begged them to fight, but they ruslted
down the hill to escape the furious on
.laugbt of the soldiers. With never a
bait and never a rally they reached the
Iwttum of the hill, bearing twelve dead
and more than twenty wounded miners
with them. They hurried far out of
tight and reach of guns. They then col-
levied their sliattcied and wounded
forces and it is feared there are moro
than half a hundred wounded more than
are reported.

A letter from sludge Henderson, who
was for several yeara Commissioner
of Agriculture of the .State of Georgia.
Ati.axtV, Gs., July Dtb, 18P2.
Dkaii but:—.Some time early in Slay I
concluded from what I heard of it, that
the Klectropolse, such oa you now have
on sale, might be of service to mo. I
had been for many years a tulTercr with
a diseased condition of the stomach and
liver, and I wanted to see the efTects of
the Klectropolse upon those organs.
Accordingly I tried the *r* ise u|*on a
high*jM»wer, but experienced no benefit
as far as my liver was concerned.
Finally I made a local application to
my liver, placing the plate in contact
therewith for about four hours. This
application pi«»diictd considerable corn- j
motion about the aifccted organs, but
hod the happy effect when it passed
away of leaving iny liver to all appear-
II. I am of the opinion now
should I make a few more similar appli
cations, though less severe, that I snail
Ihj greatly benefitted if not ent rely
cured .about my chest and stomach.
1 applied the Klectropolse to my
daughter, who had been a great sufferer
for a n u in IM-r of springs with fever aud
bowel troubles. In two days’ time she
was not only rid of the fever, but of the
bowel dilliculty as well.
In all cases of sickness we consider
tho Klectropolse almost Indispensable
