SPECIAL NOTICES.
~ III T. "P AIN KILL Err.

The PAIN KILLER" may justly be styled
the great medicine of the world; for there is no
region of the globe into which it has not found
its way, and been largely used and highly priced
Moreover, there is no cline to which II has not
proved to be well adapted for the cure of a con
siderable variety of diseases. IL is speedy and
safe remedy for burns, scalds, cuts, bruises,
wounds and various other injuries as well as for
dysentery, diarTh9a and bowel complaints gene
rally. 1t is admirably suited for every race of
men on the face of the globe.
tits avery significant fact, that notwithstand-
ing the long period of years that the pain
KILLER has been before the world. il has
never lost one whit of its popularity, but on the
contrary, the call for it has steadily increased
from its first discovery, and at no previous time
has the demand for it been so great, or the guam
tity made been so large, as it is to-day.
Another significant fact is, that nowhere has
the PAIN KILLER" ever been in higher re-
pute, or been more generally used by families
and individuals, than it has been here at home
where it was first discovered and introduced
That the I" PAIN KILLER will continue 10
be, whatwe have styled it, THE GREAT MEDICINE
OF THE WORLD, there cannot be the shadow of a
doubt.-Prouidence 4dUertiser. iyl6--lmdSw

A knund Platform

The Democracy of Maine, in their Con-
vention, which adjourned few days since,
presented the following platform of prin-
ciples to the people of that State:
Resolutions were adopted to bury out OF
sig hit all dead issues that the Democracy address
itself to the vital issues and questions CT the
b our; they recogn Ze as binding the Obiiga n
to the Constitution as it now is, but denounce
the means by which the same became the -u-
preme law; they demand q strict construction to
protect equally the rights OF States as well as
Individuals, and will fore ser defend the same
ag ~lnst concentr alton High protective tariff Is
also opposed"
These resolutions virtually carry out the
ides developed by the late latnented Val
'andighsm. To our view, they present q
platform upon which all patriotic citi-
zens North and South, can safely and
consistently stand, and one upon which
the NanonaI Democracy can go into the
next Presidential campaign with every
prospect of success.
While we surrender no principle. alb
stractly, for which We have contended in
the Fast, and relipquish no conviction
which we have entertained as to the true
theory of government, we are not of that
Bourbon class who leave nothing and for
get nothing in connection with tho prdai-
cal teachings of the times. We cannot ap-
plaud the sagacity or the philosophy
which pauses, on the rapidly revolving
wheel of events, to think rather of the
ground that has been traversed than of
that which stretches beyond. We do not
admire the wisdom which grasps after un-
attainable things, rather than make the
most of what we have and of present
emergencies.
No man surpasses Us in dstestation of
the manner in which the usurpations of
the past five years have been accomplish
ed. of the agencies through whose instru-
mentality those evils have been consum-
mated, or of the character of the innOVa-
tions themselves. But while We cannot
check or prevent, We need not butt our
heads against. There was pluck, per
haps, bat no discretion, in the ball that
opposed his horns against the terrific pro-
gress of the locomotive, and it is not re-
corded that his pluck either stopped the
engine or helped him.
4ne Democracy OF Maine, therefore, IN
our estimation, have set o wise example in
seeking to "bury out OF sight all dead is
sues and address itself 10 the riLaI ques-
tions and issues of the hour" There are
enough of those latter upon which to II
raign Radicalism before an indignant ma
ton and to commend the party of Re-
forns,-the Democratic Conservative party

Board Of Trustees of this ColIrRe. Our
Hardacrabble horse took US over the road

by the very prompt and efficient Secretary
A great deal of business was before the

losses by the war, the College has still over

ing claims of $50 900 more, the last, how
ever, generally of doubtful character -
The new College building cost over 800 600,

property there, cannot be worth less than
$3.50, 600. Davidson is therefore in better
co"diii"n, financially, than is any South

Fight WIth Indians in Texas

On last Monday morning, between one
and two o'clock, the Indians, seven or
eight in number, came in at Huebuer's
ranch, went through his pasture, abOnt
eight miles from here, and finding no
stock frank Huebner had driven them
in the corral near the house) they e.sayed
o steal some horses belonging to party
who had camped near the house and had
a dozen fine horses. They succeeded in
mt, lug several and getting them of,
though as the last two were being united
one of the men awOke, and com pr ehend-
ing the situation at a glance, fired four
shots at Mr.. Indian. The reds of course
Immediately vamosed, while the neigbbor-
hood was speedily alarmed and a party
made up to follow the trail of the Los.
The party consisted of Frank Huebner,
Jake Hoffman, John Hoffman. Carlstian
Evers, John Green. Ed. Gallagher. Chris
tian Schuchardt and Dar and Odom Al!
day they kept to the trail, through brush
and hollow, over hills and rocks, and trav-
eled forty miles up to three O'Clock In the
evening. At this time one of the mems
horAes gave out and he was left behind,
aud the other seven spurred on afresh: In
about an hour the boys suddenly rode in
upon the Indians, about nine in number
and fight commenced. The Indians de
lIvered one volley and then commenced
too much to be caught in that trap. and,
leaping off their horses, they charged the
red devils with such effect as to send them
scattering to the right and left. A. tho
boys charged up the hill upoL them, John
Green received a shot which disabled him
from further service. CHANGING to tho
right the boys discovered a chief under
ledge of rocks who had done the shooting
They made it so hot for him that be threw
away everything except his arms and
plunged off into the brush and hills. The
rest of the devils ran off, two of them On
horses, the balance on foot.
The boys then gathered up the spois Of
victory. Sixty three head of st, ok they
found tethered together among them sig
teen fine saddle horses and five work
mules. All the Indian brides, saddles,
blankets, ropes aid other plunder fell in
to their hands. The horses of the gallant
boys were so broken down that their
march back was painfully slow, especially
as they had wounded comrade with them.
They succeeded, however, in getting back
safe with all their spoils and literally
crowned with glories. The fight occurred
sixty-ive miles west of San Antonio and
twelve miles southwest of Bandera. The
Iudians were reserve Indians, and the boys
are sure that three OF them will carry back
scars tnat vii! lot soon let them forget
what they met vi b at the bands Of his
gallant ba, d. The Indians were armed
with Spencer carbines aud bows and ar
rows. The chief who shot Green was
ar med with q Winchester. AS his efforts
at getting away were clumsy and seeming
ly painful, it is supposed he went off an
ounce or two heavier with lead from the
lifes of the Texas boys.
