the happy effects of its use, as we'll as other members

This is to certify thataI have used DR.. R. Fl.
Worthington's Cholera medicine in my family for
the last four or FIVE weeks, in several cases of Bowel
Complaint, so common in our vicinity, with inva-
riable success. One of the cases was that of a negro
child, some four or five mounths old, who was so
emaciated by the effects of the disease, that its life
was nearly d~espaired of when my wife happened to
think that she would try the Cholera Medicine,
and did so with complete success in less than forty
eight hours. l am throughly of opinion that no
family, should be without so fine a medicine.

THE FEMALE LIQUOR RIOTERS IN OHIo.-We
stated q few days ago that several females at
Mt Pleasant Ohio, had been engaged with
several men in mobbing man in that place,
for selling liquor The Cincinnati Gazette
says
The rioters, about thirty of whom were fe-
males forcibly entered the premises, and conf
menced their work Of destruction. Mr.. Laboy-
tauX who had charge Of the property, but who
was starting for another load heard Of the at
tack on his house, and hastened to the scene OF
riot As he was entering the door, a female
raised an axe over his head, and would have
fclled him to the ground had he not caught her
arm and threw her to one side. lie was then
caught BY persons of both sexes, and beat and
dragged through the liquor, which was six in
ches deep on the floor, back to the door thro'
which he was elected into the street Laboy-
taux, not liking L" the hands he had fallen into,'
finally made good his escape. The rioters con-
tinucd their work Of destruction until all the
liquor, casks and barrels were confScatcd. AZ
ter which, cheers upon cheers for the Ohio Ii
quor law were given DO the excited people, who
returned to their homes determined 10 renew
their attack if Mr. L., or any other man. brought
liquor to their town"
Such acts as these are not calculated to help
the cause Of temperance much. There IS no
community, We hope, SO far regardless Of law
and decency as to commend outragcs like these,
