THIS remedy has for itself such notoriety
from its of every variety of pulmonary disease
that it is entirely unnecessary to recount the evil
dences of its virtues in any community where it
has been employed. So wide is the field of its use
fulness and so numerous the cases of its cures,
that almost every section of the country abounds
in persons publicly known, who have been restored
from alarming and even desperate diseases of the
lungs by its use. When once tried its superiority
over every other medicine of its kind is too appa-
rent to escape observation and where its virtues
known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote
to employ for the distressing and dangerous afec-
tons of the pulmonary organs which are incident
to our climate. And not only in formidable at
tacks upon the lungs, but for the milder varieties
of COLDS, CoUGHs, HoARsENEss, &C.; and for
CHILDREN it is the pleasantest and safest medicine
that can be obtained.
AS it has long been in constant use throughout
this section, we need not do more than assure the
people its quality is kept up to the best that it
has been, and that the genuine article is sold by

1t appears by the latest advices from Kansas
that among the other persons murdered there in
cold blood for the crime of being Free-State men,
is Mr.. Gay, who held Office under the U. s.
Government as an Indian Agent. We know not
his history but doubtless he was some Democrat
who had obtained the appointment before the ex-
tension of-Slavery plank had been added to the
Democratic platform and who by some accident
or other had escaped removal.
This murder, perpetrated by some of their own
party seems to have alarmed the citizens Of West.
port, Missouri, who have taken q leading part in
all the outrages of which Kansas has been the
scene. Had Mr.. Gay been merely q Free-State
man, no doubt to judge from their past history,
the people of Westport would have highly approved
of his murder, and would probably have honored
the murderer, Ia Brooks, by presenting him
rifle, q bowie knife, or Ratchet, Whatsoever
might have been the instrument Of the murder.
But considering that he was United States officer
the people of Westport are little alarmed, and
have passed resolutions condemning the act, and
offering a reward for the arrest of the murderers.
President Pierce, a. established BY the case Of
the Indian agent Clark, allows his Indian agents in
Kansas to commit murders with impunity.
Whether be will exhibit the same nonchalanee in
allowing them to be murdered remains to be seen.
Had the murdered Indian agent been Pro-
Slavery man doubtless we should have had great
ruppus about it; as he happened to be Free
State man, it is likely his murder, like all the
other murders perpetrated Of late in Kansas, will
go unno,iced and unpublished. In fact, the Presi-
o,nt will, it is likely, consider himself very much
obliged to the murderers for having detected this
Free State interloper in possession Of Federal
Office, and for having, by his summary murder,
saved our tender. hearted President the necessity
of turning him out This murderer, indeed, so
far from being punished, is much more likely to be
appointed to the h,t Kansas Office In the Presi.
dents gift.

The over-sup ly and decline ia price Of beef
cattle at Bulls Head yesterday occurred as prog
Dosticated. Our report shows 1888 offered, that
were estimated to average 700 lbs. each of beef,
which would make 1858 100 lbs, the average
price of which was about nine cent? decline Of
two cents in two wetks-aDd the highest asking
price for the best, ten cents. In consequence Of
the low price, at which the cattle were sold butch
ers bought more freely, aud probably 600 were
taken by graziers. Butchers must not forget to
share the advantage Of the reduction with con-
sumere.
