A SAGACIOUS MARE

Says the Virgiaia City Montanian: — John Fletcher owns a mare, which runs in a pasture adj >inlng the house. The mare has a joong colt at her side. A few nights ago, after Mr Fletcher had retired, he was aroused by the mare coming to the house, and by pawing, neighing, and in every possible way trying to get his attention This continuing for some time, he got up and went out and drove her away, and returned again to bed, but she immediately returned, and if possible, increased her demonstrations. He again went out, when the mare came up t) him and rubbed her nose against him although always before she had been very shy ; then ran on a few yards before him continuing neighing : then, as he did not follow her, she returned to him in the most demonstrative manner. He attem ted to drive her off, struck her with a stick, and followed her a few yard* to frighten her away. As soon, however, as he turned towards the house, she returned and tried in every way to prevent him from doing so. He tuen remarked that her colt wan not with her, a fact he had not noticed before, as it was puite dark. It occurred to him then to follow her, which ho did. So soon as she saw he was doing bo she ran off before him stopping every few yard#, turning round to see that he was still following, then again running on, keeping up bee calling until she reached a distant part of tte field, where she stepped at an old “ proepect hole.” Oncoming op with her, she again commenced robbing against him, and drew his attention to the hole, where he soon d'-<covered the colt. It appears It had slipped into It, and was unable to get out, and the mare had taken this method to obtain assistance Being unable to get It out alone, Mr Fletcher went for some of hi* neighbours, and with them returned While they were talking the little fellow out the mare manifested the mast intense delight, and seemed almost beside herself with joy ; and afterwards, when the men had got the colt rut of the hole, she came up to Mr Fi etcher and, p’acing her nose on his shoulder, gave every sign of gratitude that a human mother nrght under similar circumstances. Who wIU say the bo<ie does not reason ?

Varrow Escape. * * * ■Rochester, June 1. 1882 “Ten years ago I was r.ttscked with the most Intense and deathly pains in my back and Kidneys . “Extending to the end of my toes and to mv brain ! “ Which made me dehrions ! “ From agony ! ! ! ! “ It took three men to bold me on my bed at times ! “ The Doctors tried In vain to relieve me, but to no purpose. Morphine and other opiates ! “ Hud no effect ! “ Af.er two months I was given up to die ! I ! ! “ When my w fe heard a neighbor tell what Hop Bitters had done for her, she at onci got and gave me some. The first dose eased ray brain and seemed to go hunting through my system for the pain. The second dose eased me so much that I slept two hours, something I had not done for two months. Before I had need five bottles, I was well and at work as hard as any man could, for over three weeks ; but I worked too bard for my strength, and taking a hard cold, I was taken with the most acute and painful rheumatism all through my system that was ever known. ••I called th,* doctors again, and afier several weeks they left him & cripple on cratches for life, as they said. I met a friend and told him my case, and be said Hop Bitters had cured him and would cure me? I poohed at him, but he was so earnest I was induced to use them again. In less than four weeks, I threw away my crutches and went to work lightly and kept on using the bitters for five weeks, until I became as well as any man living, and have been so for six years since. It has abo outed my wife, who had baen sick for years ; and has kept her and my children well and healthy with from two to three bottles a year. There is no need to be sick at all if these bitters are used. J J. Berk, Ex-Supervisor. “ That poor invalid wife, Sister, Mother, “Or daughter! ! ! ! “ Can be made the picture of health ! “ with a few bottles of Hop Bitteis ! “ Will you let them suffer ! ! ! ! ' Prosecute the Swindler. T If when you call for American Hop Bitters (gee green twig of Hops on the white label and Hr Soule’s name blown in the bott’e), the vendor hands out anything but Aimrieaii Hop Bitters refuse it and shun the vendor as yau would a viper; and if he hes taken your money for anything else indict him for the fraud and sue'him for damages for the swindle, and we will pay you liberally for the oonviotion. .
