DYSPEPSIA. This is a very distressing COM
plant, and gives the patient more suffering
than almost any other disease; in fact, it is a
combination OF many complaints in one. The
symptoms are numerous, and are of the nature
of almost all other complaints combined
From this fact arise the very many cases where
this disease is mistaken for some other. and so
improperly treated. The first symptoms in
digestion, tatulency, loss of appetite, heart
burn, headache, etc, ii neglected, almost al
ways awaken some dormant disease, and send
the poor sufferer to premature grave. What
YOU must first do is cleanse the blood and reg
ulate the bowels; do this with the Noun

dyspepsia.

lasted two hours and six minutes.
Thirty-nine rounds were fought, and

1t is now the settled opinion at
Rockford and Ottumwa, that Miss Har-
vey, who eloped from the former place
and was murdered at the latter, was
killed by McComb, the companion OF
Lawrence with whom she eloped. 1t
is believed that McComb first mur.
dered Lawrence to get possession OF
his money, and then murdered the
young woman to rid himself of the
only witness of his crime. The ground
for this opinion is the finding of bloody
hair and pieces of clothing near o.
tumwa, identified as belonging to
Lawrence.

Fugitive Slave Excitement.

In Troy, N. Y, on the 9th ultimo,
c. S. Dep. Marshal Holmes arrested
colored man, named Charles Male, as
a fugitive from Virginia, the property
of B. w. Harrisborow, of Culpeppcr
county. The fugitive was taken be-
fore commissioner Beach, and witness
es from Virginia identified him as the
fugitive described in the papers. The
commissioner therefore rcmanded him
back. Judge Gould issued habcas
corpus, which was served, and an OK
cited crowd of some 1000 persons
gathered about the Commissioners
Office. When the fugitive was brought
down to be taken before Judge Gould,
the crowd surrounded the officers, and,
rescuing the negro, took him to the
river where ferryman in waiting
rowed him across but arriving on
the opposite shore he was re-arrcstcd
by West Troy Constable. Here
another great crowd gathered. The
fugitive was taken to Justices Of
flee, which the mob surrounded broke
in, and the fugitive was recovered
from the officers and carried off in a
carriage. Blows, pistol shots, and
knockdowns occurred during the af
fair, but no one was seriously injured
= Colorcd people were the most active
participants in the rescue. Never
was such an excitement before known
among the Trojans since the time Of
the wooden horse.

The Harper's Ferry Committee seems
to be about played out. Gov. Wise
refused to attend upon it and give tes-
tinony, although no man in the coun-
try pretended to know more of the
John Brown raid, and although he had
the marvellous carpet bag and bush
els of reasonable correspondence, fully
duplicating half the Republican party.
In his refusal to appear when the pow
erty of these pretcnsions would have
been conclusivcly shown, he was pro-
tected by the Chairman, Senator Ma
son. Sanborn is at home at Concord,
protected by the Massachusetts law
and any number Of his neighbors.
Redpath is at Maiden, Mass, and re.
fuses to obey the summons to attend
in any event and at all hazards. John
Brown, Jr, likewise remains at his
home in the Western Reserve, de-
claring his intention not to obey the
mandate. Hyatt is comfortably en-
joying himself in Jail, having nothing
to tell, and dcfying the Senate to make
him tell it. On the whole we are OF
opinion that the Committee mi ght
about as well hasten up their business,
make out their report and get out OF
sight and memory.

Saline Lands of Iowa.

As is we'll known, the State Inlvcr-

for an appropriation to complete their

in lieu of money, to donate them to

the appropriation will enable the Uni
