peared decidedly hopeful during the
early hours. Rev. Mr.. Haight call
to see him and Nallandighan taking

! that he had too much faith in.Calvinic
| doctrine TO believe he would not get
safely through his misfortune. He
told one of the surgeons to take care
of the pain and he would manage the
rest. When impressed with the APP

/ BRAY ely. After Dr. Reeves arrived
/ from Dayton, he soon had the room

! very serious nature. of his wOu1Id.-
The patient, seeking for something on
| which to build hope, reminded the
doctor of two cases of injuries not ia
tai. He had known both, and asked
ii his was worse than they? To which
The reluctant reply was:
Possibly not.
The doctor then told Mr.. Vallandig-
ham, who was suffering pain, they
would have to administer medicine OF
a sedative nature, and suggested if he
had anything TO say, he had better
communicate it to them. Mr.. Vallan-
digham then cOnversed with the doc
tor concerning private matters, giving
directions i'll regard TO his affairs, at
ter which the medicine to relieve the
pain was injected 10y the hypodermic
process. After this there was no time
when he was not under the influence
of Opiates that affected somewhat his
sensIbility. Nevertheless he appeared
to keep possession of his faculties.
At half past 3 O'Clock his friends
were called To his bedside. From that
time he rapidly sank. The pulsation
at the wrist appeared to have ceased,
though he was remarkably calm, so
that DR.. Drake said he was the coolest
man, under the circumstances, he had
ever seen. He still showed an occa-
sional signal about the face, of agony.
As death M preached, his face wore an
ashy palemess. HIS last words were IA
request for ice and medicine to allay
his pain. In his last moments there
were signs about the face that indica-
ted great physical suffering. At eigh-

There were present in his room
when he died his son Charles, II years
old, his only living child, with which
he had touching interview on his
arrival.
Placing his hands on his head, he
said with deep emotion, in low, hus-
ky voice, My SONNY son-be a.
true man" He made an effort to say
more, but amid intense suffering his
voice failed him. The scene was deep

last and at once left for the field of
operations for the Cumberland Gap
survey. On Sunday we observed
Messrs. Lucien johnson and j. C.

town on n few hours visit to their
friends. Our general information as
to the progress of the survey is as
follows: The operations thus far
have been confined to that portion o.
the line between Bristol and Estill-
vile. The main line survey between
these points was made via Waldron' S
Gap and mouth of MocCasin through
Moccasin Gap. 4 short line has
been surveyed from Mr.. Sam Snaps

of Col. Dunn's field to Morrell's mill

being run, aud when they shall have
been completed the Blountville line
will be run. The officers know how
to keep their own secrets, especially
until their decision shall have been
made, and we have 10 idea where the
final location will be. Tie object is
to make the best location possible for
the great line, and we do not doubt
that it will be done. The whole sea-

almost ineXhaustible spring at the foot

A Gbanter Of Facts.

Space is valuable in newspaper, and il is
therefore proposed in this advertisement to
condeRse variety OF facts, important TO the
public, into snail compass. Those facts
refer TO Hoste;ter's Stomach Bitters-what
that celebrated medicine is, and what it viii
do. In the first place, then, the article Is
stimul.;nt, tonic and Alternative, consisting of
a combination of an absolutely pure spiritu-
Gus agent with the most valuable medicinal
vegetable substances that Botanic research
has placed at the disposal Of the chemist
and the physician. These ingredients are
compounded with great care, and in such
proportions as TO produce preparation
which inyigorates without exciting the gene
raj system, and tones, regulates and contr.ls
the stomach, the bowels, tie liver, and the
minor secretive organs.
What this great restorative viii 10 must
be gathered from what it has done. The case
of dysp psia, or any other form Of indiges-
ton, in which it has been persistently adj
ministered without eaecting radical cure,
is yet to be heard from, and the same may
be said Of bilious disorders, intermittent fe-
yer, nervous affections, general debility,
constipation, sick headache, mental disahili-
ties to which the feeble are so subject, 1t
purifes all the fluids Of ihe body, iacldfing
the blood, and the gentle stimulus which il
imparts TO the nervous system Is not succeed
ed hy the slightest reaction. This is chap
ter Of facts which readers, for their own
sakes, should mark and remember.
