EAR. LEIDY'S INDICATED EXTRACT |
e b OF SARSAPARILLA, having become so
deservedly popular, on account of its superior
strength TO any other preparation of Sarsaprilla in
existence, it is thought unnecessary to make much
comment upon its virtues. Suffice it to say, one
bottle of the above contains tCice much Of the
active principles of Sarsapara AM other ngredi-
ents, as any extract in eXisteCne in the guam
tity, and is equal TO one gallon Of Syrup Of SarSa-
pariYa for making which druggists and others pur-
chase the above preparation. Price one dollar per
bottle.
1t is recommended in all diseases Of the skin and
Bones affections of the Liver, Stomach, Spleen
and Kidneys; Erupdons, breaking out of Dry and
Watery Pimples on the face, neck and body; ulcer
atons Of the nose mouth and throat running at the
Ears and Eye5,Eyspilas, Scrofula,r rheumatic pains,

diseases produced 10y the use of mercury or other

world, as being the most po10erJul agent ever dis
covered purifying the blood and Animals Fluids,
consequently the most valuable specific for all dis
eases, resulting from impurities of the Blood, and
other fluids Of the body.

Horrld Nurdcr.-Some time, during the last
winter, JAMES CARRADus, Esq, of Charles Coun-
ty, mysteriously disappeared, and the public was
induced, by the representations of some Of the
members of his family, to believe that he had
been accidentally drowned in the Chickahomny
river. The public, however, gave way to this de-
lusory impression, but for short time. Circum-
stances were speedily disclosed, which awakened
strong suspicion in the public mind that this
unfortunate and ill-fated individual had been muir
dered, and that, too, by inmate Of his own fam
lily. Every day and every week tended to
strengthen the conviction of the truth of this sus-
picon, until, at length, the citizens of the neigh
borhood determined to institute rigid investiga-
ton into the whole affair, and strip it, if possible
of that mystery III which it had been so long en-
veloped They, accordingly, had the suspected
individual, Benskin Hopkins, SON. in-law of the
unfortunate Carradus, arrested, together with sew
eral servants which belonged to the plantation,
and carried before Justice Of the Peace for ex-
animation. The evidence in the case was so
strong, that the magistrate determined to commit
to jail the mastersprit Of this tragica DRAMA and
his accompfice John, there to await further tri-
al. Hopkins was admitted to bail, and when the
day Of his trial arrived lie failed to make his ap-
pearance. His guilty conscience had doubtless
whispered within him, that, in this instance, at
least, prudence the better part Of valor, and
he determined to heed its wise and salutary admo-
nitions. But his poor, ignorant and unfortunate
accomplice. was put upon his trial, convicted and
condemned to be hung. Upon the recommends
ton OF the Court, however, the Executive has
comhuted his punishment to transportation. At
ter his condemnation, he made public confession
of the whole matter, from which it appeared that
Captain Carradus had been deliberately shot down
by his wife's son, Benskin Hopkins, whilst en-
gagged in his domestic pursuits, and wholly uncon-
scious Of the approach Of danger: That he asss:
ted Hopkins to drag the body Of his lifeless VICTIM
whilst weltering in its gore, to an adjacent marsh,
where it was buried in the mud His hat and
coat were taken and sunk in the mud, hard by the
spot where they had deposited the corpse Of their
ill-fated victim. The negro conducted the gen.
tlemen of the neighborhood TO the place where
the body, coat and hat had been deposited. hey
succeeded in finding the coat and hat, and were
informed that the body had been removed by Hop
kins to some more secret spot. The citizens of
the neighborhood are entitled to great credit for
the untiring industry and perseverance with which
they have erreted the perpetrator Of this bloody
deed. Thus has our community been deprived
of most estimable, worthy, and respectable citi-
zen, by the hands ofa skulking assassin, who is
fed from justice, and is now going at large.
