Vi iTU HIS OWN HAM). Newte* Ashby Mortally Wounds Him self While Mentally Depressed. Newton Ashby, a well-known citi son of Patoka township, residin' within about three miles of Winslow shot hintself in the forehead last Mon day morning while in a state of menta aberatioia. The ball entered the heat on the right side of the forehead ant passing through made an eruption it the side of the head above the righ ear. Into this part an opening wai made by the surgeons, but the bal having deflected it could not be found No probing was done, as his recovery would be almost a miracle. Tht brains oozed from the aperture in tht forehead, and the left side is in a paralyzed stale, lie is most of the time unconscious, but may live-two or three days. I)rs. Adams & Fullenwidei were called in consultation, and bath the gentleman say it is quiet impossible for the unfortunate man to recover. When asked why he attempted his own life he said he must not have been in his right Blind, 'f he sad occurrence easts a gloom over the entire community, and Mr. Ashby’s friends throughout the county sympathize with him in his great affliction. _^Alr. Ashby has been in poor health, for three or four years, and recently lost a wife and a few years ago a daughter. Theirdemise and his poor health no doubt caused a great de- - pression of Iris mental fadties aud led to the act of takitft his own life. y It is with pleasure that the Democrat notes the addition of; well-in-formed professional men to the ranks of local physicians and surgeons. l)r. Isom 11. Wilson registered several days ago. He graduated in dentistry aud practiced it three years; studied medicine with Dr. G. L. Parr, in Dubois county two years, and entered Miami Medical College, where he remained three successive years, graduating in 1881; then took an eightmonths, special course with the great oculist, Dr. E. Williams, of Cincinnati, and also afterwards took special courses in surgery, obstetrics and diseases of women Dr. Wilson located at Loogootee in the spring of 1881, where he practiced very successfully until his removal here last May. lip deserves to succeed, and is being rewarded with a good pratiee here.

The Medical Society of the county met in this place on Thursday last, and was Well attended. The society recommended the strict etfoicement of the new medical law. A committee was appointed to “investigate” a member of their society. We are not informed what tjie charges are; hut a committee was appointed to inquire into tire matter, which committee insets to-day and and will report to the Medical Society next Thursday. We arc told that quite a lively session was had on account of the above “investigation,” the fiual result of which will he known in one week. The new mill at Otwell will be 6f brick, iron roof, and will have the roller process machinery. -Petersburg and Pike county will surpass all neighboring towns and counties when it comes to comparing mill facilities. These improvements will be of manifold advantage to "the farmer, as well as to the general public.The flour will give satisfaction. Large quantities of flour is shipped from the mills at this place to various markets, besides that furnished to the local idealel's. Mrs. Nancy Davis, of Monroe township, who lives between Arthur and Oakland City, was in town, Monday, on business connected with her pension. Mrs. Davis is 91 years old, and is a pensioner of the war of 1812. She is strong and vigorous for her age; the only failure, physically, being her eyesight, as she can just distinguish daylight from darkness. Her husbands name was Jesse Davis. Wo had first the ministers in Conference, last week the doctors in session as the County Medical Society, and this week the Teachers' Institute. Petersburg is fast becoming the place for the gathering of all prominent assemblages. These three are the ground work of all that is spiritual, physical and mental. The good people of the town made them welcome during their stay., Wm. Merrick shipped 6,000 bushels of wheat from Winslow la® week. He ships to Louisville via the Air Line, hauling the wheat from this place to Winslow. There is certainly “a screw loose” somewhere when a man hauls his wheat nine miles to make a shipment over auother line, when we have a railroad running through our place. At the Clerk's office Friday morning, Wm. E. Stone and Flora E. Newkirk, were joined in the holy bonds of matrimony by the Rev. J. W. Richardson.

MeAtee, who lives withiu three miles of Union, raises the boss potatoes. Sixty-eight of them make a “big” bushel. From five potatoes he planted in one part of his patch, he got three and one-half bushels. They are of the Early Kansas variety. A thief raised the sash of one of the windows of John Turner's barber shop, Thursday niglit, entered, and after taking an inventory of the shop, selected two or three of John’s razors and departed. John and Chris are “laying” for the fellow. Anyone wanting a suit of clothing, a nice hat, or anything in the line of gents furnishinggoods, will do well to call on Montgomery, Hammond & Hudson, as they have just received a new stock. We want ten cords of stove-wood on subscription before the had weather sets in. If \ eu want to pay your subscription that way, briug along the wood. The tin roof was placed on the jail this week, and at this writing the cells are being put in positio t. The jail will be ready to receive prisoners next week.

METAL POISON I am a coppersmith by trade, and during a series of years my arms (being bare when al work' have absorbed a wonderful amount ol metal poison. Having a scrofulous tendenev from my youth, the small particles of coppet and brass would get into the sores, and bv this the poison was conveyed into my Mood till my wliole system became infected. 1 was treated with the old remedies of mercury and iodide potassium. Salivation followed, niv teeth are all loose in my head, niv digestive organs deranged, and I have been "helpless in bed for oyer a year with mercurial rheumatism. JIv joints were ail swollen, and I lost the use of my arms and legs, and became helpless as an infant. My sufferings became so intense that it was impossible for me jo rest. The doctors advised me to go to the city hospital for treatment. This 1 could not ; bear. A friend, who has pros ed a friend indeed urged me to try Swift's Specific, believing it would cure me." others discouraged me, but 1 secured a few bottles and have now taken two dozen bottles. The first eftCet of the medicine was to bring the poison to the surface, and 1 broke out all over iu running sores. They soon disappeared, and tny Skin cleared oft'. My knees, which had become twice their natural sige, have resumed their usual size, andavesuppie as of yore. My arms ami hands are all rigid again", ami can use them without pain. The entire disease bus left all parts of the ImkIv save two ulcers on my wrists, which are heating rapidly, l am weak from long confinement, but I have the use of all my limbs. This medic:tie is bringing me out of the greatest trial of me life, and 1 cannot find words sufficient to express tny appreciation of its virtues, and the gratitude 1 feed that I ever heard of it.
