Telegraph & Messenger. FRIDAY MORNING. JULY 11, 1871. Tlie Great Fair or 1871. Tbs Premium List of the Macon State Agri cultural Fair to be held on the 23d of October next and closing on the 27th, is now out. The range and number of premiums are very great. We judge from a hasty review of the pamphlet, that besides medals and other awards, the So ciety offers not far from $10,000 in money pre miums, and in addition to this large amount, the money premiums offered by private individ uals and associations aggregate a large sum. Mayor Ilaff alone offers nearly $3,000 in prizes for the fastest boats, horses, mules and foot racers. And there is a prize of £5,000 sterling (say $95,000) offered by the Governor General of India, through the British Consul at Savan nah, for a maohine which shall clean Ramie fibre at a cost of not more than £15 sterling per ton. There are also numerous other prizes of fered from privato sources, and altogether, it is the most munificent proposition that has ever been made to the public in these parts. The lists of competition comprehend almost everything that can well be thonght of, and the magnitude of the prizes alone will stimulate and secure a very fall exhibition in evory de partment of agriculture, mechanics, manufac tures and domestio industry. Wo shall antici pate, with entire confidence, the largest and most gratifying display of Georgia products, at least, which was ever put before the public. All the other material arrangements for the ex hibition are now being prosecuted with the greatest energy and with great liberality of out lay. The new exhibition grounds are very con venient to town, and we are sure will delight everybody. The Fair occurs at a season of the year when we may reasonably look for mild and dry weathor, and nothing will be lacking on the part of Macon to signalizo this display as the best over known in Georgia. Tho New Vorlt Trouble. The morning reports of the riot in Gotham are singularly nnsatisfaotory. They give ns not the smallest idea where and on what ac count so many people could have been killed and wounded as reported on Thursday. In deed, they indioate no adequate occasion for a fusillade upon the people, which is a terrible alternative, inasmuch as it slaughters idle spec tators as well as active rioters. And that there was nothing in the situation to justify the re ported slaughter, is to be inferred from the statement that the mischievous firing was done by tho Ninth Regiment without orders. It is, perhaps, almost inevitable to a use of undis ciplined volunteer troops in such fracases, that discretion is lost in excitement. But we must wait for the facts. At present we have none. A PaxtaxwoBTHT Example.—Rev. Wm. Mc Kay, of the Congregational or dissonting Church of England, came to this country since the war, as the confidential agent and manager of an immensely wealthy English Company, who mode large purchases of lands in Dougherty oounty, and embarked extensively in the culti vation of cotton. Mr. McKay, finding no branch of his own de nomination in this region, and anxious to labor in his Master’s vineyard, connected himself with the Presbyterians, and was ordained a minister by the Presbytery of Macon. Afterwards, his abounding zeal and liberality in preaching the gospel without money and without price, and his untiring energy, procured for him the position of Chairman of the Com mittee on Domestio Missions in bis Presbytery. Since then, at the cost of great personal effort in visiting and appoaliog to tho churches for aid, be has done much to supply the spiritual destitution of his people. All this has been at his own charges, too, while many generous benefaotions from his private purse have been added to the treasury of the Lord. It gives us unmixed pleasure to boar this pub- lio testimony to tho worth of a modest and ex emplary servant of God. One op the Peovooations.—To give some idea of the provocations and incitements to vio lence offered by the New York Orangemen to the Catholio Irishmen, wo quote the follow ing vene from one of their favorite songs, and to the tune of which they aro in the habit of marobing: Water, water, Holy water; Sprinkle the Catholics, every one; We'll cut them asunder. And make them lie under. The Protestant boys will carry the gun. (Cbome)— Croppies, lie down ; Croppies, lie down; We’il make all the Catholic Cioppiea lie down. Is it any wonder that men ivith warm blood in their veins resent such wanton insults, not only to their politics bnt their religious faith? The Orangemen have a right to parade, doubt less, bnt they have no right to do or say any thing calculated to provoke a breaob of the peace. That is our idea both of the law and of right. A Poos Speculation.—The papers say the oost of advertising the new loan which has been withdrawn from the market as a failure, was eight bnndred thousand dollars, exclusive of the expense of Treasurer Spinner’s and Assistant Secretary Richardson's trip to Earopo in the proposed interest of the loan, which, it is said, will oost fifty thonsand dollars more. This movement, whioh, at an expense of eight hun dred and fifty thonsand dollars, has eventuated in the sale of seven millions of new bonds, must be classed under the head of poor specu lations. The Radicals, who boast of their great financial ability and success, must shut their eyes to this operation. Fobt Vallet and Pebby Railroad.—Wo un derstand that all the preliminary arrangements have been made for the immediate construc tion of a railroad from Fort Valley to Perry, a distance of twelve miles. The Oentral Rail road has the matter in band and has promised to complete it in time to transport tne present growing crop. It will ruu through one of most fortile countries inhabited by the most solid men in Georgia. They ought to have had a railroad long ago, but having grown rich and careless they don’t care mu oh about such things. Rev. J. L White, recently a graduate of the Theological Seminary, at Columbia, S. O., hav ing accepted a call from the Presbyterian church of AmencnR, has entered upon the discharge of his duties Mr. Whit 6 ii a young man of prominence, and has already created a most favorable im pression. The Law and the Testimony.—We are under obligations to some friend for all the documents relating to the Atlanta Medical College em- broglio, and could a tale nnfold by the publica tion of the same, without championing anybody. Will either party give us a bid for the job ? Cost or European Tbips.—The Herald calcu lates that $120,000,000 aro annually spent by European tourists from the United States, and thinks the country could not stand the drain, except for its wonderful resources and constant ly increasing productions. No Holidays fob the Poob —The clerks in the Now York post-office are in dudgeon over an order slopping all vacations and holidays. These are Inxuries belonging to the President and heads of department. Immigration to the Sooth. The New York Bulletin reports that ‘ the tide of immigration” is settiog iu the direction of the Southern State*, and has already produced a notable effect in stimulating the industry and enterprise of the 8outhem people, and infusing a new life into many important branches of prodnetion. This (says the Bulletin) is seen very prominently in cotton culture during the present season,” etc., etc. The most of this will be news to the South. It is stuff. True, the active efforts of some of our people have succeeded in bringing a few foreign immigrants into the territory, bnt they are amere drop in the bncket—too few anti inconsiderable to make a riffle in the general current of Southern affairs. It would be well for many of our Northern contemporaries, who are fond of dilating npon Southern prospects and progress, to keep within hailing distance of facts. There has been, as yet, no important Northern or foreign immigra tion to the Southern States, except the horde of political adventurers who will leave (with a blessing) bo soon as their occupation and pros pects are gone and, when they leave, we sup pose that will abont close np the “tide of Northern immigration to the Sonth” from that quarter. Foreign immigration maybe drawn here by the active efforts of the people, bnt we incline to the opinion that even this will prove an np-hill work. The inhabitants of isothermal climates in Europe are not given to emigration, while those of colder latitudes seem to prefer the temperaturo and agricultural products they are accustomed to. So, taking into account our own experience since the abolition of slavery, and also that of all the tropical regions of the New World, island and continental, we are disposed to conclude that the population of most of onr Southern States will never secure any very rapid or im portant accessions by Northern or European im migration. One would naturally suppose that border States like Virginia and Kentucky, and such other sec tions of the Sonth as combine to a great extent the prodnets and advantages of temperate and tropical latitudes —such regions, for example, as Southwestern Virginia, Eistern and Middle Tonnessee and Northern Alabama, would attract heavy immigration from the bleak and fierce climates of the North and West; bnt we see they fail to do it. These genial aad fertile regions are steadily passed by and neglected for lati tudes of eight months' frost and winter temper- atnres far below zero. There is no danger, then, that the Southern people will ever see their individuality buried under the flood of a mighty Northern or foreign immigration. We shall never he “Yankeeized” as some so badly feared—nor Tentonized—nor Gallicised—nor Celticised. Therefore, it be hooves ns so much the more to pat forth tho arm of self-help and independent effort and seek improvement and progress by onr own ap plication and economy. The Southern people can rebnild their own waste places and repair their own shattered fortunes, in a very brief time, if they mU do it. What ought to be the fortunes of a coun try which can annually turn out maiket crops worth four hundred millions—as we can do, in cotton, rice and tobaoco? We have bnt to prac tice even a loose general economy in order to aconmnlate great wealth in a few years. If we would feed ourselves and snpply, as far as pos sible, the common necessaries of life, we should soon be armed with the tremondous power of surplus capital for onr own defence and for fu ture accumulations. Our people are a frugal people; but the error they commit is a vital one in suffering their simplest food necessities to come from more luxurious countries, where labor is high, and at an enormous cost of trans portation. Ho long as this is dono onr crops do not enrich ns. Stop it and a few successive harvests would give us abundance of money. T’lie Rise in tlio Price of Wool. The New York Snn, of Monday, says there has been a sudden rise in the price of wool and woolen goods, and that it doos not appear to have yet reached its maximum. Common Mexican wool, which used to sell at from 18 to 20 cents a ponnd, is selling at from 30 to 32 cents. Carpet wools, usually quoted at 30 cents gold, aro held at 37£ cents. Capo wools have gone np from 35 cents to 40 cents ; Australian wool from 42 conts to 52 cents; and what aro called extra fleeces, which are a stand ard in the wool market, like middlings in tho cotton market, aro quoted at from 01 to 64 cents, as against 47 to 50 cents six weeks since. Even shearings, which are the short wool whioh grows on sheep between the time of their shear ing in the spring and their slaughtering in the fall, and are used for making hats, sell at 40 cents a ponnd, instead of 25 cents, the old price. The various woolen mannfactnrers have re sponded of course to this rise in the raw mate rial. Carpet yarns have advanced from 37J cents per ponnd to GO cents per ponnd. Two and three-ply carpets are 12j per cent, dearer than they were, and Brussels, which recently fetched $1 95 per yard, are held at $2 15. All kinds of woolen cloth and clothing material have advanced on an average 10 per cent., with an upward tendency. The Snn says there are several causes for this advance, among them a short crop last year the extraordinary demand for woollen goods caused by the war in Europe; the yellow fever in Bnenos Ayres which stopped the shipment of the article from Brazil; and tho abundant sup ply of water which enables the woolen mills to run constantly, and thns practically doubles the demand for raw wool. Tito Blodgett-Seuiro Dirf-TDron ing Mutch— III ml gc It's Dander Up, and a Fight or a Foot Rare Imminent— He Dismisses the Subject from “Fnrther Xewspaper'Pnbli. cation.” In response to Seago's answer to Blodgett’s card published by us Wednesday morning—and which contained little else than a square denial of all the allegations made by B in that article— Blodgett lets himself loose in another commu nication which we find in the Atlanta Era of Wednesday. He says he has proven Seago to have been guilty of a readiness to swear false ly—of foul practices to secure the lease of the State Road—of nsing false weights to defraud his neighbor—of an attempt to swindle, and of “wilful and corrupt falsehood," and winds np with the following broadside. If the weather wasn’t so hot np at Atlanta—95 in the shade— we should certainly expect startling events with in a day or two. Says Blodgett: Convicted of these charges, yon now attempt to escape by throwing yourself on your dignity —the dignity of a common cheat and swindler, a person ready to swear falsely npon a mere pretext—the dignity of him who is pnblicly proven to be gnilty of falsehood. I denounce yon as a common cheat and a convicted liar, and leave yon to enjoy the dignity of your dis honorable and degraded position. Yon have won that dignity by your base conduct, and yon are entitled to enjoy it. I again reiterate my firm purpose to hold on to my interest in onr company, and to fight the present lessees as long-as there is any chance for onr success. And I am ready, at any time, to pay my part of the expense necessary to be incurred for that purpose. In conclusion, I foel that I am due the public an apology, which I hereby offer, for having permitted myself to be drawn into this contro versy, and having been compelled to 601I my hands with the base creatnre who is the subject of tho castigation I have felt it my dnty to ad minister, and I uow dismiss him and tho sub ject from any further newspaper publication on my part. _ The First Open Boll.—The new crop of cot ton is on its way and near at hand, sure enough. We saw, yesterday, an open boll, which was pulled, Wednesday, on the plantation of Mr. Sid ney Root, in Mitchell county, abont seventeen miles from Albany. Twenty-four hours more on the stalk, and it would have been folly ripe for picking. THE GEORGIA FREWS. The Biinbridge Argus says complaints about the crops are “becoming encouragingly leS6” in that oounty. We should judge a few Good Templars could find steady employment in Valdosta just now. Men have the “ jim jams” on the streets and insult and abuse the police and citizens gen erally. P. S.—We don’t think the Eiberton G. T.s would do, though. The Bainbridge Argus Baja: The Fourth or July in Deoatub —If the 4th inst. was observed by a citizen of Decatur county, white or black, we have not heard of it. Not a picnic, nor barbecue, nor school celebra tion, nor publio address, nor fire-cracker, nor popgun, distinguished this national jubilee from any other day of the year! The havoo tHe Radical party have made npon the liberties and constitutional rights of the Southern people has well nigh crushed out all regard for the once universally celebrated day which declared the American Colonies free and independent States. Jnbilating over that stupendous blander, the first Revolution, will hardly ever be in order again in this part of the vineyard. Mr. Jas. Holtzendorf, an old citizen of Glynn county, was fonnd dead on the road side last Friday—supposed from over exertion and heat Columbus real estate is lookiDg up. The En quirer says lots in the lower part of the city have donbled in value within a year. We quote as follows from the Columbus En quirer, of Wednesday: Opening of Bids.—The openiug and reading of bids for contracts on the North and South Road occurred yesterday. Owing to the con- tinned illness of CoL MeDongald, no contraots has been let np to a late hoar. There were quite a number of bids—some of them from very responsible parties to take entire contract to Rome; others for the 20 mile3 leading out from this city, and still others for short dis tances. We suppose we shall soon know who will be awarded the work. From what we conld learn from outsiders, the narrow gauge, though generally favored, had not been positively de termined npon. Before it is, we should like to know whether the State aid can be reached on that kind of a line. A Live Chuboh —The Baptists of Enfanla, after completing one of the handsomest churches in Alabama, last week raised $ 1100 to fresco it. Thos. Kennedy, a coal passer on the steamer Wyoming, that arrived at Savannah, Tuesday, from Philadelphia, died at sea the day before, from being overheated. Tho three engineers of tho steamer Rapidan, plying between Savannah and Boston, weigh 2C0, 350, and 240 pounds respectively. They serve as ballast, and in case of disaster would make capital life preservers. This is the Bos ton notion of utility. Mr. W. M. Watson, a patriot from Vermont, who came Sonth after the war to help the peo ple of Savannah develop their resources, is very much wanted by his partner, Mr. Grom well, just now. Watson and $1,700 oLthe firm money disappeared Sunday, and Mr. C. says he didn’t leave even so much as a photograph or a loik of hair, as a memento. Jas. Halligan, a gentleman who has, for sev eral months, been loving Savannah benzine, “not wisely bnt too well,” and who was getting np quite a reputation as a snake hnnter, jumped from a window of the Savannah hospital, Tues day night, and broke bis left leg just below the hip, besides fearfnlly mutilating tho muscles and flesh just below the knee by falling on the spikes of the irate railing below. The Savannah News of Wednesday, says: The Burolab Winslow—His Release on a Writ of Habeas Corpus—Final Discharge— Departure, etc.—The noted bnrglar who is known by the name of Winslow in this city, and who has been in confinement at the poliue bar racks for the past six weeks or two months, was brought out on a habeas corpus writ last Thurs day, and upoo an examination of bis case he was finaly discharged. For some time past Winslow has been de sirous of being released in one way or another, and in order to obtain his liberty, he has made several acknowledgmanta. He stated to Lieutenant Wray, the Chief Detective, a number of facts in connection with his opera tions in this and other cities, but every state ment was made under a promise, and could never, tinder IhqJ/iw of the State, be used against him in a court of justice. The parties who have been the victims of Winslow’s bur glaries, were placed in a condition to recover their lost property, or institute proceedings against him, without a shadow of proof as to tho guilt of the man, exoept as we have stated bis own confession extorted from him under promise of reward It is not difficult to see which conrso would be adopted by every one of the losers, and the consequence is nearly every article stolen from the honse or person by him while operating in this oity has been re covered and returned to the owner. Not a sin gle article was obtained from Winslow in per son, nor was a letter written to any one by the officer working np the case. Writing material was furnished the bnrglar, and he did his own correspondence. In due course the artiole would be forthcoming aud Lieut Wray enabled .to deliver it to tho legitimate owner. Only a few days ago a tine gold watch and chain, the properly of Mr. Theodore Crane, Jr., wns re- tnrncd to him, having been sent from Chicago to the detective here. In this way everything of value was recovered, and no one appearing against the man to prose cute, he was discharged. But all this was ef fected upon a promise that when released he should leave the State, never to return to it. As soon as he was free again he was shipped for a voyage to Liverpool, and placed aboard a vessel with some one to keep a strict watch over him until the vessel left the port, which was several days ago. Herman Dreyer, of Augusta, was found dead in his bed at 353 King street, Charleston, last Monday morning. We clip the following from the Constitution alist, of Wednesday: Singular Freak or the Storm King.—The storm which passed over onr city on Monday afternoon played wild antics on a gentleman’s plantation in Beach Island, Sonth Carolina.— Two adjoining fields, each containing one hun dred acres, surrounded by a high, strong, and perfectly new rail fence, were planted one in com and the other in cotton, both of which were in splendid order and growing finely. A perfect hurricane, accompanied by a deluge of rain and hail, swept over these two fields, leaving the snrronnding country literally untouched. The corn was completely riddled by the hail, the fodder being rendered unfit for pulling, and the cotton battered and beat down in such a man ner that the owner is afraid that it is ruined past redemption. The fencing whioh was as tsubtantial as rail fences can be made, was pros trated to the ground, while a large hickory tree, which had stood in the field for many years, was tom np by the roots. Several other trees were blown down, and the area presents the appear ance of having been swept by a besom of de struction. Not a drop of rain fell in the neigh borhood. Dr. R. B. Anderson, of Roswell, had two of his ribs broken, a day or two since, by being thrown from a buggy. The Atlanta Sun, of yesterday, has the follow ing items: The Atlanta Street Railway.—Its Pro gress, Route and Early Completion.—This new enterprise is progressing most satisfac torily for the stockholders. In abont ten days more the track will be laid from the corner of Alabama and Whitehall to the railroad cross ing on Peters street. It is being construct ed in the most substantial manner, with rock and cinder ballast, which makes the bed per fectly solid. The iron used is heavy and strong. It is the old style, which has its objections, bnt not serious. A gentleman who came np the Selma, Rome and Dalton Railroad Tuesday night, arrived in this city yesterday, and informed ns last night of a most atrocions rape, committed by a ne gro man npon a woman near Cave Springs, in this State, a few days ago. He escaped for the time, and made his way to Cross Plains, in Alabama. Before he arrived there, he got into a fight and fatally stabbed another negro near Ladiga. He was pursued, and his retreat dis covered. One of the party entered the cabin whero he was sitting and remarked, “John, I have caught you,” at the same time drawing his pistoL As he did this the negro made a spring at the weapon, bat bis captor was too fast for him, and be missed it He then picked np a chair with the intention of killing his enemy, and as he raised it to strike, the man fired at him, the ball entering just below the eye, and ranging backwards, lodged, as the negro says it felt, in the back of his head. He was secured and earned to the depot, and as the np train came along, was put aboard, where onr inform ant saw him and learned the particulars. He begged his captors to kill him rather than take him back to the scenes of his first crime, pre ferring death he said, to meeting the vengeance of an infuriated neighborhood, as he said. We clip these item3 from the Hawkinsville Dispatch, of yesterday: Crops in Dooly.—We receive conflicting re ports of crop prospects in Dooiy county. Two of our citizens have just returned from visits ont thore. One states that the upper part of the county will produce an abundance of corn. The other one says that crops in the lower por tion of the county are damaged badly. Some fields of corn are utterly ruined, and cotton is scarcely over ten inches high. Great Destruction of Hogs.—We leam that a new disease has attacked the bogs of portions of Pulaski and Dooly counties, and that the mortality is very large. It is not believed to be the cholera, but is equally as fatal. Farmers are at a loss for a remedy, and unless the disease is checked it will entail a serious loss npon them. Imprisoned on a Charge of Infanticide.—A white man named David Wright, charged with infanticide, was brought to this place Saturday last and confined in jail on a warrant from Coroner Luke Sapp, of Dodge county. There is also a warrant against Wright’s wife, whose condition will not permit her removal from home. An inquest was held over the body of the ebild, which, it is said, was found wrapped iu a pantaloons leg, and bnried a little beneath the soil near a stump. The accused parties have been married about three months. SicxNEfS.—Chills and fever prevail to a limit ed extent in the surrounding country, and some few have been attacked in Hawkinsville. The doctors have plenty to do, and are anticipating a heavy business this summer and fall, in con sequence of suoh an-tfnprecedented fall of rain the past few months. A qnomlam Texas Field Hand on Carpet- Baggers— He thinks They are “Too Weak to Plough, and too Small to Breed From” and that “They will Wear «nt onr Ma jorities.” We have been very much entertained by a speech mode by one Matt Gaines, a negro State Senator, so-called, representing Washington connty, Texas, in the Legislature, and which wo find in the New York Sun, of Monday, copied from a late Houston paper. The extract np pended will give some idea of Matt’s line as to the 0. B.’s, and how he proposes to deal with them hereafter. Said he : What is called the Repnblican party, is not the Republican party at all. The black men of Texas aro the real Republican party. Yon put the black men on one side and the Democrats on tho other, and the scattering white men who call themselves Republicans in the middle, and they would not be strong enough to lift a flea into office. I refer to the statistics of my own county. Tho white vote is 1,553, and only 25 of them vote the Repnblican ticket. The colored vote is 2,745, and they are all Republicans. It is time to look at the great power we possess. It is a sin to have power and not use it. We could put a bull in office if we wanted to. John Hancock said that when negroes voted, jacks and mules onght to vote. We have the strength in this district to send a jackass to Congress. Yes, jack or jinny, if you like. carpet baggers. It is time for colored people to wake up. Little fellows like Clark came down here from Connecticut when everything was in a state of distraction. We were unorganized, and did not know what to do, and we took them np, bob tailed coals, tight pants, little gold-headed cane and all, and we have fed them long enough on our own chicken pie. They are unthrifty stock. 'I here is no come-out in them. I am better fitted for Congress than Clark, and there wonld be more propriety in my being there by the side of Greeley and Sumner. These grand Re publicans, like Ruby from Maine, come down here, and would make yon believe that they fonght the whole war through by themselves, and that they tore Vicksburg down with their own hands for your freedom, and they will sleep in your beds with you, no matter how lousy. No more polling wool over onr eyeB. There are somo old black men here who have danced to the musio of the dinner horn, and not mnch dinner at that, and who deserved chicken pie, and are better worthy of position than the imported little worms that have crawled into so many offices. Those little fellows are too weak to plongh, and too small to breed. Give yonr provender to belter stock. They will wear out our majorities, they never had a decent suit of clothes till they .came down here from Connecticut, or thereabouts, and got office. They used to hang around my desk at Austin, and nse my stationery, and call mo Senator Gains. 'When they got office it was Mr. Gains, and after a while it was Matt. I am tired of such fellows living at our expense. An Unpopular View or Crops. | Editors Telegraph and Messenger: I have been in some of the counties below Maoon for eight or ton days past, and for the life of me I cannot see just and sufficient gronnd for the universal despondency so outspoken by your selves and yonr correspondents. Take corn and cotton collectively and the crops, so far as I saw, were up to an average of the past five years. Cotton is not so good, com a great deal better than in 1870—both together are assuring that this, after ail that has been said, will be a good year. I cannot appreciate that class of people who loudly declaim that we are rapidly going down to ruin—that the devil’s claws are leaching ont and will soon draw us into his red hot oven 1 It is not true. The actual truth is, we are more rapidly progressing in wealth than we ever did before in our lives. “Oh,” says ten thousand, “ootton brought nothing last year—didn’t bring near as mnch as it cost, and everybody will have to run in debt for all they want until another crop comes to market.” That is not so, either, for any warehouseman in your city will tell you that he* has not one-third the applications for advances now that he had a year ago. This, then, is the situation, the crop is comparatively unincumbered with debt—it will be so brought to market—there will be no occasion to force sales of mnoh of it, and the New York and Liverpool gamblers will stand a poor chance this time to get up comers. My advice to planters is to make the most ex traordinary exertions to keep their crop in their own hands, and demand 25 cents per ponnd for it. I make the prediction, that before the close of next February it will be worth that in your market. I think upon the whole, that whilst the cot ton orop of 1871 will reach only 3,250,000 bales, we will produce nearly, if not quite enough com and grass to do us. Some sections will be short—others have more than enough, as is often the case. But better than aU, our crop of warehouse papers will be shorter than ever known. It has been a hard year for yonr 2J per cent Shy locks, but will, I think, be a good one for the bone and sinew. Judge Dryasdust. A CARD.

They merely in crease the irritation, which it is all-important to allay. There is no preparation in existence which so quickly and certainly relieves nausea as Tarrant's Seltzer Aperient, Its immediate effect is to soothe and refresh the uneasy organ. It arrests vomiting or the disposi tion to vomit, at once, and carries off without pain, through the intestines, the morbid emetic matter which is the provocativo of nausea. A dose of the Aperient will always effectually “settle the stom ach” after a night’s dissipation. SOLD BY ALL DRUGGISTS. ju!14 eod&w2w NE W BOOKS! TWO GUARDIANS, by Charlotte M. Tonga.
