THE TIMES, NEW BLOOM FIELD, PA., Al'IUL 30, 1878. A Lady's Fight with Burglan. A liooliPRtor dispatch says : la the ab sence of Mr. A. A. Hopkins, of tbe Amer ican Hural Home, an attempt Was made to burglarize bis house about one 1 o'clock in the morning. Mri. Hopkins board the burglars, took a pistol from under her pll )ow,searcbed tbe house In her robe de nult, discovered one burglar pacing In the front ball, tried to enter the sitting room to alarm a gentleman who was sleeping above, but was apprehended by a burglar, who fired at her. In the meantime one of the burglars es caped by tbe back door, and the other sought his exit. Mrs. Hopkins followed him as cloRely as tbe Intense darkness per mitted. He seized her several times by the hair, but Bhe broke away, and when near tbe side door raised her pistol aud fired at the thief. He retreated to tbe back door, but the plucky little woman followed, and just as he was about to fire again she emptied another barrel into bis right arm. The burglar dropped hisplBtol.exolaimed with an oath, "She's hit me in the arm," and disappeared. Nothing of value was eoured. The burglars made an ineffectual attempt to chloroform Mrs. Hopkins and her littlo daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Hop kinB have practiced pistol-shooting con siderably, hence her brave defence against the two burly burglars. Mrs. Hopkins narrowly escaped the two shots fired at her. Is Medicine a Science? As generally understood, scionce consists in deducing facts from theory, and as tbe mathematician requires a knowledge of one factor In order to determine the value of unknown factors, so medicine, when prac ticed as a science, demands a knowledge of one or more facts, upon which to base its calculations. Understood Bnd practiced in this way, the blunders of guess-work are avoided. In preparing his now popular Family Medicines, R. V. Pierce, M. D., of Buffalo, N. Y., devoted much time to the careful investigation of the several classes of diseases for which his remedies are pre scribed as specifics. Their unparalleled success attests, in arguments stronger than words, the Doctor's skill. His Golden Medical Discovery is unsurpassed in curing diseases of the throat, lungs, liver, aud blood ; while the Favorite Prescription is sold under a positive guarantee to cure those diseases Bnd weakness peculiar to women. No remedy yet known equals Dr. Pier-of ' Compound Extract of Smart Weed in curing dysentery and kindred ir regularities of tbe bowels. Over one hun dred thousands copies of the People Con mon Sense Medical Adviser have been sold. Price $1 CO, post-paid. Address the author, R. V. Pierce, M. D., Buffalo, New York. Old-Time Postal Routes In Maine. The first mail between Topsham aud Bath, Maine, (then called the " Reach"), by water, fifteen miles distant, was in 1850. The garrison was on Foreside Topsham, and a dog bad been trained to take pack ages to the port of Bath in about two hours. On arrival he would howl until he gained admittance, get his answer and re turn. After a time he was shot by an Indian, which was great deprivation, and finally the four-footed messenger's place was filled by an ambitious youth, who said, "I will carry your messages by water." For two successive summers this brave boy went and came 'between the two ports, swimming a great part of the way, in the night time, and resting in the bushes on the shore of Merrymeeting Bay by day. At length he was captured, carried to Canada, and after a time escaping.veturned and resumed his " swimming mail route." He was again captured a second time by the famous Indian chief Sabattis, who broke up that mail route. . for Dyspepsia, Weakness and Debility. Epsom, N. II., May 3, 1870. Dear Sir Having received great benefit from the use of Peruvian Syrup, I am wil ling to add my testimony to the thousands of others constantly sounding its praise. During the late war I was in the army.and bad tbe misfortune to be taken prisoner, and was confined in Salisbury and other Southern prisons several months, and be came so much reduced in health and strength as to be a mere skeleton of my former self. On being released, I was a fit subject for a Northern hospital, where I remained two months and then came home. My physician recommended and procured for me several bottlos of Peruvian Surup, which I eontiaued to use for several weeks and found my health restored and my weight increased from ninety pounds to one btmdred and fifty, my usual weight, and I fcawebeen in my usual good health ever einoe .; and I can cheerfully reoommend it in all cases of weekness and debility of the aysteas, whether arising from an impure .state of the blood, dyspepsia, .or almost any other cause, believing it will in most teases give entire satisfaction. Yours truly, Geo. 8. Bixbt. Sold by dealers generally. ty X Florida negro mistook a mule for a ghost and poked it with a stick.
