prove that DR.. Pierce, the proprietor of
DR.. Sagc's Catarri Remedy, is in earnest
and means what he says, when he offers
S50OO reward for any case of Catarrh
which he cannot cure, yet there would be
some skeptics and fogies who would con
sinue to shout, "Hum6ug" "HUMBua %
ut cannot be, because DR.. Homespun SAYS
Calarrh cannot be cured" Now this DR..

old fellow who honestly believes and per-
sists in declaring that this earth is not
round OF sphericfi, but Eat as a s'slap
jack, and does not turn over, otherwise
the water would all be spilled out of Den
crn Bascom's mill pond. But astr ,nomical
science has positively demonstrated AMI
proven that DR.. Homespun is wrong in
supposing this earth to be nat and station
Hry, and medical science is daily proving
inc fact that he is no less mistaken aud be :

A squad of high-toned Boston phi
Ianthropists, too cowardly to 60 and
see for themselves, took 1t into their
heads last fall to send the Rev. Sclla
Martin, celebrated negro clergyman,
on winter campaign through the
Southern States for the purpose of as.
ccrtaining how the "colorcd brethren
are getting along with their freedom

made his report to these Boston Solo.
mons on the 10Th. 1t is evident from
his story that things are very much
out Of joint down South, but the cler,
gyman withholds great deal more
than he tells "out in mcetin." He
admits, however, that the negro mem.
bors of fSoutbern Legislatures are very
ignorant, and frequently take bribes,
but he blames the carpet. baggers, who
have gone down there to enrich them
selves, for all the woes which affiict
tho negro and the whites. 1t is a
stubborn fact that every prominent
Abolitionist who has gone down
South, where the negro revels in FREQ.
dom since the close Of the war, comes
back home disgustcd with the work
hc helped to complete. Yet they are
not honest enough to stump the coun-
try over as they did before the war
and declaim against the evils which
are destroying that fair portion Of our
country. The negro sldue was happy
and prosperous, but the negro free
man is unhappy and decreasing in his
native home. Modern philantbrophy
has created an antagonism between
the two races, and placed the one on
the limo Of extinction. Is William

About thirty.6vc years ago great
excitement prevailed in tho upper end
of Buffalo Valley and the lower end Of
Pcnns Valley, caused by the finding
of dead horse in tho Narrows DO.
tween MOTIFS hotel and Roush's hotel,
near a saw mill pond. Many Of our
readers no doubt recollect the repeat.
cd searches made to find as they sup.
posed murdered man, and when tho
water was lot out Of tho mill pond
tracks were discovered in tho mud
but no body was found. Tho excite.
ment throughout Centre and Union
counties at the time was very great.
1t is now reported that man died
in Illinois lately who confessed to the
murder, and implicatcs four other
parties. He statos that tho man they
killed was drovcr from Berks coun.
ty and had n large sum of money.
They killed him and his horse and
buried the man under the horse, but
when the excitement broke out they
became alarmed and dug it up and
put it in tho mill pond. During one
of the searches it was agreed in the
evening to draw the water out Of tho
pond the next morning. That night
the murdercrs let off tho water and
took the dead body away up on the
side of the Sugar Valley mountain and
buried it, and the next morning were
among the first on the ground to
draw of the water and assist again In
the search. sii}fa vs ,|nl .
Although but small boy at tho
time we recollect the facts Of the cx-
citcment and searches very distinctly,
and when our parents removed from
Lycoming 10 this county, soon after,
while passing through the Narrows,
wo looked before and behind at every
curve in the road to gee n murderer or
dead horse. And 50 great was the
excitement at MOTIFS hotel, where we
remained over night, that no one
seemed to talk about anything else
bat the murder.
We will be able in short time 10
give our readers something more def.
mite about the matter. Because, if a
man has, on his death bed in the west,
related these facts, the names Of the
parties will not be concealed much
longer. If there were five persons on.
gagged in the murder it will open a
wide field for conjecture and invosti-
