PAIN kILLER---A CURE FOR DIPII-
THERIA.-All Interested, please read tho
following extract from letter from Mrs. Ellen
b. Mason, wife of Rev. Francis Mason,
Tounghoo. Birmah:
My son was taken violently sick
with diphtheria, cold chills, burning fever and
eore throat. counted one morning ten little
vesicles in his throat, very white, and his
tongue, towards the root, just like water
melon, full Of seeds; the remainder coated as
thick as knife.blade: So many children
have died around here, was afraid to call a
physician, and thought l would try your
Pain Killer for garglc, with small doses in
wardly. did 30, and found tho gargle inva-
riably cut of the vesicles, and he raised them
up, often covered with blood. He was taken
on Sunday; on Wednesday, his throat was
clear, and his tongue rapidly clearing off. l
also used it as liniment, with castor oil and
hartshorn, for his neck. 1t seemed to me
wonderful cure, and can but wish it could be
known to the many poor mothers in our land
VINO are losing 80 many children by this
have fcnnd your Pain killor one OF the
most valuable medicines ever used in
Birmnh. Once I was stung by very large
t, 61aok scorpion; the pain was inyd,esoriba-
never travel without it, again and again,
and in half an hour my foot was well.
DR.. Walton writes from Coschocton: "Your
ram Killer cures this new wdlsease-Diphthe,id
or Sore Throdt-that is so alarmingly preva-
lent here; and it has not been known to fail in
any instance when used in time. This fact you
should make known to the world" ut is used
in this disease as garglo and lotion, as well
as q tonic and stimulant.)
In Halifax, where this disase prevailed for
many months in its most malignant form, the
use Of PERRY DAVIS PAIN KILLER" was inva.
riably attended with the most favorable re-
suits, when it was used ere the disease az made
too much progress to preclude the use of 30
powerful stimuant. Jan Illinois

We all know that the pronliscuous vaccina-

most villainous diseases. Vaccination pus was
taken from the arms of many persons full of
scrofulous sores.
Then Of course the impurities of the scrofu-
lous patient were absorbed in the blood of men
otherwise without diseases, and both became
infected alike Men, women and children
throughout all the West are most wofully
diseased from this cause, and knew not, until

Deaths.

On the 14th instant, of congestion of the lungs,
in Jacksonville, Tazewell county, at the resi-
dence of his father, James G. Spots, STUART
ROBINSON SPOTS. in the 9th year of his age:
Died very suddenly, near Mint Spring, March
9Th, 1870, Miss MARTHA HYDEN. aged 81 years.
She was a consistent member of Bethel (Presby-
terian) church the greater portion of her life.
On the 10Th instant, at Elizabeth Furnace,
MARSHAL WARD departed this life in the 22nd
year of his age, and, we believe, in the well
grounded assurance Of everlasting life This
young man seemed to have been the subject of
privation and trouble from his early childhood
up to the close of his short pilgrimage here
When but boy he lost both his parents and,
after bearing for some years the hardships of
many orphans, he was finally adopted by an af-
fectionate and devoted aunt, in whose house he
died and for whose support and consolation in
the midst of her unparalleled troubles, it was his
only wish to live. Doubtless the many troubles
and sorrows found all along his pathway were
designed and proved to be the means of impress
ing upon his mind and heart the unsatisfying and
perishable nature of all earthly things and so of
leading him to prepare for the unending destiny
awaiting us all beyond this feeting state.
From the writer's intimate acquaintance with
him, together with his constant beading of the
scriptures, as we'll as his dying testimony con-
corning his future prospects, think his friends
and relatives may be sustained by the inspiring
hope of their departed kinsmans having ex-
changed the troubles and vicisstudes of earth
for the peace and the happiness of heaven. May
it be their determined purpose to he likewise pre-
pared through grace for the realities of eternity

For the present, says the Lynchburg Repub-
Ican, there are no national politics for US, and
it is better to think and act upon that assump
ton. Let US take our anomalous position, since
we must occupy it, and make the best of it; and
let us, like sensible men, employ ourselves IN
matters over which we have the control, and
'bide our time" for those which, in the natural
course of events, will inevitably fall to our lot
at future day. Conservatism" is now the
only true policy of the people ofany Southern
States. To stand firm in the gap between the
extremists on both sides; to restrain our own
passions, and counteract those of the rapid poll

Chesterfield County Court-Trial and Con-
viction Of Murderers

The County Court of Chesterfield met on
Monday, 18th inst. VIM. T. Martin, Esq, ac-
ting Presiding Justice, and Messrs. Murphy,
Hanson and Bartham, Associates. A good
deal of civil business was done, but the trial
which attracted most attention was that OF Lam
lei Walker, Sarah Scott, aud Betsy Yancey,
charged with the murder by poisoning OF Flem-
ing Scott It will be remembered that this
murder was perpetrated to get their victim out
of the way, so as to allow marriage between
Walker and Sarah Scott. The trial commenced
Monday and was concluded on Wednesday,
The jury after few moments absence returned
with yordict Of guilty of murder in the flrst
degree as to Walker and Scott, and not guilty
as to Betsy Yancey. Before sentence was pro-
nounced, Counsel for the defence moved for
new trial, which motion was overruled by the
Court, as was also motion to set aside the
verdict. Counsel then gave notice that they
wished to file bill Of exceptions, and time until
Saturday, the 10th inst. was given them in
which to prepare their papers
In the absence of Mr.. c. S. Bundy, the Com
monwealth was represented by Mr.. VIM. Am
bers. The Prisoners had no Counsel when
they came into Court, but at the solicitation OF
the Justices, Messrs Brooks and Turner of
Chesterfield, and Mr.. W. ". Cosby of the
city of Richmond, acted in their defence.
Speeches of great weight and force were de-
livered by Messrs. Ambers and Cosby.

Another straight Shoot.

A great deal has been said lately about a
straight-shoot from Clifton Forge in Allegheny
to Richmond. We publish on the first page
of this issue, copied from the Richmond Dis
patch, communication signed "Rockfsh
Gap which presents strong argument in IA
vor of a route from Clifton Forge to the Blue
Ridge Tunnel. By this route, the grades
would be more favorable, the distance of rail-
road to be built would be SHORTER, and the coun-
try lave1sed would furnish more transportation.
By this route, there would only be about IS
miles of railroad to be constructed exclusive
of the short track from Charlottesville to Rich
mond whereas by the Lynchburg route there
would be more than 100 miles to build.
''Rock6sh Gap" we are inclined to think,
has suggested the proper route

SDecJOI Notices.
The season and it's Dangers.


The human body is chiefly composed oftissues
and fbres as sensitive to every change in the
condition of the atmosphere as the most delicate
electrometer, or the quicksilver in barometer
tube.
The stomach, the skin, the nerves, the lungs,
and excretory organs are especially liable to be
affected by these variations and the best defence
against their disastrous tendency is to keep the
digestive machinery, which feeds and nourishes
the whole system, in good working order.
If the stomach is weak or disordered neither
the blood nor bile can be in healthy state. and
upon the ftness of these two Important fluids for
offices assigned to them by nature, and the reg
ularity of their flow, health in great measure
depends.
When the air is heavily laden with chilling
vapors as it often is at this season of the year. the
digestion should be an object of peculiar care
If it is weak and languid, the whole physical
structure will be enervated. If it is vigorous the
entire organization will be strong to resist the
untoward and depressing influence of damp
and vitiated atmosphere.
A pure and powerful tonic is therefore espe-
cially needed as safe guard against the diseases
most common in the spring. and Hostetter' S Stom-
ach Bitters being the most wholesome and potent
of the class at present known, course of it is
particularly advisable at this period of the year.
The stomach will thereby be toned and strength
ened the liver and bowels regulated, the ner-
vous system braced up and nature put in a state
of active defence against the miasma which SUI
perinduces intermittent and remittent fevers,
rheumatisms, nervous debility, headache, hypo-
condria and other complaints which are apt to
assal the untoned and unfortifed organizations.
The body is strengthened without exciting the
brain, and consequently no unpleasant reaction
follows its reyiving and renovating operations.
