Tragi? But Funny. Somerset, Ky.. February 8.—A most singular ami mysterious death has just j occurred at Tatevillc, a little village south of here. One of the principals in the strstnge affair is James Barnett, who came home yesterday, and after eating a hearty dinner went out into the yard t> chop wood. A few moments a:ter h came in the house and told his wife l> call in his friends, that ho ‘would be a ■ dead man in an hour.” She started out and got a lot of friends, and when they came he was dead. A short time after a son in-law of ihe man came and ate at the same table, and becoming deathly sick threw up his dinner. A dog eat the vomit and died in five minutes, but tho strange part of the busines is to come. When Barnett was laid out on the cooling board, a large, strange cat came into the room, and as soon as he caught sight of | i tho dead man, turned over on his head, and continued standing in that position. He was kicked aside, but wou.d fall on his head. Becoming troublesome bo was killed, but when caught a strange gurgling was heard in his throat,like that

of a strangled man.

No clue to the death of Barnett has been found, but tho people say that his wife threatened to kill her husband.

[The Permanent Cure of Catarrh T III n T 313 m UNT JS-GrO )jjCATARRH was considered an incurable disease. I had then suffered (||for eighteen years. I was first attacked by a slight cold, followed with deafness and ringing in the ears, soreness of the throat, disgusting nasal discharges, weak, inflamed eyes, hawking, rising of vile matter, black and sometimes bloody mucus, coughing, with great soreness of the lungs. The liver and stomach were polluted with the diseased matter running from the head. Compelled to resign my pastorate, I compounded my CATARRH SPECIFIC, and . cured myself. Now at the age of sixty-seven, I can speak for hours with no difficulty, and never have had in the whole thirteeen years the slightest return of the disease.
