C. McLANE’S CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS, FOR THE CURE OF Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint, DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HBADACHI. Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. DA IN in the right side, under, the I edge of the ribs, increases on pres sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appe tite and sickness; the bowels in gen eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable loss of mem ory, accompanied with a painful sen sation of having left undone some thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa tion of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the liver to have been extensively deranged. AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Pills, in cases of Ague and Fever, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a fair trial. For all bilious derangements, and as a simple purgative, they are unequaled. BEWABE OF IMITATION*. The genuine are never sugar coated. Every box has a red wax seal on the ltd, with the impression Dr. McLanks Livka ?i The genuine McLane’s Liver Pills bear the signatures of C. McLane and Flemik* Bros, on the wrappers. Insist upon having the genuine McLawk’* Liver Pru.s, prepared by T teas ing Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the market bemg full of imitations of the name McLMne, spelled differently but same pronunciation.

Railroad SigT7 ads. Notwithstanding the fact that so many people travel about in the cars, few are acquainted with the whistles and signals which regulate the move ments of tjje trains. It sometimes hap pens it is very important to know them. The following is the signification of those most commonly used : One whistle—‘'Down brakes.” Two whistles—“ Off brakes ” Three whis tles-—“ Back up.” Continuous whis tling—“ Danger.” A rapid succession of short whistles is the cattle alarm, at which the brakes will always be put down. A lantern raised and , lowered verti cally is a signal for “starting’ ;swung at a right angle or crosowise the track, to “stop” ;swung in a circle, to “back the train.” A red flag waved over the track must be regarded as a signal of danger. So of other signals given with energy. A red flag or red light hoisted at a station, is a signal for train to “stop.” Stuck up by the roadside, is a signal of dan ger on the track ahead. Carried upon an engine, it means a train is on the track. David R. Reeves, a wandering sing ing master, formed a 'class in Pettis County, Mo., and fell in love with Amelia Yost, one rf his pupils. She spurned him, but he persisted in his wooing, even threatening to kill her if she did .lot accept his addresses. Still she was cold. A letter in his hand writing asked her to meet him at a cer tain stile one evening. Her father and three brothers believed that he intend ed to lure her to the lonely spot and murder her, so they armed themselves wi ll guns and hid near the stile. Pres ently a man appeared, looked around as though expecting somebody, and then stood leaning against a fence. One of the Yost boys fired on him, killing him instantly. He was not Reeves, howev er, but a neighbor and close friend of the Yosts, wearing Reeves’s hat and coat. Why he went there in that man ner and dress is not “explained. The Yost who did the shootinz is now on trial, but no solution of the mystery has been reached. The singing master has not since been seen ‘*''*' 4 ** t neivh borhood. A countryman drove into Xcnta, Ohio, the other day with some friends to meet a train. Arriving at the depot, a freight train was standing on the side track, and the countryman, not seeing any convenient place to tie up, deiiber a'ely hitched his horse to the rear ciy of the freight, and proceeded’ to prom enade the walks around the depot while waiting for his train. What was his surprise when he saw his hitching post pull out for Cincinnati, with his horse and wagon bringing up the rear in not the best of order. It would not be proper to record the remarks' of the young man on the subject. A moilier thus writes:. “Once a week invariably—and it was generally when we had cold minced—l gave the children a dinner which whs hailed with delight and looked forwatd to—this was a dish of boiled onions. The lit tle ones knew not that they were tak ing the ljest>of medicine for ’ expelling what uiMsi children suffer from—worms. Mine were kept free by this remedy alone. It was' a medicine man who taught me to eat boiled onions as a specific for a cold in the chest. He did not know at the time till I told him that the." w re good for anything else.’ Commenting on the lawlessness in Breathitt county, Kentucky, the Louis ville Courier Journal says : “One of the charges against Breathitt is that the tail of a parson’s horse is never safe there. While tbe good man is ex pounding the Gospel, his horse’s tail is shaved. The parson whose horse is not thus treated must needs hitch the faith ful brute near--the window, that the clerical eye may see what is going on outside as well as within the church.— This charge may lack truth, but it would be well if nothing worse had ev er carried the name of Breathitt to the furthermost parts of tbe State.” A widow who used to go forth every day with a watering pot and spriukle her husband’s grave, upon being high ly complimented for her devotion re plied, “I told Jimmy before he died that I wouldn’t marry again till the grass grew on his grave, and as grass is rather backward this season I thought I'd hurry it a little.” Says the Captain to Pat— "■ “Come, I’ll have none o’ that!” As’Paddy of whiskey was drinking " hi fill; With a satisfied sigh, As he finished the “rye,” Says Paddy—“Be jabers, I don’t think ye will.” TIIE MARYLAND GIRL SHOOTING CASE Arrest of Miss Duer—A Strange Case. The Coroner’s jury in the case of M iss Ella Hearu,of Pocoiuoke City, Md., who was shot with a pistol in the hands of Miss Lilian S. Duer, of the same place, rendered their verdict on Tues day night Miss Hearn died last Fri day afternoon, and Saturday Acting Coroner Jas. L. Nock summoned the Coroner's inquest. They adjourned over until Tuesday, when at 8 o’clock p. m. they returned a verdict that the deceased came to her death on the 6th of December, from nervous prostration, exci ed by a ball lodged in her left up per jaw bone, shot from a pistol in the hands of Miss Lilian A. Duer, on the sth of December, at the residence of her father, James L. Hearn, in Poco moke City, Worcester county, Md. On Monday evening last Miss Duer was ar rested, and awaiting her examination gave three thousand fiveliunired dol lars bail for her appearance at court. The Baltimore Bulletin gives the fol lowing particulars of the case: Mr. James L. Hearn, father of the deceas ed, states that his daughter, after the shooting, told him that on the occasion of the shooting she went to the door with her visitor, where Miss Duer charged her with loving Miss Ella Fos ter better than she did her (Miss Duer) Miss Duer attempted tokissMiss Hearn, and in doing so fell, and then jumped to her feet in an excited ’manner and fired.- - Ella in this conversation told her father she did not expect to recover, and therefore wished the circumstances to be known. Mr."Hearn states of his own knowledge that his daughter tried in vain to repress Miss Duer’s visits, who”frequentlyT)egged Miss Ilearn to walk in the woods or remain in the par lor of his house, or some other room alone with her. Mr. Hearn also says that his daughter told him that once in the woods Miss'Duer fired a pistol, which she said was to frighten her com panion, and induce her to return to hen as she was running on before. Mis 7 Duer, however, denies this. Just be fore the shooting In? says pli:-— |i > r ,er Lau tried to induce his dauglitc* alk with her in the woods. Miss Learn was nearly eighteen years of age, edu cated at Laurel, Del., where her father was born. She was rather’stout, hav ing large brown eyes and black hair. Miss Duer is of slender, graceful fig ure, large, brilliant, black eyes and dark brown hair, and is represented to be very beautiful. She is about 17 years of age, and fond of hooks, espe cially of Byron, and it is said she has been studying medicine for about six months. She declared that the shoot ing was purely accidental, and says: “1 called to see Ella for the purpose of taking a walk. She did not wish to go. I begged her. She refused. I tried to kiss her. I had the pistol in my hand after giving up the attempt 1 1 kiss her, and was looking at the car tridges, counting them, when the pis tol accidentally went off. lam not a murderess. I visited her. twice during her illness. The first tint" she heard my voice and called me; I went into the room aad she received me by put ting her arms around my neck. She then said,'‘Lil, what’s the matter with me V i told her that she was hurt. ‘Who hurt me V’ She asked. ‘I, El la,’ I replied, it was I who did it. Then you did not do it purposely, did you V The next time I called she was deliri ous.” Mi%s Duer then denied the state ment that she (Miss Dner) had left Po comoke City for Baltimore in male at tire. Only one of the big trees of Califor nia has been fe led by the hand of man To accomplish this it required the work of five men for twenty two days, not chopping, but with long augurs, boring it down. After the tree was complete ly severed, the veteran stood still un moved and refused to fall, until by ropes, pulleys and wedges, the enormous trunk was brought to the earth. This tree was found to be over 800 feet long, ninety-six foet in oircumference at the base and sound to the very heart.

One of them, Thomas Butler, of Camden county, is a Baptist preacher. His seat was contested by a respectable white Democrat, and cn ve -y plausa ble grounds ; yet the House, composed of one hundred and seventy Democrats and five Republicans, gave it to Butler by a large vote. He isof slave parentage, but is intelligent and worthy, deports himself with great decorum, and is highly respected. The other colored member is Amos R. Rogers, of Mclntosh county. lie has had some advantages of education, and is fairly intelligent. We can say of both the colored members, that they quietly attend to their own business, and carefully let other peoples’ alone ; and this, we think, is high praise.— Christian Index. • te Don’t Learn a Trade.
