The Tenaei,y Of Truth,

When nation as clear-headed as the Ameri-
cans once become convinced, from long expe-
rience and observation, that an article possesses
superior excellence rs medicine, not all the
prcposterous clamor of all the worthless nostrum
vendors in the universe can shake their belief
in its efficiency. Truth is very tenacious
thing as these worthless are beginning to dis
cover. Plantation Bitters has too firm hold
upon the popular esteem to be in the slightest
degree effected by the cold water diatribes
which the advertisers of fermented slops,
without particle of alcohol are SO
fond of launching against alcoholic prepare
tons. The public knows very well that
this peerless renovant and tonic does contain
spirits but it also knows that they are of the
purest and most welcome description, viz fine

fuser of its remedial and invigorating proper

The Eieutts AT Work.

Last Thursday night an iron bar about ten
feet long was placed on the railroad track about
half q mile below town. How the 1890 T. NJ.
train escaped a most dreadful catastrophe sur
passes human theory and comprehension. The
bar was found next morning near the track
by the section hands. There are two indcnta-
tions corresponding to the shape of the fang
es and the distance between them correspond
ing exactly to the width between the wnces.
The bar was placed on a down grade, and Mt
a point where the train runs ut its highest
speed The destruction of life must necessa-
rily have been fearful, had the engine been
thrown from the track We are satisfied that
some fend or iends placed this obstruction on
the road to crafty diabolical spite against
some train employee or more probably the Rail
road Company. The perpetrator has proclaim
