Singular Deaths.

The Knoxville Press end Herald
gives the following remarkable
train of singular deaths:' = a very
short time ago, we announced the in
Simultaneous death of Gen. Dewey in
the court room, in this city, without
previous sickness or any premonition
Of the approach Of the fatal destroy
er. A few days afterwards, we pub
Iished the death Of Mrs. King, from
the bite of so insignificant an insect
as a common spider. And then fol-
lowed the case Of the negro woman.
who died on the night of the same
day on which Mrs. King was buried,
her death being caused by a blow on
the head with a common ale bottle,
thrown by the weak arm Of the in
FAINT she was nursing. And, now, we
have to record the death Of Mrs.
Lucinda Hicks, wife of Mr.. Alexan
der Hicks, residing on Prince street,
which took place 104 o'clock last
night. One week ago, yesterday,
Mrs. Hicks pierced the ball of the
thumb of her right hand with a COM
mon steel sewing needle. Infam-
nation ensued. growing worse. day
by day, and finally battling all efforts
of physicians to bring relief, ended
in death.

The Career of a Great Remedr.

Twenty summers have elapsed since it was briefly
announced that new vegetable tonic and altera-
tive, bearing the name Of Hoseetters Stomach Bit
tiers, had been added to the list Of preventive and
restorative medicines. The modest advertisement
which invited attention to the preparation stated
that it had been used with great success in private
practice as cure for dyspepsia bilious complaints
constipation and intermittent fever. 1t was soon
discovered that the article possessed extraordinary
properties. The people Of every class, tested its
merits tonic, stimulant, corrective and restora-
tive, and found that its effects than fulfilled
their hopes and expectations, From that time to
the present its has been upward and onward,
and it stands to-day at the head Of all medicines of
its class, American or imported, il the magnitude
of its sales and its reputation as SAFE agreeable
and potent invigorant and restorative. For Ian
guor and debility, lack Of appetite and gastric dis
turbances SO common during the summer months
it is absolutely iufallible Indigestion, bilious dis
orders, constipation, nervousness periodical levers
and all the ordinary complaints generated by Vi
tiated and humid atmosphere, vanish under its
renoyating and regulating influence. This is its
record, avouched by volumes Of intelligent testi-
mony, extending over period of fifth Of cen

of well known citizens belonging to every class and
calling. In Europe it is thought great thing to

A Cure for Cholera.

The Knoxville Chronicle. of the
9TH, says: in view Of the fact that
other portions of our State are being
scourged with that dreadful disease,
cholera, it behooves every one to
Immediately provide themselves with
the best known remedies, for, to be
cured at all, cholera must be cured
quickly. The first symptom Of this
disease is usually a painless diar-
rhma, accompanied with a feeling of
GOODNESS in the bowels. Where the
cholera is prevailing no other warn
ing is necessary, but the person at
tackled should Immediately lie down
and keep quiet, have a large mus
tard poultice prepared and cover the
entire abdomen. To stop the diar-
rhGa nothing has yet been discovered
more efficient than DR.. Lytle's Elk
If, taken in liberal doses, which
should be taken as soon as possible.
Should the case be stubborn and
pain and cramp follow, take large
dose of DR.. Hart Great Relief in
wardly and have the limbs rubbed
vigorously with the same. BY fol-
lowing these simple directions, no
one need fear cholera.

The Local Editor.

The following is borrowed, and it
is the best we ever had a local editor
lend US:
'If man buys a new buggy, or
if his COW can bawl three times with
out winking. the local is expected to
proclaim it with grand flourish
If he starts a two-penny business,
his first thought is to bride the local
with a five cent cigar, to write up a
five dollar puff. Indeed, he thinks
it is a mission of the local to make
his fortune for him by free blowing
He will take the local to one side
and point out the superior qualities
of a rat terrier dog, and coolly ask
him to give him a hoist He don't
care anything about it, only Sprig-
gins has a dog which he thinks is a
buster, and some Of 'em wanted his

of Spuggins.' Everybody wants to
be put in they are the GREAT 1

put yourself inside of this new suit
Of clothes, or throw yourself outside
this oyster stew, or stuff this watch
into your pocket Oh, no, of course
not that would cost something
The shoe is on the other foot you see.
The local is supposed to know every
thing about other peoples business,
and is expected to show up all the
actors in every family broil in town.
If the vile tongue of scandal finds a
victim, people wonder why he don't
run about with his note book and
gather up the vituperative bits of
SANDER of his paper. If he steps
into a billiard hall he is requested to
make note Of the astonishing fact
that Bill Tompkins has made a run
Of eleven points. When the min
strel troupe arrives in town, the
agent Immediately rushes into the
printing Office, and, calling for the
local. he slips three or four tickets

Sudden De- tbs.

The Knoxville Chronicle, of Sun
day, says: Mrs. Lou Hodges got on
the train at Chattanooga, on the 4th,
and shortly afterwards complained
of feeling unwell. Growing worse,
the conductor sent a physician to
her assistance, who did all in his
power for her relief But medical
skill nVailed nothing by the time
the train reached Knoxville she was
dead,
Peter Metler, a young German,
living near Knoxville. had been
harvesting, on the 4th. Going to
the house about ) o'clock in the eve
ming, he held his head under the
pump and pumped cold water over
it. He soon complained of feeling
unwell and went to his room. In
less than two hours he was a corpse.
An old man named Harris, living
in the suburbs of Knoxville, was at
tackled with cholera morbus several
weeks since, but got over it. For
several days past he had been troub-
led with bowel complaint, but re-
gardless Of the warning, he worked
hard all day on the 4th, drinking
cold water freely. In the evening
be was again attacked with cholera
norbus, and by morning was dead.

Enclose Vacant Lots.

Many of our citizens own vacant
lots about town, and groan and croak
about taxes. Strangers come to our
town and are struck with the scat
tered condition Of our place the bald
look about it, and form an unfavora-
bic impression. Now, if every one
owning a vacant lot will enclose it
with a neat fence; put it out in tim
othy, or orchard grass and clover,
and make from one to four tons of
hay, they will be we'll paid for their
trouble and expense, have money to
pay their taxes, and add greatly to
the appearance of our town and en-
nance the value Of their property
A little enterprise goes a great way
sometimes.

Important Work.

We are reminded of the fact that
the farmers of Hamblen county are
expected to meet at the court house
on Saturday, the 10Th of the present
month, at which time G. W. Charlton
will be here in order to confer with
them as to the agricultural statistics
of the county. We understand that
he has sent out blank forms to three
live men in each civil district, for the
purpose of getting them to report at
the time referred to, the statistics of
the different districts. This is an
important gathering, and especially
so to our county. We hope there
will be no failure in the movement.
The presumption is that Mr.. Charl-
ton will make a speech on the oc-
casion.
