THE RELIEF afforded by Dr.. J

ses Of Dyspepsia and similar affections
has given that valuable preparation a
popularity among those who for years
suffered from such ailments 1t is ex.
cellent as a tonic and beEiicent in its eff
fects on the system. Its history is one
almost of miracles, one to which DR.. Hos
letter can point with confidence and cred
it. JUDGED, no remedy, perhaps, in The
same period has attained such an extend
ed popularity as the Doctors Btters,
which are ever regarded as certain cure
for distress Of tie stomach. Those who
have tried it speak praisingly Of its effects
and therefore we commend it to general
use. The bitters are free from anything
Gale ulated to prove injurious to the sys-
TEN, or objectionable to the patient.

Temperance Lecture.

E
Gst- On Friday Evening last, our cit.
ICES turned out almost en- 0aaSse, TO listen
to q lecture on Temperance, from j
@. DETwILEn, G.. w. G. of the Indepen-
dent Order Of Good Templars. The
Wapsipinicon lodge of Good Templars,
recently organized here, and now mum.
bering some 90 members, turned out in
regalia, and many members of neighbor-
ing lodges were present, SO that the large
hall of the Court House was completely
packed with listeners. The discourse was
rather disconnected, aad, it seemed to
us, III no sense approached Mr.. DErwI-
LERs former admirable efforts, although
this may have been owing to an indispo-
stlon of which the lecturer complained.
Still, 1t was an earnest appeal for con-
tinued energy and activity in the cause.
He urged temperance men to carry the
reform to the ballot.box. He warned
them that the combination of liquor
dealers would surely be there with its
money and its forces, and that the
temperance men of the whole country
were watching the contest in Iowa with
longing eye. He urged them to forget
party differences in this connection,
and to work for legislators who would
not only restore the prohibitory law to
its original exclusiyeness, but would
make its violation bring heavy penalty
upon the transgressor. He believed that
when selling liquor came to be regard
ed crime, and when the penalty OF
a criminal action was affixed to the Of
fence, then, and not until then, would
the traffic cease. Moral suasion had
been tried, and found insufficient TO stop
the ruinous business, and he believed
that the community had right to pro-
tecl themselves from it by harsher means.
He gave a history Of the origin, rise and
progress Of the order of Good Templars,
gave a protested explanation of its Sc
crets, and showed that there was no rea
son why any body should object 10 join
it on the score of secrecy. He spoke
eulogstically Of the change that has ia
ken place in Independence since his first
visit, in regard to the liquor traffic, and
urged continuance Of The good work.
Daring the meeting, those in the part
of the room in which we sat, were good
deal disturbed by the loud talk and jibes
and jeers Of big, burly, whiskey suck
er, formerly, if not now, a whiskey deal
er. We hope he will not again be allow
ed TO disturb meeting with impunity.

sad and Fatal Accident.

EE- We understand that on Friday
afternoon last, a little daughter of HENRY
B. HATcH, Of Sumner Township, about
ii years old, named ISABELLA, was so
badly burned by her clothes taking fire,
chat she died the next morning. 1t APP
pears chat she was on a visit to neigh
boris, and while engaged in play at some
distance from the house, set fire to the
prairie grass. the flames of which, throug h
some means. were communicated to her
clothing. burning her body to backen
ed and charred mass. She fingered, per-
fecly sensible, until about six O'Clock
the following morning, when death put
an end to her sufierings.

Conrt Adjourn ed.

Gs- The County Clerk yesterday re-
ceived q letter from Judge WILSON, stat
ing that he would not open court in this
place until Monday next. This an
nouncement is rather a tardy one, and
will put jurymen, witnesses and others
TO great deal of unnecessary trouble and
expense. Sill, as this is the beginning
and not the end Of the Judges term Of
Office, one can't expect him to sacrifice
his own convenience for that of the pub
lies.

E- Several Of our merchants, who
have been East for the purpose of pur-
chasing their summer supply of goods
among them Mr. p. C. WILCOX, Mr.. s.
HELLMAS, and Mr.. j. D. MYERS, have
returned, and with them have come large
and excellent stocks of goods, which they
are now receiving in store. and which
Messrs. Wilcox and HELLMAN this week
advertise in our columns. These gen
tlemen all bring encouraging news OF
business at the East, which is now al
most as good as il has ever been. Fac
tories and boundaries are generally ran
ming full, aud some of them, extra time.
Purchasers are plenty. money abundant,
and confidence pretty generally restored.
A good harvest this year would bring
about such desirable state of affairs in
the West.

E~ Those ofour County readers who
intend taking advantage of court week to
purchase their Spring Stock of Dry
Goods, Millinery, Hosiery. Groceries,
Boots and Shoes, Hats and Caps, &C.,
will do well to remember that Mr.. p. c.
WILCOX is now receiving very large
and select stock of all descriptions OF
Goods, and will sell them, as he has here
tofore, at the lowest possible rates. He
has found that the way to do business is
to sell good goods at very low prices, for
cash. and he will continue this policy
hereafter as here tofore. What Mn.
Wilcox advertises to do, he always per-
forms, and our readers may rest assured
that low prices with him are veritable
facts.

sage therein, in which, as NELSON as
serts, PLATO acknowledges his indebted
ness to Hebrew writer's. 1t was thus
! throughout the whole Of the Cause and
Cure Nelson's luoseness of assertion,
and misrepresentation Of facts, were al
most unparalleled, notwithstanding he
was held up as the scourger Of sccpicism.
The lecturer then said that having de-
monstrated thatbad Chfistians--for there
were bad and good Christians as well as
bad and good iniidelsin ancient and
modern times, had not scrupled to forge
and lie to support their system, and that
their lies and forgeries were circulated
honestly by good men, who supposed
them true, he would proceed to the sto-
ries concerning the death-beds Of inf
dels. He commenced with the story
about FRANCIS NEWPORT, so contin ually
repeated from the pulpit, published in
tracts, circulated with eagerness by all
Christian sects, and garnishing almost
all books and sermons got out 10 COMPUTE
In6delity. This story the lecturer pro-
nounced lie from beginning to end
as having no foundation in reality, and
being an absolute and base forgery TO

in which that great commentator shows
the whole thing 10 be false, and advises

turer also read extracts from the autobi-
ography Of JOHN DUNroN, relative of
the WEsLEYs, and q printer and publisher
by occupation, who was the man who
originally published this story. DUNroN
conlesses that he was imposed upon by
a dishonest man named RICHARD SAULT.
who made up the story, and forged the
whole account in the name of IA Rev Mr.
SAUNDERS, who, it was pretended, was
with NEWPORT at the time Of his sickness
and death. DUSroN, in the paragraphs
read, asked par ion of God for having
published it he accounted it rs one of
the great errors of his life, and advised
every one who had q copy Of the story,
f p
TO burn il. But, Notwithstanding this,
all Christian sec,s were engaged in cir
culating the lie, and, Tie lecturer thought,
would continue TO do So He had, him
self, heard the story from the pulpit, he
thought, as much as go times, and he
showed TO tie audience great variety Of
tracts and books, published by the several
evangelical denominations, which con
tanned it.
The lecturer interspersed his discourse
with many incidental matters, upon which
we have not touched, having spoken with
his usual fluency and energy for an hour
and a half. In his next lecture, he stat
ed, he purposed to say something about
the deluge, and also to take up some of
the stories about DAVID HUME and VOL
TAERE, and, if lime would permit, Of those
in reference to GIBBoN, D'ALANBERr,
DIDERor and others. Next Saturday
evening, on account of Court sitting,
there would be no lecture, but or the
Saturday evening following, he proposed
lccturing as we have just announced.
