Our farmers are taking more interest in stock raising this season than for many years. They have been buying more fine stock than ever before, and are determined to raisfe as much of their supplies as possible at home the com ing year. There is a growing demand tor working stock, such as mules. Land has been in greater demand than for numbers of years, and to the farm ers that are leaving old Georgia we can say that they could make a good living and money too, on their own soil, if they were only industrious. Texas has no better producing lands than our State, only in some isolated spots, and the majority of the emigrants will re turn to their “dear old Sunny South" before many years. We mention this Improved request for mules and lands to show the gradual .improvement of the country. Men have ceased to be satisfied with what will do them. MUSCOGEE SUPERIOR COURT.

Yesterday morning, just before the departure of the YVvliy, a crowd of ne groes were standing near a lire on the wharf, when a female of African de- scension and of about thirteen years, caught fire and would have been seri ously burnt, but for the manly snatch es made by the crowd for “does robes.” The rescuing party was head ed by an old negro woman, who looked as if about forty-five years of ago was spent in a gas house, but seemed to command the valiant knights. One would jerk one way, another throw her down, then pick her iqi, and one hallooing “froe her in do river,” until the flames were extinguished. Had her wearing apparel been one less in num ber, she would have been forced to call Mother Eve for fig leaves. After gath ering up the remnants of “dose robes” and her “tiny” garters she made a break for the bluff, jumpping the ditches as nimbly as our Senior’s pet Billy, but without the slightest regard for grace. Runlnes* in Earnest. The late cold snap has made it evi dent that people, to keep warm, must have Clothes, and where to get Clothes at the best advantage is a question which is agitating the earnest reflecting minds. Many sensible people have settled down upon tlie conclusion that the Fashionable Emporium of Thomas & Prescott is the place, where extraor dinary bargains in ready-made Cloth ing may be had. It is a well-known fact that these gentlemen have one of the best stocks of Gents’ Clothing, Fur nishing Goods, Underwear, <fec., to be found in the South, and their prices are so low that purchasers are astonish ed at the bargains thrust upon them. Now we say to the naked and thread bare, if you want to be fitted up in gen teel style for winter you should call on Thomas & Prescott. Attention. Choral Union, Attend your regular meeting to-mor row (Monday) evening, at 7} o'clock. It is hoped that every member will attend. j no. H. Johnston, Sec'y. Mr. John SI. Clnir Announces himself as a candidate lor City Sexton. Mr. St. Clair is well known in the community as a reliable gentleman and if selected as Sexton will make a good and faithful officer. 1 f you want honest Loaves at reason able prices, call on Mrs. Stevenson. Fomins Entertainment. Augustin Daly has accepted the offer of Burr Brown, and will play Miss Fan nie Davenport and his entire Fifth Av enue Company in Macon on February H. in Pique. We hope Mr. Springer " ill get the company here. They will draw crowded houses. The 3Iarsbalshi|>. Our columns contain announcements from two gentlemen who aspire to this position. Mr. W. L. Robinson has served in this position, and proved an acceptable officer. Mr. Tift T. Moore, the present incumbent, also announces himself for re-election. Mr. M. is too well known by The citizens of our city as an official, who discharges his duty with fearlessness and discretion. Tlie city marshal should be a man in whom the highest confidence can be placed, for of all the city offices it is the easiest, if a man is disposed to make it so ; or, in other words, neglect his duty, which, if he has any shrewd ness at all, he can do without detection. Let the man proved to be best fitted for the position be elected. Bcantifnl Hat* and Bonnet*. Some of the choicest and prettiest of the season, will be on exhibition at iny store during this week. Mrs. Lee. Complimentary. The Choral Union will give their next regular monthly concert, complimen tary to the honorary members, to-mor row night.

Noth, ing so encourages amateurs as the pres ence of large assemblages. Old Type Jlotal, Ac. We have about 1,000 pounds of old type metal which we offer for sale cheap. Also, about 400 pounds Nonpareil, Brevier and display type. Hp2 tf Enquirer-Sun. Riin.inav>. That pair of horses belonging to Mr. Gamrnel, which are so noted for run ning away, made another dash yester day from the Southwestern depot and ran toward and under the culvert of the same road, and thereabout hurled the driver from his position. He was con siderably bruised. They were xvork- ing to a dray this time. Another team, which wc were in formed belonged to Mr. George Car gill, took a little scamper about Dave's saloon. The}’ were hauling empty beer kegs. All owing to an influence of spirits. That Cut. It has not caused any suffering, be cause it will “heal” the purse. We al lude to the “cut” of J. Kyle <fc Co. in these columns, which tells all about their “new’shirt.” They are dragging these shirt (we mean their coat) tails about for some one to step on them and “banter” for competion. Now, to pre vent any difficulty about this matter, just go and examine J. Kyle A Co.'s beautiful lino of shirts. AA’e will not give the name and style of the shirt, as it can be seen in the advertisement. The Holidays < Will soon be here, and those in want of Tovs, Fireworks, <fcc., should call on Mrs. Stevenson, at the un-town Bakery. Debate Monday Slfhi. Major E. W. Miller, of Marion coun ty, will meet Hon. T. AV. Grimes in discussion at the court house On to morrow (Monday) night. The discus sion will doubtless be interesting, as both of the gentlemen are not only fine orators, but are strong-minded men, who will do their ntmost for the dis trict. Religion* Intelligence. Rev. Mr. Dempsey married four couples, in Cobb county, on Thanks- | giving Day, which caused four mothers to give thanks. It is stated that a Presiding Elder, in presenting a candidate for the minis try, stated that he was a newspaper man, and had made a living at that business, which qualified him for a successful preaehei;. Well, there are Crymes, Edge, Park, Callaway, An thony, Knowles, Cloud, Read, Cald well, Christian, and twenty more edi tor preachers in the State. The Rev. James Prophet, of the North Georgia Conference, having turned out a false prophet, has handed in his cre dentials and been turned out by the Conference. Thanksgiving Day was generally ob served throughout the State by the va rious shooting clubs, and in other en joyable ways. In Savsnnah picnics to | Tyboc and Thunderbolt, and prize | shooting at the Sehutzen Park enabled j all classes to render thanks in their ; own peculiar way. There xvas plenty ! room for all who preferred to attend j church, and no one was crowded. The Rev. U. S. Bird, who did such noble service at Fernandina during the yellow fever epidemic, has this year been stationed at Lake City by the Florida Methodist Conference. Richard Grant White, in speaking of the generosity of actors to the late Ed win Adams, makes this startling, but well-founded statement: “A profes sion, it may here be remarked, which notwithstanding its temptations, fur nishes fewer criminals in proportion to its numbers than any other—even that of the ministers of religion.” The delegates from the North Geor gia Conference to the Methodist Gen eral Conference are able men : Clerical Delegates—Rev. A. G. Haygood, Presi dent Emory College; the venerable and Rev. Dr. Jesse Boring, Rev. AV. H. Pot ter, Rev. J. E. Evans, D. D., Trinity Church, Atlanta; Rev. H. J. Adams, Sparta; Rev. AV. F. Cook, D.

Parks; and Prof. E. M. Pendleton, AV. A. Melson, John H. Jones and R. M. McIntosh. Con ference meets in Atlanta next May. Arc Half Our Colton Receipt* Ware housed. To last night 36,234 bales of cotton had been warehoused in Columbus. It has been complained that this is a slow receipt year and totals will show large ly. Let us see how the past years prove. In the season of 1874-5 the total received was 58,107 bales and half of that was warehoused by Nov. 26th. In 1875- 6 the total receipts were 51,873 and half was counted by Nov. 28th. In 1876- 7 the total was 72,524, half of which had come in by Nov. 20th. So there is really not much difference after all in the season as we find a difference of on ly two days in two seasons, and six and eight days in a third. Rating this year at the Same ratio the total receipts will vary between 60,000 to 66,000 bales. If the out-turn prove different it will be an exceptional year. Cotton now comes in much moro rapidly than the years just succeeding the war. For the first few seasons after the revolution half of the staple was not xvarehoused until the 3d or 10th of December. Now it is fully two weeks earlier. AVeare thus partic ular to give our merchants and busi ness men an idea of xvhicli they may expect. Col. F. G. Wiltalu* for Mayor. This gentleman is announced as a candidate for Mayor of Columbus. His life and character are too favorably known in our city, which has honored him too often with the chief office in her gift, for comment from us. Again and again has ho been elected as Mayor of the city, and'even when defeated he has made gallant races. He has served the city well and ably, and has at heart her best interests. AVe can but repeat Col. AA’ilkins and his entire history are known to our people, and like all posi- tive characters has made friends as well as enemies, but all know he is as true as steel to his convictions of duty, and his aims have been for the best inter ests of Columbus.

The month commenced yesterday AVith the Romans it was the tenth month, whence its name from the Latiq decern, ten; and after the change in the calendar, by which the begin ning of the year was transferred from March to January, it still retained its old name. As the winter solstice falls in this month, the average length of the days is less and the nights greater than in any other month of the year, Christmast comes op Tuesday three weeks; so there is noj a superabun dance of time to look for and select gifts.

Candidates are treating, so we are in formed. —Our municipal election is exciting considerable interest. —It’s a wise child that knows its own pap. —The teacher is the candle which lights others in consuming itself. —Of 69 words which make up the Lord’s Prayer, only five are not Saxon. —A sloppy day is more appetizinglv called a “juicy day,” out AA’est. —First irate Female: “I’d hate to be in your shoes!” Second ditto: “You couldn’t get in them!” —The Government steamer, Clara Dunning, is at the wharf. —The most scrupulous proof reader never thinks of correcting typograph ical errors in Russian names. —The chufa is recommended for hogs. It grows abundantly and ena bles every hog to cliufa himself. —All the clothing and coal men we met yesterday were in the best of hu mors—this cold weather is the secret. —Mr. Talmage remarks in prayer j that it is dubious whether or not men j will do by us as they want to be done i by. —The steamer AVylly left yesterday j morning with a good freight and a j large passenger list. —Yesterday numbers of countrymen were in the'city, and the merchants were generally busy. —Mayor Brannon publicly announces he will not be a candidate for re-elec tion, which determination the people regret. —It is cheaper to buy birds than to shoot them; and in the' market a man can choose liis birds. —Our “counting men” will please “count’em in” as accurately as possi ble in the churches this morning and evening, as we hoar of some com plaints. —Eighteen button kid gloves are tlie latest. They come up to the shoulder and meet the short sleeves. If they are to bo worn in the evening, ladies should commence to fasten them at 3 p. m. —“Silk stockings, with lace medal lion covering the instep, are §30 a pair,” remarks a fashion journal, and yet won der is expressed that the demand for marriage licenses is so small. —Men’s hats, coats and vests are worn by ladies who are understood to illus trate the fashions of the day. It is ex pected that gentlemen will break out in low neck and short sleeve coats early in the spring, and will have their front hair nicely banged. —A bailiff on yesterday was request ed to divide the property belonging to a colored “geman,” and liis lady, as they wished to “part foreber.” He did as requested and they now are living in different porttons of the city* “whole heart and fancy free.” Merchants that will not invite the public to examine their goods of course do not wish to be troubled. “Don't in trude on their privacy,” but if you need anything examine our “ad” columns and if no notice is found then of course the supposition is that it is not to be found in the city. —The Nashville American says: “Saturday afternoon at 4 o’clock the Elevator Mills receix’ed a dispatch from Columbus, Ga., ordering a car load of flour. The order was wired out to the elevator, a dispatch sent from there to the depot for a car, and by five o’clock the loaded train was on its way to Co lumbus. Rather quick work both on the part of the firm and the Louisville, Nashville & Great Southern.” That was decidedly qnick work.

Flatboat with Thirty Emigrant* Brok en Up and Fire Lire* Lost. Pittsburg, Nov. 28.—John B. Painter, of this city, with a party of colonizers, thirty souls in all, left this city this afternoon in a flatboat, in tending to travel by river to Arkan sas. They launched the boat about two o’clock, and had only floated a short distance, when one of the steer ing oars broke, and the boat began to drift with the current. Just as they entered the Ohio river the flat- boat struck a fleet of coal barges, and the flatboat parted in three pieces and broke up, throwing the emigrants into the water. Some of them climbed out on the coal barges and others were rescued by skiffs. A Swiss family named Rife, consisting of father, mother and two children, and a man from Philadelphia, whose name is unknown, perished. All tlie rest xvere saved, although xvith the great est difficulty. One woman with an infant floated several hundred yards before she was picked up.

There have been 1,800 bills intro duced in the House during the called session, and only txvo hills have be come laws—the Army appropriation bill and the Nax r al deficiency bill. The bills to remonetize the silx’er and repeal the Resumption act hax*e not been acted on in the Senate. The Paris Exposition bill and the General Deficiency bill were taken up and amended in the Senate, but the amendments to those bills have not been acted on in the House. All the unfinished business of this, session, however, holds its place in the next session. TURK0-RUSSIAN WAR. TURKS I.OSE ‘1,500 li IT CEO AT METCMKA. The Porte Makes Amend to Italy.

He Wanted Shortcake. Yesterday forenoon people passing out of the north doors of the City Hall observed a man about fifty years of age, clad as a fanner, seated on the stone steps, and chexving away at such a monstrous quid of gum that his hair flexv up ex r ery time his jaws came together. He was enjoying himself as xvell as anybody can in a country, full of ague, politicians and lightning rod men, xvhen a young man about txventy years old, and a woman of fifty, exddently his mother, got out of a one-horse wagon on the west side, made the faded old animal fast to a post, and started into the Hall to see the Chief of Police. Fate led them around the flat-iron corner to the north door, and as they ascend ed the steps they xvalked directly upon the gum chewer. All of them gave start of surprise, and it xvas half a minute before the little old woman called out: Look at him, Tunius—see hoxv shamed and sneaking he looks!” Who’s ashamed!” demanded the old man as he stopped chexving and missed a motion. “You be, and you knoxvit!” she snarled. “You went to bed mad, got up in the night and sneaked out, and you must ha\ r e looked party digging into town through the mud by moon light!” Don’t I oxvn myself?” he grimly asked betxx’een his chews. See here, dad,” said the son, xvhose mouth seemed to water for part of the gun, “you know you made a fool of yourself, and you might as xvell own it up, and come along home. If this thing gets out the neighbors xvill bore you to death.’’ “l’m right on the death!” sorroxv- fully answered the father, reaching into'his mouth with his fingers to turn the quid ox er. “If I .can’t be respected in my oxvn house I might as xvell drink boss medicine and die!” “What nonsense!” urged the xvife. “You knoxv you got mad first.” “Hadn’t j aright to?” he solemnly asked. When the man of the house, ho lies broken his back to make eighty-seven acres of hoxvling xx ilder- ness pan out produce till you can’t rest—when he says he’ll have short cake for supper hasn’t he a right to expect that the shortcake will be thar when he sits down to the table?” “But I understood you to say pan cakes, and I made pan cakes,” she protested. Yes, I saw ’em thar!” he softly said as he spit xx’uy off down tlie steps. “It’s putty small, dad, putty small,” observed the son as he felt in his pockets for something to chew on. “There’s the boss and wagon out there, and you want to come along home. The fust thing you know ex’erybody will he calling you 'Short cake Jones,’ and I’ll be run down, and ma’ll be run down, and xve can’t sell the farm for ten dollars.” “Yes, come along, William,’’plead ed the old lady. “I’d kinder like to go back to th® old place and see if things look natu ral,” he mused, “but I dunno. As long as I don’t amount to nothin’ nor nobody around thar, j might as xvell stay in the city. Here they all take me for a big gun, and ox-er forty ladies liax-e smiled at me this morn ing.” “The jades!” gasped his wife. “Dad, that’s a whopper, and you know it!”said the son, xvhose jaxx’s had instinctively been keeping time with those of his father, “you are either going home or I’ll hax-e the police put you where you xvan’t see short cake'once in ten years!” “See thar—didn’t I say so—didn’t I say I was nuthin’ more’n a scrub in my own house!” exclaimed the old man. * “Come along—you shall liax’e lots of short-cake,” xvhispered the wife, pulling at his arm. “No—can’t do it—not without guar antees,” he stiffly replied. “What do you want, William?” “Well, ’spose I want short-cake for supper?” “You can have it.” “’Spose I xvant to sit with my feet on the lounge?” “You may, William.” “’Spose I want to lay abed Sunday morning till ten o’clock?” “You may, and T’ll bring your breakfast to you.” He xx’as tempted. “The cows xvas loxving all around for you this morning,” she xvhisper ed, '“and the hogs didn’t act natural a bit. I beliex-e the x-ery hens missed you.” He rose up. “Are you coming, dad?” asked “Tumus,” xvho hail been looking down upon the street. “Yaas, I guess so, but I xi’ant it un derstood that I run the house. If I say short-cake for supper she’s got to short right up to the handle, and no jawin’ around.” “It’s all right—all right,” said the wife as she urged him along. “Yes, all right—prodigal father re turning to his son,” added the boy. “Say, .you—divide up on that gum.” It was a lovely signt to see the trio halt beside the moss-cox'ered horse n Entertainment which even Great Boston wo* Pleased With. Boston, November 26.—Notwith standing the storm, Music Hall was about two-thirds filled by an audience largely composed of the male sex. The lecture occupied an hour and a half in delivery, and xvhile not cre ating much enthusiasm, left a most fax’orable impression. Mr. Hall, who was attired in fault less ex’ening dress, and without any ornament upon his person, began speaking as though addressing a jury, and during his long monologue, nex’er referred to the manuscript. It had been generally supposed that he j xvas going to refer to the Nexv York j complications, but he presented in stead what, ex-en in Boston, will be regarded as a scholarly and eloquent production. He substantially enacted in the Rotunda of the Pantheon of history a trial to determine xxhich of the Presidents should hax’e the wreath which Fame had prepared for the tomb of him who had done most to honor his country and his people,and the verdict xvas to be based upon the relation of each to the time in which . he lived. Father Time xvas Judge; Clio, the shorthand reporter; Aurora, the clerk; Harpo- crates (God of Silence), the crier; Apollo, the constable; and the jury xvas selected from the eighteen Chris tian centuries, each of which xvas mythically represented by a person age bearing in his person, dress, or manner the historical attributes com mon to his epoch. The description of the counsel for Fame xvas undoubtedly that of Mr. Stoughton, and xvas very handsomely done, as were the descriptions of D. D. Field for Madison, Senator Bayard for Jefferson, and Gen. Sickles for Buchanan. The jury challenges xvere humorously done, and the foibles of the counsel happily hit off. One of the features xvas the appear ance of a lady member of the bar from Colorado for Monroe and the era of good feeling. She xx-as inter rupted by a mythical president of the society for the protection of man against the oppressions of worn an, and in a dialogue ensuing xvas inter woven a neat defence of the claims of woman to entrance into learned pro fessions. The counsel for John Tyler was ex’- identlj a burlesque on some London barrister, xvith his exceptions and as saults on a xvitness. This was ex*i- dently the poet Bryant, xvho xx r as felicitously introduced in a most com plimentary and respectful manner, from xvhoni in his charge to the Jury, Time quoted, John Jay appeared for Washington, and Richard Henry Dana, Jr., for Lincoln. Thexvitness- es, who had known ex-ery incumbent except Washington, gax-e the salient points of each President. Cupid acted as interpreter, as juror, spoke x’arious languages, and that of the God of Lo\-e xvas universal. Mr. Tilden xvas counsel for Gen. Jackson, and read his celebrated letter to Monroe for cix’il service reform. The jury retired, and, as usual, di- x’ided, but at length balloted, and stood six for Washington and six for Lincoln. The Court and famous counsel accepted tlie compromise, and so the xvreath was dix’ided, and then poetic and oratorical epilogue con cluded a performance of xvhich it would be impossible to condense any of the immense variety of dramatic, didactic, historic, and sarcastic pas sages. THE VNCERTAINTIES OE TIFT: A NO INSFRANCE. Wbnt necame'of Fifteen Millions. Correspondence of the Hartford Times.] Nexv York, November 22.—If there is any chance of your getting into a row some day and being shot, don’t insure your life. If you do, ten to one the company xvon’t pay your heirs a blessed dollar, unless the laxv says it must. Here, now, is the Nexv York Life Insurance Company, one of the largest concerns in the country, making a fight on that very point. The particulars are brief enough. Wisner Murray, of Goshen, had his life insured in the Nexv York for a large amount. Bitter enmity broke out between him and Robert H. Ber- dell, ex-President of the Erie Rail road. It xvas a woman matter at the bottom, and consequently- the bad blood stirred up xvas of the x r ery xvorst kind. One day, about txx’o years ago, when Berdell stepped from a train at Goshen, and entered the depot to reach his carriage at the other side, he found himself quickly seized by a brother of Wisner Murrajqxx’hileat the same instant Wisner himself attacked him with a rawhide. Berdell broke away from the one who had caught him, and drew a revolx’er. When Wisner saxv the shooting iron, he promptly gax*e up the coxvhiding con tract and ran. He had reached a side door and xvas almost out of range, when a ball from Berdell’s revolx’er brought him down. The xx’ound prox-ed fatal, and, a short time after Murray’s death, his heirs claimed the insurance. But claiming and getting are two x’ery different things. After backing and filling for a considerable time, the then New York Life finally gave its ultimatum. It would not pay the heirs one dollar, on the ground that Murray had forfeited his right under the insurance agreement by deliberately putting his life in dan ger. The heirs are noxv sueing, and a long fight is looked for. At first glance the refusual to pay looks rather like sharp practice. But that is what life insurance companies seem to be created for, so, I suppose, there is no occasion for surprise. THIRTEEN BROKEN COMPANIES. The thirteen life companies which have collapsed since that sort of thing began are still in the hands of re ceivers. There is not the least prob ability that any of the baker’s dozen xvill ever get' a fresh start. Each proved so utterly rotten xvhen day light was let into it, that it could nsver again get business, even though the insurance department gax’e per mission to go ahead. The xvhole tiiirteen companies are managed (or manipulated) by respectable men— men of good social standing—xvho at tend fashionable churches, and think it xvould be a good thing to take the ballot axvay from the working classes. Not having the figures at hand just now, I cannot say exactly how many millions these respectable, religious, suffrage-restriction gentlemen have stolen, or permitted to be stolen, from the confiding policy-holders, xvho xvere credulous enough to trust them. But the gross amount is no trifle. The liabilities of the Continental foot up $5,300,000, and the receix’er thinks that if the policy-holders live long enough they may ultimately get thirty-five cents on the dollar. The liabilith s of the Security amount to something ox’er §4,000,000, and it is doubtful if over twenty cents on the dollar will ex-er be paid. It would not be much out of the xyay to put down the aggregate stealings, or mis appropriations, or xvhatever they may lie called, at $15,000,000. A large part of this sum xvas unquestion ably squandered in loose manage- Hoh a Timid. Fair Toaag Gill, with Golden Hair, Created a Senaatioa. From the Burlington Hawkeye.] It was in the Cedar Rapids sleeper. Outside it xvas as dark as the inside of an ink bottle! In the sleeping car people slept. Or tried it. Some of them slept like Christian men and women, peacefully and sweetly and quietly. Others slept like demons, malig nantly, hideously, fiendishly, though it was their mission to keep ex’erybody else awake. Of these the man in lower number three xvas the “boss.” When it came to a square snore with variations, you wanted to count “lower three” in, With a full hand and a pocket full of rocks. We never heard anything snore like him. It xvas the most systematic snoring, that xvas ever done, even on one of those tournaments of snoring, a sleeping car. He didn’t begin as soon as the lamps were turned down and ex’erybody xvas in bed. Oh no, There was more cold-blooded diabol ism in his system than that. He xvaited until' ex’erybody had had little taste of sleep, just to see how good and pleasant it was, and then he broke in on their slumbers like winged, breathing demon, and they nex’er knew xvhat peace xx-as again that night. He started out xvith a terrific “Gn-r-r-r-t!” That opened ex-ery eye in tlie car. We all hoped it xx’as an'accident, how ever, and trusting that he wouldn’t do it again, we all forgax-e him. Then he blasted our hopes and curdled the sxvept serenity of our forgiveness by a long drawn “Gxx’-a-h-h-hah! ’ ’ That sounded too much like busi ness to be accidental. Then every head in that sleepless sleeper xvas held off the pilloxv for a minute, waiting in breathless suspense, to hear the worst, and the sleeper in “loxx-er three” went on, in long-draxvn regular ca dences that indicated good staving qualities. “Gxx a-a-ali! Gwa-a-a-ah! Gahwah- wah! Gahwahwah! Gahxv a-a-ah!” Evidently it was going to last all night, and the weary heads dropped back on the sleepless pilloxvs and the swearing began. It mumbled along in loxv, muttering tones, like the dis tant echoes of a profane thunder storm. Pretty soon “loxxer three” gax’e us a little x’ariation. He shot off a spiteful “Gwook !!”• Which sounded as though his nose had got mad at him and was going to strike. Then there xvas a pause, and xve began to hope he had either awakened from sleep or strangled to death, nobody cared \’cry particularly xvhich. But he disappointed every body with a gutteral “Gurooch!” Then he paused again for breath, and xvhen he had accumulated enough for his purpose he resumed business with a stentorious . “Koxx’pf!” That nearly shot the roof oft the car. Then he xvent on playing such fantastic tricks xvith his nose, and breathing things that would make immortal gods weep, if they did but hear him. It seemed a mattejr in credible, it seemed an utter prepos terous impossibility, that any human being could make the monstrous, hideous noises xvith its breathing ma chine that the fellow in “loxver three” was making with his. He ran through all the ranges of the nasal gamut, he went up and down a very chromatic scale of snores, he ran through intri cate and fearful x’ariations until it seemed that his nose must be out of joint in a thousand places. All the night and all the night through he told his story. “Gaxvoh! gurrah! gu-r-r-r! Koxx’pft! Gawaxvxx’ah ? gawah-hah! gwock ? gwarrt! gxvali h-h-11 whoof!” Just as the other passengers had consulted together how they might slay him, morning dawned, and “loxx’er number three” axvoke. Every body watched the curtain to see what manner of man it was that had made that beautiful sleeping car a pandimo- neum. Presently the toilet was com pleted, the curtains parted, and '‘lower number three” stood rex’ealed. Great heax r ens! It was a fair, young girl, with gol den hair, and timid, pleading eyes, like a hunted fawn’s! lAtcvmtius, December: extra $4 25^450, family 951 quiet—redfl 25@128,white*— _ 135.

Stevens: Dear Sir—A few days after the Fourth of July last I got my log hurt by a fellow-work man letting a plank tall, which struck me on the knee. For four months following I was under the treatment of the physician* at the Dispensary, at the end of which time they told me thty could do nothing more for me, and that I , must go to the hospital and have my leg amputated above the knee, I was removed to the hospital, and lay there ten weeks under the treatment of the best skill the hospital afforded, and no pen can describe the great suffering I endured. My leg was swollen to nearly the Blze of my body, and all the surface of my knee turned black, and I wad' told that my knee was so diseased as to render it impossible to save my leg, and unless it was amputated soon I would die. When I first went, to the hos pital, I raised such an objection to the am putation of my leg, they consented to try one alternative^ which was to cut out sE the diseased flesh and replace it xvith sound flesh from the other leg. They did cut six pieces Worn my well leg, and place it where the diseased flesh had been removed: hut the bone was so much diseased that this ex periment proved a failure, and I was re- moxred to my home in a hopeless condition. Other phyBicians were then employed, un til all the money which I had saved from earnings had been expended, and one ment, but another large part xvas cer tainly spent by the officers in ex travagant living. Hoxvex’er, the sub ject is no longer fresh to anyone, and perhaps I had best not take up any more space xvkh it. ♦ J. H.

At this time Mr. HilTfthe polIce officer in my street, called in to see me, and, after rendering pecuniary assistance to my family, brought some Vegetine for me, urging me to give it a faithful trial, saying when those two bottles were gone he would see that I had some more. Alter I had been taking the Vegetine three days the nicer* in my knee commenced to discharge, and I cannot begin to describe the frightful quan tity that was discharged daring the follow ing eight days; and though previously I had suffered indescribable pain, rendering sleep impossible, after taking the Vegetine three days the pain all left me, and my whole complaint seemed to be ponrlng out of mo with this corrupted matter. The Vegetine was not only forcing disease from me, but it gave me strength from day to day. When I commenced on the fourth bottle of Vegetine the swelling had all left my leg, and the sore which covered the whole sur face of my knee commenced to heal next to the bone. I am now on the sixth bottle: the sore is entirely healed, and mv health so improved as to enable me to wa'lk ail over town. The Vegetine has nred an Uft. It has cured my leg,and restored me to health; my knee bears the mark of my great suffer ing, and it will always afford me pleasure to show the proof of what this good medicine I has done for me. I am, dear sir, Very gratefullv, JOHN WELCH, . 93 Keetand Street. The Policeman’s Statement. The above statement is true. I procured the Vegetine for him, and carenilly ob served his condition from the time he com menced to use it until he was cured. WM. B. HILL, Police Officer, Station 4, Boston, Mass. VEGETINEf Safe and Sure. Mr. H. R. Stex’ens: In 1872 your Vegetine was recommeded to me, and, yielding to the persuasions of a friend, I consented to try It. At the time I was suffering from general debility and nervous prostration, superinduced by over work and irregular habits. Its wonderful strengthening and curative properties seemed to affect my debilitated system from the first dose, and under its persistent we I rapidly recovered, gaining more than usual health and good feeling. Since then I have not hesitated to give Vegetine my most unqualified endorsement as being a safe sure and powerful agent in promoting health and restoring the wasted system to new life and energy. Vegetine is the only medicine I use, and as long a* I live I never J expect to find a better. Yours truly, W. H. CLARK, 120 Monterey Street, Alleghany, Penn. VECETINE Prepared by H. R.
