KosKoo.-This medicine is rapid
ly gaining the confidence Of the
people, aud the numerous testimOn-
ials Of its virtues, given by prac-
titioners Of medicine, leaves no
doubt that Il is q safe and reliable
remedy for impurity Of the blood,
Liver disease, &c.
The last Medical j Journal contains
an article from Prof. r. s. New
ton, II. d., President Of the Z Med
cal College, city of New York, that
speaks in high terms of its curative
properties, and gives q special re-
cOmmendation Of KOskoO to the
practitioners of medicine. This is,
we believe, the fret instance where
snch medicines have been officially
endorsed by the Faculty of any OF
the medical colleges, and reflects
great credit upon the skill of DR.,
Lawrence, its compOunder, and
also puts "Koskoo" in the VAN OF
all others medicines of the present
day.

Prince AHfFaasa oHons WigaF
Hunt-.aso Elephants - shs
Raaids

Prince Alfred, the Duke ef "a.
inburg, is enjoying himself greatly
in India. In February he was
magniGcently entertained near the
boundaries Of Nepaul, by Sir Jung
BahadOor, 8 native Prince, Of i'm
mense wealth.
The Duke reached his camp on
the banks of the Mohan river,
which separates Dude from Ne
paul, ut $3.50 on the morning Of the
23d Of February. Soon after.
ward Sir Jung BahadOor, who was
encamped on the opposite bank,
came across to meet and congratu-
late his royal guest. He was in
full state costume, and wore .
splendid head-dress, valued at
thirty-five thousand dollars in
gold. After q pleasant interview,
Sir Jung BahadOor having laid
aside his elegant attire and re-
placed it by a hunting costume,
the two princes set out for the
great tiger hunt which the Indian
host had planned for the enter
tainment of the Royal English
man. The battle which followed
is described as absolutely unique.
There were upward of $50 hunting
elephants in the field; a tiger was
soon started out of the jungle, and
by mastery management was grad.
ually so hemmed in by elephants
that at last that these formed q
complete circle Of not more than
sixty yards diameter, with only the
Prince, Sir Jung BahadoOr, and
the tiger in the central space.
When the latter realized his cit
uation, he ran roaring round and
round the circle trying to find ar
exit, and at last made a rush al
what seemed probably the weakest
point in the circle. This, how
ever, was just in front Of the
Dukes elephant, and q we'll. direct
ed shot from his Royal High
ness rolled him over, though
it took two or three NOR,
balls to finish him. 1t wa
an understood thing that no on
but the Duke was to fire and Il
give an idea of Sir JuDg's con
summate courtesy, 1t may be no
ticed that he had dismOunte,
from his own elephant and climb
ed into the state howdah, whicI
by his orders had been prepare,
for the Duke, where he sat benin,
his royal visitor, not firing him
self, but handing gun after gun +
the Duke as he required them.
The dinner that night in cam
is said to have been, considerin
where it wac, a sight OF itse
worth a journey. About 8 2. n
the tent door opened, and in Ion
detilc entered a string Of GoOrl
has, bringing trays Of presents
beautiful knives, elephants teetl
tiger skins, China silks, mus
pods, the current coins of Nepau
and a small elephant (whO objeC
ed very much TO the festivities
and last Though not least inte
, esting) q baby tiger, only ten do,
p or q fortnight old, which made
. self quite at home on the table wi
r the dessert, and allowed itself
be caressed and made a pet Of
once.

We understand that 1t is the de-
termination Of Judge OsgOOd to
hold 8 term Of the Criminal Court,
beginning on Monday next, and that
orders have been issued TO the
Sheriff to summon the usual juries.
Il is a matter Of serious doubt
whether any such court as the
Criminal Court is now known TO
law, and the weight Of opinion
seems 70 be that it's existence termi-
mated upon the adoption Of the
Constitution and It is grAvely as
serted By lawyers that its entire
proceedings will be invalid, its
convictions void, its sitting q mere
item Of expense of the county,
without benefit or advantage Of any
kind.
Besides, the courts are all in
process Of formation; our lawyers
to ascertain what Is the
exact condition of affairs our peo-
pie, now planting and at work, so
that q term now will be q cause Of
excited discussion, dOuOt and trou-
Bile.
The last term Of the court caused
the county several thousand dollars
expense, and that should be saved
to be expended upon courts certain
Of legal existence, and not upon
what is doubtful and uncertain.
1t is to be hoped, and we believe
Il to be the wish of the people and
Of the bar, that the court should not
be held.

TIE FATAL sHHRT.
Il Causes the Death Of SIX DiGs
feFeaS persons,

From a physician practicing in
Kentucky, We obtain the follow.
ing details Of q singularly tragic
story:
A short time ago q white man
living near Hopkinsville had an
attack OF smallpox. He was not
very neat Ia his habits, or else
had poor nursing, aud he did not
change his shirt during his entire
illness. When convalescent, he
gave the garment to a negro wo-
man, with injunction to bury it
deep in the ground, for fear Of
communicating the dreadful dis
ease to others. But Aunty was
of q utilitarian turn, and
thought it q sin to throw away
go good . shirt while there we're
so many backs to cover. So she
subjected it to q careless sort Of
washing, and presented it to her
husband, who appeared at church
next sunday in all the glory Of
billed shirt" The next day he
was seized with smallpox and
died soon after--and so did five
others, who successfully came into
possession of this garment Of
dca.h.
The above statement is youched
.or by our informant and We give
itas told us. 1t may be truly re-
marked that the shirt was more
terribly fatal than the tabled gar
meut OF Nessus, for the latter ter.
minated the career Of but one vic
tin-Hercules-whilc the former
brought six loyal voters to an un-
timely grave Nashville Banner.

ing half a mile below he can de-
liver it without cost. There Is
the loss to the city. This landing
so far below the city entails upon
the consumer another great ex-
pense. Those goods delivered at
this lower landing must be
brought to this portion Of the city
for sale. This will require addi-
tiOnal cost in drayage over what
is now demanded.
Suppose the river cuts through
the point at Delta, will q steam
boat ever come up to the present
landing9 Never. Every steam.
boat will land below and the town
will be forced down there to meet
them and the railroad.
Can this thing be avoided? It
can by permitting the railroad to
reach the river at some point near
the business portion Of the city.
Where can this be doneE Down
Mulberry street. But the railroad
company claim that an attempt was
made to do this and they were pre-
vented by an injunction. The
injunction was not sued out To
prevent a street railroad, but to
prevent the putting down of the
kind attempted by the company
The road, as was attempted to b.
laid, would have made that street
perfectly impossible. Let the
street be graded and paved and
road put down, such as can b'
found in other cities. II Mulber
ry street will not do, then e
down Depot street. At the rive
can be erected all the necessary
hosting apparatus, and at th'
foot of that street is space sufil
cient for all purposes. 1t is true
that in all probability. the roaC
will have to be built upon tres
ting. Suppose so its cost will no
be very great, because the dis
tance is short, an beneath thi
trcstled road there could be pass
ing at all times. Ifthis route vii
not do then build a road from th,
two mile bridge, following tn,
valley or the ridge around ant
striking the river north Of tn
city. These plans are all feasabl
and but little more, If as expeI
sive, as the one now contemplated
BY all means give the road a rive
terminus, for its business impert
lively demands; but do not give
one which will suck away the cit
from its present site.
