KosKoo.-This medicine is rapidly gaining
the confidence of the people, and the nu~
merous testimonials of its virtues, given by
practitioners of medicine, leaves no doubt
that it is a safe and reliable remedy for I'M
PURITY OF THE BLOOD, LIVER DISEASE. &C.
The last Me0icdt journal containsan article
from Prof r. S. Newton, NJ D., President
of the T. Medical College, city Of New York,
that speaks in high terms of its curative prop
critics, and gives special Recommendation of
Koskoo to the practitioners of medicine
This is, we believe, the first instance where
such medicines have been officially endorsed
by the Faculty of any of the medical colleges,
and reflects great credit upon the skill of DIR.
Lawrence, its comrornder, and also puts
'Koskoo" in the VAN of all other medicines
of the present day.

REV. II. SHAULL, OF EDINBURG.-The
Rev. gentleman, whose name heads this par
agraph, is, We regret to learn and to state, soon
20 dissolve the relation of pastor which he
holds to his people in the Valley of the Shen-
andoah. At joint Consistorial meeting held
in the Union Forge Church, on the 18th inst,
he rendered to that body his resignation of
the pastorate Of the Edinburg charge. After
much hesitancy and debate upon the subject,
it was very reluctantly accepted, and a reso-
luton was passed, joining him in requesting
the Chassis of Virginia to dissolve the connec-
ton between them az pastor and people
Sundry resolutions of gratitude and common
dation were passed in regard to his ability as
i scholar and as preacher, and his zeal and
efficiency as pastor. His moral character as
a christian and as christian minister were
declared to have to been, during his sojourn
of two years and half among them, urex-
ccptional and without reproach; and he
was warmly commended to the confidence of
the christian public and the entire membership
of the Reformed Church, as Il minister Of the
gospel in every way worthy Of the highest re-
gard and the most implicit confidence of the
Church also the deepest and most profound
regrets that the pleasant and agreeable TeIa-
tons which they have held between them as
pastor and people, were now, by the force of
circumstances over which they had no control,
about to be broken up.
Mr. Shaull is a native of Jefferson, with
whom We are personally acquainted. He is
a gentleman of high christian character and
intelligence, and is universally admired by
his friends in this county.

DEATH OF JOHN H. LoNGNEcKER.-The
ssubject of this notice died at his residence in
Towsontown, Baltimore county, on the nth
instant, in the SD year of his age. He was
born in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, but
removed to this State many years ago, and
settled in Baltimore county, where he soon,
on account of his bland manners and social
qualities, became popular. He early engaged
in politics, and was three times the candidate
of the Wing party for Sheriff, but on ac-
count of the weakness of his party in that
county, he was each time defeated, but was
subsequently elected County Clerk, and
served until the election which followed the
adoption of the Constitution of 1867. Upon
the election Of Gen. Grant to the Presidency,
he received an appointment in the Custom
House at Baltimore, which position he held
up to the time of his death.
Mr. Longnecker was an uncompromising
politician, and at one time conducted the
Baltimore County american, with consider
able ability and success. In private life he
was one of the most genial and hospitable of
men; kind, obliging and cheerful in DISPOSE
ton, ever ready 10 help the needy, and lavish
ofhis bounties when distress and want called
upon him

THE OYSTER FLEET IN THE DUcKING
WATERS OF HARFoRD.--On Monday morn
ing last the oyster police steamboat, Capt.
Hunter Davidson, arrived at Havre de Grace,
in this county. Discovering as the first OBJ
ject of his search, what he supposed to be a
suspicious cessel, in the shape of scoao, he dis
patched a boat with IN officer to board and
search it. This was resented by the men on
the scow, who demanded his authori-
ty for the proceeding The boat returned
and Capt. ID. proceeded in person to the sus-
pected craft, and as his authority drew his
pistol, saying This is my authority" The
valiant captain was not resisted, on this evil
dence of power, and made his search, but
found neither guns, decoys or any other sus-
picious property eontraband Of the ducking
war. Subsequently, however, Capt. D. secu-
red as trophies three sink boxes and some
200 decoys, and proceeded to blockade the
town to prevent the ingress of any ducking
craft that might wish to enter.

INNooENTs ABRoAD.-Who is the person,
young or old, who would not enjoy Mark
Twain's great work-the representative book
ofthe humor ofthe day. Any one who would
fail to appreciate the combined good sense
and racy humor that this book abounds with,
should buy it and read and study it until his
taste becomes educated up to the proper
standard to enjoy it. Its merits are manifold,
but you might as well attempt to catch and
fix the sparkle upon the champagne, as it is
poured into the goblet, as to essay to give a
true idea of the sparkling description of men
and things to lie found in the "Innocents
Abroad" And this is but one feature of the
work. Beside this, it contains true and
faithful descriptions, given in all seriousness
and sober carnestness, Of spots of worldwide
interest, delineated with master hand and
in an original manner. We say to all who
have not yet purchased the book, buy it by
all means. Mr.. II. N. Hinc, the agent fol-
this county, is now taking orders for it al
the following rates:
In Fine English Cloth Beveed Sprinked Edges, $3.50

STILL ANOTHER MONSTER DRUMHEAD-
The cabbages in this neighborhood seem to
be on the rampage and each trying to Guido
the other in weight and plumpness. Mr.. j.
H. Quimby, near the Hickory, brought in
one last week that measured feet 3 inches
in circumference and weighed, with the usual
stripping off of root and ground leaves, 274
pounds. Just think of the sauer krout such
q cabbage would supply.
