WILSON, N. G.
-sae69eas.

[ DEEM it proper to inform the
Public, that Mrs. Battlo by the will OF
her father, owns property separate from
all claims on my part, and intended for
her "sole use and benefit and that of
our children" BY the aid of her moth
er and other relatives, she has become
the owner of the House and Lot we now
occupy, together with all the furniture,
stock of cows and hogs, horse and bug
gy, and all that appertains to the prem
ises. | have yielded my right as her
husband to the control and management
of this property; but expect to aid her
by my counsel and attention, when at
home, to promote the we'll conduct of
the Public House, and the interest of
our family. When absent on my du-
ties as Minister of the Gospel, Mrs.
Battle will secure the services of such
persons, as will give every attention
necessary to the comfort of her patrons,
as her present circumstances will admit.
Her charges will be regulated by the
charges of other Hotels similarly situa-
ted along the Rail Road, and she hopes
to give satisfaction to all who may give
her call. 4. j. Battle.

Stomach Pills

A remedy for coughs, colds, oatarrh,
Group, whooping cough, asthma, consump-
ton, nervous diseases, dyspepsia, erysipelas,
salt rheum, disease of the heart, fevers of all
kinds, obstructed and painful menstruation,
inflammation and pain in the chest, back and
side, and all diseases arising from derang-
ed state of the stomach, and to relieve the
distress and bad feeling from eating too
hearty food in weak and dyspeptic habits.
These pills act as an expectorant, tonic
and aperient, and are designed to supersede
the use of the various cough remedies in the
form of expectorants, syrups, balsams and
sarsaparilas of the present day, being what
the public have long needed, and put at such
low price that all will be ablo to obtain
them. One box Of these pills which costs
but Is cents, possesses four times the power
in curing the diseases for which they are re-
commended, than the high priced one dollar
bettles of any of the expectorants, syrups,
balsams, or sarsaparillas now before the
public-and fair trial of them will convince
any one of the truth of this statement.
Each boz contains 25 pills, price. 25 cts.

GRANDRET}] PILLS,

DIR. BRANDRETH would here impress
on his friends and the public generally, that
however different may be the action of the
Pills ut different times, that such different
action arises not from any alteration in the
Pills, but from the state of the body; they
should therefore be pcrscvercd with until the
action is uniform; for they are an effectual
assistant of nature, having the same kind of
action on the human body that storms and
hurricanes have upon the air, or that the
tides have upon the ocean: they purify.

DR., .SDencer's Tegetab[e Pills

DR.. Spencer's Vegetable Pills
ARE the cheapest and most approved
family medicines ever offered to the public.
They are extremely mild in their operation,
neither causing sickness of the stomach, nor
any unpleasant sensation in the system, as
is too frequently the case with medicines
given to act upon the bowels; hence multi
tudcs, who have been unable to take other
pills or prepal ations ST medicine, on account
of their nauseating effects, use these pills
without the slightest dissgreeable feelings.
All that is asked Of those who have never
yet become acquainted with them, is to pro-
cure one box, and the Proprietor's word for
it, they will never call for any other kind of
purgative medicine so long as Spencer Veg
etable Pills can be obtained.

tucker, the Brooklvn murderer.

Mr.. W. l.. Crandall, Of Syracuse, writes to
the Albany Alas, concerning the Brooklyn
murderer, as follows:
81 have known Mr.. J. n. T. Tucker well for
ten years; for that period have regarded him
as insane, as | am sure every person Of any sort
OF discrimination does, who has seen him in
any variety OF relations. He was for many
years Baptist preacher--was known as Glider
Tucker" As he had lively imagination, he
could preach to those who we're pleased with
the generality Of things in general, with great
acceptance; TO those who require facts and
sound reasoning thereon, not so acceptably.
In 1874, Tucker & Kinney published the De.
n'ocrdtic Freeman, a weekly abolition sheet, at
Syracuse, an organ Of the liberty party, Mr.. T.
being the editor. This was continued till May,
ls45, when the same firm established the SYRIA
euse Daily Star. Mr.. T. edited that paper for
over year. In 1913, for few months prior
aud subsequent TO the election Of General lay
lor, he ofhciated as editor Of the Troy Wing.
In lS49 and 1850, | believe he was in the State
Hall, in some capacity; and in 1851 one Of the
deputies of the clerk of the Senate. During
this period he married, as his second wife, a
maiden lady, residing in Albany with friends,
his first wife having died at Syracuse in l94S,
and who left three or four children. How he
has been occupied during the past two or three
years, do not know, not having heard from
him until he turned up in the Daily Brooklyn
Freeman, Native American paper.
He was, for FIVE or six years, substantially
resident OF Syracuse-that being the field Of
his labor, or the residence of his family and
surely, would like to see the man in Syracuse
who met him from day to day, who, during the
last few years. has regarded him as responsible
for anything he said or did.
One anecdote must tell, it is so perfectly
illustrative Of the character Of the mans mind.
In 1850, Tucker published tract in favor Of
free schools. He was in New York soon after,
with an acquaintance, now residing in one Of
the western States, and proposed that they TO.
gether call on several gentlemen--John w.
Beekman, Senator Crolius, and others, for aid
which they obtained. On the excursion Of
several hours, Tucker drank repeatedly; and
on returning through the Park, suddenly came
to dead halt, and said B., do you
know how / feelT NO, of course l do not
Well, you see that tree, don't your Yes
: Now, don't know whether that is a tree or
notP All this was said with the earnestness
and gravity and sincerity Of preacher, and
which no one who has not known him, freed |
from the restraint which strangers impose, can
begin to appreciate

DEATH OF Mas. SoUTHEY.-The London
Times, Of July q, thus notices the death of the
widow Of the poet Southey:
"Caroline Southey, widow of Robert Southey
the poet Laureate, died on the 10th instant, a,
auckland, near Lymington. She was daugh-
ter of the Rev. DR.. Bowles, canon of Sails
bury Cathedral, and was highly graced with in
tellectual accomplishments. She was married
10 DR.. Southey in 1882 about year and a half
after the death of bis first wife, Edith Fricker,
to whom he was united on the day he left Eng.
land for six months sojourn at Lisbon. The
Rev. G. G. Southey, vicar Of Ardleigh, in his
Life and Letters Of bis father, says: when
the day was fixed for the travellers (Southey
and Hill) to depart my father fixed that also
for his wedding-day; and on the 14th of No.
yember, 1895, was united at Radcliffe church,
Bristol, TO Edith Fricker. Immediately after
the ceremony they parted. Ny mother wore
her wedding ring hung round her neck, aud
preserved her maiden name until the report of
Der marriage had spread abroad"

The following is from the Louisville Journal

The following is from the Louisville Journal:
"The Washington Sentinel says that Grey
town 'had no legal existence We suppose
the meaning Of this is that the existence OF
Greytown was against the law, and that q
proper regard for law required her annihila-
lion. How would it do for man who should
commit murder TO set up the plea that his
victim never had legal existenceY
The Journal is pleased to play facetiously on
our words. However, we have no objection.
In reply to its question, we beg leave to say
that, if there be man without any illegal ex
istence," such man is an outlaw, who is
denied the protection and the privileges of law
because he is an enemy Of the human race. II
slain or "bombarded, the plea that he had no
legal existence, if proved, would be good
plea. This is precisely what we have proved
in regard to Greytown.
