The drug taken were two grains of mor phine and four grains of extract of bella donna. Drs. Smith. McDonald and Cotton were summoned as soon as the victim an nounced to the residents of the bouse whiit he had done. They worked with the patient for some tisue and finally ordered his re moval to the Homeopathic Hospita', where he continues to lirger in a very precarious condition. The citizens of Continence were horrified i this. Tuesday mornimr, on learning that or of the young men of the villa-e F. W. Seibert bad been found dead in his father's barn. He ha! been drinking freely with some companions until late Monday night, and when very much intox'Ka'.ed was carried to the barn, where he was left lying under a tattered roof, through which the heavy rain of the niht poured in torrents over his unconscious body. The exact hour and the imrnediaie cause of U's death are not known. His Cither ia both bi.nd and deaf, and the young man was tlu? principal support of the family. He bore a good rep utation among the people of OnA jence, and rarely drank to excess. The case will be investigated by the proper authorities.

A telegram from Harttsburg says: Hilt No. 10. which provides for the rejrulatlon of the manufacture and sale of liquors, wv before the Senate Tuesday morning. The debate was on the disposition of the license collected by cities, borough, and Kwnhips where liquor was sold, the city Seaators claiming that it should be paid La to the treasuries of said municipalities to help to defray the expense of tbepoiice force, and the Senators from the rural district! claim ing that the coanty expenses from said dis tricts were heavy from the liquor cases com ing r.p lor trial and part should be paid into the county treasuries. Senator Critch field, from the Somerset district, offered an amendment to that effect. This waa bis maidea speech ia the Senate.

Found Dead in On of His Fields On Saturday eveaing, Feb. 1 4. Mr. A. E. McClintock, one of Addison township's well knows citizens, was found dead ia a field on his farm, near Fort Hill. It seems that he bad left home. with the intention of going to Vrsina on business, walking across the farm a near way to Fort Hill station, where he intended to board the accommodation train for Crsina. when death came upon him where the path passes through a gate on his farm. When found iy some of his gramlchudren in the ever in; the dead body was sur rounded by his cows, who seemed to realize that something was wrong with their own er. S'iuire A. 8. Long and W. S. Kuhlman were summoned and a verdict of death from cerelial homoirtw was given. It seems that the deceased bad had two previous at tacks of the same. The deceased, tkmiliany tiown as "l ncle Andy" by his acquaintances, was a kind hearted, svmtiathetic ceigurjt r. He was a member of Crsina Lodge Xo. X I. O. O. F. and a comrade of Poet "d G. A. It. He served nine months as corpoid in Co. G 61st Penn'a.. and waa some two years ago granted a i-ension of id per mouth for wounds received in service.

He was a grandson of Herrain Husband, the first permanent settler of Som erset township, and a son of Isaac Husband, who was a prominent man in the county in his day. Mr. Huaband learned the printing trade in his early manhood, serving as apprentice and afterwards as journeyman in the office of the Herald ash Winn, one of his fellow- craftsmen at that time being the late Hon. Jacob M. Campbell, of Johnstown. Finding that printing was injurious to his hesith he returned to the Harm ami followed agriculture as a pursuit during the rest of his life, with the exception of five years, in which he was entaged in the mercantile business atBucks town. It was at this time that be began to collect material relating to the early history cf Somerset county. The resti!' nf his labors did not appear in print until ,ut le" rears later, when his annais of the ar! settle ment of the county was published in the Somerset N'.rn.ii-'f in 1??')-'71. but the work j was never carried to completion. In religion he was a member of the Chris tian church. In politics he was a staunch Republican, and though rather conservative in his way of thinking, he never lost his in terest in current events and in the world's progress. About a year ao he suade an ex tensive tour through the west, and his notes on the topography of the country, and the pursuits of the people show that bis habit of obbervation was as keen and accurate as ever. He was a man of rigid and uncompromis.nir morals, showing traits both of the Puritan and the Quaker, and it may be said of him as was said of the father of Robert Bums, that " Even his failings leaned to virtue's side. " F. Our Second Flood. From T'levlay Mornins Johnstown Democrat. It is impossible to describe the intense ex citement that prevailed in the city ali yes terday afternoon anil all last night, owing to the sudden and great rise in both the Slont creek and Coaemaugh rivers. The heavy and continuous rain of Sunday aijht and all through yesterday, and the melting of the snow in the upper end of the county and in Somorset county have caused the water to come up more suddenly than was ever known before. By noon the banks of both streams were nearly full, and at an eariy hour in the afternoon fears were entertained for the safety of several of our bridges which subsequent ereuts proved to be well found ed, as the East Conemaugh, the Woodrale, the Poplar street, the Walnut street, and Cambria bridges were all swept away by 5 o'clock. By dark many families hail left Vine street, lower end of Market, pretty much all along Washington and Stonycreek streets, most of the houses were Tacaied. Familits were still going to the hills as late as 9 o'clock. By o'clock the water had broken over the bank on Stonycreek. and from there on down throi:M Vine street the appearance was that of a full djwing river. Houses in ail the low lying part of the city were Hood ed by o'clock. At that hour it required wading to get on to the north end of the Franklin street dridge. ir xoxflAM.

As sn as the Catarrh becomes seat ed either in tlie nose or throat, it begins slow ly to spread to other parts. Numerous pass air orn :;:to the pharynx or npper throat ; aid, aa they arc all lined with the same mu cous membrane which line the pharynx, the Catarrh can easily find its way to almost any part of the body. It may go upwards into the middle ear and cause deafness, or the frontal sinuses and cause constant front al headache. The Catarrh msyga down wards through the jophagus into the stom ach and cause dyspasia, or through the lar- nyx, trachea, and bronchial tubes to the lung, caus og hoarser-, loss nf voice, chronic co-.ti;rt, bronchitis and consump tion. Whatever cr:re the' Catarrh takes the d:seae remains t!;e same, and a remedy that can be relied on to care it in one place, can alo be relied on to cure it in all places.

Pe-ru-na is a natural tome to the capillary blood vessels wbi-h are wea'i'nei or destroyed by Ca tarrh.

A Remarkable Opinion Delivered by Judge Baer this Week-Hot De nunciation of Attorneys' Commissions. From the B. dford naa-tte. Probably one of the most remarkable opinions ever tiled in the courts of Bedford ouuory wai the one rendered by Judge Baer on Monday. The matter and?r considera tion was a motion in the case of a judgment on record to strike off the waiver of exempt ion laws and injUisi;ion and a denial of de fendant's liability for attorney's commis sions. Tae case itself was not of great im portant anil was derided against the de fendant in few words. B it Judge Baer took advantage of the opportunity to give his Views on judgment notes in a most emphatic manner, his remarks covering ten pages of foolscap. Some extracts follow : Laws that sanction a pruprMtt waiver of exemption and of itiquisiuen and legalize provisions for payment of attorneys com uiissioiis by the debtor in judgment notes used m the every i:iy busineM transactions between men, wiietoer that debtor be tlie h'Jstiar.il. head of a family or wi Jow, are ut terly indeieusibie in tlie present hih state of civilization. It is open todount at least wh-. iier the opportunity alt'orded tbr undue preference ty the use of judgment notes does not render them undesirable in the aosei'n-e of a wise bankrupt law. The ordi nary jiidnrtieut note is now in use in almc-st every transaction, and very often for sums as lo as S-i; and it invar.aoly contains the clauses which the ,nases stigmatize as the "nether garment clause." The clauses of waiver and provisi' ins lor attorneys com mission in such notes cannot be put under legal ban tT soon. But I tear the time is not yet. When the jtreatuesa of the state conn s to be measured by the number, virtue industry and intelligence of its citULiis. we may reasonably hope the laws will be amend ed. The law? in force in relation to tee in dustrious uread winners and indigent debt ors and t.ieir dependent families were doubt less well intended; bm it is plain enouirh lo any observer that any tPil intentions that induced the ,aws have tai.ed in practise to produce .d rjiitj. Tiie exemption law ot the state as now consUmfpd is. when contrasted with the ex emption laws of every other state of this Fui-.-n, a veritable blur on the fair fame of l'en.isylvama a shame and a reproach that o'ljtit to be removal. Thonuh the amount ol m exemption is but vino, even this, if it proved an exemption in tact, would palliate the shame ol ihu .state a littie. But in prac tise it amounts to nothing in the wav of pro tection to a helo!e famiiy. In nineteen of th s'ates of tms Caion there are constitu tiotul provisions exempting property front h-vy and sale for debt. Sixietn of the states bav homesieid ex-mptions. and in ail of these such liberal exemptions exist as put this great state to shame. Ak the thou sand of young and able bodied men who. deiie'iden! on maniii! labor for the breai that ia to siipjiort them and their families, why they leave this state : and you will soon learn that in goirs elsewhere there was at least s reasonable prospect of bettering their c mdition and of making it possible for a family to have a pillow and bed and some bread that should be beyond the reach of the oilieer when adversity came. Under the act of liiC6, Judge Bar says. there were exempt from sale household utensils to the extent of f T ; tools of trades men to the exteut off; all the wearing apparel of a family : four beds and beddinj ; a spinning wheel ; a stove and pipe and fuel for three m.inths: a cow, twohoifs.six sheep and f jod sutH'deut to keep such stock from Xjverater 1 until Mayl; 3") pounds of meat. i bushels of potatoes and lu bushels of grain or tlu meal thereof; lt pounds of l!si or the thread or linen made therefrom ; all Cddes, and seh xil books. Under the act of liK so toe additional exemptions were made. But the act of lsM:, which is the law now in force, only exempts property to the value of $."0, exclusive of wearing apparel, Bibles and sciio j) -books actually in use. Continuing, Judge Baer says: The legislative power may have intended to eniaree the exemption, but in advertently le-gislated in the interest of the creditor and to the detriment ot trie debtor, not foresee ing the near approach of a time when values would be so largely increased that $."100 would not supply one-iialf of what waa ex empt before, and possibly not foreseeing that the right to waive the benefit won Id be so enlarged by judicial construction as to take away "all the protection afforded by the pre vious laws as then construed. As win be seen, the act of l.M'J now givea neither stove, fuel, bed nrfj-xL but instead fives the fam ily of the ban! working man, when adversi ty comes, only a stone for a pillow and a stone few bread. Yet from the Uruilies of the industrial working classes are lo come the future population on which the (rreatness of tbe state is to depend. But Corsnch families the population of the state would die out in time, for it seems to be no longer respectable in high life to rear larjre families, and it is known that the general death rate exceeds the birth rate in bieh life. The poor man is occasionally deemed of some account no tably on election lays, and when it becomes necessary for the aiases. as privates, to bare tbeir bosomes to a foe assailing the homes of the people and the life of th. state.
