H Tried ui #•
About *wcn*y years ago I discovered a little sore on my cheek, and the doctors pro
nounced it cancer. I have tried a number of physicians, out without receiving any perma
nent benefit. Among the number were one or two specialists. The medicine tney applied
was like fire to tne sore, causing intense pain. I saw a statement in the papers telling what
s. S. S. had done for others similarly afflicted. I procured some at once. Before f had used
the second bottle the neigiibors could notice that my cancer was healing up. My general
health had been had for two or tnree years-1 liaci a hacking cougn ana spit mood contin
ually. 1 l,ud a severe pain m my breast. After taking six bottles of P. S. S. my cough le. t
me pud I grew stouter than I had been for several years. My cancer lias healed over al but
a little spot about the size of a half dime, and it is rapidly disappearing. I would advise
every one with cancer to give S. 8. S. a fair trial.

BUZZARD DEN.
A West Virginia CKvem AVhich Harbors a
Fierce, Sheep-Eating Serpent.
[Milton W. Va ) Special.]
There is a place on Big Two Miie creek,
about three and a half miles east of this
place, known as the “Buzzard Den.” It
is a large caye in the point of a ridge
which. extends down between two
branches to the rock gorge which incases
the creek tor nearly its whole length.
This cave is entered by a small doorway,
which extends down an inclined plane
for about twenty feet, there opening into
a large, rugged room, which has not been
explored. A few days ago as Melsear
Braley, a young man of about twenty
years, was passing that place en route to
his brother’s, about a mile below cu the
creek, lie heard a sheep bleating piteously
as it in great distress. Upon going nearer
he found the bleating proceeded from the
mouth of the cavern. He approached
nearer the p’ace, when, upon suddenly
turning the corner of a huge boulder, he
beheld a sight which sent his blood in an
arctic flood up his back and standing his
hair on end. He beheld the head of a
huge serpent protruding trom the en
trance of the cavern with the hind quar
ters of a sheep in his mouth, swallowing
it gradually, while the sheen was emitting
its mournful sound. Braley, being a
brave young lad, thought to relieve the
sheep, so hurrying up the hill above the
cavern he rolled a huge boulder down
upon the monster. This maddened him
to such an extent that he let the sheep go
with a terrific snort, which could be
heard a half mile, and rushed from the
cave like a huge tree. It was about forty
feet long, with large black and yellow
stripes running lengthwise of its body.
The head and neck were black and sleek,
and the tail for several feet from the end
was of a dull brown color. The sudden
appearance of the monster so frightened
the lad that he rushed home at a 2:40 gait,
where he soon arrived out of breath, and
told his experience, whereupon his father,
elder brother and brother-in-law, together
with two or three neighbors who had
been summoned, armed with all the fire
arms that could be had, started for the
cavern prepared to make an invasion o{
the enemy’s country.
Upon arriving at the place nothing
could be seen of the snake or the sheep,
but upon approaching the mouth of the
cavern a sickening stench met them, such
as that coming from a maddened snake,
and its fierce blowings and hissings could
be heard. They could do nothing with
him, so had to return to their homes. A
search will be organized to hunt up the
monster. No one knows where he came
from, a3 this is hi3 first appearance. The
country for several mila3 around is heavi
ly wooded, and he may have been around
for some time. It is to be hoped he will
soon be killed.
A DAKOTA METEOR.
Bismarck, Dak, —A phenomenon is re
ported from Coni Harbor, 50 miles north.
During the coldest hour, several days ago,
the heavens seemed aglow with the most
brilliant tire, and about 4 o’clock in the
afternoon an immense blaze of lire shot
down through the frosty atmosphere, its
passage being accompanied by a loud
hissing noise. As the flame descended a
breath of warm air passed over the vicin
ity, and the strange visitor fell on the op
posite side of the river. Its contract with
the earth was accompanied by an explo
sion which sounded iike a cannon. The
examination of the spot where it seemed
to fall was made soon after, and the only
evidences of an explosion were the shut
tered ice and a bare depression in the
earth. No one can account for the phe
nomena, but it is believed to have been a
meteoric fragment. Its dirrection was
from northeast to southwest.

A WOMAN'S IIEDKFSS.
New Orleans. —A few days ago a
young woman entered the grocery store of
A. Levi, in this city, walked up to
the desk of John Lehman, book-keeper,
and said she wanted to speak with lain.
As Lehman walked toward her, the wo
man took a pistol from her satchel and
opened fire, the first shot taking effect in
his cheek. Lehman turned and fled into
the street, the young woman pursuing
him and firing three more shots, one ball
taking effect in his shoulder. She then
replaced the smoking pistol in the satchel
and walked off as quietly as she had
come. It i9 stated that the young women,
Anna Suprecht, had been seduced by Leh
man under promise of marriage.
KEATING A WOMAN JUfjTIFI VIBLY-
Memrhis, Tenn. —About three weeks
ago a young daughter of Cupt. Vvm.
Hodge disaopeard from her home in this
city; up to a few days ago no trace of her
could be found. Finally her father traced
her to Vicksburg, whether he went, and
found his daughter in a bagnio. The
girl was willing to go with him, but the
siren, who had lured her away, tried to
prevent her, wherepon the indignant
father gave her a terrible beating. He
then took the thoroughly repentant
and vughter home.
“Mary I wish you would be a hotter
little girl,” said a father to his little girl.
‘You have no idea liow sorry I tun that
mamma has to sc Id you so much.” “Ob.
don’t worry about it, papa,” was the
reply; “I m not one of those sensitive
children. Half the limp I don't hear
what sue says.”

A MIXED Fl* AFFAIR
In Aut.us‘,lß64,when Kilpatrick shuck
the Atlanta and Mcon railroad at Joue?
boro and other points, I was attached to
Armstrong’s brigade of Jackson’s divison
< f Confederate cavalry. The federal
rauh r struck Jonesboro late one after
noon, droye out the militia stationed there
in small numbers and applied the torch
to four-fifths of the town. Next morn
ing, as they came on up to Lovejoy*s
Station, our division, which had been
widely scattered the day before, were
massed and ready for a fight. Our infan
try had been fighting and falling back for
an hour, when he moved into the fight,
two-thirds of the command being dis
mounted. My own regiment was dis
mounted to support one of our battries,
and while lying in a ravine just behind
the guns were taken into flank by a
charge of the Fourth Michigan cavalry.
1 admit that we were badly rattled at
the outset, sonm of the men breaking for
the cover of a wood a few hundred yards
away, and being sabred as they ran. A
cavalryman rofie straight at me, with up
lifted sabre, and I hauled up my musket
to shoot him oft'his horse. At that time my
regiment was armed with rifles, shotgun?,
carbine-', revolvers, sabres and swords.
A few men had carbines and sabres to
gether; all others depended on one
weapon alone. Those who ha 1 muskets
did not have, except in we instances,
sabres; those who had sabres had neither
musketsgnor revolvers. \ Not over one
company in the was as well
equipped as the Federals. I had an infan
try musket, bayonet attached, and when
I sought to fire on the cavalryman at close
range the charge would not explode.
Then, as he rode me down, I defended
myself with the bayonet, wounding him
in the hand and flinging the sabre to the
ground. I had the advantage, and he saw
it, and gracefully surrendered and come
down off kis horse.
During this time there was fighting all
around us. A part of our men used the
ravine for a rifle pit, and could not be
dislodged, and the cavalry were galloping
hither and thither through the smoke.
I asked my prisoner what command he be
longed to, and he answered the Fourth
Michigan. Bullets were zipping about us
like angry bees, but I could not take him
to the rear for the reason that there was
no rear. Conl'ed and Yank were mixed
up like beans in a bag, as far as I could see.
I stood holding him by the arm wi!h one
hand and hanging to his horse with the
other, when two Yankee cavalrymen
came riding, up. My man appealed to
them, and as they raised their sabres at
me, I surrendered as a prisoner of war
“Watch your chance and run him into
our lines,” said one of the men to my
captor, and both rode off at the call of a
bugle.
The Yankee now had hie sabre and my
gun, and as his horse became restive, he
could give me but little attention. He
asked me what command I belonged to,
how the fight seemed to be going, and
rather depended upon my honesty hot to
runoff. He had just suggested moving
alone the ravine when a dismounted
Johny, who was dodging about in the
3tnoke, came upon us. He took in the
situation at a glance, and inside of a
minute Fourth Michigan was again my
prisoner. My friend took the sabre and
mounted the horse and rode away, while
I got my musket back.
‘•You’ll probably be recaptured again,”
I said to the blue coat as we walked side
by side up the ravine.
‘‘Very likely,” he replied, as he walked
on ahead and ducked every two seconds
for a bullet.
We bad proceeded not over a hundred
yards when a crowd of about twenty
cavalrymen, nearly evenly divided as to
friend and foe, came surging down upon
us as they cut and slashed. Wc were
both knocked down in a jiffy, and I got
a cut on the head from a horse’s foot
which left me unconscious for a quarter
of an hour.
When I rallied the fight was over, the
Fedcrals having flanked us and passed on.
As my captor and prisoner were not
found on the ground the conclusion was
that he had escaped to his own line. I
have always hoped so, for he seemed o
be a fairly good fellow.
