Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. I JAIN 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 the top of the shoulder, and L sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appe tite and sickness: the bowels in gen eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the hack part. There is generally a considerable loss of mem ory, accompanied with a painful sen sation of having left undone some thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cmtgh is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of wearinc: • . id 0.. dity; he is easily startled, h -t; ct arc cola or burning, and he compl ins of a prickly sensa tion of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is atisfied that exer cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of tne above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few ot them ex isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the liver to have been extensively deranged. AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Pills, in cases of Ague and Fever, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. " e would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a i '.ir trial.

Special Message From ilie Gov ernor on the Subject La -1 week we published an account of u difficulty between Hon. 13. H. Hill and Mr. Wes. Murphy, clerk in the State Treasure’s office, and stated that we should look for further develop ' ments in the matter. Hon. B. H. Hill, i j subsequently, in a private letter to one of the editors of the Augusta Chronic le \4' Constitutionalist, pronounced the statement made by the Constitution un. | fair and incorrect, aud furthar stated that Morril told him that the S 000 was paid to Mnrphy only after a ong negotiation, and, finally, on an assur ance made by Murphy that otherwise the bonds wouid nqt be signed, and that ion the next day after the payment of the money to Murphy, the Governor | commenced to sign the bonds. This statement caused suspicion in | the minds of some against the Governor, : and, on Wednesday last, he sent the i folio wing message on the subject to the : General Assembly. We shall watch I the matter closely : SPECIAL MESSAGE. Executive Department, Atlanta, G a., November 6, 1878. To the General Assembly : A grievious necessity has bee • im posed on me to demand at your hands a .thorough investigation of my motives and conduct as the Executive of (loraria j. ° in placing the State’s endorsement upon the bonds of the Northeastern Railroad This necessity has been created by widely circulated slanders and inuen does, vile and maligant, and so mend acious and wicked as to make all com ; merit and paraphrase upon them uttorlv j futile. Nothing but a thorough sifting jof my every motive and act in regard . to these bonds, as far as hum til in.-igilt | and judgment can reach them can satis fy aggrieved hon .r, or give such entire assurance to the people of Georgia, i they have a right to demand in e premises. To a raaa who values hi • good name far more than life, it w mid ibe an act of supremest injii.-T to *euy L ,ao. plenary vindication r? •’ red jn the most august and auth ufi i e form known to the laws, or to public opinion. To the peopi * f s Ceu monweylth it is of the last consequeuO ■ that they should know, beyond all i adventure, that the man who fi.ls at their call the chief seat of authority, is al, roach or suspicion. My denunciation of an awful and stu pendous hinder, forged and uttered to dHion , me, will not be enough The The General Assembly of this State—a eo-or dnato power—is appealed to for that justice which, while it will, I know full well, exonerate me as a man, will also vindicate the fair frame of Georgia, a sailed by cruel slanders on her Chief Executive.

In the morning he says to the white man: ‘Ale have dream last night.” “Oh, what was it ?” “Me dream you gave your gray mare, and then you gave me ride; that you gave me much powder, much ball, much shot.” “Did you, indeed? What a dream' > “Yes, me dream it all.” “Well, thats bad, for my "fife al wavs rides the g. o mare, and she thinks she can’t ride any other horse ; but if you dreamed it, why, I suppose you must have her. And my rifle too —my favorite riflle—you dreamed I gave you that, too ?” “Yes, me dreamed rifle too.” “Well, if you dreamed it, why, l suppose you must take that, too, but it’s very singular.” So the white man gave them all into the Indian’s possession, but persuaded aim to tarry with him oue night more. In the morning the white man says to the Indian. “I had a dream last night.” “No, did you ?” “Yes, but I <id though. I dreamed that you gave me all the land between Pojunket river and Cataquench moun tains,” about three hundred acres of -he most beautiful land imaginable. ••Ah ! bones of my father ! Well, if ou dreamed it, why, I suppose you •lust have the land—but me neve r ir earn with you any more.”— Ladle's Cibnrt. Kir.CE!> UY V SERPENT. Terrible Encounter with a I>ead ly Blowing Viper in a i>ark Room. Altoona Pa. TYilmnc* A terrible calamity befell Dr. Paul hamus and bis accomplished daughter Eleanor, Tuesday evening in Williams burg, Pa. It seems that a couple of weeks ago two tramps captured a pair of enormous reptiles, which the doctor pronounced to be of that deadly species known as the “blowing viper.’’ The doctor, having a desire to contribute something that would commend itself from this district, purchased the rep tiles, intending to forward them to the Zoological Gardens in Philadelphia. 13idi,.g their transportation the snakes were placed in a large glass jar, the top being carefully secured by a covering of wire gauze. The jar was then placed on an ele vated bracket in a remote corner of the doctor’s office. Last evening the doctor and his daughter were returning from a visit to the country, and the doctor having occasion to make up a prescription, they both entered the of fice, the doctor lighting a lamp And now comes the terrible denouement. A large owl swept in through the transom above the door and flew with the speed of an arrow against the lamp, knocking it over and scattering ic oil and bro ken git' in every directi ai. The bird seemed frantic, flying and dashing in every direction while a gen eral crash of bottles and glasses was heard on every side. Meantime the doctor had lit another match, but just ! in time to receive his daughter, who ; sprang with a wild cry to his arms. In the wild darkness he gathered his dar- I ling in his arms, and in a moment real- 1 ized the situation. The owi had dis- ; lodged the jar from the bracket and . the vipers were at large. Speedily he , groped his way, calling 1 tudly for help, 1 w.uch, th ■ a ■ r being late, wis slow to put in an appearance. They seemed 1 slaw, but scarcely five minutes elapsed until fully a dozen ladies and brave men were on the spot. No living hand can indite the hor rors of the next, few minutes. Miss E’emor, who bad been insensible since she spran' > her father’s arms, was now being cared for by the ladies, when one s'multa icons shriek almost froze the blood and paralized each nerve— yet not all It was Thomas Luiz’s hand that seized the glittering reptile by the neck and choked its fearful fangs apart. Ii had bitten the lady mid-way between the ankle and the knee. She was now carried immediately to her home, where every known antidote for poison was administered by her frantic father, but to no avail. She died at 6:30 o’clock this morning. After taking the i oor, unfortunate young lady home one of the men, know ing there had been two snakes, returned to the office and soon dispatched the other. An examination showed its (wo large fangs missing. This led'to the conjecture that possibly the doctor had been bitten. A hasty return aud close examination resulted in finding the fangs iu the thick leathers of the doc tor’s boots, who, being so alarmed for his daughter, had not the slightest know e Ige of being struck. The corpse of the you ig lady was swollen to enormous dimension, while complexion is in harmony wi It the spots and general eo oring of the snake. The larger of the make’s measured Li feet, the smaller t feet. They are both pronounced by our old people the largest of the species. It was the shor ter one of the two that bit the young lady. Two Snake- Ki ling a Raccoon. A fishing party on the banks of Shoal creek, Jasper county, Mo., heard a noise in the underbrush, and going in the direction of the soun Is saw a large coou and two larg black snakes in deadly combat, the former getting the w >rst of the fight.— One of the reptiles was coiled around i the coon’s body, and, whenever it at tampted to use its teeth, the other snake struck at its eyes. It attempt ed to retreat, bnt the snake which en circled it dropped a coil, aud, as quick as thought, took a “half hitch” around a small sapling. It tried hard to pull loose, and, while its energies were bent in that direction, the other snake took a coil around the coon’s neck, an 1 in a few moments chok and the life out of it. The spectators, who had been dumb witnesses of the struggle, advanced and killed the victors One measured nine feet, and the other seven feet six inch- .— St. Louis Republican. Waking- Up the Baby. t _________ i Just at dusk, the other dismal day, i three children, the eldest of whom did I not seem over ten years old, were hud \ died together on the rickety steps of an old house on Beaubien street. A pedes train passed over their heads to read the number on the door, and thy chil dren looked so frightened that lie asked: “Children, where are your father and mother ?” “Father’s been gone off for ever so long; and mother goes out to wash and hasn't got home yet,” answered the eldest, a girl. “And you are all alone “Yes, sir, but baby is in ou the bed. He’s been asleep an awful long time, and we can’t wake him up. If we could we’d play bide and seek and let him find us.” “Is the baby sick ?” inquired the man.’’ “\Ye don’t know, sir, but we can’t wake him up ; I touched him and touch ed him, and Charlie he tickled his feet, but little Sandy never moved once. 1 guess he is awful sleepy. Don’t you think you could wake him up ?” “I’ll try,” replied the man, as he went in, and when the girl lighted the lamp he followed her into a bedroom in which there was neither carpet nor furniture. Pushed back against die ■ wall was a poor old straw tick and a single quilt.. He bent over to look at the child, and the first glance showed him that little Sandy was dead. On the window sill were some pieces of bread and milk, with which the children intended to feed him. The deal child’s hand clasped a rag doll made of an old calico apron, and its thin little feet, and pale face were evidences tliat it had known sickness and hunger through out its brief life. While the children waited for him to op. n his eyes and romp with them, aud drive the gloom out of the house, the angels had whis pered to him, and his had unclosed to beuold the splendor of Heaven. “Wont he wake up ?” asked one of Lie children, standing bunk in the shad ow. “Children, you must not come in here until your mother comes!” he said, as he left the room. “Won’t he be afraid to wake up in the dir a ?’’ they asked. “lie will sleep a long time yet!’’ he whispered, not daring to tell them the truth, and as he w "it out they put. the light ju on the bed room floor, that lit tle Aan 1/ might not Sml the darkness around him w en his sleep had ended.

A Girl I-lown h, tjr ir'.ers of it Mile. A correspondent writing front Colum bus, Nob., says : “A peculiar incident occurred here a few months since, the particulars of which I have just learned. It was on tiio day the memorable cyc lone passed over Lone Tree and Clark’s. Tjie s y was stroa ed in ho northwest with vivid flashes of light, aud a terri ble rumbling sound made mown that a dreadful storm was immiriet. A mas sive black cloud was extending a whir ling finger toward the earth and sweep ing with great fury whatever came lie fire it: Jennie—-a girl who was wor dug at a certain hotel here—was busy at the stove preparing for the next meal. Hearing ralile at the side door, Jennie went to the door and opened it. As she did so she was caug't from the doorway by the whirling wind and cur ried over t e house, turning around and round in the air as she went, and after approae Jug the ground on the O'her side she again arose, and was tak en by the whirling wind over the stories and dwellings a distance of three-fourths of a mile, being lowered so that her feet could touch the ground as many as eight times during the trip.

On Wednesday night of last week Mr. Thomas \vhitsett, a prominent planter aud citizen of Lee county, about nine miles north of Albany, was mur dered by some party or parties unknown. He was shot in the head just as he had undressed for retiring to bed. Several negro men employed by him wore in the room at the time ; and they say that he was sitting by a window and was shot from the outside. One ball entered the eye, the other through the temple. No other white person was present at (he time As yet nothing definite concerning the terrible assassination ; but detec tives are on the track, and severa par ties have been suspicioned and arrested. We shall furnish our readers with par ticulars as they are developed. Jack Sellars, Col’d., Convicted op the Murder. Mr W Eason Sm'th, a policeman of this city, who has been working on the ease for the past week, returned home yesterday evening, and reports as follows; On Saturday last lie arrested Robt. Jones, a boy who was in the room at the time of the killing. Jones was the body-servant of Mr. Whitsett and slept in his room every night. Ho was plac ed in the Lee county jail. On Monday he arrested eight others on that and ad joining places. Among them Jack Sellars and Simon Daniel. Daniel and 11 bt.

Hi ram Wheeler, ti brother of the hriue, presented the couple with one of the uic.el cent pieces which iw-J just been • issued, on which he had engraved the names of the bride and groym and the date of the marriage. When their first child was born, a year afterward, they attached this coin to a chain and hung it about the babe's neck. Thirteen years ago the boy was six years old. The family then lived in Ithaca. One and iv the boy detached the coin from the chain, and spent it for candy. Since then father, mother and son have died. At the recent fair of the Indians in the Cattarau _us reservation, W. N. Fuller, a brother of the late C. N. Fuller, made a purchase at a stand. Tu the change tat was handed back to him was the identical penny that Hiram Wheeler had engraved twenty-one years ago, and that his it lie nephew spoilt in Ith aca thirteen years ago.

One of the mos 1 simple, and at the same lime most ingenious, itnplemen's on view a: he exliibi ion is an inven tion of a young man in ibis ci y, a Mr. F Fa'kner. I is called a “nail gun,’ and is used for nailing down flooring boards. We have seen 'he impleincn in use, and, as far as we are able to judge, i is quic er i:i is work and in sures grea-'er cleanliness than hand nailing could do. The appura us is not unlike a gun in shape, and is abou the the same length.

It slides down to the bot pm, and 'lien then die opera or draws up a rod, and by one downward stroke of bis lie nail clean ly driven in o the boards beneath. A practical hand, by this simple contri vance, could do lie work of half a doz en men.
