Consumption can be Cured.
SCHENCK's PULMONIC SYRUP,
SCHENIk1S SE AEEn frONIC

SCHENCK's SEAWEED TONIC,
SCHENCk's MANDRAKE PILLS,
Are the only medicines that will cure Pulmonary
Consumption.
Sometimes medicines that will stop a cough will
often occasion the death of the patient 1t locks up

rhage follows and, in fact, closging the action of
the very organs that caused the cough.
Liver complaint and dyspepsia arethe causes of
tWo-thirdS OF the cases of consumption. Many are
now complaining with dull pain in the side, the
bowels sometimes costiye and sometimes too loose,
tongue coated, pain in the shoulder blade feeling
sy; the food that is taken hes heavily the stom-
ach, accompanied with acidity and belchng of
wind. These symptoms usually originate from
disordered condition of the stomach or a torpid
liver. Persons so affected, if they take one or two
heavy colds, and il the cough in these cases be
suddenly stopped, the lungs, liver and stomach
clog, and remain torpid and inactive and before
the patient is aware of his situation the lungs are
mass of sores, and liberated, and death is the in.
evittble result.
Schenck's Pulnonic Syrup is an expcctorant,
which does not contain any opium, nor anything
calculated to check cough suddenly.

mixes with the gastric juice ofthe stomach digests

costve, skin sallow, and the patient is of bilious
habit, Schenck's Mandrake Pills required.

Another Case of Bronchitis Cured.
BRIDGEwArAR, n. S., March

BRIDGEwArAR, \. S., March Cd, 1869
Mr.. JAMES /. FELLOWS.
DEAR SIR: While in Windsor on visit in
December last, fell in with an old friend
Capt IL. Coffill-and finding him looking so
hearty and robust, was led to inquire what had
produced the great change, for when last saw
him two years previous, he was mere skeie-
ton. He informed me that your very valua-
BILE Syrup of Hypophosphites had effected a
perfect cure. He persuaded me to try the
Syrup for Bronchitis, from which had suf-
fered much during several years. l pur-
chased one dozen of this Syrup, and have
used only three bottles and my health is now
better than it has been for years. Not re-
quiring the balance of the Dozen | sold it to
different parties, and now there is general
demand for it from all parts.
Respectfully yours, w. ]. NELSON.
Capt. ii. Cotfill was cured of Consumption

pophosphites; his letter was published some

Fairchild and his teamster were
wounded. A squaw and two chill
dren came in at two O'Clock this
morning. Fairchild reached Gen.
eral Davis headquarters and rela-
ted his story. Teams with an
escort were at once sent out after
the prisoners, dead or alive. No
steps were taken for the apprehen-
sion of the felons who did the
bloody work. It is generally sup
posed that Oregon volunteers are
the guilty parties. Fairchild is of
that opinion himself. The warriors
killed were not charged with MUIR
der. Those who knew them best
say that they only participated in the
open fights Every one here con-
dennis the affair as atrocious and
without excuse. There is no doubt
but that the murders were carried
out upon a carefully arranged plan,
as Fairchild noticed horsemen on
the road ahead and behind him.
When the shots were fired had John
Faifchild instead of James been
present, another murder might have
been added to the list, as the
Oregonians are bitter in their hatred
Of John, the old man, and other
Californiars.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June o.
Dispatches from Boyle's Camp
dated Yesterday" relate the
particulars Of the massacre
of Modoc prisoners, as it is sup
posed. by Oregon volunteers. On
Saturday morning John James Fair
child and about dozen other men
left Fairchild's Ranch, Cottonwood
Creek, with seventeen Modoc cap
tives, men, women and children, in
Guiding Shacknasty Jim, Bogus
Charley, Tehee Jack, Pony and Lit
tie John, in wagon drawn by four
mules. At the crossing of Lost
River the party encountered Oregon
volunteers under command of
Captain IIiser. The soldiers gath
cred about the wagon and question
ed Fairchild. The latter told them
the Modocs were all Hot Greeks ex-
cept Little John; that there were
no charges against them. Fairchild
undertook to push on to Boyle's
Camp, and the volunteers retired
to camp near Crawlcys. On the
road Fairchild noticed men ahead
riding to Rocky Point as if to in
tercept him. When the team
approached, one presented needle
gun at Falrchild, saying "Get down
you, old man."
'By what authority" said Fair
child.
''By mine; / am going to kill the
Indians and you too" was the re-
ply.
Their leader then caught hold of
the mules and unhitched, or cut the
harness. Fairchild clinging to the
lines, leaped to the ground. The
poor wretchcs implored for mercy,
and begged Fairchlld to save them.
The warriors were unarmed, and
knew that resistance was useless.
They were the coolest in the party,
though facing inevitable death, but
the women and children shrieked,
groaned, and wept piteously. Fair
child had nothing but a small pis-
toll. Six inches from his ear was
the muzzle Of a needle gun. He
says the tears came to his eyes, and
he mingled his voice with those of
the Modocs, in the hope that the
massacre might be avoided. ooh
it was terrible scene l shall new
cr forget; l shudder when l think
of what l saw. l hear the fearful
voices Of those women and children
still ringing in my ears. But the
cowardly hounds were not to be
banked. A shot, and Little John
lay dead in the bed of the wagon
with a bullet through his brain.
The mules dashed away with me
and tangled me in the lines. Five
more shots in rapid succession, and
Tehce, Jack, Poney, and Mooch, the
remaining warriors, were dead.
Little Johns squaw had frightful
wound in the shoulder. Away
ahead in the road in the direction
of Boyle's Camp was cloud of
dust, indicating the approach of a
team. The murderers espied the
dust, and in moment were riding
rapidly away. Sergeant Murphy,
Of Battery G, Fourth Artillery, with
1 ten men and teamsters came by the
team. The sergeant took charge Of

c. +. Clarkson, Of Grundy county,
himselfa farmer and member of the
Grange has the following to say in
the State Register, concerning the
attempt to make a political party of
the Changers:
Those who are precipitating the
Grrngers into new political party,
contend that the old political parties
are too corrupt even to be redeemed.
The farmers, who are presumed to
be so pure, constitute two-thirds of
those old parties, and if they are
corrupt who is to blame but these
farmers for clecting such men?
And if they have elected such men
in the past, how will it be in the
new party formed Of hungry demo-
Gratis, soreheads, liberals, and dis
appointed politicians generally?
The fact cannot be concealed that
it is this class Of men who have
nothing to lose, but all to gain, who
are now plotting, scheming and
screeching for new party.

that but very few counties in the State
can present a showing, with reference to
both principal and interest of the Per
manent School Fund in their hands, so
satisfactory as that of Buchanan. Of
the interest collectiblc last year, only
$284.27 remained unpaid at the date of my
August report to the Auditor of State.
by the provisions of Chapter "a, Acts of
the Fourteenth General Assembly, coun-
ties are to be made responsible, after this |
year, for eight per cent. interest on the |
amount of Per. School Fund held, all in
terest collections above that percentage |
to go into the county treasures for the |
use of the counties. Had this law been
hithcreto in force, the income tolBuchan-
an County from this source, last year,
would have been nearly $500 With the
present fund, this income, can, with close
of interest, be made to reach
at least $500 yearly.
The applications for loans from this
fund are largely in excess of available
resources. A registry of applicants is
kept, and loans are made in the order of
application.
