SCHENCK’S SEA WEED *TONIC. » In the atmosphere experienced here during the summer months, the lethargy produced by:the hep.t takes away the desire for wholesome food, agd frequent perspirations reduce bodily energy, pariicularly Il.lgnse suflering from the effects of debilitating diseases, In order to keep a natural heal,trhml activity of the system we must r_esortvtoi artificial means. For this purpose Schenck’s Sea W‘eéd Tonic is very effectual. A few doses will create an appetite and give fresh vigor to thé enervated bod):. For dyspepsia, itis invalnable. L’gany eminent physicians have donbted whether dysgépsia can be permanently cured by the drugs which are gencrally employed for that purpose. The Sea Weed. Tonic in its nature is totally different from guch drugs. It contains no corrosive minerals or acids; in fact it assists the regular operations of nature, and supplies her deficiencies. The tonicin its nature so mueh resembles ‘the gastric juice thatit is almost identical with that fluid. The gastric juice is the natural solvent- which, in & healthy condition of the body, ‘causes the food to %@«digested; and when this Juice is not excreted in sufficient quantities, indiFestiop with all its distressing s«ymptgms, folTows. The Sea Weed Tonic performs the duty of the gastric juice when the latter is deficient. Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic is for sale by all druggists, A HE e . 11-w4.

LIGONIER. NOBLECOUNTYIN A, THURSDAY, JULY 26; 1877."

A QUARRELSOME NEIGHBOR. “I'hat man will be the death of me vet,” said Paul Lavering. He looked worried out, not an?ry. j o “Thee means Dick Hardy?” “Yes.” i f ¥ I “What has he been doing to thee now ?”’ asked the questioner, a friend, named Isaac Martin, a neighbor. | - “He’s always doing something,friend Martin. Searcely a day passes that I don’t have complaint of him. Yesterday one of the boys came ‘and told me he saw him throw a stone at my new Durham cow, and strike her on the head.”

_ *That’s very Bad, friend Lavering. Does thee know why hedidthis? Was thy Durham cow trespassing on his ground?” . - ok o _“No, she was only looking over. the fence. llé has a spite against me and mine, and does all he can to injure me. You know the fine Bartlett: pear tree that stands in the corner of my lot adjoining his property ?”’ '; “_Yes.”lar i l;‘ L 5 inwm L Byyo large limbs full of - hj:inz : So;‘e?gp his side. You would handly believe it, but it is true; I was out there just now, and discovered tha&lhe had sawed oft these fine limbs that hung over on his side. They lay dawn upon the ground, and his pigs were eating the fruit.” , “Why is Dick so spiteful to thee, friend Liavering? He doesn’t annoy g}e. What has thee done-to thy neighorés : : |

“Nothing of any consequence.” | “Thee must have done something. Try and remember.” “I know what first put him oufi—l kicked an ugly old dog of his Gnce. The beast, half starved at home, I suppose, was all the time prowling abbut here, and snatched up everything that came in his way. One day I cameupon him suddenly, and gave him a tremendous kiek, that sent him howling through the gate. Unfortunately, as it turned out, the dog’s master happened to be passing along 'the read. The way he swore at me was dreadful. I never saw a more vindictive face. The next day a splendid Newfoundland, that I had raised from a pup, met me shivering at the deor,with his tail cut off. I don’t know when I have felt so badly. Poor fellow! his pilepus looks haunt me now; I had no proof against Dick, but have never doubted as to his generous agency in the matter. In my grief and'indignation I shot the dog, and so put him out of gight.” ' - : ! “Thee was hasty in that, friend La-. vering,” said the Quaker, ! “Perhaps I was, though'l never regretted the act. I met Dick a few days afterward. The grin-of satisfaction on his face I accepted as an |acknowledgment of his mean and cruel revenge. Within a week from that time one of my cows had a horn knacked off.” . : : proy “What did thee do?” | , “I went to Dick Hardy and gave him a piece of my mind.” 203 "“Thee scolded and called him names and threatened.” Lol

“Yes—just so, friend Martin.” | “Did any good come of 1t ?” “About as much good as though I had whistled to the wind.” “How has it been since ?” “No change for the better; it grows, if anything, worse and worse. Dick never gets tired of annoying me.” | - “Has thee ever tried the law with him, friend Lavering ? thelaw should protect thee.” . gs * “Oh, yes, Iv’e tried the law. Ohce he ran his heavy wagon against my carriage purposely, and upset me in the road. I made a narrow escape with my life. The carriage was so badly broken that it cost me $5O for repairs. A neighbor sauw the whole thing, and said it was plainly intended by Dick. So I sent him the carriage maker’s bill, at which he got into a towering passion. Then I threatened him with a prosecution, and he laughed in my face malignantly. I felt the time had come to act decisively, and I sued him, relying on the evidence of my mgghbor. He was afraid of Dick, and so worked his testimony that the jury saw only an accident instead of a purpose to injure. After that Dick Hardy was worse than ever. He took an evil delight in annoying and injuring me. I am satisfied thatin more than bne instance he has left gaps in his fences in order to entice my cattle into (his fields, that he might set his dogs on them,.and hurt them with stones. It is more than a child of mine dare to <ross his premises. Only last week he tried to put his dog on my Florence, who had strayed intq one of his ﬁgllds after buttercups. - The dog was less cruel than the master, or she would have been torn by his teeth, instead of only being frightened by his bark.” “It’s a hard case, truly, friend Lavering. Our neighbor Hardy seema possessed of an evil spirit.” =~ “The spirit of the devil,” answered Lavewse - - o - %He'’s thy enemy, assuredly; a.nil if thee does not get rid of him he will do thee greal harm. Thee must, if thee would dwell in safety, friend Laver-

{The Quaker’s face was growing very serious. He spoke in a lowered voice, and bent toward his neighbor in a confidential manner.] g 4 *“Thee must certainly put him out of the way.” o “Friend Martin!” The surprise of Paul was unfeigned. e “Thee must kill him.” . - The countenance of Lavering grew black 'with astonishment. ; ' “Kill him ?”" he ejaculated. - “If thee doesn’t kill him he'll eertainly kill thee .one of these days, friend Lavering. And thee knows what is said about self-preservation being the first law of nature.” - | “And get hung!” e . #I don’t think they’ll hang th%g,; coolly returned the Quaker, “Theecar go over: to his place and get him all alone bg thyself. Nobody need see thee, and when he’s dead I think people will be»mora:%lad than sorry.” “Do you think I'm no‘ better than a murderer? I, Paul Lavering, stain my hands with blood!” e ~ “Who said anything about staining thy hands with blood!” said the QuaBnmls - i e e R . ‘Theﬁ;}imken 1 neyer- used the _ “But you meant it.

A sudden light, gleamed over Mr. Lavering’s face, as if a cloud had’ passed. A new way to kill people. “The surest way to kill enemies, as thee’ll find, if thee’ll only try.? “Let us see. How shall wegoabout it ?” said Paul Lavering, taken at once. with the idea. e

“If thee has the will, friend Lavering, it will not be long before thee Andsthe way” /' 2o o And so it proved. Not ‘two hours afterward, as Mr. Lave‘rinqg‘, was driving into the wvillage, he found Dick Hardy with a stalled earf-load of stone. He was whipping his horse and swearing at him passionately, butto no purpose. The cart wheels were buried half-way to the axles in stiff mud,and defied the strength of one horse to moyve them. On seeing Mr. Lavering: Dick stopped pulling and swearing, and, getting on the cart, commenced. pitching the stones off on the side of theroad. . . e “Hold on a bit, friend Hardy,” said Lavering, in a pleasant voice, as hé dismounted aud unhitehed 'his lorses But Dick pretended not to hear, and: kept on pitching off the stones. “Hold on, I say, and don’t give yourself all that trouble,” added Mr. Lavering,. speaking in a louder wvoice, but in kind and cheerful tones, “T'wo horses are better than one. =~ With Charlie’s help we'll soon have the wheels on solid ground again.” i ~ Understanding now what was meant, Dick’s-hands fell almost nerveless by his side. “There,” said Lavering as he put his horse in front of ‘Dick’s, and made the traces fast, “one null,'\ and the thing is done.” = Before Dick ‘ could get down from the cart it was | out of the mud-hole, and, without say'ing a word more, Paul Lavering un- 1 fastened his horse from the front of‘ Dick’s horse, and, hitehing up again, rode on. o |

. On the next day Mr. Lavering saw Dick Hardy in the act of strengthening a-weak fence, through which Lavering’s cattle had broken once or twice. thus removing temptation, and saving the cattle from being beaten and set on by dogs. “Thee’s given him a bad wound, friend Lavering,” said Martin, on getting information of the two incidents just mentioned, “and it will be thy own fault if thee does not kill him before long.” “Not long afterward, in the face of on approaching storm, and while Dick Hardy was hurrying to get in some clover hay, his wagon broke down. Mr. Lavering who saw from one of his fields the incident, and understood what its loss might occasion,. hitched up his own wagon and sent it over to Dick’s assistance. With astorm coming on that might last for days, and ruin- from two to three tons of hay, Dick could not decline the offer, though it went against the grain to accept a favor from the man he had hated for many years, and injured in 80 many ways. . e

On the following morning Mr. Lavering had a visit from Dick Hardy. It was raining fast. “I’'ve come,” said Dick, stammering and confused, and looking down on the ground instead of at Mr. Lavering’s face, ‘“to pay you for-the use of your team, yesterday, m getting in my hay. I should havelost it if you hadn’t sent your wagon, and it’s only right that I should pay you for the use of it.” -“I should be very sorry,” said Mr. Lavering, cheerfully, “if I couldn’t do a neighborly turn without pay. You are quite welcome, friend Hardy, to the wagon.. lam more than paid in knowing that you saved that nice field of clover hay. How much did you get ?” e “About three tons. But, Mr. Lavering, I must—" L “Not a word, if you don’t want to offend me,” interrupted Lavering. “I trust there isn’t a man around here that wouldn’t do as much for a neighbor in time of need. Still, if you feel embarrassed — if you don’t wish ‘to starlld my debtor, why pay me in good will.”? ¢ ; ;

Dick Hardy raised his eyes slowly, and, looking in a ‘strange, wondering way at Mr. Lavering, said: “Shall we not be friends ?” Mr. Lavering reached out his hand. Hardy grasped it with a quick, short grip, and then, as if to hide his feelings that were becoming too strong, dropped it, and went off hastily. ; “Thee’s killed him!”? said the Quaker, on his next meeting with Lavering; “thy enemy is dead!” “Slain by kindness,” said Layering, “which you supplied.” e “No, thee took it from God’s armory, where all men may equip themselves without. charge, and become invincible,” replied the Quaker. “And I trust, for thy peace and safety, thee will never use any other weapons in fighting with thy neighbors. They are sure to kill.” 1 : :

A Change for the Better, Boonville Enquirer, There seems to be a change for. the better in business matters. There has not been so hopeful a state of mind among business men for the last two years as now. The tide of prosperity begins to set in. Growlers are getting more quiet. Plenty of grain that will make bread. Plenty of butter to help -the bread to its designation. Activity is taking the place of lethargy all along the lines. Let the farmers get their crops to the market speedily. If they keep them over in hope of larger ‘prices, they run the risk of rats, shrinkage, losses by fire, and ldsses of interest. Send in your irain as soon ‘aB, it is ready for market. Let the ipeople now embarrassed keep their patience a little longer, let all the bears stop growling, and all the frogs quit croaking,‘aq% we shall soon have a story to tell of brightness and prosperity. This is our prophecy, and though the wish may be father to the thought, we believe our works will be foundeoprest, s 00l - __ Think for Yourself. .

Th@etrikers against a cut down of -wage Son WM%} railroad threw a freigh Erain from the track 1 Baltimoré@injuring the engineer and fire‘man, §ad at Martinsburg, W. V., their -demoMStrations assumed the propor‘tions @F & riot. They attacked the military 86 that point, and one of their numBEF was shot. The Governor sent ‘the Bthews Guards .to Martinsburg “to a#BE in quelling the disturbance. . NOWEgight trains left Baltimore on “the &8, and probably .will not move until “the blockade at Martinsburg is removed: The strike is said to be confined fo firemen and brakemen in Baltimore and at Martinsburg. From Martinsburg the latest dispatches state that the strikers have absolute control -of everything. Passenger trains are not molested, and are running on time east and west. The town is wild with excitement, and the strikerg and their friends, numbering fully 1,000 men, are marching about bidding defiance to the military and authorities. Some seventy-five or eighty engines are congregated at Martinsburg, and none are allowed to depart. . A committee from the striking firemen have notified the enginéers that in case any engineer shall attempt to take a train out of town he will be immediately shot. ¢ \ Wednesday afternoon of last week the President received from Governor Matthews, of West Virginia, a telegram dated Wheeling, stating that the strikers on the B. & O. road had become so riotous that he was unable ‘to quell the disturbance with the forces at his command, and requesting that United States troops’be placed at his disposal to put down the mob. Upon the receipt of the telegram the Presi_dent sent for Secretary McCrary, who immediately repaired to the White House. After a shortdiscussion it was ‘decided that upon the information contained the calling out of United States troops would not be justified under the law, The Presidentdesired Secretary McCrary to telegram to Gov. Matthews for more explicit information on the subject. Secretary McCraIy received such supplementary information from Gov. Matthews that in his and the President’s opinion warranted the sending of troops to thé scene of the riot. Consequently an order was issued from the war department directing troops te be sent immediately to Gow. Matthew’s assistance. The troops ordered to Martinsburg were the 2d artillery, twelve officers and two hundred men from Washington arsenal; and eight officers and one hundred and twelve men from F't, *M(}Heﬂrwq‘ are under command of Gen. French. | They left almost immediately. S ' The President, Wednesday evening issued a proclamation ordering the rioters atMartinsburg to forgg;imﬁx disperse. . The proclamation says: Now, therefore, I, Rutherford B. layes, ;,Presg)dent of the United States; do ‘hereby admonish all good ecitizens of -the United States and all persons within theterritory and jurisdiction of the ‘United States against aiding, eoun- - tenancing, abetting, or taking part in such. unlawful proceedings, and I do hereby warn all persons engaged in, or connected: with, said domestic vio’lence and obstruction of the laws to disperse and retire peaceably to their respective abodes on or befoﬂe twelve o’clock noon of the 19th day of July. ' There has been nointerference whatever, on the part of the strikers, with the United States mails or passenger trains. Wednesday morning of last week the strikers sent a delegation to the machine and engine shop hands at Martinsburg, to say that if they did not quit work, they (the rioters) would turn them out by force. They gave the men until 12 o’clock to consider the demand. =At 12 o’clock the mel chanics and others went to dinner,and "returned.» at 1 o'clock, and resumed - wWork as usual. They were thereupon visited by another delegation of strikers, who asked them what they intended to do. The mechanies replied that they would go on working as usual,ne matter what resulted, intimating their determination to fight to the last for their gights. The rioters, on receiving this answer, began to assemble in -front of the machine and engine shops, but beyond loud threats, offered no violence. s Ee The strikers have possession of the road at Grafton, Martinsburg and Wheeling, and have stopped freight | trains at those points.

Their Operations on Friday. The strike of trainmen on the trunk lineg. has assumed formidable proportions. The Baltimore and Ohio road, under the protection afforded by United States troops, have commenced moving trains out from Martinsburg, but they are encountering trouble at Grafton, Keyser .and Cumberland.— The Maryland militia have been called out to protect the company’s property in that State, and enforce obedicence to the laws. In this connection ‘a very serious affair is reported from Baltimore. 'While a regiment of troops was movj:ﬁ along the streets of ‘Baltimore to takea train for the scene of disturbance the men were assaulted by a crowd of rOths, ‘and fired - into the crowd, killing and ‘wounding a large number.

Now that a breach - has been made by the indictment of Wells, Anderson, and their confederates in the barrier of fraud which surrounds Hayes, the tongues of those who took a minor part in the great conspiracy against the: people are loosened, and developments follow each other fast. "It is asserted by those who have taken pains to investigate the matter that two of the Hayes electors in Louisiana voted blank, and positively refused to sign the certificate, and that others present signed the names of the objecting members. It is alleged that this fact is well known to Packard, and that Kellog’s private secretary, H. Conquest Clarke, will testify to it under oath.

On Tuesday of last week, while helping to vhresh wheat near Terre Haute, Mr. Miles was engaged in hauling in wheat from the shock to the thresher, and came in with a load while the machine was idle and the hands had gone to dinner. A pitchfork with a broken handle which was used to pitch sheaves from the wagon to the feeding table, was thrust.in the ground and the litter of straw entirely concealed it. Mr. Miles swung kimself down from' the load directly above the fork, the handle of which was driven into the rectum several inchies, For afew days hislife was despaired of, but at the last accounts he was getting better with a prospect for his recovery.

Mr. Justice Miller and Matt Carpenter were always at loggerheads in the United States courtsin Wisconsin, and on one oceasion Mr. Carpenter playfully observed of the Judge’s ruling that he had seen such a ruling in a Pennsylvania. court where the other side bought up the Judge with half a bushel of beans. The court gave Matt one minute wherein to apologize, and he apologized in a neat little speech, concluding with the statement that if he had said a bushel of beans instead of half a bushel he would have been damned before hd would have reeanted.

AT the last session of the Legislature a law was passed declaring it unlawful for persons to get on or off railrouad cars or engines when in motion or switching., The penalty for violating the provisions of the law is a fine not exceeding $lO and gives to justices of the peace exclusive jurisdiction. As all the laws passed by the last Legislature are now in full foree and effect people should be careful to wait until trains come to a stand-still before getting on or off. -

L eß— e i How to Keep Well-Fruit as a Sum- .. mer Diet. - L New York Graphic. ' - 2o e The importance to health of eating plenty of fresh, ripe fruit:at this season of/the year can not be too strongly argued. Not imported tropical’ products, but the fruit of our own latitude and climate. Not green or rotten fruit. All the patent pills and half the physicians prescriptions for average human indisposition are. for one simple purpose—te drain the system of dead and injurious matter.— Headache, dullness, sluggishness, fever and two-thirds of the symptoms which precede some form or other of disease have their origin in imperfect human drainage, With a very.large proportion of people a eertain consumption of “ripe fruit will regulate this 'economy. It is better than any pill, for the action so induced. is regular and constant in proportion-{o the supply. At least, the uction of any drug is spasmodic. It is only a choice ‘between' two evils.; Fruit is a food and medicine also recommended to ‘the palate. ~lt nourishes and cleanses. “Yet thousands of people live on year after year whose daily experience is that of “not feeling very well,” whosé sole trouble is more or less constigé‘-j tion. ‘Fhe’burden of their diet is meats, salt and fresh bread and potatoes. Thus they go on perpetuating their misery and ignorant of theé sim. ple remedy within their reach. Or to effect the necessary aetion they use citrate; pills, aperients, and, occasionally; when an extra stoppage with all its disagreeable symptoms occurs, a dose of salts and 'sena, grgn‘barb‘ or “blue mass.” Of course alohg neglect of the clogged-up system renders such remedies imperatively necessary, The range of fruit is large. _Apples, pears, peaches, berries of various' sorts, prunes, and all of these dried for winter consumption. Try this remedy. Cut loose from doses, doctors, citrates and pills. Study the wormg-of;m:i own system. :No doctor can do this for you.

Sk e e “Let me put miy name down first— I can’t stay long!” e - It was a red ribbonr meeting, and the man was a locomotive engkng_'r, bronzed and strong and having eyes full of deep determination.

I shouldn’t miss it or be the worse off for an hour if all the intoxicating drink in the world was drained into the ocean.” £ H .. “But you seemed eager to sign the pledge.” . s mg; he “So I was, and I'll keep it Through thick and thin and talk:.temperanceto “every man on the rpad” . o “You must have strong reasons ?” " “Well, if you’ll walk down to the depot I'll tell you a-story on the way.— It hasn’t been in the papers, and only | a . few of us know the facts. Yen know I run the night express on ‘the B—— Road. Wealways have at least two sleepers and a coach, and sometimes we have as many as two hundred passengers. It's a good road, level as a floor and pretty straight, though there is a bad spot or two.— The hight express has the right o’ way, and we make fast time. It’s no rare thing fer us to skim along at the rate of fifty miles an hour for thirty or for1y miles, and we rarely go below thirty. - One night I pulled out of Detroit with; two sleepers, two coaches, and - the baggage -and mail cars. Nearly all the berths in both sleepers were full, and most of the seats in.the ‘coaches were occupied.- It was a dark ‘night, threatening all the time torain, and a lonesome wind whistled around the cab as we left the city behind. We were seventeen minutes-late, and that meant fast time all the way thtough ?” . “Well,” he continued ‘after a moment, “everythé‘:‘ng ran along all right up to midnight, - The main track was kept clear for us; the engine was in goed spirits, and we ran into D—— as smooth as you please. The express coming east should meet us fifteen miles west of D——, but the operator at the station had failed to receive his usual report from below. That was: strange, and yet it was not, and aftger_‘ a- little consulfation-the' conductor sent me ahead. We were to keep the main track, while the other ‘train would run in on the side-track. Night after night our time had been so close that we did not keep them waifing over two minutes, and were generally in sight when they switched in.” * “When we left D—— we went ahead at a rattling speed, fully believing that the other train would be on time, Nine miles from D— is the little Village of Parto. Thereisa | telegraph station there, but the operator has no night work. He closed his office and went home about 9 o’cloek, _and any message on the wires for him were held above or below uftil next morning. When I sighted this station I saw a red lantern swinging between the rails. Greatly astonished, -1 pulled up the heavy train and got a bit of news that almost lifted me out of my boots. ' It was God’s mercy, as plain as this-big depot. 1t was the operator who was swinging the lantern.— He had been roused from sleep by the whistles of a locomotive, when there wasn’t one within: ten miles of hin, He heard the toot! toot! toot! while - he was dressing, and all the way as he ran: to the- station, think King he had been signaled. Lo! there wasno train ' there. Everything was as quiet asthe grave. The man heard his instrument clicking away, and leaning his -ear against the window he caught these words as they went through to D =9 : : “For God’s sake, switch the Eastern express off quick! Engineer on the | Western express crazy drunk, and running a mile a minute!” T “The operator signaled us at once. We left D. nine miles away, and the messagé couldn’t have caught us anywhere except at- Parto. Six miles further down was the long switch.— |lt was time we were there, lacking one minute, ‘We lost two or three . minutes in understand_ing the situaFtion and in consulting, apd had just got ready to switch 1n where we were when the head-light of the other train -came into view. Great Heavens! but how ‘that train was flying and the whistle screaming, and not a man of us could raise.ahand. Waestood there -on the main track, spell-bound as it . were. There wouldn’t have been time, anyhow, either to have switched. in or got the passengersout. Itwasn't. over sixty seconds before thah train was upon us.
