Killed by tke Can. Montlcello Herald: John D. Scroggs was run over and killed bv the westr bound pnsseng* r train un the P. C. & St. L.. about a mile and a half east of this place, last Saturday evening. He was walking on the track,coming this way, and being deaf it is supposed did not hear the approaching train.— The engineer sounded the whistle, but in vain. The man was struck by the engine and thrown from the track in a dying condition. He was picked up and brought to this piece in the baggage car and expired just before the train stopped. His skull was crushed, a poition of the chin torn off and a leg broken. Justice Pettit held the inquest, and after identifying the body delivered it to friends who conveyed the remains two miles east of town, to the residence of D. C. Scroggs, father of the deecased and with whom he lived. D ‘ceased was about twenty years of age, a native of this locality and his deafness resulted from cerebro spinal miningitis about ten years ago. It was a sad occurrence, though unavoidable by those having charge of the train. That one so deaf as not to hear the noise of a train in time to get out of Its way, should thus jeopardize his life, is indeed strange. Seroggs lived only a short distance from the railroad and should have known the hour at which regular trains passed, and if be did kntrw this, it would nos be unreasonable to conclude that ne souerbt self destruction in the manner that it was accomplished, though we are not aware that his condition was such as to induce him to contemplate suicide. The new “dog law” will go in force so soon as the distribution of the laws is proclaimed by the Governor. Parties who have been shooting dogs» under the impression that the law was already in force, may wake up to find they have “get their foot in it.” H. A. T. cigars at Kannals. Ayer.s Ague Cure should be in every household in regions where Fever and Ague prevail. It should be taken as a preventive by every resident and traveller in malarial districts. Scarcely any disease to which human beings are subject, is sc thoroughly discouraging as Fever and Ague. The periodical return ofjalteruate chills, fever and sweating, is terribly" depressing. Ayer’s Ague Cure is the only remedy known, which is certain to cure permanently, by expelling the malarial poison which produces the disease. It does this surely, and leaves no ill effect upon the system. Those of our readers in want of nursery stock will do well to carl on Mr. Jno. Coen. He has a complete assortment on hand.
