OUTRAGE oS 4 SoUTuERNER.-TLe Richmond

1t was not exactly proper for people in Boston
to post aperson visiting their city, in this disa.
greeable manner, but the affair does not quite
come up to our idea Of an outrage which we con.
ceive to be something excessively horrible in point
of crime. or bad taste. Indeed when we remem,
ber that if Northerner were suspected of aboli.
tionism while in Richmond, his life would be in
danger. and that he would at best hardly come of

allude to this little breach of good manners in

Murder and Arrest.

A man named L. E. MAY was attacked

ton, on the Dubuque Western Railroad
few days since. and cruelty murdered
Mr.. MAY was engaged in measuring some
wood that his assailants were delivering
and dispute arose in reference thereto
The Irishmen finally attacked May with
clubs, and beat his skull to pieces. so
that he died day or two afterwards.
A man named CORNELIUS O 'LEARY, one
of those engaged in the above ARRAY, was
arrested mile or two east Of this place
last night, by the deputy sheriff of Del

Buchanan County Townships.

T We would call attention to a fact
that has heretofore been published in the
Guardian-the present construction Of
the townships of the county, measure
that was rendered necessary sooner than
it would otherwise have happened, in
consequence of the formation of Middle
field and Como. The Code requires that
the civil and congressional townships be
made to correspond in every county as
soon as circumstances will permit, and
though changes are always attended
with some individual cases of inconve-
nience, yet the permanent establishment
of the townships will be found general
benefit. Prairie, which, in accordance
with the wish of the inhabitants, will be
hereafter called Fremont, consists of the
whole of SO Z Byron of the whole of
80 8; Washington of the whole Of SO
9, and the northern tier of sections of SO
9, in order not to divide the village of
Independence Sumner the remainder
Of SO 8. with the exception that Eph
rain Miller, Samuel Wilson, Clinton
Wilson and David Gill belong also to
Washington. When this arrangement
was made, the County Judge supposed
he would have the right to fix voting
place for the township of Liberty, but as
that is not new township, but only the
enlargement Of an existing one, by the
addition of portions Of what had before
constituted Spring. an examination of
the Code showed that he had no author
ity in the matter, and that it belonged
to the Trustees of Liberty township to
designate the place of holding the cleo
tons.

HAMILTON is the name of a new station

the cure Of his daughter.
MEssRs. A. L. ScovILL d Co.-Dear Sirs
feel it my duty to write you and let you know
what your Blood ann Liver Syrup has done for
my daughter, and that by publishing it, others
who suffer with the same disease, may know of
it, and by its use derive great benefit. My
daughter Eliza has been sorey afflicted with
Scrofula, attended with great pain, for more
than two years She had some five or six run
ming ulcers on one of her feet one on her hip
and one on her back. She commenced using
the Blood and Liver Syrup, and as the medi-
cine acted on the blood, the sores commenced
to heal. The limbs are getting straight--s he
is now gaining strength. l have only used
three bottles of the medicine, and she can walk
quite well. One of the limbs is but little, il
any, shorter than the other. Your Blood and
Liver Syrup has done wonders in restoring her
health. With the greatest respect. 1 remain
Yours,

New Goods.
ET The Messrs. MYERS. in common
with the rest of our merchants, are now
receiving their Fall Stock of Goods. and
by the last of the week will have much
of it in store. They assure us it is the
most complete stock of goods they have
ever brought to town, which. in view OF
the extensive assortment that they have
heretofore offered, is saying much in its
favor. Their stock Of clothing, boots
and shoes. ladies' dress goods. &c., will
be more than usually complete. and OF
excellent quality. and. it is needless to
say. will be sold at very low prices.

Ayers Cathartic Pills,
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A FAMILY pHYSIC

arc so composed that disease within the range of
their action can rarely withstand or evadc them.
Their penetrating properties search, and cleanse,
and invigorate every portion of the human or
ganism, correcting its diseased action, and re-
storing its healthy vitalities. As a consequence
of these properties, the invalid who is bowed
down with pain or physical debility is astonished
to find his health or energy restored by remedy
at once SO simple and inviting.
Not only do they cure the everyday COM
plants of every body, but also many formida-
Bile and dangerous diseases. The agent below
named is pleased to furnish gratis my American
Almanac, containing certificates of their cures
and directions for their use in the following COM
plants: Costireness, Heartburn, Headache dris-
ing from disordered Stomach, Nausea, Indigestion,
Pain in aud Morbid Indcfion of the Borels, Fiat
ulency, Loss Of Appetife, Jau,adice, and other
kindred complaints, arising from low state of
the body or obstruction of its functions.
Do not be put off by unprincipled Dealers with
some other pill they make more profit on. Ask
for AYERS PILLS, and take nothing else.

The Agricultural Fair.

= r.
EE We desire to remind our county
readers that the Second Annual Fair oil
the Buchanan County Agricultural So
ciety will be held in this place on We'd
nesday. Thursday and Friday. the 2lst,
22d and Cad of the present month, and
to urge upon them the Importance of en-
deavoring to give as much interest TO the
occasion as possible. We have several
times given our views of the utility and
benefit of these exhibitions, and it is
not necessary now to repeat. These Fairs
have done much for the cause Of Agri-
culture, and are destined to elevate that
occupation to the dignity of an intellec-
tual and scientific pursuit. Farmers
should therefore show their appreciation
of them by participating actively in the
.doings of the Society. Every one OF
them should become member, and thus
the Society would have the means of CIV
ing sufficient Importance to their preni
ums to excite competition and with that
competition would come improvement of
stock and the mode of husbandry. Our
own state offers an inducement to men,
bsrship, in donating to each Society one
dollar for every one the Society raises, up
to two hundred, so that if the Society
raises two hundred dollars annually, it
will also get two hundred from the State.
Our Society certainly ought to receive
the maximum amount from the State, but
will not do 80 unless our farmers come
up and join the Society. So far but a
few dollars have been paid into the trea
sury the present year, and unless more
interest is taken in the matter, the premi-
UNI fund of the Society will be very mea-
gre. Let our farmers come up and join
the Society. and if they have good
specimen of stock, or of agricultural pro-
duction. let them bring it along, in order
that the display may present as much
variety, and give as much satisfaction, as
possible.
The Fair will be held at the Empire
House, ON the West side of the river.
Entries for the blowing match must be
made two days before the first day of the
fair. All entries must be made before
3 o'clock, p. NJ, on the first day of the
fair. which day will be entirely occupied
with preparations. At 8 O'Clock on the
third day an address will be delivered by
Judge LOWELL, of Dubuque, very tai
ented speaker.
We are requested by the Secretary to
say that prompt and early attendance
of the several committees, is desired.

Ayers Cherry Pectoral,

FOR THE RAPID CURE OF
Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness,
Group. Bronchitis, Incipient Consump-
ton, and for the relief Of Consumptive
Patients in advanced stages Of the
Disease.
So wide is the field of its usefulness, and SO
numerous are the cases of its cures, that almost
every section of 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 superior
ity over every other medicine of its kind is too
apparent TO escape observation, and where its
virtues are known, the public no longer hesitate
what anfidote to employ for the distressing and
dangerous affections of the pulmonary organs
that are incident TO our climate. While many
inferior remedies thrust upon the community
have failed and been discarded, this has gained
friends by every trial, conferred benefits on the
afflicted they can never forget, and produced
cures too numerous and too remarkable to be
forgotten. ~. ~~4r

Ague Cure.

FOX THE SPEEDY CURE OF
Intermittent Fever or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers; indeed
for the whole Glass Of Diseases origi-
mating in hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria Of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the ne.
cessities of the American people than sure and
safe cure for Fever and Aguc. Such remedy
we are now enabled TO offer, with a perfect Ger.
tainty that it will eradicate the disease and with
assurance, founded on proof, that no harm can
arise from its use in any quantity.
That which protects from or prevents this dis
order must be of immense service in the commu-
mites where it prevails. Prevention is better
than cure, for the patient escapes the risk which
he must run in violent attacks of this baleful
distemper. This "CURE expels the MAS
matte poison of FEVER AND AGUE from the
system, and prevents the development of the
disease, if taken on the first approach of its pre-
monitory symptoms. 1t is not only the best
remedy ever yet discovered for this class of COM
plants, but also the cheapest. The large guam
tty we supply for dollar brings it within the
reach Of every body; and in bilious districts,
where FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body
should have it, and use it freely, both for cure
and protection. 1t is hoped this price will place
it within the reach of all the poor as well as the
rich. A great superiority of this remedy over
any other ever discovered for the speedy and
certain cure of Intermitents is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral, consequently it produces
no quinism or other injurious effects whatever
upon the constitution. Those cured by it are
left as healthy as if they had never had the dis
ease. ~. 75-aF-sts :. 's,asr-.- se-s r-t,a--ssz,
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence
of the miasmatic poison. A great variety of dis
orders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Govt, Headache, Blind
ness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrl, Asthma,
Palpitation, Painful Affection of the Spleen,
Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis,
and Derangement of the Stomach, all Of which
when originating in this cause, put on the inter
mittent type, or become periodical. This CURE
expels the poison from the blood, and conse
/ quently cures them all alike. 1t is an invalua
bic protection to immigrants, and persons trav.
| cling or temporarily residing in the malarious
districts. If taken occasionally, or daily, while
exposed to the infection, that will be excreted
from the system, and cannot accumulate in suf
| fcient quantity to ripen into disease. Hence il
! is even more valuable for protection than cure
and few will ever suffer from Intermittents, if
they avail themselves of the protection this rem.
| edy affords.
