'' i ■ Mi >■> ii~ II irTT-r^ 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. Mbs. NANCY J JIcCONAUGHEY, Ashe Grove, Tippecanoe Cos., Ind. Feb. 10, 18S0.

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. —stair- ——- 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.” Flirting with the cook is said lolen good receipt to make a wife look ly after the kitchen. i 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. The West h said to be a great gra n country, but it ownot raise its ova bread without the assistance of the yeast.
