CURE OF SCROFUIA-A DESPERATE
CASE TESTIMONY OF ONE OF
NASHVILLE's OLDEST AND BEST
KNOWN MERCHANTS. =

7 HEREBY CERTIFY, THAT IN FEBRUA-
L ~, 1860, Mrs. Armstrong, of Indiana,
brought her child, then four years old. to Nash
Vile to have it examined by the Professors of
The Nashville Medical College, then in session.
It's disease was scrofula, and it was covered
with sores from the crown of its head TO its feet.
II was completely blind, and had never been
able TO stand alone. The doctors told her there
was no cure for it, and it was useless even to
try to give il relief. Having seen the child,
and being acquainted with its mother. advised
her to call in DIR. Westervelt, and let him see
il, which she did. lie told her at once that he
could cure IL, and would warrant 2 cure If She
would take his medicine home with her. and
give it to the child according to his directions;
which she agreed to do. In three months from
that time she wrote to me- stating that the
child was entirely well. There was not a sore
about It, its sight was restored, and it could run
about as smart as any child OF ITS age: his
cure was performed over nine years ago. l know
the child is still living, and has had no return
of the disease; also know that DR.: Westeryelt
has since curs4i other members of the family OF
the same disease. give this statement as

SmITH COUNTY.

The Huntsville VTdette says
"This county will give Senter five
hundred majority as the vote now
stands, and if all who are entitled
to vote had certificates he would
carry it by one thousand majority.
The county has been conservative
for more than a year, but many men
have deemed it useless to go to the
polls when they knew their votes
could be thrown out by the Regis
ter and that they would be thrown
out if Brownlow or the league re-
quirOd it. Things arc changed
nowand Smith county is certain to
send a sensible man to the Legisla-
ture."

The McMinnville Enterprise, a
Stokes organ, insists that the decis-
ion of the Supreme Court "leaves
those registered by county clerks
where the law places them, unenfran-
chised." The Enterprise furnishes
a forcible illustration of the cid
adage that "there are none SO
blind as those who will not see. -
The decision of the court is that the
franchise is as much right as the
title to property of any kind, and
once acquired by citizen, he can
not be deprived of it by the Legis.
lature or the Governor. This is a
plain recognition of the legality Of
certificates issued by county clerks.

between Race and Monterey, has been turned up
side down and rendered entirely impassable by the
construction of cuvert along that portion OF the
thOroughfare. Yet the contractor. whoever he may
be- has taken no precauton whatever 10 prevent the
occurrence of accidents in consequence OF the con
ditiOn OF the street. The whole square should nave
been enclosed by rope or rail at each end, as a
warning to the drivers OF vehicles, but there has
been no such precautiOn TAKEN and wagons and car
Tiages have frequently been obliged to turn about
after running upon the distractions. About 10 O'Clock
last evening a carriage drawn by two horses, and
containing lady occupant driven squarely into
the ditch before the driver had any intimation of the
condition OF the street. AS the moon was presumed
by the city authorities TO be shining, the gas lamp
just in front OF the scene Of the occurrence had not
been lighted, and the spot envelOped in absolute
darkness. One OF the horses was eXtrcated without
difficulty, but an hour elapsed before the other a
very valuable animal, could be removed, with the
aid OF dozen men and the appliances Of shoyes and
planks. The carriage could not be lifted out of the
muddy ditch until this morning. II the proper authO
