RICHMOND, August 81, 1866.
Dear Sir,-l feel bound TO acquaint you OF the
worst kind Of dyspepsia, which / have been af-
ficted With for the last five years, which feared
would terminate in consumption. After my ply
sician became despaired, then was persuaded
to seek relief from Bakers Premium Bitters,
which did, and after the use OF the four bottles
purchased Of you became as well as ever was
in my life. My doctor remarked it had batted his
skill. Nothing disagreeing with me in my diet.
! believe there are remedies for all diseases, but
We all err in yielding to the confidence Of our
physicians Respectfully, WILLIAM b. GOODS.

MAYORS CoURT-THURsDAY- MAYOR
MAYO PREsIDING.-Mrs. Rosine Harris was
arraigned to answer charge of beating
and assaulting Mrs. J. Major. The latter
is a respectable dressmaker, who, having
performed piece of work for Mrs. Harris,
called upon her employer for payment.
Mrs. Harris, however, as the plaintiff al
leges, not only refused to pay the stipula-
ted price, but attacked the dressmaker in
a very violent manner, smashing her bon
net, tearing her dress, and otherwise ex-
hibiting her temper. The accused denied
the whole story, and brought witness to
swear to all she said. His Honor, however,
advised Mrs. Major to seek her rights by
civil action, and dismissed the case.
Thomas Briggs, colored, brought up for
disorderly conduct in Lumpkin's alley,
was required to give security for his good
behavior.
John Bell and William Sterling, charged
with breaking up and attempting to steal
an iron wheel, valued at about three hum
dred dollars, the property of Robinson &
Beall, were committed in default Of bail.
Five young men were implicated in the
transaction, but three Of them escaped
from the policeman who made the arrest.

CURIOUS ExPLosIoN.-Yesterday after
noon a gentleman, upon returning home
to his dinner, placed his latch key in his
door, and in an instant was much startled
by an explosion equal to the report of a
pistol, which scattered the bunch Of keys
in his hand in every direction, knocked
the button off his glove, and hurt his hand
very badly. On examining the lock, no.
thing wrong could be discovered about it,
and the only manner in which this mystic
rious blow-up could be accounted for was
by tracing it to chemical causes. 1t is
supposed to have been caused by thermo-
electric current, developed by the contact
of two different metals-that of the key
and that of the lock-in heated condi-
ton, which makes an explosion partaking
somewhat Of the nature of shock from an
electric battery.
