ANOTHER CATHOLIC PRIEST IN TRoUBLE.-The
Tamaqua pa Gazette says that their town was
thrown into great excitement, one day last week,
by the report that Rev. James L. Morris, the Ro-
man Catholic Priest of that place, had committed
an assault and battery, with an attempt to commit
rape, upon the person Of the wife of John Staple
ton member of the Catholic Church.
Mr.. Morris Immediately left for Pottsville, where
he was arrested, by means of the telegraph. He
was imprisoned for two or three hours, when he
called in counsel and then appeared before Justice
Beed and gave bail for 81 900 for his appearance
at Court, refusing hearing before magistrate.
There is great excitement in that section on ac-
count Of this outrage, and II is thought there will
be some very startling developments when the
matter comes up for examination.

TESTIMONY FROM NORTH CAROLINA. =,

Certificate Of DR.. w. Smith, Of Pine Hin, Rich
moad County, North Carolina.
PINE HILL, March A, 1854
DEAR S1R: have been subject of Dyspepsia, in
its worst FORM for the last five years. Such was my
condition for twelve months that the physicians and
all who saw me said must die. While in this
dition was carried to the watering places in Vir-
ginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina, but was not
benefited by any water to which was taken. While
on my way home, stopped aweek at Rutherfordton,
small village in North Carolina to try the effect Of
some Chalybt ate water in that place. About the last
of the week went into drug store to get some med
icne for nv child and myself There were several
of the village physicians the store and one OF them
seemed to take some interest in my case, and after
asking me some questions, said he had been dys-
peptc, and had been greatly benefited by the use of
" Hoofands German Bitters, prepared by you, and
he insisted that | would try the Bitters. He also
called the next day at my room and insisted so much
that would try them that asked him to get me
one BOTTLE He did it, and commenced taking it as
directed and was more benefited by it than all the
water and medicine had ever taken.
After reaching home, one OF my neighbors came to
me for prescription and medicine, (he dyspeptic)
and gayem nearly all the Bitters had left, which
effected much good in his case. He has often called
on me for more of the kind of medicine, saying
he was more benefited by it than any other he had
taken. but have not been able to get any more for
him or myself since Will you, therefore, please ship
me a dozen or more as possible.
Respectfully, yours, w. SMITH.
