A little boy, the son OF Henderson Kidwell
was drowned yesterday in the river, about two
miles above this place. He had gone in bathing
with several other boys, and was wading along
on sand-bar where the water was shallow,
when reaching the end of the bar where the
water became suddenly deeper, he slipped off
without being aware of the depth of the water,
and being unable to swim was drowned before

Paradise Lost" these memorable words
ITO BE WEAK is MISERABLE"
Never was truer sentence written than this
supposed to be wrung from the Arch-fend in
his impotence and agony. Every victim of ner-
vous debility, or Of that depressing languor
which is one of the accompaniments of dyspep-
sia and biliousness, can testify to the misery of
mind and body which they involve. The mo
tive power Of the system is partially parayzed ;
the mind is haunted by anxiety and fear and
the sufferer is as incapable of applying himself
wers under the benumbing influence Of catalep-
sy. This terrible mental and physical cond-
ton need not, however be endured for forty
eight hours by any human being Plantation
Bitters is an absolute specific for all the torments
which deranged stomach, disorderad liver,
and shattered nerves, superinduce.
10 The worst Coughs yield, as if by magic,
to the wonderful curative powers Of DR.. Pierce s
Golden Medical Discovery.
