Are Cats Dangerous The Albany
Aryus is authorty for tho following state
ment. 'The good citizens of Schenectady have
been alarmed greatly by a singular affair
which took place there a few days ago. As
a cat story it is ahead of anything of the
kind we have heard. Tho father of a fam
ily just before retiring late at night heard
groanes in the room occupied by his daugh
ter, a girl twelve years of ago. Upon go
ing to the room he found a cat on tbe
breast of his child, with its fore legs around
the child's neck aud its mouth to tho child's
mouth. It wag with some difficulty that
tho cat was removed. Tho child had ev
idently been asleep, and when found was
eo much exhausted by her breath having
been obstructed that she had not strength
enough to force tho cat away. We have
heard of cats causing the death of iufants
in this way, but . never before heard of
such an incident in connection with' a
girl tweho years of age. The facts were re
ported by her father himself. The girl
baa lioce been troubled in breathing.
Choked to Death in Fun.
From the Hmover, l'a.. Bpeotator,
A distressing case of homicide oceuted in
the neighboring village of New Oxford on
Monday afturdoon last, whioh created the
most intense excitement iu that usually quiet
little place. The particulars of the affair as
we learned them, are substantially as follows:
On the afternoon above mentioned, a man
named John Bond, residing in the, uoigbor
hood, vUited town and became somewhat in
toxicated. The constable of Oxford township, a man
named Bolten, who was standing on the
pavement near Zonck's " store near the
Square, and who was himself somewhat in
toxicated, remarked to the bystanders that
he would have a little fun, approached Bond,
aud taking hold of him by the coat-collar,
jestingly remarked that he was going to ar
rest him.
Bond making some resistance, the Con
stable grasped him by the throat, and drag
ged him along with him up the street, fol
lowed by a crowd as is usuil in such cases.
Upon proceeding a short distance the spec
tators observed tha,t his g'ip was telling
with fearful effect upon the poor man, and
that if he was not speedily released ho would
be choked to death, and demanded that he
be set free. The officer, inflamed by drink
and excitement refused, when the bystand
ers grabbed hold of him and a severe strug
gle took place, which resulted in his being
compelled to release his victim.
' To the great horror of all present during
the scene, it was discovered that poor Bond
who had fallen to the ground during the
scuffile, was in a dying condition, having
evidently been choked to death. Physicians
were summoned, aul notwithstanding every
effort was made to restDrc him, by bleeding,
etc., all proved futile and be exqired in a
few minutes, and instead of a farce being
enacted a terrible tragedy resulted.
The tragic affair created an intense excite
mcntthrotighout the townand neighborhood,
Bolten was immediately arrested and con
veyed to the Gettysburg jail. A Coroner's
inquest was held over the corpse of the un
fortunate man, and the jury rendered a ver
dict in accordance with the above facts.
Bond was aged about 55 years, and was
harmless and inoffensive man.
Every Saturday for September 10 is
one of the handsomest Illustrated Papers
ever issued. It coutains Europoan War
Pictures. the Baden Prisoners taken at
Niederbronn ; French Soldiers bathing at
Naney ; A Prussian Outpost ; Saarbruek ;
and Some Recruits for the South German
Army. It has besides, fine portraits of Mad-
imoiselle Sessi and Geo. W. Childs of the
Philadelphia Ledger; a beautiful art pic
ture, Morning in the Desert ; and three ad
mirable summer pictures, A Picnic iu the
Woods, by A. Iloppin ; Summer Days, by
W. J. Ilennessy; and On tho Beach at
Long Branch, by C. G. Bush.
Its Literary contents comprise able and
very intesesting Editorials on Tho Balance
of Power, An Empire's Bull Hun, On the
Uncertainty of Things, Desirable Calamity,
etc. It has a full summary of Home and
Foreign News, two additional chapters of
The Mystery of Edwin Drood,' a sketch of
Geo. W. Childs by James Parton, and other
fresh and readable articles. Altogethe, it is
a remarkable number of this first-class fam
ily Illustrated Weekly.
We speak from experience when we say
that of all little domestic clouds that arise,
we dread tbe one that appears when tired
and hungry we leave our daily toil and
wind our way home expecting smiles, hot
tea, hot rolls, &c., cf-e., but instead get salu
ted with "no fire in the stove! no kindling
wood ! the poor darling baby crying with
the cold ! And all your fault.' Why don't
you get a Spear's Revolving light ? It will
keep a fire all winter without removeing
the fire, and it takes only half the coal that
this old fashioned one docs, and besides
it burns chestnut size which costs one dol
lor per ton less than any other."
We give it up. We are going to Ser
vices' and get one just to see if the horzen
will not be clearer, aud we advise our friends
to go aud do likewise.
Sneak. Thieves Scarcely a night pas
ses of late but somebody's house, celler, or
garden ia entered by thieves, and provisions,
etc, carried off. The last case that we havo
heard of, is the stealing of potatoes in the
ground, from the lot of Miles W.Tate, Esq.,
pf this place, and on the same nigh per
haps by the eame party all the onions
were stolen from the garden of Mr. Daniel
Black, It would be well for our citizens to
be on the alert, and if they can, put a bul
let or two, or a pint of shot into some of
there miscreants; it may have the effect to
deter others from prowling around their
neighbor's houses at unseasonable hours.
We do hope that they may be brought to
justice, and tho full penalty of the law ad
ministered to them. Forest JliwMiean.

A Warning. A jounp; lady died sud
denly in Ilarrisburg several days ago. A
post mortem examination revealed tho fact
that some small insects found in her jute
chignon had bored through the scull and
penetrated the brain, producing instant
death. Ex.
Those 'insects' havn't got up into this
country, though they might reap a rich
harvest were they they to emigrate. They
might - dye of old age before they bored
through some of the chignons about here.
McKean Miner.
When we were ichobt children
there was a little 'insect' that bored and
scratched our heads, Taut never killed any of
us, but probably would if we had worn
chignons. We layer! them out with, blue
ointment. . , ,
People as they read the la tost news from
Europe have little idea of the expense in
currcd in procuring it. As an instance wo
the following from the Tribune : 'Our sin
glo dispatch concerning the battle of Grav.
elotte cost us (notwithstanding the great re.
ductions in cable tolls) two thousand two
hundred aud eighty dollars in gold for the
mere transmission from London to New
York. There were, besides, the cost of a
special courier from the battle-field through
Alsace, Rhenish Prussia, Belgium, and
thence London, and the pay ot the corres
pondent himself, together with tho pay of a
body of no less than five assistants in that
army alone.'
Touching. An editor, who was evident
ly insaue, or had a strong and vivid imag
ination, recently got off the following appro
priate item, if true :
I had a dream the othor night
When eveiything was still.
I dreamed that each subscriber
Came up and paid his bjil.
Each wore a look of honesty,
And smiles were round each eye,
As they hunded out the stamps
Saying, "How is that for high ?"

TO TIIK
NERVOUS and DEBILITATED,
WHOSE SUFFERING HAVE BEEN PRO
TRACTED FROM HIDDEN CAUSES,
AND WHOSE CASES REQUIRE
VnOMPT TJlEATJTIEjrT
TO RENDER EXISTENCE DESIRABLE.
If you are suffering or have suffered,
Irom involuntary discn&rges, what efiect
does it produce upon your general
health ? Do you feci weak, debilitated, ea.
uly tired t Docs a little extra exertion
produce palpation of the heart ? Does your
liver, or urinary organs, or your kidneys,
frequently get out ot order ; Is your urine
sometimes thick, milky or flocky, or is it
ropy on settling ? Or does n thick skum
rise to tho top? , Or is a sediment at the
bottom after it has stood awhile ? Do you
have spells of short breathing or dyspepsia?
Are your bowels constipated ? Do you have
spells of fainting, or rushes of blood to the
head ? Is your memory impaired ? Is
your mind constantly dwelling on the sub.
ject ? Do you feel dull, listless, moping
tired of company, of life ? Do you wish to
bo left ulono, to get away from everybody?
Does any little thing make you start or
jump ? Is your sleep broken or restless '(
Is the Iustro ot your eve as brilliant? I he
bloom of your cheek as bright ? Do you
enjoy yourself in society as well 1 Do you
pursue your business with the same ener
gy ? Do you leel as much conhdence in
yourself? Are your spirits dull and flag
ging, given to fits of melencholy ? If so, do
not lay it to your liver or dispepsia. Have
you restless nights ? Your back weak, and
have but littlo appetite, and you attribute
this to dyspepsia or liver-complaint?
Now, reader, self-abuse, vencral disease
badly cured, and sexual excesses, are all ca
pable of producing a weakness of the gene
rative organs. The organs of the genera
tion, when in perfect health, make the man.
Did you ever think that thote bold, defi
ant, energetic, persevering business-men
are arways thoe whose generative organs
are in perfect health ? You uever hear
such men complain of being melencholy,
of nervousness, of palpatution of the heart.
They arc never afraid they cannot succeed
in business ; they don't become sad and dis
couraged ; they are always polite and pleas
ant in company of ladies, and look you and
hem right in the face none of your down
cast looks or any other meanness about
them. I do not mean those who keep the
orgrns inflated by running to excess. These
will not only ruin their constitutions, but
also those they do business with or for.
How maney men, from badly cured diseases,
from the e fleet s of self'abuse and excesses,
have brought about that state of weakness in
those organs that has reduced the general Bys
tern so much as to induce almost every other
disease idiocy, paralysis, spinal affections,
Biiicide. and almost every other form of dis.
ease which humanity is heir to and the real
cause of the trouble scaruely ever suspected,
