TYPHUS FEVER.-1his term is de-
rived from the Greek word tuphos-stupor,
the disease being characterized by great
debility and tendency in the fluids to pu-
trefacton. This disease is most prevalent
in extreme warm weather-and in regions
where very foul atmosphere exists from
large decaying masses of vegetable or an
imal matter, overcoming the vital ener-
gies by these overpowing chemical agen-
cies. The first symptoms of this disease
are languor, detection of spirits, depression
and loss of muscular strength, soreness,
pains in the head and back the eyes ap-
pear full, heavy and yellowish-the tenn
poral arteries throb violently-the tongue
is dry and parched, the breath hot and Of
fenSive, The urine crude and pale, the bow
els costive, the pulse quick, small and
ha ard-and sometim a great heat, load
and pain at the pit of the stomach and vu-
hitting of bilious matter ensues. Thus
| clearly establishing it as a type of bilious
! disease. When these symptoms are dis
covered, no time should be lost in obtain
ing supply of DR., Brdgg'S Sugar Coated
/ Anii- Bilious and Tonic Pills, and use them
promptly, according 70 the drections-a and
the happiest results may be anticipated
They do not even require faith in their
virtues, as they operate by their own in
hinsic merits.

The New York Sun of the ooh inst,
has later accounts from Chill, stating San
tiago was visited by another destructive
fire on The 18th of April. 1t commenced
on the western side of the Plaza de la In
dependencies, and the flames, spreading
with great rapidity, soon enveloped the
beautiful row Of buildings called the Por-
tal. The loss of goods alone is estimated
at huff a million Of dollars. Two or three
lives are said 10 have been lost. While
the fire was raging shock Of an earth
quake occurred. This added 10 the gem
eral alarm, which was farther increased
by second fire breaking out in another
part Of the city.
Improvements are being introduced in
the Normal School for the education of
teachers for schools in Chill. a school
for the education of females has been es-
tablished at Copiapo.
Gen. Borgonn died on the 28h of March.
He was minister Of war and marine, and
was much esteemed.
PERu.-The revolution reported before
as having commenced al the South is de-
MED only a causeless rumor. General
Deustua was to act as Governor of Cal
lao.
EQUADoR.-Fears were continually
prevailing on account Of the movements O
Gen. Flores. A partial outbreak had oc.
Cured in his favor at lbarra, but it haC
been checked. 1t was the common opin.
ion that he would arrive at Callao in th'
steamer Of May.
BoLIvIA Quiet still reigns there, bu
its continuance was regarded as dubiou

TO ADMINISTRATORS, SC.

We wish it distinctly understood by
administrators and others, that from this
time forward, the cash must accompany
all notices inserted in our paper. We do
not intend this to apply to agents in other
counties who become responsible to us
for suehnotices as they may send us. We
have number of small debts due us by
administrators, some of them of three
years standing, and if they haven't be-
come ashamed of their promises to pay,
we at, least, are getting tired of listening
to their Oft-repeated promises. We shall
hereafter make no afIidavits of publication
nor receipt TO any man for advertising,
until cur fees are paid. Our own inter
est requires this much at our hands, and
we wrong no man in asking for what we
are justly entilledto hope our friends
will take this hint-if they don't, we will
give them call from an officer.

FRrMoSr, Cedar co. Mo-, !
July 25. lS4S.

.Messrs. Cameron g. Ritchey The last
Legislature of this State passed law,
creating the office of Probate Judge in The
county Of Cedar, and under said law, Mr..
John Z. Hartley, at the then ensuing Au-
gust election, was elected to fill said office.
Shortly afterwards, having concluded to
60 South, he resigned his office, and the
county court thereupon ordered a special
election, 10 fill the vacancy thereby occa-,
stoned. My friends urged me 10 become
a candidate for said office, but told them
my practice in that Court was worth more
10 me than the Office would be, and that /
would not run for it but that if they could
not get any person TO accept Of The Office,
and the people demanded Of me TO serve
them in that capacity, and signiGed it by
eleciing me, | would not refuse, &c. SO
the election took place on the 18th Of
March, last, and my name was put oh the
poll Books and was duly elected to fill
said vacancy. Ithereupon certified under
the law the name Of the person elected, to
the Governor, after " hich waited some
month and half, and getting no Commis-
sion, certified TO him the second time. and
also sent private Letter to hnn, stating
that it was important 10 the people Of Ce-
dar, that said office should he filed and
requesting him on behalf of the people Of
Cedar 10 write to me AMI let me know
why it was that the Commission was not
sent on-but have never received any
answer from his Excellency. Now, my
object in writing this letter Is to try and
get some sort Of response from The Gov
ernor, and in furiherarce of this object, l
hereby request you 10 publish this letter
IN your paper and send one COPY contain
ing tito his Excellency, John c. Edwards.
Very respectfully, Sc,
