Daniel S. House died at the Asylum,
last Wednesday, from a wound received
ten days before, at the hand of a lunatic.
The Good Templars of which order he
was an officer, buried him on Thursday. t
It is gratifying to know that that noble
brotherhood, and also the Ladies Memo
rial Association, have taken steps to re
lieve the wants of Bro. House’s family.
We think the State should do something^
to relieve the orphans of its servant, who •
lost his life, not only in its service, but(
because of its service. Under similar cir
cumstances the law would compel any
other corporative to respond to the loss.
Their poverty is abject.
Lectures for the Summer.
We learn that arrangements are pro
gressing to secure the delivery of free
lectures, every fortnight, through the
Summer, at the State House. This is
as it should be. Nigger minstrels, dan
cing mountebanks and travelling hum
bugs can well be substituted by the
more refined and intellectual entertain
ment of the lecture room. A world of
enjoyment lies i’o a little combined ef
fort to elevate the public taste and cul
tivate the fine social feelings, rather than
those coarser, grosser, biutal appetites,
ihat revel in debauchery and mean
whisky. The ladies, of course, will lend
encouragement to the measure.

dBl H aBY -
Died, at the State Lunatic Asylum, near
Milledgeville, on the I7tli inst., Mr. Daniel S.
House, aged about 35 years.
The circumstances attending his det.th.are
peculiarly sad. and manifest the singular dis
pensations of Providence. The deceased was
a gallant soldier in the late war, and after four
years of service, during which ha escaped uu
hurt, it was Ilia fate to fall by the hand of an
unconfined maniac at the Asylum, where he
was an employee.
Mr. House was a noble man and a patiiet.
When his country was in danger, he was
among the first to rush to its defense and to
offer all that he had -his labor and if neeessa
ry h’s hf; . He was a good citizen, an affei-
tiouate husband and father, and a true friend.
His was a strongly marked character—mild in
peace, and in war a hero. And it is not strange
that the death of such a man should be so gen
erally mourned. He belonged to that distin
guished Regiment known as the First Geoigta
Regulars, and his Captain, the late Lewis H.
Kenan, often spoke of him as one of the best
and bravest soldiers he had seen in battle
A wife and four little children, have been de
prived of their only support, and the State
would be discharging but a just obligation, to
make some provision for their maintenance,
as the deceased lost his life in its service. A
large concourse of his fellow citizens, with the
order of Good Templars, {cf which he was a
member) attended his funeral, and bestowed
upon his remains the last tribute of respect.
Tbe fair mothers and maidens of our land
will soon cover the graves of the Confederate
dead, with flowers, but they will decorate no
tomb more deserving of respect than that of
Daniel S. House, the patriot and gallant sol
dier of the South. A Fiuend.
NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
The Invalid—A Fen Picture—See
her palid countenance, but a short time
ago the picture of ruddy health, the en
vy of the school and the pride of the
household. She was always welcomed
by her schoolmates, for her lithe form
and pleasing disposition carried cheer
fulness into their ranks. Diligent,
punctual and exemplary, obedient and
graceful at home, she won the hearts of
all. But alafe, we are sorrowed. Those
rosy cheeks and ruddy lips are blanched
by Consumption. The voice once so en
chanting in laugh and song is feeble,
husky and supplanted by a hollow cough.
Lot us approach her touch gently and
take her Land. Do not shudder because
of the feeble and passionless grasp. The
hand once so hearty and plump is
emaciated, and shows bony outlines,
while the cords and tortuous veins are
plaiuly mapped upon the surface. The
pulse that bounded with repletion, car
rying vigor to the whole system and
imparting life, beanty, vivacity, health
and strength, is delicate to the touch.—
Tbe feeble heart cannot propel tbe thin,
scanty blood with foice. Must we lose
her while yet in her teens ? Companions
and friends gather around with words
of cheer and consolation, and depart with
moistened eyes and silent steps. Must
we lose her? No! there is a relief! —
We can stay this destroyer of our hap
piness, and not suffer the loss of so bright
a gem. Something more is required now
than dietary and hygienic observance,
for nature calls for aid, and she shall
have it. Take this pleasant medicine.
It is invigorating. How it allays the
irritable cough, improves the appetite
and digestion, and sends a healthy tin
gle through the Irame. The blood is en
riched, nervouB force increased, and tbe
heart bounds with a new impulse. See
her face brighten by degrees; the color
ia returning, her voice is getting clearer,
and pleasant words are spoken. The
strength falters yet, but is gaining.—
Let us taka her out in the warm sun-
shiue. In a short time she will he able
to go without our aid, a cheerful girl.—
This delightful medicine must be God-
blessed. It is restoring health to our
loved one. She is emerging from her
sickness sweeter and nobler tbnu before,
and Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis
covery must have tbe credit. It has
raised her. Sold by all first-class drug
gists everywhere.
The Latest Swindle■—Certain sancti
monious charlatans would fain persuade
the world that diffusive stimulants have
no medicinal value, and that detestable
slops, composed of griping acids and
drastic purgatives, are better tonics than
the finest vegetable ingredients combined
with tbe purest and mellowest products
of the still. But this sort of thing won’t
go down. Tbe stomach of our common
sense rejects it, as the physical stomach
of every man with undepraved palate
rejects, with loathing and abhorrence,
the nauseous abominations, “free from
alcohol,” which Humbugs are trying to
thrast down the throats of Temperance
Invalids under the pretense that the
filth will do them good? It is not likely
that while Plantation Bitters, the
Standard Tonic of America, is anywhere
accessible, such sickening frauds can
make much headway, but it is as well to
put the public ou their guard against
them. pr It.
The Hunt Prolific Cotton Seed.
This is the ‘‘Old Hunt Variety,” but
highly improved by four years careful
selection of seed—with the object of in*
creasing both the quantity of seed cotton
and of lint. This result has now been
certainly reached—and in offering this
variety of seed to the public, I am sure
they will find them to yield fully 10 per
cent, more than ordinary seed. It is a
long limbed prolific cotton, which sticks
well in the bolls, yet picks easily, yield
ing a fine short staplo cf lint.
Price—$4 00 per Bushel.—Money
should be sent in Registered letters, or
