Home Testimony.

We clip the following just need of
praise from the St Louis Daily Demo
crat DIR. Wm. Bierbower and other
druggists of Evansville are selling
largely of these medicines, and say their
customers speak very highly of them
A Coon ARTICLE is ALWAYS CHEAP
This holds good, in two senses, with
reference to the Cherokee Medicines"
advertised in our columns:
LIST. Those who use them are cured
and save the bill of some mercenary
quack.
I'd. They are not disappointed, as by
lower-priced but worthless cure-alls"
These medicines do not claim to cure
every disease flesh is heir to; but they
are warranted to cure every case, with
out single exception, of those diseases
for which they are recommended. They
are compounded from the simple plants
of the forest, and contain no nauseous
drugs nor poisonous minerals. For full
particulars, write the proprietor, DR.. W.
R. Merwin, No. 6 South Fourth Street,
St Louis, who will mail, free, a full
treatise in pamphlet form. Read it, try
the medicine, and, our word for it, you
will never regret our advice.

Ourk killed amount to |, 1872; our wound

RIVER NEWS.

Down, down goes the river, and the
bar above town is again peeping above
the surface of the water There is, how
ever, q rise of FIVE feet coming and the
signs of rain increase. But few boats
are passing, the Government having
taken so many into the service that few
are left for general freighting. WHAT few
do pass are crowded with freight.
The Mary Crane, from the Cumber-
land, passed up on Monday night.
The Courier arrived from Cairo at 8
o'clock yesterday morning and left again
at two P. NJ, with magnificent trip.
Capt Dexters line has again. fairly
taken possession of this trade, and will
doubtless maintain it.
The Nashville passed up yesterday,
with big load of cotton.
The D. B. Campbell arrived from Gin
cinnati yesterday, with two large barges
loaded with hay and oats.
The Lebanon No 2 passed down yes
terday morning with a good trip.
To-day the Big Grey Eagle, the most
elegant boat on the Ohio will be the
regular and reliable packet for Hender-
son and Louisville.
The McCombs was down from Louis
vile last night, and left on her return
/
before morning.
We learn from the Pittsburg and Gin
cinnati papers that a magnificent new
boat-frst class in size and apportion-
ments-called the Mary Forsythe, is on
its way down the river.
Our jovial friend Humphreys, of the
firm of Cox & Humphreys, reached
home yesterday from scout in search
of stray wharf boat
He informs us it will be here in few
days, and will be the most commodious
craft of the kind along the river. This
will enable this enterprising firm to
greatly extend its business.

A PLEASANT EyENING.-There was a
gay and festive reunion at the Locust
Street Methodist Church last night, the
only drawback being the incapacity of
the house to hold those who desired to
attend.
We crowded our way in for few min
utes bat were soon crowded out, only be-
ing able to bear the pressure long enough
70 take glance at the handsome decora-
tons and the hundreds of happy, smiling
faces, old and young On one side of
the pulpit was large Christmas Tree,
bearing fruit not less attractive to the
Juveniles than was the apples of Eden to
Grandmother Eve.
A magnificent arch gorgeous with
bright flowers and evergreens, spanned
the pulpit, while on the other side of
the pulpit was an inverted cone, formed
of evergreens decorated with flowers,
and suspended from the ceiling, the
whole array displaying excellent taste
and great beauty. On the wall back Of
the pulpit was suspended a magnificent
American flag, showing that a spirit of
patriotism had pervaded the decorators.
The Sunday School children arranged
on the platform, we're not the least at
tractive feature of the occasion-their
young faces wreathed in smiles, and
their young hearts bounding with joy.
The exercises-which consist ed of
speeches, dialogues, recitations and mu-
sic-were deeply interesting and anus
ing, rejecting infinite credit on those
who arranged the programme, and on
those who so admirably carried it out
1t was indeed a happy occasion to the
Sabbath School children, and we regret
that the crowd was SO great that we
could not witness the entire programme,
and that we are unable to give a more
extended report of it.

The War.

Many southern items of interest APP
pear in our telegraph columns this morn
ing. Indeed the most exciting army
intelligence we have received lately is
from southern sources. Gen. Foster is
evidently worrying the rebels in the Vi
city of Goldsboro He has already done
great damage to the railroad by tearing
up the track, destroying bridges and
burning depots The rebels appear to
realize, for the first time, that they are
no longer to enjoy a monopoly of that
kind of work The Confederate Govern
ment evidently regard the operations Of
Gen. Foster with great apprehension,
and are making extraordinary efforts to
rc-enforce General Smith, that he will be
able to drive Gen. Foster back to New
bern. If the requirements are as
numerous as intimated in the rebel dis
patches, Gen. Foster viii be compelled
to fall back. We trust he will be shrewd
enougd not to be caught mapping.
On the Rappahannock all is quiet, APP
parently We cannot think that Burn
side is doing nothing. He is not that
kind of a man. His manliness is assum-
ing the responsibility for an attack that
has been regarded as military bluuder
all over the countay-becauSe ii t0as
quasuccesstaL-has added to his friends
rather than enemies, and they will look
to his next move with increased conf
dence that he will achieve success.
In the West, affairs look considerably
mixed. Gen. Grants communications
are seriously threatened, if they are not
already cut off He will have to open
up communications with the Mississippi
River, or his men will be on short ra-
tons, and that speedily. The rebel cav
airy in his rear are bold, and have no
doubt entirely destroyed all dependence
on the railroad as a means of obtaining
supplies. But Sherman's column is in
motion, and will soon be in communica-
ton with Gen. Grant by the way Of
Vicksburg and the Yazoo River. In the
meantime, we trust Gen. Davies will fur
nish the guerrillas plenty to do to keep
out of his way.

TURKEYS FOR THE MILLIoN.-It is true
beyond all question that Elliott, two
doors below First on Main street, has an
inexhaustible supply of fine, fresh, fat
Turkeys, the very incest for Christmas
dinners you ever saw. He has also a
full stock of every thing else desirable
for epicureans or stoics. Go early to-
day and lay in your supply.

BaDtiSt Church,

We learn that the ladies of the Baptist
Church of this city intend to offer an en-
tertainment on Monday evening next,
the precise programme of which we are
not informed, but will no doubt be in
keeping with the enterprise and good
taste of the ladies of that society
The substantials will be in the form of
Oysters, Turkeys, and other delicacies,
with Fruits, Ice Cream, &C., &C. We
also infer that the choir of the church
will be aided by that of other churches
in producing some fine sacred and ma
tional anthems.
They have obtained for their enter
tainment the two fine halls in Foster S
Block, the late Masonic Hall, for sup
per room, and the beautiful and SPLEEN
didly furnished Odd Fellows Hall, on
the same floor, will be used as a prom
enade and concert room, giving ample
scope for the social Interchange of the
compliments of the season"
The object of the ladies is most lauda-
bic. They have always labored under
great disadvantages from the inconven-
tent location of their place of worship.
They are now making an effort to re-lo-
late more eligibly. They have purchased
(and more than half paid for) an eligible
site for their church on the corner Of
Cherry and Third streets, and are making
this effort to aid in paying the residue.
The friends of religious and material
progress will no doubt extend a helping
hand by liberal patronage of the even
| inr's entertainment.

SG- To take a look into the Eureka
Bazaar, you would think that Cook
would never sell all of the Turkeys,
Chickens, Ducks, Geese, Eggs, Butter,
&C., &c, that he has received for the
Christmas trade; but when you look at
the string of customers that line his
counter, you will think it doubtful if he
has enough to go around. But they all
seem to go away with their hands full,
and say there is plenty left for all that
may come. 1t is plain tob be seen that
the people appreciate Cooks efforts to
keep the best Family Furnishing Store
