DEL1CIoUsLY MEDICINAL.-Thisis the
universal verdict pronounced upon
PLANTATION B1TTERs by all who have
tried them. The well.known health
promoting ingredients from which they
are made, and their invaluable merits
as remedy for Indigestion and all its
consequent ailments, and the preven-
tive qualities against diseases arising
from climatic changes, miasmatic in
huences and imperfect secretions, are
so widely known and so honorably en-
dorsed, that we trust no one will fore
go the advantages of their use.
MAGNOLIA WATER.-Superior to the
best imported German Cologne. and
sold at half the price. eodd&w

POLICE CoURT.-The session of the
Police Court. yesterday morning, was a
short one, and the fines paid into the
city treasury correspondingly small.
The only cases disposed of were those
of Robert Miller and James Daley,
charged with being drunk. The testi-
mony was direct and conclusive. They
were fined one dollar each and costs
Last evening Miller had not succeeded
in raising the amount required of him,
and we heard the officers making ar
rangements to convey him to Fifth
street. What became of Daley we do
not know. nor do we suppose the public
to be deeply exercised on that point.

RIVER NEws.-The arrival of the r.
II. Hudson from Cincinnati with fair
trip of freight, and also that OF the
Lorena. from Pittsburgh, en- route for
st. Louis,) on which quite a consider
able amount of freight was shipped at
this point, made little more activity
on the landing than we have been ac-
customed to see for some ime. Several
tow boats passed up. We noticed two
tugs with the usual number of empty
barges, and another with deeply laden
keel boat, going by here, yesterday, al
most abreast, which has not been wit
messed in this region in long time, if
ever, previously. The local packets
made their usual trip. The Express
got an elegant trip, and the Rebecca
should be equally fortunate to-day.
The Hudson leaves for Cincinnati at 8
p. NJ. Among her freight will be 25OO
kegs of nails.
River here, last evening, seven feet
and falling; at Pittsburgh, yesterday,
five feet, three inches and receding.
The Valley, West Fork and Cheat riv-
ers are In line rafting stage, as we learn
from gentleman who came in over the
Baltimore road, yesterday. We may
expect rise here in a day or two.
Thursday evening, just as the Louis
Vile was preparing to depart from Gin
cinnati for New Orleans, the local in
spectors came on board and inspected a
lot of $50 barrels of coal oil, which
proved to be benzine. It was rolled
ashore by their order, and the shipment
of this arLicle being in violation of the
law, it will be c0nfiscated, and the ship
per or owner made to pay the penalty.
It was brought from Parkersburg by
the Edinburgh, and re-shipped for
New Orleans on the Louisville, the lat.
ter paying freight and charges to this
point. 1t was shipped as coal oil.
The John W. Garrett passed Gin
cinnati from st. Louis to Wheeling,
with two barges, containing LOO tons
iron ore, 200 barrels fire clay, and a lot
of empty oil barrels.

Route AGENT APPoINTED.-Mr. G..
B. w. Roper, f>rmerly compositor in
the INTELLIGENCER Office, has been ap-
pointed route agent on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad. between Cumber.
land and Baltimore. we feel confident
he wiIlmake good officer. He held the
same position for sometime after the
road was opened from Cumberland to
Grafton, and is, therefore, no novice in
the business. He left Cumberland on
his first trip. Yesterday morning.

Gov. Holden for Vice-President.

The Wilmington Post is the third paper
to sustain the STANDARDS nominations for
1S72-GRANT and HOLDEN. 1t is conce-
dcd on every hand, even by Democrats,
that Gov HoLDEN's talents fit him for any
position to which lie may be chosen, and
that, as the SOUTH is clearly entitled to the
second place upon the next national ticket,
Gov. HOLDEN should be the man. In this
connection the Post says: Already different
State papers are agitating the question of
possible candidates for the Presidency and
Vice. Presidency of the country. We are
pleased to learn that although popular SEN
timents point to GRANT for a second term
that Southern man is demanded for the
next highest office in the gift of the peo-
pie, and that the most prominent candidate,
SO far, is His Excelency W. W. HOLDEN.
Certainly w. w. HOLDEN has claims upon
the Republican party it will be difficult to
overlook, and when the next Convention
meets we hope to see our Saul among the
prophets "head and shoulders above" all
the rest of the many excellent Southern
men who may be named in connection with
the high office. One thing is certain, the
Republicans of this State will be an unit
in the support of Gov. HOLDEN and We have
enough of influence to impress our wishes
from the North and West"

An Elephant Rampant.

The elephant Romeo, who paid our city a
visit ON Saturday, and who has won quite q
reputation for cutting up, started sensa-
iion yesterday morning, which for sometime
bid fair to he lively. 1t seems that when
the train was coming into the city on Fri
day morning some thoughtless boy threw a
stone at the baby elephant hurting it. Ro-
meo was full of wrath and started for the
crowd OF boys with the evident determine
tion OF stirring them up. The keeper fortu-
nately saw what was up, and succeeded in
quieting the monster Yesterday morning
the boy who threw the stone was ON the cir
Gus grounds, and Romeo by some means
discovered him. The huge fellow was full
of wrath and started about wildly. He up
set stands, threw his trunk about him and
beloved very much like young tornado.
1t was evident that he meant mischief, and
as soon as he was in earnest would manage
to get loose, and then the dickens would be
to pay. A rider was sent down town to hunt
up Romeo's keeper, and that worthy arrived
Just as the monster was in fair way to get
loose. The keeper managed by blows and
threats toquiet affairs. Meanwhile the boy
no had made the trouble was getting to
town as fast as his young legs would carry
him. .,ls5.ss 4 L. ..sd \ .saifs' BE.
