Newspaper Page TextTHE <lj\ ZETTE. Wednesday, October 8,1873. w ■ ■ -- ~ 1 DISTILLEIIiES AND THE REVENUE LAWS. Tkfe Atlanta Constitution of the 25th ult., contains an article from J. A. Holtz claw, Collector of Internal revenue, 4th • District of Georgia, on the -subject of le gal distilleries. From this it appears that a legal distillery is not such an ex tensive and expensive affair after all. A store-house 10x12, built of logs or rough plank, and a few feet of piping is all the extra expense, and S3O or S4O will cover that, distillers can be set up making any quantity from 8 to 10 gallons or upwards, and the distiller has to pay seventy cents a gallon ; no other tax; and can, if he prefers, defer this payment to any time within a year. The Government pays the gauger and the store-keeper. The Collector advises parties about to "commence distilling to visit the distillery "of Cox & Hill, at Stone Mountain on the Georgia railroad, and see what is re quired ; also to confer with their store keeper, who will give desirable informa tion as to how a distillery may be con structed so as to run with the least labor and the greatest profit— [Watchman. We find in the Medical Record an ac count of a cure in a case of hydrophobia. A little girl was bitten by a mad dog who tore out of her right cheek a piece the size of a silver dollar, and also bit her right arm and leg. She was treated by immediately cauterizing the wounds with a saturated solution of carbolic ac id, and keeping them wet constantly with a weather solution of the same, while two drops of liquor ammonia for tis were given her every two hours in water. Three days afterwards the pla ces were again cauterized with nitrate of silver and the dose of ammonia was in creased to three drops. This treatment was continued till August 9, the wound not being allowed to be dry a single in stant during the whole period, and they were healed without leaving a scar. As two years have since elapsed without symptoms of the poison, it is believ ed that the patient is entirely out of danger. ANOTHER FATAL BALLOON ASCENSION. Prof. J. W. Bailey, made a balloon as cension from the Fair Grounds, near Wapello, lowa. At the appointed hour balloon was cut loose, Bailey hanging by his hands to the horizontal bar beneath. Just after the balloon, which was infla ted with hot air, left the ground, it took fire near the mouth. Bailey did not ap parently see the fire until he was too high to let go with safety. He hung on until he had reached an altitude of 1,200 or 1,500 feet, when the canvas that held the hoop from which he was suspended burned away and he fell, reaching the earth not far from the point of starting. His body was fearfully mangled, liis legs being driven into the ground up to the knees. ♦ The Southern Cultivatoe, for October, is, like the Cultivator for all months in the year, filled with practial knowledge for the farmer. No farmer ought to be without this really good work. CURRENT NOTES. A bug somewhat resembling the cock roach is taking possession of houses in New York city, and causing great annoy ance. The lateat case is the discovery of a defalcation in the Pittsburg, Pa., post office to the amount of $33,000. The Atlanta Herald has positive in formation that Foster Blodgett will re retum to Georgia in less than thirty 'days and tand his trial for the offences with which Ire is -charged. Wickliffe, the defaulting auditor of Louisiana under War moth, was ar rested in Brooknele, Campbell county, Va., on Monday, by three New Orleans detec tives. A Washington telegram says the Pres ident has tendered the office of Chief Justice to Senator Conkling, and that he will accept the position. Hudson Halford, colored, who killed Frank Gallagher, a white man, in 1871, has been sentenced in the Chattahoochee Superior Court to be hung on the 21st of November. A kerosene engine to drive sewing ma chines has been made. A red-hot aerolite came whizzing down through the trees at Marysville, Califor nia, recently, burying itself eight feet deep in the ground. It weighed twelve pounds, and was so hot even after an hour had been spent in digging it up that it set fire to the cart in which it was being carried to town. John A. Dix, Governor of the State of Ne*y York, Thurlow Weed one of the oldest editors in the United States, and Daniel Drew, the Wall street Methodist millionaire, tp - e pensioners on the gov- erumen t, they having been soldiers of the war of 1812. Weed played a fife, Dix carried the flag and Drew carried a mus ket. A seventeen year old horse thief in Murray county has been sent to the pen itentiary for ten years. Quite an early and thorough beginning. During the war a Federal soldier took from the house of Gen. Joe Davis, in Mississippi, an elegant album of paint ings, which was the property of Mrs. Jefferson Dans. The book was a very elegant one, the paintings being illustra tions of Chinese life, and were executed in that country. It was presented to Mrs. Davis by the American Minister to China, during the time that Mr. Davis was Secretary of War. An ex-Federal officer learning these facts concerning the album, recently obtained possession of the valuable book, and at once forward ed it to its owner. The Bainbridge Democrat, referring to the late storm, says: “The cotton crop suffered severely, and is cut short many hundred bales. The sugar cane is also very greatly damaged. The Chat tahoochee section of the county suffered none, it not being in the track of the storm. The unfinished Episcopal church was blown down and several shops de stroyed, besides many building being damaged.” Gen. Bean regard met with a very se vere accident while on a recent visit to the battle-field of Bull Run. He fell with his horse, and not off of him bruis ed his leg and broke his thumb. It is odd that this accident should befall him at the scene of his greatest good luck. The prosecution of a railroad conduc tor under the Arkansas Civil Rights law for expelling a colored person from a first class car has resulted in a singular discovery. The statute, by the omission of the word “not,” negatives itself. It reads thus: “No person ** *' shall make any rule or rules * * * which shall affect all persons alike, without regard to race or color,” the penalty for viola tion of the statute being a fine of not less than SIOO nor more than SSOO. By the omission of “not,” between “which shaT” and “affect” it is made incumbent upon railroads and other public corpo rations and servants <to make a distinc ou account of color. The law was pass ed by Claytcn’s Grant Legislature, aud the negroes are wondering whether they mean it. A committee of the Georgia Press As sociation was appointed at the last meet ing of the association to take all the necessary steps for the formation of a National Press Association. Having re ceived favorable responses and assuran ces of hearty co-operation in the project from newspaper from various States, the committee through the last Sandersville Herald, has issued a call for a Conven tion of journalists throughout the Un ion, to assemble at St. Louis on Wed nesday, the 26th day of November, 1873, to organize a National Press Associa tion. Wilkie Collins, the English novelist, reached New city by the steamer Alge ria on Thursday, accompanied by Chas. Fechter, the tragedian, who had been one of his fellow voyagers. He stopped at the Westminster Hotel, and has the rooms which were used by Charles Dickens in his last visit to this coun try. REPORT Of the Town Council fob Year ending September 30, 1873. RECEIPTS.

THE FAVORITE HOME REMEDY, ZE? A I IST KILLER, Has been before the public over thirty years , and probably has a wider and better reputation than any other proprietary medicine of the present day. At this period there are but few unacquaint ed with the merits of the Pain Killer; but while some extol it as a liniment, they know but litile of its power in easing pain when taken internal ly ; while others use it internally with great sue cess, but are equally ignorant of its healing vir tues when applied externally. We therefore wish to say to all, that it is equally successful, wheth er tued internally or externally. It is sufficient evidence of its viitues as a standard medicine to know that it is now used in all parts of the world, and that its sale is constantly increasing. No curative agent has had such a wide-spread sale or given such universal satisfaction. Davis’Pain Killer is a purel3-vegetable com pound, prepared from the best and purest mute rials, and with a care that insures the most per fect uniformity in the medicine; and while it is a most effecthe remedy for pain, it is a perfectly safe medicine, even in the most unskilful hands. It is eminently a Family Medicine-, aud by be ing kept ready for immediate resort, will save many an hour of suffering and many a dollar in time and doctors’ bills After over thirty years' (rial, it is still receiv ing the most unqualified testimonials lo its vir tues, from persons of the highest character and responsibility. Eminent Physicians commend it as a most effectual preparation for the extinction of pain. It is not only the best remedy ever known, for Braises, Cuts. Burns, &c,,bntforDys eatery or Cholera, or any sort of bowel complaint it is a remedy unsurpassed for efficiency and ra pidity of action, In the great cities of India, and other hot climates, it has become the standard medicine lor all such complaints, as weU as for Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, and all otter kin dre , disorders. For Coughs and Colds, C -raker, Asthma, and Rheumatic difficulties, it has been proved by tl e most abundant and convincing testimony to be an invaluable medicine. We would caution the public against all imi tations of our preparation, either in name or style of nutting up. sep3-lm Express Line TO WASHINGTON.

If VEGETABLE )] THE ONLY Kwuw JM MILDICINE That at the same time Purges, IPurifies and Strengthens the System. Dr. Tutt’a Pills are composed of many ingre dients. Prominent among them are Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherrv, so united as to act together; the one through its admixture with other sub stances, purifying and purging, while the other is|strengthening the system. Thus these Pills are at the same time a tonic and a cathartic, a desideratum long sou.ht fl r by medical men, bntnever before discovered. In uther wordsthey do (he work of two medicines and do it much better than any two we know of, foi they remove nothing from the system but impurities, so that while they purge they also strengthen and hence cause no debility and are followed by no reaction Dr. Tutt’s Fills h ive a wonderful influence on the blood. They not only purify without weak ening it, hut tbcj- remove all noxious particles from the chyle befoie it is converted into fluid, and thus makes impure blood an utter impossi bility. As there is no debilitat.on, so there is no nausea or sickness attending the ope ration of this most excellent medicine, which never strains or tortures the digestive organs, b- t causes them to work in a perfectly natural manner; hence persons taking them do not be come pale and emaciated, but on the contrary, while all impurities are being removed, the combined action of the Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry puiilies and invigorates the body, and a robust state of health is the result of then united action.
