Peril and PrecautiOn.

This is season that tries the frame and the
stitution. If there is weak spot in either, the
chilling damps, the maarious fogs, the varieties of
temperature that mark the commencement of the
winter season are sure TO find it out. There are
few systems that have not weak spot somew here

do is to fortify it 10y of Hostetters stomach

SPEAKER BLAINE.

Somebody has taken the trouble to tele
graph to various newspapers the statement
that "Pennsylvania has lost confidence in
Speaker Blaine, because of his appointments
On the Committee of Ways and Means" We
do not know who it is that thus claims au-
thority to proclaim the opinion of the people
Oh pennsylvania upon this subject; but the
Ignorance and impudence displayed in the
statement warrant the assumption that no
such authority exists.
II is further stated that PENNSYLVANIA will.
in consequence of this act refuse to support
Mr.. Blaine for Vice President. This Is yerv
silly. Had Mr.. Blaine acted otherwise he
would have lost the respect and confidence
OF the whole country; honest men even in
Pennsyivania would not have respected him.
His fairness. his prompt obedience to the de-
clared will of the House, and the remarkable
correctness of hi, selections, will win fo,
him, in all parts Of the country, a support
fully compromising for what he may lose in
Pennsylvania. Ii he be nominated for Vic,
President, Pennsylvania Republicans will
have to vote for him Honesty and firmness

The strong points supporting the use of Eel
lows Compound of Hypophosphites are, that
while it takes immediate hold upon the sys-
tenn, in stimulating the Liver, regulating and
strengthening the muscles of the Heart
Stomach, Lungs, &C., it has no facilitating
effect under any circumstances and while
its continued use is marked by the general
toning OF the system, without producing con-
stipating effects, it may be stopped at any
time without the usual disagreeable effect fol-
lowing the discontinuance of some otherwise
valuable tonics. These characteristics are
particularly valuable to consumptives and
other debilitated invalids, and are peculiar to
this preparation. declS+&wlw

THE TAX ON RAILROAD DIVIDENDS.
WARRINGTON, d. c., July 9.-The
question having arisen last fall Wheth-
er a tax should be collected at the rate
of two-thirds Of one per cent on divi-
dends declared by railroads and other
corporations for the last five months
of 1870, Acting Commissioners Douglass
decided that under the law 1t should,
and an order was given to Assessors
accordingly. After General Pleasan-
ton succeeded to Office, he reserved
his decision, but the matter having
been brought to the attention of fSecre-
tary Boutwell,, he referred it to the
Attorney General, who set aside the
last decision and ordered the Commits
siouer to assess and collect the tax.
These instructions were Immediately
communicated to the local revenue
officers, but the numerous applications
and appeals recently made by railroad
companies and bankers, that the tax
be remitted or suspended on account
of the severity of enforcing its collec-
ton at this time, Commissioner Pleas
anton, in view OF Secretary BoutwelPs
instructions, does not think he ought
to allow any delay. 1t has been
ascertained, however, that exception
has been made to this ruling in the
case of the New York Central and
Hudson River railroad, an order
from the Secretary of the Treasury or
President having been filed in the
internal revenue Office suspending the
collection OF this tax against this rail-
road,

A WOuId-be CIeaHer-Out Cleaned Out
Death got Him not a Minute too Soon.

CHICAGO, July 10.-Wm. Blair, a
brakeman on the Chicago, Burlington
and Qaincy railroad, was shot snd
instantly killed at Leland, ILL.,, on
Saturday evening. On the 4th inst,
Blair was in Aurora. He got in q
fight and nearly killed a young man
by striking him on the head with g
stone. A short time since Blair sent
for his brother, Laban Blair, in Ohio,
to come on and help him clean out
his brother in-laW, named Shepherd.
They went to Shepherds house Satur-
day evening and commenced the
cleaning out process, when Shepherd
seized a musket and shot Blair
through the heart. Blair, after falling,
raised himself on his elbow, drew a
revolver and discharged four shots at
Shepherd, one Of which entered bis
leg. Blair then fell back and ex-
pired.
The Blairs are the worst young men
in this section Of country; they be-
loDged to q gang of horse thieves.
William stabbed man with a butch
er-knife in meat market at SamOn-
aux, three years ago, when only six
teen years old; he escaped the peni-
tentiary on account of his age. He
has since committed every crime in
the calendar. Laban, elder, has
served term In the penitentisry for
horse stealing. He was arrested for
stealing a watch in Aurora four years
ago, was committed to Jail, dug
through the wall and escaped. Three
months afterward he was arrested at
SamOnRuk, after an exchange of pis-
tOl shots. Laban again escaped JUS
tice by some technical informality in
the trial. He went back to Leland
the same night and broke open a
trunk belonging to a wedding party,
in the depot, and robbed it of one
hundred and fifty dollars worth of
clothing and wedding apparel. After
his brother was shot, de declared that
he would shoot Shepherd on sight.
Shepherd is 3 man of respectability.

A few miles from the city a tree blew
across a IGipsy wagon in camp,
instantly killing a woman. The
Third street Presbyterian church spire
was moved a foot out of line. The
spire of Mr.. Kempers Presbyterian
First Baptist, were somewhat dam
aged. The storm was severe in the
country, adjacent to Dayton, particu-
larly Randolph township, destroying
crops, fences, and in few instances
burning barns by lightning. At Xe-
mia, Ohio, the storm was severe,
playing havoc among trees, fences
and out houses.
CINCINNATI, July 10. = Reports
from Dayton show that the recent
storm was hardly less destructive in
the country than in the city,. 1t

off trees like pipe stems, doing i'm

HAVANA, July 9.-Advices from

give rumors Of the return of Baez to

The town of San Juan is entirely
destroyed. 1t is reported that the rev.

siasm. A telegraph cable has been
laid to Martinique.
The steamer Florida is still at st.
Thomas. A portion Of her crew has
gone to Halifax.
Advices from Laguaga to the 23d of
June represent the revolutiOnists in
large force, and had advanced and
captured Barcelona, CompanO, and
Cumaca. The government garrisOns
were small, but fighting was desperate.
Gazlau's feet was still cruising on the

snecisI Correspondents ofthe APPEAL.l
CovINGToN, TENN, July 10, 1871.
Our community was surprised to learn
that the AUdJGHche of Thursday stated
that our County Court had declined
TO levy a tax for the bonds of the Mis-.
sissippi River Railway Company.
This question was not before the
Court at all, and the Mississippi
River Railway Company was not
mentioned during the entire session,
We were equally as much surprised to
know that the subscription TO this
company was made 0y the Commits
siOners. As there never was such 8
body in Upton county, the informa.
ton is as correct in the one instance
as in the other, and is equally ineOr-
rect in both.
Our County Court is favorable to
the Mississippi River road, and will
do nothing TO injure its credit or i'm
pair its progress. The friends of the
road are daily increasing, both in this
place and in the county, and they are
greatly encouraged by the efforts now
being made TO secure the speedy COM
pletiOn of this most important enter
prise, and our town is only waiting to
see what Memphis will do before We
subscribe our quota (s25,OOO) of stock
in this company.
We are informed by the officers of
the company, that unless Memphis
subscribes 500, 900, there is no pros
pect OF getting the road, and we anx-
iOusIy await the action of your city.
We are in hopes of sending part Of
this present growing cotton crop TO
Memphis over the Mississippi River
rosd, as work will be actively re-
sumed and pressed forward as soon
as this subscription is raised. The
life of Covington depends on the sue
cess of this road, and under its bright
ening prospects there is already a
spirit OF Improvement developing
itself. Even our churches are being
repaired, and property is already ap-
preciating in value. We want TO read
the APPEAL at breakfast, and hope
ere long to hear the shrin whistle Of

the following particulars of a mur-

MurdOck had been agitated over
threats that had been sent her hus-
band, growing out OF county seat
question. A letter hal been sent to
Mr.. MurdOck, containing a picture of
a man with a rope around his neck.
The sight of the picture seemed to un-
settle her mind. She Immediately
secured a razor and hid it in her
trunk. Several days after she asked
her husband which of ;heir two child
ren he liked best. The one killed was
not the child he expressed his prefer
ence for. She cut the head of the
child nearly of and it died instantly
she then cut her own throat, but for
tunately she only severed the wind
pipe and did not cut the jUglar vein.
The wound was Immediately closed
and she is improving fast. From the
time of the reception of the picture,
she had watched every stranger that
came into town, fearing they had
come to hang her husband. On the
day of the tragedy she had seen Hon.
Sidney Clarke and two other gentle
men ride into town, and thought she
saw a rope in his wallet. She imme-
diately seized the child, ran behind
the house and cut its throat, as des-
cribed,
