TRAIN OF EyENrs.-A remarkable series of
events resulted yesterday afternoon from an at
tempt to put COW and calf on board the Mary
land ferry boat Virginia at her slip in this city.
The calf plunged into the river and swan to
the wharf of the Washington ferry boat, upon
which, after several unsuccessful efforts, dur
head was thrown under the water as its hind
out by six or seven colored men, each one of
whom held on to it and asseverated that he
alone had rescued it and was entitled to re-
ward of fifty ceuts. for so doing. 10 give each
one fifty cents would have occasioned greater
loss than the drowning Of the calf, but the owner
was relieved of his perplexity by adopting the
idea of spectator who suggested that he
could soon get possession Of his property by
opening the gate OF the slip and allowing the
COW, which was outside believing and paving
in furious ma0ner, to Come to her offspring,
for no sooner had effect been given that idea
than the frantic COW elevated her tail and max
ing charge upon those whose hands were upon
the calf, scattered them in twiukling.-
The owner then gave each OF the claimants ten
cents, when one Of them, who imagined that
he had right to all that had been given,
knocked two oil them down and took away their
portions, aud was going for the others when
the police appeared and went for him.
County CIRCUIT COURT The May term
of the Circuit Court for the county, Judge
Keith to preside, will commence ON Monday
next. There is but one criminal case SET FIR
this term, that of colored man named Mills
Stacia, charged with breaking Into house on
the Washington turnpike jus, above the canal
basir. and assaulting and robhing the prorrle-
tor, an old mikman named Mckinney. The
time for the execution OF the death sentence
upon William jackson. colored already con-
demned to be hung for the murder Of his wife,
will be fixed at this term.

THE ONLY KNOWN MEDICINE
that at the same time
Purges, Purifies and Strengthens
the System.

DR. Tuti's Pills are composed OF many ingredi-
ents. Prominent among them are sarsaparllla and
Wild Cherry, SO united as to act together: the one,
through Its sdmixture with other saost inces pur-
tying and pnrging; while the other 10 strengthening
the system Thus these Pills are at the same time
tonic and cathartic, adesideratum long sought for
by medical men, but never before discovered. In
other woFds,thsy do the work OF two medicines and
do 1t much better than nBy two we know OF, Tor
they remove nothing from the system but impufi-
ties 40 that while they purge they also strengthen
and hence they cause no debility and are followed
by no reaction.
DE-. Tutl's Pills have wonderful influence on
the blood They not only purify without weakening
It but they remove all n0xious particles from the
chyle before 1t Is converted into rnuld, and thus
makes impure blood al utter impossibllty As there
Is no debitation there Is 20 nausea or sickness
attending the operation Of mis- mosG excellent med-
cine which never strains or tottures the digestive
organs but causes them TO worK in perfectly natu-
raj manner; hence persons taking them do hot be-
come pale and emauiaed bnt on the contrary, while
All Impurities are being removed, the combined &C
ton OF the SaTsaparlla and Wild Cherry purtneH
and insigorates tho hcdy, and robust state OF
health is the result OF thoir united ton.

SOUTHERN COTTON CLAIMS.
The Awards to be AppeaIed-SPie
Sent South to Hunt Testimony
against Claimants.
From the Savannah News.


The Awards to be AppeaIed-SPies
against Claimants.
From the Savannah News.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-It has been as
certained on reliable authority that sll the
cotton awards made by the court of claims
last spring, for the South, will be appealed
by the government. The process will be
first to try the court of claims, and If this
court refuses to grant new trial, then the
cases will be appealed 70 the
Supreme Court. Every effort
will be made to defeat the payment OF
the award made by the court of claims, es-
pecialIy to cotton claimants. As an evil
deuce of the earnest efforts to be made in
this direction, it may be stated that tbs
government has sent two men 10 the South,
who will represent themselves as claim
agents, having unusual facilities for
procuring the favorable consideration and
settlement of claims, and who will try to
gather up all the evidence for and against
the claims passed, now pending and TO be
offered for consideration; but the real OBJ
ject of these fellows is to gain the conhdeEce
of claim-holders, so that they may obtain
all the evidence in their possession, which
is to be used by the government in the new
trials to be asked for. These spies of the
government, for they are nothing less, are
armed with list of claimants for cotton
against the government, and will profess to
collect all rejected claims and to collect
even subscribed Confederate cotton. The
people of the entire South should keep a
sharp lookout for these fellows, and abstain
from holding any communication with
them. One thing that has induced the gov
ernment to adopt this system of warfare
against Southern claimants, is that so many
bogus and preposterous claims are sent up
from that section, hedged in with such
plausible evidence that it cost the govern
ment great deal % defeat them, hence the
effort to kill all claims in a body.

ST. LOUIS.
Seventy-five Thousand Visitors at the
Fair Yesterday.

Seventy-five Thousand Visitors at the
Fair Yesterday.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 9.-To-day has been
the fourth day of the fair. Business is
almost entirely suspended, and to-day a
holiday is almost universally observed. The
receipts of the fair are over $4,000, which
would make the number Of peop.e on the
grounds nearly, if not quite, $4,000. The
success of the Exposition is assured beyond
q question, and has far exceeded expecta-
tions. The attraction of the day was q
trot between Goldsmith Maid and Glover,
for $1,000, but it YVES utterly impossible,
with all the police and special force organ
lied for the occasion, to keep the track
clear of the immense throngs which fairly
oyerhowed it.
One heat was trotted, and thst In very
slow time, Glover's driver being afraid to
risk his horse or himself in such an excited
crowd. Subsequently another trial was
made In the Arena of the smphtheatre,
which was witnessed by fully 10000 people,
but the circle was too short to show high
speed. The Maid took tho purse, of course.
The race for horses that never beat 2:40
was won by Bob Hunter, driven by Tom
