Too Much Knife! The use of the surgeon's ktiifc is becoming so general, resulting fatally in sucli a large number of cases, as to occasion general alarm. , Mr. William Walpole, of Walshtown, South Dakota, writes; "About three years ago, there came undei my left eye a little blotch about the size of a small pea. It grew rapidly,and ei shooting pains ran ffi in every direction, ' became alarmed * * an<* consulted a '''-.^'^wiSk^ good doctor, who \ pronounced it can^aRn .xKHsfeyvcer, and said that it must be cut out. ^'vV tWk/ This I would not 'iO^N consent to, having little faith in the indiscriminate use of the knife. Reading of the many cures made by S. S. S., I determined to give that medicine a trial, and after I had taken it a few days, the cancer became irritated and began to discharge. This after awhile ceased, leaving a small scab, which finally dropped oil, and only a healthy little scar remained to mark the place where thedestroyer had held full sway. A Real Blood Remedy* Cancer is in the blood and it is follji tocxpect an operation tocure it. S.S.H {guaranteed purely I'tgetable) is a real r<|TIHM! v ^ \\ ATROCIOUS CRIME.

Just as she did >o, there was a j volley of rille shots fired upon j the building and the bullets c line j clear through the walls and matte ' things hot for the occupants. [j By this time the entire house hold was aroused and efforts were made to check the flames. All | this time the liring. outside was , kept up, whon the man saw that there was no chance to check the ; j lire, lit; told his [family to follow hitn and he rushed to the [ front door of the house.

When this is obtained the department of justice , will be asked to prosecute the persons engaged in the crime. Baker, who is said to have been i a respectable colored man and I who had previously taught school, | was appointed to the ollice in j.Iuiy last. It is said at the department that he was a man of |i|uiet, unobstrusive habits and j had tilled the position a short j while only before threats of personal danger were made against him. There was no place in the city to be had for keeping the postoftice and it was removed to the schoolhouse in the suburbs. The citizens boycotted the ollice with some degree of success. No serious complaint had been received concerning the condition of affairs very recently, aiulit was hoped that the prejudice against the postmaster had died down. The postmaster general has offered a reward of .$.'500 for the i arrest an 1 conviction of the per^ s iis who burned the postoilice at I.ake < itv, S. on Monday j night, and a reward of ifoOO for it lie arrest and conviction of the ]> rsons who murdered the oust master at the same time. CJeneral (iary lias issued an order to discontinue the ollieo at Lake city from this time. Mail intended for Lake City will hereafter be sent toScranton, the nearest postolliee, where it can be called for by the people of t he termer place. Attorney < leneral Griggs has telegraphed I'nited States Attorney Lathrop at Charleston instructing him to co-operate with tin? State authorities, and if possible secure the arrest of the parties for destroying the post other building and for other felonious acts in connection with the murders done in violation of the statue of the i'nited States. : ' !.;: n o i; o r f i: i: s iu: w a i; s).1 ' 0 For Conviction of t!*;1 Mur:v r: ' !\ eulion XfistI1 ;it i!. j .
