BY' TILE STATE.
SOLOMON C. WHITE, SWORN.
I was in front of Schneider’s on the night
of the 37th of July; was there about live
minutes before the shooting began; was
present when the policeman rapped; Mr.
Archer and Red were standing at the tree
box; Archer seemed so drunk as to be un
able to hold himself up. Red had both
arms around him; did not think that there
was such a disturbance as would' jusfify the
nolicemtm in calling for help. I so told
Evans when he came up, Red Svas trying to
get Archer in his carriage; saw no resistance
or threats of violence towards the policeman
at that time. Archer remarked, after the
rapping, to the tjiolicemei), wliat are you
going to do abirtit it; Red remarked yes,
what in the hell live you got to do with it
• anyhow, we are going off, take our names
and report us; cannot say whether or not
they were going off; but Picquet had
already gotten in (Carriage) as it stood near
by, also the crippled billiard player had
gotten in; I know Rowland, did not see
him; liad the police not rapped, don’t think
there would have been any fuss; saw only
Archer drunk. Witness here corrected the
above remark by Archer to the policeman.
Me addressed him as to what he had to do
with it; it was said before he rapped for
assistance; the policeman told him that he
would show him what he had to do with it,
and commenced rapping. I saw Alexander
Phillip there that night; come past me and
went to the crowd and told them he wanted
no fuss there. Phillip’s intention seemed to
be to quiet Mr. Picquet, and some other per
son I did not recognize; the back of the
person with whom Picquet was quarrling
was towards the wall; cannot say who did
the firing, heard it, and also the lie passed
between the parties; the pistol was fired by
somebody up next to the building, on the
inside of Picquet; don’t think’ Rea fired the
first shot; Red stood near to Picquet. lam
very sure that the firing come from towards
the wall. At the first shot, Picquet falling
before the shot, I’hillip also foil; I thought
Picquet fell from belli" knocked down; my
best opinion is that Phillip fell at the first
(fire); the shot that felled’Phillip came from
some person near the wall, between it and
Picquet. At the time of the first shot, Red
Stood close to the right elbow of Picquet; I
could easily distinguish Red by his having
on light clothes; I next saw hinflying on
the ground; did not think Phillip intoxica
ted; am acquainted with his habits as to
temperance; he is a temperate man of late
years.
cross examination.
Phillip (came) out of the door and went
immediately to the crowd; 1 was standing
on the Ellis street side of the door from.
The party were standing near the billiard
robin door; after the rapping, Picquet got
out of the carriage and canto to the crowd ;
the crowd scattered some after the shot; it
was about a minute from the time Phillip
came out that the first shot was fired; Pic
quet was facing tire wall; Phillip came in
between him and the person, side of the
wall; Red was to the right of Picquet, and
Opposite or to the left of the party towards
the wall; Picquet’s back inclined diagonally
across Jackson towards Ellis street; 1 am
certain it was Red to his right; there were
six or eight present; Picquet spoke some
thing after he got out of the parriagc con
fronted the party side of the wall; Tieard
Picquet say it was a d—d lie; cannot say
who commenced the cursing; did not sec
Phillip after he entered the crowd until he
fell; was looking at Archer, when the first
shot was fired; the carriage was near the
side walk, and a little to the right of the
crowd; had no idea of firing (meaning tliat
he had no idea that there would be any
firing); I saw- the flashes of several pistols,
the first several fires were so very close to
gether tliat I could not separate them; almost
were instantaneous; I did not speak ton
policeman to stop that fuss; lam positive of
that; I told Mr. Evans I could not see any
necessity for all this rapping. Evans went
immediately to tlie crowd; Evans told me
subsequently that he was shot; did not show
me where at that time; I spoke to Evans as
he passed me. As I stepped from Uie door 1
am positive that I spoke as above to Evans;
was not running when I spoke to him; kept
on to the crowd; I did not say' to si watch
man to stop that fuss; did uotsee any watch
man; did not tell Charles McCalla that night
that I had asked a policeman to stop that
fuss; the only watchman I spoke to was the
one that rapped; was there five or ten min
. utes; when the shooting began he looked
out for number one; sought shelter from th*
shots in the door jam of the barber .shop; I
heard vulgar language used on that occasion;
it was done while hugging each other. * *
[The language being too vulgar and indecent
for publication, has been omitted.— Ed],
REBUTTAL BY THE STATE.
This language was used just before the
watchman ‘ came up; was spoken in an
ordinarily conversational tone. There was
some cessation between the first and last
shooting; the last shot seemed to be in the
street; there was a cessation of a half min
ute between the rapid firing and the last shot,
which was in the street• Phillip came into
the crowd on the right of Picquet, nnd was
lost in it; he came into the left of the person
side of the -wall. "
SERRBBUTTAL BY THE DEFENSE.
I was hot near enough’to hear any remark
of Evans’, but he seemed to be for quiet,
and never saw him any more till after the
fuss, when he told me that he was wounded;
said he was wounded somewhere about the
head.
MAUGE NEWSOME, SWORN.
I remember the night of the shooting in
front of Schneider’s: lam second bar-keeper
at Schneider’s; there was talk in the bar
mom of a horse trade, but no unusual fuss.
Mr. Phillip's occupation Was to stay at
Schneider’s; I saw him More and after he
was wousded; be wus not drunk nor under
the influence of liquor; had not taken a
' unnk sinbe Christmas, unless it be lieer; saw
rm* 3 Picquet there on the night of the
difficulty, he was not drunk; Rea was also
there, but not drunk; Archer was the only
one there that was drunk; Rowland was

sober; 1 heard no unusual noise on the out
side of the building; was at my side on the
inside; my attention was called to the outside
by the rapping of a policeman on the side or
lower sill of the building. There are two
windows and a door to the bar-room; the
door is a close or blind door; the windows
were down; I mean by down tliat the two
sashes were down, leaving the upper portion,
of the window open; as soon as the rapping
was heard the bar was immediately closed
by myself and Kulkcr; it was closed a long
time before the firing began.
CROSS EXAMINATION.
I usually close up the,bar-room at 11
o’clock; I mean a man who stag
fers and falls down‘T, consider real drunk;
mean that a man is tight when he takes a
drink or two; Picquet was not tight, but
under the inlleuce of liquor. Question by
defeudonls counsel,, did you not tell Mr.
Evans on Calhoun street, on Tuesday night
after the difficulty, in the presence of Rich
mond Owen and Richard Thomas, that Red
did shoot the first pistol, and thatlie, witness
saw him, and'that he would go and swear to
it anywhere ? Witness answered that he did
not, and coukl not have seen it as both win
dows Jhkl the door were closed, nor did he
say any filing about Red firing the first shot,
but did talk to him otherwise about the diffi
culty. Did you not tell Ihc’defendtait in the
city of AugustUj on Tuesday night after the
difficulty, and m (lie presence of Richard
Thomas, tliat as Dillon tinned <pff to go to
Pipquet,'you saw Cornelius Red walk up to
luin and shoot him in the back? I did not,
as I was in the bar and it locked up. Did
you not say to Mr. Evans at the Augusta
Jail, on Sunday last in the presence of Rich
ard Thomas, and a part of the time in the
presence of Edwin F. Blodgett and Richard
Thomas, that when Mr. Phillip had Mr.
Evans nearly down, Mr. Evans raised to
protect himself and knocked Mr. Phillip
down, that when he saw who it was, that
Evans walked away, (hat Mr. Evans could
have killed Phillip when he had him down
if he had wanted to ; that you saw this from
the window or words to that effect ? I did
not say so; I had a conversation with Evans,
but did not say ms above. Did you not volun
tarily go down to the jail to sec Mr. Evans?
Answer, I did not, Thomas and myself were
going to the cemetery, and he said to me,
lets go and see Mr. Evans, I replied all right
and went in.
REBUTTAL BY THE STATE.
1' was carried to the jail by Richard
Thomas—he invited me in. ‘I do not mean
by carried that I was lifted in—was invited
by Thomas. The conversation with Evans
on Tuesday night began by Evans and
Richard Thomas coming up to me. I told
them good evening, and asked Evans if he
was wounded any where. He replied, yo, a
little place on the top of my head. We all
halted together near West Blodgett’s liouse.
Was on the night after the shooting. There
is no light in front of bar room, but one in
front of billiard saloon. The Globe has
oysters engraved on it. That lamp has not
been lighted since oyster season went out,
THOMAS F. GLEASON. SWORN.
I was present at Schneider’s on the night
of the difficulty. Was there before the
policeman rapped. 1 heard a nbise there
but no, sufficient to draw a crowd. Think
Archer hallowed once. After the rapping
the first policeman 1 saw was Evans. lie
asked for Dillon. Evans had his hand upon
his hip as if to draw a pistol .Afterwards
saw Dillon come up, and passing Red, walk
ed immediately up to Picquet and put a
derringer pistol in his face; cursed him and
toldhim that he had to stop it, (the fuss.)
Louis Picquet then told him he was unarmed.
Picquet referred to something in a p.tper,
when Dillon called him a d—d liar.
Picquet cursed him and asked him,
how dare he put a derringer in his face. I
next saw Phillip run out in his shirt sleeves,
and remarked let us have peace, and ran in
between Dillon and Picquet. I next heard a
pistol fired in the crowd—don’t know who
fired it. Shortly afterwards heard two ad
ditional shots, when 1 saw Red fall. Don’t
know*whether Red was hit before falling or
not, but he had his pistol on his hip and til ed
as he fell—he also caught at a tree as be
fell. After he was on the ground, saw a
man run out and shoot at him. Don’t know
who it was. As the man shot, I.turned from
him mid stepped in the door a little. 1 then
turned and saw Evans beating I’hillip over
the head. Cannot say with what he was
striking him, but hoard the licks. I heard
Red ray, you have, murdered me. don’t
butcher me. I went out and took hold of
his hand and asked him if lie (was) hurt. He
replied, yes; I am shot all to pieces., A
carriage came up and asked if anybody was
hurt. ’ I replied, yes; Red was shot all to
pieces. 1 then w cut up to the billiard room
when I was asked if anybody was hurt. I
told them ve*>, Red was shot. 1 reuMuned in
the billiard room a while, and when I re
turned they were carrying off' Red. I saw
nothing in Evans’ hand before 1 saw him
striking Phillip. 1 heard the licks but don’t
know with what he was striking. Before
the fuss began,and just as Red came out of
tlicbar room, he asked Floyd Thomas where
he was going, lie replied, to bed. Red then
said, let me have your derringer. Thomas
handed him the pistol. The pistol was' a
derringer.
CROSS- EXAMINATION.
I live on Grcend street above Cumming. 1
am a shoemaker. 1 was coming down Broad
street and went into Volgcr’sto get a cigar,
and came out to the comer. Heard some
one hallow. ■ 1 remarked to a young man
with me that Red must be on a drunk. The
•young man that was with me was here just
now. Have not heard the testimony. Was
here when they called the witnesses the first
day. As my name was not called I went
off to work. I told several I went off
to work. 1 told Pal Otis in the billiard
saloon who was hurt—think he was the man
who asked me. I had no particular reason
for going in the Milliard saloon. Went there
immediately after the carriage came. The
carriage was Archer’s. This was not the
first time, I sew the carriage there. Saw .it
thereon the first of the difficulty—as the
first two shots were fired. I am confident
tliat the carriage came back. The carriage
went off when the fifing commenced, and
lyme. Irak whoiut was over. Some one in
it asked if anybody was hurt. I replied to
them, yes, Re cl. 1 was standing about fifteen
or twenty feet from the carriage when it
came back. Red fell »ut three or four feet
from the tree. His feet was about tlrree feet
from the tree. Don’t know how far the
carriage was from Red’s body when it
stopped. 1 had jhst left Red when the
carriage came up. I turned and looked at it
as it came up and went on. The carriage
was passing with the horses in a walk when
I was spoken to. Were some people in the
entrance, (meaning entrance of saloons) Otis
met me at the heud of the stairs. Was going
up stairs to go through to Broad street to
keep -from getting shot. Thought I might
get shot. I took him by the hand. I only
recognized the' policeman, Picquet, Phillip
and lied. Went to Red and asked liim if he
was hurt, and he replied yes. I am.-shot all
to pieces. I went to assist him, but left him
as they commenced talking loud again. They
urn talking loudly but not enough to hear
nt tlic Globe. I’thought 1 distinguished
Red’s voice fronrthe comer. Went in and
saw that it was Archer and not Red,, Did
not go further in than Hie door. They re
mained in the bar room five minutes, when
they came out. Was near the window when
they cajne out. Heard them talking about
a Ixiiid and serenade. Archer ballowfd,
hurrah for the gals in New York. Said he
was going out to see the women—said it
loud enough to have I>cen heard on Broad
street. The almve was all I remember hair
ing him say that was vulgar. I heard no
vulgar language but some cursing. The
billiard room door was between them and
me. I was eight or ten feet (from them;)
had any vulgar language been used, think I
would have heard it. Saw the policeman
when he came up. He told them tliat that
fuss must be stopped. Archer replied, all
right Red said to the policeman that it
was Useless to make any arrest but to go and
report the case. Red then remarked to the
crowd that the fuss must be stopped seem
ed to be assisting the polfccUlan. The police*
iimn said if it was not stopped he would lyive
it stopped. Dillon went right up to Picquet.
Red was near to Picquet’s right when Dillon
came up and put his pistol in Picquet’sface.
Red was on Picquet’s right mid Dillon’s left.
I (am) positive that Dillon walked up and
put his pistol in Picquet’s face, and cursed
him before Picquet. said anything to lum.
I saw Picquet go to the carriage before the
nipping commenced. He got in. Saw him
get out. Don’t know what made him
get out. Picquet asked the policeman what
lie would do if the fuss was not stopped.
When Phillip came up, the pistol went off.
Don’t, know who fired it Pistols were fired
rapidly afterwards—two 1 know, when 1 saw
Red falling and catching at the tree. Red
fired his pistol as he fell. Did not see who
lie fired at. It was pointed towards the bar
room. Did not know where the police were
when he fired. Picquet had been knocked
down. I’hillip was also down. Did not see
him knocked down. He fell near Rod.
Don’t know how- close to him. I will swear
that he was two feet from him. Paid no
particular attention to it as I did not expect
to be a witness. Saw Red get a pistol from
Thomas. Igo to the billiard room frequent
ly. Don’t drink often, £lad not taken a
drink that night I lid not take a drink with
Red that night. Took a drink with him
about six months ago. Have never been a
witness before. I know what I have sworn
to. Positive about it. I am confident that
the carriage came up. Don’t know which
way the carriage went. It came from to
wards Ellis street, and was going towards
Broad street. When the firing began, it
went towards Ellis street. Keener Was with
me. No one has talked (with) me about the
case except some boys on the night of the
fuss. Talked to a good many —Andrew
Colvin was one of them. Can’t think of
who the others were. Don’t know Annie
Ross. Know Annie Phillips. Have heard
her called Annie Ross. I had no conversa
tion with her that night. May have the
night after. May have told her that I was
there and saw Red shot. Annie Ross is a
woman. Some one came in directly after I
entered, when I left. 1 rememlier nothing
else that I said to her. I did not say to her
the night after the difficulty that 1 became
frightened and ran away. 1 don’t board at
all. Stay at home on Greene street. Don’t
stay at Annie Ross’ house every night. Was
not there that night, (the 27th.) I went
out to Broad and came out through Jackson.
Went to Red’s house that pight. Remained
there about a quarter, of an hour. 1 went
home tliat night and slept. Have not been
in the court room during this examination.
Have had no talk with the Counsel until I
came to the stand. Louis Picquet told me
to come down to the City Hall, at 3 o’clock,
was all that passed between us. He asked
mo last night if I knew anything of the fuss.
Told him I was there awl saw it-all. Did
not tell him what I could prove. I an-posi

When I saw the carriage coming from
Ellis street, it was after the difficulty Was

horsts’ heads were turned towards Ellis
street. lam a shoemaker. Work with him,
and live with him. (The record does not

cn abi.es d. m’cay, sworn.
I have had a conversation with the De
fendant since the difficulty at Schneider’s;
as 1 came out (of) a house with Bob and Joe
1 [arris and Samuel Riser on the night of the
difficulty, I had just heard of the dilliculty;
as 1 came out of the gale, 1 saw Mr. Evans
and a negro boy; I mistook Evans for
Hiraiu Wood, and addressed him—(said)
how are you Hiram? he answered how are
you Charley? I said, do you know anything
of this difficulty of Red’s; he said yes, I was
there; I then saw that he was Mr. Evans; 1
said, well Evans, tell us about it; he said
this party was there making a fuss when the
policeman ordered them to slop; they abused
the iioliccman when he rapped for assistance;
Dillon and myself w’erc walking up the
street, when we ran over there; I went up
to lied and said, Red, don’t have any fuss;
Rod said, 1 will not, and put his pistol in his
pocket I then went to Thomas Archer and said,
Tom, don’t make any fuss—he said, I won’t,
I am for peace ; he said, then the fuss was
over—quieted—and stated that he had been
up to Red in four or five fusses and always
found him easily quieted—peculiarly so;
Louis Picquet commenced cursing Dillon,
and called him a d—d liar; Dillon called
Picquet back a d—d liar, when Red walked
up, and did it in a very cowardly manner,
towards Dillon’s side, put his pistol to his
side and shot- Alexander Philip ran out with
a knife, and 1 knocked him down with the
butt of my pistol, and coukl have killed Idm.
but did not want to hurt him; witness then
asked him what became of Picquet—Evans
answered, he ran, and said it was no use talk
ing, everybody ran; there were only four of
us left on the ground—l’hillip, Dillon, Red
and myself; he then placed tjvo of our party
in ixisitlcHi to represent Dillon and Picquet
and showed us the way Red shot him—com
ing up from the side and rear of him; some
one in our crowd asked Sir. Evans [f lieshot;
his reply was, I should Uilliß I did—Hunk
these were his exact words; I asked E rails
who was hurt; he replied that Red was siiot
pretty badly—Dillon through tlic side, aud
he himself got a slight scratch on the fore
head, and put his finger on the place but was
so dark Z could not see it; he said it was
only a slight cut and did not hurtTiim,

PETEK CRTTZ, SWORN.
I was in front of Schneider’s on the night
of the difficulty; was to the right of the bar
room door as you come out, with two other
gentlemen, in conversation; was present
when the policeman rapped; J heard no noise
to attract my attention from the conversa
tion ; was first attracted by tlic rap of the
policeman; saw nor heard anything to
justify the interference of the iiolice; first
noise I heard was the rapping of the police
man; saw Archer then; thought he was
drunk; saw Louis Picquet there—think he
was sober; saw Rowland there—he was
sober; 7 wa« in the Mar room with them;
Red was sober; Archer was the only drunk
en man in the party; also saw Pliillip—he
was sober.
JOSHUA K. EVANS, SWORN.
1 was standing in front of Schneider’s on
tlic night of the dilliculty at the time of the
rapping of the policeman; heard some talk
ing, nothing to attract attention. My atten
tion was first called to the rapping of the
policeman; I saw Phillip in the store about
20 minutet before the difficulty; saw Louis
Picquet, also Row'land, Red and Archer; Mr.
Archer was the only one of them 1 con
sidered drunk, he seemed by no metuisqnarrel
some, but very happy; saw quite a party
present, but no others drunk.
CKOBB EXAMINATION.
Suppose the whole party were under the
influence of liquor, who had taken a drink
Picquet had taken a drink: I was interested
in a"conversation with Mr. McKinnio and
Critz; brard nothing that passed between the
party; 1 was within six or eight feel of the
aliovc party; had there been any uuuftial
noise, would have heard it; my opinion is
that any man is under the influence of liquor
who has taken a drink. ,
milledge m’kinnik, sworn.
I was in front of Schneider’s on the night
of the shooting; was present when the
jMiliccman rapped, I heard no noise requiring
it, but some talking; Joshua Evans, Gritz
andJnysclf were in conversation about busi
ness, on which I had been to Savannah;
heard nothing to attract our attention until
the rapping of the watchman; was first
attracted by tliat rapping; after the nipping
saw policemen conic up in a very short time;
only knew Dillon, knew him Ijocuusc 1 had
baa business with him, knew no other iwlicc
man; Dillon and Picquet were quarreling; I
went up to them from the op|xislte side of
the door; Dillon struck at Picquet when I
caught his arm. and told him that he could
not strike a one leggtfd man where I was;
heard no remark from Picquet alxiut fire
arms; I was within tliree or four fec't of
Dillon and Picqtict when the firing com
menced ; I heard the first pistol that fired;
did not sec who tii'ed it; saw the flash of it
over my left shoulder in the direction of
where Dillon, Phillipund Picquet were stand
ing ; Phillip came out to stop tlic quarreling
between Dillon and Picquet; told them that
they must have no difficulty there; Phillip
was in his shirt sleeves; Was not armed that
I saw; Shaw and myself assisted Phillip to
is room after he hud been shot; I saw no
mis upon him. Previous to the shooting I
heard no citizen threaten violence towards
the police; Phillip Is a Magistrate; I don’t
think Picquet was under the influence of
liquor; am positive that Phillip was not; did
not see Rowland at all; Red liad been drink
ing that night, but seemed to be doing every
thing in his power to make the peace, some
thing rather unusual for him. The bar-room
was neing closed at the time the firing com
menced; know nothing of a globe fight in
front of the bar-room or saloon, may have
been there; the night was not very bright;
saw all I have testified to by Gas light; the
Billiard room up stairs was lighted up.
CROSS EXAMINATION.
Heard no vulgar language used by any one

Mesnrs. BROWN, COOMBS & CO., Propria
tors of the AMERICAN ARTISAN, otter their
best services to inventore, aa Solicitors of Ameri
can and Foreign Patents. Mr. HenryT. Brown,
of this firm, has had more than twenty-two year.'
experience iu that profession, both iu this country
and Europe, and his long practice hss made
him personally known to thousands of inseu
tors and patentees. The applications for the
patents upon many of the greater and more im
portant iu ventions’of the present century have been
prepared by him. Messrs. Brown, Coombs Si. Co.,
are thoroughly familiar with all the rules and re
gulations instituted for tiie rapid transaction of
business with the United States Patent Office, and
the genetai practice iu the Patent Bureaus of vari
ous European countries; uud t liis knowledge ren
ders them confident tliat their post experience, with
their present unequaled facilities, enables them to
elaborately and yet speedily prepare all the docu
ments required by law iu applications for patents,
and to promise their clients an abtoiute certainly
ofeucceee'nt theiijetforts to.obtainJLettersjPatentfor
inventions that ate really new and useful. Parti
cular care is given to the execution of the accurate
dTawinfft which must always accompany every
application for a patent, and they employ none but
the most efficient draughtsmen. The best evidence
of the manner in which Messrs. Brown, Coombs
& Co.’s business is performed, is, that the “Amku
ic.in Artisan Patent’Aoenct, ’’during the three
years of its existence, has been the most incces.ful
'mslilntion of the kind ever eslabluhed.
The principal offices of Messrs. Brown. Coom hs
&. Co. are situated at 180 Broadway, opposite John
street, New York, in the most central part of the
city. This location is one of very easy access by
strangers.inasmuch as it is within a stone’s throw
from the City Hall. All inveutora temporarily so
journing in the metropolis are invited to visil-tliis
establishment. In|t lie majority of instance no model
or drawing of an invention will be necessary on
the first interview, as a mere oral description by
the visitor will ordinarily suffice to convey such
aknowledge of bis invention as will enable Messrs.
Brown, Coomb’ & Co. to definitely determine
whethera machine or process is new or old —paten
table or not. The office hours are from 9a.m.
to 5 r. m.
Messrs. Brown, Coombs & Co. are prepared to
furnish to persons residing at a distance from New
York—free of charge— written opinions as to
whether inventions contain any features of paten
table uovelty; to do this thay simply require a
sketch or rou.ijli model of the machine or other in
vention that is supposed to be new, together with
a brief description of the same, and us soon as pos
sible thereafter a letter of the best advice is mail
ed to the person desiring the information. These
opinions are formed from their own mature exper
ience; but if an inventor deeffes to know, positively,
whether his incipient idea has ever iieen embodied
in a machine or process already patented, liis wisest
course will be to have & preliminary examination
made at tl» United States Patent office by Messrs.
Brown, Coomhs & Co., who will make a special
seiirchjiuiong all the records of that institution, and
then promptly forward a full and carefully written
report as to the patentability of the invention un
der examination. For this tabor the small fee of
|5 is payable iu advance; uud the remittance
should be accompanied by a sketch of the invention
und a few lines of writing describing the sains,
and distinctly stating those points of uovelty which
the inventor desires to have protected by Letters-
Pateut
Patents for new and useful inventions are now
granted for the term of seventeen years Tlio
first instalment oflhe Government fee is sls, which
sum—together with fifty cents revenue stamp tax
on the power-of attorney— is payable in advance,
on applying for the potent; and s2l) additional are
due to uie Government when tlie Lctters l’atenlare
allowed. The Agency fee ie from $25 upward, ac
cording to the labor involved; but in all cases our
charges will be as modulate as possible in the pre
paration of drawings aud all necessary documenta.
This fee is not payable until after the application
has been prepared and tlie case is ready to be sent
to Washington. Messrs. Brown. Coombs A Co.
have a branchin Washington bo that all applies
tious made through them can have every necessary
attention in their passage through the Patent Office.
Inventors applying for patents must furnish
model, of their machines, whenever possible, for
the inspection of the Examiners in the Patent
Office; but if the invention is a chemical composi
tiun, samples of all the ingredients will be neces
sary. Each of these should be marked with the in
ventor's name, then carefully boxed, aud sent (by
express, prepaid), together with the first ins tai men
of the Government fee, to Messrs Brown , Coombs
& Co. When the model is small and light, it can
be conveniently and cheaply sentby mail. The
model must not exceed one foot in any of itsdimens
ious, unless it is of such a character that it is im
practicable.
Patents, es«v|,t those for designs, are granted
or equal-terms to cilieens and all foreigners, except
inhabitants of Canada and some others of tbe
British American Provinces.
Besides patents or new and useful inventions,
there are iflso granted patents for designs.
Design-patents are not now, as formerly, limited
strictly to arnamcnlat configuration ; but under
Section JI of the Act of March 2,1861. any new
/m m ofany article, orany impreneion or figure upon
the surface of any article or material, by whatever
means or process produced, can be patented. Un
der this Act, patentees are entitled to the exten
sion of their respective patents for tlieterm of .even
j ears from the day on which said patents sliall ex
pire, upon the same terms and restrictions as are
now provided fertile extensions of lastters-Patent.
Among the numerous subjects foi patents of this
class may be particnlarly mentioned—castings of
all metals, parts of machines, household fuiniture
and utensils; glassware,, hardware of all kinds,
cornices, and other interior-and exterior decorations
of buildings; also, detigus for woven and printed
fabrics, drees and upholstery trimmings, anti har
ness labels and trade marks for medicines, per
fumery, and all preparations, compositions, or
mercliandi‘C, put up in bottles, boxes, or other
packages, are suitable subjects; also, the forms of
such bottles, boxes, or packages themselves, and
envelopes, likewise all works of art, as statuary,
busts, compositions in alto or basso-relievo. The
Government fee mi a deoiga-patent for years is
$lO-|7 years, sls; 14 years, S3O. No models of
designs are required: bat duplicate drawings or
photographs must be furnished- The specification
to accompany the drawings or photographs re
quires to be prepared with great care. Messrs
Brown, Coombs A Co. give very particular at
tention to this branch of their business. Then
charge for preparing applications for design-patents
is generally about sls. Design patents are only
granted to American citizensor to aliens who have
resided one year iu the United States and made
oatli of tiieir intention citizens thereof.
The facilities of Messrs. Blows, Coombs & Co
for obtaining patents in the various European
countries are equal if not superior to those of any
other in the United States. With regard to tbeir
qualifications for such business, it need Only be
stated that Mr. Brown has had the prepara
lion of more European applications than any
other person in this conn try, Messrs. Brown,
Coombs & Co., besides having a branch.office tn
Washington, nave their owu agencies iu the
principal capitals of Europe. A circular relating
to foreign patent business will be furnished free
on application personally or by wail.

MEDICINAL.
Asiatic Cholera in China.
ALMOST EVERY CASE
CURED WITH
PAIN KILLER.
o—
Read the following letter from
Rev. R. Telford, Missionary in China, now
visiting liis home in Pennsylvania:
Washington, Pa., June25,18(56.
Meters. Perry Davie db Son', Providence, R. l.i
Dear Sira-During a residence of some ten
years as a Missionary in Siam and China, I found
your vegetable Pain Killer a most valuable
remedy for that fearful scourge, the ChoWra.
In administering tbe medicine, I found it most
effectual to give a teaspoonfni of Pain Killer in a
gill of hot water sweetened with sugar; then,
after about fifteen minutes, begin to give a table
Spoonful ot the same mixture every minute uutll
relief was obtained. Apply hot applications to
the extremities. Itatbe the stomach with Pain
Killer, clear and rub the limbs briskly. Os those
who had the cholera, and took the medicine faith
fully iu Hie way stated above, eight out of ten
recovered. Yours, truly,
R TELFORD.
If an attack with Diarrhoea, Dysentery, or
Cramp Colic, don’t delay the use of tlic Fain
Killer. Sold by all medicine deniers. Price, 25
cents, 50 cents, aud $1 per bottle.
Manhattan, Kansas, April 17,1866.
. Gentlemen-- * ” • I want to say a little
more about the Pain Killer, I consider it a very
valuuMc medicine, and always keen it on buna.
I have travelled a good deal since I have been iu
Kansas, and never without taking it with me.
In my practice I used it freely for the Asiatic
Cholera, in 1849, aud with better success than any
other •edicine; I also need it here for cholera in
1355, with the same good result.
Truly, yours, A. HUNTING, M. D.
Swato, Chin|.
Cholera I***l regret to say that the
cholera has prevailed here of late to a fearfol
extent. For the last three weelre, from teg to
fifty or sixty fatal eases each day has been re
ported. 1 should add that the Pain Killer, sent
recently irom the Mission House, has been used
with considerable success during this epidemic.
If taken in season is generally effectual in check
ing the disease.
Rev. CHARLES HARDINIG,
Bhoiapore, India.
[From the Portland Monthly.]
Summer Complaint and Dysentery.
Bowel complaints seem just now to be tbe
prevailing element, and any medicine that is
everywhere acceptable, and that is reliable, is a
very desirable acquisition. From what we liave
seen, beard, and experienced, we believe Davis’
Pain Killer is this desideratum. For the beat
method of using it, we quote from tbe directions:
“For common bowel complaints, give one iea
sjioonful in a gill n ®w milk nnd molasses, in
equal parts, stirred well together; lessen tlrn dose
for children, according to tlie age. If the pa.ui be
severe, bathe the bowels and back with the medi
cine. This mode of treatment is good in cases of
the cholera morbus, sudden stoppages, etc. Re
peat the dose every hour.
“Tbe quickest way I ever saw the dysentery
cured was I>y taking one spoonful of the Pain
Killer in one gill of milk ami molasses stirred
well together aud drank hot, at the same time
bathing the bowels freely with medicine. Let
tile dose be repeater! every hour until the patient
is relieved.”
If every person who has reason to fear this
disease would provide themselves with a bcttle
of this medicine, and use as oocarion required, we
believe a great amount of suffering and sickness
would be saved. ,je!2—2m
