MONUMENTAL ASSOCIATION OF GREEN
BRIER COUNTY. This society was formed
for the purpose of perpetuating the memo
ry of the Confederate dead. Mr.. James
Withrow and Captain NJ. B. White, citizens
of our place, each with generous liberality
offered to present to the association suita-
bic lots upon the hills west of, and over
looking the town. The committee upon
examining the grounds decided in favor of
the one offered by Mr.. Withrow on account
of its accessibility .-Lerisbny Times.

FerncluS calls disease an affection of
the body, contrary to nature; a purtuba-
ton of its habit arrangement of its
courses. What disease is, sometimes
cudcS human intelligence but some dis
eases are known-their origin, action, and
even their antidOtes. Whoever has dis
covered an actual remedy for one disease,
has done something for his race. Doctor
Aver has done more, for his medicines
afford lis the means to control and cure
several dangerous disorders. We rarely
speak on medical subjects, prcierring to
leave them to physicians, who under
stand them better. But such effects as
are seen in our midSt-on affections Of the

Our readers are familiar with the gene
raj statement of facts relating to the case
of George Peet, the hotel proprietor at the
foot of Owasco Lake, Cayuga county, who
was arrested some months since for the
murder of his wife by poison, but broke
Jail and escaped TO Canada, where he was
rcarrestcd not long afterwards. After the
usual delay, he was delivered up by the
Canadian authorities on the requisition OF
Governor FentOn, and on Thursday eve
ming reached this city in custody OF two
officers named Sydney Mead and .. II. van
Etten. A woman who has been Pccts par
amour arrived on the same train. me
marty took rooms at the Wayerly House.
In the office Peet recognized and conyersed
with a gentleman named King, who IS SAID
10 be his brother-in-law but who did not
seem to be particularly fattered by the pri-
soner'snotice. Peet remarked that his was
a hard case. and attributed his trouble 10
| his family connections.
| The officers, with their charge, took the
$50 train for Auburn yesterday morning;
| The woman above referred to accompanied
them. and. as we are informed, was per
mitted to hold quite long conversation
| with the prisoner, in the course OF which
| he handed her his watch and over NIFTY d"l,
lars in money. After the train had passed
| Canandaigua, Peet asked permission to 60
| into the water closet, which was granted
his custodians neglecting the precautlon oil
going with him. He did not return, and at
| length his long seclusion excited attention,
and one of the officers went to see what
| had become of him. When the door was
opened a horrible sight presented itself
| The floor was covered with blood, and Peet
was discovered with his throat cut from ear
to ear. He was already at the point OF
death, and lived but few minutes longer
The instrument with which he committed
sclfdcstruction was a razor, which is sup
posed to have been furnished him by hit
female friend. The body was taken tG

but the result was certainly not one to be

A STRANGE SHEEP.-Mr. Samuel Swartz,
of Rockingham, has a lamb not yet year
old which yields seven pounds of wool,
the average length Of which is one foot.
The lamb weighs sixty pounds. We have
some of the wool in our office. What is
even more remarkable than the length and
weight of its fleece, is the fact that it was
for some time very black, and is now white.

THEN AND Nova rather amusing
account is told of an examination Of two
negroes in county below Columbus. For
some offence they were required to give n
bond or go to Jail. Court would not meet
in several months. Negroes couldn't give
bond, and said they would rather take a
whipping than 60 to Jail. Justices, after
much persuasion on their part, consented
that the darllieS could take the hiding, pro
yided they would find somebody to do it.
A man was found. Darkics prepared them
selves for the lashing. Man wouldn't whip
unless he was paid. DarkicS asked charges.
Three dollars and a quarter. Wouldn't
strike lick without the funds. Money
forked over, and the warming, delivered in
good style, chcerfully taken. When turned
loose, freedmen remarked, ode Buro
haint done we uns no good" Before the
Bureau started up, they said when they
stole anything they got a hiding, and all
was over. Now they had to pay or he sent
to Jail, and if they asked for whipping in
the place of such punishment, they had to
pay somebody to do it. Darkics didn't
exactly understand such "doinS. "-Cohw,-

cases against the freedmen "a very neat
style of punishment is to impose fine and
allow the freedmen to work it off on the

THE New SUNDAY LAW IN New YORK.
On Sunday, for the first time, the liquor
saloons of New York and Brooklyn were
closed in accordance with the provision OF
the new excise law. There was, as far as
could be ascertained, the fullest compli-
ance with the law. As consequence,
thousands of citizens adjourned to Ford
ham, fremont, Morrisania, and Jersey, or
any place where there was possible
chance of imbibing. Many also procured
a supply of liquor on Saturday, and passed
the Sabbath in putting it out Of sight. But
there were no drunken men upon the
streets, and the city was as quiet as could
be desired by the most ultra Sabbatarian.

REMEDY FOR CHoLERA.-The following

paper remedies, but this one seems harm
less:
"The preventive is Simple-a tcaspoonful
of powdered charcoal taken three or four
times a week, in a cup of coffee or other
liquid in the morning. When attacked
with cholera, a mixture of an ounce OF
charcoal, an ounce Of laudanum, and an
ounce Of brandy or other spirits, may be
given as follows, after being well shaken
