DEAR SIRs During long residence in Chi
ma, / have used your invaluable Pain Killer,
both In my own family and among the Chinese,
and have found it most excellent medicine. In
the summer of 1852 while residing in Shanghai,
L found it an almost certain cure for Cholera, ii
used In time. Indeed, using it in a great many
instances do not remember failing in a single
case. For three years / have been residing in
this place, more than fifty miles from a physi-
clan, and have been obliged often to fall upon
my own resources ia cases of sickness. The
Chinese come to us in great numbers for medi-
cine and advice Though without medical
knowledge ourselves, the few simple remedies
we can command are so much in advance even
of their physicians that we have almost daily ap-
plications. We allow them to come, because it
brings US in contact with them, and opens door
of usefulness In dlarrhea, collie, vomiting
cholera, coughs, etc, your PAIN KILLER has
been my chief medicine.

Shenandoah Valley.

The Editor of the Lynchburg Nrgiaian who
has recently paid visit to the lower portion Of
this noble Valley of Virginia, thus speaks of
it:
The scenes of rural peace and plenty to be
found In many portions of Virginia are truly
refreshing and cheering Especially is this the
case in what is known as the great Shenandoah
Valley. We have recently passed through
large portion of that favored region, and were
never more struck with its beauty or with the
abundant gifts which muni6cent Providence
has showered upon it than then. From Staun-
ton down to its lowest borders it is one pro-
loDged garden spot, blooming like a verdure
clad oasis. All traces of grim war have been
swept away by the hand of industry; and the
brutal boast of Sheridan that he would so des-
olate it that a crow would have to carry lis
rations while flying over it, exists only in the
infamy of the past. The barns and dwellings,
which his torch bearing marauders leveled to
the earth have been rebuilt; the destroyed
fencing has been replaced, and overfowing
gamers and waving fields of corn and grass
proclaim the triumph Of nature over the bar
barism of man. 1t is pleasant to behold the
evidences of thrift and prosperity which have
so soon followed in the track of fire and sword.
The fertile fields which there abound, respon-
sive to the toll of man are giving out gener-
Gus yield of the fruits of the earth, and she'd
ding abroad happy influence on the people. =
Mature was indeed in munfcent and prod
igal mood when she formed and fashioned the
great Valley of Virgins"

JAMES PAGAN, AGENT FOR THE
Howe Sewing Machine.
STANTON, VA.

STANTON, VA,
Having used Machines for many years, is fully
acquainted with them, and is prepared to recon-
mend the HOWE above ALL OTHERS as best
adapted to the various purposes of family use.
If any Importance attaches to any awards made
at late years, they are those of the Exposition
Universelle, at Paris, 1867, where all the princi-
pal Sewing Machines of the world were in COM
petition. and were thoroughly tested. The pr-
yes awarded to the Howe Company and noao IN
their possession, were the Great Imperial Prize
THE GRAND CROSS OF THE LEGION OF
HONOR-the highest prize in the gift of the Ju-
ry-a Gold Medal and Silver Medal.
This unequalled machine is adapted to every
variety of sewing from the finest muslins to the
heaviest cloths, without changing thread,
An agent in Staunton tried to prevent people
from buying the Howe by saying the shuttle
wears OUT as the only fault he could find with
it; but we warrant it to run 10 hours per day for
three years, and if the shuttle wears out In less
time. we will furnish new one gratis.
A good operator will go with each machine
and full instruction given. Machines sold will
also be kept in repair one gear free of charge
Persons ordering machines will order by the
following letters:
A-Machine (for family use) plain, without
cover, price ..... SEQ
The same machine, with fuckers & corders, IS
A-Machine, all complete, with cover from
plain box up to cabinet case, prices from 20

B-Machine for tailors, (plain) price ......... 70
C-Machine for boot shoe and harness ma
kers and carriage trimmers, -,........... So
QUALITIES WHICH ARE PECULIAR
TO AND RECOMMEND THE
HOWE SEWING MACHINE
L. Beauty and excellence ofstitch alike on both
sides of the fabric sewed.
2 Strength, beauty and durability ofseam that
will neither rip ravel. t--
g. Complete control over both threads.
a. An entirely new rotary tension for the up
per thread, which contributes so much to that
beauty and uniformity of stitch for which the
Howe Machine" is so celebrated
5. A perfectly uniform tension in the shuttle
which does not vary from full to an empty
bobbin-an objection SO common to other ma
chimes.
6. An automatic self regulating take-up that
prevents missing of stitches in crossing heavy
seams.
I. Short strai ght and strong needles, not liable
to break In passing over heavy seams, as do the
curved needles OF other machines.
| s. Finer needles for the same thread than anv
other machine.
| 9. Sewing equally we'll with any kind of thread.
10. Economy of thread beyond that of any
other machine.
| IL. A hemmer that will make any width OF
| Hem or Fell -
| II. Branding the most complicated patterns with
/ any width and kind of Braid
Ii. A Quilter that will adjust itself to any

LETTER FROM ARIZONA rERR1roRY

The letter we publish this week on the frs t
page from the distant Territory of Arizona will
be read with interest. 1t is written by soldier
in the command of Gen. Stoneman now engaged
in paying his military respects to the red sons of
the forest in that distant country. 1t gives in
detail the circumstances attending the big TALK
between Col. o. Beirne and the Indian Chief,
Oachacoeme, and concludes with describing The
unique mode of Indian courtship as witnessed by
the author of the letter. 1t may suggest to white
lovers a new way of popping the question. -
Beaux might ask their dulcineas, ''if they would
bite bean with them" IF this mode be a
dopted, biting reply would not, as now be
dreaded.

GREENvILLE, Augusta county. Va,
Et July 9th, 1870.
Mr. George E.. Prace.
DEAR bIR:-I am pleased to answer your
quiries in regard to my experience with the Phos-
phates as have used them for the past four
years. including the principal leading varieties
sold in this section, and generally with good
suits. Both experience and observation of my
neighbors' operations. lead me to give decided
preference to Baughs, which has, think, pecat-
Tar merit in its application to Grass. Last fall
was induced to try other varieties to the neg
lect of Baugh's, but find it was to my great
loss, and for the future shall use it alone, as
am satisfied it is the BEST. My father gives it
the preference over all others. 9
The durability of the effects of Baughs is we'll
seen IN the field of neigh Dor, where FIVE years
ago it was used by the side of Peruvian Guano
The effect of Baugh's over the Guano is well and
distinctly marked to the present time, and will
doubtless continue so for many years The eff
fects of the latter have entirely disappeared.
