SPECIAL NOTICES.

DYSP EPSIA.
There is perhaps no disease which destroys the nap
piness and comfort of individuals, and families TO the
same extent as Dyspepsia or Indigestion
Previous to the discovery of the
ORIGINATED BITTERS,
There existed no medicine accessible to those suffer-
ing from this wide spread disease, which relieved it
in any marked degree.
The power of these Bitters over the above named
disease well as all those having their origin in i'm
perfect digestion, and functional diseases OF the
stomach, well asthma and General Debility is
beyond all question
Its speedy and permanent cures of some of the Sc
verest and stubborn record is sufficient con-
frmation of this fact

FOR CHILDREN TEETHING,
which greatly facilitates the process of teething BY
softening the gums, reducing infammation-will al
lay all pain and spasmod action, and is TO REGU-
LATE THE BIO wells.
Depend upon it, mothers it will give rest to your.
selves, and Reliefand Health to your infants.
We have put up and sold this article for over ten
years, and say in confidence and truth of it, what
have never been able to say of any other medicine
never has it failed in single instance to effect
CURE when timely used. Never did we know an in
stance of dissatisfaction by any who has used it..
On the contrary, all delighted with its operations,
and speak in terms of highest commentator of its
magical effects and medical virtues. We speak in
this matter "wHAT WE KNOW" after ten years ex-
perence, and pledge reputation for the fu6lment
of what we here declare. In almost every instance
where the infant is suffering from pain and exhaus-
tlon relief will be found in fifteen twenty minutes
after the syrup is administered.
This valuable preparation is the prescription of
one of the most Experienced and SkifuI Nurses in
New England, and has been used with never failing
success in thousands of cases.
1t not only relieves the child from pain but invig-
crates the stomach and bowels corrects acidity and
gives tone and energy to the whole system It will
almost Instantly relieve Gripping in the Bowels and
Wind Colic and overmore Commissions, which, if not
speedily remedied, end in death We believe it the
best and surest remedy in the world in all cases OF
DYSENTERY and DIARRHEA in Children, arising
from teething or from any other cause. We would
say to every mother who has child suffering from
any of the foregoing complaints-do not let your
own prejudices nor the prejudces of others, stand
between your suffering child and the relief that will
be sure-yes, absolutely sure-tO follow the use OF
this medicine, if timely used @

Mississippi MtelIigence.

The Grenada Rural Gentleman Of Saturday last
has the following:
The weather has been exceedingly disagreeable
the present week. Every symptom of winter is
presented and the planter admonished to prepare
for its coming.
The widow of the late Etheldred Williams, re-
port of whose death, by slave, was published last
week is, we learn, also dead. The fatherless and
motherless orphans have our heartfelt sympathy.
The Lexington Advertiser of Friday has the fol
lowing;
We learn that Mr.. Lemual A. West was thrown
few days since from the cars on the Mississippi
Central Railroad, while in full speed crossing over
culyert 20 or 30 feet high by one Of the engineers
on the locomotive. and was seriously injured. Mr..
West an employee on the road, it seems attempted
to chastise negro for some misdemeanor when
the engineer, whose name we have not learnt,
urged the negro to resist-and while the negro
and Mr. West were olinched, he seized the latter
from behind and threw him overheard. The en-
gineer has since absconded. 1t is said it was a
miracle that Mr.. West escaped with his life, under
the circumstances.
The Yazoo Democrat Of Saturday says
The weather to-day is of the most villainous kind
Having turned cloudy during last night, it began
raining this tThursday) morning at an early hour
which has continued incessantly up to late in the
evening. 1t is one Of the coldest rains we have
ever experienced. Business out of doors is utterly
out of the question.
From the Pamela Star of Thursday we extract
the following: as.
On last Thursday night, about o'clock the GIN
house of Mr.. John Gillion, of onr county was dis.
covered to be on fire. When first seen the house
was completely enyeloped in flames, rendering ef-
forts to save anything perfectly futile There was
about fifteen bales Of cotton, two wagons and all
the farming implements on the place, destroyed
with the Clubhouse. Mfr. Gillon is satisfied that it
was the work of vile incendiaries, as there had
been no fire about the gin for two weeks.
Such things as burning stables gin houses, etc.
are becoming SO common throughout the South
that they cease to cause remark and viii continue
growing worse just SO long as our people suffer

men, to prowl about through the country unuues.
toned and unmoested. It his high time a stop was
put to these things Our peace, prosperity, prop
arty, and even our lives demand it.
We learn from the Canton Citizen that Franklin
Smith, Esq, an eminent lawyer and highly esteem
ed citizen of that place, has been convicted Of
shooting, with intent TO kill, Owen Vonyactor, edf-
tor of the Commonwealth. He took an appeal
from the decision of the Judge, but the Judgment
was confirmed by the Supreme Court.
