We are pained to learn of the death of our old friend Charles Buchiniller, of New Berlin, on the 2tith ult., iu his 7ftth year. Mr. B. was a native of Germany, but came to America long ago. He was a man of good education, and very industrious, and a superior bookbinder. Ho served for a long term iu the German army, and was also for years in the French army lighting in Arabia. During the late war in our own country, he join ed the Union army and fought gal lantly for the cause. Mrs. Buchinil ler died a number of years ago, and, having no family. Mr. B. passed the subsequent portion of his life in sad loneliness. Shortly after the de cease of his life partner, ho told us of his sorrow and loneliness, and added that he found no relief from his grief except by constant, vigor ous work. Said he, "I find there is no better specific for a broken heart than hard work."-,;Wr Chron icle. Demochatic Convention.

The Convention dismissed with the adoption of resolutions as usual ' Thrilling Adventure of An Old Hunter in thi Seven Mountains. Intelligence reached us last week that John A. Fetterolf, of Troxcl ville, had had a thrilling adventure in the Seven Mountains, uud we sought an interview with the veteran deer slayer with the following result iu his own words : "I was coming home from the Weiker run lumber job, w here I am employed as a teamster, and left camp at a little before seven o'clock in the evening of Thursday, August 23, for my home near Troxelville. It grew pitch dark before I had come half way across the mountains, but as I know every foot of ground in that section, and had followed the same trail dozens of times before, I paid little attention to 1113 course which wound around and over the mountains, through thick laurel and beneath tall hemlocks. When ap proaching what I thought was "Buck Notch," well known to hun ters, I noticed that I was mistaken in the place and hud lost my way. I tried to locate myself by tho "drafts" in the mountains running parallel, but the darkness was so in tense that I could not distinguish an object three feet away. I wasted no time but started back directly as I had come, only to find myself trav eling over strange ground and climb ing over rocky ledges, w hich, in my now thoroughly befuddled brain I thought I had never seen before. I thus vainly sought my path for sev eral hours, when I concluded to call, thinking that I might have w andered back to camp near enough to bo heard The first call I made was promptly answered by a voice way up the mountain side. I called again, and the echo had not yet died out when a response came. I started in all haste for the direction from which tho voice came but my prog ress was much impeded by the thick underbrush, and I had hardly gone a hundred yards when I stopped and called again. The response chilled my very soul, ami the horrible thought of having lured a dangerous wild animal to me by my calls made my hair stand up. I was sure it was not a human voice and I stood and listened while niy heart beat so I could hardly keep my feet. Pres ently I heard a whining iu the brush close by that much resembled the noise made by young dogs, uud I turned in flit! direction but could see nothing. The thought of an old panther ami her young flashed across my mind. I well knew it was too late to run. I reached for my match box to kindle a fire, when it occurred to me that iu changing my apparel I had laid it on a bench in the shanty and went away without it. Oh, how I wished for a match ami how hard I searched in the pockets and even in the lining of my vest for one, but I could lind none. There was nothing left me for defense but a rusty old Barlow knife, and I brandished it and began to feel my way to tho nearest tree. I had hard ly moved out of my tracks when a low, purring noise came from the ground near my feet and two bright little eyes shone iu my face. I was positive it was a young panther and before thinking of consequences I gave it a violent kick. Its screams of pain were answered by tho piercing yells of tho mother now not thirty feet from me, and for the first time showed me her large fiery eyes. I had now located her and I never took my eyes from her knowing full well that she would not spring on me as long as I faced her. Hours, which seemed days to me, rolled by, when at last u greyish tint in tho east an nounced tho advent of day, and tho tw o dazzling, yellow eyes disappear ed and the eat-liko purring of tho youngceused. Alittlo reconuoitering enabled me to locate myself. I was in Wolf Swamp, and had made an almost complete circle of many miles for had I continued on my journey a mile further I would have got back to camp. It is the first time I was ever lost in the mountains, and I hope tho good Lord will save me front another such an experience." Bruce Swengel Killed A dispatch late last night from Mfllinburg conveyed tho sad intelli gence that R. Bruce Swengel, son of C. P. Swengel of Paxtonville, had been killed. No further intelligence could be obtained last night and this morning the editor, iu company with A. W. Bowersox, drove to Pax tonville. We learned that the re mains of the young man had arriv ed from Miffiinburg last night and tho circumstances attending his death are as follows : He had been teaching writing and drawing in Union county, and feel ing a need of more out-door exercise he sought employment on the Par dee Lumber job, at Pardee, on the Lewisburg and Centre R.

Almost every day we feel the un pleasant sensations of indigestion. Try Allcock's Porous Plasters and be relieved. J. F. Davenport, New- York, writes: I have been verv much troubled with a violent pain below my chest bone. I was told by several physicians that it was rheumatism of the diaphragm. It resulted from cold and exposure. I had very little appetite and digested my food with great difficulty. I placed ono Allcock's Porous Plaster below tho breast bono aud two on each side. In tho course of twenty four hours all pain ceased, and I was uHo to eat and digest a good square meal, something I had not done be fore iu tw o weeks. I got better con stantly, and at tho end of seven days found myself entirely well. Since then I have used Allcock's Porous Plasters for colds, coughs and pains in my side, and I have always found them quick and effective. Fashion, and society, impose many privations upon the female sex, in the way of dress. First it is one freak, and then another, aud from tho fact, that many of them arc un healty in tho extreme, it is small wonder that many woman succumb, and that "female weaknesses" are the too frequent result. Dr. Pierce's Favorito Prescription is the only positive cure for these complaints in existence, and thousands of women can bear witness to its efficacy. "Favorite Prescription" is a legiti mate medicine, carefully compound ed by an experienced and skillful physician, and adapted to woman's delicate organization. It is the only medicine for women, sold by drug gists, under a positive, - guarantee, from tho manufacturers, that it will give satisfaction in evey case, or money will be refunded.
