SPECIAL NOTICES.
The Living Machine.

lnjure the main spring Of watch and every
portion of tho works becomes disordered. The
human stomach is to the human system what
that elastic piece Of metal is to u chronometer.
1t inf uences the action Of the other organs an d
controls, TO certain extent, the whole living
machine. The comparison may be carried
further: for as the weakness or other impcr-
fectons Of the main spring is indicated on tho
face of the time piece, also is the weakness
or other disorder Of the stomach betrayed by
the face of the invalid. The complexion is SAL
low or fadod tho oyos arc deficient in lustre
and intelligence, and there is worn, anxious
EXPRESSION in the whole countenaDce which
tell as plainly as written words could do, that
minister to tho wants of the body, and to sus-
tain and renew all its parts, is not performing
its duty. It requires renovating and regulating,
and to accomplish this end HOstetters Stom-
ach Btters may be truly said to bo the
hln0 nseltHi. The broken main spring Of u
watch may be replaced by u new one, but the
stomach can only be repaired and strengthen
ed, and this is one Of the objects Of the famous
vegetable restorative which for eighteen years
has been waging h successful contest with dys-
popsia in all climates. AS specific for indi-
pestion it stands alone. When the resources of
tho pharmacopnia have been exhausted, with

pepsa the liver is moro or less dlsordcred, and
upon this important gland, ns we'll rs upon the

gular distinctness, regulating and relnVigorat-

which bodily and mental health depend.

RETRlRUTION.
A Horrible Crime Horribly Punished at
ereeusbarg, Kentucky.

From the Russellville (Ky.) Herald.l
We are informed that q horrible crime
was committed by negro man, upon the
person Of white lady named Mrs. New
man, ia the neighbOrhOOd of GreenYille,
XIV, on last Friday. In the morning the
lady told her husband that she and her
sen were going TO spend the day at e
neigh bor's house, and il they did not re-
turn that night be need not feel uneasy
Bet Ween her own aud her neigh boris farm
she WIS met by the negro, who violated
her person, then murdered her and her
son. The next morning her husband
his wife and son home, and found them
on the roadside brutsly murdered. The
news soon spread-meE cOllected-inves-
tigated the matter, aud soon we're satis-
fed as 10 who was The guilty wretch.
He was arrested that day, and made
q full confession Of his guilt. While
in the hands OF a. ofiiesr he was taken
possession Of by the excited pOpulace,
who At once decided to smear him with
tar and burn him at the stake; but whilst
che party appointed to procure the tar
was gone, the populace became impatient
and hung the negro 70 tree ill be was
dead His head was then severed from
the body and posted in the public square
of Greeuvilie on q stake set in the ground
in front Of the court house. and no one
was allowed 70 remove It. The leaders Of
the pOpulace are said 10 be Radicals; so
the Radical papers cannot raise howl
this time in relation 10 one Of their party
being murdered by Southern Ku-kluXl
As for US. we care not who were the lead
srs, they did e deed that deserves com
mendation. Let summary justice be in
fiictsd IN all such cases, before they get
into the hands Of the lawyers.

MURDERED HIS WIFE.
An AtrsclOus Deed by Radical Member Of
the Alabama Legislature.

Correspondence of the Montgomery Mail.
ROANOKE, Ala, May 10, lS70.-C0lORel
HodOs0n. Dear Sig'-A most brutal and
fiendish murder was committed in Clay
county, near Ashland, on yesterday, in
which William Taylor was the coWardly
actor. This fiend in human form mis-
represents Chambers county IN the Ala
bama Legislature. Our informant, the
Rev. VIM. Culpepper, tells us that Taylor
had been on a spree for several days, and
had abused his wife 10 that extent that
she appealed to her brother, who resides
near LOpi9a, for protection. She re-
queste9 alm to come and carry her 10 his
home for a few days, as she cOuld@Dot
longer bear her husbands repeated bru-
taliLies.
Her brother went up, but did not take
her back with him, in consequence Of
some Misunderstanding or failure to make
the necessary arrangements for travelling.
She remained, and things grew from bad
10 worse until the afternoon of yesterday,
when they eliminated in her death at the
hands Of him who had promised 10 love,
cherish and protect her.
The inhumaD wretch shot her from the
rear, coward that he was, the ball entering
at the back Of the head and emerging in
froDt-his victim living but one hour.
It il not known what caused him 10
commit this most diabOlical murder.
