Unfortunate Occurrence.
A public meeting held in St. Peters
Palish, S. C., day before yesterday
says the Savannah Republican, of the
5 li instant, resulted in a very serious
affray. The fa. ts as they have beeu re.
lated to us are simply these :
The meeting was organized bv calling
the Uon. Edmund Martin, to the Chair,
and he proceeded to appoint a commit
tee to prepare business lor its consider
ation. When the committee were alioiit
to retire, a Mr. Jesse Peeples, a member
of the House of Representatives of
South Carolina, a man of desperate
character, stepped up to Mr.
ami asked why he had not placed him
upon said coinm’ttee I Mr. Martin re
plied that had not thought of it;
whereupon . Mr. Feeples told him that
he was » and and liar : Mr. Martin forth
with knocked him down, and was in
flicting a severe chastisement upon him.
At this the friends of both sides com
menced to interfere, and it soon became
a general fight. We are sorry to say,
that Dr. E. H. Martin, of this City, the
son of the gentleman alluded to above,
was severely cut, and that Mr. Peeples
was killed.
It is not known who inflicted the
wound which caused the death of the
latter.
Our account may not be accurately
correct, but having come to us in a pro
liable form, we give it for what it is
wurtlt.
Gen. Walker.—Gen. Walker re
ceived a reinforcement of 105 men on
the 17th ult., most of them being Ken
tuckians and Tennesseeans, and on the
same day, a 300 ton schooner arrived,
laien with provisions for the army.—
Hostilities will be commenced against
Costa Rica about the middle of July.—
The pay of private soldiers in the Nic
araguan army, at present, is 60 cents
per week—just enough to pay for wash
ing. The officers get $3 and $6 per
week.
An Indiana paper announcing the
death of a gentleman, 41 out West,” says
that “tbe deceased, though a bank di
rector, is generally believed to have died
a Christian, and was much respected
while living.”
fM
Singular Case of Absence of
Misd in a Clergyman.—We find the
following in the Meriden (Conn.) Trans
cript :
“ The paragraph which we published
a week or two ago, giving an account of
a remarkable case of absent mindedness
which occurred in this town—a minister
having gone into the desk of a neighbor
ing vestry and conducted the services,
supposing that he was in l is own—hav
ing taxed the credulity of several of our
cotemporaries, wo take occasion here
to vouch for its entire correctness. Not
only was the reverend gentleman so ab
sorbed that he walked into the wrong
vestry and into the desk of a brother of
a different doctrinal faith, but he actual
ly opened the meeting, and had proceed
ed some ways with the services before
he discovered his error. Memtime,
brother No. 2 coming in found bis desk
occupied, and in a puzzled mood quiet
ly took his seat with the congregation,
determined to await further develop
ments. • Pliancy the pheelinks ’ of
brother No. 1 when brother No. 2 arose
and said that be had cotne in with the
expectation of presiding over the meet
iug as usual, but was happy to see his
desk so well occupied, and that he arose
simply to endorse the remarks which
his brother had just made. The congre
gation of brother No. 1, after waiting n
sufficient length of time, concluded that
from some cause they were in the pre
dicament of the * sheep without a shep
herd,’ and so appointed the deacon to
preside, and had an interesting meeting
on their own hook.”
Have Mercy on the Children.—
The Independent, in an article on the
physical degeneracy of the American
people, speaks as follows :
••The child's will govern too much.—
If they do not choose to go to bed they
■it up; if they choose certain articles
of food they must have them, parents
forgetting that instinct is no safe guide
in a child, w hatever it may be in an animal
So we see them in their delicate organ
izttion, keeping late hours when they
should go to bed with tile birds; sleep
ing often in warm and lighted rooms,
when the sleeping room should be cool
and dark, and eating hot bread,
pudding, and cake, and drinking tea
a.id codec to the infinite detriment of
nerves ard stomach. The injury thus
early done can never be repaired; as a
machine inijierfectly constructed at first,
can never be made to run faultlessly.
“This is the secret. Parents should
know that instinct is no safe guide for
a child, particularly when the child is
surrounded on all sides wiih poisonous
delicacies. To ask a child at a modern
table what it will have, and give it what
it asks for, merely because it asks for it,
is a very common practice. But it is
as cruel as it is common. Have mercy
on the children."
Mas Fukmont in the Field.—A
letter in the Charleston Courier, dated
New York. June 26, says :
There seems a determination to im
press tire wife of the Republican candi
date into the services of the coming
campaign. She too was called out last
night during a grand serenade to her
hu.-band, and bowed her thanks to the
tumultuous crowd. At the Republican
meeting last night the old practice of
1840 was recommended, of trying to
sing their candidate into the Presidency.
The song was about the “ Border Ruffi
ans,” and was set to the Marseillaise air.
Mrs. Fremont having been brought
so prominently into the canvass, it should
be determined what merits the other
two candidates have in woman kind.—
Mr. Fillmore is a widower and Mr. Bu
chanan is a bachelor. The Democrats
ought to remember that Mr. Buchanan
has a niece, who did the honors for the
American mission in London. She is
represented as “ beautiful exceedingly,’
accomplished and marriageable. If
therefore, the next. Presidency is to lie
decided by the fitness of the lady win is
to preside at the White House, Old
Buck’s chances w ill not la? so bad after
nil. Gallantry will compel all the tin
married men to promote the prospects
of Mr. Buchanan and of his niece.
Correct.—At a recent examination
of one of the schools in Cambridge, a
small boy was asked to define the mean
ing of the word “ progress.” He hesi
tated but a moment, and then, in a clear
voice, answered, “ Go ahead ! ”

De Quincy somewhere tells an anec
dote of a man who, on being threaten

cried out, “ Come on, both of you ! ”
*• Tom,” said a gentleman to his friend
in New York, on a Sabbath or two ago,
“ where shall we go to church to day !
“I don’t know,” was the reply, “ sup
pose we go and hear Ward Beecher.”
“What! * exclaimed the gentleman,
“ on Sunday!”
Gen. Washington’s Farm.—The
farm of Gen. Washington contained
about fifteen square miles. It was di
vided in farms of convenient size, at the
distance of two, three and five milts
from his mansion house. These farms
he visited every day in pleasant weather,
and was constantly making experiments
for the improvement of agriculture.—
Some idea of the extent of bis fanning
operations may be formed from the so!»
lowing facts:
Iu 1787 he had 580 acres under grass;
sowed 600 bushels of oats, 600 acres
with wheat, and as much more corn*
barley, potatoes, beans, peas, Ac., and
150 with turnips. His stock consisted
ot one hundred and forty horses, one
hundred and twelve cows, two hundred
and thirty-six working oxens, hiefers,
and steers, and five hundred sheep.—
He constantly employed two hundred
and fifty hands, and kept twenty-four
plows going during the whole year, when
the weather would permit. In 1786, he
slaughtered one hundred and fifty hogs,
for the use of his family and provision
for Lis negroes, for whose comfort he
had great regard.
An incorrigible wag, who lent a min
ister a horse which ran away and threw
his clerical rider, thought he should have
some credit for spreading the gospel!
“ Life is sweet, and death is bitter,’
said Sir Anthony Kingston to Bishop
Hooper, at the stake.
“ True, friend,” replied Hooper, “ but
the life to come is more sweet, and the
death to come more bitter."
Mouey and Time are the heaviest bur
dens of life, and the unlrappiest of all
mortals are those who have more of
either than they know how to use.
“Mother sent me,” said a little girl
to a neighbor, “to ask you to come and
take tea with her this evening.”
“ Did she say at what time, my dear J”
“ No, ma'am ; she ouly said she would
ask you, and then the thing would be
off her mind; that was all she said !’
OBITUARY.
Departed this life, on the 9th of June, at his
residence in Clark Cos., Benjamin Mcßis, aged
about 89 years. He was a native of Mecklenburg
Cos., N. C , but had resided in Georgia, for 58
years. An estimable citizen, he had as few
euemies as any man that ever lived ; and was nn
orderly member and for many years an Elder of
the Presbyterian Church. For a long time pre
vious to his death he was almost helpless, and
sat at his fireside awaiting the summons, to de
part. He is gom to his reward.
“The pains of death are past,
Labor and sorrow cease,
And life's tong warfare closed at last.
His soul is found in peace.
Soldier of Christ, well done!
Praise be thy new employ,
And while eternal ages run,
Rest in thy Saviour's Joy.”

Dr. M’Lane’s Celebrated Vermifuge
and Liver Pills*
Hy A singular combination, but very
effectual, as the following will show :
New York, November 20,1832.
Knowing, from experience, the valuable quali
ties of Dr. M'Lane'n Vermifuge and, lAver PW*,
by Fleming Bros, Pittsburgh, I have for somt
time back considered it my duty, and made it my
business, to make those articles known wherever
I went among my friends. A short time ago I
became acquainted with the case of the young
girl, who seemed to be troubled with the worms
and liver complaint at the same time, and had
been suffering for some two months. Through
my persuasion she purchased one bottle of Dr.
M'Lane’s Vermifuge , and one box of lAver Pill*,
which she took according to directions. The
result was she passed a large quantity of worms,
and thinks thal one box more of the Pills will
restore her to perfect health. Her name and
residence can be learned by calling on £. L.
Theali, Druggist, corner of Rutger and Monroe
street*.
Purchasers will be careful to ask
for Dr. M’Laue’a Celebrated Vermifuge, manu*
factored by Fleming Bros, of Pittsburgh, Pa.—
Ail other Verm fuges in comparison are worthies.--.
Dr. M’Ltne’s Vermifuge, also his celebrated
Liver Pills, can now be bad at all respectable
drug stores. None genuine without the signature
of 2 Fleming Bros.

favor of Dar’s Maoical Cleanser, from Gen.
John H. Rice, of the firm of Hoopeb A Rice,
Attorney!, Cassville, Ga.:
CassvilU, Ga., Hay 28 th, 1858.
Mr. A. C. Dat.—Dear Sir —lt is with pleasure
that I testify to the character and value of Day's
Magical Cleanseb, after haring used it for some
six or seven years. In the year 1850,1 was hav
ing a house built, and by accident, a small bucket
of ivory black was turned over upon anew laid
floor of my house, which when wiped up, left a
black spot as large as the bottom of a half bushel.
After rubbing this spot with strong soap suds, I
poured on it about three ounces of your Magical
Cleanser, and rubbed it over the spot well with
a cloth, for some five minutes, which removed
entirely all stain of the black from the floor.
I have frequently applied it to grease spots on
clothing, and have no hesitancy in saying that it
is far superior to anything of the kind I have ever
seen used. It removes the spots or stains with
out the slightest injury to the oolor or texture of
tbe goods, is easily applied, and requires but a
few moments to perform its work. .
Respectfully yours,
JOHN H. RICE.

i-ff” The Teeth. Their Treatment
and Cure.—The preservation of the teeth in a
sound, undecayed condition, through the “ seven
ages ” of life, even to the “last scene of all,” has
engaged the uuwearying efforts of some of the
most talented, devoted, and most successful dis
ciples of Esculapius, but to the renowned Dr.
Fontaioe was reserved the glory of giving to the
world, in the “ Balm of Thousand Flowers," the
best article yet discovered for strengthening and
beautifying the teeth aud adding the profession
of dentist to the long list of “ occupations goue.”
The " Balm,” as a dentifrice for cleansing the
teeth, is the most medicinal, harmless compound
which can be desired; it eradicates all tartar;
effectually prevents all decay, arresting its pro
gress wheu begun; cures ulcers, and makes the
gums fresh, roseate and strong.

HT Holloway’s Ointment and Pills,
certain Remedies for Bad Legs and Old Wounds.
—Alfred Goslet, aged 27, was for nine years
afflicted with an uwfully bad leg, there were
several wounds in it which defied all the doctors*
•kill and ingenuity to heal. He tried a variety of
remedies, but was not benefited by the same.
At last he was persuaded to hare recourse to
Holloway’s Ointment and Pills, these remedies
quickly effected a very favorable change, and by
continuing them unremittingly fur three months,
his leg was completely cured, and his general
health thoroughly established.
Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry*
From the New York Evening Mirror, Mag 25.
“Among all the Punaceus advertised for the
cure of human ailments, there is none in which
we have more confidence than Wistar’s Balsam
of Wild Cherry. We regard it as one of Nature’s
own preparations—simple, safe, pleasant to take
and almost certain to cure all billions and
pulmonary affections. We have witnessed its
wonderful effects in cases that were regarded as
hopelessly desperate, and we can conscientiously
recommend it as one of the best medicines in the
world.”
It has proven more efficacious as a remedy for
C nighs, Colds, Influenza, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption in its incipient stages, than
any other medicine,
None genuine unless signed I. Burrs on the
wrapper.
We advise those of our friends, in
a state of single blessedness, who would win the
idol of their hearts, and enjoy that domestic
felicity known only to those in married life, to
restore the hair on their bald pates, change their
gray locks to their original color, made them
glossy as silk, by using Professor Wood’s Hair
Restorative. It is now the standard remedy for
all diseases cf the hair and skin. —Louisville

Professor Wood:
I)kar Sir— l take pleasure in bearing volun
tary testimoney to the excellence of your Hair
Restorative. Three months ago, my hair was
very gray. It is now u dark brown (the original
color), smooth and glossy. The only application
I have made to it, has been the Hair Restorative
prepared by you, and which, from the result in
my own case, I can most cordially rccommeud
to others. Respectfully yours.

Vincennes , la., June 21, 1853.
Prof. 0. J. Wood —As you are about to manu
facture aud vend your recently discovered Ilttir
Restorative, I will state, for whomsoever it may
concern, that I have used it, und k»i.>wu others
to use it—that 1 have, for several years, been in
the habit of using other Hair Restoratives, and
that I find yours vastly superior to any other I
know. It entirely cleanses the head of dandruff,
and with one month’s proper use, will restore
any persou's hair to the original youthful color
and texture, giving it a healthy, soft and glossy
appearance; and ull this, without discoloring
the hands that apply it, or the dress on which it
drops. I would, therefore, recommend its use
to every one desirous of h iving a fine color and
texture to the hair. Respectfully yours,
Wilson Kino.
St. Jahiis, June 28, 1853.
Prof. Wood—As you are about to prepare and
vend your recently discovered Hair Restorative,
and as you request my opinion of it, I will state,
that rny hair was, a few month ago, very gray,
und after using two bottles of your Hair Restor
ative, it resumed its original color; and since its
application, all dandruff has disappeared from
my head, ands have been troubled with no dis
agreeable itching of the scalp. I am satisfied
that those who use it will not regret it, as it gives
the appearance of having boou recently oiled. I
am prepared, to recommend its use to
all who are desirous of having a beautiful head
of hair. 1 am, sir, yours, etc.,
H. L. Stewart.
Prof. Wood. Dear Sir: My hair had, for several
years, been becoming prematurely grav, accom
panied by a harshness which rendered the con
stant application of oil necessarv in dressing it.
When I commenced using your Hair Restorative,
about two months ago, it was in that condition;
and having continued its use till within the last
three weeks, it has turned to its natural color,
and assumed a softness and lustre greatly to be
preferred to those produced by the application of
oils or any other preparation I have ever used. I
regard it as an indispensable article for every
lady’s toilet, whether to be used as a Hair Re
storative, or for the simple simple purpose of
dressing or beautifying the hair. You have per
mission to refer to me all who entertain any
doubt of its performing all that is claimed for it.

Prof. O. J. Wood —Allow me to attest the vir
tues and magic powers ofyour Hair Restorative.
Three months since, being exceedingly gray, I
purchased, and soon commenced to use, two
bottles; und it soon began to tell, in restoring
silver locks to their native color, and tbe hair,
which was before dry and harsh and falling off,
now became soft and glossy, and it ceased failing;
the dandruff disappeared, and tbe scalp lost all
its disagreeable itching, so annoying before, and
now, l not ouly look, but feel young again.
