A Chicago Broker’s Happy Investment.

[From the Chicago Journal.] Lewis 11. O’Conor, Esq., whose office is located at 93 Washington street, this city, lately related the following in the hearing oi one of our reporters as an evidence of special good fortune. I have been suffering, said Mr. O’Conor, for a number of weeks with a very severe pain in my back, believed to be from the effects of a cold contracted while on the lakes. I had been prescribed for by several < f our physicians and used various remedies. Three days ago, I abandoned them till and bought st.bottle of St. Jacobs Oil, applied it at night before retiring and to-day feel like a new man. I experienced almost instant relief and now feel no pain whatever.

Ella Higgins, the young daughter of a poor miner, at Dunmore, Pa., desired to dress as well as her companions at a forthcoming party, and therefore purchased some fineries at a store, saying they were for the wife of a neighbor, who would pay for them. The merchant, on ascertaining how he had been tricked, made arrangements to have the girl arrested. When the officer went to get her, she was found hanging to a beam in the irarret of her home.
