FIVE WIVES

Mr.. Editor-I am we'll acquainted with
a highly respectable gentleman who re.
sides in one of the upper Districts Of this
State, not more than SO years of age, who
is actually married to his fifth wife. This
gentleman has been extremely unfortu.
nate, and yet very fortunate; to say the
least it, he is certainly great favorite
with the fair sex, and The fair sex great
favoriles with him. By each of his wives
he has son, all OF whom are still living
under his paternal roof. Their names are
as follows: Washington, Leonidas, Jack
son, Alexander and Bonaparte. Thus
you will perceive that he believes in
mighty names as we'll as many wives.

LAST WORDS OF A MURDERER

The confession of Erwin Berkshire, un-
der sentence of death for the murder OF
Samuel Hudson, nrar Paint ROCK, last
summer. is published at length in the last
Alabama Southern Advocate. The mur-
dercr states that he was born in Randolph
county, N. C. in May. 1911, Of honest
parents, and that his father afterwards re-
moved to Kentucky, Tennessee, and Ala.
bama. He left his father in 1888, and
lived nine months with Messrs. Ferrell and
Feemster, near Gunter's Landing; six.
teen months, with s. X. Raybun, in Mar
shall county, and kept three months at
Red Hill: lived as a. clerk three months
with Leonard and Wear, and twelve
months with Parker and johnson. In
Dec. 1886, he and his brother began busi-
ness on their own account, in Camden,
DeKaIb county, Alabama which conlinu-
ed until 1888, when he lived with Frank.
lin F. Roberts and sold goods in partner
ship with him until November, 1889, when
they failed. He then went to Georgia and
North Carolina, collecting money, and
returned by Ross Landing, where he left
his horse and took freight boat 10 Gun
,er's Landing. He remained there about
three weeks. and went on The boat of Hud-
son and Woolley, intending 10 60 to
Huntsville. At nj ght the boat was faslen-
ed to the bank Of the river. and the par.
ties lay down to sleep, friendly, in the
same bed. When his victims fell asleep,
he rose up, took an axe and made two dt-
tempts to kill them. when his heart failed
him. But he says Il felt depressed in spi-
rit.-blood thirsty-craved money, and
would have killed any one that'I thought
had money about him-at times / felt as
if would have killed any one whether
he had money or not He then struck
Hudson several times on the head with
the axe, killing him in his sleep, and in
s,anlIy despatched the other in The same
way. After rifing their pockets of what
money they contained, near $500, he cut
the boat loose, threw the bodies over
board, and went ashore to Huntsville, and
from thence TO Whitesburg, where he was
arrested on the second day. He says I'm

z II. 8. BANK---The Report Of '"e Elk
amining Committee was made to meenng
of the Stockholders on Monday last
The Assembly was crowded anu eAGn.ea 49,:
and at an early stage of the proceedings
threatened to break up in general row.
Several gentlemen undertook TO aaa.es' %
them. but were Kissed and coughei oo"n;
They called for the Report ana "ou'u
have nothing but that. 1t was read' anu
the deveopemenss it made Of asys'em o.
ravor;te;sm was,c and speculation, drew
forth repeated bursts of indignatlon.-
Here is one of its statEm ents.
.Mr. Samuel Jaudon received, for the
brief period in which he has acIeo as 'of-
eign agent of the Bank, some e'shtee',
months or two years, about three hahoreo
and eighty thousand dollars Tor his sef'''
ccsr'
At one period of great scarcity, the Re-
port alleges, that within the space OF Two
months, upwards of four millions of dol,
lars were loaned TO one person-suPPosed
to be Mr.. Thomas Biddle. The Report
states further that the former President and
Cashier loaned money without check or
reservation, and to great amounts. Un-
der this power they borrowed themselves
immense sums, and appear to have paid
off their debts in deprecated Stocks.
OF the actual present condition OF the
Bank, the Report gives better account
than most people expected. 1t estimates
the loss on the gross amount of present
assets, at Sl7,3Ol, ,946, and consequently
that the Stuck of the Bank is worth about
three sevenths of the par value. If 10
this, however, be added the loss Of char
acter and terrible entanglement of all
its affairs, we might make some deductions
fl ON the estimate, though we can scarcely
doubt that if all the Stocks held by the
Bank could be realized at their present
value, the Shares might be worth some
thing.
Another meeting Of the Stockholders
was to have been held on Thursday last,
the result of which has not reached us-lt
might end in determination to wind up
the Company. In the meantime MIR. Dun.
lap, the President, had sent in his resisna-
ton, and there was every appearance OF
total change, if not reform, in the adj
minstration of the Bank. So ends the
greatest humbug Of this century. While
we moralize on the fate Of the great Bank
brought on mainly it would seem by
an excess ofpublic spirit-a rash generosi-
ty in helping the States TO get in debt,
and to make paper money and enact Rail
Roads, &c.-let US see what has been the
effect upon the other parties, the States
and constitutions" that have been most sig
naIly blessed by her help. Here is a
paragraph about Mississippi that is in
points:
The Natchez Free Trader says: On
Saturday. we saw ten dollar gold piece
sold for 800 in Mississippi Rail Road
notes;.and, on Monday a common Marseil-
| les vest brought in notes Of the Mis-
sissippi Shipping Company. This is 60.

that the independent Treasury finds no favor in his

Harrison's Specific Ointment.

The great celebrity of this unrivalled Compost
tion-especially in the Northern StateS--leaves
the proprietor but little need to say any thing in
its favor for it has been generally conceded to it,
that it is beyond all comparison the best remedy
for erternal complaints that has ever been discov
cred. Indeed the speed and certainty of its oper-
ations have the appearance of miracles as ulcers,
wounds, corns, fever sores, chibains, white swell
lings, bies, piles, spider and snake bites &c
Immediately yield to its apparently super human
influence. Thus if properly applied it will remove
an inveterae corn or break and heal bile in five
days, will aav and perfectly cure an ulcer in two
weeks and the most desperate cases of white
swelling that can be imagined, have been destroyed
by it in less than two months. In the bites of
poisonous reptiles its efficacy is truly surprising;
ard even in the bite of rabid dog, for if applied
in time, its powers of attraction so wonderful
that they will at once arrest the poison and thus
prevent it from pervading the system. 1t is like
wise greatly superior to any medicine heretofore
discovered for the chafed backs and limbs of horses
for letters, ring worms, chapped hps,-and in
short for every external bodily evil that may fall
to the lot of man or beast.
The proprietor has received at least thousand
certificates and other documents, in favor of his
"Spectfc Oinhmenr upwards hundred of which
were written by respectable members of the Med
ical Faculty and in selecting from this pile the
following samples, he was governed more by their
brevity, than their contents, they all breath the
same spirit of eulogy and satisfaction.
