What does Reason Saw i,

The little mongoose when bitten by deadly
serpent resorts to certain plant eats of it, and
escapes the effect of the oson. That is instinct.
Human beings on the other hand, must depend
on reason and experience in selecting the means
Of protecting health and life against dnwholesome
influences. Now. what does reason say on this
vital subject? Does it not tell us that to invgo-
and purify the system is the best way to pro-
tect it against the invisible poison which gener-
ates disease? Surely it does. The next quest on
is, what guide shall we follow in choosing me-
dicinal safeguard? Reason replies let your mon
ltor be experience. WE'LL the experience of
eighteen years comprised in one unbroken series
of satisfactory testimonials assure us that Hos
letters Stomach Bitters possess strengthening,
regulating and antseptic properties which are
any other preparation extant This therefore is
the antidote to which reason bids us resort when
our health is imperllled either by the malaria
which produces epidemic disorders, or by any
other cause, whether inherent and constitutional
or connected with our habits, occupations and
pursuits.
The venom of a noxious reptile is scarcely
more subtle and dangerous than that which
turks in foul air and impure water. To escape
the fevers bilious disorders, distur Dances of the
bowels, and other serious maladies produced by
THESE insalubrious elements it is absolutely nee
essary that the stomach and all the secretive Or
gans should be. so to speak, IN ROBUST cOndi-
ton. Upon the amount of resistance which the
vital system can oppose to the deleteri"us influ-
ences that assail it, the safety of the health de-
ponds, and it is because the GREAT VEGETABLE
INvIGoRANT imparts energy and regularity to
the most important functions of the body, that
it can be recommended and guaranteed an in
valuable preventive medicine.

HIGuwAYMEN IN RoCKINGHAM.-Ou Mon
day evening last. VIM. Herring, son of John
A Herring, ESQ residing near Brldgewater,
IN com pany with his sister and sister-in-law,
started from Harrisonburg. about half past s
o'clock. for their home. When they arrived
at Shaver woods, about two miles from the
town, the carriage was stopped by four men,
who demanded if there were amy women in
side2'' Mr.. Herring Immediately drew a
small Derringer pistol, resolved to defend the
ladies in his charge to the last extremity. One
Of the ruffians presented a pistol at MIR. Her
rings breast, but Mr. Herring fired first, and
the rufian fell to the ground, no doubt mortal
lv wounded A fierce attack was then made
with rocks, by the other three, but fortunately
Mr.. Herring succeeded in mounting his car
rage and driving away without further injury
than slight blow on the leg Mr. H., from
whom we learn the above facts, informs us
that the fash Of his pistol revealed to him the
fact that the assailants were white men. as he
distinctly saw the hand and portion of the
silver mounting on the pistol, as well as gold
stud in the bosom of the man he engaged and
shot Truly, Mr.. H., made miraculous es-
cape from band of murderous villains. No
clue has been ascertaned As to who the parties
were or their motive 10 attacking Mr Herring,
up to the present time We hope they may
be found out, and that punishment melted out
to them which their crime deserves. Harris

TIE FIGHTING In THE LAST BATTLE.-In
the last battle, the French seemed to have
been crushed almost mechanically by the mere
weight of their enemy. The failure Of the
shows how well the French fought; but the
irresistible movement of the German force
along the whole length of the line, which rem
dered it impossible for the French commander
to reinforce any particular part OF his line,
while it was sure to develop all the weak points
10 the French position was the obvious way to
give the Germans the full advantage of their
superiority in numbers. It was the act of a
commander confident of vast numerical superb
ority but the loss must have been very great
so long as the French artiilerists kept heart
