Scarcely could we have believed without
proof W hat is seen there beyond disputing.
They make a barrel of solid Pills about
15,G00 doses, and three barrels of Cherry
Pectoral, 10000 doses, per diem. To
what an inconceivable amount of human
suffering does this point 10000 doses

What acres and thousands of acres of sick
beds does this spread before the imagina-
tion ! And what sympathies and woe
True, not all of this is taken by the very
sick, but alas, much of it is. This Cher
ry Drop and this sugared Pill are to be
the companion Of pain and anguish and
sinking sorrow-the inheritance our moth
er Eve bequeathed to the whole family
Of man. Here the infant darling has
been touched too early by the blight that
withers half our race. Its little lungs are
affected, and only watching and waiting
shall tell which way its breath shall turn.
This red drop on its table is the talisman
on which its life shall hang. There the
blossom of the world just bursting into
womanhood is stricken also. Affections
most assiduous care avails not, she is still
fading away. The wan messenger comes
nearer and nearer every week. This lit
tie medIcament shall go there, their last,
perhaps their only hope. The strong
man has planted in bis vitals, this same
disease. This red drop by his side is he'll
ping him wrestle with the inexorable en-
emy the wife of his bosom and the cher.
ubs of his heart are waiting in sick sorrow
and fear lest the rod on which they lean
in this world, be broken.

Horrible Catasttophe.

Our citizens were shocked on last Wed
ncsday morning to hear of a most distre
sing and fatal accident that occurred 10
Lehman Township, this County, on last
Tuesday evening, from the explosion OF
Kerosene. It appears that daughter
of Jacob G.. Hornbeck, was filling a lamp
with the Kerosene, and Mrs. Hornbeck,
her mother, was standing near with a
lighted match, TO light the lamp when
ready, but holding it too close, it ignited
the oil coming from the can, which ex.
ploded, and flying over the person of
Mrs. Hornbeck, enveloped her in flames.
She ran from the house and jumped into
a spring near by, but not before her
clothes were entirely burned from her.
She was taken from the spring, but so
badly was she burned that she died the
same night, between IL and l O'clock
This sad occurrence has cast gloom O.
yer the neigbborhood, and Mr.. Hornbeck
aud family have the sympathies of ALL
Scarcely day passes but we find in some
exchange an account of similar accidents
to the above, which should teach us that
too much care cannot be exercised in fill
ing and lighting lamps ps.-Matord Herald.

The Trial of Jefferson Davis.

During the interview on Friday, be.
tween the President and the South Caro-
lima delegates, he said if treason had been
committed, there ought to be some test
10y the highest tribunal, as to the power
OF the Government to the punishment of
the crime, in order to the yindication of
the Government and the Constitution. c.
ven II the Executive clemency should
thereafter be exeociscd This repetition
OF his intention certainly does not COM
port with the assertion Of at least one
newspaper correspondent, and which has
been extensively published, that the
President has no idea of bringing Jcffer-
son Davis to trial Tke delay has cer4
tainly not been tbs fault Of the Admins
tration, nor is there reason to believe that
the desired test has been abandoned.
1t Is known that it is the business of
the Judiciary and not of the executive.
to Initiate proceedings in the premises
but there is difference of views among.
jurists, and the opinion has been advan-
ced that in the present unsettled condi-
tlon Of the Southern Suites, which are.
stili under martial law Gin one of which,
the trial would have to take place and
no general peace having been proclaimed,
further legislation by Congress may be-
come necessary, and, further, there
would not be time enough between now
and the first Monday of December, to try
the case, for at that period the Justice Of
the Supreme Court Of the United States
wlll commence their regular term at the
Capital. Whatever may be the ultimate
disposition of Jefferson Davis and others,
this appears to be the present condition
of this important subject
