niseased Meat

Rumor has it that some of our butch
ers have been selling damaged beef. The
story goes that man living near the
lforks Of the Sleepy Hollow and Dyers-
burg road had cow-whether from be.
ing SO poor that she could netsstaDd up
oraeeidentally tnmbled into ditch and
damaged herself so as to be of no future
use to her owner,-and sold her to one
of the city butchers and the meat dis
posed of to our citizens. It is said that
the COW lay in the ditch two days, and
consequently the meat was not fitting for
use. We cannot vouch for the truth OF
the above further than we saw on Sun
day morning last, some men trying to
geta COW out Of ditch at the place
named. With one or may be two excep-
tions, we do not believe the taste of our
citizens has become SO deprayed as to
require the purifying process to make
their beef palatable. We understand
that hash IS just now an unpopular dish
at our boarding establishments also
that ipecaeuanha has materially declined
in price.

Poisonoms NredIcines.

The theory that the virus of disease eau
be safely counteractcd by dcses of poison,
is false and dangerous. Within the last
twenty-five years, not less than score of
virulent poisons have been added TO the
repository of the medical profession. They
are given in small doses, otherwise they
would destroy life Immediately; but even
in minute quantities. they produce, nlti-
mately, very disastrous effects. Ii is unwise
and unphilosophical to employ as remedies
powerful and insidions drugs, which, in
subjugating one disease, sow the seeds of
another still more unmanageable. None of
these terrible medicsments operates with as
much directness and certainty upon the
causes of disease as Hostetters Stomach
Bitters, a tonic and corrective, without a
single deleterious ingredient in its compo-
sition. Arsenic and quinia are given for
intermittents; bromide of potassium for
nervous disorders; strychnine and prussic
acid for general debility; mercury, in
various forms, for liver complaints prePa,
! tions of chloroforIn and opium for sleepless.
ness; and yet these deadly drugs do not
compare as specifics for the diseases above
enumerated, with that wholesome vegetable
inyigorant and Alternative, while they are al
so pernicious that il is astonishing any ply
sician should take the responsibility of pre-
scribng them. Let invalids, for their own
sakes, try the Bitters before they resort TO
the poisons The relief they will experience
from a course of the harmless specific. will
render recourse to the unsafe preparations
referred TO, quite unnecessary.
The Hickman courier., 1871-05-06

RAILROAD AccIDENT-On the NOR
ming of the I'd inst, as the passenger
train of the Nashville and Northwestern
Railroad, on its way from Mckenzie to
Nashville while turning a curve about
four miles west of Huntingdon, ran into
a live sweet gum tree that had fallen du
ring the night across a small trestle.
The body of the tree was some ninety
feet in length and was about one foot in
thickness, where it lay across the track.
The engineer, owing to the shortness of
the carve, did not see it in time to stop
the train, and although he whistled
breaks down and reversed the engine. he
only succeeded in checking the velocity
of the train so as to save harmless two
passenger and one sleeping coach. The
engine and tender leaped the obstruc-
ton, but the baggage car caught in the
tree, twisted it around some twenty FIVE
feet and by its reactionary force threw
the engine and tender down an embank
ment some six feet high. The wreck Of
the tender was complete. The engine
was greatly injured, the steam chests
being torn to pieces. the stack broken
off; the shielding of the boiler ripped of
in some places, and the cap utterly torn
to pieces. The baggage ear did not suffer
SO much, merely careening on its side
with the platform aud wheels torn off,
The track was torn up some forty feet,
cross-ties and rails being jumbled togeth
er IN an almost inextricable confusion.
No lives were lost. The escape of the
engineer Ed. McGraw and of the fireman
was truly providential. The engine
turned three fourths over; breaking the
cap into a thousand pieces, but they
escaped unhurt, crawling out from the
debris, covered with ashes, and fire and
mud and water.
The baggage master, though consider
ably bruised by the upturning of trunks

The following bit of good advice is
from the Working Man, and is worthy the
attention of all readers:
Lay it down as foundation rule, that
you will be faithful in that which is
least" Pick up the loose nails, bits Of
twine, clean wrapping paper, and put
them in their places Be ready to throw
in an odd balf hour or hours time, when
it will be an accommodation, and don t
seem to make merit it. DO it heartily
Though not word be said, be sure your
employer will make a note of it. Make
yourself Indispensable to him, and he
will lose many of the opposite kind be-
fore he will part with you.
Those young men who watch the time
to see the very second their working hour
is up-who leave, no matter what state
the work may be IN, at precisely the in
stant-who calculate the extra amount
they can slight their work, and yet not
get reproved- who are lavish of their
employers goods, will always be the first
to receive notice that times are dull, aud
their services are no longer required.
