Is mas beeH Currently Exported that
in most of the Western Cities the Town Bell tolls
every day at noon, for the inhabitants to gulp
down quinine, a preventative of diseases caused
by malaria of the climate. Of course, taking quiz
nine is contagious habit, and every new settler
supplied with the poisonous drug, aud instruct
ed to take it in large quantities. if he would es.
cape the Fever aud Ague. Every house has its
medicine chest filed with this dangerous stuff, and
as regular as the hour around. so regular do
they gulp it down, though it was the richest
delicacy of the season. DR.. J. Hostetter, Good
Samaritan, known by the dreadful effects of quiz
nine upon the human system, when taken with so
much indiscretion, has pre- pared compound that
has, in all in which it has been tried, proved
a speedy cure for Fever and Ague, and all other
di seases caused by indigestion.

.TW6sOn's sHOHRSGfn Herb P6EEs.-How
strange and wonderful it often seems to us that
medicine composed of simple mountain herbs and
roots, should certainly search out and dis
ease. How surprising that the Indians should
know and preserve so long secret that has
ped the search of the greatest physicians the world
has ever seen. True, the cient inhabitants of
Mexico were a strange race, found by the Span
iards living in large cities, and allowing for their
strange customs aud religion as well civilized as
their conquerors. In the words of writer Of
some celebrity, "They have persisted from the
earth, their cities gigantic piles of ruins their
Kings and Princes, mighty in their life, for
gotten their ruins and their medicines alone are
left" The United testimony of all intelligent per-
sons is, that JUDs0N'S MOUNTAIN HERB
PILLS the most succ sssfuI medicine in the
world in curing disease.

The ELECTIoN.-The election yesterday passed
of very quietly-more quietly than any election
which has taken place in the city for years past.
We searched through the city for a single item of
the kind usually occurring on elections days with
out success. The returns were very late coming
in, owing, we suppose to the fact that SO few per-
sons voted straight tickets in any part Of the city.
Indeed, scratching seemed to be the order of the
day. The following were all the returns we were
able to collect up to the hour of going to press
For Sheriff. f.--Mazereau, by 405 majority; Wal
den, by 1882 majority.
For Coroner.-Dr. Beach, by 149 majority over
the highest.
justices Of he Pecce.-First, Brice; Second,
Mitchell; Third, Drouet; Fourth, Saucier; Fifth,
Morell Sixth, Barrett.
Cons!ables-First Court: Degruy; ID, Waters !;
Sd, Power we were unable to get the 4th; 9th,
Prados 9th, Mcclure.
Members of he House Of Representatires-M
caulay, Tappan Lindsay, Jameson, Carroll, Est
ln Wilson, Mott, Shaw, Cronan, Gaudry, Ruhl,
Bof, Duvigneaud, Solomon, Brown, Barthelemi
and Jonas. e.. -E
WEEKLY MoRTALITY.-The mortality in the city
during the week ending the Sd inst. was ninety
nine, of which forty-fve were children under
twelve years of age. The majority OF the diseases
reported were those incidental to the season, such
as pneumonia, etc. -.-r
FATAL AccIDEST.-On Saturday night an acci-
dent occurred on the metaire ridge, in the neigh
borhood of the race track, which resulted in the
death of wellknown race-rider named Peyton, q
colored boy, the property of Mrs. Read, who re-
sides near the Halfway House. 1t appears that
Peyton started to ride wild pony to the farm of
Mr.. Azure, which is in the neighborhood Late at
night the pony was found grazing around, which
excited the suspicion that all was not right, and
colored man went to see what was the matter.
The body of Peyton was found lying in the road.
He had evidently been thrown from the pony and
fell upon his head. His neck was broken and his
face terribly mangled, and from the position in
which be lay he could not have moved after he
fell. The Coroner yesterday held an inquest upon
the body, ana returned verdict in accordance
with the facts of the case.

SHARP REBUKE-The Bowling Green (Ky.) cor
respondent of the Nashville Union and American
states the following:
An amusing incident, and one calculated to
awaken the Northerners to keen sense of the
inhospitable reception with which they meet in
their invasion of Kentucky, occurred at Louisville
a few days since. A regiment from the northern
part of Indiana being transferred from Jetfer-
sonyile to Louisville on board the ferryboat,
when, having reached the Kentucky shore, the
Colonel of the regiment rode up the wharf, which
was alive with young and able Bodied Kentuckians,
who had assembled to witness their debarkng
and not enlisted in the Federal army. The Colo
mel, who was surprised to witness such gathering
of men capable of bearing arms, remarked that it
was ID hard for lndianians to fight the battles
of Kentucky" and asked, in an insulting tone,
Awhy KentuckaHs were not engaged in this war?'
An honest Irishman who was standing by and heard
the remark of the Abolition Colonel, replied, "ye
wait till ye meet Buckner then yell see Ken
tuckians." The reply, which contained 9 severe
rebnke to the impertinence of the interlocuor and
much truth elected not a little merriment from
the crowd and impaired to the Colonel intorma-
ton of a character the truth Of which will be veri-
fed should he ever come in contact with General
| Buckner's forces.
