bleeding and blind, is one of those common
and obstinate forms of disease which are so
difficult to cure on the ordinary methods, but
which find an entire and fundamental cure
in the Plies Specific. True, time is required !;
but the Specific is pleasant to take, requires
neither diet nor restraint and being followed
up perfect cure is the result. Hundreds of
persons, in purchasing a ease Of Specifies,
have obsaned cure for this most trying and
obstinate form Of disease, which has been
worth to them ten times the cost of the entire

have been cured with this simple Specific, and
we believe IL may be cured by perseverance.

O'Clock in the morning. AMI lasted without
intermission, during The whole of the day
and until after dark The Austrian troops
numbered 225.0OO. Both armies were
commanded by the Emperors in person.
The AusIrians have retreated to one of their
four great fortresses.

The correspondent of the London Herald
says: So little d;d the French expect a bat

he should be attacked. was met with refu-

trials was not probable.

Austrian force. which rushed down the hill
and fought with the greatest fury.
The Marshal resisted the attack to the
best of his power, and sent off his Aid de
Camp for support, but il was not before
three hours of frightful carnage had elaps-
ed that the corps of Gen. Mel made its ap-
pearance.
The Austrians were slowly driven back.
and every now and then there was pause,
and the French continued TO gain ground

The Austrians were thus slowly driven
out of Salferino, but all of q sudden they
made = tremendous burst forward, and the
French were driven down the hill

commenced once more to advance.
It was lie hail storm of bullets and
balls, and whole files were moved down by

Last week We gave an invitation to the
farmers of this county to give to the public,
through our columns, their views on the
subject of Immediately organizing an Ag-
ricuitural Society with view of holding a
fair this fall. if thought proper. We take
pleasure in inserting a we'll written article
in reference 10 this matter, from the pen of
w. B. Davis, of Dow Greek. Mr. D.
thinks fair cannot be held this fall for va
rious reasons. which he gives. We have
thought the matter over and have come to
the conclusion that he is about correct.
Every body is aware that the holding of an
Agricultural Fair is attended with great
deal of trouble and expense. The farmers
are all busy. and will be this season. about
matters that necessarily precede Agricultu-
raj Fairs.
Besides, a great deal of preparation is nee
essary to make fair successful to make it
an occasion of interest to all classes. and
the season is now too far gone. We do no.
believe people can get ready this season.
But let us organize society now. and lei
it be understood that next year We will have
a fair. Let the grounds be prepared. and
everything be got in readiness. Other
counties in Kansas have made beginning
in this important matter. and it win not dc
for Breckenridge to be too far behind. We
commend the letter of Mr.. Davis to oul
readers who are interested in this matter.
and viii saw that our columns are still open
for anything they may wish to say on the
subject.

Delegate to Congress.

The Leavenworth Times don't like the
remarks We made under this heading a
few weeks ago. We said that hat South
ern and Southwestern Kansas wants, is a
man pledged to her railroad and general in
terests. The Times scolds US, and says
that we do wrong when We 'intimate that
the ,eordiality of our support and endorse
mentis dependent upon whether the Re-
publican candidate is pledged to the con-
struction of sidewalks in Emporia, or a
meeting house in Chelsea We can con-
struct our own sidewalks and presume that
Chelsea can build her own meeting houses.
All we ask is that man shall be nomina
ted whose vision is not so obstructed by To-
cal interest that he cannot see beyond the
corporate limits Of Leavenworth, or some
other river town. We have got to be a
tower of strength within ourselves in the
Southern and South western portion of the
Territory. Look at the figures of the last
election returns. and see how the Republi
can party south of the Ksw looms above
that in the north. Does not this warrant
US in asking share which is all We do
ask--of Congressional lavors It has been
too much the policy of Kansas politicians
heretofore to almost entirely ignore the
wants of the people of the Southern Kan
sas. We want a man who, when he is ask
ed to lend his influence to any move for the
advancement of the interests of this portion
of the Territory. will not stand back and
say I'm afraid of LeavenHorth City"
even il that move should slightly conflict
with the interests of that place.
