Physicians use Thru in Their Practice. —lt is almost universally (he case that Phy iscians condemn what aro generally known as “Patent Medicines." rlltbough DR. TUTT’i L77E11 TILLS I S NOU A PA7’.VN’T MEDICINE, yet its composition (the result of years of study) is known only to himself, and so palpable are their valuable curative properties, (hat very many of the first Phy sicians in the South and West have adopted them in their practice, and recommend them ( to their patients. “Be kind to tho stranger that is within thy gates,”is an injunction that should be obeyed. This, however, does not demand a sacrifico of personal rights, and tho following is ono in stance in which a stranger got a “lick ing” for making the demand. It ap pears that after tho labor and hard ships of the week were ended, tho stranger alluded to betook himself to one of the saloons in our town, tho owner of which pays his license regu larly, and found recreation in a game of billiards with a friend. Tho game ■ being over, the beaten party said to the proprietor of tho table • that ho would pay him tbo next morning. The proprietor told him that ho did not do business that way, and must have his pay. This requisition rovealed the fact that tho unfortunate man’s green backs were non est comatilus, whereup on his friend drew his purse and paid tho bill. The idoa of being refused credit was an insult too intolerable to be borne, and a criminal at tho bar could not havo suffered more from tho lash of the tongue than did this sa loon-keeper from the vented spleens of this moneyless man. Ilis epithets were of short duration, howover, for the injured proprietor “went for’ him with both hands for a while, then va ried tho scone by taking a billiard cue. Tlie City Council thought they were damaged §13.50 worth, which amount they ordered collected by the Marshal- We learn that suit will bo commenc ed against tbo Council for arrest with out warrant. If so, our City Attor ney will have a showing, and “when Greek moots Greek, then comes the tug of war.” Justice is defined as being of two kinds, commutative and rctrilutatice, the former consisting in unequal exchange of benefits, the latter in an equal dis tribution of rewards and punishments. Officers of justice date back as far as the time of Moses, and amidst all the revolutions that have swept over the land tho same dignity that first at tached to these honored persons, is still held to be inviolable. There are, however, exceptions to all general rules, and wo cite ono instance of re cent occurrence wbero all thought ol power and honor were forgotten, to wit: A fifteenth amftidmont entered the yard of our honored Justico of tho peace, tho .other day while the sun was shining hut to reflect the guilt of tho perpetrator, and lifted from tho clothes line garment by garment, until said line was empty. Being satisfied with tho clothing ho had captured, ho left the line and started to rnako good his escape. What was his surpriso, how ever, to hear the voice of tho trust worthy cook-woman hallooing after him, “drap dem clothes ; you know dey ain’t your’n.” She not only hallooed after him hut gave chase, and so ex pert was she “on the heel,” the would be logue cast aside his load and “went it alono.” Consequence: the black smith for whom he was “striking, had to got anew hand at the bellows.

Now, I have nover seen such a caso, w w ith my present impressions, if I amounts to a liundrod mdho It is a curious fact that our exports t of corn to England have steadily ial lon off since *1866. In that year vro , exported nearly soven million hun- , drod weight of corn to that country: . iu 1867 and 1868, a little over four , millions, and in 1869, only a little over a million and a quarter. Tho reason for this falling off is two-fold, viz: An increased homo consumption, and the enormous cos of transportation from tho mtonoi to ho sea board. , . , Cheap transportation is tho clamo rous demand of tho day, and the com mercial exigency of this country.

We find the roads of our county in bolter condi ion than they havo been for many vearH passed, yet we think there is still room for improvement. While we do not find suf ficient cause te censure our Commissioners lor neglect of duty, yet we would exhort them to use every effort to bring the roads up to a high standard, and then they will honor the county. While wo recommend our Commis“ioners and overseers to public favor for making an honest effort in this particular, wo would suggest to them that the track of our roads be improved a ltttle at the earliest convenience. The opening, we think, enmes up to tho requirements of the law. We would suggest to tho Ordinary to keeD efficient men in these posts of honor. We have, by a reliable committee, exam ined our Jail, and find it worthless, and of no use to the publio. We therefore recommend to the Ordinary to dispose of it to tho best advantage to the county and have anew one built. In bidding his Honor, Judge narrell adieu we extend to him our thanks for the very ef ficient and impartial manner in which he has discharged his irksome duties as an officer.

Every dav demonstrates more clearly that liver complaint, in all its distressing forms, nan be controlled and cared without difficulty or inconvenience. It is an obstinate disease, but its obstinacy is not proof against the per tinieinus, remedial and restorative operation ot Hostctter’s Stomach Hitters. That geni. a! corrective compels (lie organ to do its duty It must secrete regularly and healthfullv un der the influenee of the Bitters. Their ac tion brings it back from a state of rebellion into perfect harmony with the laws of health. If there is costiveness, it disappears ; if there is side-ache or back-ache, it ceases ; if the skin and tho whites of the eyes are tinged with sup*!luous bilo, they recover their nat ural hue ; if the appetite is gone, it returns ; if the digestion is impaired, it is restored ; in brief, whatever tho symptoms of the com plaint may be, and whatever the phase it has assumed, a cure is certain. Such are the uniform effects of this preparation where bil lions disease has been already developed ; hut in cases where there is merely a coDSti tutional tendency to liver complaint, it may be prevented throughout life by the regular use, in small quantities, 0} this palatable an tidote. These aro proven facts, and should bo seriously pondered—or rather, they should be promptly aotod upon—by all per . sons of billious habit. “So ‘PROCLAMATION. ter!” exclaimed 1 tones. “And why not ?” Loila made no answomj a rose from tho bush said State. it to pieces, ou treat mo Bfnformation has been that flower,” hfpartmcut that a murder toll vou wb/h the county of Doughe.ty, Leila 11th day of May, IfVO upon • Chester Donnally (colored,) by Brown (colored,) as is alleged, and that said Brown has fled fiom justice : I have thought proper, therefore, to issue this mv Proclamation, hereby offering a re ward of Five Hundred Dollars for the appre hension and delivery ot the said Brown, with proof sufficient to convict, to the .hueritl ol said county and State. .
