Such was the condition of affairs at the close of last summer and a little later it was understood that Mr. Prendergast was getting better and on the way to recovery. Lately one 'of his friends while in the Herald sanctum remarked, “Prendergast is on his feet again and as sound as a. bell.” Inquiry naturally followed as to what had pnoduced this remarkable result and we wé‘re informed that his recovery was solely to the use of Dri VVilliams' Pink Pills f r Pale People. The Herald had published t is particulars of many remarkable cures . this remedy, and while not by ny means sceptical. felt a strong desire verify a case in our locality, d accordingly drove to Mr. Prender- g st’s. On reaching the house it was as- c rtained that Mr. Prendergast was some istance away in the field mending a fence. hither the scribe wended his way, meet- ing with cordial welcome and an invitation to come back to the house to dinner. After dinner We urged him to tell about the re- markable change that had taken place in his condition. At first he was inclined to put us off, saying that he hated to think of the old days of agony and misery. How- ever, at last he told us all he had undergone, his story bearing out what has been said concerning his condition. The J0y0|l§ AN ESS Rochester, a. former resident of this village, is known to almost all in this section, and is warmly esteemed by all himcquaintances. It is well known that Mr. Prendergnst Went‘through a terrible siege of suffering. and that few of his friends had any hope of his recovery. Mr. Preudergast’s trouble Was chronic enteritis, (intestinal inflam- mation) and what he suffered at times can scarcely be described. Hundreds of dol- lars were spent in medical treatment but without avail. Sedatives, stimulants. tonics and external applications, etc., were successively tried with little or no result. Brief temporary relief might ensue ; it was always very brief when the dread tormentor returned to smite him with fresh agony. In this condition Mr. Prendergast continued until last summer, when the physician frankly told him that his case was incur- able. The news came as aterrible shock to his wife and children. Long before this, after a manful struggle, he had been forced to give up work on his farm, but there had always been hcpes of his recovery to buoy up his family and friends. But the state- ment that his case was considered incurable was like a stroke of impending doom, and his friends constantly dreaded to hear that he was no more. After the doctors had given him up. his wife, hoping against hope, had urged him to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. He scout- ed the idea at first, saying that these things were all-humbugs. At last, more to please his Wife than anything else, he sent to Com- ber for some of the Pink Pills. He had not taken them many days when he found they were giving him relief. The pain lessened, his appetite began to return, and so did hope and confidence. He procure l another supply and found himself growing daily strobger. He felt that he could Walk gh the fields without the fear of being an down by a sudden pain. Later he ed work on his farm and found to his ment that he could do a hard day's Without fatigue. In a word that he completely recovered. He had taken Villial ’ Pink Pills at the outset with- ope o benefit, and merely to please his fe ; now he finds them a. life boat and an ark of safety. Dr. \Villiams’ Pink Pills for Pale People are manufactured by the Dr, Williams’ Medicine 00., of Brockville, Ont., and Schenectady, N. Y., a firm of unquestioned reliability. Pink Pills are not looked upon as a patent medicine, but rather a prescrip. tion. An analysis of their properties shows that they contain, in a. condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shat- tered nerves. They are an unfailing speci- fic for such diseases as locmnotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effects of Is. grippe, palpitation of the heart, and the tired feeling resulting from nervous prostration ; all diseases de- pending upon vital hnmors in the blood, such as scrofuln, chronic erysipelas, etc. Asa remedy for building anew the blood, enabling the system to successfully resist disease, Dr. \Villiams’ Pink Pills siands far in advance of any other remedy known to medical science. Pink Pills are a specific for the troubles peculiar to the female sys- tem, giving a rosy, healthy glow to pale or sallow complexions. In the case of men they efiect a radical cure in allcases arising from mental worry, overwork, or excesses of any nature. Dr. Williams’ Pills are sold only in boxes bearing the firm's trade marl: and wrapper, (printed in red ink). Bear in mind that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are never sold in bulk, or by the dozen or hundred, and any dealer that offers substitutes in this form is trying to defraud you and should be avoi l- ed. l‘he public are also cautioned against other so-called blood builders and nerve tonics, put up in similar form intended to deceive. They are all imitations whose makers hope to reap a. pecuniary advantage from the wonderful reputation achieved by Dr. Williems’ Pink Pills. Ask your dealer for Dr. Williums’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and refuse all imitations and substitutes. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills may be had of all druggists or direct by mail from Dr. Wili- iems’ Medicine Company from either ad- dress at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.- 50.

MIRACLE. «11’ Taking term 13 avoi [- against L nerve Professor \Viggins was interviewed by a correspondent the other day as to why he retired from predicting storms, cyclones, earthquakes, etc. He said he did so for several reasons. He could not afford to pursue the subject further, there being no financial reward. He had spent all his spare time during the past fifteen years in studying the relation of the planets to at- mospheric phenomena on the earth. The press has persisted in its refusal to acknowl- edge his predictions as based on science by their attacks upon him and sarcasm, in the face of the clearest fulfilment of his predic- tions. This was also shown in its continu‘ ally dubbing him as a. “ weather prophet," as if he made his weather and seismic warn- ings by consulting a mysterious oracle, when, as is well known, he has a. horror of superstition or belief in anything incapable of scientific proof. Asked if he believed in the great cataclysms recorded in Genesis, like the flood and the fall of man, he said yes,because they can be proved by memin- ology, a new science he has discovered and is about to publish. He pronounced the barometer the greatest scientific fraud of the century and contends that it constantly delays ships by falling when there is no storm approaching, and not falling when a storm is at hand, and thus causes shipwrecks. He says since he began his weather predictions till last year when he ceased making them, the loss of shipping both in America and in Europe decreased twenty per cent., but will increase on his retirement, for no one living except himself can predict the coming of a great storm , and all a weather bureau can do is to telegraph ahead of it. His scienti- fic discoveries are the new theory of the solar system, making the sun an electric body which hurls the comets through space by its positive and negative forces, first pub- lished in his architecture of the heavens in 1864, and it is now accepted by astroromers that there is no light in space but only in the atmosphere of the planets ; that the j nearer a planet is to the sun the lower its temperature, as witness the snow-caps ou the poles of Mars compared with those on the earth ; that the earth possesses a second but dark satellite which eclipsed the sun, May 16, 1884, which was witnessed at the same moment by persons living in Michigan and British Columbia ; that there is a great gulf stream in the atmosphere over North America, constantly running eastward and which would always cause west winds but for the transverse surface currents beneath it ; that telegraph wires cause drought and that the atmosphere cannot absorb moisture unless charged with electricity,because there would be no force to prevent the aqueous particles enclosed from forming drops and beingprecipitated. Hesays electricity exists only on the surface of bodies ; that on a pro’late spheroid, like an egg, it will collect at the longer axis or poles and in an oblate spheroid, like the earth, at the equator, hence the constant rain within the tropics. If, however, there are elevated spots on a. sphere it will collect on these, and.therefore, ‘ on the earth continents. Should these spots or continents be connected by wires it may accumulate in each alternately. This has happened this year, and America. has all the electric energy and Europe has lost it, so that our continent is flooded and Europe is burnt up with drought. A thun- der cloud that should water the country from Philadelphia to New York on crossing telegraph wires has its electric energy dis- persed and it preCipitates hail or flood by the cloud becoming a vacuum. Bury all the wires, and cyclones and drought, except in rare instances, will disappear from our con- tinent. Asked why he did not publish his mathematical problem for quaring thecircle , he said he had heard for years that Euro- pean governments and universities had of- fered valuable prizes for the solution and he was waiting to learn the truth or false- hood of these reports. If he published it now five hundred persons would rise up and claim they had drawn the same figure fifty years ago. â€"/mfi-amfli__4‘_F-1fif~r-mmâ€"qAâ€"sn AnsrnInâ€"vfim 4...».-. fle Decries a.

Learning from a. hand- bill that this amiable Briton had assisted at 500 executions, and had hanged 193 people with his own hands, the writer took the place of the timid yet curious citizen and paid the penitent finisher of the law a. visit on the first evening. The reason he gives for his public appearances is that “ his experiences lead him to advocate the abolition of capital punishment.” The ex- hangman is about 40 years of age. Mr. Berry, who speaks with a. strong Yorkshire intonation, Wisely prefaced his remarks as follows : “ The position in which I appear before you requires a. little explanation, because it is the first time an executioner ever ap- peared before the public to advocate the abolition of capital punishment.” In the course of a somewhat discursive and con- versational lecture he ran over in detail many of the scenes in connection with re- cent executions in various parts of the United Kingdom, scenes in the condemned Janus Berry Trlla Illa Exgerleuce In a Leclure. many cent Unite cell, bringing out; atron who had once Buffet servitude never tails to express himsen as being thankful he was sentenced to be hanged rather than to be sent back to the hulks. Few criminals, he avers, would prefer a second term of penal servitude if they had the choice of the gallows. This fact, coupled with the experience that capi- tal punishment is no deterrent to crime“ there being now more murders in the country} than everâ€"has mainly influenced him. He gives as a. proof of this statement a published list of persons executed since the vear 1606. and when the executions {or awn“ ibis HOW A HANGMAN FEELS.

Mr. Berrv says “ it never was thisâ€"way the criminal has always something to look forward to.” This is how a. hang- man jokes. Mr. Berry says “ it never was worth more than £5a week and it killed my father, my mother and my brother with shame, and my wife, whose hair was black as the raven before I became an executioner, is now whiteheaded, all through it. If I could only undo what I have done I would give my right hand from off my body. If the Queen herself would give me the Kohi- noor or go down on her bended knee I would not go back to the scaffold again. Believe me, I never got a. good night’s sleep all the timeâ€"unless, indeed, I had some good Scotch whiskey in me. Nearly all our hangmen have taken to drink. I never could hang anybody unless I had about half a gill of brandy in me, and then, Why I could have hanged the governor himself.” Berry has a. very poor opinion of jurymen, and says “ they not very stupidly on most occasions, convicting men and causing them to be put to death when no such thing should be done. I wonder why we keep on sending our missionaries and our money abroad when first-rate fields lie open at our own doors for the conversion of jurymen.” What is lacking is umlide that, what. is lacking is that which is above the “ average Dr. Pierce‘s medicines are guaranteed to accomplish what, they are intended to do, and their makers give the money back if the result isn’t apparent.
