On the 14th of February, 1856, fully prepared’
i* the eighteenth year of her age, died Miss Mah
tha J- Kkksb, only daughter of Col. Augustus
ud Mrs. Amarintha Beese, of Madison.
Krtinn. obedience and lore were the charac
t«r**ties of this “loved one at home intelligence,
Klßcment and meekness was the obvious quali
ties of her mind and heart. The future was full
of hope, just entering into life —that life promised
all that could make her cling to its offerings of
beauty and loveliness. But such a future of
earth, thus bright and joyous, was not for her.
Bang early taught that “it was not all of life
to ttve, nor all of death to die,” she had not de
ferred'until these last hours a preperation for
qmt*-; but was possessed of that joy and peace
which the world can neither give or take away.
though, for the four or five last months of
bar life, deeply afflicted, an intense sufferer, such
Steering, as when disease was baffled by consti
tutional strength, only to procrastinate physical
and which neither medical skill, parental
Mfcdness, care or anxiety could alleviate, still
Mfridst it all, reason held its throne, anxious to
put off this body of pain, still more anxious to
WSlingly and patiently await the time appointed
of Him that “ doeth all things well.” Having
Opt,ken of the future for herself in eternity, she
urged her parents and brothers to meet her there.
One blessing more she desired, and at last ob
tained —that bt fore death, she might cease to
suffer, and die peacefully, calmly and in her right
mind. And thus it was—after many days and
nights of agony—came that last re)>ose of earth
to her, and dying blessing. Quietly and softly
saying to him whom she had never disobeyed,
44 Father, this is death her enraptured soul
winged its way to immortality beyond the_skujs.

GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS.
The Grand Jury sworu and chosen for the
March Term, 1856, of Morgan Superior Court,
urnhe the following Presentments:
We have examined, through committees, the
Court House and Jail, and report them in good
mfuir —with the exception of the floor in the
lower cell of the Jail. We recommend the In
ferior Court to cause anew floor to be laid on
the top of the old one, with two-inch plauk.
We also find the Poor House in good repair—
the inmates well cared for, with a good stock of
provisions on hand—enough to last for the pre
sent .year—aud needs but little aid from the
county. The overseer is an attentive, industrious
and kind manager.
The roads and bridges throughout the county,
notwithstanding the extraordinary winter we
have had, are in a passible condition. The
bridge across Indian Creek, near Carter Shep
herd's. needs some repairs, which should be doue
as toon as possible. We also recommend the
building of a bridge across Little Biver, near the
place of the estate of J. Durden. The wants of
the county imperatively demand that this should
be done as soon as it can be, as it is impassible in
high water.
It has also been brought to our notice that
there are a number of poor children ill our
county who went to school last year, but through
some oversight, their names were not returned
un tile Tax Book, and the Ordinary, having a
strict regard for the trust reposed in him, refused
to pav the amounts to the teachers. We recom
mend that he pay out of any funds in his hands
the accouuts for teaching the said poor children.
Provided, satisfactory proof be submitted thut
they are between the ages of eight and sixteen
years of age. We recommend that the accounts
tic teaching all illegitimate children between the
shore sges, be also paid. We find that the same
rate of taxes assessed last year for Poor School
pnrjKi'i'-. will not he sufficient for the present.
We therefore recommend that the tax be increas
ed to fifteen percent, on the State tax.
Tiie Jury congratulate the people of the county
upon the high state of morals prevalent in the
community, as evidenced from the small amount
of criminal business that has come before us.
This shows that ours are a lan' abiding aud order
Wviug people.
There is one thiug that has come before us
that we cannot pass by without notice, vix.: the
habit that is prevalent in Madison of allowing
atgrocs to five on separate lots from their owners’,
and hiring their ova time. This is in direct
violation of the law, and very reprehensible. Al
though from the known character of the gentle
men who own the slaves, we know that they arc
not aw-are of the violation of the law, and we
believe that when the fact is brought to their
notice, that it will be discontinued immediately.
We have also examined, through a committee,
the Public Becords of the county, and find them
neatly and correctly kept.

disbursements of the Trustee of the Brazewell

We regret to see that the recommendation of

monument to the memory of Benj. Brazewell has
pot been acted upon by the Inferior Court. W e
therefore repeat the recommendation, that a
monument be erected to his memory in the Court

disorders, nausea and a foul stomach, which pre
vented him relishing any kind of food, and fre
quently threw him on a bed of sickness for seve
ral weeks. He tried many remedies recommen
ded him by friends, but they ouly tended to in*
crease his malady; his brother, last fall, recom
mended him to use Holloways Pills, which he
did, the result,' to use his own expression, “ was
truly extraoidinary, for after about six weeks
usage of this inestimable medicine, I was com.
pletely cured; and will nsver again be without
it—l guess.”
Those who have used Professor
Wood’s Hair Restorative are sufficiently cogni
zant of its excellent qualities, but others may not
he aware that it is no ordinary article. It was
discovered by Professor Wood, an able chemist
and professor of that science, while experiment

out of his own hair. Its wonderful effects in his
own case and that of some private friends, and
their urgent requests, induced him to offer it to
the public. —BaWimort Dispatch.

PROFESSOR WOOD’S HAIR RESTORA
TIVE, is, no doubt, the most w onderful dis
covery of this age of progress, for it will restore,
permanently, gray hair to its original color, cover
the*head of the bald with a most luxuriantgrowth,
remove at once all dandruff and itching, cure all
scrofula and other cutaneous eruptions, such us
scald head, etc. It will cure, as if by magic, ner
vous or periodical headache; make the hair soft,
glossy, and wavy, and preserve the color perfect
ly, and the hair from falling, to extreme old age.
We could give the testimony of more than one
hundred thousand to the truth of every word we
have written. See circular and the following:

St. Paul, January let, 1855.
Professor O.J. Wood-— Dear Sir ! Unsnlieit- and
I send you this certificate. After being nearly
bald for a long time, and having tried all the hair
restoratives extant, and having no faith in any, I
was induced on hearing of yours, to give it a
trial. I placed myself in the hands of a barber,
and had my head’rubbed with a good stiff brush,
and the Restorative then applied, and well rubb
ed in, till the scalp was a glow. This I repeated
every morning, and in three weeks the young ha r
appeared, and grew rapidly from August last till
the present time, and is now thick, black and
strong—soft and pleasant to the touch; who -eas,
before, it was harsh and wirv, what little there
was of it, and that little was disappearing very
rapidly. I still use your Restoradvo about twice
a week, and shall soon have a good and period
crop of hair. Now, if! had read of these things
—and who has not?—but have not seen hitherto
any case where any person’s hair was really ben
efited by any of the hair tonics, etc., of the dav;
and it really gives me pleasure to record the re
sult of my experience. I have recommended
your preparation to others, und it already has a
large and general sale throughout the Territory.
The peopje here know its effects, and have confi
dence in it. The supply you sent us, as whole
sale agents for the Territory, is nearly exhausted,
and daily inquiries are made for it. You deserve
credit for your discovery; and I, for one, return
you my thanks for the benefit it has done me, for
I certainly had despaired long ago of ever effect
ing any such result. Tours, hastily,

Professor Wood —Dear Sir: Having made a
trial of your Hair Restorative, it gives me pleas
ure to say, that its effect has been excellent in re
moving inflamation, dandruff, and a constant ten
denev to itching, with which 1 have been trou
bled from my childhood; and has also restored
my hair, which was becoming gray, to its origi
nal color. I have used no other article, with

JULES HAUEL, Esq., the well known perfumer
ot Chestnut street, Philadelphia, whose choice
products are found at almost every toilet, says:
“ I am happy to say of your Cathartic Pills,
that I have found them a better family medicine
for common use, than any other within my
knowledge. Mauv of my friends have realized
marked benefits from them aud coincide with
me in believing ihat they possess extraordinary
virtues for driving out diseases and curing the
sick. They are not only effectual but safe and
pleasant to be taken, qualities which must make
them valued by the public, when they are
known.*
The venerable Chancellor Wardlaw, writes from
Baltimore, 15th April, 1854:
“ Dr. J. C. Ayer— Sir: I have taken your Pills
with great benefit, for the listlessness, lunguor,
loss of appetite, ami Billious headache, whicu has

doses of your Pills cured me. I have used your

The widely renowned S. S. Stevens, M. D. of

“ Having used your Cathartic Pills in my prac
tice, 1 certily from experience, that they are an
invaluable purgative. In cases of disordered
functions of the liver, causing headache, indiges
tion, costiveness, anu the great variety of disea
ses that follow, they are a surer remedy than any
other. In all cases where a purgative remedy is
required. 1 confidently recommend these Pills to
the public, as superior to any other 1 have ev< r
found. Tliev are sure in their operation, and
perfectly safe, qualities which make them an in
valuable article for public use. 1 have for many
years known your Cherry Pectoral as I lie best
Cough medicine in Ihe world, und these Pills are
in no wise inferior to that admirable preparation
for the treatment of diseases.”
“ Acorn, Me., Nov. 25. 1853.
“Dr. J. C. Ayer —Dear Sir: I have been af
flicted from my birth with scrofula in its worst
form, and now, after t venty years’ trial, and an
untold of amount of suffering, have been com
pletely cured in a few weeks by your Pills. With
what feelings of rejoicing I write, can only be
imagilied wnen you realize what I have suffered
and how long.
“ Never until now ha~c I been free from this
loathsome disease in some shnpe. At times it
attacked my eyes, a id made me almost blind,
besides the uncudiwable pain ; at others it settled
in the scalp of my he id, und has kept ine partly
bald all my days; sometimes it came out m iny
face, and kept it for months a raw sore.
“About mne weeks ago I commenced taking
your Cathartic Pills, and now am entirely free
from the complaint. My eyes are well, my skin
is fair, and my hair has commenced a healthy
growth; allot which makes me feel already a

Cant. Joel Pratt, of the ship Marion, writes from
Boston, 20th April, 1854.
“ Your Pills have cured me from a billious at
tack which arose from derangement of the Liver,
which had become very serious. 1 had failed of
any relief by my Physician, and from every rem
edy I could try, but a few doses of your Pills
have completely restored me to health. I have
given them to my children for worms, with the
best effects. They wore promptly cured. I re
commended them to a friend for costiveness,
which had troubled him for months; he told me
in a few days they had cured him. You make
the best medicine in the world, and I am free to
say so.”

“New Orleans, sth April. 1854.
“Sir: I have great satisfaction in assuring you
that myself and Tamily have been very much ben
efited by your medicines. My wife was cured
two years since, of a severe a ud dangerous cough,
by your Cherry Pectoral, and since then has en
joyed perfect health. My children have several
times been cured from attacks of the Influenza
and Croup by it. It is an invaluable remedy for
t hese complaints. Your Cathartic Pills have en-
cured me from a dyspepsia and costiveness
which lias grown upon me for some years,—in
deed this cure is much more important from the
fact that I hhd failed to get relief from the best
Physicians which this section of the country uf
fords, and from any of the numerous remedies I
h id taken.
“ You seem to us, Doctor, like a providential
blessing to our family, and you may well suppose
we are not unmindful of it.

“ Dr. J. C. A yep.— Honored Sir: 1 have made a
thorough trial of the Cathartic Pills, left me by
your agent, and have been cured by them of the
dreadful rheumatism .under which he found me
suffering. The first dose relieved me, and a few
subsequent doses have entirely removed the dis
ease. I feel in better health now than for some
years before, which I attribute entirely to the ef
fects of your Cathartic Pills.
