mplish this, the liver and stomach must first be
,eansed and an appetite created for good whole
sme food, which, by these medicines will be di-

thus building up the constitution. SCHEN CK'S
MANDRAKE PILLS cleanse the stomach of all
bilious or mucous accumulations, and by using
the Sea Weed Tonic in connection, the appetite is
restored
SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP is nutri-
cious as well medicinal, and by using the three
remedies, all impurities are expelled from the sys-
TEN, and good, wholesome blood made, which will
repel all disease. Ifpatents win take these medi-
cines according to directions, Consumption very
frequently in its last stage yields readily to their
action. Take the pills frequently, to cleanse the
liver and stomach. 1t does not follow that because
the bowels are not costiye they are not required
for sometimes in diarrh@a they are neces sarv.
The stomach must be kept healthy, and an APP

a day or two in our neighboring town of Wood
stock, couple of hours ride below US on the O.. !,
M. R 4. This place is known as one of the
oldest towns in the Valley of Virginia, and is the
chief town of the county of Shenandoah, one of
the best and most substantial in all respects of the
great Valley counties. Woodstock, to tell the
truth, wears dilapidated, FINISHED" aspect
And yet there are indications of an improvement
in its material fortunes. About in spots new
buildings are commenced, and others, we learn,
are in contemplation. Intelligent friends assure
us that the old town is really looking up.
Like their neighbors of Harrisonburg, they are
exhibiting a marked degree of religious pride,
there being no less than four new churches occu-
pied by different denomina tons now in the town.
Some of these have been fitted up and painted
and frescoed in extremely handsome style. Their
beautiful churches do honor to the enlightened
and cultivated taste Of the good people of Wood
stock.

Trial for Murder.

The trial of John Murphy, charged with
the murder of John Conner, near Mt Jackson,
in October last, is now in progress before the
County Court of Shenandoah, which has been
in session since Monday. This case, from the
peculiar atrecities,which marked the .perpetra-
tion of this murder, has excited considerable
interest. 1t will be remembered that the body
was horribly nlutilated and dishgured by the
murderer after the killing. A jury was i'm
pannelled On Monday afternoon last, and the
examination of witnesses commenced. The
case is proceeding with all the elaboration
which ought to mark q controversy involving
such fearful issues. The Court is composed
of the following Justices:
Obed Funk, Presiding Justice Associates,
E. F. Rinker, W. al. Bennett, John F. Balthis
and Wan. Ligge:t.
The following gentlemem compose the Jury:
Luther Harm, ". Roseaberger, David Rhodes,
Samuel G.. Stephenson, joseph Watson, Jacob
w. Bowman, Sam'l Gollaaay, Amos Spengler,
James Wright, John MeIntara, silas Wisman
and Samuel Ceffmas-
The Commonwealth is represented by Mark
Bird, ESQ.,, and the prisoner by Walton & Wal
ton, and L. Triplett, Esq. The examination,
in chief, is being conducted by NJ. Walton, Esq.
It is impossible to state when the trial will
close, q number of witnesses being yet to ex-
anime, after which the arguments of Counsel
are 10 be heard.
There vas tremendous array Of circum
staneial testimony calculated to identify the
prisoner with the murder on Wednesday after
noon. The murdered mans money, received
the evening he was killed, was exhibited to the
jury as having been found in the possession o
Murphy. Several of the notes were stained
with the blood of the owner.

any permanent organization, mutual cOnces-
sons will be necessary; and the Republican
members of the Cortes, If they cannot obtain
such form of government as they DESIRE ought
to know how to yield point and to throw
their influence in favor of q constitution which
will secure the largest liberty consistent with
the safety, honor, and welfare of the nation.
1t is this factious and impracticable
spirit that has been the bane of
repubcanism in Europe, and which has done
more than anything else to strengthen the hands
of despotism. Such men as Victor Hugo, Ledru
Rollin, Mazzini, and others, are enthusiastic and
honest, but their labor of years has resulted in
nothing; and, like some of the advanced guard of
radicalism in this country, they have only sue
ceeded in bringing their cause into contempt
while men of more common sense and clearer
ideas fill their places in the legislative halls, the
minister's bureau and the editors chair, and, by
not demanding everything at once, prepare the
way more surely for the larger liberty which
cannot be refused in course of time If the people
are only educated up to the point of understand
ing and appreciating what true liberty is and
the vast difference between it and unbridled
license.
The new Spanish Constitution, although it is
not in all respects what we would like to see it, is
nevertheless liberal and progressive. If an able
man is called to the head of affairs, who will un-
derstand the real requirements of the situation,
and the provisions of the constitution are carried
out in proper spirit, it will give Spain just such
a government as she apparently needs Mt this
juncture. By refusing to take the oaths, the
Republicans will place themselves in a position
that will seriously impair their usefulness, and
will tend to weaken the cause of liberty not only
in Spain but throughout Europe. With some of
the ablest men of the nation in their ranks, such
a course is TO be deplored; and without knowing
all the facts of the case which might have
influenced their rumored determination, we can
only hope that the report is an exaggeration and
that wiser counsels will prevail.
