Some medical men insist that it is undgnified
lie. Queer reasoning THE. II is like saying that
al article which the world needs should be hid in
a olner-thst benefits and blessings may be too
widely diffused-that the means ef protecting
and restoring health should be close monopO
ly, ard not accessible to all. The argument is
bad 1t is worse han tn at; it is inltu7ndn. Sup
pose Hostetter's Stomach Bitters- absolute
specific for dyspepsia, tilioEsness and nervous
debility had never been known beyond the re-
p5ftoire of the faculty, what would have been
the consequence? Instead Of curing and in
vigorating millions. the good effects of the pre-.
paration would have been confined to q COM
parative few. There is the highest authority for
saying that light should not be hid under bush-
ell; thSt whatever is excellent should be placed
a city hill, where all mon Can take cog
Dizance Of it. 1t ia upon this principle that the
Bitters have been advertised aud continue TO be
advertised in every Newspaper of any promi-
nehce i'll the We tern hemisphere, and that thu
spontaneous testimonials in It's favor havs BIZ en-
translated into all written languages. Thou
sands enjoy perfect health to-day who would
be lauguishing on beds of sickness if the news
papers had not spread The truth 1oidt regard 10
U,iS unequGled illUiJOrGnt ded cOyveOiire far and
wide. Suppose profit has been reaped from this
publicity. Is that any argument against it? If
the public health has been prott cted; if lives have
be en- saved; il the feeble have been strengthened
and the sick restored. great good has been 0t-
Cdntptlsted; and who so mean as to grudGe to
exertions thus directed their fair reward?

The butchers of the market, to their
everlasting credit, saw fit yesterday to
place the market house in mourning. The
Radical authorities of the city ordered the
keeper of the market, Miles Conner, to tear
down the mournfuI emblems. The market
keeper did so, and the movement created
such an intense excitement on High street
that in a few moments crowd of citizens
gathered, Grape was procured. and the evil
dences of community's sorrow were again
as prominently placed in the public mar
ket-place. Everything was done quietly,
notwithstanding the feeling hat prevailed::
We cannot but express our tier contempt
for those who instituted the proceedings
against our market people, who are men
of able and generous impuI ses. and who.
in nations calamity. saw It to honor the
memory of Virginia's her oic dead. We
sincerely hope our Mayor j s not response
BILE for so disgraceful dc ssecration but
we learn that his Honor and James d.
Clements, member of th Board of City
Council, ordered the teari ng down OF the
mourning. Jou'n al.

OBITUARY.

Died, at his residence in this city, at o'clock
on the morning of the 18th instant, of Paralysis
JOHN J. connolly, ESD, aged 81 years, S
months and % days.
The subject of this notice WAS born in the city
of Halifax, Nova Scotia, April 231, 1918. When
but child, death robbed him of the care Of both
parents, after which loss, and when only about
ten years OF age, he left Halifax and went to Bos-
ton, Mass, where he resided two or three years
with q relative Of his family, and where he WAS
placed an apprentice to the trade of a Sad
der. He then removed to New Haven, Conn,
where he remained and continued to pursue his
calling for seven eight years. In 1888 he came
to this city employee Of Mr.. G. q. Hotch-
kiss. In 1647, no succeeded his employer in the
SAddlCcy business, which lac continued to con-
duct until 1857, when he elected special Mag
istrate for the then town Of Wilmington, which
Office he continued to hold by popular election
until superseded by the appOintees OF Governor
Holden. However, at the first election for Mag
istrates which the people were thereafter permit
ted to hold so popular WIS his name for q posi-
ton which he had 80 long and honorably filed,
that he received the highest vote cast for any of
the successful candidates, and the only DEM
ocrat elected in the city at that election.
In private life, Justice Oonoley was known ae
an amiable, generous, charitable man, one ever
conscious of the demands of duty in all of his
| actions affable, courteous, kind, ahectionate
and wetchful in his domestic relations, his death
has caused blank in the household leaf, and
left void in the hearts of thosc whom he loved
and cherished. Tho country has lost useful
citizen, and the world an honest man.

FAYETTEVILLE, n. O.. Oct. Is, 1870.
Dear Journal AS a mark of respect to
the memory of the illustrious dead, the
Patriot, Soldier and Christian, General
Robert E. Lee, all business in this town
was suspended for one hour to-day. The
various church and town bells rang out
their mournful dirges from II to o'clock.
Every place of business in town. save one,
was closed during the tolling of the bells,
and every countenance seemed to import q
feeling of sorrow and grief. The stores
and shops kept by colored men were all
closed. and many stores were draped in
mourning; in fact, our town presented one
scene of sorrow and gloom. On Monday
there will be q meeting of the citizens,
when appropriate resolutions, expressive
of the feelings of the people, will be
adopted.
1t may not be proper to critieise the
feelings of Others, but it would appear
that any one claiming citizenship would,
out OF respect to the feelings of the COM
munity in which he lived, do honor on
such sad and mournful occasion rs this.
especially one who but few weeks since
placed himself before this community beg
glng their suffrage for the position OF
Sheriff OF the county. He ought to re-
member that some day he may be recalled
from earth, and .hen what will his carpet
bag, filled with few thousand dollars of
Cumberland county scrip and U. S. bonds,
avail him Who would then feel like
honoring him. who, alone in this whole
community, attempts to mould public
sentiment
Shoemaker John, one of the Robeson
desperadoes and King murderers, was ar
rested III this vicinity to day and is now in
jail, wearing bracelets of cold iron. There
was one other of the gang with uim, but
he escaped arrest. Bat with true Sheriff
both in Cumberland and Robeson he and
others of the mob may yet be arrested.
