found this species of merton with azines, whereas
it usually arises from a want Of organic energy Cor
which the subjects oft are more responsible than
the near-sghtod are for their defective vision. such
persons, although they may be free from pain, are
truly invalids and as much in need Of medical
aid, as if they were tormentod with the paHgs Of
acute disease. They require a TONIC and ALTER
ALIVE, that viii rouse and regulate their torpid
organizations. In cases Of this kind, HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS produce an immediate and
most favorable effect The debnitated and despond-
ng valotudinarian, who feels II he were but half
alive who shuns company, and has no relish,
either for business or pleasure, is metamorphosed,
by brief course Of this most potent vegetable in

BRANDRE.TH's PILLS--TO THE
PUBLIC.--B BRA ndreth's Pills have been known
and used by your srandathers and grandmothers.
They are always safe, and sure to do you good.
They purely vegetable, and diminish the death
principle some think they increase the principle
Of life. But in taking out bad humors from the
blood, they do make the body lighter, and thus
seem to add energy. Many families have used them
for upwards Of forty years.
They are tine best medicine for Colds, for all Bill
ious Afections, FOR Fullness about the Head or
Heart and in ali Cutaneous and Contagious Diseases
they are nrivalled. In all cases in which pur-
gatiye is Indicated, no medicine yet known can be
compared TO them. Two hundred physicians have
testified that Brandreths Pills are superior to all
other yurs atiyes whatever. Sold BY all druggists

Occurred st the lower landing in st.
Joseph, on the 9th, that caused q
heavyloss Ofproperty and jeOpardized
many lives. The Herald says;
Some days past a side track was laid
from the st. Joseph and Council Bluffs
Railroad, near the old packet landing,
to the rivers edge, In order 70 ship
upon the ferry boat the engine aDd
cars for the Denver road. This side
track makes a precipitous descent at
the river bank.
Yesterday morning, about s o'clock,
a dummy engine switched off upon
this side track five fiat cars loaded
with iron for the st. Joseph and Dem
yer road. The brakeman failed TO
stop the cars in season, and they soon
dashed with increased momentum to-
wards the river. A huge log placed
across the track was broken as q reed,
and a heavy wagon, standing at the
river bank, and loaded with iron, was
hurled forward into the river.
The ferry boat Nebraska City,
was at the time about to land, and
was but a short distance from the
shore, directly in front Of the side
track. The wagon struck the boat
just below the guards, and two bars of
railroad iron were driven completely
through the hull. The boat COM
menced to fill rapidly, and the officers
at once steered for a sand bar to save
her from sinking. The bar was reached
Just In season, as the boat was almost
gone when her keel struck the sand.
The ferry boat at the time was crowd
ed with passengers and the excite
ment ranhigh. TWAS miraculous that
no one was hurt by the collision.
The five cars pitched headlong into
the water, and three of them were at
once lost to sight. Two of the cars
were hauled upon dry land, but the
other three gone past redemption.
The loss by the accident is about
$4,000. The cars were worth at least
5000, and the iron lost cost over ST.
900, whilst the ferry boat, in Capt.
Trimmings opinion, has been dam
aged to the extent of at least $1,000.
Those who are posted on all the cir
cumstances in the case are Of the
opinion tkat the entire loss will fall
upon th9Hannibal & st. Joseph Rail-

Electioneering is going on upon every
street corner. The prominent candi-
dates for United States Senator are
Upton, Mccain, Marquette and But
Ter. Tipton's chances are good, and
were every man to stand on his own
merits, would undoubtedly be elected.
It IS rumored that money is beingused
to increase the chances of one or two
Of thesenRtorial aspirants. I am I'M
able to vOuch for the correctness of
this report, and only hope it has no
foundation in fact. The position is
conceded to the South Platte country,
and all acknowledge that Upton ought
60 be the man, but some, fOrpurely To-
cal considerations, viii, for a time at
cast, support Marquette or Mccain.
From present indications the candi-
dates have the following strength
which they can rely on Upton IS, Nc
Cam s, Marquette Z and Butler 5,
leaving IS as doubtful. Butler has
really but 2 votes, others may be in
duced 10 vote for him If they can see it.
The other three win in the end vote
or linton, and so viii two Of Mar
quctt's and five Of McCann's supports
ers. We feel quite sure Of Tipton's
chances as the matter now stands.

MR.. EDITOR: IL understand there
is a petition circulated in a portion of
Nemaha county praying the Legisla-
ture to enact a herdlaw for the western
half of the County. Such a law Mr..
Editor, will never work in free Nema-
ha, or if it works at all it will be to
work up the worst passions in human
nature among p~eaceable well-meaning
neighbors. For instance, we will sup
pose such a law in full force, and a
line drawn north and south in the
center of the county, which runs
through the best pasture lands we
have-the prairies are dotted with
small improvements, only a few acres
in crops and no fence. A and B are
close neighbors, A on the west side OF
the line and B on the east side. A
will naturally turn his stock over the
line on the side minus the herd law
where the settler must herd them out
of his crops or stand their deprada-
tions, for their is no law to protect
him, and at the same time he must
carefully herd his own stock, lest they
happen to cross the awful line and
trespass ON AS premises, who will
take them up and recover damages
And there will be no end to the trou-
bic, for the same thing may happen
every few days. If the Legislature
cannot give us a general herd law fol
the whole state, I would advise them
to let well enough alone, or at least
leave it to a vote of the people.
SHERMAN.
