my neighbor, Mr. Cornelius S. Roe, who
was supposed to be in a decline for the last
two years, after taking two bottles of the
PhGnix Bitters and one box Of the Life

stored.
Mr. Milo B. Root, my next door neigh.
Dor, who was laid up with inflammatory
rheumatism, by taking two bottles of the
Bitters and one 25 cent box Of the Pills.
told me he was as well as he ever was, and
told a gentleman in my store who was
afflicted, that as soon as he would take the
Pills and Buffers, just SO soon he would be
a well man.
Also. Mrs Hordu, wife of John I1ordu,
was two years since taken sick. and often
had fits. and lost the use Of one of her arms.
Ia six weeks after taking your pills and

has been on a visit to one Of her neighbors.

LocKPoRT, Nov. 81, 1887.

Mr. W. B. Moffat-Dear Sir: As a remark.
able %insance of the virtue and efficacy Of your
Life Pills and Phoenix Buffers, in restoring lost
health to the afflicted, has occurred in my
family, | deem it a duty owe both TO yourself
and the public, 10 make the fact known, that
Others suffering under similar circumstances
might perchance see this and obtain a remedy
in season to preserve them from a premature
grave.
My wife has been afflicted with the liver
complaint and general debility for upwards of
3 years; and for the last 3 months she has not
been able to walk across the room. After try.
various medicines prescribed by different ply
s%icians, which gave her no relief, she was
given up as incurablc. in this situation she
was gradually failing, when | happened to
cal. upon your agent in this village, and he
gave me a copy of the Good Samaritan, the
pcrusing of which induced me to try your
medicine, although | had but little hope of
her receiving any benefit from it. The effect
wRs surprising. Before she had taken ono
bottle ofbitters and one box of pills, she was
so far recovered as to be able to accomplish
most of her house-work without assistance.
Yours, respectfully, WARREN PArTERsoN.

ten miles from Taiohassee, the capital Of Florida,
shot down negro in the yard. inserted their mus

at the inmates, killing one young man, and woun-

the woods, and though pursued we're not overta-

On the night Of the 18th ult., party Of Indians
attacked the dwelling Of Mr.. Pendants, killed
Mr.. r., his wife, son, and daughter, in a most
brutal and inhuman manner. Mr. 7. and his son
they burned with the house. which was robbed and
fired, This savage scene was enacted within II

than when it first made war upon them.

very efiectua measures for retaining runaway
slaves, and for Furnishing those who are engaged in
kidnapping or encouraging slaves to abscond from
their owners The bill was ordered to its engross-

omen, that the incessant and untring labors of the
aboltionists have not yet destroyed, in Ohio the
respect which is due to the rights which the Con-

In conclusion the Committee cannot forbear re-
marking, that, during their whole investigation
they have not found the to which the laws as
they already erist, do not apply, in which they
defective. The permanent provisions of the
laws constitute every necessary check upon collec
tors, receivers, and disbursers Of public money
and the checks which, by law, have been and may
be created in the discretion of the Executive have
only to be attended to- and applied by those whose
duty it is to superintend the execution of The Jaws
TO faiihfuuess and detect derelclions OF de.
falcations in public officers.
Indeed, in all the new recommendations which
have been proposed by the President ofthe Secre-
tary Of the Treasury, the Committee has found Ell
Their what already exists, or what might have al
ways been prescribed and enforced ia the form of
Treasury regulations, and which, if enforced,
would have prevented the late defaca,ions and
these new recommendations can, indeed, be regar-
ded many proofs Of what regulations in res
pect to the late defauting collectors, RECEIVERS, &c
have been hitherto wholly neglected by the presen.
Executive and heads of Departments.
