turned on him, dealing him two very violent blows
on the head with a stick, and completed the murder

died almost without a struggle. A number of gen

editress of the Ladies’ Repository, says:
Kisses, like laces of philosophers, vary. Some are
as hot as a coal of fire—some mild as milk —some
tasteless as long drawn soda. Stolen kisses are said
y ,
to have more nutmeg and cream than any other
sort. As to proposed kisses they are not liked at
all. A stolen kiss is the most agreeable. We have
been kissed a few times, and as we are not very old,
wo hope to receive many more. An exchange im
pertinently inquires, “at what hour may the lady be
(found in her office?”
London extends over a surface of one hun
dred and twenty-two square miles, and the number
of inhabitants vs over two millions three hundred
thousand. A conception of this vast mass of peo
ple maybe formed from the fact, that if the metropo
lis were surrounded by a wall having gates north,
south, east and west, and each of the four gates
wide enough to allow a column of persons to pass
out freely, four abreast, and a peremptory necessity
required the immediate evacuation of the city it could
not be accomplished in less than twenty-four hours,
at the end of which time the head of each of the
four columns would have advanced at no less dis
tance than seventy-five miles from their respective
gate-, all the people being in close file, four deep!

recently, while suffering from neuralgia in her face, !
in her agony threw herself upon her bed and at- i
tempted bv the use of ether to alleviate her suffer

gentleman ordered a rocking chair, which
itffcs received by his wife, a lady very precise in her
speech, when sent to her residence. Upon making
trial of the chair, the gentleman expressed his great
s.uisfation with it, when his wife remarked, “The
man said ila equilibrium was accurately adjusted.”
“Did he really say that —tho.se very words?” in
quired the husband. “Why, no, not exactly,” re
plied the iady; “he said it goggled jml right,'”
ISTT-t is said when a lady enters a fashionable
mourning store, in London, she is asked whether
sho wishes mouruing for “dwp grief” or mitigated
affliction.
This reminds us of a conversation we once beard
in a store of the kind in New York. A Servant step
ped in hurriedly and asked: “Are the bonnets rea
dy? “Not yet; is the gentleman dead?” “No,
but he can i possibly live three hours.” “Very
well, the bonnets shall he ready in time, I’ll send
them up this evening.”
The servant-having retired, we innocently inquired,
if the people in New York got their mourning for
friends before they were dead? 4i O yes; the man
can t possibly live,'and they want to have their bon
nets ready for the funeral.”— Chan. Mer.

GREENE SUPERIOR COURT.
MARCH TERM, 1856.
The Grand Jurors, chosen, selected and sworn for
the county of Greene, at the present Term of the
Court, beg leave to make the following presentments :
We have examined, through appropriate commit
tees, the Court House, Jail, Books of the Clerk of the
Superior and Inferior Courts, Books of the Ordinary,
Treasurer's Book, Roads, Bridges, &c.
We find the Court House and Jail in good condi
tion, except the fire-place in the Grand Jury room*
which we recommend to the In ferior Court, and hope
they will have the same altered so as to prevent its
smoking. The Jail is not as cleanly kept as desira
ble.
The records of the Superior and Inferior Courts,
Ordinary and Treasurer, are neatly kept; the writing
plain and legible, reflecting much credit upon the
Officers in charge.
Wo find outstanding debts against the County to
the amount of five hundred and twenty-one dollars
and fifty cents, to meet which there is only four hun
dred and thirteen dollars and fifteen cents in cash
on hand, and a balance due by the Tax Collector of
one hundred andseventy-fire dollars, which amounts
are insufficient to meet the debta’and past dues.
We have examined the insolvent Tax list furnish
ed us by the Tax Collector, und recommend that he
be allowed the sum of twenty-eight dollars and nine
ty-eight cents on account of insolvent tax payers.
We find that John G. Holtzclaw, Guardian for J.
H. and J. W. Whitlaw, was overcharged by error of
the Receiver of Tax Returns, $7.29, which amount
we recommend he refunded to the said G uardian
j from the several funds of the county, to-wit: from
j the State fund, $3.66 ; County fund, $2.19; Poor
School fund, $1.44.
We again call the attention of the proper author
ities to tho great necessity of building a bridge over
Richland croek on the road from Greenesboro to Pen
field. The Inferior Court have heretofore appointed
Commissioners, but they have, from some cause un
known to this body, failed to discharge their duty.—
We do earnestly hope that other Commissioners be
appointed with full power to act in the premises.
Wc recommend that a Tax of 20 per cent, bo lev
ied upon the State Tax for the puapo.se of educating
tho poor children of the county, and a tax of 40 per
ceut. on the State Tax for County purposes. We al
so recommend that the insolvent cost due the Clerk
of the Superior and Inferior Courts, and Sheriffs,
arising from suits in which the County was an inter
ested party, be paid out of the County funds, provi
ded said cost accounts be authorized by the Judges
of the several Courts of the county.
We recommend that tho hill on the road from
John 11. Broughton’s Shop to Beaverdam church, be
placed in good condition, as it is now hazardous for
carriages or wagons to pass over; to have the same
well repaired or moved on better ground.
We recommend that the road from Town Creek by
Mrs. Daniel’s to Poullain’s Bridge, be opened, as in
formation has been lodged with this body, that part
of the same has been enclosed.
The road from Mrs. Daniel’s to Penfleld needs the
attention of tho proper authorities, as the bill atFish
ingCreek on road is almost impassable.
We recommend that the Inferior Court have a good
well, dug upon the Court House Square, convenient
to the Court House.
We cannot take leave of bis Honor, Judge Harde
man without returning fiim our thanks for his uni
form politeness and kind attention to our body, do
tmg #ie prwfcbt Term of the O&urt, and wishing
him all the success in life, to which his urbanity.of
manners and great legal attainments entitle him.
To fhc Solicitor General also, we tender out thanks
for his polite attention to this body.

TSl’ AVE H T
CATHARTIC
OPERATE by their po we rial influence on the internal vis
cera, to purify the blood and stimulate it into healthy ac
tion. They remove the obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver,
and other organs of the body, and, by restoring their irregular ac
tion to health, correct, wherever they exist, such derangements
as are the first causes of diseace. An extensive trial of their vir
tues, by Professors, Physicians, and Patients, has shown cures of
dangerous diseases almost beyond belief, were they not substanti
ated by persons of such exalted position and character as to forbid
the suspicion of untruth. Their certificates are published in my
American Almanac, which the Agents below named are pleased to
furnish free to all inquiring. /
Annexed we give directions for their use in the complaints
which they have been found to cure.
For Costivexess.—Take one or two Pills, or such quantity as to
gently move the bowels. CosUrenes, is frequently the aggrava
ting cause of Piles, and the cure of one complaint is the cure of
both. No person can feel well while under a costive habit ofbody.
Hence it should be, as it can be, promptly relieved.
For PvsfKPSLi, which is sometimes the cause of Goetiveness, and
always uncomfortable, take mild doses—from one to four-—to stim
ulate the stomach and liver into healthy action. They will do it,
and the heartl/ui'n, body burn and soulburn of dyspepsia will rap
idly disappear. When it has gone, don’t forget what cured you.
Fora Foul Stomach, or Morbid Inaction, of the Boice7*, which
yroduces general depression of the spirits and bad health, take
from four to eight Pills at first, and smaller doses afterwards, un
til aztivity and strength is restored to the system.
For Nervocsxess, Mick Hiudachr, Nausea, Fain in the Stem
deb, Bad', or Side, take from four to eight pills on going to bed.
If they do not operate sufficiently, take more the next day until
they do. These complaints will be swept out from the system.—
Don't wear these and their kindred disorders because your stom
ach is foul.
For ScrofclA, Ekvsipelas, and all diseases of the Sinn, take
the Tills freely and frequently, to keep the bowels open. The erup
tions will generally soon begin to diminish and disappear. Many
dreadful ulcers and sores have been healed up by the purging and
purifying effect of these Pills, and some disgusting diseases Which
seemed to saturate the whole system have completely yielded to
their influence, leaving the sufferer in perfect health. Patients !
your duty to society forbids that you should parade yourself
around the world covered with pimples,blotches, ulcers, sores, and
all or any of the unclean diseases of the skin, because your system
wants cleansing.
To PufflW thr Bf/>on, they are the best medicine ever discover
ed. They should be taken freely and frequently, and the impuri
ties which sow the seeds of incurable diseases will be swept out of
the system like chaffbefore the wind. By this property they do as
much good in prexenting sickness a by the remarkable cures
which they are making every where.
Liver Complaist, Jauxwcb, and ull Billot* Affections arise
from Home derangement—cither torpidity, congestion, or obstruc
tions of the Liver. Torpidity and congestion vitiate the bile and
render it unfit for digestion. This is disastrous to the health, and
the constitution is frequently uudermined by no other cause. In
digestion is the symptom. Obstruction of the duet which empties
the bile into the stomach causes the bile to overflow into the blood.
This produces Jaundice, with a long and dangerous train of evils.
Costiveness, or alternately costiveuess and dlarrhcea, prevails.—
Feverish gymptons, languor, low spirits, weariness, restlessness,
and melancholy, with sometimes inability to sleep, and sometimes
great drowsiness; sometimes there is severe pain .in the side; the
skin and the white of the eyes become a greenish yellow; the stom
ach acid; the bowels sore to the touch; the whole system irritable,
with a teudency to fever, which may turn to bilious fever, bilious
colic, bilious diarrhoea, dysentery, Sic. A medium dose of three or
four Pills taken at night, followed by two or three in the morning,
aud repeated a few days, will remove the cause of all these trou
bles. It Is wicked to suffer such pain* when you can cure them for
25 cents.
Rheumatism, Gout, and all Inflammatory Fevers are rapidly
cured by the purifying effects of these Pills upon the blood and the
stimulus which they afford to the vital prinoiple of life. For these
and all kindred complaints they should be taken in mild dotes, to
move the bowels gently, but free y.
Asa Dinner Pill, this is both agreeable and useful. No Pill can
be made more pleasant to take, and certainly none has been made
more effectual to the purpose for which a dinner pill is employed.

Beautiful Assortment of Valentines!
I HAVE just received from New York, Balti
more, and Philadelphia, the most extensive as
sortment of Valentines ever offered in this place, and
every thing connected with them, such as Writers,
Verses, Envelopes, Lace Paper, Ac., aud am prepar
ed to fill orders, Wholesale or Retail, at prices from
five cents to twenty dollars.
J have invoked Venus, the goddess of beauty and
love, and her darling Cupid, and they have gracious
ly chosen for their retreats the Madison Book Store,
and have commissioned their friend, Benjamin G.
Liddon, as high priest of love, courtship and marri
mony.
“The world is full of poetry—the air
Is living with its spirit; and the waves
Dance to the music of its melodies
And sparkle in its brightness.”
This spirit of poetry arouses our loftier train of af
fections, which are borne upon the gilded wings of
Cupid’s messenger, in the form of a Vale tine, to some
fair friend breathing the pure sentiments of friend
ship, esteem, and all the kindlier regards for those to
whom we donate. It may, perchance, be received
with silent approval, told only by the fair face,
“Where eloquent blushes burn and fade,
Rich with the wealth of warm emotion;
Or starry dimples mock the shade,
Like jewels in a restless ocean.”
Valentines are the ambassadors of thought, where
language fails. They substitute, in glowing eloquence,
the reading of the heart, by their symbolic meaning.
Faithful to my trust, as a se rant of the public I
am doing all in my power to further the interests of
those youths and maidens who are suffering from an
affection of the heart To all, of every age, and of
every rank in life, I offer a specific that has never
failed. Such is the wonderful power of tbe Valen
tines sold by me, as a philanthropist and conservator
of the tender passions, that none make love without
sending one as a pioneer. BENJ. G. LIDDON.

A GOOD SPECULATION!
1 OFFER FOR SALE, thj valuable TRACT
of LAND, lying on Beaver-dam Creek, in Han
cock county, readily recognized as having recently
belonged to R. Burnley, Esq. It contains 1050 acres,
more or less, about 150 cleared, the rest in the woods,
and I hazzard nothing in saying, that some of this
land is as good as any to be found in the county.—
There are about 200 acres oak and hickory land, well
adapted to the growth of corn and cotton.
But to any one wishing to engage in the Lumber
business, thisplace offers rare inducements. There
is a good SA W MILL, with excellent water privileges
on the premises, and by a small outlay in fixing up
the dam, any one of industry may soon realize the
amount paid for the place. There are also, two sets
of Mill Stones, which is an inducement to any one
wishing to erect a Grist Mill. A good framed House
with several Negro Cabins stand near by, for the ac
commodation of a miller and hands.
The market for lumber is good. The mill is two
miles from Powelton, ten from Sparta, and six from
Mayfiold. Public roads pass by the the mill to each
of these places, which bring them in direct commu
nication. The route surveyed for the Rail Road from
W&rrenion and Milledgeville is but a short distance
from the line of the land, and if it is built, will make
the tract almost invaluable. I wish to sell the whole
in a body, but if desired, will sell in parcels to suit
purchasers. Several elligible building sites, with
good Springs, make a division quite practicable.
As I am too far removed to make these lands avail
able, mv residonce being in the Southern portion of
the Slate, I am determined to sell, and I promise any
one in want of such a place, that by applying to me
early, at Perry, Ga., they shall have a bargain, eith
er for their own use or for speculation.
W. B. SEALS,
Perry, Ga., Dec. 28,1855.
Notice to Trespassers.
IWARN any one against encroachments of any
kind upon my land, in Hancock county, as des
cribed above. The law will be applied in every in
stance that comes to mv knowledge.
