The Beginnings of Disease.

Il is as true as that s.great oaks from little
aeorns grow that frightful diseases are often
engendered BY seemingly trihing ailments
Casual fits of Indigestion superinduce chronic
dyspepsia. occasional bilious attacks eliminate
in fixed diseases of the liver, intermittenttwin
in the legs and arms degenerate into the con-
tinuOus agony Of acute Rheumatism. Not that
such disastrous consequences areineyitable. FaE
from it, They are attributable to neglect \
few doses OF HOStetter's Stomach Bitters VIII AZ
WAYS cure casual Indigestion or an ordinary bill
iOus affection, or arrest the pTemOnitOry symp-
toms of rheumatism. 1t is true that when dys-
pepsia, or liver complaint, OF rheumatism, or
constipation, or nervous debility, OF sick hcad-
ache, has become n permanent evil, and has
even baffied the skill Of eminent physicians and
resisted all tine ordinary remedies, II may stu
be eradicated by the BtterS; bat it il easier, ~
Macbeth suggests, to crush the serpentS egc
than the grown serpent.

The Coffee Trade-Present anil Pros.

9eCb1Ncs.
From the New York Bulletin, Dec. q.
Rio coffee has advanced fully &c. per
pound since our last. The stock has been
held very firmly at the higher prizes, and
this has restricted business. The steamer
''Merrimac" arrived from Rio last Saturday
with 9,143 bags. 4,119 of which have been
sold; besides 6,34S bags, per "Anna," have
been disposed of, leaving a stock on We'd
nesday of 36,95S bags. At the out ports
the stocks were 3O,S64 bags; total in the
United States 67,S22 bags. OF course hold
ers have a great advantage in the position,
and although there is lull in the trade at
present, it is expected that within the next
two months there will be considerable bu-
siness. January and February is usually
an active trade period, and there seems to
be nothing to indicate but that this will be
the case in the opening months Of 1873.
There is nothing especially new N the pO-
sition here, or nothing to state in ref
erence TO the tendency of the mar
let but what has already been stated in
the Bulletin. We pointed out i'll our last
the various influences calculated to adj
vance prices, and during the weel; there has
been an advance of &c per lib, making the
range at the close of Wednesday 235a2Sc
gold, the latter figure for small lots. There
is next to nothing loading at RIO JaneirO
for the United States, and the European
markets are firm. These are strong points
in holders favor, and a further advance
would not be surprising. Despite the ex-
traordinary high prices at present ruling,
there seems to be no perccptible falling off
in the consumption, and the coffee market
cont inueS to be one of the wonders in bust
ness experience. The consumption in the
United States, for some years past, as is
well known, has been gradually increasing
ever since the war, and it may not be I'M
interesting to show the increase in some
detail. The following is from the "Cofiee
Trade" statement, by MeSsrs. c. H. Schoff-
ner and H. E. Moring, showing the con-
slImntion for the wears named:

Business is remarkably quiet, owing
probably to the fact that the holidays are
not yet fairly over. The banks report but
few demands for loans, and we believe that
the regular customers of the several banks
have no difficulty in getting all the accom-
modations they desire.
Exchange on New York is dull. The
banks Iuy at td3 discount and sell at par.
Sight cotton drafts are taken at J off, with
but small amounts offering.
Gold opened in New Y Ork at 1109 and
closed at 1105. For the small lots offered
here dealers pay 100 while they sell at 10
61109. Silver is taken at 103 for halves
and quarters.
Government bonds are higher. The fol-

SHELBYvILLE. Dec. 26.-The exami-
nation of the Shelbyville high school
began on Monday, continuing through
Wednesday. A tasteful selection of
readings, dialogues and songs were in
| terspersed with the declarations and
other exercises. On Tuesday evening
the courthouse was densely crowded
with an audience to hear the young la
dies and gentlemen declaim for a-prize
We cannot particularize the merits of
each speaker. A doctor, lawyer and
merchant were constituted judges, and
each, sitting apart from the others,
graded each performance by marks ac-
cording to his individual judgment.
At the close the marks on the three
lists were added together, and 1t was
found the highest aggregate Of marks
had been awarded to Miss Lizzie Smith,
daughter of Prof. H. H. Smith, and
she was presented with the prize, a
handsome copy of Shakespeare. While
the committee were adding up the
marks the audience were entertained
with calisthenic exercise by the young
ladies. The way the girls went from
right shoulder shift and marched
around in battle array, reminded me
Of war and woman's rights. The exer
else was a fine illustration of what the
word callisthenic means, graceful
strength"
ADDITIONAL SCHOOL TAX.
On the 9th Of January next the
voters of this civil District will deter
mine whether two mills on the dollar
shall be added to the tax already as
sessed for common school purposes. l
am- informed by the Superintendent
that the additional tax will be needed
to sustain the high school another year,
as well as to insure the appropriation
of two thousand dollars by Dr. Sears
from the Peabody fund. En- PEASANT,
! may venture my opinion that Bedford
possesses the best superintendent in
this State.
CHRISTMAS.
On Christmas eve, Mr.. H. z. Boone
and Miss Lizzie Nelson. were united
in wedlock by Rev Wickliffe Weakly,
and the merry party that assembled
were regaled with a rich bridal feast
The same night the rising genera
ton of Shelbyville were enlivened with
a juvenile ball, which lasted far into
Christmas morning.
The boys a I'D darkies made the most
of Christmas in the way of sound and
fury signifying nothing" The police
were off duty, and the corporate laws
were suspended as to the nuisance of
noise. Some bruised heads were the
result Of too much liquor. The novelty
Of the day was a turkey shooting"
which passed off without any thrilling
incidents. The night ushered in
calico ball." which was highly en-
ioyed, and arrangements are already
complete for ''fancy-dress BALI next
Tuesday night. But the energy of
our young men is not all in their toes,
as is evidenced by the recent reorgani-
zation of the
HERMETHENIAN SOCIETY,
for the promotion of good manners,
morals and mental culture. Tonight
the question of the desirability of SUBJ
stituting national system for the
present State plan of common schools
was ably debated by Messrs. E. Shop
ard and g. n Tillman, The public
are cordially invited to their meeting
next Friday mig 1t. PHOENIX.

Small Il Co., in their Monthly Coffee Cir

The market, for ten days succeeding the
date of our last monthly report, continued
to improve daily, stimulated by good de-
mand from the interior, so that holders
steadily advanced their prices to nearer
approximation of Rio values, and all offer
ings were promptly absorbed.
During the past fortnight the market has
been excited and buoyant, with very large
improvement in prices, and almost every
thing offering has been taken. Our re-
vised quotations Of 4a4ac. gold advance
during the month, scarcely meets the views
of present holders. Imports of Rio coffee

From the New York American Grocer, Dec. o.
The upward movement in Brazils con-
tinues. Congress has adjourned until
January 5, and although it is doubt
full what action that body will take
concerning the replacing Of the duty on
coffee, It is generally Thought that the Gov
erniiient will have to adopt this; COURSE to
provide the NECESSARY reverites. Thestoek,
however, Is now in SO few hands that either
with or without duty the position can be
sustained OF even still further Advanced!
The STEAMER Merrirpack brought Q, 149 bags,
chiefly OF good and prime qualities, and
these tended to stimulate the demand, and
a fair business was done at advancing
prices. Of her cargo 521 bags sold at 25c
gold, 500 bags at gTic, 50i at 26ac SS4 at
285c, 500 at pic, LOO at 26ac; 4,346 bags
