This wonderful vegetable restorative is
the sheet-anchor Of the feeble and dcbilita-
ted. As a tonic and cordial for the aged
and languid, it has no equal among stom-
achics. As remedy for the nervous weak
ness to which women are especially subject,
lit is superceding every other stimulaut. In
all climates, tropical, temperate or trigid, it
acts as a specific in every species Of disorder
which undermines the bodily strength and
breaks down the animal spirits. For sale

TEXAS RAILROAD ENTERPRISES
Liberal Ncrthern subscriptions.

The Central Journal, published at
Crockett, Houston county, Texas, is one OF
the ablest Republican papers in the State.
The Journal is sound on railroad questions,
and says:
The subscription of six millions of dol
lars. in New York. for the building OF the
great Northern Railroad, in Texas, is the
first pra ,tical evidence OF reconstruction
we have seen, and We hail it as the omen
of better days at hand for Texas. When
Wall street invests money in any enterprise
its success is almost assured. We are IN
formed that some half dozen Of the leading
men in this undertaking ar worth IN the
aggregate more than twice the amount
which has been subscribed. The scarcity OF
la Dor is all that will hiader the rapid COM
pietion of this important work. The pecu-
niarY means are abundant. VI course que
care must be used in building the road. with
proper regard to economy. The preliminary
steps must be wisely and prudently taken to
secure success, as is necessary IN all enter
priseB. To build the road requires prudence
and forethought, as the Welfare of the stock
holders is not among the least important OF
the considerations to be kept IN view. rms
road is TO go from Houston to Red River,
via Tyler, and must come somewhere neal
Crockett, if not through it.
1t will pass through sugar, cotton ano
wheat region, in distance of three hundred
miles. 1t will be one of the many ties
uniting the Gulf of Mexico with the great
Northern lakes and their tributaries. In
less than five years the capital of Texas
will have railroad communication with al
the capitals of all the other States IN the
American Union, and Canada and Mexico
will be in four days of each other. Noun
tains will be tunneled, rivers run over, ano
all obstacles to commerce and communlca
ton will be lessened and surmounted by the
industry and genius of man. There will bt
two or more railroads to the Pacific OceaI
in FIVE years. The next to be built will
pass through the present limits OF Texas
The success Of the Great Northern Railroad
has ecipsed the expectations OF its mos
sanguine friends. 1t has proven the mos
wonderful triumph of the age.

PROFITS OF AN INSURANCE AGENT
Forty-Two Per Ceat Of Premiums
ELEVEN PER CENT OF RENEWALS

We copy the following report OF case
before the Superior Court, special term, in
New York, Judge Mcneil. presiding:
Gustavus A. Fudickar VS.. the Guardian
Mutual Life insurance Company.-Thls IS
an action on the equity side OF the court to
determine the title to, and obtain the dellv-
ery Of certain books of accounts. taken
from the Plaintiffs possession under some-
what extraordinary circumstances. Ii ap-
pears that Mr. Fudickar, who claims TO be
the owner of the property III question. un-
der certain contracts made with defendant,
was in quiet possession OF the same on the
first day of April last. On the afternoon OF
that day, as appears by the papers, W. ii.
Peckham and W. L. Hooker, the President
and Vice President of the insurance COM
pany, got the ianitor of the bui ding to open
The doors of the plaintiffs ot1ice, and, after
entering, they took from the plaintiff 5
desks, which they broke open with violence,
the books of account in suit. The same
night the corporation, through its presi-
dent, notified the plaintiff that his contracts
with the company were cancelled. Ihe next
day, the second Of April, the defendant
commenced an action ii the Supreme Court
for S25 coo for breach of Mr.. Fudickars s
contracts.
The present action was instituted on'the
eighth of the month to determine the title
10 the property thus violently taken, and
the plaintiff asks the court that receiver
of these books of account may be appointed
until the question of title to them Is deter
mined. The plaintiffs contracts with this
corporation gave him the sole right OF H.
suriug lives, collecting premiums, and ap-
pointing agents in thirteen States OF the
Union, ana in the cities Of New York and
Milwaukee. For his services he Was to
receive forty-two per cent Of the first years
premiums, and eleven per. cent on all re-
newals during the term of his life. These
contracts had four years to run from the
first of April, 1870, and it appears from the
affidavits that during his connection with
the company the plalntitf had obtained, IL
one year, 81, 500 coo Of policies, the pre-
miums On which were one fourth Of the
, revenues OF the corporation: An action a
| law has been commenced by the plaintiff
against the Guardian Company, in the eupe
| rior Court for the recovery OF $500 00O fol
| breach Of these contracts.
The defendant admits that its officers die
| take the property out of the office OF plain
| tiff, and assumes the responsibility OF tina
act. II claims, however, that these book
| Of account are the property of the corpora
! ton, and that in the course of their selZur
| none Of the private property and effects
| the plaintiff were disturbed. 1t also allege
that it would seriously Inconvenience tn
| defendants business If the books We're re
| moved from their custody, and that the cor
poration had IN its own building very fin
| iron safe where the books could DE satel
| kent.
| The court appointed a special receiver.

This is suit filed yesterday in the Fifth

that the Butchers Benevolent Association

ten thousand dollars, for this, to wit: That
by their act CT Incorporation, petitioners
have certain exclusive right and d-privileges

THE CpNCHO EEAGEDY.
p.r,,s Of Travelling In Texas

The Austin Journal of a late date says:
We have been favored by General Grover
with some further particulars OF the tragic
mschance by which six lives were recently
lost on the upper Coucho.
II seems that Colonel Merriam was re-
turning from Fort Bliss under leave OF ab-
sence. panied by his family aud escort.
They had ctmped at the head OF the Conchs,
night, the water suddenly rose over the
banks aud flooded the tent. There was no
time to harness the animals. so Mrs. Mer-
riam, child and nurse were placed IN the
ambulance, and the soldiers began to drag
it toward the hills, but almost in an instant
the water deepened to swimming depth;
the current tore the ambulance from their
hands aud carried it, with It's precious
cargo, down the stream. Three OF the SOL
dlers were drowned, and the rest barely es-
capped. The bodies have been recovered
aud inferred. Colonel Merriam is expected
here in q few days.
