Centaur LinIrnent.

There is no pain which the Centaur Liniment
will not relieve, no swelling it will not subdue
and no lameness which it will not cure. This is
strong language, but it is true. Where the parts
are not gone its effects are marvellous. 1t has
produced more cures of rheumatism neuralgia,
lockjaw, palsy, sprains, swelings, caked-breasts
scalds, burns, salt-rheum ear-ache, &C., upon
the human frame, and Of strains, SPAWN, gals,
&C., upon animals in one year than have all 9TH
er pretended remedies since the world began
1t is a counter-irritant an all-healing pain re-
lever. Cripples throw away their clutches, the
lame walk, poisonous bites are rendered harm
less and the wounded are healed without scar.
It is no humbug. Therecipe is published around
each bottle It is selling as no article ever before
sold and it sells because it does just what it pre-
tends to do. Those who now. suffer from rheu-
matism, pain or swelling, deserve to suffer if
they will not use Centaur Liniment. More than
1000 certificates of remarkable cures, including
frozen limbs, chronic rheumatism, gout run
ming tumors, &c, have been received. We will
send circular containing certificates, the reci-
pc, &C.. gratis, 20 any one requesting it. One
bottle of the yellow wrapper Centsur Liniment
is worth one hundred dollars for spawned or
sweenied horses and mules, or for screw-worm
in sheep. Stock-owners, this liniment is worth
your attention. n O family should be without

The County Convention.

The County Convention to nominate candi-
dates for the House of Delegates, Common
wealth's Attorney, Sheriff, and County Treas
urer, will assemble in the Court house to- day.
This body will be composed of delegates from
all parts of the county, who, we hope, will fifty
represent the intelligence, character and senti-
ments Of their constituents. That body has q
solemn duty to perform, and each member
should be sensible of the responsibility which
attaches to his action. We hope for the repu-
tation and interests of the county, and for the
honor and credit of the Convention, that its &C
ton will be patriotic and wise, and that it will
select the best men for the offices for which
they will be nominated. The Convention will
have the whole county from which to choose,
and as we have suitable men in the county,
if such be not nominated, the blame will attach
to the Convention. In such times as the pres
ent especially, the Convention should nominate
the ablest and best men without regard to To-
cality or occupation or their desire to serve.
Nominate the best men and demand that
they shall serve whether they have any wish to
do SO or not. We hope the convention will
nominate strong and good ticket which will
reflect credit upon the wisdom of that body
which the voters will take pleasure in support
ing and which will rebound to the honor and
best interests Of the county.

THE YELLOW FEVER AT SHREVEPORT, LA.
"A Graphic Description and Pathetic Appeal
for Help.-A correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Press, who has been ill of the yellow f.
yer at Shreveport, La, gives graphic sketch
of the suferings of the people in that stricken
city. He pronounces the disease to be the Mex
lean vomito, and says:

after confinement of two weeks and that
chasm of two weeks reveals tale that makes
the heart of the strong man shudder. Neigh
bors, but yesterday In health and strength, are
to-day numbered with the dead, and families
hitherto. unbroken are severed and helpless
Steamboats,, cars, and stages no longer pass our
deserted thoroughfares The solitary wagon
disdains to enter the precincts of the infected
city, and the vultures, our native scavengers,
no longer hover over the tainted district We
are completely isolated from the outside world,
The business houses OF the city are almost en-
trely closed. Merchant, banker, trader, and
every class of our citizens are devoted to the
work OF nursing and caring for their own af1ict-
ed families, or those of their friends and neigh
bors, and amidst this wall of affection and dis
tress the sincere prayer of gratitude goes up
from the heart of this city for the kindness in
the way ofmoney, supplies and help that comes
from distant cities, communities and individ-
uals in behalf of the diseased and helpless of
Shreveport. We will long remember the char
tiles Of our friends abroad, aud Heaven cannot
be unmindful of the cheerful giver in this hour
of sorrowful visitation. Our doctors are worn
out; our nurses are Frustrated with long and
tedious watching our wives, and sons, and
daughters are wasted with disease, anxiety and
care, and our ministers are exhausted in the dis
charge of their holy duties. Humanity groans
under the immense burden that rests upon this
unfortunate city. Our telegraph operators
have died, like faithful sentinels, at their posts,
and our druggists have manfully performed ev-
cry requirement in their line. We are hum
bled, and have no complaint to make. Mag

The Bravest of the Brave

, Gov. Letcher the other day related very
interesting incident Of the war while in KEN
per's room at the no ell, He said that in one
of the battles below Richmond, four flag bearers
had been shot down and call was made for a
volunteer to carry the colors. A stripping took
the torn standard. In few minutes the staff
was snapped by a shot. They boy sat down,
unloosened shoe string, and tied it, He start
ed in front again Another bullet splintered
the staff 1t was then fastened by the other
shoe string He had hardly shook the folds
out second time, when down fell the flag,
struck by ball The shoe-strings had given
out. He unbuttoned his jacket, ripped his
shirt to ribbons and wrapped the broken red
and carried the tattered ensign through the
fight.
Gov. Letcher said, when they brought me-
the boy with the shattered staff patched up
with shoe strings and shirt-tai', made hiu an
officer and gave him the best sword Virginia
had.
The gallant fellow was from Monroe county.
He was killed in battle.-Lertngton Gazette

A VIRGINIA CENTENNIAL the 18th of
October, one hundred years ago, the Eastern
Lunatc Asylum at Williamsburg, Va, was es-
tablished, and is still in existence. 1t was fifty
years after the establishment of this institution
before apy other similar charity was put into
operation in the United States, and few of the
States, even at that late date, followed the ex-
ample which Virginia had set as colony. The
managers of the Williamsburg asylum intend to
celebrate the one hundreth anniversary Of the
founding of this venerable institution on the
18th OF October next.

THE BANKS. contemporary aptly remarks
that no bank keeps the whole amount of its
interest it pays on deposits would soon eat up
its capital; it most, therefore, lend out and 9TH
erwise invest It's means. If, therefore, all, or
very large number of its creditors demand
currency on any one day, it must suspend, and
paralyzes trade, stops the mechanics, reduces
the price of produce, and brings trouble to ev-
cry hearth-stone.

Appeal from Shreveport. La.

The Shreveport Times contains the following
appeal, which the Howard Association earnest
ly requests the press of the country to publish
To Our Fellow Citizens-Y elbow fever, an ep-
idemic that has already swept away more than
four hundred OF the community, is still raging
with undated fury in our midst. We have
now at least 700 sick, Of all ages, color sex and
nationalities, all of whom, from the peculiar
character of the disease, require constant and
skillful nursing. In addition to this there are
hundreds of people left without cent and with
out employment.
Amongst these are many women and little
children, all of whom must, for the present, be
provided for and fed by the Howard Associa-
ton, for there is no work to do, and no money
to be had. The restitution in our midst is as
heartrending as the disease itself, and there is
fearful number of deaths The drain upon
the funds of the Association has thus far been
enormous, and the liberal aid sent By sister cit
les is nearly exhausted.
Under these circumstances we are forced to
make this general appeal to the country for ad-
ditional aid. We have people amongst us sui
fering, in want and dying, from all sections OF
the Union and from all nations, and we feel
that the great public heart will respond to this
appeal, extorted by the most dire necessity
Our own resources are nearly exhausted. The
wealthy are broken down; the poor are threat
ened with actual starvation, aud the sick and
dying about to be deprived of the commonest
comforts humanity can offer them. We appeal
not only to our fellow countrymen, but to ouI
fellow men for aid.

Fair will be held on the 18th, 18th and 1eth of
this month, and would urge upon them to resolve
to aid in making it a success. The profound re-
spect and exalted admiration which the people
of this county justly entertain for the lamented
founder of this county enterprise, should inspire
them, in respect to his memory, with renewed
and increased determination to make it success
in every sense. Let it be made monument of
the enterprising spirit and patriotic county pride
of its illustrious founder, who even in his fatal
illness, was doing what he could to promote its
success. The last lines he ever wrote for publica-
ton were devoted to that object, and were pub
lished in this journal few weeks since
