100000 WE'LL DIsTRIBuTED.-The slCO. 600
prize in the drawing Of June 9th, Of the ROYAL
Lottery, was drawn by seven or eight parties in
Matanzas. The Aurora de! fnnanrt, published in
(S25, 000) was drawn bya commercial house where
there are several honest aud laborious young men
who came in for shares Of 50 500 each; mercha
drew S2o 900; broker S25 900 and the other
fourth was divided in three or four portions-one
of them (s6,250) was held by foreign servant
girl, who is now likely to change her sphere;
$3.50 by negro cook, who immedi atel informed
his master that he wanted his free papers made
ready for him, and finished by marrying his col
ored lady love, and set up a fruit and vegetable
stall The other S12 500 II is not vet known to
whose let they fell This is a very good distribu-
tlon Of the large prize.-CMbaR Messenger

RBPUTArIoN-Nowa and then we find those who
attain, through years Of toll, exemplary conduct
charity, munihcence, position Of importance
among men,-who are known for the positive
good they do not what they appear to
do; who are shielded from the shafts of scandal
and prejudice by their ''goOd deeds seen and
known of all men -
We believe that DR.. Wistar, the discoverer of the
long tried "Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry
has done much for the relief and benefit of poor
suffering humanity, and that his memory is as
Justly entitled to encomiums of respect and graft
tude as any philanthropist Of our country. This
invaluable preparation still maintains an incom-
parable position among physicians and druggists
ana by the people is cherished as a remedy OF un.
surpassable value for all diseases Of the throat and
lungs
we confidently recommend IL to our readers
when afflicted with pulmonary disease-Wntsy-

GREAT DAY.-Day before Yesterday was a
great day in the neighboring county Of Culpeper.
Va The occasion was the presentation Of beau
tiful flag, painted by Culpeper artist to the re-
organized "Minute Men OF Culpeper." At the
opening Of the Revolutionary war the county of
CulPePer was called on to furnish a single COM
Pany in the service Of the colonies In answer to
that call, so general was the response as that
battalion Of $50 men-all being refused who were
not six feet tall and over-was INSTANTLY raised
Soon the battalion grew into full regiment OF
"CulPePer Minute Men, >" whica was i'm service
throughoutthe war; being presentin perhaps twice
as many hard-fOught engagements as any other
regiment, and becoming justly the most LIBERATED
corps Of all in the service Of the patriot eau.e
John Marshall, afterward Chief Justice Of the
United States; the celebrated Judge Pendle,on. Of
the Supreme Court Of South CaroIins; General,
the Slaughters, brosdus's, and a host OF Others
Williams and Green, of Revolutionary fame
who were subsequently regarded as the best com
pany and reginiental officers in the colonies, ser
vice, commenced their military career as mem.
oers OF this justly -eelebrated corps the county
keeping in the held throughout the whole seven
years contest three or four times az many men as
any other population Of the same numbers in either
colony This remarkable corps signalized them
