An Original Novelette,.

Written by Mrs. LLOYD WEST HEREFORD OF
Prince Georges county, will be commenced in
the Marlborough Gazette in few weeks-about
first of July. A large number of extra copies
of the paper will be printed, and it will be fur
nished THREE MONTHS FOR IS CENTS. The story
will occupy its pages about that length of time.
1t is beautifully written, and its characters
charmingly delineated. AS the largest portion
of the profits from the sales of extra papers will
inure to the benefit of the authoress, we hope
large number will be disposed Of We are
sure the reading public will be pleased with
this original production of its talented cores
pondent, The Novelette, is entitled "WHY Nor:
4 Tale of Southern Life During the War;"
1t commences at the beginning Of the strug-
gle and ends after the surrender. The scenes
and characters are true to life. The hero and
heroine are Colonel EMORY, q Federal cavalry
officer, and ESTER, the daughter ofJudge PLow-
DEN, Southern Rights man, whose beautiful
dwelling, Acton Manor, was burned by the sol
diers while he was lying dangerously ill, and
whose death ensued in consequence. Among
the minor personages of the story Judge PLow-
DENIS body servant HARRISON, and JUNE BUG
JOE, little dwarfsh negro boy, are conspicu-

A Chapter Of Facts.

Space is valuable in newspaper, and it is
therefore proposed in this advertisement to con-
dense variety of facts, important to the pub
lie, into a small compass. Those facts refer to
Hostetters Stomach Bitters-what that cele-
brated medicine is, and what it will do. In
the first place, then, the article is stimulaht,
tonic and Alternative, consisting of combina-
ton of an absolutely pure spirituous agent with
the most valuable medicinal vegetable sub
stances 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 a
preparation which invlgorates without exciting
the general SYSTEM and tones, regulates and
controls the stomach, the bowels, the liver and
the minor seeretive organs.
What this great restorative will do must be
gathered from what it has done. The case Of
dyspepsia, OF any other form of indigestion, in
which it has been persistently administered
without efeeting radical cure, is yet to be
heard from, and the same may be said of bill
Gus disorders, intermittent fever, nervous affec-
tons, general debility, constipation, sick head
ache, mental disabilities to which the feeble are
so subject. 1t purifes all the fluids of the
body, including the blood, and the gentle slim
illus which it imparts to the nervous system is
not succeeded by the slightest reaction. This
is chapter of facts which readers, for their
own sakes, should mark and remember.

THE object Of this bill is to procure decree
i for the sale of the real estate of Joseph
Parker, late of Charles County, deceased. The
bill alleges that the said deceased died about
eighteen hundred and fifty, intestate, leaving
a widow since deceased, and James A. Parker
of Prince Georges County, John F. Parker of
Charles County, Geo. 7. Parker ofSaint Mary's
County, Peter Henry Parker of the State Of
Virginia when last heard of, all of whom are
above the age of twenty-one years; and also
one Thadeus Parker. who died about eighteen
hundred and sixty-fve, intestate and without
ever having been married. The compliments
then show that they are the legal owners of
whatever interest the said James A. Parker, it
being child's part, may have in said real es-
tate, as also that of his wife, certain Emma
R. Parker. The bill then charges that the said
real estate is not susceptible of division among
them entitled, without loss and injury; and
prays that the same may be sold by decree of
this Court. 1t finally asks for process against
the said John F. and Geo. T. Parker, and an
order of publication against the said Peter
Henry Parker. 1t is therefore ordered, by
George A. Hunt, Clerk of the Circuit Court
for Charles County, sitting as Court of Equi-
ty, this fifth day Of May, eighteen hundred and
seventy-one, that the compliments cause a
copy Of this order, together with the object
and substance of the bill, to be inserted in some
newspaper published in Charles County, once
week for four successive weeks before the ff-
teenth day of July next; giving notice to the
said Peter Henry Parker, one of the defendants
in said bill, and warning him to appear in this
Court, in person or by solicitor, on or before
the eighteenth day of October next to show
cause, if any he has, why decree shall not
pass as prayed.

OBITUARY.

Died, at his residence, in Gainesville, Prince
Georges county, on Monday, the 18th Of May,
in the 3lst year of his age, GEO. D. GRIMES.
The deceased had been a great sufferer for
several years, being severely afflicted when
just turning into manhood, though he and his
friends hoped that his youth would plead an
apology, and that he would recover, but as
time wore on he grew worse, and finally yield
ed up his spirit to his Maker, trusting to ind
in that peaceful abode rest for his weary soul.
His fond and affectionate wife has the sympa-
thy Of large community of friends to share
with her and her three children the severe loss
of one so dear to her and them. Generations
come and go, and but few lay it to heart-blest
with present health. All those who have shak-
en- his friendly hand will soon be gone. May
all meet again. r.

The Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine.
In another column will be found the adver-
tisement of Messrs. Peterson & Carpenter, the
enterprising and energetic agents for the cele-
brated Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machines.
The Wheeler & Wilson is the leading stadard
family sewing machine. 1t is the only one
making the lock stitch without recourse to the
old wearing principle Of the shuttle, which
requires so much more power to drive it, and
the stop and start motion of which is so much
harder on the wearing and lasting qualities of
the machine than the simple rotating hook Of
the Wheeler q Wilson. This simple device
produces a continuous forward or circular
movement and consequently the machine es-
capes that incessant vibrating motion which
makes the shuttle machines a nuisance in a
quiet-loving family, and causes them to wear
out in oue-third the time the Wheeler & Will
son will, besides the extra exertion required
to run it and the additional cost for constant
repairs. We would advise all who wish to
purchase machine to examine these before
making a selection Mr.. John H. Stone, of
this county, is the agent for Messrs. Peterson
& Carpenter, and will be pleased to show the
machine to all desiring to see it In operation.

The Pope's Twenty-Fifth Year in the
Chair 81 st. Peter.
The 18th Of June will be the twenty fth
anniversary Of the elevation Of Plus TX. to
the Papal chair. It seems that no Pope has
ever occupied the ponti6cial chair as many
years as St. Peter, which is alleged to have
been twenty-five. As. the 17th Of the present
month will complete the twenty Fifth yeaf q
the reign Of Pope Plus TX, great anxiety pre-
vails at the near approach Of the date. 1t is
proposed to celebrate the event with great
pomp in Rome, by the Roman municipality
and the Italian government, though the Papal
newspapers discountenance the proceeding
under the present circumstances.

A New Mode OF Measuring Life.

An ingenious author asserts that the length
of mans life may be estimated by the num-
Der of pulsations he has the strength to per-
form. Thus, allowing seventy for the COM
mon age of man, and sixty pulses in minute
for the common measure of pulses in tenn
perate person, the number of pulsatons in
his whole life would amount to IL ,207 $780,
900; but if, by intemperance, he forces his
blood into more rapid motion, so as to give
seventy-6ve pulses in minute, the same
number of pulses would be completed in ff-
ty-sx years; consequently his life would be
reduced fourteen years.
