P. M. Jennings, late proprietor of the United States
Hotel, Augusta, died in that city lately. Many years
ago, he was the landlord of the Globe Hotel, and has
long been known to our citizen* as an honorable

iiioefles from the recurrence of a ■violent disease, io
which he had been subject for many years.
A little son of W. P. Mbsely, of Augusta, was
struck by lightning a few days since, and instantly
killed. The child was about six years old, and was
playing with a light rope, attached to a small tree,
when the accident occurred. Mr. Mosely was some
short distance ofT, and was severely stunned, and
others near by were also sensibly shocked.

Rev. Jackson Oliver and W. J. Parks, were appoin
ted Delegates to attend the Temperance Convention,
to be held in Atlanta in July.
Before the adjournment of the meeting, the fol
lowing resolutions were read, and on motion, unani
mously adopted,
Resolved, That the friends of Temperance in Geor
gia should, and as we believe do regard the efforts of
B. H. Overby, Esq., made in canvassing the State
last, and in making speeches in favor of Prohibition
and Temperance, as truly Patriotic; and that the
friends of the temperance cause are, under lasting
obligations to him for the service rendered.
Resolved, That this meeting express it as their
opinion, that the number of votes cast for the Prohi
bition candidate were no true index of the estimate
placed either on our cause or its advocate, but was
solely the result of the efforts of political parties,
who made other issues.
Resolved, That we are proud b> know that our
Prohibition candidate and the cause he advocated
were, and are, unanswered and unanswerable by any
opponent, and that although our candidate was not
elected to the office to which we sought to promote
him, yet bo and the cause he advocated were tri
umphant.
Ordered, that tivj above resolutions be forwarded
by (he Secretary of this meeting to the editors of the
Temperance Crusader for publication, and that a
copy of them be sent li. H. Overby, Esq.

A Counterfeiter Swallowing the Evidence •
Against Him,
The Buffalo Republic gives the following account
of the transactions oi a counterfeiter in that city
one day last week :—“The individual had passed a
counterfeit bill upon Mr. Flint, the treasurer of the
theatre, who procured his arrest, and conveyed hhn
to the box office to be searched. As he entered the
office he put his hand in his pocket and took some
thing therefrom—supposed to be a roll of bills—
which he quickly thrust through the ticket window
to a person on the outside—probably a confederate.
That person fled, and although the officers pursued
him, they were unable to capture him. About this
time, the fellow observed the bill that he had passed
upon Mr. Flint lying °n the counter, and with a ra
pidity and ease that astonished all who saw him,
seized and swallowed it. He was then searched, but
no counterfeit money wqg found him. A handsome
sum pf gooff money and a valuable gold watch were
found and retained by the officers. He was locked
up for the night, and taken to Rochester nest morn
ing—he, with his confederate, having escaped from
the officers there.’,

Fur this, to us. is common loss!
Died, in Green county, on Sunday night the 6th

86th year of his age. m. k. and.
Died, at her residence in Jasper county, on the
28th of June, Mrs. Thames, wife of Noah
‘1 hames, in her 27th year. She embraced religion
and joined the M. E. Church South in 1866, at Lod
alar Camp Ground, and remained a consistent and
worthy member of said church until 1850, and then
attached herself to the Baptist, to be with her hus
band, who was a Baptist. She was amiable and af
fectionate, and the religion she professed and enjoy
ed, evinced to all that she was a child of God. She
was deeply impressed that she would die, from the
time that she was taken ill, and so expressed herself
on several occasions, whilst at the same time the
Physician flattered himself that she would soon be
restored to health and her distressed relations, but
God had decreed otherwise, A few days before her
death ahe became very happy, and shouted the
praise of God, giving glory to God and tho Lamb, m
the highest strains of praise for the unspeakable
riches of his love, and exhorting her weeping hug-
band and relations to meet her in heaven, ‘-he re
mained in great peace while her spirit took its flight
to its eternal reward. JNO. W. BUTT.

Celebrated Vermifuge and Liter Pills.

as the following will show:
Nkw Yohk, November 20, ‘852.
Knowing from experience, the valuable qualities
oi Dr. HP Lane's Vermifuge and Liver Pills, prepar
ed by Fleming Bros., Pittsburgh, I have for some
time back considered it my duty, and made it rny
business, to make those articles known wherever I
went among my friends. A short timo ago I became
acquainted with the case of a young girl, who Penn
ed to be troubled with worms and liver complaint at
the same time, and had been suffering for some two
months. Through my persuasion she purchased
one bottle of Dr. M'Lane’s % ermifuge, and one box
of Liver Pills, which she took according to directions.
Tbo result was, she passed a large quantity of worms,
thinks that one box more of the Pills will restore j
hci’ to perfect health. Her name and residence can j
‘be learned by calling on E. L. Theali, Druggist, cor
ner of Rutger and Monroe streets. j
!£lF'Purchasers will be careful 10 ask for Dr. M’- j
Lane’s Celebrated Vermifuge, manufactured by |
Fleming Bros, of Pittsburg, Pa. All other Vermi- !
fuge in comparison are worthless. Dr. M’Lane’s
genuine Vermifuge, also Ms celebrated Liver Pills,
can now oe had at all tho respectable drug scores.

Another Remarkable Care of Dyspepsia.
Boston, July 3, 1851.
Gentlemen. —Agreeable so your suggestion, it
gives me pleasure to state, that, some five weeks ago
I purchased two bottles of your Oxygenated Bitters,
and commenced using the same according to direc
tions, and experienced the happiest effects.
I had been troubled with dyspepsia about three
years. During the warm season, and at times, was
obliged to give up all business; and although 1 had
the advice of many good physicians, I was confined
for six weeks to the house, and continued to grow
worse, until I took your medicine; I am now almost
cured of every disagreeable symptom, and able to do
business as usual.
The whole credit of my restoration to health, is
due to the Oxygenated Bitters. Your obedient ser
vant. ABNER SMITH.

Margui, both Karens and Burmans had found out
the value of your Pain Killer, and I could readily
have disposed of a large quantity of it among them.
It seems particularly efficacious in cholera morbus,
bowel complaints, and other diseases to which the
natives of Rurraah, from their unwholesome style of
living, are peculiarly exposed. It is a valuable anti
dote to the poison of Centipedes, Scorgions, Hornets,
and the like. I have been twice stung by Scorpions,
and in both cases eased the most excruciating pain
entirely prevented the swelling by applying the Pain
Killer. On our voyage homeward from India, the
Captain of the ship was taken with vomiting and
purging ana other symptoms of cholera. I gave him
a good dose of Pain Killer with the most immediate
and happy results. So entire and speedy was the
relief, that he assured me he would never again go
a voyage without vonr excellent medicine, if he could
possibly procure it. Respectfully yours,

Hr. Herron having long received a liberal pat
ronage from his numerous friends throughout this
community, together, with various calls from a dis
tance, begs leave to tender his thanks to all whom
it may concern; wishing them to remember that he
continues at his old stand, near Penfield.
Having associated with him D. H. Herron, in the
practice of Medicine, in its various branches, is now
more fully prepared to attend to chronic cases at a
distance, upon the same liberal terms that he has
done for several years, namely : any person who be
ing afflicted with any form of disease, that will write
out their symptoms, and inclose therewith five dol
lars, and send the same to our address, wiH receive in
return, medicine and directions to suit their case, for
one month. Many persons have been treated and
cured upon this plan, with a great saving to the af
flicted; some of them living from 50 to over 100
miles, numbers of whom wc have never seen, while
we have had the consolation of meeting others after
their convalescence.
The undersigned, has been closely engaged in the ‘
practice for more than 20, years, adhering strictly to i
the use of sanative remedies which arc used in the
Reformed Practice; having had much experience in
the. treatment of female diseases peculiar to this cli
