His father was not in sight but on going to where he had been working he found him lying on his back, 1841, hence was 73 years and 1 month dead; the corn chopper clasped in his hand. From all appearances he had been dead only a few minutes as he had cut’ quite a bit of corn from the time his son went to dinner until he dropped dead, evidently from heart failure. Mrs. Alex- ander and her daughter, Mrs. Royer, were in Bellefonte at the time and did not learn of their bereavement until’ their return home on the train.

Sudden changes of weather are es- pecially trying, and probably to none ! more so than to the scrofulous and con- | sumptive. The progress of scrofula dur- | ing a normal October is commonly great. We never think of scrofula—its bunches, cutaneous eruptions, and wasting of" the bodily substance—without thinking of the great good many sufferers from it have derived from Hood’s Sarsaparilla, whose radical and permanent cures of this one disease are enough | to make it the most famous medi- cine in the world. There is probably not a city or town where Hood's Sarsapa- rilla has not proved its merit in more homes than one, in arresting and com- | pletely eradicating scrofula, which is | almost as serious and as much to be feared as its near relative, consumption.

Mr. Mills says he is an excellent mouser, patient and thorough in his methods. Youth’s Companion. 4
