his father, Jno P. Cook, was dangerously III
at the ST. Nicholas Hotel, New York, and he
Immediately thereupon started for that city.
Upon his arrival there he was overjoyed to
find his father out of danger, and SO far re-
covered as to be able tostart for home, which
they did-arriving in town By this morning s

PoLIoE.-Wm. Cameron, who has no
home, no family, no friends, and is about So
or 40 years old, and says his last residence
was in Knox county, got too much whisky
on board his craft last night, and she went
down. Policemen Schrader and McConkie
fished him up and took him to Jail. This
morning Esq. Sweeney fined him S. and
costs. He only had $3.50 which he paid over
and left, promising to pay the balance.
Thomas Cavanaugh, from Cordova, a
blacksmith, hunting job, found too many
friends who were willing to drink as often as
he would treat. The result of his generosity
soon had such an effect on him that he got
noisy and the night police trotted him off to
the lookup. This morning he generously
contributed S. to the city treasury, and made
all the officers small present besides. He
is generous mana little too free with his
money, and treats oftener than his turn
He viii be more careful in future.

Terdict Of the FacnIty-Stimulants

The most distinguished physicians in the
United states have recently been placed

voice, declared that pure stimulants are
valuable medicinal agents. The decision
of the faculty refers especially 10 medical
ed stimulants, of which the purest and
the best at present known is HOSTEL
TIERS STOMACH BTrTERS- Its basis is
the alcoholic principle of the finest rye
grown IN the United States, and its herbal
ingredients comprise the extracts of
large number of lants, barks, and roots
produced IN various parts of the world,
and all noted in the countries TO which
they are indigenous for their powerful
sanative properties. AS an invigOrant ana
tonic the value of the BitteTs can scarcely
be overrated. Hence its extraordinary
effect In fever and ague and intermittents
and remittents of every type. It's anti
bilious properties are marvellous Per-
sons of bilious habit, by taking small

He was taken IN charge by some of
