Norwalk Gazette.
Tuesday, October 7th, 1879.
It is still a matter of uncertainty whether
there will be a State Election in November
or not, and to comply with the requirements
of law the Registrars issue to-day their
formal notice to persons desiring to be made
voters. It is an awkward situation of affairs,
but persons desiring to be made should are
to it that their names are handed in so that
in case the election is held they can be ad-

en. Joe Hawlcy has capitulatcd, and
retired without the boners of war. Last
January, as a Statesman, he advised the peo-
ple of Connecticut “As a measure of good
state policy and wise economy” to adopt the
proposed amendment relating to Biennial
sessions. Now, as an editor, he gives in to
the Hartford pressure, and tries to defeat his
own proposition.
A Course Of Lectures.
The Library propose to have a course of
six lectures and entertainments for its own
benefit. Some of the best talent in the field
will be secured, as such names as Wendell
Phillip and Mrs. Livermorc will prove.
There will also be one first—class musical
evening, either a concert or an opera, and one
first-class dramatic evening. It is believed
that a course of such an high order, and yet
so varied and so entertaining, has never be—
fore been offured to the patronage of our
citizens. The price of single admission is
fifty cents, or the extremely low price of a
dollar and a but for the course, with the
privilege of a reserved scat. If season
tickets sufficient to secure the Library against
loss are subscribed for in advance, Norwalk
will once more have a course of lectures
fl
Money Stolen.
On Tuesday night of last week, Pat White,
who keeps a small store at Whistleville, dis-
covered that. he had been robbed of some-
. thing over $1,000, which money he kept in a
trunk in his house. It seems that each night
he put into the' trunk whatever money he
had left over from the day’s sales, and going
to the trunk to deposit he discovered the
theft. We hope some shrewd ofiicer will
soon give us a chance to chronicle the cap—
ture and conviction of the thief.

A Friend from Home.
A newspaper from home, to our European
excursionist, is about the most welcome
thing received and we were not surprised
to learn that the pleasure of the Morison
party abroad was greatly enhanced by the
receipt of their copies of, the , old Gaza’rrr,
which followed their wanderings. But a
decidedly unique surprise delighted the mid-
night vigils of our mayor at one of the shore
towns on the Rhine, where the party had
Awaking from some
blissful dream of home and friends far away,
his ear caught the dulcet music of a mos—
quito! It was the first and only one encoun-
tered while abroad, and our usually sedate
mayor broke the midnight quiet of the
hotel and shouted aloudto his nearest fellow
sojourner to wake up and listen to a friend
from home.
This was not quite as startling, however,
as the exclamation made by a young and
lively lady belonging to a Hartford party
who discovered a certain kind of bug which
sometimes proves troublesome,and innocently
remarked, “Why, that is the first b—d b—g
I have seen since I left home.” She was ex-
trunly chagrined, although it was a very nat-
ural exclamation, and really meant America
and not her own home residence.
Rumor has it that Greenwich is soon to be
startled with the revelation that some trusted
official has been making too free with the
town funds. An auditor is at work on the
accounts.‘
And yet Norwalk has had a Treasurer
who for fifty-one years has paid all demands
on her Treasury, when no money was there
as well as when there was, and to properly
recognize this faithful ofiicers long service,
the town meanly cut down his meagre salary

Accrnnxr.—-0n Saturday evening the 27th
ult., when Mr. James Panton was driving
into his yard at Broad River, on his return
from the village, a cow belonging to a Mr.
‘ Johnson rushed out from behind the barn'
and so frightened Mr. Panton's horse that he
ran away up a steep bank, upsetting and
wrecking the carriage and breaking five of
Mr. Panton’s ribs, three on one side and two
on the other. At present writing he is re-
covering.
The handsomepostcr for the Ridgefield
Fair, came from the Gazette ofiice and re-
flects great credit on Messrs. White and Betts
the compositor and pressmhn as well as on
the ofilce which furnishes such competent

The Ridgeficld Fair poster has been fre-
quently pronounced by good judges, the
prettiest bill on this year’s sho w-boards.
Colfax’s Lecture.
It is proposed to run an extra train from
Ridgefield on Wednesday evening, Oct. 29th,
to and from the Colfax Lecture. This will
accommodate large numbers at Georgetown,
Wilton, Kent and Winnipauk who desire to
listen to the recital of the speaker’s marvelous
adventures.
An unfortunate accident occurred on West
Avenue last Tuesday morning, which was,
however, very fortunate in its termination.
Mr. John P. Beatty was riding up the avenue
with his man, when some part of the harness
gave way and the shafts suddenly went up
in the air, over the horse’s; head. The horse
then became unmanageable and started to
run, but swayed the carriage to one side and
collided with a. light buggy. in which Mr.
Seth Gregory was quietly riding up the street.
In a moment the buggy turned :a complete
summerset, the horse was down, and Mr.
Gregory thrown to ground. Passers by rush-'
ed to the rescue and soon things were
straightened out when it was found that no
bones were broken and but little-damage done.
#
A little flurry of excitement was caused
Tuesday afternoou_by the sudden stoppage of
the down train on the Danbury Railroad just
above the bridge over the river. Rushing
up to learn the cause we found there had
been no serious accident, but that stones hav-
ing been thrown thrOugh the car windows
the train had stopped and men were sent to
capture the youthful offenders. The air was
filled with the cries of an urchin who was
being most soundly whipped by his mother,
and it is safe to say that the trains will not .
be molested again in that vicinity for some
time to come. . -

Sewerage.
We recently published on the first page of
the Gazarrr, the full Report of the Medical
Expert of the New Haven Board of Health.
It is nota savory subject to discuss with
elaborate freedom, but its vital importance to
this community, renders it an imperative
duty. That our health conditions here are
simply frightful, no one need be told. With
millions upon millions of gallons of dirty
water poured out with nothing but surface
saturization and atmospheric exhalations to
dispose of it, must- incvitablyleave its deadly
traces all about our beautiful village unless
some adequate measures are taken for a thor-
ough outflow of this disease breeding foul-
ness into the harbor, where the tides may
float it away. At South N orwalkthc Messrs.
Leonards have, by a simple, common sense
and inexpensive system of piping to tide
water, placed our young sister city infinitely
ahead of us in the matter of sewerage. We
must arouse to this Sewer question or our
old-time reputation of being one of the
healthiest towns in all New England, will
surely be substituted by an exactly opposite
fame.
The celebrated Hayden murder case will
begin before the Superior Court in New
Hagen, today, Tuesday afternoon.

Norwalk’s Fire Bug Caught. 2
For a long time it has been evident that
Norwalk was indulging the perilous luxury
.of a modern “fire bug." Recently, the num-
er of fires having increased, Mayor Morison
and Burgess Cowles determined upon more
active measures for the discovery of the per-
petrator. Allen Pinkerton was called on to
furnish a detective, and Mr. John Curtin, of
that force, was sent here on a mission of dis-
covery. lie immediately struck a clue
and in a few hours was satisfied that the
German Boy, Adolph Storck, was the guilty
party. Storck was living with E. V. A.
Chichcster,’ and although his employer at
first could not believe it possible he was the
culprit, because of his own barn having been
fired and the German being under special
obligations of gratitude for kindness render—
ed him by both Mr. and Mrs. 0., yet Mr.
Chichester joined in the effort to induce
Storck to confess his crimes if guilty, with
such earnest determination, that the full con-
fession he makes is in great measure due to
his persistent efforts. Adolph was called
into the presence of Mr. Chichcstcr and De-
tectivc Cul'tin early Friday evening, and
though at first denying all knowledge of
the repeated barn 'burnings in that neighbor—
hood, was so entangled and confronted and
confused by the little scraps of evidence the
detective had picked up, and the skillful
manner of putting the same together, that
Adolph soon became confounded beyond his
own powers of explanation, and finally gave
way to a violent paroxysm of weeping, at
the end of which, as the detective expresses
it, “He gave himself completely away.
It was far into the midnight, when with hi
hands covering his face and in the greatest
mental anguish, he repeated—“I did it. Oh,
I did it. I did it.” Then came the effort to
have him admit in detail the firing of all the
barns thercabouts, when he again began to
prevaricate, but his lies were so completely
turned upon himself, that despairing of ex—
tricating himself,by daylight he had confessed
to having fired the barns of Mrs. L. M. Ste-
vens, of C. J. Gruman, (with whom he lived
at one time), of also the George Hoyt barn,
that of Judge E. W. Stuart, Mr. Chichestcr
and that of Michael Noonan last Wednesday
night. He was put under arrest afterhaving
duly signed this written confession, and con-
ducted to the lock-up by officer Sullivan,
where he now lies. As he confesses his guilt
he will have no preliminary trial but be sent
to Bridgeport jail to await the action of States
Attorney Olmstead. Ashe is sure of con-
viction on several of the indictments at least,
there is a long vista of States Prison experi—
ence before him. His only motive seems to
have been a love of the excitement conse-
quent on getting out the fire apparatus. In
nearly every case after setting fire, he would
run to the Bridge and await the coming of
the firemen, and then help haul some one of
the apparatus and work with the utmost ex-
ertion to put out the fire. In the case of
firing the barn of his old employer, Judge
Stuart, he made the most desperate effort to
save the property, and succeeded in rescuing
all but two chickens from the flames. With
almost touching impartiality, after firing his
last employer’s barn, he braved the flames
until he had rescued all but two of Mr. Chi-
chester’s pullets. He claimed much credit
to himself for this important saving of his
friend’s poultry with a child-like simplicity.
Many think him laboring under some mental
hallucination, and doubtless he had a mania
for incendiarism. He exhibited great cun-
ning in the planning and execution of his
wickedness, and in every instance of a fire,
it is said, either began or ended up with get-
ting drunk. Witha sad pathos he says in
his confession—“It was not me but the whisky
I drank that did it.” He has a devoted
mother in Germany who makes frequent rc-
mittances Of money to those with whom he
chances to live, for his benefit. She writes
tender and beautiful lette rs in both German
and English, showing her to be a lady of
refinement and superior education.
also has had the advantage’of a good educa-
tion,'and is undoubtedly the wayward son of
a widowed mother of good family. His and
predicament should prove a timely warning
to the many reckless young men who nightly
roam our town bent on what may seem to
them only a little reckless, mischievous fun
and excitement. There is but one ending to
such licence, and that end is the prison or
the gallows, A correspondent who knows
him thoroughly well furnishes us with the
following account of Storck:
Adolf Stork, the German who confessed
last Friday to the firing of the barns which
have been burned within the past two years,
came to this country in the year 1866 at the
age of nineteen: and was employed the first
year in the vicinity of Mt. Vernon. It was
the 29th of July, 1867, Adolf“ came to Nor—
walk and was found in a destitute condition
sitting by the roadside by E. Chichester,
who brought him to E. W. Stuart, and
asked him to furnish him some food and
work. Mr. Stuart became interested in the
boy and undertook to instruct him in the
business of farming, and in the English lan-
guage with which he seemed wholly unac-
quaintcd. Adolf readily learned to work
and drive oxen, and was soon able to do the
various kinds of work carried on by his
employer.
Adolf wrote to his mother describing his
home, and in reply Mr. Stuart received
letters-from her thanking him for the interest
- he had taken in her boy, expressing her
earnest desire for his welfare, assuring him
that no clay passed without her prayers for
him, and requesting him to look after Adolf,
at the same time cOunselling him to heed the
instructions and advice given him. Adolf
for a while attended church regularly, read
his bible and was diligent in-his employment.
At length falling in with some of his country-
men hc was induced to drink with them, and
thenceforth became addicted to the love of
lager beer, one glass sufiicing to craze him,
and after repeated efforts for his reform, Mr.
Stuart was led in 1876 to dismiss him from
his employ, but assured him of his earnest
desire for his welfare, and after notifying his
mother received letters containing remittan-
ces to be expended as he should see fit for
her son’s support, with urgent requests that
he might be received again into his family.
Whenever he was without a place he found
asylum in his former employer’s house.
During the year 1877 he was employed by
Chas. C. Betts. When Mr. Betts and wife
went to Colorado, Adolf went off on one of
his drunken sprees and was dismissed by Mr.
F. Betts, who was in charge during the
absence of the family. The following year
he lived at C. J. Gruman’s and Thomas
Finnerty’s. The present year he was one of
the corps of laborers employed by E. Chiches-
ter in laying out the grOnnds and other im-
provements on the estafe of Mrs. Butler, and
was so employed when he burned the old
barn belonging to that estate, and the old
barn of Mrs. chrand Lockwood last week.
Adolf was always considered a strange
fellow, one day he would say hard things of
his employers, and the next would load them
with praise; now he would be found packing
his bundle to leave, and almost in the next
breath would declare his determination to
stay during his life. He was constantly in a
disturbed and unsettled state of mind. He
received his :mother’s and his aunt’s photo-
graps which, for a few weeks he prized and
almost worshipped, and suddenly in a fit of
despondcncy tore them in shreds and cast
the fragments into the stove.
One Sabbath he wotld read his bible almost
the entire day and praise its sublime truths,
and the next declare them to be nothing but
a cunningly devised tale utterly false from
beginning to end.
Adolf uttered a great truth when he said
in reply to the question how he came to fire
the barns of his employers and others, that it
was THE wmsxar he had drank, and not
himself that did it, and how far they who
sold him the poison which crazed his brain
and fired him with the passion to destroy the
property of our citizens, are responsible for
his act, and his sad fate, he who holds the
scales of unswerving and exact justice will
at the grand assize proclaim. . .
We congratulate our authdrities upon their
success in ferrcting out the cause of these
frequent fires. VINDxx.
P. S. Stork was examined before Justice
Footc this Monday morning. He was de-
fended by Gen. Wm. R. Smith who demurr-
cd to the charge and the prisoner withdrew
his plea of guilty and was bound over to the
Superior Court iu$2,500 bail on five counts
of the indictment, failing to procure which
he is sent to jail to await'his trial. '
l .
for the murder of John H. Schulte.
Adolf .
The Bucholz Case' '
Park and Sanford, was begun thechort to
set aside the conviction of William Bucholz
General
Smith offered to read his amended motion
which contains allegations concerning newly
discovered evidence, but the court excluded
all proofs except on those points alleged in
the motion filed within twenty-four hours
after the verdict was rendered. " These re-
late to misconduct on the palt'of several
jurors in holding frequent conversations
during the progrcsa of the trial. Joseph
R. Lockwood is the juror concerning whom
the most serious charges are made. Several
witnesses testified to comments of this juror
on the clearness of Detective Stark’s testii
mony; to :an extended conversation in a
street car in which the juror was overheard
to declare : “I made up my mindon the sec-
ond day of court and I presume most of the
rest of them have ;” and to further conver-
sation of a half hour’s duration in a restau-
rant m which the juror listened and
replied to arguments concerning the
insufficiency of the time for Bucholz to_
commit the crime, and concluded by say-
ing: “The circumstances of be case are so
strong that it is an easy matter to form an
opinion.” Bucholz and his counsel declar-
ed under oath that they had no knowledge
prior to the close of the trial of any of the
facts brought out on Saturday’s testimony.
Juror Lockwood, after an exception taken
to the reception of his testimony, was al-
lowed to explain the circumstances under
which he conversed, and the language used.
With regard to Stark, his rcmarkhwas only
of the manner, not the evidence of the de-
tective. He denied saying in a canthat he
had made up his mind on the second day
of the trial. When asked in a car if it
would/take as long for the jurors to make
up their minds as it had for the lawyers to
argue, he had said: “I shall make up my
mind from the evidence, and I suppose the
rest of the jurors will theirs.” 1n the res-
taurant a juror had replied to an argument
repeated to him at the time consumed by
Bucholz between the arrival of the train
and the time of reaching Waring’s house by
saying: “Some men walk faster than others”
—such remark being made with a view of
ending the conversation.
Selleck Youngs testified that he paid no
mrticular attention to the remarks made
about the case at the dinner table, but did on
one occasion express the wish to those pres-
cut that they would cease their talk on the
subject in his presence. The simple facts in
Mr. Youngs’ case we know. to be that he
sought and relied upon divine guidance as
to his course in deciding the fate of Bucholz,
and after an hour upon his knees his duty
was made plain to him. Had the other jurors
acted with the same child-like and reverent
faith they might have had equally distinct
and special revelations made to them as to
their duty. One thing is certain and that is
that there was the grossest looseness as to
the hearing,reading talking and of that jury as
a whole, and if for no other reason, Bucholz
should have a new trial. General Smith
made an extended argument, citing a large
number of cases. The State Attorney pre—
sented about a dozen authorities. The‘court
announced that a decision would be render—
ed on the evening of October 15. Gen.
Smith and Bollman, of counsel, took the
stand and testified that they had no knowl-
edge of this free and easy conduct of the
jury prior to the close of the trial. Bucholz,
who had been brought into court at the 'sug—
gestion of Mr. Olmstead, testified through
Mr. Bellman as interpreter, to the same.
The impression prevails that the judges will
grant a new trial, although they declined to
admit the new evidence offered by Gen.
Smith.
A. very fishy cock and bull story’ about an
ol'ilhatchct being found near the ambush
where Schulte was murdered, has been at—
tempted to be wrought into a bit of new and
sensational evidence, and is given Mollows :
It will be remembered that Stark testified to
Bucholz having' started a remark and then,
checking himself, saying: “Oh, that’s too
high up ?" On the strength of this assertion
three persons from South Norwalk made a
search in the vicinity, and near -th_e top of a
beach tree close to the ambush they discov-
ered a hatchet said to be clotted with blood
upon the back, with one or two hairs adher-
ing. The side of the tree had been notched
to facilitate its being climbed. The hatchet
is said to have been scaled and deposited in
the vault of the South Norwalk bank, where
it now remains.

BER:
Rid gefield Fair.
Were not our columns so overcrowded
by election matter, much might be said in
praise of last week’s Ridgefield Fair. The
cattle were very fine and the road horses,
brood mares and colts exceptionally so. The
trotting pelters, pleased those who enjoy that
part of a Fair, and so no one else will com-
plain, as all the races seemed fairly contested
and the prizes as honestly won as is usual.
The Band was worthy of special mention.
Its young leader on the horn, Master Isaac
Hurlbutt, is in a fair way to some day rival
Levy and the town may well be pfoud of
its Band.
The Ladies’ Industrial was meritorious in
many particulars. Whitney had a fine show
of residence photographs; Ha'rlem of Gent‘s
Clothing; Crayons, bugs, butte'rllies, and
stuffed birds, animals, and plants and flowers,
were in fine 'array.
. Agricultural Implements were shown in
usual profusion. Some last year potatoes,
sound and good were a novelty, but the new
crops were the most attractive.
The show of vegetables were not quite
worthy Of the season. Edson Raymond, of
Silver Mine, exhibited six more of his extra
fine Hubbard and Boston Marrow Squashes.
A fine show of corn, including several
samples of the soft and prolific, red cobbed
southern corn for stock feeding were shown.
The apples were abundant and exceedingly
fine. F.A.Rockwell,exhibited many varieties
of the finest fruit we have anywhere seen this
year. We are glad to learn that he intends
to market his crop here in Norwalk. He also
exhibited extra fine concord grapes and a
plate of most luscious peaches. The pears
and quinces were also exceptionally good,
After all, the finest part of the show, was the
good, healthy looking men, women, children
and babies, assembled, and all so happy in
the enjoyment of their holiday week and in
greeting old friends and acquaintances. There
probably was never so great a number of peo-
ple at the Ridgeficld Fair as on Thursday
last. A great many went up from Norwalk
. and other shore towns.
A. great many were disappointed at the
lateness of the balloon ascension, but thoSe
who witnessed the same farce here at Nor—
Walk, felt they lost very little in being com.
pelled to leave before dark. The humbug un-
‘doubtedly drew an increased number, but
it was money poorly ,expended. “Brother
Fuller” who went up to see the ascension,
remarked that he had only a sort of curi-
osity .to see how much nearer Heaven gas
would float some men than grace.
Among the distinguished visitors at the
Fair, we met cx—Congressman Chalice of the
Springfield, Mass, District, who has been
passing his summer in the beautiful, healthy
and grand old town of Ridgcfield. And long
may she wave. '
Danbury Fair. .
Our Danbury friends open their town fair
to-day. They may confidently rely upon a
large representation from Norwalk as usual
The railroad has fixed its trains and fares
so as to please everybody, and as the weath—
er is likely to prove propitious a monster
gathering will be witnessed there.

pouring out his money like water to the local

In the First District the vote on Registrars
shows a Republican majority of over one
hundred. Good enough for one day.
In the First District ex-Mayor Hyatt offi-
ciated as'Moderator, Mr. Blake in the'Sec-
ond, and Capt. Hanford in the Third.
The transparent humbug and contemptible
demagogism ef “minority representation”
was beautifully illustrated yesterday especial-
ly at the city. Gamblers and horse jockeys
never devised a clearer “skin game.”
We sincerely regret the defeat of Jas. A.
Brown for Registrar. Missionaries from
South NOrwalk came up town and labored
all day for his democratic rival, not bemuse
he was so experienced and capable an officer
it more.
Our friend Platt Price it seems, lacks
just four of being as popular a democrat as
Nelson J. Craw. This is hardly encouraging
treatment for new converts._
Never did the free and independent Amer-
ican citizen more enjoy his privileges of vot-
ing a split ticket, than at our town eleotion
yesterday. .. .
At the city election, the struggle for the
Mayorality, was like adversity in that it made
the candidates acquainted with strange bed-
fellows. Republicans were found scratching
Ely and voting heroically for the democratic
nominee, whileequally eccentric democrats
were voting and prespiring for’ the election
of the ex-Mayor. Great city, that South
Norwalk.
The liquor stores are all supposed to have
been closed yesterday in conformity to law.
Jacob Turk is to be congratulated on his
success. Hated most intensely by his own
party and vigorously scratched by them, he
is nevertheless triumphantly elected and great

of the par value could be realized on New

more for them to reach par.
The Standard Pinafore.
The letter from Mr. Henderson, of the
Standard Theatre, that we published in our
last, has fully convinced the public that
there will be no disappointment this time,
and the demand for seats is almost as lively
as it was for the last performanpg at the
Opera House. The very low price (500ts)
for reserved seats purchased before theonight
of the performance will ensure a good house,
but remember that only seats purchased be-
fore that night may be had for that price,
as 75 cents will be charged on the night of
the performance—Wednesday. With the
best company on the stage and the lowest
prices at which the opera has ever been given
everybody ought to be satisfied.

Better Roads.
The adjourned meeting to hear the report
of the committee raised to recommend some
better plan .of Highway repairing. was held
Saturday p. m. and the action of said com—
mittee approved. In few words, they re-
commend, that only $4,000 be appropriated
for Highways for the ensuing year. That
the sclectmen have entire charge of same,
and employ town tools, teams, and all ser-
viceable pauper help possible, and that a
weekly report be sent in to Town Clerk’s
ofiice~of all—work done, where done‘ and
price paid for same, for public inspection.
Final action will be taken on these questions

“A Double Marriage.”
By announcement in our adv. columns,
it will be seen that the renowned Kate
Claxton is to appear with her company at
Music Hall, on Monday evening next, in the
play with the above name. It is well spoken
of elsewhere as well be seen from the follow—
ing from the Indianoplis Sentinel:
An extraordinarily large and exceedingly
appreciative audience greeted the opening
of “A Double 'Marriagc" at the Grand
Opera House last evening. From parquette
to gallery the house was full: The popu—
lar expectation had run high, but the reality
was even greater than the anticipation. The
play has a good plot, and is fdrcible enough
to fill the requirements of a first-class drama,
but so many ludicrous points are introduced
that at times it is difficult to realize that
comedy has not superseded the more dignifi-
ed class of entertainments.
Miss Kate Claxton as J osephine, is of
course the principal attraction; She as-
sumes the very difficult character of a wo—
man who believes herself married to two
men at once, :and' is trying to act honorably
toward both, It is not too much to say that
perfection is but a short distance ahead of her
interpretation. ' ‘ .

What happenld to Mr. Beach.
Hundreds of personswill read with pleasure
the Intcrcstin article in relation to the case of
Mr. J. 8. Base , of Stone Ridge, which we pub-
lish below. Mr. Beach 18_ one of the most respect-
ed citizens of Stone Ridge, and is extensively
known over this and adjorning counties.Thc story
Is almost‘too good to be true. There is no reason
to doubt It however, for the names of parties in-
terested—who are of unquestioned veracity—and
the dates are carefully given, while hundreds of
others stand ready to prove the statement in
every particular: The article is not only interest-
ing, ut no doubt Wlll prove of incalculable value
to a great many people—Romulus” Freeman,
STONE IN THE/BLADDER EXPELLED AFTER US-
ING MEDICINE ABOUT T\V0 \VEEKS.
One of themost remarkable cases that has ever
been brought to the notice of the ublic is that
of Mr. J. S. Beach,ol‘stone Ridge. later Co.,N.Y.
Mr. Beach had suffered since Oct. 18, 1874, from
the presence of Calculus or stone in the right
Kidney, and he endured ain month after month
more than tongue can te l, which rendered him
totally unable to attend tohis usual occupation.
N 0 less than seven hyslclans were employed at
dlfierent times,to yv om MrJieach paid hundreds
ol‘,‘dollars l'or medlcdl treatment, with- only tem-
porary relief from his agony.
. By the urgent solicitation ofhla friends he was
induced to try Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy.
According] y, on the 28th day of August last. he
procured a. bottle of Mr. Kimble of Stone Ridge,
in this county, and strange as it may seem, it is
pone the less true, that he experienced a marked
Improvementlrom tho-first day he began to use
the medlclnc. He continued to grow better every
day, when on the 15th day of September he void-
ed a stone as large as could be passed through the
natural channel, which was very rough and of
irregular shape. Ills joy was unbounded, for he
we] knew that this had been the cause of all his
trouble. He showed the stone to scverui of the
physicians who had attended him previous to
rising the Favorite Remedy, and ALL of them ex-
,pressed in unmeasured terms their sur rise at
the PBOMPTNESS and CERTAIN’I- with
which the Favorite Remedy had acted. Nor did
they seek to hide their pleasure at seeing Mr.
Beach so happily relieved of his difficulty.
Mr. Beach concludes a. long,r letter to Dr. Ken—
nedy by saying: “You have indeed made a. great
discovery—one that has and will continue to
prove a real blessing—u. boon to suffering human
lty; and it Will always afford me pleasure to rcc-
ouimend the Favorite Remedy to those who may
be sulfering‘from difficulties of the Kidneys and
Bladder,or any disorders arising from an impure
state of the blood. You are at liberty to makc
such use of this letter as you may think best.
Yours, vcr truly,
J. S. BEAC , Stone Rit gc, Ulster 00., NJ.”
