The scheme for telegraphing without
wires, by means of aerial currents of
electricity, has been revived by Profes
sor Loomis. He has met with success
in u*ing kites for this purpose, a copper
wire being substituted for the
usual kite string. Signals were
transmitted thus between kites ten miles
apart. 11 is new experiments are .made
in the mountainous regions of West
Virginia, between lofty peaks. Cun*
tinuous aerial currents are found at these
al.itudav, which will serve the purposes
of the telegraph, except when rarely in
terrupt-d by violent disturbances of the
atmosphere. A sc> erne is now on foot

Experience ot Two Kentuckians
in Mexico.
Galveston , Texas, December 6.—Two
Kentuckians,Picket and Lolland, arriv
ed in Galveston to-day, from Monterey,
Mexico, where they were engaged in
photography. They were compelled to
leave, owing to the intense feeling
against Americans. Passing through the
•Siena Madre mountains they were at
tacked by ten Mexicans, under com,-
mand of Pedro Oirnes, and robbed.
Holland was shot in the right hand. Be
fore reaching the Rio Grande at Ranch
Gertrudes, they met a band of fiftyjrob
bers, who ordered them to leave jlexi
to at once. They were commanded bv
a young Englishman, who claim*-

C immand of Cortina, who was alreud”
at liber y and recruiting for the 00m

the river at Ranch Loa and
traveled thence to Victory where thev

Kcw States.
There are plenty of new States and
territories in prospect. Utah wants to
get in as the Stale of Deseret, and New
Mexico is equally anxioui to join the
Union under some Mexican-Indian
name. It is also proposed to divide
Dakotah into three new territories
The eastern part is to be rechristened
as either Huron or Pembina. The act
creating this territory has already pass*
el the Senate Committee, and will un
doubtedly be favorably reported and
adopted by Congress in a few days In
the western part of Dakotah the Black
Hills folk3 think that they have arrived
at a degree of importance that entitles
them to recognition a* citizens of the
new territory of Lincoln. It is possi
ble that they may succeed in having a
new territory created, but not under
this name proposed. Congress decided
some time since that no territory should
receive the name of any American cit
izen, however illustrious he may have
been, holding that sueh a system was
confusing, illogical, a.id based on no
proper idea of nomenclature. The peo
pie of Colorado were anxious to inter
the Un : on under the illustrious title of
the State of Jefferson, but this name
was actually refused by Congress, and
the Coloradians requested to find some
bettei title for the new State.
Tbs advocates of the Territory of Ok
lahama, to be formed out of a part of
the Indian Territory, are also advoca
ting this measure before Congress.

A dispatch from Stanford Ky., savs :
Great excitement was created here by a
report that several menwho bad been ar--
rested at Crab Orchard, in this county,
on a ehargefof burglary,had taken pos
session of that place and were defying
the liw and the officers in charge of
them. A tolegiam from that place
called for aid, and the Sheriff, with
twenty-five well armed men went there
last night to give relief. The parties
arrested are George Saunders and Bob
James. They are charged with open
ing the store of John Buchanan there
on Saturday night last and hauling off
about a thousand dollais’worth of goods
consisting of whole hogs just slaug!-.ter r
ed, a sack of coffee, wheat, clover seed,
boots, shoes, a barrel of brandy, ‘etc
These things were found in corn shocks
on the farm of Saunders. The trial
has been set for to'morrow, but it may
not be held for several days. A reign
of terror seems to prevail at Crab Or
chard at this time, but good citizenslare
determined to put a stop to all such
lawlessness. Saunders is a brother of
Walter Saunders, who was killed at
Richmond, Ky., recently James, the
other prisoner is a son Rev.JohnJames,
a respected Baptist minister ef this
county. Two negroes have been arrest
ed as partners in guilt.

There are two large Mennonite settle
ments in the province of Manitoba. One
of these is known as the Rat River Re
servation, comprising a tract of eight
townships, which coutain an aggregat r
of about 174,000 acres. Within
this reserve are thirty two villages,
with a population of nearly 4,000. The
tract lies east ot the Red river, and be
gins about twenty-two miles southeast
of Wiouipeg. The other reservation
lies west of the Red river,and is known
ae the Dufferin Reserve. L adjoins
the boundary line between the Manito
ba and the Territory of Dakota, and ex
tends eastward to within a short dis
tance of the river. It consists of sev
enteen townships, containing over 270,-
000 acres eighteen villages, and about
2,000 inhabitants. In addition to these
two settlements, a few Mennonites have
settled on the Scratching river, a few
miles south of Winnipeg. The popula
tion of the last namcdfsettlement is about

MR A1 BERT GROOKER, tne well-known

Read His Statement;
Springvale, Mjs., Oct., 12, 1876.
Mr, 11. R. Srr.vENs :

was taken sick with rheumatism, was una

(here would le weeks at a time
that I could not step one step ; these at
tacks were quite often. I suffered every
thing that a man could. Over three years
ago last spring I commenced taking VEG
ETINE and followed it up until I had taken
seven bottles; have had no rheumatism
since that time. I always advise everyone
that is troubled ' ith rheumatism to try
Vf getine, and not suffer for years as I have
done. This statement is gratuitous as far
as Mr. Stevens is concerneu. Yours, etc.,

VEGETINE
HAS ENTIRELY CURED ME.
Boston, Oct., 1870.
Mr. H. R. Stevens
Dear Sir: My daughter, after having a
severe attack of Whooping Cough, was left
in a feeble state of health. Being advised
by a friend she tried the Vegetine, and af
ter using a few bottles was fully restored
te health.
I hive been a great sufferer from Rheu
matism. I nave taken several bottles of
the Vegetine for this complaint, and am
happy to say it tas entirely cured me. I
have recommended the Vegetine to others
with the same good results. It is a great
cleanser and purifier of the bl* od ; it is
oleasant to take and I can cheerfully tec*
ommend it.
JAMES MORSE, 364 Athens street.
RHEUMATISM is a DISEASE of the Blood.
The blood in this disease is found to con
tain an excess of fibrin. Vegetine acts by
converting the blood from its diseased con
dition to a health circulation. Vegetine
regulates the bowels which is very impor
tant in this complaint. One bottle of Veg
etine will give relief, but to effect a perma
nent cure it must be taken regularly, and
may take several bottles, especially in cases
of long -landing. Vegetine is sold by all
Iruggists. Try it, and your verdict will
be the same as that of thousands before
you, who say, “I never found so much re
lief as from the use of Vegetine,” which is
compose! exclusively of BarJcs, Roots and
Herbs.
egetine,” says a Boston physician,
“has no equal as a blood purifier. Hearing
of its many wonderful cures, after all other
remedies had failed, I visited the laborato
ry and con.inced myself of its genuine
merit. It is prepared from barks, roots
and herbs, each of which is highly effect
ive, and they are compounded in such a
manner as to produce astonishing results.”
VEGETINE.
NOTHING EQUAL TO IT.
South Salem, Mass., Nov. 14, 1876.
Mr. H. R. Steaens:,—
Dear Sir ; I have been troubled with
Scrofula, Cancer and Liver Complaint for
three years ; nothing ever did me any good
until I commenced using the Vegetine. I
am now getting along first-ra.*'\ and still
using the Vegetine. I consider there is
nothing equal tc it for such complaints.
Can heartily recoaimend it to everybody.
Yours truly.
