A Baianm Optiook.—A Now York tettor to the News and Courier says, January goes out wiUi a tompoiaturo as mild almost as aDy day in April, and with Uio incoming of Feb ruary merchants iu tho leading lines of busi ness are eagerly scanning tbo oommorcial horitnn to diaoover some signs of the spring irsdo. It is a long while since so hopeful a feeling predominated among them, based upon the improvod condition of tbo country, Uio snccoss of apecio resumption and tho abnndancocf capital which must soon be soaking active employment, and as tho season advinoot, tboro lie no reason why tbo prevailing expectations of a satisfactory business all arounl should not bo realized. At all events, this is tho prevailing sentiment in mercantile cireloe for tbo momont, and it may beplaood on record in contrast with the general disposition to croak and Ito tako dismal viows of tbo future, with which, it will be remotnborod, February a year ago was ushered in.' SnrwaXT's Body.—A New York lottor says: The publio interest in tho thoft of tho Stew art remains is revived by tbo announcement that Judge Hilton baa received an anonymous communication, enclosing a picoo of paper corresponding exactly with tbo shapo of a portion of tho pall covering tho coffin, which the thieves htd torn off. This wonldgoto show pretty conclusively that tbo writer or writer* of the communication, whoever they are, must have had someUiing to do with tbo robbery. They InUmato that thoy are ready to open negotiations for the return of the remains whenever Jndgo llilton is ready The latter waa interrogated on tho subject this afternoon by at least half a dozen news paper reporters, but he declined to talk. The detectives at polios headquarters appear to attach much Importance to tbia new de velopment, and doubt not that at last they have a ‘clue.' —Speaker Andrews, of the.Wyoming As sembly, a Democrat, toatifles that ha went to the Teiritory eight years ago, prejudiced against ths idea of female suffrage, but that now he must admit that tbo more he his seen of tho workings of tho system the less hisobjertiona jbive been realized and the more it has oommendod itself to hie judg ment and good opinion. ‘I am thoroughly convinced,’he says, 'that It is the only tine, consistent and honest mothod of exercising the right of franchise under our representa tive form of .'government.' Laramie City, with a population of 2,600, cast about 1,200 votes at the last election, cue-third of which were depot.ted by women, many of whom lately came from tho East. As a rule the women are more independent voters than too men, and though they do not always exoirieo their light of suffrage they are enre to he found at the polla whenever any par ticularly important question comes up or when a scandalous nomination has been made. A Guano Strike. Yesterday, at a South Carolina State Grange meeting in Charleston, what w.-u intended as joint resolutions at the State Granges of Scuth Carolina and Georgia. were brought forward refusing to pay more than four hundred pounds of lint cotton to tho ton of tuperphoepiute. Thu is in answer to tho guano dealers, who havo combined in a demand for five hundred pounds. Of course, if tbo par ties hold to their respective positions there can bo no trade. This Is all right. Both parties should bo tho final judgo of what it is best for them to do. Tho lour hundred pound proposition wasthe offspring of a time when cotton ranged from ton to twelve cents, and was equivalent to a price of forty or fifty do! lars per too. Now that cotton is worth about eight cents, it Is equal to about thirty-two dollars per ton. The guano men beet know what they can afford to sell it for, and it is evi dently to their interest to continue tho traffic if they can eave themselves in it. To suspend the manufacture leaves their heavy outlay in machinery and materials unproductive, disorganizes their opera tive forces, and soriously endangers the loss of their entire investment. Of coarse, then, the manufacturers and dealers in fertilizers are going to omit no effort to continue their trado on a living basis if they can do so. Tho samo motives of self-interest wilt govern tho farmers. They will buy or refuse to buy—not to obligoor tospito tho gnano men—bnt lo benofit themselves. If Congress, in tho session of 1848. had passed an act reducing a ton’s woight from twenty to twelve hundred pounds, tho farmers would have been indignant had the guano dealers insisted on four hundred weight of cotton lint for twelvo hundred pounds of super-phosphate. Tho shrinkage in tho money valao of cotton lint works in tho same way on the other ■ido. It strikes ns there is little spaco for serious misunderstanding in the premises Doubtless tho gnano dealers wonld be glad to name a specific money price, even below rates hitherto prevailing, which they would receive in liquidation of guano claims, oithcr in cotton or money; and this, in fact, is tho business-like way of dealing. Tho othor is, in its essence, bet on cotton prices—dealing in futures— a proceeding in which the guano men claim to have bosat badly worsted. Tba planters are entitled to buy at tho lowest market price, and in order to be able to sell at that price, tho manufac turers must be content with small profits, which cannot boar tbo hazzard of spec ulation, It seems to ns It should bo oasy for tho parties to corns to an under- standing on a fair basis, and that tho standpoint of ndvantago is on tho sido of tho farmer. Tho farmer can do without I ho guano—but tho manufacturer cannot do without sales. An Irish .Potato Artlcio. Tbo season for patting In this delicious vagotablo and important orop is npon ns, and a few practical suggestions based upon long porsonal experience may not be ontjof ptsco. Every householder, oven in n crowded city, if bo Iioh bnt a solitary garden “square,” should stock it with this wholesome edible. Imprimis, spread broadcast, if you bnve it, well rotted manure or cotton eood and spade up or plow the soil afterwards thoroughly. Then, with stake and line, lay off the rows two and a half feet apart and dig trenches about ten inches in doptli to recoivo tho potato oultings. In tbo bottom of thcao trenches run one or two furrows with a subsoil plow, or if tho patch bo small spade deeply without turning up tho earth. This will bo oqnivalont to loosening tho soil to tho dopth of noar a foot under tho potato, and will onnblo tho plant to withstand tho droughts of summer much hotter. Now drop tho cuttings, thooyes upper most, at intervals of ton inches and scat ter stable manure. If rough and nnrolted tho hotter, thickly in tho trcncho9. fin ighing off with a plentiful application of snperph09phate, say at tbo rate of 250 pounds per acre. In covering tho trenches with soil raise a slight ridgo to turn the water, which should bo rakod al most lovel about tho timo tho tnbera ap pear abovo ground. Tho after cultivation should bo peri foctly flat so as to permit tho earth to im bibo and retain moisture wnieh is highly essential to a fall orop. Indeed, tho greatest enemy to be apprehended is an oarly drought in tho spring which kills tho vinos prematurely, beforo tbo tnbersaro perhaps more than half grown. When mulching is resorted to it 6hould never Le done until tho cold weather is undoubtedly over, as frost will form on straw or leaves used for that purpose, and nip tho potato plants just whore they emerge from tho covering, when they would otherwise have escaped. Oar experience is, if tho potatoes get killed down when six inches or more in height, it is in vain to expeot any thing liko a good yield from them af terwards. Tho mulching should always succeed a heavy rain when the ground is thoroughly wet. After tho plants are up should a cold change bo experienced simply cover them with earth. This con bo done withont the least injury and thoy will themselvos como forth again in the coarse of two or threo days. It a second crop is desired, simply when using tho potatoes, restore to the hill the smaller tubers, and thoy will come up and make a good stand in Angnst, and can afterwards be cultivated as usual. The above directions duly followed, will seldom fail to produce an abundant crop of potatoes. Ainorican Gattlo Akroad. Tne telegrams to-day disolose the re sult or certain preoantionary maasares adopted by the British Governmsnt against infection from diseased American osttle. A cargo being slaughtered on landing, a number of cissa of pleuro pneumonia were detected by post mortem examination, and it appaars probable that a eimilar course will be taken with alt shipments of live eattla from this country so long as apprehensions of the disease osntinne lively. Tne cases de tected among the cargo of the Ontario ware pronounced to be of a very malig nant and infections type. Tlio License Tax. Tbit the present amount assessed npon every one who does business in oar dly Is oncroas in ihe extreme, ad mits of co question. And tbe burden is felt the more, because resident capitalists who handle large sums of money and are infinitely better abla to help tbe city, con tribute nothing—in fact, cannot bo reached, btill, tbe position that there should be no license tax is utterly unten able. Those who live among ns, and, with tho aid of the city government, carry on a lucrative business, ought to be wil ling to contribute something for the priv ilege, as thoy are more immediately in terested than the mere resident. More over, every city and incorporated village ia the Bute impasos those licences, and their authority to do so has cover been doubted. In some inatanoes, notably for liqnor and show licenses, wo have known tbe tax imposed to bs so high as to be al most prohibitory. Tho authorities claim, with some show of reason, that under the operation of tbe Jewett Aet they are estop ped from raising sufficient means to liquidate tho maturing obligations of tbe corporation and meet current expell ees even at their minimum figure. Teat withont this increase of the license tax the wheels of the mnnicipal government moat stand still. If this bo tho case, two alternatives alono remain to the overbur- denod tax-payers. First, to follow tho example of Savannah and Columbus, and compromise their city debt, or, second, petition for tho repeal of the Jewett Bill, and raiso tho rate of taxation for a given term of years until tho outstanding and maturing liabilities are met and cancelled, with tho poeitivo proviso that at the ex piration of tho period named tho rato of taxation Bhall be reduced again to one percent. This amount is ample for all tho ordinary expenses of tho city and ehonld not bo incroasod. Of tho two alternatives we greatly pre fer tho latter, bocauso opposed even to tho ghost of repudiation. It wonld also to a great extent abate this excessive license tax, which just now is altogether unsatisfactory and unequal in its opera tion. Finally, a fair ad valorem tax is tho only just and equitable method of raising revenue. Let every man bo made to pay moderately for tho protection of his tangi ble property. Wo cannot exist withont tho machinery of government to regulate morals, punish crime and gaard tbo rights of tho citizen. The additional tax npon business pursuits and professions should be fixed at the lowest possible rnto, but is certainly just and proper. TUE GEORGIA 1'ltKSS. The Mutual Lite Again. Under a misunderstanding of tho nature of the rebate of thirty per cent, allowed to now policy-holders of tho Mulnal Life Insnranco Company, of Now York, wo stated in yosterday’s iasno that this thirty per cent, was tho commission heretofore allowed to agents, tho company having abolished all agenoies, policies were now issued direct, without their intervention, and hence tho ability of the company offer such inducements lo applicants for lifo insurance. In making this statement wo find that wo havo dono injustice to Messrs. Turpin & Ogden, who for several years represented this sterling company here and insured man; of onr prominent citizens, among thorn ono ol tho oditors of this paper. A few years ago, tho company withdrew its agency from this portion of tho South, so far as related tl}6 issue of now policies, but at tbo re quest of Messrs. Torpin So Ogdon, (and unlike several other companies whioh also withdrew, permitted them oontiuuo tho ooltootion of tboir renewal premiums, thoreby avoiding an inconvon. lonoo attendant npon paying thorn at the homcoflioe of the company, to whioh many policy holdors havo been subjected Recently the Mutual Lifo has zo-oponed its agency hero and wa are glad to;-boo Messrs. Torpin & Ogden; again represent ing thorn. We tako pleasure in oorreot- ing onr statement regarding the thirty per cent, rebate on first year's premiums of new policies, as wo learn that on all ordinary iifo polioles, the oompany de duct thirty per oent. fiom tho regular rates for tho first and second year’s .’pre- mimns, nn inducement never before, wo believe, offered by any prominent lifo insurance company. This is not in lion of agents’ commission bnt 1b a charge upon a fund legitimately available for tho pur. poso and without any injury or prejudico to Iho interests of old policy holders, as Messrs. T.,<fc O. havo explained to ub, and will, wo presume, giadly explain to all interested, upon application to them Tub Soumkkn Fabmkbs’ Monthly.— Tho first number of tho improved aeries of this pnblication, issued by Mr. Estill, of tbe Savannah News, reached Macon yesterday.

Editors Telegraph and Messenger. As you will not publish my letters, please allow me the use of a small space in yonr pa per in order that I may congratulate our brother farmers on whipping the guano fight.

Yesterday wo looked npon a picture—a scene from tho hand of one of tho oldest and most accomplished of-‘tho old mas ters.” Like tho works of Rapbxl and Angelo, his works all have a point of resemblance, or “mannerism," technical language. They are figure pieces — kings, philosophers, poets, peasants, panpors—every phaso of human life has occupied the genius of hu pencil. Palaces and hovels alike have formed the back-ground for his wonderful portrayals. “Tho dying mother.” leaving as a legacy to her loved ones her new bora Labe, ia one of hia most pathetic '‘pieces.” Tha same of this artist >s Disease. Scarcely a homo in ell this land that baa not one of his pictures hanging in some of its rooms, invisible to tbe stranger perhaps, bnt to its inmates as distinct as if painted bnt yesterday. He has a dreaded assistant to whom he often confides the “finishing” of bis pictures—Death. If yon would prevent Disease from placing one of hia fatal “shadow pictures” in yonr home, yon mast take tho requisite precautions to prevent his entrance. At the first signs of his approach—general debility, sleeplessness or habitual drowsiness, loss of appetite, impaired appetite, constipa tion, unusual pallor, cough, night sweats, headache, or nausea—measures for relief should be promptly taken. The system ehonld be cleansed and strengthened by Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery and Pleasant Purgative Pellets, which are acknowledged to ta tbe best altera- lirr. or Llood-rleauring, and cathartic remedies ever before the public. Besides, they regulate tha whole system and im part to it a healthful, vigorous tone. Chsw Jacuox's Bbr SWEET navy TO! BAGOU. onvudawly What is Said Abeoad op ocn Munici pal Troubles.—Commenting npon the temporary injunction granted by Judge Speer to thoeo who are fighting tbe li cense tax, tbe Chronicle and Constitution alist says: If wo understand the matter, all of the cities of the State have an interest in this litigation. Every one of them lev- ies heavy license taxes upon business, and if the courts decide that mnnicipal taxation must not follow State taxation a large revenue will havo to be given np. It ia stated that if the complainants suc ceed in getting a permanent injunction they will then ask that a receiver be ap pointed to take charge of tho income and property of Macon. The ground of this last movement is not given. Secubitt Sale.—On Tuesday Georgia railroad stock sold at from 74} to 75}, Commercial Bank stock at 87} and Au gusta Factory stock at 125. Augusta is preparing to celebrate tho birthday of tho Father of his country with becoming spirit, and wo trust that Macon too will not forget to honor his memory by a battalion parade.

He showed that the various church societies had worked energetically and well dnriDg the past year, and com mended them for their labors in the good canse. The Bishop Elliott Society, be sides contributing handsomely to tbe far- nitnro and decorations of the altar, had disbursed $363, distributed over five hun dred garments and paid more than ono thousand visits. The fiuanoes of the chnrch have been placed on a sound ba sis, tho debt baring been entirely paid off lost spring. Daring the year .there hBd been thirty-eight baptisms, twenty-seven confirmation.- 1 , twenty-one funerals and eight marriages in the chnroh. Abont $10,000 had been collected for chnrch purposes Bloodxd Sheep and Goats.—From the same: We saw, last Saturday, a pair of tipanish merino sheep and two Angora goats, purchased by Major Branch for bis model farm near the city. Thoy arovery fine animals. Tho dam of the merino ram sold for threo hundred dollars in the foil of 1878. A Dastaudly Chime.—Savannah Maes A murder of unusaal atrocity was com mitted on Saturday night at Pinkey Honso plantation, Bryan Neck, owned by the estate of Georgo P. Screven, which oreated great excitement in tho neighbor hood. Wo learn from a reliable sonree tho following particulars of the orime, and the arrest of tho negroes through tho energetic and eourngoous efforts of Cou- ht .bbj Zittreuer: A party of five negroes—Abram Neil, Raymond Haymond Hargraves, Watt Jackson, Ben Banyan and Barraok Hons ton—who had been at the store of Miller & Brady daring tho afternoon, woro on their way to tho plantation where they were working when Abram Noil fired threo shots over tho head of Barraok Honston, apparently with tho view of in timidating him, as thcro had boen a diffi- catty between them soma timo previons. Honston inquired of Neil what he mount by snob rcokles3 conduct, when tho latter replied in effect “I intend to kill you to night.'' Notwithstanding this throat, wonld seem that no farther demonstra tion was mado-by Neil at the time, nnd tho plantation was reached without far ther difficulty. About midnight the overseer of the plantation, Mr. Patterson, and tbo clerk in tho store, Mr. Bacon, were aroused by Ben Banyan, who asked for some matches stating that Barrack Houston was lying near the houso in a dying condition. An examination was at oneo made, when Houston was found lying on tho ground mangled and dead. An inquest was held on Sunday, when Banyan who it appears witnessed tho diffi calty, testified that Abram Neil shot Houston, and Watts and Jackson heal tho unfortunate man with tho barrel of his own gun. After this brutal assault tho lifeless body was carriod about fifty yards from tho sccno of tho attack, where tbo fiundd not satisfied with their bloody work, beat tho body again witii guns and sticks and then fled. A warrant wa3 issued for tho arrest of tlio murderers and placed in tho hads of Mr. Benjamin A. Zittreuer, constable who at no littlo risk, succeeded in cap turing them. Abram Noil drew a pistol and endeavored to shoot tho ofiicor, bnt was seized and quickly disarmed, and Jackson attempted to escape, bnt fortnn- ately failed in this effort, and tho mur derers are now in safe custody. Coin no South.—The News says : party of sixteen persons from Plainfield New Jersey, have purchased a large traot of land, about five thousand acres, in Ware county, this State, and have de termined to ECttlo there. Wo read that they brought with them a supply of stock, wagons, tools, seed, fruit trees and pro visions, and their purpoBo is to divido their land in small fatms, which they will cultivate. The reasons given by the leader of this party for their change of residenco are that tho times were exceedingly hard in NewJerBey; that business was at a stand ftill; that tho laboring classfound it hard to get along, especially if their property was at all encumbered with mortgages, and many were so encumbered. Besides all this the rigorous climate there makes it more difficult for a man to make a liv- Ho believes, therefore, that if ho can makea favorable report to tho people of Plainfield abont tho condition of affsirs in Georgia, one hnndred families will move out next spring, It gives ti3 pleasure to chronicle the above. There is room enough in Georgia for half of New Jersey, and as farmers and horticulturists tho pooplo of the “Jarsiea” can't bo excelled. Accident.—Mr. Eebarer, of Savannah, was run over in his buggy by a carnage in Lovers’ Lane, near Savannah, and severely if not mortally hurt. Ono of tho occupants cf the carriage, tho News says, who was nndor tho influence of liqnor, clambered up to the driver’s seat, took tho reins from him, and whipped tho horses into a ran. Tho matter will prob ably bo investigated. Bankrupt Boll.—Tho following final discharges in bankruptcy havo been filed in tho office of the clerk of tho United States District Court, vizBcuhen H.

Flabbergasted.”—Montezuma live ly: The grand jury of Bartow county flabbergasted last week. Having little elso to do, they brought in a string of presentments" as long os yonr arm on the Hill-Murphy-Colqniit muddle, wilh which they had about as much right to tamper, as grand-jurymen, as General Grant has to rido all over the world at the expenss of the United States. Thanks to the new constitution, ench mokes of jurymen havo about had their day. The same payer says: Almost any kind oE currency is good in Macon county.

A Climax at the Bottom.—Recorder: A good ono ia reported to us as happen ing in a Hancock street store last Satur day. A man had just bought one pound of butter for twenty-five cents, and, it is supposed, by way or apology for trading in so small a quantity, remarked to the merchant, “we make enough butter to do us about fire days, bnt hare to buy a pound to carry us through the week." A neighbor of thia butter-buying man, tbo’ intent on on interesting plough in vention, overheard tho above conversa tion, and put in his say as follower “Now, Tom, you don't make any batter—yon ain’t got a churn nor a jar, nor nothing else to make it in; and you ain’t got no cow, nor any money to buy milk—in short you lie.’’ GeneralGobdon will deliver tho com mencement address before the Aberdeen Female College, Mississippi, and Bev.Dr. Palmer tbe commencement sermon, in Jnno next Amp* station not Needed.—A special dispatch from Columbia to the Angnsta Evening News, dated February 4tb, says; Governor Hampton enjoyed a hot punch with a few friends night before list, feel ing all right.

Ohnrch of this city gave $271, which was tho largest amount given. Of this amount $90 were collected from tho whito citizens by tho pastor, Bav. W. D. Johnson. Ho is very popu lar with all, a3 is demonstrated by the white’s subscribing the above amount. The Business op Columbus.—The Sun- Enquirer pablishes a tabulated state ment of tho sales of that city for tho post three years which may be summed up as follows: Total sales for 1878, $5,333,970, an in- creajo over 1877 of $417,414, over 1876 of $865,984. This is indeed a bright showing for onr sister city. The Macon Telegraph.—Atlanta Post: It is ono of the most reliablo and safe papers published in America.

Tho plant is not injured by or dinary cold weather, bearing without danger temperature as low as 2 deg. Fah renheit. Such cold is an advsnlago to tbe plant as it chocks the rapidity of de velopment. It noods no Bpociul care, bnt Mr. Gill finds that usually tho plant is not trimmed oiosoly enough. Tbo leaves used for making tea are only one, two and sometimes three leaves on tho extremo end of each branch or limb, and also renders tho leaves easier to pick. welt as plants in tho open air. difficulties. This is a mistake. of growth nnd differently cared. It not essential that tea grown in this conn, try should have tho same appearance Chinese tea.

Onr understanding is that Gillott A Co. will purchase, at tho rate of $1 a pound, such South Carolina leaves os may be properly picked and forwarded to them for manufacture. Wo shall await with much interest tho formal report to be made by Mr. Gill npon his retnrn, and it is to bo hoped that, in the meantime, they who are now growing tea plants will contmne their cultivation. There is far les3 difficulty in making tea than in growing and pre paring jnte, and we see no reason why Carolina tea should not scon be as well and favorably known as our famous long cotton. warm bed they were active and danger- I ous, bat ooming out into the severe cold they were soon comparatively harmless and were killed by the men withont much trouble, or covered up in the dump by earth and stones. Bat this is a very email poition of tho story. Every day and every blast, since this first batch ap peared, has brought another huge bundle of reptiles. Every hour a moving, wri thing lump conies rolling down tbe hill, only to aeparato ai the foot, and what escape tbe laborers* picks and shovels, crawl off to get covered in the dump Thousands of them have been un earthed and killed, ’ and every blast brings thoasands more, rivaling in num ber tho famous snake den of Concordia. Not a single case of scako bite has yet occurred, notwithstanding it is many times almost impossible to avoid stepping on them. Mr. Beeson says thero are no unusual monsters among them, tho great majority being os largo ronnd as a man’s wrist and about threo or three nnd a halt feet long. Ho also >aya that farmers for five miles around tell him that this is tho regular winter den of theso veno mous creatnres, and that during tho fall the snakes in that country, which are discovered, are headed in the direction of tho bluffs, and tho only way thoy can be turned from their courso is to kill them. It is said to be one of tho most remarkaDle sights ever looked npon, and hundreds from tho anrroanding oonntry visit tho qnarries to see the snakes. Tho name and fomo of Dr. Ball’s Cough Syrnp are known throughout tho land and everywhere it is relied npon as the specific for coughs and colds. Repealing City Charters, Columbus Times.1 The effort to avoid financial embarrass ments of incorporated oities is now be- ooming so common aB to make it a sub ject of seriouB general oonceru. The charter of Memphis has already been re pealed ; one branoh of tho Lsgislature of Alabama has passed a bill ti repeal the oharter of Mobile ; the city of Galves ton is asking the same kind of relief at tbe hands of the Legislature of Texas; sad one of the oldest counties of Arkan sas has applied to the Legislature of that State to abolish it ns a oonnty aDd annex its territory to adjoining counties. Wo believo that Vioksbmg and one or two other of the Mississippi eities contem plate making similar applications, bnt tho widespread belief that relief from thu fi nancial troubles of ccrporations can be obtained in this way is amply shown by the above oases. Wo do not believe that this schemo will work satisfactorily. It may delay payment and lesson taxation for a time, but it does not wipe out tho debt, and tho general tenor of high legal deaisions of late years is against the sanction of any devices by incorporated municipali ties to repudiate or avoid tbe payment of thoir debts. Possibly they might have obtained the relief sought, whilo tbe bank rupt law was in force, by uvailing Ilium selves of its provisions. But in that case they would, liko bankrupts, have had to surrender thoir effects, and that they would much disliko to do. They wish to break or dissolve fnll-banded. Tho fact, howover, that if their claims had been against individuals instead of cities, they would have been compelled to submit to tho large scaling of bank ruptcy settlements, ought- to be consid ered by the bondholders of tho cities when fair offers of compromise are made to thorn. We see that a proceeding for tho ap pointment of a reoeivor for the oitv of Memphis hai boon filed in tho United States Ciroait Conrt. In this way Iho pooplu of tho oity may bo made to regrot tho step which thoy took in asking a re peal of its charter. If tho conrt asbumon jurisdiction, nnd nmlertakcs to protcot llio boldboldors, may it not order a sale of oity property, whioh would bo disposed of nt a great saenfico, satisfying but a email portiou of tho bonded debt and leaving the balance still binding ? qUEEK.

It Is s Rattling Big Nnake Story from Curious Kansas, Prom the Atchison (Ban) Patriot) Mr. J. H.

P AIN in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pres sure ; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to tbe top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stom ach is affected with loss of appetite and sickness; the bowels in general are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sen sation in the back part. There is gen erally a considerable loss of memory, accompanied with a painful sensation of having left undone something which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant The patient complains of weariness and debility ; he is easily startled, his feet arc cold or burning, and lie com plains of a prickly sensation of the skin; liis spirits are low; anil although he is satisfied that exercise would lie beneficial to him, yet lie can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it, In fact, he distrusts every remedy Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them existed, yet exam ination of the body, after death, has shown the liver to have been exten sively deranged. AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, in cases of Ague and Fever, when taken with Quinine, arc productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a fair trial. For all bilious derangements, and as a simple purgative, they are un- equaled. BEWAltE OF IMITATIONS. The genuine are never sugar coated. Every box has a red wax seal on the lid, with the impression Dr. McLane’s Liver Pills. The genuine McLanf.’s Liver Pills hear the signatures of C. McLane and Fleming Bros, on the wrappers. Insist upon having the genuine Dr- C. McLane’s Liver Pills, prepared by Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the market being full of imitations of the name McLane, spelled differently but same pronunciation. IiTlc y Hinton Tobacco.
