A LITTLE DARKKY IN TRoUDLE-A Portland
paper relates that q colored lad entered n drug
store with what he described as an lawful
feeling in de stomach, Jest like il wor full of
hsh-hooks and angle worms" and demanded
u "Setler powder" as he had been advised
that it would give relief. Accordingly the
Seidlitz powders were dissolved in separate
glasses, AS usual, and placed before him, with
instructions to pour one into the other and
drink while effervescing. But the sable youth
did nothing of the sort. Instead of following
the directions he hastily drank off the con-
tents of one glass and Immediately swallowed
the other. The effect may be imagined but
not described. The effervescence which should
have taken place in the glass before it was
drank. took place in the bewidered darkey's
stomach, sending streams of the frothy liquid
from his mouth, snose, eyes and ears. AS
soon as the poor fellow could recover breath,
he cried out in frightened tones: "My stomach
has busted; / can't live minute can't live
u minute!' In a few moments. however, he
felt better, and turning to depart, he said:
dat stuff may work well nuf on de white

THE SINGER SEWING MACuIyE.

In the Chronicle, this week, appears the
Advertisement of the singer Sewing Ma
chine. This machine is rapidly gaining.
and IA now ahead Of all competitors, and
Will soon become the onlymachine used
in families. There are now in daily use
500, 900, and l00,006were sold last Year, and
for 1870 the mGltitudes who want and will
buy the Singer is beyond calculation. We
have one, and can recommend them TO our
friends as the best sewing machine in use
and well deserves the name of the "Fhvor-
ite." Mr.. w. NJ. Pollock is Agent for the
Singer, in this city, Office with z. II. Jones.
In order that persons of limited means
may buy a machine, this gentleman pro-
poses to let them take the machine and
make monthly installments of tl0 until
the price of the machine isreached, when
he gives O receipt In full. No one need say
~ cannot buy machine" for they are
now within the reacl, of all persons, and
most any one who knows how to manage
the machine may easily make twice the
amount of the monthly payment, besides
doing all the family work. IN this connec-
ton, we will add that he also gives full
instruction to every one rs to their man
agement. This gentleman Is well and fa-
vorably known In GAINESVILLE and the sur
rounding country as an energetic, reliable
business man, and any orders given or
sent to him for the "Singcr" will receive
his prompt and Immediate attention.

NOyes Circus-JuIy 18th.

This magnificent establishment will
exhibit in GAINESVILLE, Monday July
4th. We copy the following para
graph from the New Orleans Times
MOVES CREsENT CITY CIRCUS.
The public interest in the new
place of amusement opened at the
corner of Nillere and Canal streets,
seems i'm no wise abated. Last night
one of the larges audiences of the
week witnessed the performance,
which is well worthy of the patron
age bestowed upon it. 1t is very rare
that we have an entertainment of
this description deserving of so much
praise. 1t is both novel and anus
ing. The parade of the knights,
their combats, and the imitation of
the ancient tourney. are both novel
and amusing. The riding, too, is
very fine; and the exhibitions made
by the leaping and tumbling is some
thing marvellous. The visitor, too,
has the opportunity Of seeing Mile
Turnour In her startling feat upon
the flying trapeze, and of seeing many
other strange and amusing spccta-
cles. No one should neglect visiting
the circus.

IDAHO SPRINGS. We intended to
write an article In reference to the
opening this season at these de-
lightful Springs, but our neighbor of
the Leaf has all the facts in the fol-
lowing, which we copy entire:
This place of popular resort three
miles from the city, Will be open for
reception of invalides on the first OF
July. The virtue of these Springs Is
Unsurpassed by any, and.has the en-
dorsement of the leading physicians
of the country. The Springs are near
Dunbar's Cave, one of the most de-
lightful summer resorts that we have
ever visited, place where one might
remain all summer and never expert
ence the pressure of heat or know
that it was summer.
The carewOrn and lifeless will find
fresh IMMIGRATION and ready relief
for depressed spirits and threadbare
constitution, Mrs. Sam Brockman
has charge of the boarding house
which is an assurance to the public
that it will be properly conducted.
Last season the style was not sur
passed by the best city Hotels, fol-
lowing is the rate of Charges: Board
per day $3.50; per week, $O2.50; per
month $4,000; Single meal, SLIGO.
Citizens of GAINESVILLE desiring the
use of these mineral waters will ro-
cure season tickets, price $500.
The spring will be kept in the best
order for which purpose man is es-
pecially employed. q

Irenu,h.s Best Defence.

"The weak eateth herbs." says st. Paul,
so that eighteen hundred years ago the
valueof medicinal plants was appreciated
In the Old Testament botanical remedies
are repeatedly recommended, but in no
passage of sacred history is man recon-
mended to swallow calomei, or blue pill,
or any other mineral preparation. The
sick were directed to eat herbs to strengthen
them, to purify them, to heal them, to re-
store them. In that day the art of making
vegetable extracts was unknown. The
herbal medicines we're mere infusions.
1t was reserved tor a later age to unite the
sanitary essences of tonic, aperient and
ambitious roots, barks and plants, with
an active stimulent, and thus Secure their
rapid u fusion through the debilitated or
disor,lrs Il system. The browning triumph
of thiseilcctive mode OF concentrating and
applying the virtues of medicinal vegeta-
bles was achieved in the production of
Hostetter's stomach Bltters Never before
had perfectly pure alcoholic stimulant
been combined with the expressed juices
OF the finest specifics Of the vegetable king
dom. Never yet, though eighteen years
have elapsed since its Introduction. has
this great restorative been equailed. 1t lis
taken at all seasons, in all climes, as the
most potent safeguard against epidemics,
as u protection aeninst all unhealthy ex-
halations that produce debility or beget
disease; rs remedy for Intermittent and
other malarious fevers as an appetizer; as
a sovereign cure for dyspepsia; as general
tonic and invigorant; az a gentle, painless
aperient; as blood depurent; as nervine;
as cure for bilious affections; as a HARM
less anodyne; and as the BEST defence of
health under unfavorabie circumstances,
such as sedantary pursuits, undue bodily
or mental exertion, hardship, privation
and exposure.

The mortality was but slightly increased
over that of 1868 and was twenty eight per
cent. less than the expectation according
to the tables used by the Company. The
Interest and miscellaneous receipts show
steady increase, and again more than
paid the losses of the year; IN lSOs, this ex-
cess of Interest over losses was So, l0l, and
la Il year it was sll2Oj3 The large payment
of cash dividends made in 1868 was also in
creased sj09,jIi in 1859, and yet the assets
were Increased over two millions and II
quarter by the business al the year.
These results are substantial success.
They are such AZ Incidence, incflicicncy
and carelessness can never compass. The
questions they answer are the test ques-
tons which determine beyond cavil the
real standing and progress of n company /;
and these questions are answered In a man

sonably he always expected; yet these re-
suits are an unanswerable proof of past

DISTRICT MEETING.

The GAINESVILLE District Confer
tence met at New Providence, Tenn,
June 30th, 1870, Rev. A. Mizell, pre-
siding. Rev. j. w. Cullom was elect
ed Secretary. There was a very large
attendance of the ministers of the
District, but rather small atten-
dance Of the lay delegates. A good
deal of interest was manifested in
the organization of the Conference
and arrangement of Committees
a general disposition was manifested
to probe every interest of the church
within the bounds of the District
1t was announced that II. H. Rivers,
ID. d., of Louisville, KY, was ex-
pected to be with US on tomorrow
friday evening, and remain during
the sitting of the Conference. He
is looked for with q great deal of in
terest both by ministers and tile
people.
The delivery of the Introductory
sermon, by Rev. f. II. Hart, was
postponed from II o'clock, A. NJ, to
$50 r. M, at which time he delivered
an excellent discourse on a Divine
call to the ministry, showing clearly
that ii was Of God, and not of man;
charging upon its design and require
ments, greatly to the edification and
comfort of those self-sacriicing men
who had forsaken all secular pursuits,
and all fond ambition of earthly ag-
grandizement and gain to preach the
unsearchable riches ofChrist. 1t was
like precious ointment.
sThe above is a synopsis of first
days proceedings, we will give the
remaining days work in orr next.

BUILDING AssocIATIoN.--A meet
ing for the purpose of organizing the
Mechanics and Laborers' Co.opera-
tive Building Association Of Clarks
vile, Tenn, was held at the Office of
{. II. Jones, Insurance Agent, on the
night of the. 10Th of June. The meet
ing was called to order by J. p. Y.
Whitfield, who was chosen temporary
President, and c. II. Jones appointed
temporary Secretary and Receiver,
and after the object of the meeting
was explained by the President, books
were opened for subscriptions to the
Capital Stock, which is to consist Of
! five hundred shares, of one hundred
dollars per share, payable in weekly
installments of twenty-fivecents each
week, for every share of stock taken.
The object Of this organization is for
furnishing means to every renter,
who owns real estate, a chance of
building himself house. We are
preparing to print, in pamphlet form,
the Constitution and Bylaws of the
Association, and hope to have them
ready for distribution by Monday,
when all can ascertain more fully the
objects and intention of this enter
prise. We want to see the people
take hold of this thing and put it
through, as great good, in our opinion,
will accrue therefrom to most valu-
able portion of our citizens, and afford
them an advantage not to he had else
where at so small sacrifice. Next
to Life Insurance, it cannot be exceed
ed. Its advantages TO the mechanic
or laborer who owns small piece of
land or town lot, are great to those
who patr0nize it. One hundred shares
were Immediately taken, and that,
too, by some of our safest and best
citizens. E
