STARTLING DISCLOSURE.
Arrest Of Prominent Citizen for Arson.

Our readers viii, recollect that on the
night Of November %, just before election,
Mr. Richard Moses, who lives about threq
miles from the city on the Locust street
road, had some fourteen stacks Of wheat
aud barley burned to the ground. 1t was
the product Of his entire season work, from
the proceeds Of which he had hoped to pay
off some heavy liabilities under which he
had labored for several years previous, and
then destruction was, indeed, severe loss.
The peculiar circumstance Of the burning
led 10 the certain belief that it was done by
some one who was actuated By hatred Of
him, as it could not De accounted for Oh the
hope Of gaining anything, either by insur.
snce or attendant plumber. At that time no
clue could be obtained that would fasten
suspicion upon any one, and all hope Of
bringing the guilty party 10 justice was, for
the time, abandoned. The public soon for.

ployed to ferret out the matter With 9th

case, and this morning the people Of this
city were startled with the report that Rob.
ert Mcintosh, Esq, one Of our oldest citi.
2ens, whose reputation for honesty and up.
rightncss in all his dealings has never been
questioned, had been arrested for the dark
deed.
Various are the reports that have been
passed from mouth to mouth, as to the cause
Of the arrest, the probabilities Of guilt, etc,
but none seem inclined to believe that an
old citizen, 20 well and fayorably known,
could be guilty Of so heinous o crime. The
information WAS filed before Justice Dowd
and warrant for the arrest Of Mr.. McIn.
tosh, in the name Of the state, placed IN the

Morning Star Bitters.

This is no novel in the market, having been be-
fore the public for the last five years and has
everywhere stood the test of the searching scru-
tiny.
This medicine is actually compounded from
the purest ingredien:s by an experienced and
careful chemist; neither is it claimed that the
ingredients were hitherto unknown to the med
ical profession. On the contrary the various
component parts have for a long time (seme of
them for centuries been used by the NEST sci
entific and experienced physicians as specifics in
cases of Dyspepsia, Poverty of the blood, Ner-
vous and Bilious Headaches, and many diseases
arising from arrangements of the Digestive ap-
paratus. 1t is not claimed for this article that
it will all diseases, but in Bilious Fever and
Chills and fever, its value not only as a relief,
but, as an actual cure has been fully proved;
1t is especially recommended in all diseases
resulting from an impure state of the Liver
Such as Hepatic Congestion, hillary distractions,
excess of Bile, SC.
1t is recommended by prominent medical men,
who, though opposed in principle to all "Patent
or Proprietary medicines % have been forced by
the'result of their experience with the MORNING
STAR BITTERs to recommend its use to their pa
tients and the general public. We append few
certificates:
BALTIMORE, Nd, May 9Th, 1869.
Dear Sir Though bitterly opposed to .sPat-
ent' or preparatory Medicines" yet shall be
doing great injustice to withhold from you the
beneficial results have obtained from the use of
the compound you style 'Morning Star Bitters.''
Having for several years been stationed on our
Southern Coast, have had good opportunity to
prove its worth, not only remedy in malari-
GUS diseases, but as q preventive, and l can
cheerfully assert that l have never used a more
prompt and pleasant medicine-as tonic it is
certainly most excellent. =
Respectfully, &c.,

Cider and Wine Mill

THE OLD DOMINION was the most popular
Mill sold in 1867 and 1868, we having sold over
two hundred ourselves. 1t is made with two tubs
for pressing, so that the Mill and Press can both
be kept constantly at work.
Instead of the old fashioned graters we have
adopted the crushing rollers, which all admit to
be the best mode of extracting the juice from
the apple. This Mill can be run by hand or horse
power, and is the favorite wherever used-pro-
ducng a larger quantity of cider than any other
Portable Mill.
At the Augusta County Fair and Rockbridge
Agricultural Fair, the Old Dominion took the
First Premium, over the "American," g Hutchin-
son y and Scully." These facts speak for them
selves, as the committees in both instances were
gentlemen of thoroughly practical knowledge and
large experience.
