lIEK NOME VOH TWO YEAR*.— Our friend,
Mr. John F. Putter, ho* among hi* chil
dren pretty Utile twin girls, now about
three and a half years of age. When
Maggie WHS about a year old, she became
afflicted with what her parent* thought to
be a bad cold. Thi growing aiirw and
the parent* fearing it might develop into
catarrh, they summoned the services of
the family phytician. lie raid it wm not
catarrh, but a* an ulceration had already
formed in the right nostril, he prescribed
an ointment to be occasionally applied, and
also some constitutional remedies. He
also udvised a douche to force water
through the nostril. The douche was
used only three or four time*, as the appli
cation teemed to give .Maggie pain- Whe
trembled and gave other evidence* of fear
when Mr. l'otter attempted to use the
don am. The other remedies, together
with application* of bacon to draw the
serenes* out, were continued without ef
fect, and the disease teemed to grow worse,
becoming quite offensive. Of course, Mr.
Potter was willing to do anything to
afford Maggie relief. About si* weeks
ago, as Mr. Potter was in '{squire Kunkin's
office, he fell into conversation with Dr.
It. 1.. I)arlt, who was present. The Doc
tor was a>-ked by Mr. Potter if lie ever bad
succes* in curing catarrh. The Doctor
replied in the affirmative. Mr. Potter
informed the Doctor of Maggie's affliction,
'when the Doctor told him to bring Maggie
to hi* office on the next clear day.
Wednesday of last week WHS a* Ix-autiful
as any day could be, and accordingly, at
five o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Potter
repaired with Maggie to the Ibsc-tor'# of
fice. A strong western un shone through
the office window, and the Doctor, placing
Maggie in a Inerrable position, commenc
ed plying his instruments about her nos
tril. "if J cure Maggie of catarrh how
much will you give me?" inquired the
worldly wise Doctor. "Anything," re
plied the affectionate father. "All right;
here it goes," said Dr. Darlt as he forced
Maggie * nose into a Hat position and drew
forth n large shoe button. Her nose
bled frcelv. but since it was relieved of the
button the otf"nive smell ha* disappeared
and it i* now healing. The parents
could har-jiv credit the fact that it was the
button that had caused ail of Maggie's
trouble, but are much rejoiced now that
she u recovering.
BREAD AXD CAKE*. — Mr. J. H. Hand*
opened his bakery on Allegheny street last
week, and on Wednesday sent to many of
his friends specimen* of hi* new baker's
best skill in cake and bread baking. Hi*
friends considered this an appropriate and
proper manner of celebrating the <><va*ion,

occur frequently in the future. The new
baker bails from the Vienna bakery in
Fhiladelpbia, and makes excellent Vienna
bread a* well a* "horseshoe" and "cream"
