Pain in the .Back and Side. - There is nothing more painful than these diseases; but the pain can be removed and the disease cured by use of Perry Davis' Pain Killer. This remedy is not a cheap Benzine or Petroleum product that must be kept away from Are or heat to avoid danger of explosion, nor is it an untried experi ment that may do more harm than good. Pain Killer has been in constant use for forty years, and the universal testimony from all parts of the world is, It never falls. It not only effects a permanent cure, but it relieves pain almost Instantaneously. Being a purely vegetable remedy, it Is safe in the hands of the most Inexperienced. The record of cures by the use of Pain Killeb would fill volumes. The following extracts from letters received show what those who have tried it think: Edgar Cady, Owatonna, Minn., says : About a year since my -wife became subject to severe suffering' from rheumatism. Our resort was to the Path ILllleb, which speedily relieved her. Charles Powell writes from the Bailors' Home, London : I had been afflicted three years with neuralgia and potent spasms of the stomach. The doctors at Westminster Hospital gays up my case In despair. I tried your Pain KrLLEE,a3a it gave me immediate relief. I have regained my atrength, and am now able to follow my usual occupation. O. H. Walworth. Saco, Me., writes : I experienced immediate relief from pain In the side by the use of your Pain Ktt.t.th, E. York says : I have used your Pad Ktixtr for rheumatism, ana have received great benefit. Barton Seaman says : , Have used Pain Enm for thirty rears, and have found it a never-failing remedy for rheumatism and lameness. Mr. Burditt writes : JAn!T'oi'f to S78 reUef in cases of rheumatism. Phil. Gilbert, Somerset, Pa., writes : From actual use, I know your Pain Ktt.t.-eti, Is the beet medicine I can get. All druggists keep Pact Killer. Its price Is so low that It is within the reach of all, and It will save many times Its cost in doctors bills. 25c., 50c. and Sl.OO a bottle, PERRY DAVIS & SON, Proprietors, Providonco, R. . sept dSw sept a oct.

It is said that the Emperor Francis Joseph contemplates the erection of a charitable institution on the site of the Ring Theatre in Vienna, recently des troyed by fire. Policeman Bernard Fitzpatrick, who shot and killed officer Thos. J. Norton, on Sunday night last in New Yory, while the latter was in discharge of his duty, surrendered himself Wednesday. He refuses to answer any questions, ouly admitting that he was Fitz patrick. The United States officers yesterday arrested William J. Brown, the book keeper of the Poughkeepsie (N.Y.) Bank. A warrant -is out for the arrest of Halloway, the defaulting teller. The latter is yet in the hospital. At a special meeting of the stock holders of the Manhattan Elevated Railway Company Wednesday, it was resolved to sanction and authorize the increase of the capital stock of the company by $13,000,000, making with the existing capital stock, $26,000,000. The Connecticut tobacco crop, accord ing to a great variety of carefully gath ered information published in the Springfield Republican, is one of more than usual excellence, which is curing well: and will command an average of several cents a pound more than that of last year. The heirs of the Jennings estate in England held another annual meeting in Camden, N. J., Tuesday. Mr. Cook, who is now in London working up the case, states that the money left in trust will soon be forthcoming, but that he needs money to carry on the case. Quite a large number of persons inter ested were in attenance, and a collec tion was taken up, Detective Edward T. Williams and Frederick Lewis, who were arrested Tuesday night in New Yory for con spiring to entrap Simon Uhlman into an indiscretion so that the latter's wife might procure a divorce, had a hearing in general sessions yesterday. They gave bail in $3,000 each. Thos. P. Jones, the third one of the conspirators, has been arrested. Judge Horrigan, of the Criminal -Court of Memphis, Tenn., a few days ago issued an order directing the snerin to visit all the hotel keepers of the city and demand of them all the pistols and unlawful weapons deposited with them by guests. The judge says the weapons so obtained will be held and impounded as evidence of crime. The Confederate Treasure- The Amount Kepi y to $ta,feiunt in the Philadelphia " Pre." Richmond Dispatch. The Philadelphia Press represents General Joseph Johnson as making the following statement with regard to the amount of treasure in the possession of the Confederate Government at the close of the war, and which was carried south under the charge of President Davis : " He told me (General Beaure gard) that h3 was convinced that the President had $2,500,000 in specie at Greensboro'." General Johnson is then represented as saying, "I have no doubt but that General Beauregard's estimate was within bounds." In view of the foregoing publication, I feel it to be a duty that I owe to the late President, as well as to the South ern people generally, to publish the fol lowing statement, which I received this day from a well-known and highly -respectable gentleman of this city. He affirms that the money at that time in the Treasury was placed in his posses sion; that he carried it to the office Of the Richmond and Danville De pot, and weighed it, and that there was in silver bullion 1,400 pounds, gold coin 1,000 pounds, and 58 kegs of Mexican dollars con taining $5,000 each the whole aggre gating in round numbers something like $550,000. This treasure was carried by him and others in special charge of it to Abbeville, South Carolina, where it was delivered to Gen. Reagan. This gentleman expressed the positive be lief that the-most of this treasure was paid out to the Confederate soldiers, a large number of whom were in that vicinity. He also states that Mr. Davis was not at any time with the train, and that he had nothing whatever to do with the Confederate funds which it contained. If Gen. Johnston really made the statement to the Philadelphia Press which it attributes to him it is now in order to correct it. A publica tion like that in, the Press should not be allowed to go into history, as it would be not only a libel on President Davis, whose integrity has never been questioned, but it would cast a serious reflection upon the whole Southern people, whose chief head and represent ative he was. M. Richmond, Va., Dec. 21, 1881. ' The Arteelan WeU, Durham Kef order. For months our people, yea the State, has been on tiptoe with anxiety about W. T. Blackwell & Co's artesian well. The long looked for event water flow ing out the top of the well happened Monday. Our learned State geologist, Prof. W. C. Kerr, last year made a thorough examination, and after ma ture deliberation, give it as his positive opinion, that there could not be a flow ing well gotten in Durham, owing to the peculiar formation. He gave an elaborate report, showing the many reasons why such a well could not be obtained. For the past eight months Capt. O. R. Smith, and Mr. R. Dicker son have been boring the well, confi dent of success from he beginning, But on Monday when the pure water began to gush out of the well they claj ped their hands and rejoiced at their success. All are now convinced that man does not know what is contained in the bowels of the earth, and that the opinion of a gegjqgist is not infallible, however learned he may be. The well is now seventeen hundred feet deep, and they are working night and day to complete it by 4888, The vein they struck is not strong enough to cause tha vaatar tn nnnt.innn to flow, but suf ficient to keep the well filled to the top. As soon aa iney striae one more vein they will have sufficient water. Afloat Again. Haifax, Dec. 22.

Loold by the Baehel Cre&t Yellow Naggretsj nyatericras TelegramsA Fortune for Somebody Lenoir Topic. Some months since a rieh Northern company bought a gold mine in this county from a citizen of Caldwell and went tp work to develop it. Although they have made nothing public, it has all along been known that they were satisfied with their purchase. They have employed a considerable number of hands and the result of their work is said to have been remunerative. It is said in the neighborhood that a vein was struck last week, which yielded a half bushel of gold 01 e to a bushel of diggings. Upon this fkd, a man was sent post-baste to the neaicsb telegraph station, and the joyful tidings were wired to the central office of the com pany in New York. Very soon a pre ternaturally large nugget was found, and a second telegram was sent. In a short while, a nugget much largeruid more valuable than the other Was found, and a third telegram was sent to New York. This is the outside . report which is no doubt considerably exag gerated ; but there is certainly quite a stir in mining circles which indicates a rich find. We hope it may be true. Guiteau in a Rage, Poor Scoville has a hard time with Guiteau, and the .wonder is that he does not throw up his case in disgust. The following is an extract from the proceedings in the trial last Wednes day. - The prisoner (in a rage). You are -as stupid, Scoville, as the witness is. You are just compromising my case every time on cross-examination, You are not fit to be on this case at all. If I had some first-clas"s criminal lawyer he would show you how to do this busi ness. I would have got John D. Town send, of New York, or Judge Magruder, of Maryland, if you had not shored them off with your confounded vanity and egotism. You are no more fit to manage this case than a ten-year-old school boy. You have no ability in ex amining witnesses. Your business is in examining titles. You had no busi ness to come here at all and compro mise me with your blunderbuss way. The witness (in answer to the ques tion). I should reply sane to any one of those propositions taken separately, without modifying circumstances. Witness denied that he received any money for coming into court, and said, he had made no contracts for pay ments. The prisoner broke out into another invective against Mr. Scoville, telling him that he was a consummate fool; that he had better go back to Chicago at once, and that he seemed to be working for the government insteadof the defense. Mr. Scoville presented to the witness a postal card, which the witness admit ted having written, dated Salem, Mass., 24th November, saying: "Accept my congratulations on the manner in which you have conducted the defense. It may not be popular, but it is right and just." The witness added that he saw no reason to take it back at the time it was written. Again the prisoner broke out against Mr. Scovilie. It is an outrage on jus tice, he said, for this man to come here. He has had no experience in criminal matters, and he is compromising my case. I here require him publicly to get out of the case. I would rather take my chance, even at this late hour, with Charlie Reed, who is a first-class criminal lawyer, than with this idiot, who is compromising my case all the time. He has no wit, no sense, and be tween Corkhill and him I have a pret ty hard time. Laughter, which seemed to put the prisoner in better humor and in which he joined. Mr. Scoville, who had borne every thing heretofore with apparent equa nimity, seemed to feel very keenly this last evidence of heartless ingratitude. His voice trembled and for- a minute he was unable to go on. Even the pris-J oner realized the injustice or his con duct and hastened' to apologize, say ing: "You are doing very well, Scoville ; to the best of your ability." Several times afterwards during the examination of Dr. Worcester Guiteau denounced Mr. Scoville. At one time Mrs. Scoville reached over o speak to Guiteau, when he snarled at her: "You keep your mouth shut. You're as big a fool as your husband. You're a crank on this business." The cross-examination continued for awhile, until finally the prisoner shout ed : Scoville, you should have let the man go two honrs ago. If I were in dicted for manslaughter and Scoville defended me I would be hanged for for murder. If you had let this this man go two hours ago it would have been better for the defense. To the Court I tell him to get out of the case. He s ruining my case. He is not fit to try it." Mr. Scoville (with an air of patient resignation). No one realizes that more than I do." The prisoner (in a fury). Then get out of the case, you consummate idiot! Youhave got no more brains for this kind of work than a fool. You compro mise my case in every move you take. If you had let that man go at one o'clock he would have done me no harm. Mr. Scoville. If the Court please, 1 have no more questions to ask the wit ness. The prisoner. You had better get off the case. I expect that the Almighty, notwithstanding Scoville's asinine char acter, will see that I am protected; I expect that it will take a special act of God to da it. . Then there was an altercation, con ducted in a lower tone' of voiee, be tween the prisoner and his sister, in which he went over much of the game ground and said that it would be well for him if all his relatives had died twenty years ago. mm - York (Pa.)
