his back to the approaching train, and
one of the workmen, seeing Coberte
danger, rushed on the track to pull
him away, when the train struck both,
killing them instantly.

In This place, on the IS tn inst, of
paralysis, Mr.. JOHN Il. o. WILBAR,
Sen. i'm the 10Th year of his age. Mr..
Wilbar was born in London, England,
and while yet an infant, was brought
to this country by his parents, who
settled at Alexandria, Va, where the
vigorous portion of his life was spent
in the pursuit of mercantile business,
which developed an energy of charac-
ter and an incorruptible integrity that
won for him hosts of friends, and the
Recollection of which shed a lustre
around his declining Years. Some
years since he removed 10 Tennessee,
and il was there that he was first
visited by one oftbOse terrible strokes,
which are invariably the premonition
of final dissolution. Hoping TO recruit
constitution naturally vigsrous, but
enfeebled by disease and advancing
years, he sought our mountain home
about twelve moths ago, and improved
so rapidly in health as TO inspire his
friends with the hope that his days
of usefulness were not yet over, but
on Thursday evening last, REPETITION
of the attack which had robbed life OF
its activity and vigor, closed his exis-
fence. Pioneer.

Brick MasonS. We again state
that there will be need of Good Brick
MasonS in Bristol the coming Sum
mer. There will be large demand
for brick for building purposes. Du-
ring last season, many persons we're
forced 10 build of wood for the want
Of brick, and during next Summer,
there will be erected very many more
houses than there were during last
Most of the johnson, and many OF
the King Lots will be built upon. In
the very heart of Goodson, there will
be sold quite Runljer of elegant
business locations, which will be
built upon, if brick can be had ready
to order.

The Coolest Period. I'VE have had
during he week, the coolest weather
which has visited the town of Bristol
since it has had an existence. Sun
day morning last dawned upon a six
inch snow, which during the past day
and night had quietly settled upon
town and county, loading the tim
Der to a very unusual entent. On
Monday at Z A. NJ. the mercury
stood four degrees above zero, and
during the day, it remained below the
freezing point, at 10 2. NJ. it had
dropped to minus two degrees, and at
Z a. NJ. on Tuesday it touched the
frigid line which marks eleven de-
grees below zero. The sky was
/ perfectly clear during the night, and
there was not the least perceptible
motion in the atmosphere. The calm
was absolutely perfect. a brisk wind
would have rendered the weather
fearfully severe.

Thc.New Shoe Factory.

In another column will be found
the advertisement of a house which
promises to endure, and to become
for Bristol an enterprise of positive
benefit. We allude to the new Shoe
& Boot Factory at the sign of the Big
Boot. The firm of G. w. Frost &
Co., embraces just barely a tinge of
the foreign element, so much desired
and SO much overrated by our citi-
zens. Mr.. Frost is from the New
River Valley Of Virginia, where he
has been successful in the business.
Mr.. WIN. II. Trammell. a thoroughly
well known citizen of Bristol is a
member of the firm, and the fact that
he started here without a dollar, and
has by his skill and energy, become
one of our most prompt, honorable
and successful business men, argues
and even warrants the success of the
house. 1t is their intention to man
ufacture all grades of good work in
their line, aud to keep them on the
market at prices which will insure
the patronage of the country. In
order to place the enterprise at once
before the public, they have pur-
chased at the very fountain of the
American Shoe business, an excellent
stock of goods, and they expect by
their own manufacture, to supply
the work they sell, and to keep the
stock at a high and satisfactory
standard. They also keena full line
of shoe findings and implements,
which Boot makers will find valuable
to them. The enterprise is one which
promises well for our town, and it
and the gentlemen conducting it,
are of that substantial character
which afford us one Of those pleasing
subjects which we delight to display
in our columns

Sinking Slowly.

Diseases that progress rapidly to a crisis
are not the only ones to be dreaded. Cank-
el or dry rot does not blast a tree as sudden
" as stroke Of lightning, but unless ares
ted it destroysit as certainly and in like
manner chronic debility, although it does not
kill with the swiftness of yellow fever, is as
sure to sap the springs of life eventually. as
any acute disease, if not checked by invigo-
rating medication, There is something in
exprcssibly touching in the soectable of pre-
mature decay. Languor, pallor, emaciation,
depression of spirits, and distaste for ex-
ertion, are It's ordinary symptoms, and they
should be promptly met by tonne treatment.
The best invigoTant and exhilerant that can
be administered in a case of this kind is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. The stimula
ting principle of the preparation rouses the
dormant energies of the system, and the
strengthening and regulating properties give
a permanent and healtbful impulse tothe Vi
tai forces thus brought into play. The fail
ing appetite is re-awakened, the process
of digestion and assimilation are quiekened,
the quality ofthe blood is improved, the Sc
cretions become mere natural, and every or
gan that contributes to the Hourishment Of
the body undergoes salutaTy change. by
these means the repair of the physical struc-
ture is effected and its health and vigor res
tored In no class of diseases has the bene-
ficent operation of the Bitters more marked
and striking than those characterized than
by general debility and nervous prostration.
Ladies affected with these ailments find in
this most wholesome of all TONES and correc-
tives the safetest and surest means of relief.
