MV LIFE.
My Ufa ia like the shattered wreck
Cut by the waves upon the ehore ;
The broken nut, .the rifted deck,
Tell of the shipwreck that u o er ;
Yet from the relics of the atorm
The mariner hie raft will form
Again to tempt the faithless eea;
Bat hope rebuild* no barque for me.
My life ia like the blighted oak
That lift* it* eere and withered form,
Soathed by the lightning a sudden stroke,
Sternly to meet the coming tonn;
Yet round the eapleee trunk will twine
The curling tendril* of the vine,
And life and freshness there impart—
Not to the paaeion-blighted heart.
My life i* like the deeert rock
In the mid ocean lone and drear.
Worn by the wild wave*" ceanelee* shock,
That round it* base their surges rear ;
Yet there the eea moss still will cling ;
Some flower* will find a cleft to spring ;
i„s breathe e'en there a sweet perfume ;
For me life’s flower* no more will bloom.
My life ia like the desert waste,
By human footsteps seldom pressed ;
The eye no freshness there can trace,
No verdant spot on which to rest;
Yet e’en among these sands so drear
The stork will tend her young with care—
E'en there the notes of joy impart. 1
But naught can cheer my lonely heart.

I lounge against my garden gate ;
On one side heaven the sun hangs low ;
Down one side crawls the exhausted storm
That flashed aud crashed and boor ago.
I lounge and see. with musing eye,
Two roses and a butterfly.
One is a sumptuous languid roso :
That bows its heavy, lovely head,
While each fresh petal's velvet curve
Burns with the same deep drowsy red ;
Circe her suble self (who knows t)
Plotting new sorceries in a rose 1
One is a pale pure bloom, with leaves
Like satin in their lustres mild.
Half-closed, and faiutlier flushed than looks
The chaste palm of a little child,
Or pink as some late sunsets are,
That yearn to feel the evening star!
The huttei fly’s quick-quivering wings
Wear each the blendings of such hues,
As lurk in some old tapestry's
Dim turmoil of golds, crimsons, blues ;
Wings where dull smoldering color lies,
Lit richly with two peacock eyes .
He can not leave the great red rose ;
He flutters near it, loath to part •
From all the fragrant charm which girds
That blood-crop warm from Bummers
heart!
And on the pale rose, glimmering near,
One rain-drop sparkles, like a tear .
INTO THE NIGHT.
BY BESSIE.
Slowly and darkly the shallows come down,
Clasping each form with a threatening frown,
And the sun of a day aud a life have gone
down, , , .
Pitiful, into the night.
Gold on the ear came the toll of its knell;
Deep in the heart with its sorrow it fell ;
But in sunshine, or shadow, that heart can
ne'er tell— .. ...
Mournfully tell of its mgnt.
Down in the flower-bells nestled the dew,
Deep in the glen where the wild flowers grew ;
But it fell in the brightness of morning’s warm
hue—
Tearfully fell for the night.
As rise* the dew, on the morning's wing,
To it* native sky where the angels sing ;
80, exultant, the hearts of the sorrowing
spring
Into the rest of God's love.
Bo slowly the shadows are coming down,
Clasping each form with a threatening frown
In the eve of a life, its sun has gone down,
Pitifully into the night.
BY AND BY.
What will it matter, by and by,
Whether my path below was bright,
Whethor it wound through dark or light,
Under a gray or golden sky,
When I look back on it, by and by ?
What will it matter, by and by,
Whether, unhelped. I toiled alone,
” Dashing my foot against a stone ;
Missing the charge of the angel nigh.
Bidding me think of the by and by ?
What will it matter, by and by,
Whether with laughing joy I went
Down through the years with a glad content,
Never believing, nay not I,
Tears would be sweeter by and by ?
What will it matter, by and by,
Whether with cheek to cheek I'vo lain
Close by the pallid angel, Pain,
Soothing myself through sob and sigh:
“All will be elsewise by and by ?”
What will it matter ? Naught, if I
Only am sure the way I’ve trod.
Gloomy or gladdened, leads to God,
Questioning not of the how or why,
If I but reach Him by and by.
What will I care for the unshared sigh,
If in my I oar of slip or fall,
Closely I've clung to Christ through all,
Mindless how rough the patii might lie,
Since He will smooth it by aud by ?
Ah 1 it will matter, by and by,
Nothing but thiß: That Joy or Pain
Lifted me skyward, liolpeu to gain,
Whethor through rack or smile or sigh,
Heaven—home—all in all, by and by!
HAUNTED.
BY KLZEY HAY.
|For the Constitution.]
And so the old house is haunted, you say,
And men look askance as they pass in the
street;
Ah well, you sav true, for turn where I may,
Pale ghoßts of the part rise nnbid at my foet.
Sitting alone by my desolate hearth,
The shadowy phantoms come thronging
around; .......
Phantoms of pleasures that died in their birth,
And Borrows that never a burial found.
Pale faoes gaze at me I fain would forgot,
And voices long hushed wake to music again
Each dusky old corridor’s echoing yet
With the footsteps that memory would stifle in
vain.
There’s a ghost in tho garret, a ghost in the
hall.
Each chamber, so Bilent and empty you see,
With its barren expanses of blank bare wall
Haa a ghOßtly inhabitant waiting for mo.
That old arm oliair, do you think, by the fire
la vacaut! Ah no, when the embers burn
low.
Comes the vision at evo of a gravheaded sire,
And spreads its thin palms in the sullen red
glow.
This sofa, moth-eaten and useless for years.
Onoe pillowed the saintliest sufferor’s head;
Oh mother, 'twould spare mo myibitterest tears,
Would memory but leave you at rest with the
dead.
For joyß that are gone, when remembered
again,
Like blossoms bereft of their sweets by the
frost.
Are poor withered things, that do but retain
The thorns of the rose, when its fragrance is
lost.
fttep light by that closet, don't trip as you go,
For there is the spectre I dread most of all—
There’e a skeleton hid in each household you
know—
Come this way—That picture you see on the
wall,
With its round rosy Ups aud its clustering
hair—
She's a ghost now, that hovers each night at
my door;
And those little worn shoes—do you think I
can't hear
Their pattering yet on tho old oaken floor ?
Why is it. I wonder, the past never dies.
Though you bury it deep as the ocean’s bed ?
From the lowest abyss 'twill unbidden arise,
And live in Eternity when you ara dead.
See here, where a nuptial conch was spread;
Bat the bridegroom's content with a pillow of
clay.
And the bride, she is faded and old, and un
wed;
She hath seen hut the ghost of her marriage
day.
For visions there are. of times and of places.
That come to ns oft as our life waxes old.
As well as of people and voices aud faces,
Shivering bootless out in the cold.
Yes, the old house is haunted, the people say
true.
Go. leave me alone with niv shadowy host;
With the living and loving Ive little to do,
For I am myself but an unturned ghost.
The researches made by Dr. Sillin,
one of the most experienced of European
dentists, have led him to the opinion
that common or acute toothache pro- j
ceeds from causes but little considered
or understood. In the center of every
tooth, he says, there is a cavity corres
ponding in' shape to that of the tooth
itself, and into this cavity passes through
a minute aperture at the end of each
root, a branch of a nerve, an artery, and
a vein; and when, either by mechanical
injury or decay, this cavity becomes ex
posed to the’ air’s action, the blood
thickens or coagulates to an extent be
yond the capacity of the vein to remove
in the natural way; inflammation ensues
and pain commences, at first slightly;
more blood is pumped in at every pulse
of the heart, through the branch of the
artery, and, the hard material of which
the tooth is formed being unyielding, a
pressure is set np on the walls of the
cavity and its contents, including the
nerve. This pressure is increased at
every pulse with great precision, causing
intense and hourly increasing pain—
commonly known as acute toothache.
Another very general but less painfnl
kind, is that arising from inflammation
of the root and socket.

THE OPINION OF MH. CHAHLES
O’CONOK.
Considering the Executive Error in
172 -The Daw—The President Can
lSsmedy His Mistake.
New Yobk, September 26, 1872.
Jo the Editor of the Herald :
The impressive unanimity of senti
ment which prevails on the question of
Kellogg’s claim to the office of Governor,
as that claim stood originally and prior
to any action of the President, renders
it quite needless to express any opinion
on that subject. Leaving out of view,
for the moment, President Grant’s acts,
the judgment of the press and of nearly
all deservedly influential persons, in or
ont of office, seems to be that Kellogg
was not duly elected. Assuming this
judgment to be correct, the main if not
the only practical point for considera
tion, at this time, is as follows:
Was the original error of the Presi
dent in recognizing Kellogg as Gov
ernor a conclusive judgment, which,
subject only to a review by Congress,
was absolutely binding upon all persons,
including the President himself, and
also irrevocable by him even, though he
should ' have subsequently discovered
his mistake ? It cannot be confidently
affirmed that this point had ever been
thus distinctly and sharply presented to
the mind of that eminently learned and
experienced jurist and statesman, Rev
erdy Johnson, before he prepared the
opinion with which, in your columns,
you have favored the public. If any
difference shall be observed between his
views and mine I am persuaded they
are such as a joint conference and con
sultation would have obviated.
On an exigency of this kind the whole
authority of the Federal Government,
in any of its departments, or in all of
them combined, is derived from tbe
constitutional power aud duty “to pro
tect each of the States against invasion,
and, on application of the Legislature
or of the Executive (when the Legisla
ture cannot be convened), against do
mestic violence.” It will be seen that
while the duty to protect from invasion
ah extra is absolute and unconditional,
neither the power nor the duty to pro
tect a State government from “domestic
violence” is conferred or arises except
when such government, by its legisla
tive body or its Executive, solicits Fed
eral aid. And it should further be ob
served that it is only when the legisla
tive body is not in session and cannot be
convened that the State Executive is au
thorized to invoke intervention. The
strictness and precision of the funda
mental law in these particulars is very
instructive. It was only in cases of im
perious necessity, and then under the
most cautious limitations, that the
fathers consented to allow Federal in
terference with State elections. How
ever flagrant the disorders and viola
tions of law and justice, in the canvass
or otherwise, by which a duly and fairly
elected State officer might be set aside
and an usurper permitted to occupy his
seat, it was deemed most expedient to
leave the remedial process in the hands
of the State itself. In such a case, if
the State Legislature chooses to ac
quiesce the Federal authority cannot in
terfere while it is in session or can be
convened, nor would such interference
be lawful, even in tho recess of the Leg
islature, if the lawfully elected Execu
tive, through corruption, pusillanimity
or otherwise, declined to solicit aid in
support of his pretensions. It scarcely
requires a reference to the sound and
clearly illustrative opinion in Luther v.
Borden, 7 Howard’s U. S. Reports, to
prove that the power of determining
which is legitimate of two existing de
facto State governments, is not judicial
but political. When one of these ap
peals to the Federal Government for
protection against the “domestic vio
lence” of the other, Congress, or in its
default, the President, must of course
determine the question, and the State
government recognized by this deter
mination must be protected accordingly
against its rival by the Federal Execu
tive. Be it in reasoD, justice and truth
ever so erroneous, such a decision must,
nevertheless, bo regarded valid so long
as it remains in force. And it is bind
ing on all persons and in all courts and
places. Against the moral or political
wrong, if there be one, there is no
remedy but revolution and with revolu
tions judicial science has little o. no con
cern. , , , ,
All this I think must be conceded by
everyjsound lawyer, and fromtheseprem
ises some persons who believe that Kel
logg was not duly elected still maintain
that the President’s original error in
recognizing him is of such potency, in
law or policy, that tho President is
bound to persist in it and to reinstate
Kellogg by the military forces of the
Union as often as he may be displaced.
In my opinion the premises do not war
rant the conclusion thus drawn from
them. A decision by competent official
authority binds, it is true, without refer
ence to the question of its justice or
propriety; but this rule obtains only so
long as the decision remains in force;
and the cases are rare indeed, if there
be any, in which a decision, by any tri
bunal or official authority, is absolutely
irreversible. Courts of the highest au
thority, or, as it is sometimes expressed,
Courts of the last resort, occasionally
recall their own judgments and hold for
naught their own previous solemn adju
dications. This was lately done by the
Supreme Court of the United States in
the familiar controversy concerning the
constitutionality of the legal tender acts.
It is true that a Court of last resort will
generally refuse to reconsider a question
which it has once directly adjudicated.
But no proposition is better established
than that it is the duty of every such
Court to recall any decision of its own
which it has become convinced was er
roneous.
In this Louisiana case the paramount
authority was Congress. A recognition
of the Kellogg government by that
body would have bound the President
and all others until Congress should it
self have again acted on the subject and
revoked its former conclusion. Con
gress not having acted in this case Pres
ident Grant’s recognition had a similar
effect, and bound all parties; but as
Congress might have revoked its deter
mination so might President Grant have
reconsidered his opinion, and when call
ed upon a second time by Kellogg he
might have refused his aid. And unless,
when such second application was made,
General Grant still labored under his
original and erroneous opinion that Kel
logg w r as duly elected, he ought to have
so refused. ’ Kellogg, to be sure, was
ousted by force from a State office, into
which he had been inducted by the
President, in the exercise of a constitu
tional power; and the employment of
that force was a breach of peace. But.it
was the peace of the good people of Louis
iana that was broken. No law of the
Union was infringed or contemned. The
extreme violence which accompanied
Penn’s revolutionary movement may
have been an evil example. One of the
most ancient and valuable laws which
the wisdom of their English ancestor
transmitted to the American colonists is
that which forbids the lawful owner of
lauds to oust “with a strong hand a mul
titude of people” the trespasser who,
by loug possession or otherwise, has
clothed himself with a color of right.
This was precisely the condition of the
usurper Kellogg; and it would be im
possible to maintain in any judicial tri
bunal having cognizance in the case that
their act was not an offense. But, as be
fore stated, their offense was against the
laws of Louisiana only. The President
had no right or authority to interfere on
that ground. He is not the Republic's
general custos monim ; nor is he au
thorized to correct by armed force all
violations of good manners occurring
within a particular State.
It is quite certain that if, from any
cause, Kellogg had been prevented from
applying for aid the President would
have* possessed uo legal warrant to jus
tify his interference. Had he gallantly
confronted his opponents and fallen in
the vindication of his cause the Presi
dent might in like manner have been left
without authority. This should suffice to
refute the idea that there is devolved by
the Constitution on the Federal Gov
ernment a duty to intervene for the
suppression of evil examples in con
tempt of State laws.
After the ouster of Kellogg by Penn
the application of the former to the
President presented merely a renewal of
the same precise question which arose
upon the first dispute— i. e., was Kel
logg the duly elected. Governor of
Louisiana ? If he was duly elected it
was the President’s duty to reinstate
him; otherwise not. If General Grant
still labored under his original delusion
on the subject his interference was con
sistent with conscience, and, so far,
morally just. But this would not prove
that he was officially justifiable. A
President cannot wage war against a
lawfally elected State government and
secure an exemption from censure by
simply pleading as a bar to inquiry that
his intentions were pure. Official
duty involves a responsibility for the
correctness of all the officer’s acts. The
censure, if any, due to official interposi
tion against 1 the right, in snch a case as
the present, may depend on a great
variety of circumstances. The degree
of attention given by the officer to the
inquiry in hand, his'apparent motives,
and any difficulty or doubt attending
the question involved, might serve to
inculpate him, extenuate his fault, or
wholly to excuse it. The view taken by
the President on Kellogg’s first applica
tion could furnish no reason for a simi
lar course on the second. However his
original decision might control others,
it was in no degree obligatory upon
himself. Individual consistency, in
official opinion or action, ia not to be
maintained at the expense of rectitude
and justice. The pride of an executive
chief might stimulate him to desire snch
a power. The servility which would
accord it was prevalent in degenerate
Rome when that so called Republic was
tottering to its fall u der the despotism
of the Caesars. We mast hope that it
has not yet become general here. Those
who condemn the President’s original
interference in Kellogg’s favor have even
more reason for condemning his recent
interposition. It is, at least, equally
censurable. Having Lad more time and
opportunity to ascertain facts and to
consider the question, his last act must
be regarded as, if possible, less excusa
ble than the first
The desire that Kellogg may resign
and submit to a fair election is amiable;
but surely no one can seriously entertain a
hope to that effect. There seems, indeed,
some reason to expect that so many
other State officials may resign as to re
duce the personnel of the Kellogg gov
ernment to one solitary person—. e.,
the Governor himself; and it has been
suggested thaf in such an event the
President wonld have no power to sup
ply the necessary corps of officials. He
would, indeed, have no right to supply
them; but, in fact and without right,
they conld be supplied by Kellogg. The
President would then possess the same
constitutional power to recognize by bis
mere sic volo and thus practically to
validate that made-npjgovernmeut which
he has already twice exercised to en
throne the usurper. The only hope I
can perceive for Louisiana is that the
popular will of the country, speaking
through its efficient organ, the inde
pendent press, may prevail upon the
President to reconsider his course. Re
moving the impression that he is without
power to correct his own mistakes is the
first essential step to that desirable end.
I am, dear sir, with great respect, your
obedient servant, Ch. O’Oonor.
THE MOREAU AFFAIR.
It is all about a poisoning—so deli
cately, deftly done that Paris, near
which the crime occurred, has been pro
foundly agitated. The poisoner, Mo
reau, has created a greater sensation in
France than the anniversary of Sedan,
the death of Guizot, or the King of Ba
varia’s visit to the Boulevards. “The
Moreau Affair” has been the chief topic
for weeks in all the newspapers, in the
editorial columns as well as in the po
lice reports. The corridors of the As
sizes hall in Paris, where the examina
tion of the poisoner was held, were
crammed with eager crowds. There was
much excitement and no little consterna
tion in the highest medical circles of
the French capital for a time, for
science seemed for once baffled or in
doubt in the presence of the poisoner’s
art. But let us look at the story.
Moreau, an herbalist, dwelt at Saint-
Denis, the old cathedral town hard by
Paris. One day his wife died very sud
denly; was speedily buried, and Moreau
married again, in what the neighbors
thought rather indecent haste. No
physician succeeded iu defining the na
ture of the malady from which the her
balist’s wife died. Some persons who
had attended the sick woman mysteri
ously reported that the disease was ter
rible, and its causes should be looked
into; but there was no post mortem ex
amination. Ten months after the first
wife’s demise the second wife was taken
ill, and lived but a short time. Before
her death, however, she gave voice to
the suspicion that her husband was
poisoning her. But tho attendant physi
cians failed to discover any trace of
poison, and it was not until a month af
ter the second wife’s death that the
herbalist was arrested, and the bodies
of the two women, which had been
buried in Saint-Denis Cemetery, were
exhumed and submitted to a careful ex
amination.
Both bodies were in a remarkable
state of preservation, and this fact en
couraged the skillful physicians who
had undertaken the autopsy to believe
that the women had been poisoned with
sulphate of copper, since experiments
proved that animals poisoned with that
substance did not decay in tho earth.
Grains of the sulphate were found in the
livers and stomachs of both victims.
But they were found only after a careful
series of elaborate experiments made by
men eminent in medical science. Many
times the examiners were convinced that
they had been mistaken, but they perse
vered. They discovered that there was
copper in. the livers of the two victims
by burning those organs. Bluish traces
in the calcined remains betrayed the
presence of the looked-for metal. The
doctors next set themselves to determine
whether or not the copper found was
sufficient in quantity to have produced
deqth. To this end they examined four
teen other bodies, and in each discover
ed the metal, but in such infinitesimal
quantities that it was evidently a normal
component. They, therefore, decided
that the two wives had been poisoned,
and that the poison had been adminis
tered by Moreau, since it was proved
that he alone had given them the medi
cines prescribed during fatal illness.
The physicians then went into Court
to testify. But there they were con
fronted with the defense that the soil of
Saint-Denis Cemetery is saturated with
copper, and that the metal found in the
bodies of the victims was infiltrated
from the surrounding earth. This the
doctors disproved, as they had not even
found the caskets enclosing the bodies
at all decayed. Then the defense
brought forward a copper sauce pan,
claiming that Moreau might have un
wittingly destroyed his wives by prepar
ing their food and drink in that during
their sickness. It was also shown that
Moreau was not known to have ever
purchased sulphate of copper, or to
have had any in his possession. But
the jury convicted him on the evidence
of the physicians, and the Court sen
tenced him to death. The temptation
to the crimes, of which he protests that
he is innocent, seems to have been the
gaining of a small fortune which his
second wife possessed.
The moral of “The Moreau Affair,”
according to the Paris editors- who
thoroughly believe the sentence of death
j uß t—is that a physician may very readi
ly be deoeived as to the nature of the
malady confided to his care, and that it
is his duty to pay the strictest attention
to the patient’s description of his own
symptoms, and none whatever to the
theories of the well people who surround
the sick one. They reprehend, in strong
terms, the negligence or want of knowl
edge of the physicians who attended
Moreau’s two wives; and point to the
fact that had it not been for almost in
credible skill and exertion on the part
of leading Paris medical men, the poison
ing would have been unaveuged. But
the doctors who are criticised assert that
they were unusually exacting in their
examinations of the maladies which de
stroyed the women, and that there was
no trace of poison. To the labors of
the well known Dr. Bergeron, and those
who assisted him in bringing the wife
poisoner to justice, the world will be
truly grateful. For never was a poison
ing proved under greater difficulties.
Had Moreau lived in the sixteenth cen
tnry he might have numbered his vic
tims by the score, and there would have
been little danger of detection. But the
medical science of to-day can force to
the scaffold the subtlest criminal that
ever handled poison.
The Herald publishes a series of clever
articles on theEnropean watering places.
One writer analyzes tbe flirtation at
Vichy: “Here is the gentleman who is
obliged to foot it in list slippers quoting
poetry to tho lady whose malady con
strains her to a constant use of the iron
spring de Mesdames, and there is the
youth with an affection of the heart
making love to the young lady with an
affection of tho liver. In the park you
see the monsieur whose blood has be
oome impoverished with two much albu
men holding a sentimental conversation
with the demoiselle whose illness arises
from a vicious assimilation of sugar.
The party with engorged viscera cannot
be happy without the presence of the
friend with shattered digestion, and M.
Pavilion, who suffers from articular
rheumatism, is miserable unless he has
the company of “mon ami Piffard,” who
is almost desperate with coliquc hepa
tique. Let us be thankful that things
are so arranged in this world that affec
tion, not less than prosperity, draws peo
ple together. If fate locates me at Vichy
it is pleasant to know that people from
all the nations of the earth are there too;
that a gentleman crimsoned by the tor
rid sun of Sumatra is on my right; that
a beautiful leader of fashion, sickly with
pales couleurs, is on my left; that a Rus
sian princess sits opposite, and that con
valescent South Americans, Spaniards,
Canadians and Americans are scattered
miscellaneously around. It would be
an excellent idea to pass around a poly
glot edition of Pope’s ‘Universal Prayer’
for grace at meal time.”
The decree of a drunken Federal Judge
placed Kellogg in the Gubernatorial
chair of Louisiana; the stolen taxes of
the people of that State transferred from
Kellogg’s carpet-bag to the wallets of
Radical Congressmen prevented McEne
ry, the lawfully elected Governor, from
obtaining the office to which he was
fairly chosen, and now the corrupt mo
tive of a President who desires a third
term sends the troops of the United
States at the expense of the whole peo
ple of Louisiana to renew and perpetu
ate the wickedest fraud that ever stained
the annals of Republican government.
The rottenness of the Radical rale of
Louisiana is so rank that it smells to

HAVE YOU TRIED '!
JURUBEBA?
•#
ABB YOB
Weak, Nervous, or Debilitated?
Are you so Languid that auy exertion requires
more of au effort than you feel capable of making ?
Then try JURUBEBA, the wonderful Tonic and
Invigorator, which acts so beneficially on the secre
tive organs as to impart vigor to all the vital forces.
It is no alcoholic appetizer, which stimulate for a
short time, only to let the sufferer fall to a lower
depth of misery, but it is a vegetable tonic acting
directly on the liver and spleen.
It regulates the bowels, quiets the nerves and
gives such a healthy tone to the whole system as to
soon make tlie invalid feel like anew person.
Its operation is not violent, but is characterized
by great gentleness; the patient experiences no sud
den change, no marked results, but gradually his
troubles
“Fold their tents, like the Arabs,
And silently steal away.”
This is no new and untried discovery, but has
been long used with wonderful remedial results, and
is pronounced by the highest medical authorities,
“the most powerful tonic aud alterative known.”
Ask your druggist for it. For sale by

our Ordinary in regard to the bridge across
the Enchee creek, on the Washington Road.
We find that a portion of tho Fnry's Ferry
Road has not been worked, and that it is in a
very bad condition.
We also find that a porti n of the Wrights
boro Road, in the neighborhood of Mr. Frank
H. Powell, needs attention, and we call the at
tention of the proper authorities to tho afore
said mentioned portions of roads, especially
the b idge across Little Kiokee creek.
We find the books of the Clerk of the Supe
rior Court and of the Ordinary neatly and cor
rectly kept, reflecting much credit upon these
officers.
We also find that the Jail is in a very bad
condition generally; siill in want of an outside
door. We call the attention of the proper au
thorities to the same.
We also recommend that the school fund for
the present year be applied to the payment of
teachers emploved for the present year.
We also find' that the Court House needs
some repairs in the way of blinds and lights.
We recommend that they be repaired as soon
as possible.
We also recommend that the following named
gentlemen, Richard S. Neal. Luculius D. "Wal
ton. and Frank H. Powell, or a majority of
them, be appointed a committee, and author
ized to appoint a clerk to examine the receipts

ficers. to-wit : Ordinary, Treasurer and Tax
Collector; and also recommend that the sa:d

Wo refer the tar digest question to the com
mittee appointed by our body to examine the

THE HOME SHUTTLE.
THE public is positively assured that this
popular, cheap and greatly improved
Family Sewing Machine is fully equal to any
m use for all domestic and light manufactur
ing purposes, nor is it inferior to any (as may
be inferred by some minds) on account of its
low price. It makes precisely the same stitch
as the expensive Machines, and does every
variety of work done by any in market, or no
sale, and is warranted for five yeais to every
purchaser. Buy it, and evade the enormous
commission paid to canvassers for selling the
high price Machines which alone will more
than pay for the HOME SHUTTLE out and
and out. Call and examine, and try it before
buying any other make, and bo convinced that
it is "a good article at a reasonable price.”
Sold for cash, or on installments. Cash

FINDLAY’S IMPROVED POWKR PRESS,
FOR STEAM OR WATER POWER.
FINDLAY’S IMPROVED POWER PRES3. for steam or water power, possesses rare advan
tages and conveniences. Screw Pin is ten feet long; Gearing heavy and strong, and instead of
the doubtful and dangerous ‘-clutch” arrangement, tight and loose pulleys with “shipper” are
used, thus insuring Safety, Certainly, aud Promptness of Action. This Press will be supplied
with our new patent Conical Rollers, a most valuable improvement, for the purpose of receiving
the “eml thrust.” and very materially lessoning friction. This Press was also Trlum
pliant at Last State Fair.

In addition to our regular “Eclipse” Press, we offer this season (guaranteed as above) a strictl
“HAND ECLIPSE PRESS,”
With horizontal levers, for-working insiite of gin house. Will bo from three to four times aa

up. Wo adviso parties not to order until they Bee this “new movement,” and hear our guaran
tee, etc.
