DEAR SIR.--It is with much pleasure that |
say to you that l consider the PLANTATION
BITTERs of untold value. In the fall of 1867 |
was taken with Chills and Fever, with the
most severe pains in my chest and head. 1t
was with great difficulty that | could breathe.
My lungs were greatly distressed, and there
was severe pam in my right side, by spells. /
could hardly get up from my bed. / called a
doctor, who attended me al winter without
the least benefit. About the 1st of August L
commenced using your PLANTATION BIITEIs

now well and strong, able to do all my own
work and the care of large family.

clients was a weli-to-do-farmer whose land
contained valuable ''lead of mineral" on
which a miner had 'ssquatted" While
the rights of the proprietor were clear and
unquestionable, the sentiments Of inc
miners in those .'diggings" were with
the trespasser, and the farmer found it
necessary to resort to the law. to reips.ate
him IN his property. Suit =, was in

Jim Wicker was q comical-lookine fell

of having no hair he looked very old
from his eyebrows all The way round to the
back of his neck. He was very sensitive
nbout the defect, and was somewhat cela-
brated, from n fight he had had with trav-
cling agriculturist, who, upon being asked
by Jim, 'What would cause the hair to
grow upon his shining poll, was advised
to cover the top of his head with guano,
and plant it down in crab grass" But Jim
wouldn't quarrel with Capt. Wild, for that
gentleman was not only the host of the

Bank of Rochester, then as good as gold,
and s2 note on the Bank of Windsor, Vt,
equally good, with the request that Mr..
Amsden should hand the money to Mr.
E. ST. Brooks. The letter was sent to
Alderman Mason's hotel, placed in the de-
livery box, and after remaining for some
time without being called for, got among
Nh. Mason's private papers. and was laid
sway and forgotten. Recently, upon exa1a-
ining the effects of Mr.. Mason, long since
deceased. the letter WAS found. and sent to
Mr.. Amsden. who Immediately went and
handed the money to Mr.. Brooks, as he
was requested three and thirty years gone

The Midnight Sun.

The following is q description of the
scene witnessed by Mr.. Campbell and his
party in the north of Norway, as they
stood ON a cliff !, 900 feet above the sea.
The passage is unsurpassed in graphic
beauty:
The ocean stretched Tar away In silent
vastness at our feet: the sound Of its waves
scarcely reached our airy lookout; away in
the north the huge old sun swung low
slong the horizon Ike the slow. beat Of the
pendulum in the tall clock of our grand
fathers parlor corner. We all stood silent,
looking at our wafches When both hands
come toge<her st II o'clock nidnjeht, the
full round orb hung triumphantly above
the wave-a bridge Of gold running due
north spanned the water between us and
him. Thare he shone inrsilent majesty

took on our hats; no word was said. Com
bine, if you can, the most brilliant sunset
and sunrise you ever saw, and its beauties
will pale before the gorgeous coloring which
now lit up ocean, heaven and mountain. In
half an hour the sun had swung up percep-
ibly on his beat, the colors changed to
thQBeef morning, q fresh breeze rippled
otsf- -Ne<aood, one ssngster after another
piped up in the grove behind us-we had
slid into another day.

show what South Africa can do. A Cape
of Good Hope newspaper says the diamond
isabout the size of an ordinary walnut,
with an unspoiled surface. though irregu-
lar outline, but no flaw to detract from the
value. At first sight it does not appear es-
pecially brilliant-not so bright, perhaps,
as otker diamonds which have come from

may rival the far-famed 'Koh-i-nor" for
beauty, though not equaling it in size.

A Crowded Circus Tent Frustrated by
Wind-.lntense Alarm among the
Spectators.
From the Dayton lOhiol Ledger, Aug. II.

Hfoin tue layton lOhlOl Ledger, Aug. IL.
Yesterday afternoon. about 3 o'clock,
while Bryant's menaperie and circus was
in full blast, at the corner of First and
Webster streets, there came very suddenly
furious gale of wind, followed by heavy
shower of rain, which for short time
seemed as though it would scatter every
thing before it. The performance was
about half over, when all at once the guy
poles inside were lifted from the ground,
and considerable creaking was heard thro'
the entire canvas, which spread great con-
sternation among the vast number of peo-
pie gathered under the pavilion. 1t was
evident that the pavilion would instantly
fall unless great force was applied outside
ito hold ON to the ropes Some fifty men
took hold of the ropes on the south side,
and attempted to hold it from blowing
over, but it was utterly impossible. In
another instant the ropes snapped, the
center pole came unfastened, and with a
terrible crash the large pavilion was dash
ed to the ground, upsetting at the same
time two OF the wagons containing wild
animals.
AT this point several voices cried out
"The animals are loose" This terrific
alarm, added to the intense excitement
caused by the falling of the canvas and
breaking of the seats, and screaming of
women and children, made confusion more
confounded, and tho srene one of the Wild
est disorder and the greatest danger we
ever had occasion to witness. The people
were now all terrified, and fed everywhere
IN the widest confusion. Amid the
screams of at least thousand women and
children, who were trying to extricate
themselves from beneath the broken
benches. and crawling out from under the
canvas, mothers and fathers seized their
children and frantioally rushed their way
ont as best they could. Many of the
children were pressed down in the excite
ment and trampled in the dirt; some were
very much bruised. Many men and women
fed to adjacent housesand closed the doors
behind to escape from being overtaken by
the wild animals, which they imagined
were in pursuit of them. But two persons
We're seriously inJured-W. II. Mitchell,
who was flung across bench while at
tempting to support a guy, and little girl,
whose name We did not ascertain, had her
arm broken and received severe wound
on the head.
