fixing the amount of stock taxable in Pennsylvania had not been re pealed by subsequent legislation to increase the company's taxattou, but denied that it had been exercised. The company had, however, under the spirit of compromise, paid into the State Treasury a large amount of money under the adjustment of 1871 which it now clearly appears it could not have been required to pay. That adjustment had been made by very distinguished State officers, whose reputation for integrity and ability had extended far beyond the limits of the State and there is no equity iu the present demand made upon the company.

Attorney-General Kiikpatrick followed. He endeavored to make a distinction between the case of the Delaware aud Hudson Canal Company and the Erie Company, which was relied upon by the defond-ints. In the Erie case, he said, the State had endeavored to enforce a tux upon the mileage basis, where as ia the present instance, as the company engaged in several kinds of business, the endeavor was to tax amount of capital thus invested. At the conclusion of the argument the Commonwealth's coun.sel submitted a statement reducing the claim of the State to something less than $200,000. Judge McPherson took tbe papers, but reserved his decision.

11. A special from Dallas, Texas, to the Post Dispatch says: "Jake Kilraia and his sparriug troupe exhibited at the Opera House last night. It was announced to be only a sparring and wrestling match. After some uneventful sparring by others, Tom James, of Dallas encountered Banz'ta, combination champion light weight for $25, conditioned that James should stay four rounds. Baozia had his way from the first.

In the fourth round Banzia struck James in the neck knocking him limp on the stage. James was unable to rise. He was 8pongedid restoratives applied. The show continued, no one supposing that James was seriously hurt. When the enter tainment had about concluded Muldooa announced hat Jame3 was unconscious aud called for a physician.

Banzia was searched for by omcers, but had fled. James died at 12:30 this morning. Kilrain cried like a child. The entire combination except Banzia are held for murder. It is supposed that James's neck was broken.

One doctor says it was paralysis of the heart. Banzia returned this morning and surrendered to the officers and the whole party appeared in court for ex animation. Brains and Push Always Tell.

43tf O. M. Spettigue, the Gives His Views on the Subject of Ballot Reform. The Baltimore Sun publishes an interview with ex-President Grover Cleveland Says the correspondent. "In discussing the question of ballot reform, I said to him that some of the Southern Democratic leaders at Washington were fearful that the adoption the Australian system would imperil the democratic supremacy, At this he was surprised, as he did not see why there should be any fear on that score.

'But, said he, 'I have never looked upon this question from that point of view. I have never debated in my own mind whether the removal of trickery from voters would injure or benefit the Democratic party. Ballot reform is right and that is why I think it should be He said Gov. Abbet, of New Jersey, and Governor Campbell, of Ohio, were two of the most astute politicians in the country, and no one could be more pronounced in favor of the principle than each of them. Referring to the late municipal election in Boston which had frequently been held up as a warning to democratic advocates of the Australian system, he said it was folly to ascribe rej publican victory to the effects of the new voting law.

The law had nothing to do with it, and do better proof could be asked of the value and justice of the measure than the fact that all leading Massachusetts Democrats were entirely satisfied with its operation. As to the argument thai the uneducated voter would be embarrassed and in many instances be deprived of his privileges Mr. Cleveland could not see that there was anything in it. Nothing could be easier than the adoption of some ign or device apparent for the most ignorant, in dicating the political complexion of the candidate to be voted for. Ho thought the best plan would be to have lists of all the candidates printed on one ticket, the signs to be adopted starting at the lop of each list aud indicating to which party the candi date belonged.

The voter could then by one mark indicate his intention to vote for all the candidates of his party. He did not approve of the proposition requiring the voter to make a mark opposite each candi date of his parly. This was cumbsrsom: and laborious and would result disadvan- taeeously so far as both the educated and the uneducated voter was concerned, Many business and professional men would not take the trouble to make a cross or mark opposite every name. This provision would also give the voter who was not able to read his ticket all the protection aad consideration to which he was entitled. It would not prevent the independent voter from scratching any individual candidat objectionable to him.

The vital principle of ballot reform be regarded as lodged in the 'official' ballot. To permit an unofficial ballot would leave the door as wide open a3 ever to bribery and corruption. Ati 'of ficial' ballot only would sweep away to a very great extent, if not entirely, all excuse for campaign funds, that fruitful source of bribery and corruption, for if the state pail all the expenses of the elections there would be little plea to levy assessments upon can didaies and contributions from interested outsiders." Arad S. Lakin. The Hancock Herald condenses the fol- lowing sketch from a lengthy obituary notice in the Atchison County Journal, published at Keck Port, Kan.

Mr. Lakin wa3 born in the town of Hancock, and his- brother, Omar O. Lakin, is a resident of Buckingham township, this county: The Rev. Arad S. Lakin, D.D.

who died in hock rort, jan. zz, layo, was born in Delaware county, jNew xork, in the year 1810. His parents were among the pioneers wno cleared away tne rorests aud settled in that part of the country. At the age of eighteen he was converted, felt that he was called to preach, and at once began to study for the ministry, in lsao tie was admitted to the Xew York, now the New York, East Conference. His artless, earnest man nergave him the title of the "'boy preacher" even when he had attained middle life.

in ne marnea fliiss Acniaa JNewton, a woman of intellectual aoiuty and profound piety. She died in 1883, after suffering for fifteen years from an accident by which she was crippled. In 1855 he moved to Indiana with his family, aud wa3 ttiere when the war of the rebellion called him from quiet pastoral work at home to the chaplaincy of the 30ih regiment of India ua Volunteers, where he faithfully performed the duties ot an earnest Cnristia'i, aui a brave patriot. His term of sSrvice expired in 1S04, but he gained permission to go with bherman to lae sea. After the war lie, with a colleague, wa3 sent to Alabama to reorganize the church there' the loyalists had been put out of the and so called for a ministry.

His assistant remained only a short time and the entire work devolved on Mr. Lakin who accomplished it nobly and well. His interest was keen in educational efforts, and Andrews College showed its gratitude for favors re ceived by conferring the title of D. D. In 1885 his only daughter and her family moved to Missouri, and in 1337 he decided to touow her.

lne caange was not ben eficial and his health gradually failed. The Mis ouri Conference granted his request for a circuit as he hoped the out door life would aid him iu the effort to recover health. His last illness was short. When asked if he knew he was neanng death, he answered; "I kuow that I am nearing my heavenly home. His remains were taken to Alabama for interment.

The influence of his. life is an inspiration to many, for "His sole ambition was to do his duty, and he did it. Business Notice. Rheumatism cuued in a day. "Mystic Cure lor Kueumatism ana Neuralgia rad ically cures in 1 to 3 days.

C. YATES LEDGER BUILDING, SIXTH AND CHESTNUT, PHILADELPHIA. vDw (W fWl have will on "Joe" Colt an Old Time Stage Driver Dies at a Rip Age. Joseph Coit, the last representative of old reinsmen that used to drive stages from Newburgh acrossOrange and Sullivan counties, Pennsylvania.and on to theLakes, died at the residence of Thomas Ellison, near Bethel Village, on Saturday last, aged over 80 years. Joe, as he was always cal'ed, commenced driving stage for Captain Stephen Hamil ton at the age of fifteen years.

From that time until the Erie railroad was completed up the Delaware he was a familiar figure, seated in state on his tallyho coaches, and skillfully controlling his four-in-hand down hills and across the valleys from the Hud son to tbe Delaware. It is safe to say that he was known to every man woman and child, who resided along the Newburgh and Cochecton Turnpike from 1835 to 1850. The western terminus of his route was gen erally Mount Pleasant, in Pennsylvania.and he knew every inch of the road for a hun dred miles west of the Hudson. Joe was as free from guile as the famous Pathfinder or Leather Stocking of Cooper's creation, and was highly esteemed tor his probity and quiet courage. He was a small, wiry man, and never feared the storms that swept over the bigli hills that he was used to traversing weekly for so many years.

About 20 years ago he was the victim of an assault made upon him while living iu Bethel. He was keeping house for a resi dent of the town, while he was absent from home and in the dead of night Coit was struck in the face with an axe, from which he never recovered. The miscreant who committed the cowardly act for tbe pur pose of robbery, or something worse, was tried at the Court of Sessions, but the proof did not satisfy the jury, and he was acquitted. It was one of the greatest travesties of justice that ever occurred in the county. Monticdh Watchman.

4(501(5 Protection of Fruit Trees from Mice Rabbits and Woodchncks. The Massachusetts Agricultural College, located at Amherst, issues bulletins occa sionally, giving results of their experiments which are useful to the farmer aDd all per sons interested in horticulture. In the last issue of the bulletin, just published, we find the following directions for ridding fruit orchards of pests which are sometimes very destructive: Another season's test, says Samuel T. Maynard, professor in the division of horticulture, has confirmed the results of our ex periments of previous years in protecting trees from injuries by girdling, and as numerous letters of inquiry for means of protection from girdling by mice, rabbits and woodchucks have been received, we give the results of our experiments up to date. In addition to the simple mixture of lime, cement and Paris green wash we have found, if the above be mixed with skim milk, it adheres better than if mixed with water; in some cases adhering firmly for six months or more.

Portland cement adheres more firmly than the Rosendale, and is more satisfac tory when not mixed with milk than the latter. Several reports have come to us of young trees haviug been injured by woodchucks during the summer, and in one case we can report that out of more tain 1,000 tree3 treated with cement, milk and Paris green, not one was injured during the past sum mer, while maav not painted were serious ly injured. The amount of Paris greea used was one tablespoonful to each gallon pail full of paint, mixed so as to easily upply with a paint brush. Business Notice.

6tf FREE EDUCATIONS FOR GIRLS. How Girls Can fiet a College Education Without Cost. A most praiseworthy movement is about to be set on foot by Tiie Lailes Hum Journal of Philadelphia. It proposes to give to any young girl of 1G years or over who will send to it, between now and January 1st, 1891, the largest number of yearly subscribers to the Journal, a complete education at Vassar College or any other American college she may select. The education offered includes every branch of study, with every expense paid, the Journal agreeing to edu cate the girl irrespective of the time required or the expense involved.

To thU is abo pinned a second offer which guarantees to any girl of 16 or over who will secure 1030 yearly subscribers before January l3t, a full term of one year at Va3sar or any other pre furred college, with all expenses paid, thus making it possible for any number of young girls to receive free educations at the b3t colleges. Any girl can enter into the competition, and any such can be thoroughly posted by simply writing to 1'lie Ladies Home Journal at 435 Arch Street, Philadelphia. The management says that it has been led to its generous offers by the fact that there are thousands of parents through out the country anxious to educate their daughters, and yet who cannot stand the expense. This step helps to a comparatively easy solution of the problem, siuce it throws a free education into the hands of any bright aud active girl. The Journal's movement is one that certainly cannot be too highly commended aud praised.

17. The Allan line steamship Scandinavian, which plies between Philadelphia and Glasgow, had a narrow escape from total destruction on her last voyage from Philadelphia owing to the explosion of a meteor on the decks of the vessel on the night of Jan. 23 last. She was in latitude 41 minutes, longitude 65 degrees 6 minutes. At the time of the occurrence the sea was running higli and the wind blo wing fui iou3 ly.

Chief Officer Miller, who was on watch at the time, says that a sudden gale sprang up from the northwest, accompanied by a dense snowstorm, with occasional squalls of hail and rain. The night was exceedingly dark. In a twinkling a ball of fire descended from the heavens with a hissing sound and exploded on the decks between the main and mizzen masts. Sparks were scattered all over the ship and hundreds of pieces of metal flew ever direction. Holes were burned in the decks, and the wildest consternation prevailed among the cattle that were being carried on deck.

Several of the crew were burned, and it was only through the persistent efforts of the officers that order was maintained. The vessels head was kept before the howling gale with the greatest difficulty. The hydrograpbic office at Washington and the meteorological offices throughout Europe look upon the affair as one of the most interesting and wonderful phenomena yet reported by seafaring men. of I.

20, 1890. Many of the counties in tbe neighborhood of Grand Forks, Dakota, are drouth-stricken, and the suffering for want of provisions, clothing, fuel and feed for stock is unprecedented. All the inhabitants are afflicted, but the distress among Hie Indians is by far the worst. Between 800 and 1,000 Indians credited to the Devil's Lake agency are wholly destitute of clothing and in the last stages of starvation. Umless furnished with food, clothing and medicine at once these Indians will die like dogs.

Disease has brought fully one half of them to the verge of the grave, and the recent inclemen weather enhances their sufferings. "An Ocvlar Delusion" is the title of bright social study in serial shape, which begins in the Xeto York Le 'ger of March 1. Tbe story holds the mirror up to club life iu the metropolis, and touches lightly but wiih a masterly and suggestive stroke of the etching hand, some of the most distinctive sides of New York sociitylife. Several of the characters are so strikingly typical that they may be taken for any one of scores of the members of the "lour Hundred." The hero is a fine combination of manliness, ready ingenuity and audacity a youth with a rare amount of phosphorus in his cerebral gray matter and an equally generous amount of red corpuscles in his veins a character which tbe author has elaborated with sympathetic interest, and which according to the impress-ion given by the advance sheets, represents aa oars man of a recent crew of a leading American college. The author, by the way, is that brilliant young newspaper worker.

Frank Howard Howe, son ot the late postmaster- general, Timothy F. Howe, of Wisconsin. TnE banquet of the Kew York bar in honor of the Supreme court last week, with near a thousand at the tables, the Ecening Post says, "embraced the eWe of tbe United States so far as they can or could be drawn together at one time and place." It was late in the night when the silver-tongued Joseph H. Choate rose to respond to the toast of "The Bar." Mr. Choate replied to some criticisms of Prof.

Bryce on the Aruer lean bar. Then ensued a scene which is described as follows: Ho went on to say that as far as its political influence went two of its embers were present besides him who had done as much to shape th course of American history as any two others be knew. One was Gene ml Sher man who had turned his shwzle into a sword and was able to reverse the process lannlausel. and the other was the uiui who I I had commanded the even of his political enemies Grover Cleveland. This was the signal for a tremendous out break.

Cheer after cheer rang through the hall, men stood upon their chairs and waved handkerchiefs, nankins and classes above their heads, and the women in the boxes applauded as. well. The demonstration lasted until Mr. Cleveland was forced to rise and bow his thanks. The Sisters of Mercy.

Th following interesting is from tbe Scranton correspondence of the rotlinlin Standard, of Philadelphia: The IU. Rev. Bithop O'Hara has jus-l completed l. ,..1..1.1. (iml tract of land, some thirty acre; extent nnri most desirably located about two miles from tLe city of Wiikctbarre, upon which he proposes building ia the near future a suitable summer residence or re treat for tbe Sisters of Mercy.

The pro ieet is one he has entertained for some time, and it will now be urged by him to an early fulfillment. The kite a charming one, and the buildicg and grounds, when ready for occupancy, will prove a decided acquisition to the increasing institutions of the diocese, which are making such sub stantial progress under the thoughtful ad ministration of the venerable Bishop. Tiie Sisters of Mercy have charge of the schools at Wilkesbarre, Plains, Plymouth, Nauti coke and Towanda, and number auout forty members. Ihe bibl.op has also purchased about eight acres adjoining St. Hary's Cemetery, Wilkesbarre, which wi afford opportunity for much needed improvement.

The place will be greatly beautified, and walks will be laid out ith a view to making the entrance to the burial ground more easy of access. In these purchases the Bishop manifests a thoughtful interest in the requirements of his people, which is a marked feature of his administration. A Farmer's Conclusions, He sat in tbe door at noonday, lonely and glum and sad, brooding over the price of his corn crop aad figuring how much he had. He had worked from eariy spring time, early and late and hard, and now he was counting his assets and figuring out his reward. He figured that it took two acres to buy hi3 two boys new boots, and ten acres more on top of this to fit them out with new suits.

To buy his wife a pro tected dress took one hundred bushels more, while five acres went iu a solid lump for a carpel on the floor. His taxes and his grocery bill absorbed his crop of oats, while the interest on his farm mortgage took all his fattened sboats. The shingles for 'his cow sheds and the lumber for his barn had eattn up his beef steers aad the balance of his corn. So he sat in the door at noonday, lonely and glum and sore; so be figured up l.u wealth a little less than i was the year before. By gum! they say I am protected, but 1 know there is something wrong.

I've been deceived and gulled and hoodwinked by this high pro tection song. They told of rebellious traitors and held up the bloody rag, and I followed along like a pumpkin and now I'mrliolding the bag. But from this time on I'll investigate and get to the bottom of facts, and I'll bet one dollar to begin with that the tariff is a tax. Colby Free Press. Lumbermen in Ead Shape.

The unprecedented want of snow has crippled traffic in the lumber woods and seriously interfered with tbe acid manu facturing business, The Hancock Ueraid says: The lumber is in the woods waiti ng to be drawn, but it cannot be moved without sleighing. The lumbermen owe for labor and their creditors are pressing them. If the lumber can be got to banks and mills and either run or sawed or shipped, all will be well.jbut otherwise there are lumbermen who will be much distressed. The acid men are better off. They are very anxious for snow, but even should they not get it.

it would mean nothing more than a shut down or hauling wood at an unusual ex pense during the summer, and therefore a smaller margin of profit. Business Notice. Catarrh i in the blood.

Honesdale, Feb. 6th, 1890. 1 i i beguiled by the soft-soaping ofice-seekers into believing that he might agai be a can didate of bis party 1893. 'Shis is daily becoming more aparent and Jpcounts for many seemingly queer appointrxjnts. His idea is to appoint only Harrisoe.

men, and carry it out he has already offended nearly every leading man in biif party. It only a few days since he revised to ap point a relative of Secretary postmaster of a Pennsylvania notwithstanding the fact that Mr. had personally asked that the appolitment be made. This bit of wild lunarf', for it can be called nothing else, on thejpart of Mr. Harrison, furnishes lots of ffin for the politicians here.

McGinty has more show for being nominated by the republicans in 1893 than Mr. Harrison has. The democratic Congressional Campaign committee is now fully organized for business and in a few days headquarters will be opened in this city the machinery started in motion to capture the next House of Representatives. The following list of members of that committee was obtained by your correspondent from the chairmau. It is absolutely correct, and is the first one given to the press: Roswell P.

Fowler, of New York, Chairman; T. 0 Towles, of Secretary; J. L. Norris, of Washington D. Treasurer.

Members: Oates, of. McKea, of Ciunie, of Cal. Giant, of Colo. Wilcox, of Conn. Pennington, of Davidson, of Fla Carlton, of Wike, of McCleMan, of Hayes, of Iowa; McCreary, of Ky.

Blanchiud, of Putmau, of Compton, of Md. Andrew, of Whiting, of Mich. Hitt, of Minn. Hooker, of Bland, of Mo. Hauser, of McShane, of Neb Cassidy, of Nevada; McKinley, of N.

Fowler, of N. Bunn, of N. C. Yoder, of Ohio Maish, of Lapam, of R. Dibble, of S.

McMillan, of Kilgore, of Texas; Yenable, of Virginia; Voorhees, of Washington Wilson, of W. Ya. Bawig, of M. A. Smith, of Arizona; Ste venson, of Idaho; Joseph of New Mexico; and Caine, of Utah.

No member of tbe committee has yet been selected from either of the Dakotas, or for Oregon. The Sen- atonal members of the committee are Gorman, chairman; McPherson, Blackburn Cocknll and Jones, of Arkansas, The gag rules under which the present House will work were adopted by a strict parly vote of 161 to 145. If the Senate committee on Privileges and Elections decide the Montana cases, which were beard Saturday, on the law and tb.e evidence, the democrats will soon have two more Senators. At any rate it is hardly possible iu view of tbe poor showing made by the republican contestants that the ma jority will have the effrontery to report in favor of seating them. The report will made this week.

Politics are to be shelved this week the House, and the World's Fair question dis posed of. The committee has reported two bills, one for holding the fair at New York, Chicago or St. Louis, and the other at Washington. To-morrow diacissioa to begin, and if possible the final vote is to be taken Friday or Saturday. The tight will be short but decidedly interesting, as al 1 of the cities have lots of friends on the ground whooping things up.

The Blair educational bill is the foot ball of the Senate. It was kicked aside last week to pass the bill establishing a Terri torial government in Oklahoma, but will bob up serenely this week a3 unfinished business. A yote may hi reached oa it tlii week, but it somewhat doubtful. Mr. Harrison will have a somewhat deli cate duty to perform if a bill which has passed the Senate shall get through the House.

It appropriates $2,500 to pay leg-il fees to the firm of Porter, Harrison Fish- back, a firm ot which Mr. Uirrisoaisa member. The question is, will he bign a bill appropriating money for his own benefit, or will he let it become a without signing it? It's dollars to brass buttons he don't veto it. The republicans are not having smooth sailing in the preparation of a new tariff bill. They started out with the intention of reporting the bill to the House by the first of February, now they say they hope to have it ready by the first of Jlarcli.

The The whole truth of tbe matter is, the tarill reform idea is spreading so rapidly th.it it is getting among the republicans, and unless tbe Ways and Means committee report a very different bill from what Chairman McKinley started out to make, it will never be passed by the House. The new rules are pretty far-reaching but they cannot accomplish everything, as will be discovered before this session ends. The regular annual convention of the woman's rights people opens here tomorrow. Listen men and brethren. The Pension Office asks for a deficiency appropriation of $31,500,000 to carry it up to the first of July.

Eli Zane is a lucky man. lie has just drawn a twentieth of the second capital prize of $100 000 in the Louisiana state Lottery and finds himself the possessor of 5,000. He cannot contain himself for joy. One minute lie thinks ne will buy a farm, the next that he will travel, the next that he will set himself up in some business. The latter idea is the one that finds most favor with him.

and he will, doubtless, eoon open a well-stocked grocery store. Eli lives at No. 1800 Thompson street and he was sensible and lucky enough to invest, secretly, one dollar in ticket iNo. 12,132 in tbe Louisiaua State Lottery. That ticket drew the $100,000 prize, aud the news, communicated Mr.

Zane Immediately after the drawing, threw him into great excitement. He did not feel quite like a rich mau, however, until he got the money into his hands. Then he began to imagine he could buy up the whole earth. "Am I happy?" he repeated after an Item reporter, who called on him. "Well, I should smile! What do you expect of a man who gets $5,000 for one dollar? Why, I feel as rich as Croesus, I knew I would strike luci if I continued investing in the Louisiana State Lottery." Philadelphia (Pa.) Item, January 81.

Poor Hamanity The common lot is one of sorrow say at least the pessimists, they who look at the worst side. Certainly what would otherwise be a bright existence, is often shadowed by some ailment that overhangs it like a pall, obscuring perpetually the radiance that else would light the path. Such an ailmeDt, and a very common one, is nervousness, or in other words, weakness of the nervous system, a condition only irremediable while inefficient or improper means are taken to relieve it. The concurrent experience of nervous people who have persistently used Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is, that it conquers entirely super-scntitiveness of the nerves, as well as diseases so called which are iuvited and sustained by their chronic weakness As the nerves gain stamina from the great tonic the trouble disappeirs. Use the Bitters for malaria, rheumatism, billiousness and kidnev troubles.
