his solicitude for our personal welfare-for
which we are duly thankful-is such that he
does not tell US from what part of that authors
works the quotation is made, bat leaves TO US
the task Of hunting it up and thereby obtaining
q valuable and desirable knowledge Of those

who always reply, when asked in regard to
the origin Of any quotation, that il can be
found IN the Bible or Shakespearc-going upon
tie theory that if they have guessed wrong not
one per. on il ten can detect the fraud. We do

It's object and quiet the alarm which has pre-,

listed in our midst. Greatly exaggerated stories
have gone abroad in regard to its prevalence
in this community and rumor has multiplied
the number OF cases affected by the disease
ten fold. The further spread of the con-
tagion in our midst, we have no doubt, will be
thoroughly checked, and by the exercise of or

THE AGE OF MIRACLES REv1vED.-The Hes

of the most miraculous cures on record. Isaac
Satzer, of Myerstown, Lebanon county, Pa,
a youth seventeen years old, was afflic for
over two years with the worst form of Scro-
fala his entire body, face, neck aud limbs were
literally covered with large running sores,
which discharged purule Mt matter SO copious-
ly as to gather half an inch deep in bed dur
ing the night; he was constantly cold, aud re-
quired hot fire in his room both summer and
winter; the smell was so offensive that no per-
son could endure it longer than a minute or
two; Drs. Bridenbach Butcher, Heckart and
Lebvengood, well-known and skillful physi-
clans, attended him successfully, without be-
ing able to afford the sufferer any relief As
a last resort, he was induced to use the cele-
brated Mishler's Herb BitterS, and is now per-
fectly restored to health The editor of the
Mess enger of Health has in his possession two
la rye glass jars con tanning FIVE pounds of scabs
taken from the body of young Saltzer.

The FuNRnAh OF GovsnsoRo PreKrNs. =

THE FUNERAL. OF GovEnNoRo PreKrNs. -
The funeral of this distinguished citizen
and statesman-so peculiarly honored and
beloved in this. his home-took place on
Wednesday last. During the Tuesday pre-
cedlng, the body. nrrayed in the splendid
uniform which he wore as Chief Magistrate
of Carolina, in her day of hope aud pride,
lay In state at Edgewood, whose walls were
richly and appropriated, draped in mourn
ing; and friend after friend. and citizen
after citizen, went to look, for the last time,
upon the noble and revered dead.
On Wednesday, our town and District
poured forth their inhabitants to do honor
to the sad occasion. So much so, that not
only was the church crowded to it's utmost
capacity, but even the church yard and area
in front were thronged with sorrowful
friends and fellow-citizens, all anxious to
show their deep appreciation of the depart
ed patriot-Cnrolina's true, incorruptible,
faithful son. The male citizens, with the
teachers and pupils of the several schools
formed in procession, and received, un-
covered, the funeral cortege upon the public
square Moving from thence to Trinity
Church, the procession was met by Rev. f.
Il. Walker, officiating clergyman; and us he
read the Introductory sentences of the sub
lime burial service of the Episcopal Church,
the grand, solemn strains of Beethoven's
funeral march, SuhI mOIe dun Eros, re-
sounded through the sacred cdiHce. ming
ling its moans with the bitter plant of
human woe.
SO much of the service as is appointed
for the Church being over, the vast congre-
CATION sang, with one accord and deep feel
ing, that hymn of comfort and assurance,
"How firm foundation, ye saints of the
Lord" after which, the pall-bearers, num-
berlng sixteen of our most promising citi-
zens, passed down the aisle, bearing to the
grave the illustrious dead, while the organ
sobbed out its low Miserere and the mourn
ing concourse slowly followed.
After the conclusion of the services of
the Church, the coffin, covered with ever
greens and flowers. was lowered, and our
unhappy State received into her bosom all
that remained Of the great the true, the
loyal heart, that had loved and served her
with devotion even beyond the sacred
purity of Roman patriotism.
