Dr. T. ALLcocK-SR: I have been suffering
under severe attack Of neurxigic disease of my
bowels for years, with hypertrephy Of the heart,
and have tried everything known TO the practice
of medicine from the very best NJ. DIS; but
truth prompts me to say that your Plasters have

perfect cure.
The counter-irritant effect of your Plasters is
produced in such a mild and gradual way, thoy
SO invigorate the circulation around the parts
to which they are applied, and exert upon all
nervous diseases such great sedative influence,
that place them confidently at the head of every

tbs President, GRANT AND sICKLKs

The President, GRANT AND SIoKLKs.
An important official correspondence
bet ween the President, Gen. Grant and
Gen. Sickles, relative To the lstter's
course as commander OF the Second
Military District WAS considered in
Cabinet meeting on Friday, and after a
full discussion II was decided TO publish
through the Attorney General, an opin-
ion on ii in order to furnish 40 explana'
ton o. what seems To be contradiction
OF statements, In some of the newspapers,
Of the telegraphic correspondence be-
tween the distinguished officials named.
Gen. Sickles, it appears from this, re-
ceived from Gen, Grant despatch re-
curing him to modify the order known
"a General Order No. 10, and under
which the recent conflict arose between
the military authorities and the officers
OF the United States District Court In
North Carolina who were acting under
the decision of Chief Justice Chase made
at term Of the Court In Raleigh, In
June. Gen. Sickles denies that he has
disobeyed any order OF the President or
Gen. Grant, or issued any permanent in
structions to interfere with civil pro-
cess issuing from United States Court
in his district without having the vir.
tual approval of Gen Grant. When
Gen. Sickles received Grants despa tch
asking modification of the order No,
10. he replied, asking that Grants order
OF suspension might be held in allegiance
until he (Sickles) could explain. Gen,
Grant acquiesced. 10 the meantime an
attempt on the part OF the civil au 'hori-
ties to enforce process was again re-
sisted. The President, it appears from
the correspondence, then directed that
Gen. Sickles should be proceeded against
for violation of the criminal laws OF
the United States, and the United States
District Attorney was directed to pro.
coed against him. Gen. Sickles, on
learning this, telegraphed to Gen. Grant,
denouncing this proceeding In the warm
est manner, and declaring that he was
not amenasle to Grand Juries and Dis
trict Attorneys. The Attorney General
then made up record OF the case and
laid it before the President, wherein pom
al ordsr was issued removing Sickles.

A SUDDEN DEATH-Dea. Daniel Whit.
comb, 8 highly respected citizen Of
POultney, dropped dead st the depot, in
this village, on Saturday last, at ll.30 8.
m. He left Poultney in the morning &C.
companied by his family, arriving here
at 9 O'Clock a. M, with the intention of
visiting an aged sister residing at Ashby,
Mass. While in waiting for the mail
train East he walked about the depot
grounds and was restless, complaining
OF feeling III. After sitting for time
in the depot, he walked out the east door
and almost instantly fell upon the pave
ment. A member OF his family but a
moment afterward discovered him, but
all signs OF life were gone. His age was
10 years. His death must have been
without warning, as he fell forward upon
his face, his hands and cane were under
his body, giving signs that he made no
,YJrt to save himself from falling. He
probably died from disease OF the
heart, as he had been more or less trou.
bled with 1t FOR years. having consulted
Dr.. Goldsmith 10 reference to it some 10
or II years ago. He had been quite
feeble for several months and one object
OF his journey was that he might seek
rest and restoration. The remains were
taken to the Bard we'll House and
properly cared for by friends OF the
family and returned to Poultney on the
4,SO train, In charge OF John Jay Josin,
Esq, who, on learning OF the sad event
came from Poultney to accompany the
stricken family back to their home.
We cannot refrain In chroniclipg this
event to speak of the deceased whom we
have known as friend and neghbor for
many years. He was a humble, quiet
unobtrusive citizens kind neighbor, and
a consistent Christian, respected and
honored by all who knew him. He
had been for more than quarter of
century Deacon OF the CoDgrega.
tional Church. Few individuals live SO
blameless life,-an earnest and devo-
ted Christian, whose example In every
place, on all occasions, at home and
abroad, in the social circle, at his daily
labor or in the public assembly, was a
model Of purity and religion.

sY 1t is said that the shares of the Wash
ington Library Company of Philadelphia are
being disposed of with unexampled rapidity.
The absence of all concealment, the honesty of
purpose manifested by those who first inaugu.
rated the enterprise, the fairness with which
the proposed final distribution is to be con-
Quoted and the patriotic purpose to which the
entire surplus is to be applied, have taken firm
hold upon public confidence. So large have the
sales been thus far that the trustees hope to an
ticipate the time originally fixed for the dis
pensaton of the gifts, amounting to $500, 600,
thus placing the funds collected much sooner
than they expected in q channel to carry out
the noble act of benevolence which was the
object OF their enterprise. All those, therefore,
who desire to participate with them in the
pleasure of doing a coed action should sub
scribe without delay. They will receive at once
q fine engraving, worth at retail more than the
money invested, besides a gift Of such value as
their share may be entitled to in the final dis
tribution. Read the advertisement.

The PRISONERS AT DRY ToRTuGAs "A
letter received at Washington on Friday
from Dry Tortugas says:
"There are but few persons here now
forty five in all-and two thirds Of
them, If not more, are United States
soldiers who have been sent here for
various crimes, principally desertion.
The cOnspirators are lodged, like the
other prisoners, in the second tier of
cssemates. Their quarters are cool, dry
and airy, and command quite as pleas
ant view as there is. They manage
to live pretty well with their government
rations and what their friends send them.
Arnold is employed as clerk and seems
satisfied; Spangler and o Laughlin work
at their trade as carpenters; Mudd
works now in the carpenters shop and
is getting quite handy with the tools.
They are all in excellent health, but are
little thinner than is natural for them.
They have the benefit of the library and
MUD and Arnold read some. On the
whole they are much better off than
they would be anywhere else l believe
certsinly they are better off than any
prisoners | ever saw"

lasted for some time. He arrived at
Washington Thursday night, and OF
course his presence gave rise to many
rumors as to his business. There seems
to be but little doubt but that he Is there
In answer to summons from the Ex'
ecutive and his presence at the Execu-
tive Mansion so soon after his arrival
confirms that impression. Frank p.
Blair, Jr., was also at the White House.
The Chronicle says that Ged. Candy,
who has Just been appointed TO the com.
maud OF the second Military District, Is
said to have remarked, In conversation
with friend, that he was no political
partisan, but he had studied the recon-
struction laws thoroughly and approved
them, and that he considered their
faithful execution ESSENTIAL to the welfare
of the nation. He thought it the duty OF
the Southern people to accept the terms
offered them. He Is also said to have ex-
pressed his appreciation of the utility OF
the Freedmen's Bureau, ana his intention
of giving its agents all proper necessary
aid In the execution of their work.
