@ The news from Eastern Eu-

broken out between Turkey and

ES Amongst Atlantic Gables, steam
navigation and those progressions of
science and art that mark the nine
teenth century, not the least useful,
are DR.. Ayers medicines. They take
rank among the benefactions of man
kind, from the rapidity and certainty
with which they cure. Try Ayers
Cherry Pectoral on a cough and it is
gone. What skin diseases or impuri-
ties of the blood withstand Ayers Sar-
saparilla ? Ayers Pills are the per-
fection of purgative-every family
should have them as almost every fam
lily does. Not a trifle to be thankful
for are good medicines and the knowl-
edge how to use them for protection
from disease. These DR.. Ayers prep
arations and publications furnish, and
we do not hesitate to commend them.

Editor BoSSier Banner = In an |

the caption, ''Outrages in country
Parishes" appears the following
paragraph, viz:
81. W. Baker, Bellevue, La,
July 18th, 1868, states that he
hears threats of assassination
that his son was assaulted ON the
Goth instant, by a squad of cut,
lhrOats, in the presence of the
Sheriff, who did not interfere to
protect him. The bodies of MUIR
dered negroes have been found in
various places in the parish"
I am the Sheriff of Bossier par
ish, and l pronounce the assertion
that L. W. Bakers "sOn was as
saulted ON the Goth instant, Tor.
any other time) by squad of cut
Threats, in the presence of the
Sheriff, who did not interfere to
protect" a falsehood, as is fully
shown by the affidabits appended
below.
How much credit the other as
sertions of L. w. Baker contained
in said paragraph are entitled to,
may be readily inferred, from the
total lack of truth in the one I
now notice.
In conclusion, / will add that i
would not trouble myself to con-
tradict any assertion made by L.
W. Baker, if he wereas well known
elsewhere as he is in the parishes
of BOssier and Claiborne.

~ The main staple in all the
Radical speeches is an effort to
keep up a feeling of hatred in the
minds of the people of the North
against those of the South. The
fires of discord which were lighted
during the war must not be per
mitted to burn out. On the con.
trary, they must be fired with
fresh material, and kept continu-
ally blazing. In this atrocious
work they display a malignancy
that is worthy of a devil incarnate.
