HONESTY"

CON. LEWIS is receiving letters from all
parts of this and other states, so fast and SO
many Of them, that he has decided to save
time and postage stamps in giving public mo-
tice through our columns, that his celebrated
horse Honesty" who has proven himself to
be the best horse in three states, by carrying
Off the first premium at the last State Fair at
Keokuk, over twenty-eight stations, will be
at the service of all who may desire thorough
bred stock, at Mr.. Lewis livery, ON Green

He took the first premium at the Burlington
Fair, and all the County Fairs as the fastest
trotting stallion. He has been exhibited on
all the principal Fair grounds in the State
since he was four years old, and never failed to
take the first premium as roadster stallion.
This is positively the last season the horse
will be kept in this place. Come and see him
If you desire to improve your stock. Terms

An old Fallacy Exploded

Thirty OF forty years ago, 1t was the
fashion TO administer powerful purgatives
rs "spring medicine" Terrific doses of
salts and selma, calomel ana jalap, or
glauber salts were given to all the mem
bers Of family, whether sick or well,
by way of preparing them for the warm
weather in prospect. This pernicious
some old Bourbons ofprivate life incapa-
BILE alike OF forgetting anything or learn
ing anything, who obstiD ately cling to il
still. Nothing could b. more pernicious,
more utterly uuphilosophical, than such
an onslaught on the vigor and elasticity of
the system. In order to enable the phys
ical structures to resist the eaervatinG
effects Of spring dumps and summer heats
it should be toned and reinforced, not re-
Taxed and weakened. The best medicine
agent for this purpose is 1lcstetter's
stomach and liver, gently relieve the bow
els front distractions, brace the nerves,
improve the quality ofthe blood, stimulate
the appetite and cheer the spirits. In
this improved condition the organization
is capable of resisting unhealthy intiuen
ces, which would PROSTATE an enfeebled
system. A vigorous digestion is absolute
ly essential to health, and there is no dan,
ger of the stomach faltering or failing in
its important office. ifthis genial vegetable
elixir is taken regularly as a stomachic.
None of the tonic Iinctures or extracts will
supply the place of the bitters, for the
| simple reason that they operate as astrin-
gents only. In fact, in ordinary practice,
five or six prescriptions would be requir>
ed to produce separately, the beneficial
| results, which are effected simultaneous
lv, and tremendously by this single
specific.

Murderous Assault.

We hear all sorts of rumors of an
assault, and can scarcely bring our
pen to write anything concerning it,
were it not that the people are so
clamorous to see something of it in
print. 1t secms that young man
named Tobcrry, struck an older man
named John Gibbs, on tho head with
Il club, fracturing his skull. Ono
story runs thus: Gibbs owes Toberry,
and had made some remarks deroga-
tory Of his character. The latter
went to CTS house, and demanded
roparation, when G. struck him in
the face, with a fire-shovel, where
upon I. drew q concealed club from
under his coat and struck the other a
murderous blow on the head. 1t is
reported this afternoon, that Gibbs
has died from the effects of the wound
received.
The parties live close neighbors,
about milo and half up the river,
west of town, near Fords ferry,
Toberry is now in Jail.
These are given as reports, and
not as facts, to- we can learn nothing
definite concerning the affair, which
happened last Friday evening.
