No. 11 Main Street, Norfolk, VSept. 15,1369.
I)R. LAWRENCE—Dear Sir: Your Koskoo has
worked wnmlers in my Utility. My daughter has
been a sufferer /rom Scrofula since childhood. She
lost thirty one pieces of hone from her ankle, several
from her arm, besides having ulcers in several parts
of the bodt . Whilst in this condition she commenced
takingyour K' skore —it acted like a charm on her;
under it* une the ulcere qradually heft e.t, and her
general health greatly improved. It certainly sav
ed her much suffering, and p-rhaps her life. I regard
Koskoo a specific for all scroiulos affections. Your
Koskoo also cured my wife cf dyspepsia, from which
she suffered greatly. She is now in better health
than she has been in five years.
With the highest regards
I am gratefully yours. <fcc.,

I had tried almost everything without benefit. I be
lieve, In all sincerity, that youi Koskoo is an INFAL
LIBLE remedy for the and sense from which he h ts suf

J. I. LAWRENCE, M. D.—Dear sir ; I cheerfully
endorse your Koskoo as being a most valuable pre

each ingredient highly extoled by onr ben and most
progressive cPnioal investigators. I h.ve t e ted its

recommending it. In my opinion, it, is the best com
pound of its class ever put before the public— seced

Ac., ever inven\tfd. It Is a decided Nerve Tonic, and
Invigorator of the animal forces, aiding digestion

blood, which should be the basis of treatment in all
chronic diseases. Hoping you will reap the reward
you deserve from the public as a benefactor,

SMITH'S TUNIC SYRUP!
For. THE CURE OF
AGUE ANO FEVER
on
CHILLS AND FEVER.
The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly
claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offer
ed to the public lor the safe, certain speedy and per
manent cure of Ague and Fever .or Chilis-and Fever
whether of short or lor,ir standing. He refeisto the
entire Western and Southwestern country to bear him
testimony to the truth of the assertion, that in no case
whatever will it fail to cure, If the directions are strict
ly followed and ca ried out. In a great many cases a
single dose has neen sufficient for s. cure, and whole
families have teen cured by a single bottle, with a p-r- i
feet restoration of the general health. It is, however j
prudent, and in every case more certain to cure, if its •
nso is continued in smaller doses for a week or two af- 1
ter the disease has been checked, more especially in !
difficult and long standing cases. Usually, this medi j
cine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in !
good order; should the patient, however, require a
cathartic medicine, after hiving t*ken three or four j
doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BULL’*} VEGETA
BLE J>AM’LY PIi.LS will be sufficient.

I o my United States and World wide Read

T HAVE received many testimonials from proses
-1 luonal and medical men, as my almanacs and vari
ous publications have shown, all of which are genuine.
The tollowlrg from a highly educated and popular
phpiician in Georgia, is certainly one of the most sen
sible communication! I have ever received. Dr. Clem

DR. JOHN BULL—Dear Sir:—l have recently giv
en your “Worm Destroyer” several trials, and find it
wonderfully efficacious. It has not failed in a single
ins at,ce, to have the wished-for effect. lam doing a
pretty large country practice, and have daily use for
soiiie^ article of the kind. lam free to confess that I
know of no remedy recommended by theablest authors i
that is so certain and speedy in its effects. On thecon
trary they are uncertain in the extreme. My object. [
in writing you is to find out upon what terms I can
get the medicine directly from you. If I can get it 1
upon easy teims, I snail use a great deal of it. lan
aware that the use ol such articles is contrary to the
teachiugs and practice of a great majority of the reg- I
ular bite of M. D.’s, but I see no just cause nr good i
sense in discarding a remedy which we know to be et- '■
ficient, simply oecause we may be ignorant of its com- |
bination. For my part, I shall make it a rule to use all i
and any means to alleviate suffering hum nity which I
I may be able to ommand—not hesitating because
someone more ingenious than myself may have learn
<l its effects first, and secured the sole right tc secure
hat knowledge. However, lamby no m< ans an ad- !
vocateor supporter of the thousands of worthless nos
trums that flood the country, that purport to cure all |
manner of disease to which hum in flesh is heir.
Please reply soon, and inform me of your best terms.

almost miraculous lam very anxious for m.v son to

A Panther Hunt in Ultslssippl.
Editors Turf, Fidd and Farm:
I promised yon in my last that in
my nest I would gave you h descrip
| tion of my panther hunt—old-Etfwards
the hunter and trapper was my coru
i panion. e were not hunting, we
were running the lines of some wil l
lands l thought of purchasing on a
, speculation. While thus engaged w;
accidentally met the Hou. Mr 'i- ,
with some negroes, cutting a road
through the wilderness in order to
j bring his immense possessions of wild
lands into notice. I nad examined the
I lands I wished to see. and , thought I
would spend the night with Mr. TANARUS., in
| bis camp, when I saw ah object slip
; ping through the undergrowth, which,
i upon examination, I found to be a man,
I I whis led; he started, and, when he
saw us, approached and greeted us
with—
“ Hello, Edwards! is it you? lat
first thought it was those cussed, darn
ed land hunters,” and Wash Dye, the
squatter, turned a scornful glance to
wards myself,
Edwards observed the glance, and
replied, “You are a fool, Dye. This i
Pious Jetnees of Lochinvar, you’ve
heard of him, I know.”
“Claw me with a wild cat! what a
cussed fool I was not to know old Pi
ous,” and he grasped my hand with the 1
grip of a giant. ‘ Yes, Colonel, I was 1
„- -- *• • -t- . I
though I didn’t be'ong to your regi
iment didn’t you pick me up and put
me on your black mare and send me
to the rear when I lay wounded and i
groaning on the field, expecting to j
have my leg saned of!' by some darned I
Yankee medical carpenter ? Chaw me <
for wolf’s meat if I ever forget the Col- <
onel and his black male. And that’s 1
her now,” and the old ex-reb. sprang i
to old lightfoot’s side and embraced <
her glossy neck. “Now, Colonel, Ii
know you ain’t proud, you must go 1
home with me. I’ve got a bar skin
for you to sleep on, and another to I
cover old Lightfcot, and just one bush- 1
el and a half of corn; and, by the ev- i
erlasting Jehosephat, she shall have ,
the pile.”
There was no help for it, and go we
must and go we did. Wash’s cabin
was like the man, made for to-day; to
morrow was farther ahead than \V ash
ever looked. On the banks of the
beautiful Coldwater, Wash had squat
ted; he knew not, nor cared on whose
land he had pitched his cal in. Along
the streams and bayous his traps were
set for beaver, and his lines were
stretched across the river for fish. —
Bear, Deer, wild turkeys and wild
honey abounded on his table. His
peltries brought his bread and ammu
nition, and vi a til Eye with hs wife
and children, who lived as ho lived, felt
as he felt, were a happy family. For
miles arouud they had no neighbors,
nor wanted none.
“Cuss those land hunters,” ejacula
ted Wash. “Last week old man M—
was in here with a parcel of city
bucks, looking for this very section. —
I looked at his numbers, and saw what
he was arter. So I spent two days
showing him the overflowed section
below this. I don’t think he’ll come
back to settle soon.” And Wash
chuckled with delight.
“Why don't you Buy a home, Wash,
while land is so cheap ?” says I.
“I am not able to buy a township,
Colonel, and I’d have no use for less.
I owned a quarter section on the bank
of the Mississippi. I cleared up a
patch of about forty acres, and tho’t
I was settled for life, when a Mr. H—,
tv rich man from Tennessee, bought up
the whole United States all around
me, and deadened and Cleared, God
only knows, how many acres, until my
little homestead looked like a calf pen.
The game was all run out, and I found
I had to fceek small timber or starve.
So I proposed to sell out to Mr. H—,
as no one else would have it. And he
said he didn’t want it, but would give
me the price of wild land for it. The
Old cus had me in his power, so I sold
my home to him at his own figures,
and lost all my labor and improve
ments. I swore then I would never
make another clearing in the swamps.
It only drives out game and attracts
land hunters. I expect to live and die
a poor man, but I intend to live and
die a free man.”
“But Wash, you ought to educate
your children.”
“Edicale! darn the book lamin’; if
tbar were fewer books in the world
thar would be fewer rascals. I lost all
I had once by making my mark on a
piece of paper—going on a f How’s
bond to keep him out of jaih And if
I had written my name in full, I be
lieve the cussed lawyers would have !
put me in jail in place of the fellow j
who run away. Darn the edication ! !
If they can shoot a rifle and trap beav
er they can make a living.”
“Yes, Colonel, and keep out of the
towns too,” put in Mrs. Dye. Wash
never goes to town but he gets druuk
and gets into some trouble.”
“Go slow, old woman; no tales out
of school.” And Wash winked very
cunningly at me.
I have pictured you a backwoods
family, happy and contented, because
they had no ambitiou and few wants.
Yet I’ve seen this same man tight like
a hero, while he had nothing to gain
jor lose by the result of tlig war. Yet
he would scorn to do a mean or Dis
honest action. Wash Dye was a fair
type of the backwoodsman. Civiliza
tion requires such bold, restless spirits ;
to drive the wild beasts and more sav
age Indian from its path. He is Na
tures untaught child; honest and true;
but surround him with the vice and
temptations of a city, and he would
make a villain, thief and murderer.—
God protect these untaught children
of the woods and keep them pure.—
The howling o f the wolves around.
j ash s cabin lulled me to s!ee ■.
After breakfast next morning, Ufl
wards and I sought the < amp of Mr. T
|to Wash’s disgust, to pilot Mr. T
| through !he .vamps aud show him the
j lines hi. lands.' So I made rnv
! heatlquaitors at Mr. T ’s comp,
and explored the woods fit my pleas
ure. I killed a fine buck not far from i
catnp, so we had vei is n for supper.
At night Edwards went back to Dye’s j
cabin, while I tented with Mr. M . 1
A huge log-heap fire blaze 1 cheer
fully before us, on oue side of which
was Mr. T—’s tent, on the other lay
in happy dreams those care-forgetting
sons of Afiica, when all at once a shrill
scream resounded from away down
the river. It was not altogether un
like a woman in distress. It was a
sound that pierces the sense rather
than the ear alone, and mak s a chill
creep over the frame, and the heait
beat fast. A young negro named Lut k
had just awaked from his first nap,
and was examining some potatoes he i
had left in the lire to roast. Luck !
heard the cry, and began to awaken
his comrades. Another scream, and j
all were wide awake.
“What’s dat ?” exclaimed Luck.—
‘ Somebody lost out dar in de c. ne
brake.”
Ole Sam, a graj -headed old negro,
who had been an oi l Setthr in the
sw urtps, recognized the sout and, and
quickly upset Duck and his comrades
qvcbuntiii". . . , •j,
'iott r »o.,i Dial, nigger; out r.iu t no
body, its a painter!”
Had a torpedo exploded in their
midst it would not have created a
greater sensation. Over the fire they
tumbled, Bcatt ring the embers over
our,blankets, aid into onr tent they
came pell inell, making altoge.her the
most ludicrous scene I ever witnessed.
I punchad their craniums With the butt
of my rifle, but fear was more powerful
than pain. So we made a virtue of
necessity, and gave up the tent to the
panic stricken fouls. Then we stood
by the fire listening, I with rifle in hand
hoping he would come near enough for
a shot. Again the shrill scream sound
ed close to us; then all was silent.
The deer I had kihed was hanging to
a tree near by, which had doubtles at
tracted the forest robber to examine
our camp. I waited until I became
weary, and hearing nothi g more, hiss
ed cur belonging to one of the negroes
into the cane. He dashed in quite he
roically, a fierce growl was heard, and
the cowardly cur, with his tail between
his legs, came howling back into camp,
and neither threats n o r entreaties
could induce him to quit his position
between his master’s legs. I watched
and waited until my patience became
exhausted, but the hoot of the barred
owl, and the distant howling of wolves
were the only sounds that broke the
lonely silence. So. I turned in, to
d:e m of panthers, wolves, niggers,
etc., otc.
Early next morning Edwards car
ried Mr. T and party across the
river. H e borrowed Dye’s canoe,
which was a frail affair, and lashed
two cypress logs, one on each side of
the canoe, with a grape vine, and tak
ing the wagon to pieces, by making
several trip s, got .11 safely across.
The mules and horses were pushed in
and made to swim over. But the
poor cur who fell into such disgrace
last night, sat on the bank we had left,
the picture of despair, and made the
the forest echo with his howls, until I
grew weary of his music and sent a
rifle bail across the stream, which let
out all of Sancho’s music ou the wrong
side, and thus ended his miserable ex
istence. Leaving Edwards and Mr. T
dered off down the river. I suppose
I ha cl walked about half
a mile, w hen I suddenly came upon a
large pile of leaves, sticks, etc., care
fully raked up in an immense heap—
I had seen such piles before, and knew’
it was a panther sign I examined and
found the remains of a deer that a
panther had killed, and after making a
daiuty meal, had covered it up from
the buzzards until bis appetite return
ed.
As evening was coming on, I decid
ed at once to await the coming of the
forest king. With every sense awake
I waited uutil ti:e shades of evening
approached. Then imagination began
to sport with my senses, wierd forms
flitted to aud fro in the dusky twilight.
Each moment it grew darker. I was
alone in the wilderness, with a pros
pect of a hand to hand tight with a
beas*', one stroke of whose paw could
crush to earth the antlered stag I
glanced along the barrel of my rifle—
the foresight was not visible. I chang
my positiou«to the margin of the river
to get a better fight, and as a precau
tion against a rear attack. The little
stars rose cold and cheerless, but
amid the dense shades of the lofty cy
press, embowered with muscatine vines,
they gavj but a feeble light. I could
hear the horns blowing for me m camp.
I knew they wondered at my delay.
Had I been a novice in woodcraft, they
would have said I was lost, but Ed
wards knew I was at home anywhere
in the woods. I knew I could sound
a signal on my horn that would bring
Edw..ids to my side. But the craven
thought was not entertained for a mo
ment. I kuew I was alone, and in
danger; but that very danger had lur
ed me to wait the panthers coming,
tight it out on his own ground. 1
squatted low, and wit Liny ear strain
ed to catch the panthers sound, -when
I beard a cane crack. My heart al
most ceased to be>at, not from fear, but
from excitement. Yet I felt my cour
age rise equal to the occasion, and I
kuew I held my. rifle as firmly as if my
i nerves were of iron. I would not have
| taken a million at that moment for the
confidence I felt in myself.
I heard a low growl, and saw two
luminous eyes like glow worms, I
took no time for a second thought.—
I sighted my rifle and pressed the trig
ger. With the repor. of my rifle I saw
j !t black object leap high in the air,
! and then 1 heard the struggle of some
powerful animal in its death agony.
I lost no time, but lustily reloaded,
but I had not finished when I heard j
the scream of a panther a little wav '
off'. The battle was not over. I had !
killed one enemy, but another was ap- j
preaching, which knew of my presence.
But I felt my breath come freer when
I again cocked my loaded rifle. Some
minutes of intense anxiety passed by,
w hile I strained every nerve and sense/
listening for the velvet foot of my foe,
j when 1 heard a growl close to the spot
| where niv first panther fi 11. I saw two j
| 1 lazing eyes. I raised my rifle and fi- i
j red. Simultaneous with the report of |
jmy gun, I felt a ht avy body rush
i against me. I could see" nothing but j
a huge black mass; then I was knock
ed down, but my presence of mind did
not for a moment forsake me. Mv
knife was out, and I was ready for the
mortal struggle. When I fell the pan
ther had passed over me. I could see
him struggling iu the edge of the wa
ter, for, facing the river, I h id a better
light. \\ ith a fierce growl it springs
forwa rd. lam knocked down, but i
feel my long knife is up to the hilt in
his body.
“Jo tor him, dogs,” I heard a voice
say, and it sounded sweeter than any
earthly music over sounded before and I
rnents had arrived not a moment too
soon. The dogs gathered arouud the
huge beast, ns lie turned from ine on
his new assailants.
I gave him a thrust with my knife,
and quickly the report of two rifles
echoed through the wood, and all was
still, except the tugging of the dogs
on the body of m3’ now fallen enemy.
‘‘Are you hurt, Pious?”
“No.”
And old Edwards and Wash. Dye
were grasping my hands.
We struck a light and examined the
scene of conflict. My first panther was
only a half grown kitten, the last was
the old dam. I had made two good
shots—the first I had hit in the centre
of the forehead, the second I had also
shot in the centre of the head, but b om
her crouching position, the ball had
glanced over the skull, passing out
through her shoulder, smashing that
limb to pieces. Her brain was doubt
less addled by the glancing ball, which
no doubt, saved me in her first charge,
and each thrust wi‘h my knife had
been Well directed. I was considerably
bruised, and a little scratched, and
pretty well exhausted.
I sat down to rest with a grateful
heart for my happy delivery.
“A bully good tight you made, Pious”
exclaimed Wash. Dye. “Two agin one
in a painter fight is party heavy odds
in daylight, but in the dark it’s worse
than no chance sit all.”
‘•How did you happen to come so
opportunely to mv assistance?” inquir
ed J.
“Well,” replied Edwards, “ Wash,
and I had been waiting for your return
an hour or two, as Wash, said we must
go back home with him, and I knew,
when you failed to answer my signal,
something was out of gear; and when
we heard your rifle, and then a painter
scream, we made a bee line towards
the sound, and got up just in time to
see you ou*.”
We built a fire, and I rested, talking
with Edwards, while Wash, returned
to camp and brought Mr. T— and the
negroes with horses, and soon my tro
phies were in camp and the skins off.
We then crossed the river to Wash, s
cabin and slept until morning, and for
breakfast we had panther steaks; and
though at first I was prejudiced against
panther meat, as too “cutish,” it look
ed so white and nice I tried it and found
it as nice and sweet as the breast pf a
turkey.
It all now seems like a dream. The
only things that ipttke it seem real are
two beautiful, soft panther skins which
adorn the walls of the shooting box of

Dexter’s Rival.—At a race on the
Magnolia course, at Mobile, a dark
bay horse, formerly owned in Indian
apolis by' a carpenter, trotted a race
ot' five heats to a wagon weighing 136
pounds, aud the driver weighing 172
pounds. The last and slowest heat
was trotted in 2.28. The Indianapo
lis horse was beaten only a neck. Take
the track at five seconds slow, and
eight seconds for wagon, it wili com
pare with the fastest time made on the
best track in the country by the white
legged bay. Mr. Bonner may yet have
to pay one hundred thousand dollars
for a horse that can trot as fast as
Dexter.
