SPECEAL NOTICES.

GS~NATURAL DECAY-PRoTEcT THE Sfs-
TEM-The human body is a machine and there
fore cannot endure forever; but, like watch or
a sewing machine, it will last much longer If
properly regulated and duly repaired, than If
no pains were taken to keep it IN order. The
great object of every one who desires long and
healthy life should be to put his body in con-
dtion to resist the Misunderstanding influences by
which we are all more or less surrounded; and
no invigorant or corrective at present known so
effectively answers this purpose as the vitaizng
elixir which, under the unpretending name OF
Hostetters Stomach Bitters, has been for more
than twenty years the standard tonic of Ameri-
ca In crowded cities, where the atmosphere IS
contaminated with the ef1uva inseparable from
large populations in marshy regions, where the
soggy soil reeks with miasma; on the pralrles
and in the forests, where every fall the air Is
tainted with exhalatiol.s fro IN rottng weeds and
grasses, or decomposing leaves-in short, in
every locality where malaria exists, this power
full vegetable antidotc is urgently needed. Fe-
vcr and aguc, bilious fevers, dysentery, conges-
ton of the liver jaundice, rheumatism, and all
diseases which are generated by infected air,
impure water, or sudden changes of tempera-
ture may be averted by strengthening and reg
ulating the system in advance with Hostetter' S
Btters. Autumn is always a season OF peril,
especially TO weak, susceptible organizations.
Even the more vigorous are apt to be in some
measure depressed by the humid atmosphere
loaded with dcleterious gases produced by vege-
table decay. The fall is period of the year
when the renovation and regulation of the living
machine is peculiarly important, and the Bitters
should therefore be taken daily at his critical
season sep 3O-eelw

RICHMOND, Oct. "a meeting of the Con

ties and other prominent members OF the

hotel, in this city, yesterday Gen. Eppa Hun
ton. of Fauouier, in the chair, and j. r. Fish
er, Secretary. Upon a call of the counties tor
reports as to the organization of the party, pro-
gress of the canvass, &C., very favorable state
ments were made. Mr.. j. B. Smoot, County
Superintendent of Alexandria, made very ia
vorable report of the condition of affairs in his
city and county.
Mr.. Daniel, Chairman of the State Central
Committee, made an elaborate statement OF the
political condition of affairs throughout the
State, urged the necessity for a strict compll,
ancc with the plan of organization as laid down,
and made an earnest appeal Tor assistance to
enable the committee to carry out its designs,
which were, that the State should be thorough
ly canvasscd, and the people furnished with
documents to enable them to know the true
state of the Country, and the acts Of the pres
ent administration, and also to rcfute the SIAN
derous charges brought against Mr.. Greeley.
He was in favor of an aggressive campaign and
thought that instead of defending MIR. Greeley,
Gen. Grants acts and policy should be held up
as warning to the people.
1t was decided that upon return to their
homes, of those present, that more active
measures should be taken to fully arouse the
people 10 the great importance of the success of
the Democratic and Liberal ticket, not only as
great National necessity, but in order to re-
tain in the hands of the Conservatives the con-
troll of our own State affairs. The meeting was a
large and very harmonious one, and will doubt.

A SAD ENDING.-It was stated Yesterday

A SAD ENDING.-It was stated yesterday
that Ann Montgomery, white woman, had
been found dead in her house between Ben
nng's bridge aud Fort Meigs, on Monday, The
particulars, as ascertained by official investiga-
ton yesterday, show that the. deceased was
named Ann Guthridge, a member Of respect
able family OF Fauqulcr county, Virginia. Sad,
indeed, is her history.
But few years since she was the bright or

as unfortunate girl was driven from home and lett
to struggle hopelessy in the world, with wo-
man only safeguard-v lost to her for
ever. Remaining with her kindred Until high
strung notions forced her for not only sympathy
but actual support to look for a home among
strangers, she came to this city about three
years since and lived as domestic for awhile
in the house Of Police Lieutenant Austin IN
East Washington, from whence she went to
live in the same capacity with Mr. A. West, a
farmer, near Fort Mcigs, on the Marlboro road:
In Vests employ was colored man, named
Lemuel Montgomery, with whom shortly alter
her employment there, she became SO intatu-
ated as to live with him to all ntents and pur-
poses in marital relation. Fourteen months
ago a child was born to her by this Montgome-
ry, at which the employer Of both (West) be-
came so dispIeased that he forbade her presence;
thereafter on his premises. Her unnatural
league, however, did not forsakc her. He
rented a farm owned by Professor Scala, OF
auondam Marine Band notorlety, aud there
fixed her comfortably, leaving her. on proceed

About noon that day u colorcd woman named
Celia johnson called to see her, and her re-
peated raps on the door met ouly with fright

Auxlously she peered in at the window, aud
there saw the degraded victim OF this notice
dead on the floor. She burst the door open at
once, when her worst fears were realized. as
there doubled up on the floor, in close proxlm-
