Murfreesboro,' Aug. Goth, 1854.

This is to certify that I have used DIR. R. II.
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 negro
child, some four or FIVE mounths old, who was SO
emaciated by the effects of the disease, that its life
was nearly ~despaired of when my wife happened tc
think that she would try the Cholera Medicine
and did so with complete success in less than forty
eight hours. I am t~hroughly of opinion that ne
family, should be without so fine a medicine.
Given under my hand, this Bird day of October

This is to certify that some weeks back I was
taken with a violent Diarreea, which persisted for
eight days. Being some sixty miles from home,
I made use Ofall the remedies I could think of, but
without affording any relief. On arriving at home,
I was informed that DR.. R. II. Worthington had
prepared a remedy for Cholera, &C., and was adyi-
sed to use it. I did so, and to my establishment
one single dose gave speedy and permanent relief
since which time I have used it frequently in my
family and, in justice to the Doctor, say | consider
it much the most valuable medicine I have used il
an experience of twenty years.

Man Shot at Mad Canon.

We stop the press to announce that diff
iculty occurred at Mad Canon, Placer Co.
on yesterday afternoon, between two mer
named Wilson and Duffy, the former shoot
ing the latter through the heart and caus-
ing instant death. The cause of the attray
was misunderstanding between the parties
respecting the right to water running IN
ditch near their claims. 1t seems the ue-
ceased obstructed the ditch so as to prevent
the water from running through Wilson's
claims: hence the difficulty.
Wilson Immediately fed in the direction
OF Georgetown, and was closely followed
by six men until two o'clock this morning,
when he was caught, about one mile east of
this place. The party with accused in
charge, started this morning at early dawn
for Michigan City. In case of non-inter-
ference on the part of the proper authori-
ties in Placer Co., it is feared the accused
will meet with summary punishment at the
hands Of an enraged mob.
Wilson formerly worked in the Rocka-
way Tunnel, Cement Hill.

MURDERERs OF WALL AND WILLIAMSON.
The Monterey Seneinel has the follow
lug;
Passengers who came by the Senator in
form US that DR.. Mayes, U. S. Deputy
Marshal, had arrived at Los Angeles from
Monterey. The Doctor left here some three
or four weeks ago, for San Louis Obispo
and Santa Barbara. During his journey
lie frequently heard, from people on the
road, that party of men were making
ther way down the country, and that they
were at times making circuitous journeys
for the purpose of avoiding the ranches on
the road. The Doctor came up with them
at st. Buenaventura, and from the descrip-
ton he gives of them, we are confident that
this is the same party seen at San Barnabe
under suspicious circumstances, about the
lime of the murder of Wall and Williamson.
The party seen by DR.. Mayes, consisted of
seven Sonorians and one American, the lat
ter wearing a seal ring answering to the de-
scription of the one worn by Mr., Wall at
the time of his murder. 1t would not sur
prise us to hear of the arrest of this party
by the next steamer.

HABEAs CoRPUs.-We learn that Web
ster, who was fined $l00 for gaming, and
imprisoned for non-payment of the same,
was taken before Judge Barbour yesterday
on a writ of habeas corpus. Judge Bar
bour decided that under the law to suppress
gaming, Imprisonment cannot be imposed as
a penalty. This at once blockades the
Grand Jury. If the gamblers cannot be
imprisoned for the non-payment of a fine, it
is no use to indict them. The law is dead

~ ses of the Eye differs materially from the
course commonly pursued by Physicians. Be-
lieving that most diseases of the Eye have their
origin in obstructed circulation or an impure
state of the system, his remedies will be pre-
scribed with reference to the disease with which
the patient may be afflicted; and by equalHlng
the circulation, removing obstruction and restor-
ing the general health of the patient, the Eyes
may be permanently cured without the use OF
