A Pitiful Condition.

1t is sad thing to pass through life only half
alive. Yet there are thousands whose habitua1
condition is one of languor and debility. They
complain OF no specific disease; they suffer no
positive pain; but they have no relish for any
thing which affords mental or sensual pleasure.
In nine cases out of ten this state of lassitude
and torpor arises from morbid stomach. In
digestion destroys the energy of both mind
and body. When the waste of nature is not
supplied by due and regular assimilation of
the food every organ is starved, every function
interrupted.
Now, what does common sense suggest under
these circumstances of depression? The sys-
tenn needs rousing and strengthening; not
merely for an hour or two, to sink afterwards
into more pitiable condition than ever (as it
assuredly would do if an ordinary alcoholic
stimulant were resorted to- but radically and
permanently.
How is this desirable object to be accom-
plished? The answer to this question, found
ed OH the unvarying experience of quarter of
a century, is easily given. Infuse new vigor
into the digestive organs by course of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. Do not waste time by
administering temporary remedies, but wake
the system up by recuperating the fountain
head of physical strength and energy, the great
organ upon which all the other organs depend
for their nurture and support.
BY the time that dozen doses of the great
vegetable tonic and invigorant have been taken,
the feeble frame of tho dyspeptic will begin to
feel its benign influence. Appetite will be cre-
ated, and with appetite the capacity to digest
what it Graves. Persevere until the cure is
complete-until healthful blood, fit to be the
material of flesh and muscle, bono and nerve
and brain, flows through the channels of cir
culation, instead Of the watery pabulum with
which they have heretofore been imperfectly
nourished.

Anderson Calhoun Literary Society.

The anniversary celebration of the Anderson
Calhoun Literary Society took place in the
Court House on Tuesday evening last, in the
presence of many ladies and gentlemen, who
had assembled in honor of the occasion. The
Anderson Brass Band was in attendance, and
rendered delightful music at proper intervals
throughout the evening. The President of the
Society, Capt. S. NJ. Pegg, briefly announced
the object of the assemblage, and introduced
Rev. d. E. Frierson, who had been invited to
deliver lecture before the Society. In COM
plying with this request, Mr.. Frierson had Sc
lected "Books" as his theme. In terse, beau
tiful language, the utility of good books was
forcibly presented to the audience, and the
pernicious effects of an indulgence in trashy
reading were vividly portrayed. The utilita-
rian spirit of the age, as evidenced by the
teeming works in every department of science
and art, occupied large share of attention
from the lecturer, and higher standard of
attainment in knowledge was contrasted with
the merely utilitarian. In conclusion, Mr.
Frierson urged the young to diligently seek
for truth and light in the greatest book known
to man, and to draw their inspiration in life
from the Bible, that wonderful revelation of
Jehovah's will, thereby fitting themselves as
living stones for "that house not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens" The lecture
was chaste in language, vigorous in thought,
and fully sustained the reputation of Mr..
Frierson in learning and ability.
The anniversary Grafton was delivered by
Dfr. Edwards B. Murray, who was introduced
by the President and his subject announced
as "Human Progress" Tracing the career of
man from the primeval days until the present
time, and delineating the achievements and
progress of humanity at every step of the
worlds history, the subject was fruitful and
extensive, yet our young friend retained the
unhagging interest of his hearers until the
close. His Grafton was timely and appropri-
ate, evincing talent of high order, and justly
receiving the plaudits of those present.
This concluded the exercises, and the audi
ence was dismissed with renewed thanks for
their presence and attention.

Adjournment of Court.

The Circuit Court for Anderson County end
ed its sitting on Thursday afternoon, after four
days occupied in criminal business exclusively.
AS we went to press last week, the argument in
the trial of VIM. NJ. Davenport and Harvin
Vandiver, for the murder of John w. Meeks,
was progressing. On Wednesday afternoon,
Mai. John B. Moore and J. c. c. Featherston,
ESQ.,, of counsel for the prisoners, delivered
able and interesting speeches, as we are in
formed, and on Thursday morning Solicitor
VIM. Fl. Perry addressed the jury on behalf of
the State, arraying the testimony with much
ability and making strong argument for the
conviction of the prisoners on trial. He was
followed by Gen. Samuel MCGOWAN, who made
the closing speech, which was mastery de-
fence of the accused and occupied more than
two hours. Then followed the charge of his
Honor, which was clear, explicit statement
of the evidence, together with summary of
the law governing the case The jury then re-
tired, and after an absence of three hours, re-
turned into Court with verdict of guilty on
the second count of the Indictment" This
second count charged that another person COM
mitted the murder, and that Davenport and
vandiver were present aiding and abetting.-
Upon the verdict being announced, counsel for
the prisoners moved in arrest of judgment up
on various grounds, which motion, after being
fully and carefully considered by the Court,
was oyerruled. After the usual formalities,
Judge Orr proceeded to sentence the prisoners.
He reviewed the facts connected with the MUIR
der, showing the participation of both Vandi-
yer and Davenport as contained in the evidence,
concluding with an earnest appeal to the pris-
oners that they make preparation for an eternal
world, without placing reliance on the hope OF
new trial or executive clemency. The SEN
tence of the Court was that the prisoners be
hung on Friday, 18th day of January next
The delay in the execution of the sentence is
caused by an intimation that the case will be
carried to the Supreme Court, which meets in
November next, and the hearing of causes from
the Eighth Circuit does nc" take place until
the Sth of January, 1873.
The following additional sentences we're pro-
nounccd by the Court, in cases of minor i'm
portance, viz:
Tilman Young, colored, indicted for burgla-
ry, and who pleaded guilty of petit larceny
was sentenced to Imprisonment for six months
in the common Jail and to work upon the
streets of Anderson during that time.
VIM. Johnson, colored youth, convicted
of grand larceny, sentenced to the Penitentiary
at hard labor for nine months.
Samuel Johnson, colored, convicted of re-
ceiving stolen goods, sentenced to Jail for foul
months and to work upon the streets.
Julia Lee, colored, same offence, sentenced
to Jail for three months.

become impure: the appetite poor the skin
sallow the body cnfeebled: the system re-
laxed making it susceptible to attacks of Chills

be avoided by the use of few bottles OF Dr..

The SnakOsch COncerts-Anna Louis
Gary,

The StYakOsch COncerts-Anna Louise
Cary.
The first of the Strakosch concerts will
he given at Exposition Hall next Tuesday
evening. A Nashville exchange says Of one
Of the company:
In Miss Cary, the contralto of the Stra-
kosch concert company, we were not led to
expect marvels and wonders, and were
most agreeably surprised to find that she
met with favor in every way equal to that
shown to Mile. Patti. Her honors were
won by the unpretentiOus manner in which
she displayed wonderfully fine and we'll
cultivated contraltO voice.
Her manners are plain, and of the most
unassuming kind, no advantage being taken
of coquetry or small stage devices so com
mon among singers. The sentiment of the
piece being sung by Miss Cary is repro
duced in her face. If she smiles, it is not
an assumed one, which carries with it &
feeling of emptiness, but so natural and
earnest that the listening audience uncOn-
sciously smiles with her.
After the rendering of "Les Huguenots,"
and her appearance Tor the third time, and
while awaiting the prelude to Fishes in
the Sea-" the ridiculous and extrayagant
demands OF the audience seemed to present
itself to her in most ludicrous form, for
losing all control of her features, she fairly
bubbled over with laughter, which did not
allow her to become composed during the
entire piece.
