ON THE ENGINE.

Running a Locomotive While Deathly Sick—Something the Passengers Did Not Know—A Physician

Saves an Engineer.

TAUNTON, MASS.

Dr. David Kennedy, Handout, N Y.: DKAR SIR: I am an engineer on th® Old Colony Railroad, and run the fall River boat train between Fall River and Lowell, residing in Taunton. For ten years I suffered everything but deatk from dyspepsia. Often I had such blinding sick headache that I could scarcely see. I think this was due partly to irregular habits of eating, and partly to the jar of the engine. Sometimes my head would snip like neuralgia, and again the pain would settle in my eyes, which would feel as big as a man's fists. My breath was very offensive, and my food soured as soon as it entered my stomach. In fact my stomach felt as though it were a great raw and sore surface, and what agony it gave perhaps you can imagine.

In the summer and fall of 1876 when we had the heavy centennial travel, the constant jar brought on acute attacks nearly every week and I thought I should have to leave the road. But I kep a work until the next spring, when I grew so mu worse that I could virtually eat nothing, Bnd excluded that my labor, and my life too, were abo£ over.

Remember that I had tried every medicine I heard of, and had been treated by some of thet best physicians in Taunton and Lowell. At this critical time Dr. David Kehnedy's Favorite Remedy was recommended to me. It was new to me, and with my experience of medicines, you can ensily forgive mo for saying that I had not a p&r< i)cle of faith in it.

I had taken it but a few days when I began to et better. The raw and sore feeling left my omach, and the snapping pains left my head, ind soon I was all right, and have been ever since. It is the only thing that ever did me the least good, and it drove every ache, pain and discomfort completely out of my body. Now I keep Kennedy's Favorite Remedy with me on my en gine, and it goes wherever 1 go.

Why, I believe Favorite Remedy will cure any thing. One night, a while ago, John Lay ton, an engineer who runs the main line boat train from oston, came on ray engine sick as death. He as worn out with work.had a high fever, and was 3 nervous he almost broke down crying. "Nonsense, John," I said "cheer up, I've got something on my engine that will set you up in a jiffy." I took out my bottle of Favorite Remedy, lifted his head and gave him a good dose. He went to bed. Two days after I saw him looking healthy as a butcher. "Dan," he said, "what was that stuff you gave me the other night f" "It was Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, Rondout, N. Y.," said I. "Well, I don't care whose Remedy it is, it's the thing for a man on the railroad." So say we all.

Yours^ etc., DANIKL FITTS.

This preparation goes to the root of disease by purifying the blood and rousing every organ into healthy action. It is useful at home, shops, in office—everywhere.

iijto v-

From Thursday's dally.

The exercises at the old settlers meeting yesterday afternoon were most interesting, and call for a more extended account than could bo given in yesterday's issue, which contained everything up to a late hour. ........

HON. B. C. HOBBS

was the first speaker of the afternoon. Mr. Hobbs resides in Parke county, and although never a resident of Terre Haute, he is one of the old settlers of the Wabash Valley. Mr. Hobbs related much of interest particularly in regard to the early schools of Indiana. s?:

UNCLE CHARLEY NOBLE. "vA

iU'

Mr. C. T. Noble told of his arrival here in 1823, and spoke of James and Harry Boss, who came here in 1825 as the only two who could equal him in continuous residence in Terre Haute. He was a school teacher when young, and C. W. Barbour, another old settler, was one of his pupils. The first Sunday school in the county was started by two sisters of John F. Cruft, they coming here in 1829 or 1830.

Mr. Noble said that he and Samuel Hedges who afterwards moved to Quincy were teachers in this Sunday school. In 1829 Mr. Noble took a census of Terre Haute, and found there were eighty-three families and 558 inhabitants. In 1835 a man named Chase bet Henry Bose $10 that Terre Haute had 1,500 inhabitants. Mr. Noble took the census for them and found that it had 183 families and exactly 1200 inhabitants.

Mr. Noble praised the method of teaching in his day, and very much preferred the church singing then to the machine music made by a $3,000- organ, In mentioning old families in the neighborhood, Mr. Noble spoke of the Tuttles, Markles, Mitchells, Joneses, Brothertons, Jenckes, Brown, Turner, Bentley, Winters, Isaac C. Elston, Ethan Pollock, Wm. C. Linton and the Boss Brothers, who established a brick yard in 1834 on ground now owned by Mrs. Clippenger near the Poor farm. The first brick house in Terre Haute was built by Jno. Britton fr5m home-made brick on the spot now occupied by Nichols* grocery on First street. It was very small.

There were only two praying men in Terre Haute then, said Mr. Noble. They were Thos. Parsons, father of Prof. Parsons of the Normal, and Jno. F. Cruft.

At the conclusion of Mr. Noble's remarks, Mr. Jos. Blake moved that Mr. Noble be requested to furnish the secrefary with a copy of each census taken by him. Mr. Noble consented to do so.

CAPT. GEO. BOORD.

Captain George Boord came to Indiana in 1815. He left Bourbon county with the iptention of coming to Ft. Hairison, but was tcld that it was not safe on account of the Indians, and accordingly settled in Orange Co. That was before Wm. Haggott had selected the site for the Terre Haute company. His father came to Terre Haute on January 22nd, 1822. Mr. Bood related many interesting tales of the Indians, *.

COL. T. H. NELSON.

Col. Thos. H. Nelson was loudly called for,andwith some diffiuculty was induced to overcome the natural diffidence of youth, and step upon the stage. In reply to Capt. Potter, Col. Nelson said that he came to this city in 1844, and therefore at the present time just 41 years of age. Col. Nelson came to Terre Haute on horseback from Maysville, Ky. The day after he arrived he went down to Middleton to he?r Col. Thompson make a campaign speech for' Clay against. Polk. Col. Thompson was on the ticket for presidential election for this district. The well known Austin Puitt was his opponent in the debate. .Col. Nelson went to Parke county to reside and said that he purchased the first bottle of champagne, the first can of oysters, and the first paino which came to Parke county. The Colonel related a very entertaining incident of the occasion when he and exGov. Hammond made the acquaintance of Abraham Lincoln, in a stage coach between Terre Haute and Indianapolis.

CAPT. POTTER.

Thejlast address of the afternoon was made by Capt. S. H. Potter, who spoke for a few minutes, and related many incidents of the-early business life of the city. The meeting then adjourned.

Mr. Griswold's Letterf^*^

The GAZETTE'S report of the Old Settlers' Meeting yesterday was so extended that it was impossible to place in type the letter of Mr. W. D. Griswold, but as there is considerable inter est expressed to see it the letter is here with given in full:

ST. LOUIS, June 6th, 1885.

James Hook, Esq.: MY DEAR SIR—I have just received a call to Vermont to see a sick brother— my only brother and the last of my blood before my. children. I must start the first of the ensuing week, so I must forego the pleasure which I would greatly enjoy to meet all my earliest living associates in Terre Haute at the gathering contemplated. I am particularly sorry, since there are so few left— very few, indeed, who were there when I arrived there. I had the impression that you came shortly after me, but infer from your letter that you preceded me. Mr. Noble and D. S. Danaldson are the only ones living who I can this moment call to mind as being in Terre Haute when I entered the town. I came there on foot from the North. Walked in mud ankle deep from Otter creek in February, 1838. The first person I saw was S. D. Dole, who you buried a few days ago. I stopped at Clarke's tavern (lately Boord's). Dole and William Early were sitting in the door. I did not know any person in the town and I had not the amount of fifty cents in my pocket. I spent thirtythree of the happiest years of my life in Terre Haute. Ought never to have left. It broke a social chord which never could be repaired. Can't make an old tree grow in strange soil. As regards money or money values, I may have gained, but that is nothing alongside of those riches which rest in old friendship and the sensibilities which grow from them. rpa.

In Terre Haute I did some things which I regret, but not many. And such as they were they did not grow from any deflection of principle or badness of heart, but from misapprehension of facts or error of judgment.

We never shall see again in this country the opportunities which were enjoyed in the years when I lived in Terre Haute for building up a state of personal wealth or independence from nothing. We never shall see again the display of unselfish qualities in individual character which the conditions then existing developed. Now, life is a struggle of competition and every dollar is like a kernel of

Corn

thrown out to a

million of chickens. All is heartless scramble. Even the displays of religion aad charity are too generally overweighted with show and vanity. The great differences wrought in these moral conditions on this continent less than the period of two generations are a natural prodigy. We have no account in all civilized history of such a sudden transformation, and it baffles sill the efforts of reason or judgment to foresee or predict the public consequences. But the scene will multiply in force and will not be closed in

Our

time.

It gives me pleasure to hear from you and to be thus awakened into a view of so many sleeping recollections.

Hoping that the old citizens ixiay have a good time and that you may enjoy a prolonged old age in health and quiet,

Very sincerely your friend, W. D. GRISWOLD:
