HAMPSHIRE County, Set:

Samuel 0. Hendron, made oath ac-
cording TO law, before me justice &c.
that he was born 10 Shenandoah coun-

the borders OF it, except two years till
January, 1889, and is now about II
years Of age. He knsw BLAcxLKy
MARTIN well from his boyhood, till

the character of an honest man.
Affiant well recollects the charge OF
steaing Corn preferred against Mar.
tin byJAMEs KAHN, the result Of which
was the honorable acquittal of Martin
by the justices before whom he ap-
peared on the warrant of arrest. The
prosecution did not at all injure Mar.
tins character. The opinion Of the
community was that Kain had been
guilty Of perjury, and many thought
and since sa.d, that Kahn himself had
stolen the corn, which he charged
Martin with having stolen. Affiant
knew Kahn and his character well un-
I'll Kain left that pert of the county
about four years ago-time not ex-
actIy recollected. Kain is a man Of
the most Infamous character, he has
been repeatedly prosecuted for char.
ges of stealing, &c. Warrants have
been repeatedly issued for his appre-
hension on all which occasions be
absconded-changed his residence and
eluded the prosecution. Atlantis we'll
satisfied that Kain would not be believ.
ed on oath where he is known, and
has heard, that Col. Carson swore in
court, at Woodstock, that he would moi
believe Kahn on oath. 1t is only a
few weeks since that Af1iant being in
Frederick was told, by a magistrate Of
that county, that Kahn who now resides
near Middletown had recently been de.
tected in an attempt as il was believed
TO steal some fat sheep-he Kain was
seen to come out Of thicket, un.
der suspicious circumstances, and on
search it was found that he had sew.
eraa fat sheep which belonged to q
neighbouring farmer pened up in con
cealed place. Affiant knows tina, Kahn
is now considered a rogue ia the neigh
bourhood where he resides. In short,
Affiant had he been examined as a
witness in the cause recently tried be.

DEAR SIa-It is now upwards Of twenty years that |
have used your New London Bilious Pills in my fsmi
w. and always found them efficient purgatye in al.
most every description of disease, and believe they
we'd many long doctors bill by their early and timely
use never found their accustomed certainty to vary
in their operation and effects until few months past;
and having. since then, been sadly disappointed in
ry instance of using them began to conclude that you
had made your fortune, aud abandoned their manuac
ture to mercenary and unfathful hands. Under this
impression, accidentally saw advertisement of
yours in New York newspaper. designating spurious
limitations from your manufacture, by having your
WRITTEN SIGNATURE to each bill of directions
and that in no instance the limitations signed with
pen and ink, although perfect copy in every other
respsct. Finding those bad without this test, be.
gan to suspect that all not fair in medicine as
we'll as in politics. and called at several of apothe.
carries for your pills, with your written signature
found many without this test, but none with it. until
came to the Aessrs Keerls who assured me they had
them direct from you. Iprocured box. and using
them, found the same effects from them had always
experienced, and am SO much rejoced on finding my
