During the past fifty years, says the late
Dr. Geo. h Dadd, much ofthe live stock of
the country has been most outrageOusIy
over doctored and over dosed Many people
suppOsing that by converting sick horse s
stomach into sort of apothecary's shop
and grocery store the sooner would he get
well, when the very reverse is the case.
Horses and Cattle require but little medicine
in most cases, but this should always be OF
an alteratiUe yet SanatiUe character The
best aLteratiUe and curative remedies for
Horses and Cattle ever known to science
containing no anthony or other agent that
can possibly have bad effect on the system
of any living creature, yet calculated to be
potent in the cure of any disease, are the
Justly celebrated "AMERICAN MAGNEC
TIC EQUINE REMEDIE :" prepared by
LORD, SMITH & Co., Sc Wabash avenue
Chicago, who also publish valuable Urea
ties" on the causes, symptoms and treatment
of all diseases in Horses and Cattle, and
will furnish copy gratis to any owner Of
live stock.

bears the certificate, of DR.. Dadd, who used
them extensively in his practice. o8-2t

KILLING "A terrible and fatal ARRAY &C.
Cured at Columbus, Kentucky, last satur-
day. ltappears that five men, who had a
difficulty fortnight ago, met in. town and
proceeded to settle matters by free fight,
with the following result: Smith Gibson
was stabbed twice and died instantly.
George Gibson was stabbed dangerously.
Austin had his skull fractured by club
and will probably die. Conrad was shot,
and there is but little hopes of mis- recovery.
Bricellman was stabbed and terribly beaten,
but was taken to his home in the country.
The probable result of his injuries are IN
known. The desperate nature of the en-
counter is shown by the fact that all those
engaged were hors de combat three min
utes after the commencement of the af-
fray
