- UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS.


4>Sa Ne remedy for Dyspepsia ever offered to
the public has met with the Unprecedented success
of Bakers Celebrated Premium Bitters.
Not than ten years ago. the proprietor OF this
medicine had the good fortune to discover its su:
peror virtues ia the eradication of dyspepsia, and
feeling it to be duty he owed the public, at once
in private way offered these Bitters to those who
were afflicted Since that time until within few
months. he has not sought by advertising or other
wise from the simple fact that there were go many
pandceas afoat, to give them very extended repu-
tation, nor should he have ever done go, had not
hundreds of his friends who had used them to great
advantage on themselves and their families, urged
him to give his Bitters greater publicity, in order
that the whole human family might be benefited
by their use. Having consented to do SO, he has
greatly enlarged his facilities for manufacturing,
and would say to all who afflicted with Dyspep
STA, Diarrhoea, Cholics, Cramps, Sour Stomachs,
Constipation of the Bowels, and all diseases arising
from disordered digestion, that BAKERS PRE-
MUM BITTERS are, of all other remedies, the
best that has yet been discovered for the eradca-
ton of these annoying complaints. Price 30 cents;

F1eHrING.-A youth about IA years OF age
named John S. Frazier but recently out OF jail
attacked another white boy named Francis u.
Brisget, near the Theatre, on Friday evening" and
beat him severely. He was arrested, and on Sat
urday brought before the Mayor, who, in default
of one hundred dollars security, committed him to
Jail for three months Frazier is an orphan with
out relatives or friends and as imprisonment would
but throw him among more mature and hardened
set of criminals Mr.. Al. Crane, who was in court
greatly to his credit, took measures to have the
overseer of the poor notified of the boys position,
so that he can be taken charge of not as felon but
as misguided unfortunate youth, and bound out
to learn trade and lead respectable life. The
Mayor in matters of this kind, has no authority to
90 outside of the letter of the Laws and it is to be
regretted that the power is not vested in him to
bind out youthful criminals guilty of petty offences,
to appropriate guardians, and thus save the home
less and truant youth of the community from the
evil and communicating communion OF crowded
jail. 81
Once the tenant of that school of crime, lessons
will be taught them that may, in the future, carry
them to the penitentiary and the galiows.

THE WHEELING BRIDGE CASE.

The NHEELlNU DhlDoE SACE.
A correspondence appears in the National In
,elI;rencer between Mr.. GEORGE w. THoMP-
son, the member of Congress from the Wheel
ing District, and Dir. REvERDY JOHNSON
Mr.. Thompson asks Dir. Johnson certain
questions with regard to the power OF Congress
over the navigation of rivers by steam and other
boats. Dir. johnson replies that his opinion
is perfectly clear that the power exercised by
Congress in the passage of the acts of the 9Th
of July, 1888, and Sd Of March, lS43, as to the
inspection of steamboats,, g., is identical
in principle with that of regulating the con-
suuction of chimneys to steamers SO as TO
enable them to pass the bridge of the respon-
denis, the Louisville Canal, and the Kentucky
River Bridge"
We understand that there is very little doubt
but thu, Congress will interpose TO save the
Wheeling Bridge from the decision of the Su-
preme Court, which would either destroy II, or
involve the company in an expenditure to ele-
vate H. that would perhaps ruin them. So mag
nifcent work of art-such an important link
of communication between the East and the
West-should not be destroyed to propitiate
the jealousies Of little town or to accommodate
seren steamboats,, whose chimnies have been
made unnecessarily high, to make it appear
