All interested, please read the following extract
from a letter from Mrs. Ella B. Mason, wife Of
Rev. Francis Mason, Tounghoo, Birmah:
My son was taken violently sick with diphthe-
ria, cold chills, burning fever and sore throat.
counted one morning ten little Yescles IN his
throat, very white, and his tongue, toward the
root, just like a watermelon, full of seeds; the
remainder coated thick knife blade. So
many children have died around here, l was
afraid to call physician, and thought | would
try your Pain Killer for gargle, with small do
ses inwardly. l did So, and the gargle invariably
cut off the vesicles and he raised them up, often
covered with blood. He was taken on Sunday,
on Wednesday his throat was clear and his ton
que rapidly clearing off. I also used it as lini
ment, with castor oil and harsh0rn, for his neck
1t seemed to me wonderful cure, and can but
wish it could be known to the many poor moth
ers in our land who are losing so many children
by this dreadful disease.
l have found your Pain Killer one OF the most
valuable me dicines ever used in Burmah- Once
l was sUung by very large black scorpions; the
pain was indescribable. 1 Immediately applied
/ the Pain Killer (tor never travel without IL
| again and again, and in half an hour my tool

A CURIOUS WILL CAsE.-The Co
lumbus, Ga, Times, reports singu-
lar will case now before the courts
there. Owen Thomas, who died sew
eral weeks ago, left only one will that
could be found, and that was made in
1852. In it he desired that about %
of his negroes be carried by his exec
utor, after his death, to Liberia, as
they might elect, and there be set free
they and their posterity forever
He then desired the residue of his
property, including some sixty other
negroes, who also were his slaves, to
be reduced to money. He required
that his debts, which are small, his
executors and the expenses of trans
portation of the negroes to be freed,
be first paid, and then desired the re-
mainder of the funds to be divided
among the negroes thus set free-and
divided in specified proportions, on
their arrival at their new homes
There now remain nineteen negroes
who claim the property of the deceas
ed under this will, which his relations
are endeavoring to break. The es-
state is worth at least $4,000, and
may exceed this sum by many thous
ands. Mr.. James K. Redd, the only
surviving executor of the will, who
presented it for probate, testifes that
Mr.. Thomas had often said to hin
that he no longer considered the doc
ument his will, and that he was no
longer the executor to carry out its
provisions, and that he had made an
other to suit altered circumstances. IS
The will conflicts with the law of
Georgia passed in 1859, making it i'm
possible for negro to be free by will
and has conditions now impossible to
be fulfilled. Whether recent procla
nations freeing slaves render this law
nugatory, or what effect they may
have on the conditions, are among
the many matters to be considered
Eminent lawyers are engaged on thu
case.

Large quantities of liquor have been

has headed off that practice by max.

in any such way. Stage drivers and
all such persons will stake notice and
govern themselves accordingly
Here is the law.

ResoLued, by the Senate and House
Of Representatives That it is with great
pleasure that they have this day re-
ceived copy of the laws of the Cher
okee Nation, published in the English
language, and that they recognize in
this mark of Indian civilization, the
promise of an ultimate reconciliation
OF all the wild tribes of the plains, TO
the gentle restraints of law and order,
and to a pursuit of the arts Of peace.
And that the Governor be, and here
by is, requested to transmit to the
Cherokee Nation, through Lieut.. ).
P. Jocelyn, of the Regular Army, a
copy of the General Statutes Of this
State; also, copy Of this joint reso-
luton.
We are informed that III the laws
referred to, on one page it was provi
ded that if any person should steal d
horse, mule, or jack, he should receive
for the first ofenSe, forty lashes, and
for the second offense should suffer
death 10y hanging while on the oppo
site page, rape and adultery were
punished by twenty lashes, which may
be taken, we suppose, as fair indica
ton Of the comparative esteem il
which the Indian holds his horse anC
his wife. We can hardly advise
Lieut.. Jocelyn to marry among tht

The Times man, who is doubtless accus.

that the motive Of our exposure of thai

plainly manifest to give 1t any point OF
force,' and proceeds to refer to his in.
fuence % in defeating 'a certain grand
speculation" This is news to US. In the
fret place the editor of this paper never
felt any especial interest in any such spec
ulation as the Times man refers to, and
secondly the Times man. must have been in
one of bis joking moods when he imagined
that the influence Of Fellows was sufficient
to pass or defeat any measure before a
Legislature, or any other political
body unless it be the council
Of the village Of Jefferson, where he has
succeeded in becoming an Alermau after
long career of ofiee-hnniing. We never
have occasion to evoke hidden motives. and
we shall always use plain and honest lau-
gnage in dealing with such fellows as Eel
lows, as the Times man may become be-
fore long convinced.
We stated yesterday, and we repeat it
now, that we selected the case of Fellows
because that gentleman has been conspieu-
