A SPECIMEN op MALICIOUS MIS
CHIEF.—One morning last week some
one adopted a very questionable meth
od of haying sport, and one which
might involve serious consequences.
At a place on the Buffalo Bun railroad,
near a curve, they placed the figure of
a man upon the track, his hat on his
head and his head resting on one arm.
When Jerry Nolan, the engineer, saw
the figure on the track bis heart leaped
up into his mouth. The fast-moying
locomotive was almost on the prostrate
figure. Quickly, lie reversed the en
gine, the stop being so sudden that the
passengers were disagreeably shaken,
lie went forward to rescue the drunken
qaan or would-be suicide from the rail
and found it only a stqil'ed figure !

ll.tvi i: pnlteeloire,accompanied by Geo.
\ 11 in s, the constable oi Beuovo, stop
|U'd m town on Monday evening. They
ate on tln track of the tramp who is
supposed to be the murderer of the Col
by couple. The fellow is desctibed to
be a burly-locking chap, with sandv
side w biskcts, of a icddish cast, and
wrais a slouch hat down over his eyes.
Mr. West brook, for mot o than an hour
eiitcrtaincil a crowd of altenlivo listen
ers by relating some of the particulars
connected with the murder case and a
uiong other interest ing things told of
tin* strange dream of Commissioner
Grugaii. who has become famous as a
prophetic dreamer. His account of it
agrees almost to the letter with the fol
lowing from the Ihiihi Jhumcrat of
Lock Haven :
"ilnitii! night nf Thursday, tin' Ith in
stant, as Mr. tii'ugan lay nit his lust asleep,
lie had a vision, and In tliul vision he saw a
lonely H|sit, apparently in tin* wilderness,
with something like a house or shed, hut
which seemed to liiut more like liourds
standing on end leaning against trees, with
a small corn crib attached. Then lie saw a
murder committed near a creek, one jiersou
doing tin- tilmsly work.but apparently with
a knife. Two other persons in dark clot lies
glided ill upon the scene, hilt they did liot
- em to have any eoiiiir. tiou with the iiiur
iter, were going away from the place. Then
in his dream lie saw the murderer ill anotli
! er dark and remote sjuit build a fire and
hum some clothes, at the same time secret
ing s.ear thing that looked to him like a
erowtiar and a satidn'l, putting them in a
Bucket beneath some underbrush. Then
lie saw the individual leave the thicket and
j cross a creek, where hy washed the blood
from his person, at th< same time making n
a mark wlu re he crossed the creek. Tin
last seen of the man in the dream he was
going south, and filially disappooared in
the woods.
"Now ii must l>e rcmcmlMTed that Mr.
Drug.in dreamed this on Thursday night
the Ith instant, two or perhaps throe days
before the I'ulvey murder was committed,
and it made stieh an impression on his
mind that he made a draft of the locality.
Then he told the dream to his associates at
Mic Court House and show is I his draft. tf
eourse, lie was laughed at, and they had a
great deal of fun at his expense. At the
time of the dream Mr. (Irugan did not
know whether the spat he dreaiuisl of was
in existence or not. Now for the sequel.
On Friday, the 12th, Mr. (Irugan, Mr. Kro
sioti-. Mr. llerr and Mr. MeNaul thought
they would drive over to the scene of the
i'ulvey murder, Mr. (irugau l'ing .joked
with ail alqiig the way lieeause of his
dream. Two miles or some say a mile and a
halt tills sell, ui iiiu bgue: tiu.>
jii*.l near a thicket cuviirui! with grajiovinea.
Mr. (irugau say s, "Wait, this liMiks like a
familiar sjHit." He then entered the place.
It was fhi e/fi'7 s/H't h' min hi*dream,
tc/icr< f.'d in •<)'(/< /i i' had con'tiiful th? croie
bar and burned th< dot he*. There was evi
dence that a tire had IHVII built there, hut
whether recently or some time slnoo could
not he told. Hut, strange to tell, Mr. (Iru
gau cmie out of the thick* t ivithn <fun in
hi* Jul nit which has since Ix-en reeognixeil
as the gnu stolen from Cttlvey's house the
night or morning of the murder. This cor
resiKunls with the crowbar in the dream.
No satchel was discoveml, we lielieve, hut
a shot |touch was. At this point Mr. Oru
gan's companions i easel to make fun. The
dream was coming too nearly to reality.
Driving on, thoy jeached the sjH>t where the
munlcr was committed, saw tlm house, and
everything corrcsjiondod almost exactly
with the dream, even to the spot where the
murderer had eross-sd iho creek and made
the mark, where they found a small pile of
stones and saw his footsteps upon the
hank."

F. J. Cheney & Co.,Toledo,O. —Dear
Sirs: About three months ago, notic
ing a letter addressed to you in the Ike
from Gen. Slevin, in relerence to the
cure of his son hy the use of Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure, we were induced to com
mence the use of it for our daughter
Nellie, now fourteen years old,who has
been suffering from catarrh for about
eight years, during which time she has
been treated by one of the best physic
ians in the city. We have also tried
the use of almost all the known leme
dies for catarrh, with no more success
than temporary relief. Many nights
have we laid awake to hold her mouth
open to keep tier from strangling. Her
hearing had also become affected. We
were afraid that she would never recov
er. We have now used six bottles of
HALL'S CATAHIUI CUBE and we be
lieve Nellie to be entirely cured. In a
few days after commencing the uso of
it wo noticed a decided change for the
better, and from that right along she
has improved, until now she breathes
as easily as any one. She sleeps well
and her hearing is perfectly good.
We Gel that the disease is entirely re
moved. We write this unsolicited let
ter, feeling that it is due you, and with
the hope that others may be benefitted
in a like manner. We can hardly real
ize that Such a change could be effected
in so short a time after battling with
the disease so long. Wo are still using
the remedy at Intervals, as it seems to
build up her system. You are at lib
erlv to use this in any manner you see
proper. Wo are yours, truly,

on wires, stretched one above another
eighteen inches apart, to n height of
live wires, and there are more that.
300 miles of wire used in this way. The
leading variety of giapes raised are the
Concord and the Opot to. The original
viues of the latter Mr. Speer imported"
about thirty-two years ago, from the
banks of the Doura, in Portugal.
There was much difficulty at first in
acclimating the vines, and out of 5,-
tXK) imported only Blived. These
Mr. Speer cultivated, and he estimates
that, lie has now from lo,tioO to So,U"U.
A„fter leaving the vineyard the party
the *iue cellars, where the
wines, some of last year's vintage and
some so old that Mr. Speer himself had
forgotten what they were, lay in every
size of receptacle from the pint bottle
to the 1,000 gallon tun. Here Mr.
Speer showed his prooess, discovered
two years ago, for preventing the fer
raentatian of grape juice. Mr. Speer
has succeeded, he claims, in killing the
germs of fermentation altogether by
passing a current of electricity through
the juice. Fumigated casks are still
used, and the wires conducting the
current are attached to nails driveu
through the heads of the casks. Dr.
Wood, who has visited the vineyards
of California, said that there were no
wines that physicians could recom
mend with more confidence than
Speer's port wine, and all the doctors
agreed that this and the other varieties
were of the highest purity and excel
lence. Mr. Speer makes port, claret,
unfermented juice, Burgundy and
grape brandy, the quantities ranking in
the order named.
After a substantial supper served in
Mr. Speer's private park, the party
from Now York returned home highly
pleased with everything it had seen.
