ADDITIONAL particulars of the terri

shows that its havoc was not exagger
ated by the first accounts. Besides an
immense destruction of property there
was a fearful loss of life. Some of the

THE result of last Tuesday's proceed

THERE has been some sharp fighting
in Afghanistan once more. The Bri- (

attacked a short distance below Ghuzni
by 15,000 Afghans and an hour of des
perate fightiug followed, the Afghans
being beaten off with a loss of fully
1,000 killed. The British loss was
comp tratively trilling, consisting of
only seventeen killed and one hundred

WILLIAM Y. MOSIER, a prosperous
farmer, forty-five years old, hung him
self in his barn, at Mosiertown, Craw- j
ford county, lately. It is not known j
that he had any family or pecuniary
troubles. He went to the barn shortly
atter daylight, as if to attend to his
stock, but not returning to the house
at his usual time, some members of his
family went to seek him. When
found life was extinct. Several of Mr.
Mosier's ancestors, are said to have
taken their own lives.

give ten drops of strong or "mother"

before calving; also a dose as soon as
possible after calving; then three or
four times a day for a couple of days,
after which period the danger may be
considered over. In addition to this, if
the cow shows a great adundance of
milk in her bog, a moderate quantity
of this shoucd lie drawn out daily a

A BURGLAR concealed himself in the

few nights ago, and after the family
had retired commenced his search for
plunder. The physician was awakened
by a noise, but discovered that he had
loaned his revolver. Taking an empty
paper bag, he inflated it from his lungs,
and creeping down stairs, overtook the
intruder as bo came from the parlor.
With a shout, the doctor exploded the
paper bag upon the stair railing, mak
ing a terrific report, and frightening
the stranger so that he tumbled upon

TnosE theorists who insist that sui
cide is the result of a sudden impulse
born of mental depression will be at a
loss to explaiu the self-murder of Ste
phen Piilsburry, who guillotined him
self in Massachusetts several days ago.
There seems to have been nothing in
the young man's personal habits or so
cial relations that could have de
pressed his mind and induced a suici
dal impulse, while the ingenuity and
deliberation indicated by the perfection
of the machinery which caused his
death show a condition cf mind which
most alienists would have pronounced
healthful, while the amount of time
necessarily consumed in the erection of
the fatal machine would have sufficed
for the dissipation of any wild impulse.
The theory of insanity, advanced by
the father of the deceased, is probably
correct, for it is well known that men
tal alienation often exists only in single
faculties, and in the case in question it
is likely that an admitted family infir
mity was fatally localized by thought
upon details of criminal cases and su
icides, upon which acquaintances of
the young man declare him to have
been unusually well informed. The
case is a terrible warning to the many
people, professing to be respectable,
who find special enjoyment in the con
templation of life in its dark and ab
normal phases.

AFTER all we have heard of the suf
ferring in Ireland, and all the country
has done to relieve it, such news items
as this, which we find in the Dublin
Irixh Time # of March 23, have
an odd look: "Almost every
steamer leaving Dublin for England
takes large qualities of Irish seed pota
toes nightly for agricultural districts
in Lancashire and Yorkshire, but up
to the present time the largest weights
of theseesculents bave been despatched
to Wales, the London and North
western line to Holyhead taking as
much as sixty to eighty tons daily.
In addition to the steamers return col
liers are being largely employed in this
traffic ; and while, of course, a great
deal of this seed reaches the LilTey
from Munster counties, it is a note
worthy fact in this period of distress
in the west of Ireland that by far the
largest qualities of seed tubers shipped
from Dublin for England and Wales,
and occasionally for Scotland, come di
rect from Connaugh counties, and es
pecially from the district of Castleren,
Castlebar, ClaPemorris, and other
Mayo and Gal way neighborhoods
where the suffering is said to be keen."

Again we repeat, and without fear

is fully as good as must flours sold for

so popular, is without a doubt as good
a flour as any fancy brand sold in this

an A No. 1 family flour, giving the
best of satisfaction. Empire Mills at

good sweet bread, and give as good
satisfaction as other brands sold at

As reference that the Camp & Ran
dall Manufacturing Co.'s flour has giv
en good satisfaction, we can show by
the books of the Penn'a Railroad Co.
at Butler, that we have received more
flour in the past year than any other
grocery house in Butler Co. Owing
to the increased trade we have on this
make of fl'<ur, merchants, in order to
sell other brands, make all kinds of re
marks ; the general saying is, it is just
as good as "Red Ball others try to
get flour put up under the same
brands, and some have gone so far as
to say the flour sold by us is short
weight, &c. It is an easy matter for
any dealer to get a few sacks of the
brands we handle, and in order to help
them sell other inferior grades on which
larger profits are made, open the sacks
take out a few pounds and then say it
is short weight. What ice bave is all
full weight; we guarantee every sack
to contain 49 pounds, and wfll lie

Running Goars for Vehicles —Let-
ters Patent Issued.
WASHINGTON, April 20.—Letters
patent were issued to-day from the
Patent OHice, granting a patent to Pe
ter Herdic, of Williamsport, Pa., for
improvements in running gears for ve
hicles, which it is claimed, will revolu
tionize the present system of local per
sonal transportation. The improve
ments combine greater strength of the
more important parts, a very great re
duction of friction and strain incident
to jolting over inequalities of the
grouud, and secure to till vehicles to
which tLey may be applied, the advan
tages of easy running and abrupt turn
ing. The main object of the inventor,
as set forth in bis application, is to
adapt these improvements to light and
and heavy vehicles, to supply the places
of the lumbering stages and coaches
now in common use. Wealthy parties
have already entered into arrangements
with the inventor, and will begin at
once to manufacture and introduce here
and in the principal cities of the "oun
try vehicles adapted to the wants of
personal transportation, constructed up
on the improved principles secured by
Mr. Ilerdic's patent.

Another Groat Decline in Flour.
Nearly two thousand sacks of Flour

ing a total reduction on some brands
of one dollar per barrel in two weeks.

®SOO Reward—Catarrh Cure.
Some people would rather be hum
bugged than to get "value received"
for their money. Hence it is that such
persons run after this and that pre
tended cure for catarrh, forgetting
that Dr. Sage's Catarrh Heniedv is so
positive in its effects, that its former
proprietor advertised it for years
throughout the United States under a
positive guarantee, offering SSOO re
ward for an incurable case and was
never called upon to pay this reward
except in two cases. This remedy has
acquired such a fame that a branch
office has been established in London,
England, to supply the foreign demand
for it. Sold by druggists at 50 cents.

DR. 11. V. PIERCE :
Dear Sir —Some time ago I bought
some of your Dr. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy and Golden Medical Discovery
and commence to use them. The
aches aud pains as well as sore throat
and catarrh from which I have beeu
for so long a time a sufferer, have en
tirely left me with their use. I feel
like a new man as well as look like
one. For four years I was unable to
breathe through my nose. From the
use of the Catarrh Remedy I can now
do so freely. Your medicines I know
to be all that they are represented.
Long live Dr. Pierce and the gentle
men connected with him.
Gratefully yours,

CANCER.
This diseese like many others IS regarded
as incurable. It is not so. If it is taken in
time it is AS easily cured ns a wart or A corn.
We know very well that it is N fearful disease
ami will eat away until it destroys life, that
is if it is neglected, but if it is attended to
when it firs* makes its appearance, or soon
after, there is no trouble in eradicating it
from the system. Persons will have to be here
during part of the treatment, consequently
there is no use writing to :ne for information
whether it can be cured without my seeing the
case. I also treat with success, Rupture, Piles,
Fistula, Ulcers, IMeerated legs, Varicose Veins.
Varicocele Tumors, Hydrocele, and every form
of Skin Disease.
