Tliero recently died st Potedem, Bt

who waa in wise respect one of the

Donovan lived in Wntrrtown end worked
in e flour mill. One day he wae caught
| in a belt and received injuries that ne
cessitated taking off both arms at the
i shoulders.
This great misfortune did not div
courage him, and after recovering his
health he set about earning bis liveli
hood as lieat he could without the Übe
: of hands or arms. Part of the time he
I had lived alone, nnd from the necessity
of helping himself he became wonder
i fully adept in performing all kinda ol
work, using his feet nnd mouth princi
pally lie owned a horse, of which he
- took toe entire care, harnessed it fst
| tened and unfastened the buckles with
| his teeth, and drove wiih the reins tied
around his shoulders lining in need of
a wagon, lie bought wheels and axles,
and built a box buggy complete and
painted it. He went to the burn one
winter day and built a cow stable, saw
ing the lumber with his feet, and with
the hammer iu ■ ne foot nnd holding the
( nail with the other, iyn.i led the boards
j on as well as ino.t men could with their
j hands. He dug a well twelve feet deep
! on a farm in this town and stoned it
himself. He could mow away hay by
bolding the fork under hia thin and
letting it rest against his shoulder. He
would pick up potatoes in the field as
fas' as a man could dig them. He would
drei -. himself, get his meals, write his
Ic.ters, and, in fa t. do almost anything
that n man with two arms could do. He
was engaged for some lime with Thomas
Collins, of Potsdam, in the snlc of bug

“I am told that there is to be an Es
quimau dog team at the carnival,'’ said
Mr. J. H. Hubbard, who had chargo of
the Canadian gamo trophy at the Mon
treal Colonial Exhibition. “It would
be a splendid attraction if they have a
good team." “Is it not your team that
is to be exhibited?" usked a reporter.
“No,” was tlie reply. “Mine were
slulTed, and I have left them in Eng
land. It was the same team whicli con
veyed Major Jarvis right through from
Fort Churchill, and their reward on ar
riving at Winnipeg was to be poisoned
by prussic acid and (tailed for exhibi
tion. 1 have the harness here with me.”
“How many dogs do they usually have
to a team?” was the next question.
“There are usuully four, but very often
six or eight. It would not do, however,
to havo more than four in a team to bo
driven through the streets, ns, with the
bands of music, tho noise and the crowd
of people, thoy would be hard to man
age. Tho best dog is a cross between a
wolf and a collio slut. Thoy nro not,
savage, but, on the contrary, are very
dovoted to tho man who fools them.
They are very peculiar in this icspoct.
A mau may drive a team for five years
and feed them every night, but if be
sells them tho buyer feeds them and
thereupon he becomes their bo.s. They
give implicit obedience to the man who
iceds them last Good dogs are worth
from $25 io SSO. They tmed to be em
ployed in drawing Huh from Lake Win
nipeg into tho town, nnd are often used
yet by the Indians who come in on
treaty days for their pay. When the
Indians havo their sun dance they kill
and eat the oldest and most useless of
the dogs, for it would never do to have
a dance without a meal of roast dog
afterward. The Stonics never do this,
but tlio Orees, the Sioux, and some
other tribes do."

" Railroad engineers, aa a rule, ere a
superstitious claee of persona,'' a.id an
old railroad man. “Ibey have foolish
fancies and attach importance to signa
and warnings; hut I know of instances
where hundreds of lives have been saved
by engineers’ fancies and superstitions.
For over thirty yesrs I have been a rail
road conductor, and during that time I
have seen and heard many things that
under ordinary circumstances 1 would
have discredited. One of the best en
gineers that ever ran on the Weit Shore
Railroad was a man named Bronson.
One morning, just before starting time,
while he sat chatting with the fireman,
the engine bell suddenly rang out three
times. Aa neither the engineer nor fire
man had touched the bell, and as no
other person w aa on or around the engine,
the men felt troubled over the strange
circumstance. They regarded it as an
ill omen and troth men were filled with
dread, 'ihe (rain started on its journey,
und mile after mile was quickly traveled,
the engineer meanwhile keeping an
anxious lookout for danger. When
within about an eighth of a mile of a
rocky cut, the bell again, apparently of
its own accord, sounded three ominous
notes, clear and distinct, 'ihe engineer
beside himself with terror, exclaimed:
‘My God, Bill I It’s a warning cf some
great danger, and I believe it’s our duty
to stop. I’m poing to shut her down if
I lose my place by it.’ The engine came
to a sudden standstill, and within ten
feet of the engine, lying across the track
w as a great rock several tons in weight,
which had become loosened by a recent
storm, and broken away from the great
mass above. A terrible calamity was
averted and hundreds of lives saved.
“ And now I’ll tell you of another in
stance,” continued the same speaker, ‘‘of
how an engineer lost his life by not heed
ing a voice of warning. One of the most
careful and trusted engineers on our road
was James Welch. One morning his wife
noticed that he was not in his usual
cheerful frame of mind, and questioned
him shout it. He told her that ho was
not ill, but he said be had a premonition
that he would bo killed during the day.
Hia wife, being a sensib’e woman, did
not sneer or lnugb at his fears, begged
him to stay at home that day. Welch,
who was a disbeliever in signs and
omens, laughed at his fancies and went
to hia death. Two hours later the en
gineer was lying, crushed to death, at
the bottom of a deep ravine.”
“ Yes, I know such things to be true,”
•aid another man. “Silly as it may
seem, I wouldn't run a train after see
ing a white rabbit cross tho track, with
out first stopping to investigate, If I
were to bo made president of the toad.
I remember one dark night we were
scooting across country at a pretty lively
rate, w hen all of a sudden, I saw a white
rabbit dart across tho track just iu front
of the engine. The wee thing gave mo
such a look in that brief second that
aomething compelled me to stop the
train, tho conductor and train men
came rushing up to the engine to find
out the cause of our sudden halt, and it
didn’t take long to find out cither. Only
a few feet ahead on the track were some
heavy logs.. They had most likely been
placed there nnd tied down by tramps,
who in the confusion of a frightful ac
cident, such as would have taken place
if I hadn't stopped the train, would
hnvo robbed and pltmdero 1 tho dead
and dying passengers.”
Making a Mandarin t> Order.
John Jacob Astoi was determined to
send a ship to China in spite of the em
bargo of 1807-9. The astonishment of
the ship owners of New Y’ork, whose
vessels were lying idle in the docks,
may bo imagined when they read in the
Commercial Advert er of August 18,
1808, this piece of shipping news:
“Yesterday the ship I eaver, Captain
Galloway, sailed for China.”
Everybody knew that the ship Beaver
was owned by John Jacob Astor. Tho
other merchants of the city were natu
rally indignant when they heard that
Mr. Astor had been so highly favored.
At last it was discovered that he had a
“special permission from the President
of tno United States for his ship Beaver,
navigated by thirty seamen, ostensibly
to carry homo to Canton a great Chi
nese mandarin.” It was said that
Astor had fricked up a Chinaman in
tho park, dressed him to fit the man
darin story, secured the presidential per
mit, and despatched his -hip before tho
story got ab oad. A rival morchaat
wrote to President Jefferson, informing
him that the Chinese mandarin was
no mandarin at all, but only a com
mon Chinese dock loafer Tho writer
further suggested that, if the govern
ment bad given the permit under a mis
understanding, the error should be cor
rected, and the honor of the adminis
tration vindicated by punishing tho
offender Mr. Astor’s friends called up
on him th t eight and congratulated him
upon the success of l.is enterprise, and
they had a hearty laugh over the affair.
He could well afford to laugh at the
result of his brilliant coup, lor the
Beaver made so successful a voyage
that she returned to New York the fol
lowing year with $2,000,000 more than
she carried away.— Botton Commercial

A LEGAL QUESTION.
LteMlttr far Looses mf E>eo* tf Baca.
Not only is the owner of a dog liable
for its seta, but eay one who harbors it
or allows it upon his premises ia also
liable. But a person ia not resp onsible
for the acts of a dog which he tries to
drive away from hit premises, or for
those .of a dog allowed to remain tem
porarily there, as in the case of one who
keeps boarders and allows them to keep
a dog on the premises; but in that case
the owner of the dog ia liable. The laws
with regard to liability for injury aone
by dogs to sheep vary considers ly in
the different states. In Vermont, New
York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Ohio,
California, Tennessee, Alabama, Minne
sota, Oregon, Illinois, New Jersey and
Mississippi the statutes expressly pro
vide that anj person may kill a dog
found worrying or injuring sheep. In
Michigan any person may without rend
ering himself liable to civil or criminal
action, kill a dog he may see chasing,
worrying, wounding, or killing sheep,
sine, cattle, or any other domestic an
imal. In Maryland the owner of a dog
is exempted from liability for sheep
killed, if he kills the dog immediately
on receiving notice of injury, but if he
fail* to do so, the owner of the sheep
may kill the dog and recover double
damages. In New Hampshire and Mas
sachusetts the owner of any domestic
animal, and in Wisconsin the owner of
any sheep or lambs, may recover from
tho town for any injury inflicted by a
dog. If he chooses, the owner of the
injured animal may sue the owner of the
dog, instead of claiming damages from
the town; but if he prefers to prove his
loss to the town supervisors, and accepts
an order on the town treasurer for the
amount, the claim ia transferred to the
town, which may recover against the
owner of the dog; but the owner of
the sheep cannot thereafter recover
against him. In Rhode Island the first
time a dog v orries a sheep the owner
can recover damages from the person who
harbors or owns the dog. If after the
first notice the dog is still allowed to
live, and injures sheop again, his owner
is liable for double damages, and the
court may order the animal killed. In
Alabama, Ca ifornia, Vermont, and Wig.
consin double damages can also be re
covered. In Connecticut whoever has
lost by dogs worrying or killing his
sheep must give notice to the town
selectmen, and these may sue tho owner
or harborer of tne offending dog, and
unless the sheep owner is reimbursed by
the suit, the town becomes liable for the
damages. To provide a fund to meet
this liability, dogs are licensed, and tho
license fees are held to meet such
claims.
When several dog* belonging to dif
ferent owners unite in committing mis
chief, at common law, each owner is
liable only for the acts of his own ani
mal. ’1 here would naturally bs consid
erable difficulty in ascertaining the ex
tent of the injury done by each dog, but
the jury can adopt any reasonable rule
for ascertaining tne damages. If the an
imals are of unequal size, and have dif
ferent capacities foi; mischief tho jury
may tako into consideration tho damage
done by each in approximating the lia
bilities of the owners. By statute how
ever, in Connecticut, Vermont and Ohio,
the soveral owners of dogs that unite in
mischief, are jointly liable therefor;
while in Pennsylvania, each owner is li
able for tho whole injury in the doing of
which his dog was jointly engaged.—

A Merited Rebuke.
A gentleman prominent in legal circles
in Boston was recently riding in a train,
nnd in the seat before him was a young
and gayly dressod damsel. The car was
pretty full, and presently an elderly
woman entered, and, finding no seut va
cant but the one l.cside the young wo
man mentioned, sat down beside her.
She was a decently dreised woman, but
apparently of humble station, nnd she
carried several clumsy bundles, which
■were evidently n serious annoyance to
her scatmnte. The young woman made
no effort to conceal her vexation, but in
the most conspicuous manner showed the
passengers around her that she consider
ed it an impertinent intrusion for tho
new-comer to presume to sit down beside
her. In a few moments the old woman,
depositing her pnekages upon the scat,
went across the cur to speak to an ac
quaintance she discovered on the oppo
site side of the aisle. The lawyer leaned
forward to the offended young lady and
courteously asked if the would change
scats with him. A smile of gratified
vauity showed how pleased she was to
have attracted the notice of so distin
guished-looking a gentleman. “Oh,
tHfcnk you ever so much!” she said,
effusively. “I should like to, but it
would be os bad for you as for me to sit
beside such an old woman." “I beg
your pardon,” he responded, with un
dimimslied deference of manner; “it
was not your comfort I was thinking of,
but the old lady’s.”— Bo ton Becord.

To m Readers or tmis Pare
In common with many puMistars nnd
editor*, wo hi vs toon accustomed to look
apoo certain statements which wo have non
ia oar columns ns merely adroit advertising.
Consequently wo feel justified in taking
the liberty of [minting n few points from n
private letter ro ently received from one of
our largest patrons, as a sort of confession
of faith to our readers Wo quote:
“We have convinced ourselves that by tell
ing what we know to be true, we have pro
duced at last a permanent conviction in the
public min i. Seven years ago we stated
what the national di-ease ol this country was,
and that it was rapidly increasing. Three
years ago we stated that a marked check had
beqn given it
"Tue statistics of one of the largest life In
surance companies of this country shows that
in 1*43 and 1*44, the mortality from kidney
disorders did not increase over the previous
fears; other companies stated the same thing,
t is not presumptuous tor us to claim credit
for checking these ravages.
“Seven years ago we state 1 that the condi
tion of the kidneys was the key to the condi
tion of health; within the past five years all
careful life insurance companies have con
coded the truth of this statement, for, where
as, ten years ago, chemical analysis to deter
mine the condition of the kidneys was not
required, to-day millions of dollars in risks
are refused, because chemical examination
discovers unsuspected diseases of the kid
neys.
“Seven years ago we stated that the rav
ages of Bright’s Disease were insignificant
compared with other unsuspected disorder*
of the kidneys of many misleading names;
that ninety-three per cent, of human ail
ments are attributable to deranged kidneys,
which fills the blood with uric acid, or kid
ney poison, which causes these many fatal
diseases.
.. “The uric acid, or kidney poison, is the real
cause of the majority of case3 of paralysis,
apoplexy, hea: t disease, convulsions, pneumo
nia, consumption, an 1 insanity; over half
the victims of consumption are first the vic
tims of diseased kidneys.
"When the recent death of an honored ex
official of the United states soj announced,
Lis physician said that although ho was suf
fering from Bright’s Disease, that was not
the cause of death. He was not flank enough
to admit that th 6 apoplexy which overtook
him in his bed, was the fatal effect of the
kidney poison of the blood, which had eaten
away the substance of the arteries and
brain; nor was Logan’s physician honest
enough to state that his fatal rheumatism
was caused by kiduey acid in the blood.
“If the doctors would state in official re
ports the origin'll cause of death, tho people
of this country would be alarmed, yea,
nearly panic stricken, at the fearful mortal
ity from kidney disorders.”
The writers of the above letter give these
facts to the public simply to justify the
claims that they have made, that “if the
kidneys and liver are kept in a healthy con
dition by the use of Warners safe cure,
which hundreds of thousands have proved to
be a specific, wheu all other remedies failed,
and that has receive 1 the endorsement of the
highest medical talent in Europe,Australasia
and America, many a lifo would be pro
longed aud the happiness of the people pre
served. It is successful with so many differ
ent diseases because It and it alone, can re
move tho uric acid from the blood through
the kidneys.”
Our readers are familiar with the prepara
tion named.
Commendation thereof has often appeared
In our columns.
We believe it to be one of the best, if not
the best ever manufactured. We know the
proprietors are men of character and influ
ence.
We are certain they have awakened a
wide spread intere-t in the public mind con
cerning the importance of the kidueys. We
believe with them that they are the key to
health, aud that for their restoration from
disease and maintenauce in health, there is
nothing equal to this great remedy.
The proprietors say they "do not glory in
this un versal prevalence of disease, but hav
ing started out with tho purpose of spreading
the merits of Warner's safe cure before the
world, because it cured our senior proprie
tor, who xvas given up by doctors as incura
ble, wa feel it our duty to state tho facts and
leave the public to its own inferences. Wo
point to our claims, and to the r public and
universal verification with pride, and if the
public doo3 not believe what we say, wj tell
them to ask their friends and neighbors
what they think about our preparations”
As stated above, we most cordially com
mend tho perusal of this correspondence by
our readers, believing that in so doing we
are fulfilling a simple public obligation.

tbia story: —A well-known manufactu-er
of this city—it isn’t necessary to give bis
name-finds it necessary to employ a
double team to do hia hauling. For
•event years he kept two horse*. en>l
while they did their work well be sud
denly concluded to dispoee of them and
buy a pair of muter instead. He save
that alter the horses had done their
day’s or week’s work he was continually
annoyed by some of his friends or em
ployees asking for the use of the h rses
to take pleasure drives. Not caring to
offend them he frequently acceeded to
their requests, while all the time his better
judgment told him that it was rough on
the horses, which by their honest work
were entitled to tbeir just rest. This
thing went on for awhile and our frieud
waa pondering by day and by night how
he could-bring about a rhange. It oc
curred to him one day that mules were
not very popular for pleasure driving
purposes, but that they answered every
other purpose of horses—in fact were in
several respects preferable for his own
use. So he concluded to sell bis horses
and get a mule team. His plan worked
admirably, and the other day he info med
us that since he got the mules he hasn t
been asked once for their use by hii
friends or employes.
Seaaethlaa that will Interest the Afflicted.
(From the Weekly Record, Dundee , If, Y,)
There are many people in this country who
are suffering untold agony from ths ravages
of diseases, who have been medicated until
the very sound of the word "medicine” sends
a thrill of horror through their sensitive
organism, and yet they are still looking—
looking for something that will prove a bene
fit to their shattered constitution and restore
to them their health. To this class of sufferers
the Record, without solicitation, desires to
say a few words, not with the intent to ad
vertise a man who to-day is doing more tor
this class of sufferers than non can descrilio,
but because we know, not only from personal
experience, but from the experience of
others, that what we are -about to
say in regard to Dr. Kilmer, of Bingham
ton, N. Y., and his Herbal Remedies are
facts, and it is a pleasure to let the sufferer
know that, there is a Medicine that has done,
and is still doing so much lasting benefit to
the afflicted. Dr, Kilmer has been repre
sented in the advertising columns of the
Record for over two years, and during that
period we have received many communica
tions asking if his Remedies were as repre
sented, and have always felt that we could
safely recommend them. Dr. Kilmer is one
of the best-read Physicians of the present
day. He probably has the largest practice
and examines and treats personally more pa
tients at his large and fully equipped oilice
in Binghamton yearly, than any other phy
sician in the country.
These Herbal Remedies which he sends out
are preparod and prescribed by him in h's
own private practice. Their component parts
are carefully selected from Nature’s great
lab< ratory, and are compounded in a scien
tific manner so as to be especially adapted to
the different forms of diseases for which they
are used. They are the result of years of
hard, patient study of the science of medi
cine.
There seems to be at the present time a ten
dency toward a great many Kidney, Liver
aud Bladder troubles with the people ot this
country, and we wish to spt ak more particu
larly about Dr. Kilmer’s Sivamp-Root Kid
ney, Diver and Bladder Cure. We will say
ou the outset, we are not writing sensational
“gush” for Dr. Kilmer, but knowing person
ally as we do, of many important cures
wrought from th? use of this medicine, we
believe it to be our duty to the aitiicted to en
courage them to avail themselves of the use
of this valuable Remedy.
We know a Mr. Chas. E. Roe, of Union
ville, Steuben Cos., N. Y. who had Bright’s
disease, and was ti!d by the best Physicians
of Hornellsville, N. Y., that there was no
hope for him, who was prevailed upon by
a friend to try Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
Kidney Cure. Hij did so, without tho least
idea of being bmeflted, but the result was
most gratifying to qimself and fa :.i!y, for
he was cured. Saved from death bv that
dreadful disease. Another case, that of
Russell Sandford, of Wayne, Steuben Cos.,
who had a terrible bowel difficulty which
would not yield to the medical skill of good
doctors, who, at our own solicitation, tried
Swamp-Root, and he told us after using sev
eral bottles hi3 trouble was removed, al
though he had no control over his bowels for
a year previous to using the medicine and
had been told that ho wt u’d never be any
better, and that his earthly career was
limited. Our druggists here in Dundee
tell us they have sold hundreds of bottles
of this medicine and in no instance
have they ever heard aught hut praise
from the persons using it. We might men
tion scon s of similar cases that, to our own
personal knowledge, have heeu lulped out of
serious trouble by using Swamp-Root. We
hope it will help someone, and we L ave no
fears of the result of a trial, by any cue who
is Buffering with a Kidney, Liver or Blad
der trouble. “It is worth its weight in gold.”
