His wife, ou hearing the words so fatal to her hopes, sat for a moment trembling, and then lushed for the open window near by for the purpose of throwing herself to the ground below. 8he was wild with grief.

Colored Sunday School Plc-nic• On last Saturday the colored Bap tist Sunday school celebration took place at the fish pond below the color ed Baptist church. A neat stand and other necessary arrangement were pre pared upon the bill-side, and in the forenoon very appropriate addresses were made by Messrs. Oarson, Russ, Griffith and Jenking. About one o’clock a very nice dinner was spreadi and every one passed the time very leasant. In the afternoon Rev. J. fc. Searcy made a short address. The chil dren acted with credit to themselves by their merry songs and little speech es. Altogether the entire people pasa- the day very pleasantly. The com mittee, composed of Weeden Williams, Richard McCrary, Nathan Corbin, Ro- lin Johnson and Solomon Baldwin, Superintendent, acted their parts very well indeed, and the best of order was ob erved. There are in attendance at this school about one hundred and twenty-eight members.

Judge Hillyer sentenced Cox to be confined in the penitentiary, or such other place as the Governor may direct, at hard labor fur and during his natural life. Gen. Qar- trell gave notice that the defense would make motion for a new trial and praying a writ of supercedas The execution of sentence was therefore stayed twenty days. Thin penalty is virtually the ex treme of the law in this 8tute, as a law passed with Alston’s aid at the last session of the legisla ture, giving juries the right to recommend the life imprisonment in all cases of murder as they see fit, in effect abolishes the death penalty, Cox is the first man con • victed of murder, who secures the benefit of that law. The verdict was received with geueral approval. Many Thanks, We return thanks to Mr. J. H.

Torpor of inactivity of the kidneys is seriously dangerous to those organs, sines it is tho precedent of diseases which destroy their substance and en danger life. This sluggishness may be come by stimulating them, not ex cessively, but moderately, an effect produced by Hostetler’s Stomach Bit ters, a geueral iuvigorant, and altera tive, possessing diuretic properties of no common order. The impetus which this admirable medicine gives to their evacuative function counteracts any tendency to congestion which may ex ist in their tissues. Both they and their associate organ, the bladder, art invigorated as well as gently stimulat ed by the Bitters, which exerts a kin* dred influence upon the stomach, liver and bowels, and by strengthening the system, enables it to withstand materi al epidemics, to which when exposed it might otherwise succumb.
