noon, while party of gentlemen were returning
from the wreck of the bark Glasgow. in four

sudden flow of wind struck the boat and capsized
her Immediately. Mr.. WIN. p. Rowland, repre-
sentative of Lloyds London Insurance Agency,

the Dry Dock at Savannah were both drowned
The remainder were saved by terry-hoat that

pletely insensible.
Both of the deceased leave families, md nu-

in the heartfelt grief accustomed by this calamity.

The vessel is about TO start back for England,
and is not impossible that the unfortunate men
who committed this outrage, will never see their
messmates again, The scene was n peculiarly,
interesting one, and from one at least of the par
Elephants, it wrung many n scaldng tear, as they
bid each other, perhaps, last farewell.

RICHMOND July 9th 1879 T

Messrs. w. s. Beers g. Co. Gents. Considera :
tons of duty to tho afflicted alone prompt mo
to send you this voluntary testimonial to tho
great value of Cdrter's Spanish hRrture,' for
that almost incnrablc disease, Scrofuia.
Without being disposed or dceming it ncccs-
sary to go into the particulars of the case, can
say that the astonishing results that have been
produced by tho use Of that medicine on
member of my own family, and under my own
observation and superintendance, after the skill
of the best physicians had been exhausted and
all the usual remedies had failed, fully Justify
me in recomm ,ndng it's use to ali who may be
suffering from that dreadful malady.
do not mean to say that it is adapted to all
constitutions, or that il will afford the same re-
liefin all cases; for, Of course, can know no.
thing about that-but from what have seen OF
the effects, l would not hesitate to use it, in
any and every case of Scrofula, with persons
for whom felt an interest, or over whom
could exercise influence or control. t..s.
Respectfully yours,

discovered that the heart and lungs had been
so affected as to cause rush Of blood to the
head, which proved fatal almost instantly.
Al about o'clock this evening, tho bod y

entirely unoccupied. 1t was accompanied
by two of his murderers, l. G. the rlmsellers,

from present appearances, will perhaps soon
follow him to drunkard's grave. There
were also a number Of other citizens in at

was entirely surrounded by trees, and soon
the rumbling clods concealed the poor inc.
briates body. There il will rest till that day
when it will be finally judged before Him
