Mr. Elick obtained this curiosity, and by his skill as a tax idermist has the calf in a folding case which cost $125. He has been offered, he says, 1,500 for the case with the cu riosity calf in it.

After raising a din that would have been a credit to Dante as a chapter in his "Inferno,' the dogs came off victorious killing the animal. John says the cat would measure full three feet in length. The dogs were pretty badly used up. Morganton Herald: One hun dred and twenty dollars per acre for to bacco is an average for six years in Burke county.

The quantity of urine passed was greatly in excess of the natural se cretion, and 1 lost forty pounds of flesh in a few months.

I had only used the Water one week when I was en tirelyvrelieved of pain, which before had been constant and at times acute, and I have gained nineteen pounds in flesh, with a restoration of strength and energy. I gave the Water a fair test, using no other water and taking no medicine. H. C. GREGORY. Amelia C. H., Va., December 15, 1886.
