THRILLING ScEN.-On Tuesday
night; as the juvenile concert was
about to commence, large tempora-
ry staging and raised seats, filed
with nearly two hundred children,
gave way, and came crashing to the
floor with IFS. precious load. The
scene which followed cannot he de

brothers and sisters, rushing for
ward, amid pandemonium OF
Iscreams--some fainting; others in
Mysteries.
Upon examination, 10 the relief OF
all, it was ascertained that no inju-
ries were sustained aside from few
slight scratches and bruises.
1t was most Providential that
none were killed, and is almost un.
accountable how all escaped so for.

The upper scat, filed with chill.

floor.
No blame can be attached to any
one, rs it was supposed by all who
saw the structure that it was fully
strong enough for the purpose.

CHANGE OF TIME.--The Branch
road, or its managers at headquar-
ters are very tickle. The train now
leaves at six o'clock in the morning
just the hour when most people roll
over for another snooze. This
change is very provoking, and we
hope it will not hold for great
length of time.

JUVENILE CoNCERT-The juvenile
concert under the direction of Mrs.
+. Asire. came off on Tuesday night
last, and, considering the disad-

consequence Of the falling OF the
temporary stage. it was a success
Mrs. Asire deserves great credit for
the manner in which she has trained
so many voices in so short time.
Many of the pieces rendered were
quite difficult, but in nearly every
case the parts were well sustained.
Owing to the length of the bill
another entertainment was given last
night. .. -. .

TAXATION OF HoMEsTEADs.-Th law re-
quires homestead settler to occupy and
cultivate the land for five years before he
can acquire Il title. The question has been
raised whether the improvements made by
the settler within that time can be taxed be-
fore the title is passed to him. The Com
missioner of the General Land Office i'll an
opinion on the subject, says: eff quail
fed settler goes upon the land. resides there
and cultivates the tract for the full term of
five years, the Government stipulates that he
shall, on paying n small fec, get complete
title. The consideration is mainly n labor
consideration, stipulated not only for the in
terest of the claimant but for the benefit of
the State. The statute, in virtue of the
Sixth Article of the Constitution, is the SUI
preme law of the land. 1t cannot, therefore,
be rendered imperative or abridged by such
an exercise of the taxing power as would de-
feat the privilege conferred upon the settler.
The spirit and purpose of Congress in this
respect is clearly manifested in the fourth
section of said Act of May 90, 1862, which
declares that no lands acquired under the
provisions of this act shall, in any event, be-
come liable to the satisfaction of any debt or
debts contracted prior TO the issuing OF the
patent thereof. 1t is the generous purpose,
then. of the United States, through the Ma
tional Legislature, to protect settlers in their
homes under the law until their titles reach
maturity. '-LnterndL Recenue Record.

of the right remedy. Take Ayers Pills, and
cleanse out the disordered humors-purify the
blood, and let the fluids move on unobstructed in
health again. They stimulate the functions ofthe
body into vigorous activity, purify the system
from the Instructions which make disease. A
cold settles somewhere in the body, and deran-
ges its natural functions. These, if not relieved,
react upon themselves and the surrounding
gans, producing general aggravation suffering
and arrangement. While in this condition, take
Ayers Pills, and see how directly they restore
the natural action of the system, and with it the
buoyant feeling of health again. What is true
and so apparent in this trivial and common COM
plant is also true in many of the deep-seated and
dangerous distempers. The same purgative effect
expels them. Caused by similar Instructions.
and arrangements of the natural functions of the
body, they are rapidly and many of them surely
cured by the same means. None who know the
virtue of these Pills will neglect to employ them
when suffering from the disorders they cure
such Headache, Foul Stomach, Dysentery,
Bilious Complaints, Indigestion, Derangement of
the Liver, Costiveness, Constipation, Heartburn,
Rheumatism, Dropsy, Worms and Suppression,
when taken in large doses.
They are Sugar-coated, so that the most sensi-
tive can take them easily, and they surely the
best purgative medicine yet discovered.

If Gen. Dockery occupies the position that
we do, we beg permission to modestly say
that Gen. Dockery is right But in forming
an opinion as to the right course to pursue,
we do not take into consideration Gen.
Dockery's or any other mans position-we
look at the situation as it is, and calculate
what may happen hereafter; and after ma
ture reflection we repeat that. if the Presi-
dent fails in the Northern elections to secure
power sufficient to maintain or enforce his
policy. we would prefer the adoption OF the
proposed amendment rather than run the
risk of being left to the mercy of the next
Congress, and having confiscation enforced,
Il Provisional Governor appointed, and our
country garrisoned and plundered'by militia
ry bands.
We do not intend to quarrel with any one
about this matter. We are friend of the
Presidents policy-we have done in all our
power to strengthen that policy-but sup
pose we cannot get what we want, what then
Is it not our duty to accept of the least OF
two evils ? We are a conquered people, and
our conquerors have it in their power, If we
do not accept of the proposed amendment,
to compel us to submit to Mr.. Thad. Stevens
scheme of contiscation, negro voting, &c,
which will not only degrade but ruin every
man, black and white, in the South.
1t will be remembered that in 1851 we all
said we would not do so and so, and in 1865
the people of the South generally declared
that they would never submit to the subJu-
cation and such treatment. But 1T Is GER
tain that we have been compelled to do the
very things we said we would not do and
many who talked most and loudest about
not submitting were the first to 6 cave in"
Therefore, considering the uncertainty of the
times, and our past experience, we suggest
that it is premature and imprudent to de-
clare what we will do and what we will not
do. Every one of our public men should re-
main unpledged, and be free to do what he
may honestly believe will save his constltu-
ents from trouble and promote their welfare.
