Family Fends in 1he Sonth.

Corsiean vendettas alone furnish paral-
lei TO the deadly feuds which exist among
certain Southern families. The Bottoms
and Dickenses, Of Memphis, have been
quarreling for twelve years, sometimes re-
sorting to the courts of law, but more fre-
quently using the pistol aud bowie knife
The 4cdtancbe Of that city, relates what is
called characteristic incident" in which
the two chiefs Of the families participated
Ii appears that one night last may, Colonel
Dickens was wounded by an unknown per-
son who entered his residence, suddenly ex.
tinguished the light, and commenced firing
lndlscrlminately. Two persons were killed,
and another besides the Colonel was wound
ed. Colonel Dickens firmly believed that it
was the elder Bolton, who had planned the
assassination and consequently vowed ven
geance The other day, an opportunity Of
tered. Col. Dickens found Mr.. Wade Boil
ton talking with friend on the street. and
without the slightest warning, fred his re-
volver at him. The bullet entered Bolton $
left arm at the shoulder joint, going through
and entering his side, infictiug a severe, but
not dangerous wound Dickens was after
wards arrested and admitted to bail in the
sum of five thousand dollars. Here we
have the vendetta of the Orlandini and the
Colonna over again, and as nobody is ever
punished for crimes of this kind at the
South, such vendetta is likely to 60 on, as
1t used to In Corsica, until there are not ma
ny left alive on either side.
EVERY day brings forth new testimony
to the efficacy Of that we'll known remedy
Hoofand's German Bitters. Many thous-
ands Of persons who are to-day suffering from
disorders OF the digestive organs, who are
emaciated, weak, and unable to attend to
their business, could soon become well,
hearty and robust, by the use Of a few bot
ties of this bitters.
Dysr epsia, Liver Complaint, and Debility
of the System soon vanish before this pow
ertul remedy. Its effects are almost mir
aculous
Hon. James Ross Snoden, Prothonotary
OF the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania,
writes
Hoofand's German Bitters is a very use
tul article as tonic, and as an appetizer.
1t IS not an Intoxicating drink, and may be
