DEAR SRI: l 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 con-
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 week at Ruthertordton,
small village in North Carolina to try the effect of
some Chalybeate water in that place. About the last
of the week went into drug store to get med
icine for my child and myself There were several
of the village physicians in 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 of
"Hoofands German Bitters," prepared by ysu, and
he insisted that would try the Bitters. He also
called the next day at my ROOM and insisted 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 neighbours came to
me for prescription and medicine, he dyspeptic
and gave him nearly all the Bitters had left which
effected much good in his He has often called
on for more of the gc.ie kind of medicine, saying
he was more benefited by it than any other he had
taken, but have not been able to get any for
him or myself since. Will you, therefore, please ship
me dozen or more as soon as possible.
Respectfully, yours, W. SMITH.

cases of appeals from the lower judicatores of the
Church. They are heard with closed doors, members
and ministers only being permitted to be present. In
the case Of the Rev. Mr.. Harlan, who was expelled
from the Church by the Cincinnati Conference, the
appellant was heard at great length, and finally the
action of his Conference affirmed. In the case
of the Rev. Nehemiah Stokely who appealed from
the decision of the New.Jesey Annual Conference,
the Rev. Mr.. Monroe heard in behalf of the Con.
ference and Mr.. Combe for the appellant. On taking
the final question the action OF the NewJersey Con-
ference was reversed and Mr. Sokey was restored to
his standing in the ministry by vete Of le4 to q.

Correspondence Of the N. Y. Tribune .
MADISON, Wis, Thursday, May 8, 1885,
The Border Rufians of Wisconsin having been
put down by the late decision of our Supreme
Court, we are now at liberty to turn our attention
10 the Border Ruffians of Western Missouri Our
State is not Indifferent to the struggle now goiog
on between the forces of darkness and light, Des-
potism and Freedom. You have already had proof
Of this in the generous response lately made at
Milwaukee, where both men aud arms were freely
offered for the preservation of Freedom in Kansas.
Since then other meetings Of like character have
been held in various parts of the State. Last
week one was held at this place, and though the
weather was very fOrbidding the attendance indi-
cated Enthusiastically that Dane County is alive to
the great question up for solution. Prof. Daniels,
well known as our former State Ge0loglst, mas
lately returned from personal inspection Of Kan
sas-his tour Of observation having been undertaken
at the solicitation Of the friends of Freedom in this
State; and he is now giving our citizens the result
of his trip to that country. lie reports II as
being an exceedingly fair country, offering induce
ments to the settler second to no other portion OF
our States and Territories. He confirms the most
glowing accounts of it's salubrity, beauty and fer.
tii.y and speaks in high praise OF the character OF
the inhabitants already there.
At the meeting held here last week, Commit
tee was appointed for the purpose OF raising
fund in aid of Freedom in Kansas, and the Com
mttee are actively canvassing this county for this
purpose company of emigants has already
been formed and will leave in few days for
Kansas. Other companies, doubtless, will soon
follow.
Congress, it seems, is very benevolently. deter.
