's pickle factory struck water at the depth of tifty-one feet, which rose to a depth of forty feet in a short time. They were engaged all day yesterday in pumping out the water with a steam pump that they might be able to brick up the walls. When completed they will have one of the finest wells in the county. Last Thursday a team attached to a reaper being driven by Wm. Covell, on the farm of A. L. Howe,, near the river, became frightened at the and attempted to run away. once or twice arouud the field when they were fortunately stopped by Mr. Howe seizing them by the head. Mr. Covell managed to keep his seat on the reaper and was not injured. It was a lucky escape. Adelbert Whiting, son of Freeman Whiting, was run over by a reaper on Thursday last, and narrowly escaped being killed. The particulars, as we learn them, are as follows; The team was standing in the field hitched to the reaper, and, being troubled by the flies were quarreling and biting. Mr. Whit­ ing, who was in the field, went to them and succeeded in getting hold of one ling, when they started to run. Adel­ bert then attempted to sieze them by the head, and was knocked down by the pole, the machine running over him and tearing the muscles of his arm and cut­ ting several severe gashes in his hip and thigh. Fortunately no bones were in­ jured. Dr. Anderson wae called, who dressed the wounds, and at the time of writing the victim is getting along as nicely as could be expected. We had the pleasure yesterday of looking over the fine paintings executed by Miss Clara B. Owen during her year and a half of residence in Paris, or rath­ er, such of them as she was able to bring home, and can truly say that we were more than repaid for the time we spent. We hafte thought, and often said, before her journey abroad, that pictures which came from under her bj-ush were hard to beat, but the im­ provement she has made in the past year and a half is simply marvelous, and if we are a judge her paintings are now simply perfect. The pictures we saw consist of portraits, fruit pieces, game, farm scenes, etc., part of which are taken from life and part copied from paintings by the most famous artists in the world. Miss Owen has made flesh colors one of her principal studies dur­ ing her absence, and anyone who look s upon the specimens of her handiwork cannot but say she has made a success of it in every particular. Her natural talent as a portrait and landscape paint­ er has strengthened by experience and cultivation, and she can now be truly ranked as one of the first artists in the land. Albert L.

I will mail yon free, to prove merit samples of my Dr. Shoop's Restorative, and my Book on either Dyspepsia, The Heart or The Kidneys. Troubles of the Stomach, Heart or Kidneys are merely symptoms of a deeper ailment. Don't make the common error of treating symptoms only. Symptom treatment is treating the result of your ailment, and not the cause. Weak stomach nerves --the inside nerves--mean stomach weakness, always. And the Heart and Kidneys as well have their controlling or inside nerves. Weaken these nerves and you inevitably have weak vital or­ gans. Here is where Dr. Shoop's Re­ storative has made its fame. No other remedy even claims to treat the "inside nerves." Also for bloating, bilionsness, Gad breath or complexion, use Dr, Shoop's Restorative. Write me today for sample and free book.
