A Bloody scheme.

As faithful historians Of current events,
VIC are called upon to place upon record
diabolical scheme, and one calculated to
spread terror and excitement among large
portion Of our people.
Our readers will remeinbcr that few
days since wo copied from the Harrisburg
State Guard (thc Governors organ, ali
item reciting that an enormous alligator had
passed through that place on special train,
Consigned to citizen Of Williamsport y
On the next day we received dispatches
stating that it was feared that foul play was
intended.
Accordingly, for the last four days our en-
tire force of reporters have been on the
look out, but met with no success until last
evening, when the dangerous animal was
found on the premises Of DR.. John p Nc
Collum, on Park avenue, in this city,
1t appears that DR.. McCollum has for the
past two years resided at Wapwalopin, in
the State of Florida, and was II. G. n. G..
C. of the Ku Klux Klan Of the United
States. Some of his cmissarics had SUE
cccded in training an immense alligator
twenty-six feet long, 80 that he wa! used as
an instrument Of vengeance upon all con
dcmned negroes and radicals, who were sent
to that place for execution, from all points.
Since the great success Of the rcconstruc-
ton measures, and the great unanimlty dir
played throughout the South in favor Of
Grants proposed peace to be attained by
the Congressional peace establishment Of
2lS thousand troops, the atmosphere Of
Florida has been too loyal, and the klux
compelled to disperse. The Doctor came to
this point and brought his grim eSecu,ioner
with him.
Last night fourteen negroes and two other
members of the Grant Club were missing,
and there is no doubt that, they have been
made away with in the manner indicated.
A small son of the Doctors said tha. "wo
don't feed the alligator anything, but he
picks up his wittles in the night, which
confirms us in our opinion. What is more
diabolical is that the fierce animal is kept
only half square from the residence of the
president of the Grant Club.
The president has number of small chill
dren, as has the editor OF the Daily Radical
Handbill who is especially marked out for
destruction.
Our reporter who has feelings Of private
friendship for many of tho leading radicals,
has cndeavored to procure the services OF!
the mayor and police force in order to pre-
serve the lives Of the ''loil' people of the
Fourth and neighboring wards, but has been
unsuccessful. Let the people rise en- massc
and call upon the hero of Snickerville to
send troops for the protection of his loyal
subjects. - |rIliamsport Standard.

Soldiers SOlllOauy.

Three white MANNED soldiers visited ou
Borough one day this week, with their or
gan, cndeavoring by the late popular Johr
Brown airs that so warmed the hearts o
our citizens towards the dear negroes, tt
gain the ears and Il few pennies from til,
trooly loyal-the bondholder and the patri
otto; but ears that were open to the claims
of the negro, pockets that were unlocked
for the purchase of bonds, and eyes that
were wet when they or their sons were
drafted, were all scaled; and when nigh,
came, those manned soldiers had no where
to lay their heads. Hotels demanded the
dollar, but they could not pay; finally for.
tune threw them to John CAROLS White
Hall, where they were kindly provided for.
Finding no sympathetic friends here, among
the ''loyal,' they shook the dust from theil
feet and left us by the early train, coming
over the following soliloquy:

NEWS, POLITICS, LITERATURE.
An excellent Paper for Country Reading.
ITS POLITICS DEMOCRATIC
~ IN THE GREAT FIGHT '2
AGAINST RADICAL UsURPATION.
TO TIE People OF THE soU4H.

TO TIE PEOPLE OF THE SOUTH.
THE WEEKLY GLEANER-Devoted to
the rehabilitation of the South in it's former
prosperity-is offered to subscribers at the
low rate of s1.50 for six months. !, .g-
The annals Of the American Republic
show no political campaign comparable in
the magnitude of it's issues and the mo-
Nervousness Of its results to that for the
Presidency, now pending. Indeed, the
very life of free government Is on trial.
and it will be a sad commentary on the
capacity of the people for the exercise of
that high trust if they, the jurors who arc
to try the issue, pronounce verdict of
self-condemnation. IF the South has any
hope it is in the success of the Democratic
party in the coming Presidential election:
and every citizen is vitally interested in
the progress of the battle, and cannot
afford to be without sound and reliable
newspaper.
AS an organ, not only of sound Demo,
cratic principles, but as vehicle of, ge-
neral news, the CLEANER is confidently
commended to Southern support. A large
eight-page paper, of forty-eight columns,
filed with the contributions of able cor
respondents, the daily wealth of tele-
graphic communication and readable edi-
torials Especially will it be valuable as
an organ to disabuse the Northern mind
of the falsehoods in relation to Southern
thought and actions, with which it is the
industrious vocation of certain parties to
poison the springs OF Northern feeling on
Southern subjects. In this view of the.
matter, no more valuable aid to the true
reconstruction of the country and restora-
tion of just sentiment at the North toward
the South can be rendered than by SUBJ
scribing to the WEEKLY CLEANER and
sending it to acquaintar ces and friends in
the Northern States.
We ask the aid of such Of our political
comrades as shall see this prospectus, in
the distribution of the paper; especially
during tho progress of the impending
campaign. ~ = *

a Great Spring and Summer
INVIGORATOR AND RESTOR


NOV Is THE TIME TO CLEANSE OUT
IN those rERILOUs SPOTS, Pimples,
corrupt sores. which POLLUTE the LIFE
of the BLOOD, and render your body n
loathesome thing. They are the precur-
sors of diseased blood, and will assume
a much more formidable shape if allowed
to go on unchecked. The QUEENS DE-
LIGHT, the only real blood purifier that
has ever been invented, as thousands will
to-day attest, is offered to the afflicted as
a positive remedy for all diseases flowing
from a vitiated condition of the system.
THE LIFE OF THE FLESH Is PURE
BLOOD. Upon this theory alono the in
ventor of the Queens Delight establishes
the great hygienic law, WITHOUT PURE
EASE. The Pale and Shrunken Forms,
Yellow Faces. Weak Stomachs, Diseased
Livers, Crippled Rheumatics, Nervous
Hypochondriacs, Dyspeptic Victims of
Headache, 80 common in this country, is
owing entirely to the humors of the blood
bad blood, Scrofula or Kings Evil, Erysi-
pelas, Exauthema or Elevure, q rash or
| eruption on females; Blotches, letter,
Goitre or Swelled Neck, Syphilis and Sy-
philitic Sores, Strumous Ulcers, &C.
These cannot be cured without purifying
the blood. Now as to the remedy. There
is no other blood purifier that will accom-
as Heinitsh's Queens Delight. You may
take a barrel of extract Sarsaparila, and
still you will not be cured; and, as a proof
| of it, look around and you will observe the
country, throughout its length and
breadth, is flooded with compound Sarsa-
parlilas, extracts and syrups, claiming to
be blood purifiers, and yet we see to-day
moro evidence Of impurity Of the blood
than ever. Why is this? Simply because
these extracts and Sarsaparillas are worth
less medicines.
The Queens Delight is new compound,
and is now the great blood medicine; sane.
toned by the profession, patronized by the
by everybody.
In the brief period of twelve months,
over 5000 cases have been treated so sue
cessfully as to entitle it to be the wonder
of the age.
For debility, prostration, nervousness,
mental depression, impaired digestion,
loss OF appetite, restlesness, want OF vital
force. Low spirits; it is more invigorat-
ing and strengthening than all the COM
pounds of bark or bitters. AS q liver
inyigOrator, it is OF inestimable value. AS
O. stimulant, it is safer and surer than all
the rum and whiskey tonics Of the day,
and if you value your life and health
lants to the grave and use the Queens
Delight: Ask for Heinitsh's Queens De-
light. This is not the Extract Of Stellin-
gia or Queens Delight. nor is it a Com
pound Syrup of Queens Delight. or Sarsa-
parilla and Queens Delight, but simply
Heinitsh's Queens Delight is the trade
mark. Ask for this if you want to be
cured, and SEQ that the name of L. II.
Heinitsh is on the wrapper. Prepared only
by E. II. Heinitsh. Wholesale agents,
