An rr•$sss•sa toperI.ase.
While returning trona Dakota a tow
day. ago Mr. Charles Davis, of Lead -
bury, the well known drover, lied a
sumewhet unpleasant and costly viper -
nines. When leaving Chicano a stranger
entered the oar and too'a seat beside
him. A short tune at swards another
stranger eatatil straggling' !trough the car
and seemed to be the 4one of liquor.
He aocostd the tint than by sayiug that
he owed him six dollars and demanded
immediate payment. This man acknow-
ledged the debt and takin4 some bills
from his pocket asked Mr. Davis if he
eueld change a ten. Mr. Davis replied
that he thought ho could and the stran-
ger lauded him his bill. Mr. Davis
took his pocket b.it,'.. out and laid it
down en the seat in front of him, and
took loon' it the small bills and handed
them to the man.. Just as he was in the
act ..f laying down the ten dollar bill
that he had got, in the pocket book from
whence he had taken the small bills,
the second man, who was standing in
the passage beside hint, snatched the
pocket boo -k and the money. Mr. Davis
grabbed his man by the hands when he
noticed that he had the pocket book in
the one hand and a revulveriu the other.
The man for whl•m the change was
made, jumped up, snatched the revolver
and the picket book tram the other
man's hands and rushed out of the dour
of the car and jumped of Mr. Davis
then let go his man to pursue • the other
when they both escaped. There were
three others of the gang on board, who,
under the pretense of pursuing the rob-
bers also escaped from the car. The
train was in motion at the time but was
going very slow so the parties could easi-
ly jump off, and in the midst of the con-
tagion they escaped, and their course
after leaving the car was unobserved.
The passengers were su much taken by
surprise as well as frightened that none
of theni thought of rendering assistance
until the whole thing was over, which
occurred in much lea time than it takes
to tell it. The pocket book contained
5160. The ter.-dol1a,Y bill which Mr.
Davis received from the ma» fell upon
the floor during the scuttle and he got it
afterwards. What made him less sus-
picious was that the man who asked fur
the change had travelled in the same car
with him from St. Paul, and had a
through ticket to New York, and while
he seemd to be a very agreeable travell-
ing companion did not try to force ac-
quaintance. The train by which they
travelled stopped at Chicago several
i hours. During the delay Mr. Davis
1 had ..ane business to transact in the
city, and in one place where he had oc-
casion to pay out money he now remem-
' bens hating noticed his felluw traveller
in the same store, and he then no doubt
saw the money and had the job fixed up.
As soon as the robbery was committed,
Mr. Davie had the train stopped, and
the conductor telegraphed back to the
Chief of Police of the city a description
of the men, but he by not heard any
more of them or the money since, and it
is toot likely that he will. On the same
train between St.. Paul and Chicago sev-
eral other passengers had their pockets
picked and small sums of phoney taken,
and it is every way likely that the macre
ha Week a Mtr.tbrey parties took the money in both instan-

simony. And them too, personal ex= .--[Exposit..r.
perience or obsorvatlon is so much more
convincing than mere assertion. Train-
ed to habits of analysis and keenest ac-
curacy, and from the very nature of
their daily occupation, given to the most
incisive' criticism of anything of a pro-
prietary nature, chemists, as a class,
hesitate very 1. al; before indorsing id a '
remedial nature whose virtues hare been
announced through the puolic press.

chemist, W. J. Dyes, Esq., of , edical
Hall, Strathruy, Ont., sends, with his
friendl recommendation, the following
from David Harrison, Esq., fah con..
township of Caradoc:– Having suffered
with inflammatory rheumetisnesince last
July, and hearing of St. Jacobs Oil, I
asst for bottle of the article on the 15th
of October. At that time I was confined
to the house, and could not possibly get
out of bed without assistance. After
four applications of the Oil the pain
*eased entirely, and I was able to go
about Strathroy in less than a week. I
cannot give too much praise to St.
Jacobs Oil for what it has done for me,
and I believe it to be a most reliable
remedy in rheumatism. Its wonderful

ledge of everybody.

FROM THE WELL•K;e (WN WRITER, MES.
NARY FRAN.Is Margaret Blount).
"Two years ago I began to take the
1' t vi '. SIRUP. I was in a languid,
half -alive .tate. through incipient dys-
pepsia and defective circulation o1 the
blood. Three bottles of the Peruvian
Syrup changed this to glowing, bonnd-
ing health. I have a fine appetite, sleep
soundly. and can walk five milekeasily,
without resting, or busyingmyself out
of doors all day long without fatigue.
A lady cousin, who resides with me,took
the Syrup dunng her recovery from a
serious illness of some weeks. She has
been an it•alid for years. Five bottles
of the Syrup hare so built up her sys-
tem that she now eats quite heartily,
sleeps well, and can walk three miles (in
fine weather) without fatigue. I con-
sider the medicine so invariable to m-
orns of sedentary pursuits, or to those
who suffer from languor or low spirits,
that I relate this per+nr.al experience
of its effects toou, leaving you to make
what use you please of my letter." Sold
by all druggists.
A great many people are troubled with
oold feet, which is invariably caused by
a sluggish circulation of the blood, A

Lean to say "No" wick decision,
"Yes" with caution –"No" with decision
whatiever it moots a temptation; "Yes"
with caution wheoper, it implies a
promise.
U .evaded purpose is a good and en-
nobling thing, but weoot begin at
the top of it. We must work up to it by
the often difficult path o duty–of daily
duty always very carefully performed.
It is sustained by abundant 'sets that
the greatest events of history, the vital
incidents of the world's prcgress, have
often after turmoil resulted in the word,
the deed, the determination of a mo-
ment.
It requires but very few words from
unbelieving lips to consign verbally to
oblivion a great truth, a great book, a
greet system, a great moan. But to sweep
out of being the work which these have
done in the world–that is • different
affair.
The storms of this world may sweep
over us, and we may suffer the wreck of
all our earthly hopes and possessions,
but they cannot take from us what
should be dearer to our souls than all
perishable treasures–a calm, serene,
immovable, rejoicing trust in heaven.
As tappeeta.e Lease..
Dr. A. Smith, of Mexico, N.Y., a gen-
tleman who enjoys excellent health at
the age of 81, and who is about to visit
San Francisco, called upon us to mention
his experience with tobacco, to the use
of which he was formerly addicted as a
matter of defence, •1 his cpmpanionsbe-
ing smokers or chewers. He used the
most expensive Havana and Caracas ci-
gars, whish on examination he found to
be highly charged with nicotine, and his
health failed. Upon investigating the
cause of his general debility he found it
to be, not old age u he had fancied at
65, but tobacco ;and when he gave up
that he grew young and vigorous again,
and Ise still enjoys excellent health. He
has induced many, by the recital of his
experience, to rive up smoking or chew-
ing, or both; and we hope this publica-
tionof that experience will have the ef-
fect of inducing a great many more to
give up what sense, reason, experience,
science and the Christian principle of do-
ing all to the glory of God alike con-
demn.
Newspaper laws.
We call the special attention of post-
masters and subscribers to the following
synopsis of the newspaper laws :
1. A postmaster is required to give
notice by letter (returning a paper doss
not answer the law) when a subscriber
dues not take hie paper out of the office,
and state the reasons .for its not being
taken. Any neglect to do so makes the
postmaster responsible to the publishers
for payment.
2. If any person orders his paper dis-
continued, he must pay all arrearages,
or the publisher may continue to send it
until payment is made, and collect the
whole amount, whether it be taken from
the office or not. There can be no legal
discontinuance until the payment is
made.
3. Any person who takes a paper from
the post -office, whether directed to his
name or another, or whether he has sub-
scribed Or not, is responsible for the pay.
4. If a subscriber orders his paper to
be stopped at a certain time, and the
publisher continues to send, the sub-
scriber is bound to pay for it if he takes
it out of the post -office. This proceeds
upon the ground that a man must pay for
what he uses.
5. The courts have decided that refut-
ing to take a newspaier anal periodical,
from tho post -office, or removing and
leaving them uncoiled for, is priw.t facie
evidence of intentional fraud.
j—
No article ever attained such unbound -
ed popularity in an shorta time as Bur-
dock Blood bitters, and that teo.lntint!
the existence of countless numbers of
widely advertisedbitters and blood puri-
fiers. It is evident that this medicine
begins its work at once, and leaves no
desirable effect unattained.
