! IMPORTANT. TO. THE SICK.

We invite the special attention of our
leaders to DR.. Easterlys advertisements,
khich can be seen incur advertising coll
mns. DIR. Easterly's Family Medicines
are deservedly popular, have rapid sale,
give general satisfaction, and are kept in
all the principal drug-stores throughout
tAe Western and Southern States. 1t will
be seen that DIR. Easterly does not recon-
mend one medicine to cure all diseases
but prepares remedy for each particular
disease, which can be relied upon to cure.

slight improvement at the Recorders
Court yesterday, yet still scarcely
equal to our expectations or deserv-
ings. The local of the Courier had
taken nap, and tried to dream out
an item, but his ideas were so mud

Bunker Hill Monument was in Egypt
or Hindostan. os. -, ~ ~ -
We expected to find some Wood
there, to answer for beating little
girl, but learned that he had not been
arrested, the police officer not having
been able to find him until he had re-
tired for the night, and being a stran-
ger, he did not think it would be del
icate to invade the sanctity of his bed
chamber, But they have determined
to take him dead or alive, and that
shortly! siDoJ - % aiau@sni3 aa3'ii
But still there was a hope. Three
tender, young damsels, of from thirty
five to forty years, wereranged around
the room at remote angles, each one
glazing ever an anon at the other, as

representatives Of the gentler sex
were accused of having become ineb-
rated on Saturday last, and getting up
an extemporaneous bDonneybrook
Fair, using butcher knives and
smoothing irons for shlllalahs. .no13la
Several witnesses were absent, and
His Honor waited more patiently
than we did for their arrival, but they
came not. 10 One material witness was
in waiting, and having official duties
to perform, could not wait, and by
agreement of parties, his testimony
was taken. He was called on as
peace officer to quell tumult, and
found Miss B. and Mrs O. raging like
wild Amazons, and creating general
row, which had attracted a crowd of
20 to 100 people to witness the scene
Miss B. was bleeding profusely about
the head, and Mrs. G. was preparing
to go for her. He arrested both, and
one of them was subsequently brought
before Squire Walker, on charge of
assault and battery. They were now
arraigned for being drunk and disor-
derby. The other witnesses not being
yet present, the case was continued
until to-day at / clock. qa. 90 i,.tses
Miss B. declined a postponement,
and declared she had come there for
justice, and meant to have it then
and there, or appeal to a higher Court,
and asseverated that she would not
come back again. Mrs. c., by per-
mission of the Court, gave her version
of the affair in an informal manner,
after which, they all rose to depart,
but certain demonstrative motions on
part of a Mrs, K, who was in some
way mixed up in the case, caused Mrs
G. to conclude she had better wait until
the coast was clear The presence of
the City Marshal, however, treasured
her, and she also departed. ~
This closed operations before His
Honor for the day. day the case
will be resumed, and His Honor pro-
poses to let each of the accused make
a speech, and we propose to report
them. ,t3l- .lsa soit.ts sst.uis

WHY. II Is So.-Our most eminent
physicians conineide in the belief
that the remarkable healthiness of
our city during the present season IS
attributable to these several causes:
The filling of the canal, the crawling
and bowldering of the streets, the
extension Of our street. sewers and
the more than ordinary cleanliness of
our streets and the cityyin general.
They agree that three things are
necessary to produce miasma, namely:
heat, moisture and vegetation, any
one of these removed, the miasma
ceases. Reason and common sense
alike teach us that they are correct in
their conclusions, and also favor the
belief that when our sewers are com
pleted and the streets all graveled
and powdered, Evansville will be
the healthiest city in the West.
A reference to our mortuary report
for the month of July, will show the
remarkable sanitary condition of the
city. The whole number of deaths
reported to the Board Of Health is
twenty-six. OF these two were purely
accidental, one of general debility
and four still-born, making the num-
Der who died of actual disease only
twenty, or less than one to every one
thousand inhabitants for the whole
month. OF the multitude of negroes
in the city, many of them in a squal-
i'd condition, only two have died dur
ing the month. May a merciful and
protecting Providence continue to
hover over our city in the future as
in the past
