JL correspondent of Ziegler's Herald
gays: On the morning of August 2lst
one of our estimable neighbors, Mr.
i James Aiken, and two of his cmpanions
t were surveying a new road through a por
lion of oar hiily »nd mountainous conn,
ly, nevertheless noted for Its romantic
and picturesque sceuery, by the name of
Slipper) rock. They anived at a chasm
which heretofore seemed almost impossi
ble for human skill to span so that it
wonUV answer the purpose of a highway,
\ although there was a foot-path, or
rather a foot-log across it, with railing on
each side to prevent accident. The width
: of the chasm was SO feet, and standing
- on the log you could took down 150 feet,
the sides being covered with rocks and
stumps of pine trees scattered here and
there and occasionally a large rock jut
ting out from the side. The footh path
had not been in use for a number of
years and our friend with that adventur
ous spirit peculiar to the inhabitants of
Butler county, proposed an examination
of the bridge or foot-path to see how
much, of it was solid and fit for further
use. Mr. Aiken walked out on the log
about 30. feet, when a cry from one of his
companions startled him. Oo looking
around be saw a sight that froze his blood
and made "each particular hair stand on
end.” The end of the narrow bridge
from which be started, bad parted from
its fastenings and was swinging in mid
air. The other end of the path had |
crumbledaway. Fully realizing the peril
of bis position be atttempted to return,
but at that Instant the timbers parte 1
with a crash and Wr. Aiken with pres
ence of mind almost unequaled, sprang
into the ait attempting to alight fifteen
feet below on one of.the projecting rocks.
He accomplished it, but rebounding from
these be fell 40 feet further with nothing
to break the fall except a few pine
branches, and alighting on another rock.
From there he went crashing through the
limbs of a sapling endeavoring vainly
to clutch them in his descent. He still
fell from point to point until be reached
the bottorn Yully 135 feet from the bridge
above. He la) insensible and to ail ap
pe&rance dead. His horrified compan
ions hastily aroused the neighbors and by
means of ropes they descended the side
of the chasm. After resorting to the
usual restoratives be became sufficiently
restored to talk. They brought him to
the top and after a careful examination,
strange to say, not a b»>ne was broken or
a mark tound on him. At last accounts
lie was walking around aud still continues
to count one in the census.

Undeveloped Vigor.
The feeble and debilitated usually fancy they
are in a moie hopeless condition than they really
arc. The resources of nature are not easily ex
hausted. Even when strength mid appetite fail,
when the eyes are heavy and lustreless, the com
plexion palli!, the nerves tremulous, t»-c body at
tenuated, and the mind depressed, th.-re is sene',
ally a reserve of latent power behind such palpa
ble evidences of weakness. Various modes 0/
treatment arc resorted to by physicians in tuc
hope of developing and rendering available this
store of sleeping vitality, but the surest, and in
deed the only thoroughly safe snl reliable means
ol awakening the dormant energies of the sys tem
is acoursa if liostetter’s ftbaach Bitters. Elec,

from a derange m mt of the functions of the assimi
