GUNNER GOMPLAINT.-Th fact


y now too well established for any one to at
tempt to controv ert it, that most of the diseases
which often prove fatal in summer, are produced
by excessive of fruits and vegetables, by
which the stomach is disordered the liver de-
ranged, the blood stagnated and the digestive
organs rendered inactive if not torpid. Cholera,
Cholera Morbus, Bilious and Cramp Cholic,
Dysentery, Diarrhea and such like complaints
terminate and thrive upon improper food and
often become so deep seated and fixed upon the
constitution, that the strongest and most active
mineral medicines are unable to arrest their
progress until the patient is PROSTATE, and all
hopes of relief are ended Who is it that has
not seen fine, healthy infant adult, seized
with one of the annoying diseases above spoken
of, and despite the skill and science of medical
gentlemen literally waste away under their treat
ment2 And how is this treatment to be account
ed for? Simply by the fact, that instead of adj
ministering remedy to stay the failing
strength of the afflicted and at the same time
check the disease in its progress, the remedy pre-
scribed aided in the exhaustion of the natural
strength, and at the time the disease was MASTER
ed the sufferer was PROSTATE, and failing to excite
reaction the patient died from the effect of the
poison administered to uproot the disease Not
so with Bakers Premium Bitters, which are
composed entirely of vegetable matter, and
which have not only proved themselves the best
tonic in use but have never failed to correct dis
orders of the stomach and bowels when taken
cording to directions In the cure of Summer
Complaints they have no equal.
These incompatible Bitters are sold by DR.. N.

100000
Rent from the B. & o. r. r. on the
guaranteed profits of the stock for
Value of stock of the county......-......


Balance for the county to pay....:...-... $2z,OO
But as the two years interest has to be paid
before the Road is completed and the ST., 1000
of profit or stock cannot be realized until the
Road is in operation, therefore the amount to
be raised by taxes is $4,000 in two years or
$4,000 each year.
The value of taxable property real and per-.
sonal of Augusta county in 1868, was over
$4,000, 900 and it is confidently estimated now
by our best fnanciers. that its present value is
$l5,OO0,O00 If we take the estimate at $l2,-
900, 600 the necessary tax to raise the $4,000
of interest will be Is cents on the 800 of
property and at $l5, 100000 it will be only II
cents on the 800 or less than of l per cent
for two years only.
Thus it is demonstrated beyond the POSSIBLE
itv of doubt that for the small addition to
YOUR tax for two years of II cents on the 800
Won can secure all the benefits and profits of
the Road and the distribution of 81 1850, 600 in
the county while making the Road, add to the
value of your property from Is to so per cent
and give you ON $40 to $40 profit for every
dollar YOU pay in tax. These are facts which
can be proven by evidence that would stand
the test of any Court of Justice-facts that
cannot be refutcd Be wise then in time and
vote for your own interest, the interest of the
county, and reject the advice of the penny wise
and hound foolish, who would skin flint for
cent and spoil knife worth sixpe1ce.

heads of Timothy, taken from the meadow of an
Augusta farmer, and challenged Rockingham to
beat them. We accept. Mr.. w E. Roller ex-
his farm near Mount Crawford, the aggregate
length of which is 158 inches-the longest meas

the head. When Augusta beats this, we wish to
be informed of the fact.-Otd Commonwealth.

Messrs. TETER & HITE-GENTs;
Three years ago this july my wife was bitten
on one of her fingers by a copper head snake
She was immediately seized with intense pain,
followed by tremendous swelling of the hand,
arm, and side We attempted to arrest the swell

burst unless they were removed We had tried
all the remedies for snake bite we knew of in vain,
when lady present suggested letters ALL
HEALING Liniment. AS last resort procured
two bottles of the Liniment, and having bathed
the hand, arm and side with it, and given some
internally, to my great relief and must say sur
prise, the pain, sickness and swelling began
rapidly to abate l should state that when we
commenced using the Liniment. the arm had be-
come purple Ny wife feels that under Pro

For the Spectator.
The Valley Rail Road.

The following facts and figures have been
collected from authentic sources with great care
and may be depended upon as correct:
The subscription asked from Augusta coun-
ty is $500, 00O for which the county is to issue
its bonds payable in twenty years. with an an
nual interest of $4,000, and for which the
county is to receive of the capital stock of the
road $500 900.
The Baltimore & Ohio Rail Road Company
have proposed to lease the Valley Rail Road
for twenty years, from the time it is completed
for per cent on the cost of building, thus
guaranteeing an income to the road equal to
the interest on the bonds.
The whole amount necessary to build the
Road will be completed by this subscription
and ensure the completion of the Road in two
years from the time the county givessth bonds
The present value of the stock of twelve
Rail Road Companies, as shown by sales il
Baltimore and New York during the present
month, of Roads having no greater advantages
than the Valley Rail Road. show an average
of l04s or AZ per cent premium. This brings
us to the following estimate:
The county bonds. $780, O
Interest for 20 years .......... 800, OO

STORM ON THURSDAY.-Our town was visited
by violent storm on last Thursday evening
about O. clock. The excessive heat of the day,
and the hurricane with which it closed, were
more appropriate to tropical climate than ours.
The wind was from the Northwest and blew down
number of fruit and other trees. The storm
reached the city of Fredericksburg about 7.15 of
the same day, and did considerable damage to
buildings and other property.
In the neighborhood of Moscow and Parnassus
food little inferior to the big food in June, WIS.,
tied the entire region from Parnassus to Bridge
water Messy Creek and its tributaries were
very high and Long Glade was higher than it
has been for years. Much hay and wheat was
washed away, together with considerable fenc-
ing. Prof Whites riding horse was killed by
lightning in his yard and quite close to his house.
Mr.. Swisher on the old Blair farm near Spring
Hill had two horses killed the same evening"
Mr.. John A. Herring, near Dayton, had rick
of wheat burned by lightning near about the
same time. Some of the hail stones in the vi
entity of Moscow were of remarkable size. The
corn near Parnassus was injured to some extent

HEAVY RAINs.-We learn from a correspon-
dent that the section of country between the
Rockbridge Baths and Collierstown suffered Sc
verely from the recent heavy rains. Fences
were washed away, large quantities of wheat and
hay were destroyed, and the roads were SO badly
washed as to make them almost impossible
Mr.. Henry Teaford, near Alone Mills, had a
large corn-crib and granary washed away con-
tanning wheat oats, corn, ten sacks of salt, grain
cradle, harness, &c. Mr.. Harrison's MILL and
Col. Browns wooden factory, situated on u little
stream known as Whistle creek, about miles
West of Lexington, were seriously damaged.

A Malicious Prosecution sui. Ended.
Damages Rendered for si25 90

The case Of Alt VS.. Richardt g.
Howard was decided on Wednesday
night about ten o'clock, the jury find
ing a verdict for the plaintiff against
the defendant Howard only for 125.
The history Of the case is somewhat
interesting aud complicated, and is
about as follows:
Some months since, Mr.. Richardt,
who is now the Councilman from the
Fourth Ward, sold Alt a horse, taking
a mortgage on the same. and a wagon
to secure payment for the horse.
Ii subsequently appeared that the
wagon belonged to Howard. although
Mr. Richardt understood Howard to
admit that Alt was the owner. In
violation of the provisions Of the
mortgage, the wagon aud horse were
taken from the stable where Mr..
Richardt sought to gain possession Of
them; Howard claimed the wagon as
his property, whereupon Mr.. Rich
ardt procured Alt to be indicted for
obtaining goods under false preten-
ses, the indictment being found part
ly on Howard's testimony. On the
trial Of the case, Alt was acquitted,
and sought to recover damages from
both Richardt and Howard for NAL
icious prosecution, with the above re
suit.
1t being pleaded that the indict-
ment was procured on the advice of a
competent attorney, one of the coun
sci for the plaintiff is reported to have
tried to inquire into the competency
of one of the counsel for the defense,
thus proposing the extraordinary
course of going back Of his admis-
sion TO the bar.

TRINITY SooIABLE.-Stebbins, true
to his promise, was present, and by a
piece of singular fortune, sat close to
the Balaam Club at supper. He says
the Club enjoyed themselves highly.
Among them were prominently visi'
BILE brevet ID. D., and another, who,
although not an orator, deals exten-
sively in flowers of rhetoric (O The
burden of their conversation was:
"Lovs notI love noti ye hapless sons OF
Hopes eayest wreaths are made of earth
Things that are made TO fade and fall
Erst they have bIossomed fora few short
hours"
And in less than an hour they
caused some Of the productions of
earthly -four to fade and fall away
amazingly.
The assembly was not great as to
numbers, but for sober, old folks
doings, it was one of the most youth
fully arranged on record.
The young ladies did not stay away
because it was gotten up by those Of
maturer years. Perkins McCarty
was there, aud, as usual, managed
to pick out the smallest lady in the
room to promenade with, making
himself appear like a note of inter
rOgation trying to whisper into the
ear Of a comma.
The weather being unfavorable,
there were but few noticeable toilets
out, and Sabrina not being present,
Eb. is unable to give the details
of even these. He says that they all
looked a great deal better after sup
per and during supper that they did
before. This, Of course, only goes to
show that Eds taste is not as good as
