same road Stragglers, however, are still ar
irving and from two who reached here this
morning the following information is obtained.
They were employed in the construction of the

the shanties with all their clothing and provl
sions, aud came with an ace Of burning up
sick colored man who was lying IN one otthem

fusion, and with nothing but the few clothes
they wore to body OF woods some distance
of, in which they scattered in every direction

Special NOTICES.

@ HALF ALIvE-It is sad thing to pass
through life only half alive. Yet there are
thousands whose habitual condition is one of
anguor and debility. They complain OF no
SPECIFIC disease they suffer no positive pain, but
they nave no relish for anything. which affords
bust and energetic fellow beings
In nine cases out OF ten this state of lassituda
and torpor arises from morbid stomach. Indi-
gestion destroys the energy of both mind and
body. Whea the waste of nature is not supplied
by due and regular assimilation of the food,
every organ is starved, every function inter-
rupted.
Now, what does common sense suggest under
these circumstances of depression? The system
reeds rousing and strengthening; not merely for
an hour or two, to sink afterwards into q moe
pitiable condtio than ever las tassuredly would
do if an ordinary alcoholic stimulant were re-
sorted to- but radically and permanently.
How is this desirable object to be accomplish
ed? The answer to this question, founded on
the unyaryng experience Of a quarter of q GEN.
fury, is easily given. lntuse new igor into the
digestive organs by course of Hostetter Stom-
och Bitters. Do not waste time in administering
temporary remedies, but wake the system up by
the fountain-held 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
tonic and invigorant have been taken,
the feeble frame of the dyspeptic will begin to
feel its benign influence. Appetite will be Gre
ated, and with appetite the capacity to digest
what it Graves. Persevere until the cure is
complete-untl hcalthful blood, fit to be the ma
terial of flesh and muscle, bone and nerve and
brain, flows through the channels of circulation,
instead Of the watery pabulum with which they
have heretofore been imperfectly nourishcd.

Just So.

The following from the Chatta-
nooga Times of a recent date is
suggestive. We copy it SO that
oar farmers may see how it is
themselves:
eve happened to rass by a
crowd of farmers yesterday whom
Capt. Nicklin was bautering about
their manner of doing business
Pointing 10 a pile Of barrels Of po-
t,toes he said: "You see those
barrels 4! They are full of pota-
toes from Northern Indiana for
sale in this market, and there are
now 1000 barrels on Walden's
Ridge unsold. If you can't get
your price you take your produce
home and let it rot, butthe North
ern farmers sell theirs for what they
can get and our money has to 60
out of the country" One of the
farmers corroborated this, saying
that he had brought wagon load
Of potatoes into town for neigh
Dor who wanted a dollar a bushel.
The m ,rket price was75 cents, and
he had taken the potatoes home
had them now. If this farmer and
will calculate the value of his time
and labor and that of his team,
he will see that he has lost more
than the difference between the
market price aud what he asked.
We hope Capt. Nicklin will con-
tinue his missionary labors, and
that our farmers will learn that it
is better for them to supply this
city with vegetables, etc, than to
have US buy our potatoes, cabbage,
etc, from tie North, while they
raise corn and wheat and bacon to
send South, and compete there
with produce brought at reduced
railroad tariffs"

From the San Francisco Bulletin.


From the San Francisco Bulletin.
Yesterday afternoon a party of
Chinese residents, having become
thoroughly disguised with the
slow and uncertain course of jus
tiCe through the labyrinth OF
technioaIities and successive tri
ais, and lack of confidence i'll the
integrity of petty juries, resolved
to visit summary punishment up,
OH az offending Celestial, who was
accused of stealing $500 in coin.
The Court convened in the case
assembled at a Chinese wash,shop
on Fourth street, and consisted of
the accuser, a second heather,
who probably officiated as prose-
cutting attorney, and the unjust
Court Individually, who permit,
ted the introduction of no such
fooIishness in his jurisdiction as
pleas of emotional insanity, hys-
terra, or other forms Of moral IL
responsibility. The evidence for
the prosecution having been pa.
tiently leafd by His Honor.
the prisoner was then examined
by twisting a towel about bis
throat, but the process filled tc
elicit any testimony pointing &c
the whereabouts of the missing
coin. The solemn duty then on
Ily remained for the Court to pass
sentence upon the guilty wretch
according to the new penal code
just adopted by the reform factor
among our Chinese residents
Exceptions on motions for a new
trial, if any were made, were in
dignantly rebuked, and the Court
ordered that the prisoner-te taker
from the place where he was ar
rested to the place of execution
at Long Branch, where his body
should be sunk in the bay, ano
the pleasure of the gods concern.
ing the final destiny of he eul
Iprit was a matter of indifference
to His Honor. The prisoner was
hustled off in broad daylight t.
the locality indicated, the Judge
accompanying to superintend The
proper execution of the sentence
and see that no flaws were discov
cred in the Indictment or humbus
technicalities raised at the las
moment. 1t appeared that The
execution was witnessed by a boat
man, who padded out to where
the condemned was founderinE
in the water, and with consider
able difficulty succeeded in eff
fecting his rescue. Thus agar
were the gods of Justice subver
ted. The officers of this new
Court, and culprit likewise, were
taken in custody by members O
the old conservative police force
and conveyed to the city prison
and a new trial ali round will bt
! the inevitable result.
