ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
After crossing West street, the young LADY.

After "A few moments she walked GOWN West
street until she came to the entrance of one of
the piers adjoining the Jersey City ferry She
went ont on the pier, and the officer, attracted
by her suspicious movements, followed her As
soon a. che noticed that he was following her
she qulckene Ner pace until che reached the
enc OF the PIE when she deliberately jumped
into the river. The Off Ger rushed along the pier
aud, without waiting to divest himself of any of
his Clothes, boldly plunged in after her. He

Throw I'm Reinforcements

The Citadel of Life is in a state Of siege all
through the year, but is never more closely
invested than In midwinter. The liver Is
usually somewhat torpid, and the bowels
more or less constipated at this season, and
dyspepsia often assumes its most aggraVa-
ted form in cold and wet weather. In short,
the sluggish system seems inclined to in
termit or shirk some Of its most important
duties under the influence Of low temper
allure, and requires wholesome stimulation
The spur required Is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, the only medicine which quckens
the action of the secretive organs, and
brings out the latent vitality Of the system
without creating any febrile symptoms, OF
the slightest nervous excitement.
The great Vegetable Tonic is not recon-.
mended as a specific for Coughs, Colds and
Consumption-that field being left open to
the concoctors of preparations which can
not by any possibility reach the lungs! but
as a specific fer the constitution and physi'
cal weakness which invite pulmonary dis.
ease, 1t is literally infallible. The most In
siduous and terrible enemy Of human life
Is not disease itself, but the weakness which
affords 1t an opportunity to gain firm hold
OF the vital system. Remember that Siam
ina, Vital Energy-the life-principle, Oh
whatever you may choose to call the resis'
tant power which battles against the cause
of disease and death, is the grand safeguard
of health. 1t is the garrison Of the human
fortress, and when 1t wakes weak, the true
nolicy Is to throw In reinforcements. In
pther words, when such an emergency GO
ours, commence q course OF Hostetters

The enterprise Of the REGISTER in
furnishing its readers with information
concerning State affairs, and in keeping
them properly informed in relation to
the progress of events at the Capital,
seems to be well appreciated by the
public. Large extra editions of the
paper containing condensed reports OF
the several State institutions have been
sold, and the publication of the Gov
ernor's message yesterday morning
seems to have completely distanced our
Quincy street rival, leaving him far in
the lurch as usual. AS our readers
will bear witness we have not here
tofore made much boast of the
superior enterprise of the REGISTER,
notwithstanding almos. daily opportu-
nifty for such self congratulation has
been affCrded) yet our recent trlumphs
in the way of State news will certainly
Justify our calling public attention to
,he matter in this way.
We have made such arrangements as
will enable us to keep ahead of all COM
petition in the matter OF news from
Charleston, and accordingly invite all
who desire to be fully informed concern
ing State affairs and the progress Of
events at the Capital to subscribe at
once for the REGISTER.

The Condemnation Jury.

From the Cun1DefIauu NEWS, mohu@sJ
The Condemnation Jury.
According to the previous arrange
ment the jury Of condemnation in Che
mater of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company and Mr.. j. A,
Burris and j. Frank Seiss, ESQ, met on
Saturday last upon tbe premises for the
condemnation of which they had been
summooed. After viewing The property
of Mr.. Burris, on Bedford street,
further proceedings on said property
were postponed until to-day.
The jury next visited The lot OF Mr.
Seiss, living on the east side OF the rail-
road, and fronting 60 feet on Union
street, and extending back to the alley
in rear OF Orick's warehouse. This
property the railroad company desire
70 possess, that they may be enabled to
extend several tracks through it, aod
also open a public highway from
Baltimore street to the new depot hotel,
q matter OF prime necessity to the com
pany, and Of great convenience to the
public. The price asked for said
property Of Mr.. Seiss' is $4,000, which
the agents Of the company deemiug too
high have had a jury of condemnation
summoned, as we have previously stated
in other issues of the Ne1os. After
viewing the lot, the counsel on the
side Of the company and the owner
struck the names of four men each
from the list Of twenty summoned.
The twelve remaining ones were then
sworn as the jury. A room having
been been prepared at the City Hotel
for the use of the counsel and jury they
all repaired thither, where the case was
duly proceeded with. A number OF
persons were examined as to matters
bearing directly and indirectly upon
the value OF the lot, and speeches were
made by counsel, j. Fl. Gordon, Esq,
appearing for the company, and }. f.
Seiss, ESQ, for himself. At about two
o clock P. NJ. the question Of valuation
was left 10 the jury, and they were
locked up in the room by toe Sheriff,
there to make up their verdict: But
after hours of argument and dispute
amongst themselves they were unable
to agree. Some put The valuation as
low as $4,000 and others as high as
$4,000. Finally it was agreed that
they should take The average amount,
TO be ascertained by adding up the
sums respectively claimed by zach
juror, and dividing that amount by
twelve, which resulted in $6S75. But
after this was arrived at come disagree
ment again took place, and finally at
a late hour of the night as a last
resort $4,000 was settled upou, and
eleven ofthe jurors agreed 10 it, but the
twelfth man again demurred ADD re-
fused to accede. So strenuous was his
opposition that all hopes OF agreeing
were abandoned and the jury asked to
be discharged and they were then dis
missed

FROM CHARLESTON.
The Democratic Caucus-Al1 About
the NOminatiOns-Mode OIL the
Third District.
CHARLESTON, January 10.


CHARLESTON, January Is.
Such a crowd as now perambulates
the streets af the permanent ~ seat,
has not been seen since the year one
The Convention. the Legislature and
the Court of Appeals all in session at the
same time, has collected crowd long,
lean, lank, hungry fellows, whose desire
to serve the State, (for a reasonable
compensatory is equalled only by their
persistence in electioneering. All day
long they are busy, and if any members
have buttons left on their coats, they
NAV be very fortunate. But the long
agony is over at last. The caucus OF
the Democratic members assembled
in the House of Delegates tonight
and was called to orde; by w. ID.
Rollyson, and on his motion A. Brooks
Fleming was made chairman. On
motion Of Mr.. McKennan Mr.. Ro!lyson
was made Secretary. =,
For the position Of Speaker, Mr.
Campbell nominated A. E. Summers,
and on motion of Mr.. Lewis, the nom
ination was made unanimous.
For Clerk, Messrs Burdett and Fey
ton were placed in nomination and MIR.
Peyton was nominated. John W..
Homer (not little Jack was nomi-
mated for Sergeantat-arms and Capt. ).
Ii. Campbell for Doorkeeper.
In the Senate C. F. Sperry, of Green
brier was nominated for President; Mr.
J. S. Miller, OF Cabell, for Clerk; MI:
Clark for Sergeant.at-arms and MIR. Ball
for Doorkeeper.
In the Convention, Okey johnson
was made temporary chairman, but no
nominations were made. tits conceded,
however, that Hon. Samuel Prlce' OF
Greenbrier, will be President and u. y.
Butcher, of Lewis, chief Clerk.
The nominations are of course much
talked of, and the friends OF the de-
feated parties are loud In their denun'
Citations of those who went back on
their favorites, but, as was once re,
marked by an eminent Judge Tod
Almighty knows everything except
what will be the result of an election or
the verdict of petit jury.
You will see by the result OF the
nominations that the Third District has
been exceedingly modest, as usual; In
fact, l believe that modesty Is theiT
strongest hold. They only took the
Speaker of the House and the Clerk,
the President OF the Convention and
the two Assistant Clerks, the President
of the Senate and the Clerk, and a few
other miscellaneous little matters, toe
tedious 10 mention. For modesty, dit
fidence and seltdepreciation, commend
us to the Democracy of the Third DIS
trict YoRIcK.

ns-FOUR MILLIONS OF 1NNALlDS.
At the lowest computation there are never less
than four millions Of invalids in the United
States Of this number probably more than
three-ffths have neglected the ordinary precau-
tions necessary for the preservation of health,
and are suffering the punishment due TO their
csrelessness If the multitudes who are now at
ficted with biliousness indigestion, rheumatism
intermittent fever, Irregularities of the bowels,
general debility, nervous disorders, &c, had, at
the very first symptoms Of indisposition, invigo-
rated. regulated and purified their systems with
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, two-thirds of them
would at this moment be performing the active
duties of life, unannoyed by any ailmcnt of the
body or the nina.
This assertion is made advisedly.. 1t is found
ed on experience and is borne out by the testl-
mony of a countless host Of witnesses, whose at
testations cover almost every variety OF disease,
and extend over period of about twenty years.
OF every thousand persons who take the Bltters,
as preventive of the complaints above enume,,
rated, seven-eighths escape them entirely and
Of every thousand who are actually attacked,
and use the great Vegetable Tonic as q remedy,
three-fourths are radically cured. These are

They are based upon the results of inquiries
made by more than fifty thousand persons, IN
