PLANTATION BITTERs.

This splendid Tonic is now used by all classe:
of people for every symptom of "Stomach out
of order.'
The secret of it is this Plantation Bitters are
certain to correct the juices of the Stomach, set all
its machinery at work, and enable it to resist and
throw off the approaching danger. The tendency
of the operations of Nature is always towards q
cure all she needs is little assistance at the
proper time. How much more reasonsible and
sensible it is to help her along with gentle, YET
powerful Tonic, than to delnge and weaken. and
defeat her curative processes with poisonous drugs
and fiery mixtures, which only stupefy and plant
the seeds of disease and death.

of the killing of white man by Chinaman
near that place:
1t appears that three men were seen this
morning going down toward where a COM
pany of about sixteen Cinnamon are working
in the bed of the river Subsequently, two Of
them were seen to ford the river about where
the Chinamen were working, and about the
same time the third one made one or two
attempts to rob some of them and shot at
and dangerously wounded another. He
then started down the river to the ferry.
about a quarter of mile bel low, was put
across and started up the road on the Gala
veras side. The Chinamep by this time had
armed themselves and some ten or twelve of
thea forded the river, and running up the
hillside, gained the road ahead of the de-
ceased. and shot him before he could make
any defense. Parties from the ferry at once
crossed over and hurried up the road to
where the wounded man was, and found him
lying in the road with five bullet holes in him.
a terrible stab in the neck and bleeding pro-
fuseIy lie called on them to help him; but
before they could ascertain his name or where
he was from, life was extinct.
