For the Spectator.


Mr. Jno Tsree, who is perfectly blind and
helpless, and who is now in his 9th year. came
very near being burnt to death in his house
one day last week by negro boy only ii years
old. The family were all a short distance from
the house at Sugar Camp, making maple
sugar, when they saw a smoke at the house
One of the family went back to see what was
the matter This little negro boy had made
fire under the steps, to burn the house down,
and at the same time prevent this old man
from making his escape What ever induced
the boy to do this is only conjecture. He will
not tell anything. What ought to be done
with him, Mr. Editor? Ought he not to be
hung?
The individual who sent US the above failed
to state where the occurrence took place, and
failed. also to furnish us with his name. The
post-mark was illegible, so that we have no
means of locating the occurrence. These omis-
sions are calculated to attach discredit to the
communication. In publishing it, We violate
the rule of the Press which requires all COM
,nunications to be accompanied by response

w tell our readers that the wells and springs
throughout the country had been poisoned and
that we had discovered an antidote to its effects
not one ofthem that would not gladly avail them
selves of our discovery, with the hope ofavertng
death five were to tell them that we had dis
covered mine OF treasure, enough for them and
us, and we were prepared TO share with them
not one would refuse aid TO fortune. But as
health is more valuable than riches, how much
more gratifed should they be to learn that
great panacea had been compounded of purely
vegetable matter, and that its curative powers
were little less certain than light and darkness
Need we give you Instances # so, call on the
proprietor of BAKERS BITTERS and examine
the myriads Of certificates, from ali sections of
the South, of persons who have been cured OF
dyspepsia by its all healing properties. Among
them you will see the vouchers of the old and
young, male and female, exto,ling this BITTERs
to the skies, and blessing Providence for its cura
tive poweFs. But its virtues are not confined to
dyspepsia. Nervous headaches yield readily to
It's powers. Torpid livers become quickened and
made active by its influence. Sour stomachs are
made healthy by its neutralizing effects In
digestion disappears when 1t enters the organs of
life Diarrhoea cannot resist It's tonic powers
And cholera itself, when met with these BIT
TIERS. is promptly diserned and becomes per-
fectly harmless as thousands Of persons have GER
titled, who used it in 1919 and So when that
seourge was devastating tbs country. BAKERS

lty but such diseases as arr caused By the stom-
