TERBiBLE RENcoUNTER. Last Satur-
day, the usually quiet town of Lagrange
was the scene of q most terrible and
bloody fight. between man named Wi
therspoon, formerly a merchant of this
place, and q oountryman named King
The difficulty grew out of an old business
matter. and was aggravated by whiskey
on both sides, King, after being shot
through the arm and lungs, forced Wi
therspoon into store. knocked him
down with his pistol-which had failed
fre FIVE times, and beat his head until
life was thought to be extinct. The last
shot fred by Witherspoon wounded n
young man named Branchford in the leg.
The fight is said to have been the most
desperate that ever occurred in the dis
trict. It is thought that neither King
nor Witherspoon can survive.

.IIOW CHILLY THE EVENINGS IN

'AAOV OEhAAAA EN1NSS IN
OCTOBER!"- This is common remark, yet
how few think Of the danger Of exposing them
selves to their Influence? In all low, marshy
localities Ague and Fever prevail at this sea-
son OF the year. In this disease there is inva-
riably more or less arrangement Of the liver
and digestive organs. The remedies usually
resorted to have reference to preventing the
paroxysm or breaking up the chills. II this is
effected without removing the cause, relapse
is inevitable. HOSTETTER'S STOMACH
B1TTERS strike directly at the foundation of
the evil, by acting on the liver and correcting
digestion. The cause being removed, the
paroxysm will cease. and the chills cannot re.
turn: When the patient is weak and debilitat-
ed, the BITTERS should be resorted to, as
they will strengthen and tone the stomach,
allay all nervous irritation, and infusc renewed
animation into the hitherto dropping spirits,
without entailing the danger OF reaction
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS is
truly a preventive medicine, rendering even
the feoblest frame impervious to all maiarious
influences; and, as a stomachic and anti-bi-
lious medicine, it is Incompatible, and no one
who values his health can afford to do without
it. Fortify the system with thie intestima BILE
tonic and invigorant, and the "Chills of Octo-
Dor Evenings" will have no terror for you.

Ecoautrioity Of Genius.

There is scarcely case on record where
there existed, u greater antsgonism between
an author and his pen than IN the case Of
Sir William Hamilton. Ia reading his pure
and limpid language, il is hard to realize
that he was not ready writer. But while
occupying the chair of logic and methaphy.
sizes in the University of Edinburgh, and
every day delivering from it those lee.
lures on metaphysical science which have
made him famous throughout the world, he
could never take his pen at any time and
write certain required amount. Indeed,
be ways took up his pen with extreme re !.
luetance. Owing to this aversion to compo.
s,ion, he was often compelled to sit up all
night in order to prepare the lecture which
was to be the wonder and admiration of
every person who heard it the next day.
This lecture he wrote roughly and rapidly,
and it was copied and corrected by his wife in
the nexsroom. Sometimes it was not finish.
ed by 9 o'clock in the morning, and the
weary wife had fallen asleep, only to be
wakefnl and ready, however, when he ap.
peared with fresh copy.
