FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1891.
CAST BENTON.
A Copious rain came pouring down
las t Sunday morning refreshing vegeta
tion and all nature was serene.
The fruit prospect at present prom
ises an abundance.
Grain-especially wheat is in grow
ing condition.
Some planted corn in April, but ex
perience has taught us that the plant
ing season is never htly here until
about the 15 of May.
A large acreage of potatoes will be
planted this year in our locality.
The smoke of forest fires disappear
ed with the timely rain.
The W. & W. R. R. is bent to
steer another way. Its shrill whistle
will not be heard in our valley, and
our people can only look with disgust
on such crooked engineering. But,
who cares ?
The farmers look with great anxiety
upon the final passage of the Ta bill
in its present form, or as it passed
the House, without modification. Every
member of the Senate voting against
that measure will settle his future
destiny, there and then, with the
farmers.
VICINITY 01 OAMBEA.
Jack frost was very plainly seen in
this valley last Monday morning. We
hope it did not injure the fruit.
The recent rain has extinguished
the raginn flames of fire that could be
seen circling the mountainsides. j
Mr. Samuel White has made an im-
provement to his dwelling house by
constructing a veranda on its two sides.
. Grain seems to be a very scarce
thing this spring. i
Old people tell us that the valley
has not been so poor for fifty years as
at present.
As one extreme generally follows
another we hope that business will
suddenly take a turn, and give us a
bountiful harvest.
Our crops have been a failure for the
last two years, but we shall still labor
and plant and trust in the Lord for
good results.
Mr. Bruce Carey has moved in the
hotel opposite McHenry's store.
The Huntingdon Creamery is again
at work.
WALLKEL
John Cole has completed some
quite extensive repairs to his saw mill.
Misses Ettie Fritz, Lillie Fritz and
Nora Hess of Bloomsburg were visiting
their parents on Sunday.
The Quarterly Conference of the
Evangelical Association which con
vened at this place last Saturday, ap
pointed a committee to make arrange
ments for holding a campmeeting up
Fishingcreek near Guava. The Pre
siding Elder said they wished to have
an old fashioned grove meeting and
hoped that all would strive to aid in
making it a means of doing much
good. Campmeetings are in some in
stances, no doubt, detrimental rather
than beneficial to the cause they seek
to upbear j but there surely has been
much good done by them and if prop
erly conducted they doubtless will do
much good yet.
Messrs. M. S. Remley and W. L.
Yorks went to Williamsport on Satur
day and while there enjoyed the hos
pitality of Rev. G. W. Faus and Mr.
G. W. Remley of the Dickinson Sem
inary j but formerly of this part of the
country.
Miss Clara Creasey. of Lightstreet,
is visiting friends in this section.
The recent rain was very welcome
for the ground was getting so dry that
many found it impossible to plow.
Rev. Hamlin preached his first ser
mon to a crowded house Sunday eve
ning. He has not entirely recovered
from a severe attack of the grippe
which he had this spring, but he
preached an able and entertaining ser
mon interspersing it with many well
chosen illustrations.
The farmers are now busy planting
corn There was but very little plant
ed before this week.

If the young chicks mope around
with no apparent cause, examine for
lice, and grease the top of head under
1 the neck, and around the vent witn
lard and coal oil.
Be sure to creese the head of the
chick as vou take them from the nest,
also the old hen under the wings and
on the breast.
This is eood breeding weather, es
pecially for lice. Put plenty of coal
oil on the roosting poles. Don't have

chicks, as thev may fall in and even if
thev do not drown it will throw tnem

Don't set more than one hen in

If the setting hen becomes lousy
dust under the feathers with sulphur
or insect powder, but not within three
days of coming off, if you do you will
regret it. I did that once and the

P1K01.Ki.VN, M.iy 3.--To-night at
twenty minutes after 9 o'clock death
brought an end to the sufferings of
Rev. l)r Geo. W. Bothwell, of the
Congregational Church of the Cove
nant on Classen avenue, He died at
the Brooklyn Hospital.
When the end came there was at
his bedside his wife, whom he recog
nized just before his death, the Rev.
Dr. Stokes, an old-time friend of the
family; Miss Alexander and Miss Col
lins, two private nurses and Ambu
lance Surgeon Young. All day to-day
it had seemed as if the end would be
a matter of a few moments at the
most and life was only maintained by
the frequent administration of stimu
lants, hypodermic injection of spartein,
ether, brandy and inhalation of oxygen.
His pulse during the morning ran up
to 180 and finally became so rapid it
was impossible to count it. At night
fall it was so feeble as to be scarcely
felt. At six o'clock the physicians
thought him dead, but he rallied again.
Two weeks ago Saturday Dr. Both-
well was administering medicine to
his younger child and beguiling her by
laughter and jokes. He had drawn
the cork from the bottle with his teeth.
The doctor gave an unusually hearty
and reassuring laugh as the nasty med
icinc went down the baby s throat. In
fact, he exhausted his lungs and as he
inhaled again, his mouth being still
open, the cork was drawn into the
root of his tongue. Dr. Bothwell
gagged and choked and gasped. He
tried to reach the cork with his fingers,
and the gasp and the fingers together
forced the cork still further in. It
passed the epiglottis and into the lar
ynx. The next inhalation from the
lungs carried the cork upward and a
gainst the glottis, i he eriect was an
irritation uxe tnar. produccu uy tiCK-
ling the throat with a feather, and con
vulsive coughing. The coughing con
tinued tor several hours, the parson
expecting at any moment to cough
out the cork. Although in these
coughing fits Dr. Bothwell almost
strangled he still did not consider the
accident at all serious, and the next
day, Sunday, he preached the usual
morning service to his flock with the
cork still in his throat. His voice was
a little hoarse and speaking was ex
ceedingly painful, but his congrega
tion knew nothing of his suffering.
That day, however, the family physi,
cian was sent for by Mrs. Bothwell
and came to the parsonage.
Recognizing the case as a very ser
ious one a number of throat specialists
were consulted and an effort was made
to locate the offending cork. After the
first operation natuie was given
chance, only a gargle to allay the im
tation being given, and Dr. Bothwell
actually preached the usual evening
sermon. All Sunday night and Mon
day of last week the parson coughed
violently, and Monday night the cork
was dislodged and forced up to the
glottis again. But the throat was
closed by a spasm and the cork was
not expelled, out with a rush ot :ir
back to the lungs it was carried back
into the trachae, and there was intense
pain resulting, and a constant sense
of suffocation and persistent oppres
sion.
Numerous operations were perform
ed upon the patient but without avail,
Widespread interest and sympathy
were aroused in the case because of its
many extraordinary features. Dr. Both
well was a powerfully built man. He
stood six feet two inches in height and
was of robust build and full habits his
weight being nearly 300 pounds. He
was installed as pastor of the Church
of the Covenant, Brooklyn, but recent
ly. He came from the Presidency of
the Straight University, of Louisiana
and had a high reputation as a linguist
pulpit orator and profound scholar.
Dr. Bothwell was born forty-one
years ago in Ohio and graduated at
Adrion College, Michigan. After
wards he entered Yale.
The Modioal Profession.
The attitude of the medical profes
sion toward what is known as "patent
medicines is not at all unreasonable,
Thousands of these nostrums are of
fered to the public every year. Some
of them are dangerous, and most of
them are futile. Swift's Specific (S. S
S. ), we are all glad to say, is not classed
among these nostrums. It has over
come the wholesome prejudices of
physicians in all parts of the country.
and some of the strongest testimonials
in Us behalf come from medical men
who have used it in their practice, and
who do not hesitate to indorse its won
derful results. This is extremely grat
ifying, but by no means astonishing,
for every claim that is put forward in
behalf of S S. S. is based on a series
of actual experiments extended over a
long period of time.
