Cheering Facts for the Bilious.

Every day demonstrates more clearly that liv-
er complaint, in all its distressing forms, can be
controlled and cured without difficulty or incon-
venence. 1t is an obstinate disease, but its OBJ
stinacy is not proof against the pertinacious, re-
medal and restorative operation of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. That genial corrective conapels
the organ to do its duty. It mast secrete regu-
larly and BEAUTIFULLY under the influence of the
Bitters. Their action brings it back from state
OF rebellion into perfect harmony with the laws
of health. If there is costiveness, it disappears
if there is side-ache or back-ache, it ceases; if
the skin and the whites Of the eyes are tinged
with superfous bile they recover their natural
hue; if the appetite iss gone, it returns; if the
digestion is impaired. it is restored in brief,
whatever the symptoms of the complaint may
be, and whatever the phase it has assumed,
cure IS certain Such are the uniform effects of
this preparation where bilious disease has been
already developed; but in cases where there is
merely constitutional tendency to liver COM
plant, it may be prevented throughout life by
the regular use, in small quantities, of this pal
atable antidote. These are proven facts, and
should be seriously pondered-or rather, they
should be promptly acted upon-by all persons
of bilious habit. ma7-1m

"M urder will Out"

Under this caption, the Monroe Register
gives the following account of the confession
of the negro arrested under suspicion of being
the murderer of Geo. W. Hunter, last Fall,
and sent from here to Monroe county jail to
await his trial:
''On Wednesday morning, 9Th inst, the ne
gro murderer VIM. johnson, confined in the
Monroe county Jail at this place, for the muir
der, last FALL of Mr.. Hunter, of Stauntou,
Va, on the Chesa & 0. Railroad, near the
Big Bend Tunnel, made full confession of
his guilt to the jailor. Under the spur of a
guilty conscience he declared that spirit had
warned him on the previous night to reveal his
guilt, under pain of perpetual unrest. In
presence of the jailor and coIored visitor who
occasionally exhorts him, he confessed that he
killed young Hunter by striking him on the
head with billet of wood, and that he then
robbed his victim of $50. johnson also con-
fessed to the murder in like manner of another
man unknown to him, about a year ago, In
Stanton, Va. He also robbed the latter vic
tim of his money, some $60'
We suppose this unknown person was Geo.
White who was pushed off the bridge and
killed. An innocent Irishman was arrested
and tried for this offence, but was acquitted.
