Mr.. NJ. L. Duplan writes: do not know
that Bulls Worm Destroyer needs any more
recommendations than it has already attain
ed by its own merits, but will state that my
little son, aged about three years, was Sc
verely attacked last fall and winter with
light spasms, or perhaps more properly fits,
lasting from half an hour to one and half
hours; a the same time the child had strong
symptoms of worms. Ny physieian-one
of the best in this part of the country-ex-
hausted all his skill and the Materia Medic
to expel the worms, and entirely failed to
bring sny. thought "John Bull' could
do it, and gave the child the contents Of

had q spasm for over three months, and in

now well aud hearty. John Bull did it,

On Wednesday evening last bloody
affray occurred at the foot of No. 10 is
land, on the Tennessee shore, which re
suited in the killing of three men, Capt
Bob. Lane, his brother, and Mr.. Cul
Edwards, formerly of Gafdner's Station
Tenn. The difficulty was between the
Lane family and the Darnell family, and
was of several months standing Both
sides stood well in their community, bat
were considered brave, and under excite
ment desperate men, and rather too quick
to fight. The quarrel, which has ended
so fatally, we learn, originated between
General Darnell and Capt. Lane, in
reference to a negro man employed on
Darnell's farm, and was from time to
time aggravated by other insults and
grievances, until the whole of their re-
spective kin, and others, became innolv-
ed in the quarrel. Some two months
ago an encounter occurred between Capt.
Lane and one of the young Darnell's,
in which Lane was shot, and seriously
wounded Since that affair the adher-
ents of both parties have kept themselves
constantly armed, both sides asserting
their determination to exterminate the
other on sight, and the community know
ing the belligerent character of the men,
have been in constant state of alarm,
the difficulty to occur any day
for some time past. 1t appears the
Lanes, of whom there were two broth
ers, and Mr.. Edwards, their friend, had
to leave the country tempo
ralrly and abandon for the time the field
to their adyersaries, and had made their
to embark on tbs steamer
Belle of Memphis, which landed at the
foot of Island No. 10, Wednesday last
to take them aboard. We understand
the three young Darnell's, heard or knew
of the purpose of the Lanes to leave on
the Memphis, and armed and equipped,
got on board the steamer above Upton
vile, three miles below the island, it is
said, with the determination of bringing
on the final encounter.
When the boat landed the Darnells
had stationed themselves, one at the head
Of the stairway, and the other two on
the hurricane deck. One of the Lanes,
with his brothers wife and child start
ed on board While he was ascending
the stairs, assisting his sister-in law up,
Dick Darnell, who was standing at the
head of the steps, fired upon him with a
double barrel shot gun, emptying both !,
oads, one passing through his body and
he other through his head, killing him
Instantly. At the same time the other
Darnells opened. fire on Capt. Lati55nyf y

amendments to charters, bills of relief,

State, large or small, that has not been
incorporated, or broken down sheriff,
clerk, or constable, that has not been re-
lieved, or any kind of company whose
charter has not been amended, abridged

hold their peace, for the representatives
of the people have devoted an entire ses-

The proprietor Of this celebrated medi-,
cine Justly claims for it superiority over
all remedies ever offered to the public forl
the safe, certain, speedy, and permanent
cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and FEVER
whether of short or long standing. he re-
fers to the entire Western and Southwest
ern country to bear him testimony to the
truth Of the assertion, that in no case what
ever will it fail TO cure, if the directions are
strictly followed and carried out In .
great many cases q single dose has been
sufficient for q cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with .
perfect restoration OF the general health
it is, however, prudent, and in every case
more certain to cure, If it's use is continued
in smaller doses for week or two after the
disease has been checked, more especially in
difficult and long standing cases Usually,
this medicine will not require any aid to
keep the bowels in good order; should the
patient however, require n cathartic mcdi-
cine, after having taken three or four doses
of the Tonic, single dose Of BULLS VEG
ETBALE FAMILY PILLS will be sufficient.

HIGu.-Much of what is sold in our
market as butter, is not only altitudin-
Gus in price, but Samsonic in it's quail
ties. Just think ofpsying thirty-five to
forty cents a pound for butter stronger
than Dunlevy's bull. Talking about
its general strength, we heard pretty
good story in regard TO sample of the
butter now offered in our market. A
friend Of ours, native of sunny italy
although born in Limerick, aud as pol
ished gentleman and as witty one as
the city holds, was induced to join a
temperance society. To commemorate
the event he got silver medal made
and wore it upon the breast of his vest,
and was very fend of playing with it
while at the table waiting for his plate
to be changed or to he helped to food.
On Sunday he was leaning back in his
chair waiting a change of plates and
was twirliDg his medal as usual, when
his landlady passed him the butter, Of
uncertain age, and asked him to help
himself. 81 can't ate your buther, if
you place, ma'am," he said. Cant eat
it" said the landlady, turning red in
the face; cant cat it, sir~ mo
ma'am. Pin temperance man." "Well,
sir, what hasgour being temperance
man to do with your eating butter 7"
why, you see, ma'am, l have sworn a
big oath never again to take anything
sthrOngj soPll not take any butter" His
bill was ready for him when his meal
was ended.
