RocI BoTrom-A party of men, properly
equipped, went out. one day last week, to as
certain, :by actual test, what there was in the
theory of rock bottom to the river. The point
selected was Jast above town. About one hum
dred feet from this shore, they found the rock
thirteen feet below the surface of the water,
which averages from ten to twenty feet III
depth the whole way across. thus showing the
rock to be but little below the bottom of the
river bed. They then proceeded to point
halfway, ACROSS the river, where they again
sounded ana drilled, and found the rJck thirty
two feet below the alter surface. Beyond this
point they would not venture. a.. they had de
Esred tie exploration too long, and found that
tks sse you'd not bear them any farther toward
the eastern shore. These examinations leave
no doubt that there is rock bottom the whole
distance across the river, bit that it is deeper
down as it approaches the eastern side Of the
river. = ~

.Roback,s stomach Biaters.

Some time ago, DR.. Roback, of Cincin-
natl. through his agent in this place, ]. A.
Maxwell, Esq, placed in our hands a bottle
of his Stomach Bitters, designed for dys-
pepsia, to give tone to the stomach, as a
preventive against the bilious complaints
incident to the Western country and, up
on using it, we regard it as second to none
in America or abroad. To be able to state
confidently that the Bitters are a certain
cure for dyspepsia and like diseases, is
to the proprietor a PURGE of unalloyed
pleasure. 1t removes all morbid matter
from the stomach, purifes the blood, i'm
parts renewed vitality to the nervous sys-
tenn, giving it that tone and energy SO indis-
pensable for the reservation of health. The
numerous acknowledgements gifts superior
excellence and beneficent results, have as
sured the proprietor that it can not but
prove a great cure to the afflicted, and i'm
part vitality to the through system. We
advise those who use bitters, to use none
but Roback's, which can be obtained at J.
A. Maxwell's Drug Store, in Upper San
dusky.

Bathing.

AS this is the season for swimming
a contemporary offers the following ad-
vice to boys:
|. Never go into the water less
than two hours after eating--it is
better still to make it three.
2. Never go into the water when
much exhausted. 1t will do no harm
to 60 in when you are warm and per-
spring, if YOU are not tired.
3. Never go into the waite when
you feel cold and chilly.
4, Never etav in long enough to
make you feel chilly
5. Swim and exercise vigorously
while in the water.
g. Wipe dry before dressing II
the sun shines, expose the body to its
rays a short time before dressing.
z. Asa rule, do not go in more
than once a day.

The Killing of Hon. E. Holbrook in
Idaho City.

On Saturday evening, about talt-
past eight o'clock, at Idaho City, a
shooting affair took place between
Charles Douglas and Mr.. Holbrook,
which resulted in the death of the lat
ter. There are a great many rumors
afioat somewhat contradictory In their
purport, but as far as we CAN learn it
appears that Mr.. Holbreok was sitting
in front of his law office, adjoining
Mr. B~elknap's drug store, when ne
was approached by Douglas. who ask
ed him if he (Ho!brook) had called
him a coward. Holb,ok replied III the
affirmative, when Douglas drew his re-
volver and fired, the ball taking effect
in the lower portion of the abdomen
of Mr.. Holbrook. Mr. Holbrook
Immediately jumped upon his feet,
drew his revolver and fred at Dou-
glass, who retreated a ouad the
corner, followed by HolhrooG. A
number OF shots passed through The
the bow window OF the drug store,
completely demolishing everything.
IN all, about ten shots were fired.
Douglas escaped unlurt. another
account states that the first firing by
the parties was simultaneous; still an
other, hat Holprook fired the first
shot. Holbrook survived the wound
about twelve hours, retaining his on
sciousness, and expressing his sa~tisfac-
ton at having failed to hit Douglass.
Deceased was buried with Masonic
honors.

by reference to DIR. Roback's advertise,

the Doctor has just introduced a new ar,
ticle in the line of Stomach Bitters ,
These Bitters are destined to become very
popular, from the fact that they are genuine
in every sense of the term that is, they
derive their stimulus from the powerful
tonic nature of the roots and herbs of which
they are composed, and hence their effect is
natural. We nave had the pleasure of ties d
ing the qualifications of these Bitters, and
