While turning to leave the upper story

perfine bolting apparatus and she was
drawn into the machinery. Mr. Taylor
who was standing by, caught her and
would have rescued her, but her steel
hoop skirt bad become entangled in the
cog-wheels and Mr. Taylor's attempts
were in vain, and he came .hear being
drawn himself into the machinery which

lady in a manner too horrible to con
template.
ear A singular and most distressing
scene took place on the 6th, in a grave
yard at Edwardsville, Illinois, where,
during the funeralceremonies over the
body of a child of Mr. John Gaffney,
the mourners and attendants were at
tacked by a swarm of bumble bee. The
irate insects lit upon the uncovered
heads and faces of those present, who

ladies stung is confined to her bed from
the effects of the virus.

enough, drowned himself in a stream
near town.
la' The woman, Mollie Trussel, who
last week killed her paramour in Chica
ao, is now in close confinement in the

gled grief and fear, and at times evi
dences signs of mental aberration. Oa
Thursday she nearly succeeded in hang
ing herself, by making a rope of her
shawl and tying one end to the bars over
her door. She had swung herself off,
but her struggles alarmed a prisoner in
an adjoining cell, when she was cut down
and her life saved.

men entertaining loyal sentiments to
live in most parts of the South.

owner, who applied it to his own use.
In case the civil courts refuse to do him,

MALARIA EVERYWHERE.-Rarely has
thole been a season as fruitful as this of male
rious diseases. Not only on the parairies and
in the valleys o f the West ; not merely in all
the old haunts of Fever and Ague and Bilious
Remittent Fever have these prostrating dis
eases been unusually virulent; but they have
extended to towns and cities never before in
fested with them, and have ascended the
mountains and attacked thousands of people
supposed to have been placed by the laws of
Nature above their reach. Hence we are
compelled to admit that a fatal element per
vades the universal air this season, and should
at once resort to the only approved preventive
of its consequences, Hostetter's Stem= Bit
ters, a tonic so potent, an anti-septic so per
fect, an alterative so irresistible, and a Mime
lant so pure, that it enables the human system
to resist and baffle all the predisposing causes
of disease. With the confidence that one
clothed in incombustible garments might move
among blazing buildings, the man who arms
himself against, malaria with this powerful
defensive medicine may walk a fever-scourged
district fearless of its insalubrious atmosphere.
The intermittents and remittents at present so
general in all parts of the country may be but
the forerunners of a deadlier scourge now on
its way westward from the far East. Prepare
the system with Hostetter's Bitters for a suc
cessful battle with the mephitic causes of all
epidemics. Be wise in time. Sold every
