Every Violation

OF the laws of health invariably entails its own
punishment, and the warnings administered
by the faithful monitor pain cannot DO neg.
lected with iwpunity. If its admonitions were
needed, and the proper remedy Immediately re-
sorted to, vast amount of suffering would be
prevented, and dangerous diseases averted.
When the head throbs, the lips become parched,
and the cheek is burning-the warning is given;
neglect is then dangerous. In the vast store
house of nature may be found remedies for all
the different maladics that afflict mankind,
without resOrting to psrnicious minerals. The
best of these medicinal agents have been incor.
porated in the preparation known as HOSTEL.
TIERS STOMACH BITTERS, and offered as a
safe remedy to those suffering from the various
Terms of fever. This medicine has steadily and
surely won its way into the confidence of the
public. aud has received the warmest encomi.
inns from the press and people throughout the
Union. As a valuable tonic for the euro of Dys-
pepsia Flatulence, Constipation, and general
nervous debility. IL cannot be- approached. Every
day new cases of its great etiectaTe ohronicled
through our public journals. There il nothing
equal to the enjoyment which the afflicted eN.
perience when using this valuable specific. Its
mild TONE its sure and vigorous action upon a
disordered stomach, and the cleansing of the
entire human body, should recommend II TO all
classes of our community.

Constitution nj Differences.

There are many constitutions 50 inherently
defective in energyI as to derive great benefit
from moderate use Of pure liquor combined
with such vegetable medicines and extracts as
enter into the composition of Roback's Stomach
Bitters and there are many situations in which
even the healthiest derive additional security
from their occasional use.
If healthy persons are exposed to unusual
and continued exertion in confined air, or under
the heat of the sum- or to the influence of de-
pressing watchinlness by travelling, and change
of diet and water, or il residents OF malarlou5
districts or the rank river bottoms of the West
and South, there can be no doubt but careful
use of RcJack'S Stomach BitterS with the food
would sarely be the means OF warding oil actual
disease and euablng them TO bear up unaffected
where, without the Bitters, they would likely
have to succumb to disease. They strengthen,
tone and invigorate, aid digestion and increase
the appetite. Sold by all druggists everywhere

Herribie Tragedy in virginia-A
Kensg Girl scdueed and murdercd
By Baptfsf Presehcr % s #
We learn from gentleman from
Orange some details of one of the most
horrible murders committed in that
county, we have ever beeS called upon
to record. The victim was young
white girl, named Louisa Lumsden, and
her murderer is supposed to be q man
named Herndon, a. Baptist preacher.
The girl lived in the house of Herndon,
in the lower part of Orange, and is said
to have been seduced by him. She dis
appeared some three weeks since, and
mo- trace of Eher could he foundEuntil
Friday last, when a. neighbor, who was
hunting uear the house of Herndon, had
his attention attracted by the singular
actions of his dog, who showed great
excitement at something concealed in .
large pile of rocks, f... r.....a
y Curiosity led the gentleman to ascer-
tain what caused the dogs singular ae-
tions, and upon removing the rocks the
corpse Of the missing girl was found hid
under them, with her head entirely sew
cred from her body, her stomach cut
open, and her unborn infant removed
from it! In the pocket of her dress was
found letter, without signature, pro-
posing that she elope with the writer,
This letter, we learn, has been iaentitied
as in the handwriting of HerDdon, who
was Immediately arrested and taken to
Orange court house, and lodged in jail.
His trial was in progress when the train
passed the court house yesterday, but
we have not learned the result.
This certainly is one of the most ter
ribly Gendish and atrociOus murders ON
record in this State, and has its parallel
only in the annals Of the most blood
thirsty SaYages. -s..7z..--..a-

ANOTHER MECHANIC.

We take pleasure in calling attention to
another mechanic on the democratic city
ticket-Mr. VIM. s, Phillips, for alderman
in the First ward, a carpenter and house
joiner, and most excellent gentleman. He
represented the First ward two years in the
council, and was highly respected by all.
lie is young man, industrious, careful and
upright in all his actions. The only objection
we have heard urged against him is the one
made by the Union, viz; that he is a mem
Der of the United Presbyterian Church.
Whether the people of the First ward will
consider this so serious an objection as to
cause them to vote against him is yet to be
seen.
The location of Mr. Phillips is one which
should be considered. He resides in the lower
part of the ward, near the plow factory, saw
mills, paper mill, &c, &c, where improved
roads and streets are needed, and Mr. Phil
ips is just the man to secure appropriations,
for that purpose.
Mr.. Phillips is a liberal, fair,minded, up
right citizen, aud fair representative of the
people. He does not belong to the bond
holding, or speculating class, but earns his
bread by hard work, at his trade, and he
ought to have the sympathy of all. If elect,
ed he will devote his earnest efforts to the
interests of his ward, and the people there
viii have no cause to regret that they made
him their representative.

FOR MAYOR:
BENJAMIN II. KIMBALI..
STAND BY THE REGULAR TICKET.

Until recently the democratic candidates
for city offices were generally agreed on by
an informal consultation among democrats,
and brought out by announcement in the
papers-a course acquiesced in by the party
generally, but still one which did not give
universal satisfaction. 1t was argued by
some that there was no party obligation to
support them because they were not regular
ly nominated-and the persons who some
times voted against particular men, emphat-
ically declared that they woald support the
very same men, if they were regularly NOM
mated. The party has, therefore, adopted
the system of regular nominations, and now
all our candidates are regularly and fairly
nominated, and of course every democrat
feels in duty bound TO sustain them. This
is the only way party success can be attain.
ed. United, the democracy can overcome
all opposition. Divided they are an easy
prey to the radicals. Let every man who
is opposed to the further wicked rule of the
radicals in this country, stand by the regu
democratic ticket, and not scratch a single
name. By this course they can achieve q
glorious victory-one that will gladden. the
hearts of their brethren everywhere. By di
visions and defeat they will dishearten theil
triends both at home and abroad.

ONLY "a Little Dizzv F,

1t turns out that Grant wasn't drunk on
a recent Sunday after all, as stated by the
editor of the Ladependent-he was only
made "a little dizzy by Gen. Phil. Sheri-
dams whiskey. At least so says 'loyar
correspondent of the "loyal" Detroit Tri-
bune.-We quote.
"a month ago on Sunday afsernoon,the Gen
erai called upon Gen. Sheridan. The last
named General as sis everywhere known, is a
hard arlnker. You 'disoiP' cuss to say such
things OF one OF the nations idols!1 Gen. Grant
scarcely takes drop of anything mo "drops"
for him.l On this occasion, however, Sheridan
Persaaded him %, you naughty, persuasive
Phil ! to drink with him. and the Immediate ra-
suit was that he (Gen. Grant, became Lttre
dizzy, and took a carriage home.''
That's what's the matter-only little
dizzy-not drunk, as anybody else, espee,
tally copperhead, would have been, in the
same condition. Good-frst rate.

The N. Y. Herald's London cable dis
patch states that at meeting Tuesday even
ing John Bright spoke strongly in favor of
the government policy and power of Ameri
can people and Of England's duty of culti-
vation of friendly relations with them if the
British government and English people had
acted rightly during the late war in Ameri-
ca. No power on earth could have aIieyat-
ed the two nations in feeling or separated
them IN interest. Bright expressed his firm
belief that all prominent questions of diff
Guilty between the two countries would be
amicably settled.
Rev. Newman Hall stated the nature and
probable extent of the Alabama claims

bill was paid. He would advise settle
ment by arbitration in the manner proposed
by or agreed to by the United States.
The following resolution was proposed

most hearty good win toward America, and pled-
