Barnet, Vt. Nov. 3, 1883.
It affords me great pleasure TO add to my testi-
mony in favor of your invaluable medicine-the
Magic Compound. had been subject to most
tried several remedies without deriving any real
benefit. My cough continued 10 grow worse every
winter till the winter of 1885, then was confined to
my bed, and all who saw me thought me dying with
consumption. My son, who had just been cured
of a bad cough by using part of bottle of your
Compound. gave me few doses of it. Th. help
ed me much that procured a bottle, and be-
fore had used al of this, restored to health.
Since then have had cough, and though I am
about seventy years old, I enjoy good health; and
| attribute it all to your mcdicine-the Magic
Compound.
Very truly yours, LEVI BEAN.
An lover, Mass. Aug. 8. 1889
The bottle of Weeks Magic Compound which I
received from you, has entirely cured me of the
Fever and Ague. Ny wife has also used it fol
Sore Throat, with very great benefit. 1 recon-
mended it to friend of mine who was thought 10
be in the seated Consumption. He was unable 10
work, had very bad cough, very bad night
sweats pain in the side and hetic flush of the
check The pain in the side is gone, the night
sweats have vanished, the cough is cured ana ne
is attending to his business. One OF our fuy.s,
clans here has recommended it in his Praoti0e win
good success. 1,p1r1
Yours truly, CHAo- : u NhH"'
Rad the following from ono of the best physi

VALLEY Bank Of Kansas.

We have observed within the last few
DAYS quite a number Of the notes Of the
above named bank, located at Atchison
City, Kansas Territory, in circulation.
The stock Of the Valley Bank has recent
" changed hands. W. A. Russell having
purchased a controlling interest, is now
President. We have also been informed
that 10000 in specie has been paid in by
the new stockholders, besides-other secu-
rites, amounting in the whole to over 40,
600. Several of our merchants, we learn,
are now receiving the notes, in exchange
for goods and in payment Of debts.
By advertisements in the Leavenworth
papers we notice that the bankers Of thai
city receive the notes Of this bank on de-
posit or in payment for exchange on east
ern cities, on the same terms as the note
of the banks of Missouri or other States
All notes presented at the counter Of tn
Bank Of Atchison are promptly rcdeeme'
with specis.-&. Joseph Gazette.

SOUTH PLATTE,l

ANOfCmOSA ., SOOo'
Arrived here the second day of the
month, and are building cabins for the
winter. We will have them done in
few days, when we expect to look around
and prospect some and see how much gold
there is here. We have not prospected
any yet worth mentioning, having been
too busy building.
There are some men at work here max
ing from three dollars to five dollars per
day, and only working with pans.
Mr.. Harrington, an old miner of Cali
fornia, who came our with US, says that
where a man can make So per day with
pans, he can make $25 with sluice box.
As for the quality of the gold we can,
not give a correct account until We look
for ourselves, but we believe that there is
plenty here, from all appearances, and have
located on the South Platte, six miles
above the mouth of Cherry Creek, and
about fifty miles from Pixies Peak, where
we expect to spend the winter, and in thu
spring we can go anywhere we wish ant
mine. There is gold all along here on tn
Platte where we have built, that We cal
dig this winter, when the weather will ad
NIT of our working.
When we arrived we found about sew
enty-five men here. Since we arrived tw
companies have come Zone from Iowa an
the other from Kansas City and Leaven
WORTHY There are two or three othe
companies behind yet. l suppose whe
they all get here, that there will be abou
two hundred and fifty men in all.
The men here generally have goe
health, in fact there is no sickness at al
with the exception of few chills.
There are about two inches of snow @
the ground, but it is not very cold; M
much colder than it is in Missouri. / thin
we will pass the winter very well. l wi

Ifthou hast sought to bind again

If thou hast taught, in kindly tones.

Give me thy hand, my sister,
Thy hand in bliss or woe,
When smiles Of JOY light up thy face,
Or tears of grief DER flow;
When hopes are high, and thou art strong
Hfesrugged path to tread
Or when thy skies are overcast,
And those gay hopes have fed.

The Useful and the Beautiful.

The tomb of Moses is unknown; but
the traveller slakes his thirst at the well
of Jacob. The gorgeous palace of the
wealthiest and wisest Of monarchs, with
the cedar, and gold, and ivory, and even
the great Temple of Jerusalem, hallowed
by the visible glory of the deity himself,
are gone, but Solomon's reservoirs are as
perfect as ever. of the ancient architec-
tuary of the Holy City, not one stone is
left upon another; but the pool of Beth
soda commands the pilgrims reverence at
the present day. The columns of Perse-
polls are Wondering into dust; but its els
terms and aqueducts remain to challenge
our admiration. The golden house OF
Nero is mass Of ruins; but Aquis Clau-
dia still pours into Rome its limpid stream.
The temple of the sun at Tadmor In the
wilderness, has fallen; but its fountains
sparkle as freshly in his rays, as when
thousands of worshippers thronged it:
lofty collonades. 1t may be that London
will share the fate Of Babylon, and moth
| ing be left to mark its site, save mounds o
crumbling brick-work. The Thames vii
continue to flow as it does now. And
any work Of art should still rise over tn
deep OCEAN of time, we may well believ
that it viii be neither palace nor tenn
pie, but some aqueduct or reservoir; an
il any name should fash through the mids
of antiquity, it will probably be that z
the man who. in his day, sought the happl
ness of his fellow-men rather than the
glory, and linked his name TO some gre'
. work of national utility and benevolsnc'
This is the true glory which outlives a
Others, and shines with undying lustse frol
generation to generation; imparting
works some Of its immortality. and
some degrees rescuing them from the rui
which oYertakes the ordinary monumen
of historical tradition, or mere magnii

Home.


Where burns the freside brightest.
Cheering the social ereastr
Where beats the fond heart lisntest'
Its humble hopes possessed!
Where is the hour OF sadness
The meek-eyed patient born
Worth more than those OF siadncss
Which mirth's gay cheeks adorn!
Pleasure is marked BY neetness
To those who ever roam,
While grief itself hath sweetened.
AT home-sweet home!
There blend the ties that strengthen
Our henrts In hours Of grief,
The silver links that iengthen
lows visits when most brief;
There eyes, in all their splendor,
Are vocal to the heart;
And chances, bright and tender,
Fresh eloquence impart;
Then dost thou sigh for pleasure
Oh do not wildly rosm;
But seek that hidden treasure
At home-sweet home!
Does pure religion charm thee
Far more than aught below!
Wouldst thou that she should arm tncc
Against the hour Of woef
Her dwelling is not only
In temples built for prayer;
For home itself is lonely
Unless her smiles be there;
Wherever we may wander,
IT'S all in vain we roam,
If worshipless her alter
At hOme-sweet home!

AURARIA CRY, K. To
Mouth of Cherry Greek,
November 18th, 1858. }
Mr.. M--:-I arrived here on
the 18th inst, having made the trip in AZ
days. We had a very pleasant trip. with
the exception of six or seven days, on
this end of the road. travelled through
the snow several inches deep; we have
located in this town, and have four lots
each, in the best part of the city, sixty
feet by one hundred. l think this will
make us pretty well off; and in addition
to this, we have taken up claim Of l60
acres of land each on Cherry Creek-all
good land. / have not prospected much,
but am perfectly satisfied that there is as
much gold in these mountains as there is
in California. Men are making from So
to $40 per day with pan. This is as
good digging as want. 1 aconld adUise
you to come out in the sgring, if you can
make the arrangements, and bring out
stock of mining tools and clothing. You
can make more here in one year than you
can in ten where you are. Tell -
he must be certain to come, and every
body else that you think anything Of
| This certainly is the New Ell Dorado ofthe
world You may tell Van Horn, of Kan
sas City, that he cannot say too much
about the richness of these diggiDgs. You
can find gold almost anywhere on this
river, and in many places the deposits are
very rich-equal to California.
There is greater portion of this valley
(Platte and Cherry Creek) that is we'll
adapted for agricultural purposes; land is
as good as the Missouri river bottom, and
plenty of timber for building and fencing
! purposes. The timber on the Platte i;
principally cottonwood, and of as heavy
f growth as you will find in any country.
The climate is good, that is for about
months in the year; the remainder is very
) cold, but those who have been here TO
some time, say that stock can winter herr
and keep fat, so the winters cannot b
very severe.
. Mr.. Smith, of johnson county, Mo.
has established a regular express from
Kansas City to this place, and when yol
write you must direct my letters to Kan
sas City, to the care of Capt. VIM. Smith
Pixies Peak Express.
As soon as the weather will admit, W
intend to commence mining, and l al
;, confident can make money.
At this time there are about 500 me
= in this vicinity. All are well please
with the prospect. Yours, &C.,

always oboying God rather than man, would
meekly submit to the consequences, when
mans law was disobeyed. Who believed re-
sisance to regular constituted officers, in enior-
cling the laws of the land to be a sin. But their
views are too conservative, too christian, for
christian" convention.
1t is a matter of interest to notice the denom-
nations represented. According to published
minutes, find there were six Methodists--
four Methodist Episcopal and two Methodist
Protestants, two United Presbyterians, twelve
Wesloyans, and near forty Congregationalistsr
with a few scattering The convention then
was libel upon the religious denominations
when it claims to have been ''wcll represented"
by them from all portions of the State. But
few were there but those that make slavery a
test of membership the item in their creed
Leading christians here took no more interest
in the proceedings than had they been transac-
ted in the Penitentiary.
The resolution binding their votes, shows
the real object of the convention. The pros
poets for twenty thousand majority, that was
claimed few weeks since are growing beauti-
fully less. The election of the Democratic
ticket is confidently expected by Democrats,
and feared by the opposition.
