Stomach, sometimes called -vaterbrash,
and burning pain, distress, nausea,
dyspepsia, are cured by Hood's Sarsa
parillu. This it accomplishes because
with its wonderful power us a blood
puiiiier, Hood's Sai&apurilla gently
tone-j and strengthens the stomach and
digestive organs, invigorates the liver,
creates an appetite, gives retreshing
sleep, and laises the health tone. In
cases of dvspcpsiu and indigestion it
seems to iiave "a magic touch."
"For over 12 years I suffered from sour
tomach
with bevero pains across my shoulders,
and great distress. I had violent nnuEea
which would leave me very weal: and
faint, difficult to get my breath, Theso
snells camo oftener and more severe. I
did not receive any lasting benefit from
physicians, but found such happy effects
from a trial of Hood's Sarsaparllla, that I
took several bottles and mean to always
keep It In the house. I am now able to
do all my own work, which for six years
I havo been unablo to do. My husband
and son have also been greatly bene
fited by Hood's Sarsaparllla for pains in
the back, and after the grip. I gladly
recommend this grand blood medicine."

Susciuehanna.Feb. 10. There was a
gieat gathering of crows near the Kile
station at Hickory Glove a few morn
ings ago. Flock after Hock poured Into
a piece of woods near that station.
Their llight was so continuous that
they obscured the sun. They came
from tho north. The noIe made bv
their cawing was deafening. Men and
boys shot them by the score lis they
swooped down Into the woods, which
became for a time a veiltable old-time
crow-roost. The firing of guns only
frightened such of the crows as wete
nenr the gunners, and they only rose
to alight In another tree. The noise
they made was kept up until darkness
settled over them. Once In awhile in
the night the blanch of borne tree,
which was overloaded with birds,
would bieak with a crash berreath their
weight. Then there would be a great
cry and clamor and rush of wings
among the ciows thus suddenly de
prived of a roosting place, until they
regained a foothold elsewhere. ThMr
noise could be heard a mile away.
Early the next morning the great mass
began to stir and they Hew awav In
flocks until the woods were again free
of them. They were more than an
hour In getting away. Dead crows
and broken branches littered the grove
from one end to the other.

INTELLIGENT ANIMALS.
Miss Kate Hotehklss, of Wlnslow,
has the most precocious cat In the state
of New Yolk. Entirely Ignoring the
time-honored "cat-hole" In the kitchen
door, when desiring to enter the house,
it will walk lelsurply up to the front
door, and, standing upon Its hind legs,
pull the bqll knob, until Its mistress
opens the door. It evidently loves the
sound of the bell, for when the door Is
opened It will continue to pull the knob
until dilven away.
Dr. S. I. Engle, of Susquehanna, has
a music-loving kitten. At the first
sound of the piano It will spring upon
the Instrument and remain theie until
Its mistress ceases playing. Quite
often it will run backward and forward
over the keys, evidently to lrear the
beautiful discord. Before this fad of
the kitten wab discovered, the sourrd
of the piano In the small hours of the
night led the family to believe that
supernatuial hands were manipulating
the keys. The doctor Is endeavoring
to teach the kitten the scale.
IN THE COUNTY.
A district Sunday school Institute
will be held in Montrose on Thursday

FOR MAIDENS WITH TWO LOVERS.
Years ago there was a young lady
in Susquehanna county who had two
sweatheai ts, and, not being able to de
cide between the two, she set out two
wild locust bushes In the ward, naming
one for each of her lovers, believing
In the old adage: "If he loves me that
bush will grow", and "accoidlng to hei
lalth, so It happened unto her." One
of the bushes very soon withered, but
the other nourished, and In the course
of time she mauled the gentleman
for whom the bush wus named They
raised a large family, who are well
known throughout several counties,
and the locast bush also grew and
multiplied. Time has laid lre the
Spot where the old dwelling stood, and
nothing remains to mark the spot of
this once happy home but the locust
hushes, of .hlch there is a complete
hedge about one hundred yards In
length.
ODDS AND ENDS.
Montrose has eleven poets. A
wlpked person at our elbow suggests
that the bebt thing about them Is
their melUIIUous silence, and the (act
that they are seldom heard of, except
In statistics.
Great Hend Is striving hard to keep
up with the procession. But It still has
a toll-gate a relic of barbarism.
A Iilnghamton poet Is out with some
winter verses and warrts to know
will love grow cold?" It will, this
weather, If it lingers by the front gate.
Anent tho Mormon Imbiogllo at For
est City, pel haps those Duudafflte
"missionaries" might try their (1st at
converting those wicked mormon eld
ers u In Forest City. It would be
easier work than going to Africa or
Susquehanna and much sater! And
a mormon temple In Forest City would
be something dreadful!
THEY'LL. ALL BE THERE.
The man who wants to see a mais
convention of tho candidates for the

AN EIGHT-LEGGED HORSE.
James McCloud, of Gulf Summit, has
an eight-legged hoi&e. It Is a marvel
neither as a trotter nor racer. Ills
supposed value lies In the fact that
he has eight feet. The division begins
at the postern or lower end of the
shin bone, arrd In each case there are
two peifectly formed hofofs, one of
which Is large and useful, and the
other, about one-third the usual size.
Is wholly ornamental. All eight hoofs
on each horse, might be shod, If It was
desirable to do so, but It would be a
waste of four shoes to each horse, be
cause the four extra hoofs do not come
within three Indies of the -giound.
They are possibly developments of the
suppressed toes or "splints." The horse
does not seem to be Incommoded by
too much footing.

A LETTER TO WOMEN
Prom Mrs. JamoB Oorrltrnn.
For seventeen yeaVs I have suffered.
Periods were, so very painful that I
would have to go to the doctor every
month.
lie said that I had nn enlargement of
tho womb, and told my husband Unit I
must undergo nn
operation, ns 1 had
tumors In tho
womb, and it
vvuu a case of
lifu or death.
I was ope
rated upon
twice, but it
did not seem
to do mo any
good, it mado
nro very weak.
I was troubled
with the leu
corrhcoa u
great deal.
I also suffer
ed with the
sick headache,
vomiting
spells, back
ache nil the
time, terrible pain in my left side, chills,
loss of appetite, and could not bleep
nights. After taking beveral bottles of
Lydia 11 I'lnkhirm's Vegetable Com
pound, .some Liver I'ills, and using your
Sanative Wash, 1 recovered.
I can eat well, and every one that
sees me tells me I am a diflcrcut per
son. I can do all rrry own work, sleep
well nnd foul well. 1 am growing
stronger every day, and am able to go
out arrd enjoy a walk and not feel all
tired out when I return, as I used to. I
doctored for sixteen years, and in all
those years I did not feel as well as 1 do
at the present time. I wish that every
woman that is troubled as I was, would
try that medicine. Oh 1 it is so good
to feel well, and it is all owing to Mrs.
Pinkham's kind advice and medicine.
