THE Bowling Green Paragraph
says The United Society of Shakers
at South Union. in Logan county, have
always been noted for their hospitality,
yet few people appreciate the drafts
made upon their kindness during the
war. One of the lady superintendent
kept an accurate account of the mum
Der of soldiers, Federal and Confed-
crate, fed free of charge, which. shows
the unprecedented number of City two
thousand When we take into con
siderstion the fact that the Society
numbers but little over two hundred
men, women and children-sn6 that
they took no interest in the war, on
one side or the other, the entertain
ment of so large a number of soldiers,
without regard to the side on which
they fought, reflects much credit upon
the Society and fully sustaius their
well-earned reputation for unsslfsh
kindness AID hospitality.

AN IMPORTANT ORDER.--Last
Friday, Secretary Fish promulgated an
order of the President, which has been
expected for several weeks The sum
and substance of the order Is that
Federal officials are prohibited from
accepting or holding Office under State
governments. The order is emiDently
statesmanlike-there are two many
Radical Office hunters to permit one to
occupy aud receive pay for two Offices
ut the same time. We commend the
President for this master stroke of in
ternal policy in his administration.

SMITH TONIC SYRUP.
AoUE AND FEVER
ILLS AND FEW

The proprietor Of this celebrated medi
cine justly claims for IL n superiority
all remedies ever offered 10 the public for
the safe, certain, speedy, and permanen
cure Of Ague and Fever, or Chils ana
Fever, whether Of short or long standing.
He refers TO the entire Western ard South
western country to bear him testimony
to the truth Of the assertion, that in no
case whatever will il fail TO cure, il the
directions are strictly followed and car
ried out. In great many cases n single
dose has been sufficient for cure. and
whole families have been cured by n single
bottle, with perfect restoration OF the
general health. u is, however, prudent,
and in every case more certain 10 cure, IL
its use is continued in smaller doses for
week or two after the disease hasii
checked, more especially in difisul
long standing cases. Usually, this medi-
cine will not require any aid to keep the
bowels in good order; should the patient,
however, require cathartic medicine,
after having taken three or four doses Of
the Tonic. a single dose of BULLS VEG
ETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be sufb cient.

BOARDING.

It is greatly tc the advantage of pupils
from n distance that they board with the
Principal, for these reasons: They are
saved much exposure in bad weather, lose
less time from school, have the assistance
of teachers (who board with the Princi-
pal in the preparation of lessons, are
protracted from late hours, as damaging
to health, and from promiscuous company,
ov detrimental TO advancement. No prI-
cate family can or win enforce these reg
rlations. but If, in the face Of these facts,
aarents prefer TO board their children
Elsewhere than with the teacher, there

WHEN ouE LEGISLATURE WILL
ApJoURs.-A protrseted session is
certain. We have never known so

the general opinion seems to De that
the Legislature will not adjourn at leas,
until the last Of March. and probably
up to the close of the first week III
April. The revision Of the statutes.
il there we're nothing else on hand,
would occupy the attention Of members
up to that time, aud there are other

a Destructive FIRE- Two LARGE
Houses DEsTRoYED.-The large ware
houses of Bondurant & Drewry, and
j. ii. Plaut & Bro, commission and
destroyed by fire on Thursday night
last. The FIRE originated in the house
of Bondurant e. Drewry, and is gen.
orally believed to be the work of in
cendiaries. 1t was first discovered by
Waterman at the depot, but the flames
progressed so rapidly as to defy all
efforts to extinguish. The cotton and
grain stored in these houses, when
burning, caused such immense heat, as
to defy every effort.
The losses to Messrs. Plaut & Bro,
Bondurant & Drewry, and the parties
storing with them, will prove very large,
probably $4,000 or s25, 1000.
The Plaut & Bros, are insured for
s6,900-S5 400 in the Royal of Liver
pool and London, and $500 in the
Underwriters of New York, which
however, we understand, will not cover
their loss by $4,000 or SIS, 600.
Bondurant & Drewry, are insured
for $3.50, in the Underwriters and
the Franklin, which however will not
near cover their loss.
Oswald & Co, had about 81 900 of
furniture stored with Plaut & Bro, and
we believe were interested in quantity
stored with Bondurant & Drury.
Besides these losses, number OF
privstc purti-s-lswSla -cottou. etcs. stored
with these firms. and great deal OF
which was not insured, aud therefore
a total loss to the owners.
The fire is supposed to be tho work
of incendiaries. and this superstition is
caused from the fact that safe belong
ing to the Express Company was found
broken open, which however contained
nothing OF any value, and also plain
evidence that the safe of Bondurant &
Drury was attempted to be broken
open by means of chisel or axe
Also, some weeks since, quantity OF
stolen goods was found underneath
Bondurant d Drewry's. indicating that
some robbers had made this their de
pot, and it is likely that this same party
were the authors of the fire.
We think both houses will be imme
| diately rebuilt
