THAT FAvORITE HOME RRMEDY,
PAIN l. L Err,

Has been before the public over TRIKTY
YEARS, and probably has wider and bet
ter reputation than any other proprietary
medicine Of the present day. At this
period there are but few uuacquainted with
the merits of the PAIN-kILLER but while
some cXtol it as a liniment, they know but
little OF its power in casing pain when taken
internally while others use it internally
with great success, but are equally iGno-
rant of its healing virtues when applied
externally. We therefore wish TO say to
all, that it is equally successful, whether
used internally or eternally. 1t is sufficient
evidence ofits virtues rs a standard medi-
cine to know that it is now used in all parts
of the world, and tnat its sale is constantly
increasing No curative agent has had
such wide spread sale or given such uni
versal satisfaction,
DAVIs'S PAIN-kILLEh is a purely yege-
table compound, 7erpared from the best
purest materials, and with care that in
sureS the most perfect uniformity in the
medicine +; and while it is n most effective
remedy for pain, it is perfectly safe mcdi-
cine and while il is most effective Ie-
medy for pain, it is 4 perfectly safe medi-
cine, even in the most unskiiul hands.
1t is emineaaty FAMILY MEDICINE /;
and by being kept ready for immediate re-
sort, will save many an hour Of suffering
and many dollar in time ana Doctors
bills.
After over thirty years trial, it is still re-
ceiying the most unqualified testimonials
to its virtues, from persons of the highest
character and Responsibility. Eminent
Physicians commend it as n most eiiectual
preparation for the extinction of pain. 1t
is not only the best remedy ever known for
Bruises, Cut, Burns, &C., but for Dysen-
terry, or Cholera, or any sort of bowel com
plaint it is a remedy unsurpassed for eff
cheney, and rapidity of action. In the great
cities of India, and other hot climates, it
has become the standard medicine for all
such complaints, as well as for Dyspepsia,
Liver Complaints, and all other kindred
disorders, For Coughs and Colds, Canker,
Asthma, and Rheumatic difficulties, it has
been proved by the most abundant and
convincing testimony to be an invaluable
medicine.
We would caution the public against all
limitations of our preparation, either in
name, or style of putting up.

THE wheat crop OF Virginia promises to
be very fine this year. A letter from kich-
mond under date of Sd instant, says that
the AREA in tue karyes6 oftbs cereal, is lar.
ger tins year than any since the war.
While they do not expect to approximate
their crops Of twelve to thirteen million
bushels before the war, the prospect gencr-
ally is very favorable. For years to come
the increase of this crop in the wheat grow
ing Southern States, and in the Western
States and Territories, will largely increase
the former by reconstruction being more
completely perfected yearly, and the latter
by the great immigration from Europe and
the Eastern States.

The Trial OF tn Q srodocs.
SAN FRANCISCO J

. OAN hANClSCO June 10.
A dispatch from Boyle's Camp dated
will be taken TO Fort Klamath, where the
commission will sit to try them. Some OF
the wounded soldiers have been already
sent 10 Fort Klamath. 1t Is generally
thought that Bogus Charley, Hooker jim,
Shacknasty jim, and Steamboat Frank,
who volunteered to aid in capturing Cap.
tain Jack, will escape punishment as muir
derers, but those who are not tried for
murder win be forwarded to Alcatras, in
San Francisco harbor. .-
Major Jackson's troops will start for
Fort klamath this evening to prepare for
the reception of the Modoc prisoners.
THE MASSACRE OF INDIAN PRISONERS.
A dispatch from Jacksonville, Oregon,
says General Ross and the Oregon volun-
teers have just arrived. They deny that
the massacree of the Modoc prisoners was
committed by the Oregon volunteers, and
declare that they had other and better op-
portunities for killing the prisoners if they
had desired to do so.
ARRIVAL OF INDIAN COMMISSIONERS.
BoYLE's CAMP, Tuc Lake, June IL
Last evening Hon. j. X. Luttrell, Con-
gresham elect from the Third district,
Judge Steele, Sheriff Morgan, j. S. Mat
thews and L. II. Antiock arrived here.
Messrs. Duttrcll and Steele came for the
purpose Of inquiring into Indian affairs.
This morning Captain Jack, Scafaced
Charley, Boston Charley, Schonchin,
Nose, William, Princesses Mary and Liz
zie, were escorted to the office tent under a
corporars guard, SO that Judge Steele
might talk with them, and gain such in
formation as might throw light upon cer-
tain acts which are now enshroudod in
mystery.
Jack, Schonchin, Boston and Nose, were
in chains /; the others were loose. The cap
tvcs formed the usual semi-circle in the
tent. Jack had an ugly, sullen look, ap-
pleased at being brought forth for talk.
The dark lines about his eyes, which are
bright and glittering, indicate that confne-
ment even in large airy tent is beginning
to wear him. Restriction of his liberty has
greater effect on him than the suspense
about his future fate. Only few days
since he told the officer in charge of the
prisoners that his Indian heart was dead
and his body cold. ..-... lila.
All that he wished was that Lizzie, his
fayorite squaw, might be allowed to sit be-
side him. His request was granted and
the squaw came to him. During the inter-
i'm he and Schonchin sat on a dry goods
box and Lizzie squatted at their feet.

FlRE.-A large and destructive fire oc.
Cured in Valley township, last Wednes-
day night. The large distillery of L. j.
Boyer, together with grist-chopping mill
and II saw-mill were burned to the ground.
The cause of the fire is unknown and whe-
ther the result of accident or neglect can
only be coniectured. Most all the whis-
key was saved by the eXertions of those
present. The amount of whiskey saved
was considerable, being worth about 5000.
All the hogs were also saved from the des-
structive element. The loss to Mr. Boyer
must have been very great, his establish
ment being very large and extensive and
which has been turning cut quality
Of whiskey famous through all this portion
Of the State. We will give a more detailed
account in our next issue when all the facts
will have come to light. The property was

APPALLING STATEMENT The Brook.
lyn New York. Eagle makes the appalling
statement that over three hundred bodice
with every evidence of violent death upon
them, have been found in aud about that
city during the past twelve months. 4 few
OF them were recognized by friends and
privately buried, but the great majority re-
manned unidentified Many OF the dead
were children, a few were old men, but the
mass were composed of the mature and
strong OF both sexes. In single week the
bodies Of twelve infants were found beneath
the docks. This is terrible exhibit of one

| men OF the city. The Legislature had been
| informed, as we chroncled last March, that
the officials only held their places by prox-
| les procured by agents. and this Is where
the event is striking and notable. AT the
election but one vote was cast by proxy
that OF policy holder who was unable to
appear i'll person, and the next striking
point is that the old board were unani-
mously reelected, except two who had re-
signed whose places were acceptably filed.
Therefore the thing wsa all one sided and
very dull. Had English been out Of Jail
you may rest assured that one vote would
have been recorded solid and solemn
against this result But the 81, 900 men,
bers whose officers hold in trust cash re-
serve OF over $50, 600, 900 would probably
care very little about it. AprOpos Of this,
English is still in Jail, the bail though re-
duced from $4,000 to $4,000 not being
forthcoming.

THE APPROACH OK THE CHOLERA.
While there are many and continued ru-
-mors of dread King Cholera visiting cities
IN the Southeran States not more than 3 or
1 days journey from New York, il behooves
the health officials among US to be on the
alert, lest the disease should steal a march
upon the crowded metropolis and assume
the form of an epidemic. That such eau
tion and watchfulness as the case demands
is exercised at the entrance of our port,
where infectious diseases are supposed first
to demand entrance among us, visit to
Quarantine will fully satisfy the most eX-
citing inquirer The authorities hold that
they are ever on the lookout for cholera
and kindred diseases, but they do not an
ticlpatc that the former will reach this port
at this time, yet il may, as any single pas
senger from a village in Europe or else
where infected with the disease might take
passage on board crowded ship, and
after departure eontaminate the majority
OF his or her fellow passengers. This risk
has been deemed one of danger for years,
and now is held as such by the medical
! gentlemen there in charge, but not more SO
than during many seasons past.

A TEXAS TRAGEDY.
Four Men Killed while Asleep

| The following vivid details Of n most har-
rowing and heart-freezing butchery of sew
eral cattle men while asleep was given us
by gentleman from the neighborhood of
the tragedy, yesterday:
On Friday last, q most fendish murder
| occurred on Elm Fork OF Trinity river,
near the village of Head of Elm, in Cook
| county. One of the numerous herds of
cattle being driven over the Kansas trail
had been corraled for the night, and after
supper those that were not on duty as
guards soon rolled themselves in their blank
cts, to get what little rest cowboy" can
have.
About ten O'Clock, a Mexican who was
one of the hands employed, and who was
acting as cook, steathily procured an axe
and commenced in cold blood to murder
the unconscious sleepers. lie succeeded
in killing four, when, just rs he was in the
act OF despatching the fifth one, the sleeper
suddenly awoke, and discovering his dan
ger, gave the alarm, and he, with the re-
manning ones, escaped.
One of the murdered men had his head
completely severed from his body, while
the others were mangled in the most ghast.

ican was not looked upon as being danger

A Terrible Tragedy I'm Mime.

BELFAST. June lG.--At daybreak this
morning, Almond Gordon, farmer living
near Thorndike Station, and his wife and
youngest daughter, were found murdered
in one bed, and his little son, 6 years old,
who slept in crib in the same room, fear
fully wounded, and the house set on fire.
All the bodies were much mutilated.
A bloody axe with which the slaughter
was done was found near at hand. A
younger brother of the murdered man is
now under arrest, charged with the crime.
The alleged cause of the bloody work was
n dispute about some property. The sus-
pccted man appears perfectly calm and
manilests no anxiety.

ADDIrroNAL PARTICULARS.

The following additional particulars OF
the Thorndike murders have been ELECTED :
john Gordon, man of 20 years, had re-
Gently conveyed to his son, Almond NJ,
his farm, with $1,000, taking back mort
gage for life for the support of himself and
wife. The other son, John T., was dissatis-
fed with this ggl 81 oqnnd nds YBrofeT
though! va the property would fall to him.
This is the only motive thus far assigned.
At the time of the murder the old people
were absent on a visit. The inmates OF the
house were the murdered man, Alonzo. NJ. q,
aged 25; Emma A., his wife, aged %
their children, John b., aged 6 =; Anna, a
little girl Of II months !; Anna, niece,
aged 9; John T., the brother, and n hired
man. AT three \. NJ. the latter was
awakened by the shrieks Of the little boy,
and Immediately discovered that the house
was on fire. lie called the neighbors and
the flames were eXhnguished before much
damage was done. The bodies of the ia
ther, mother and infant, who occupied one
bed, were soon found, mangled and SO
scorched as to be hardly recognizable.
The little boy, who slept in a crib in tho
same room, was severely wounded, but
may survive. The hlcca, deed vas evil
deutly committed with an axe, which was
found on tue premises.
The wounds of she three murdered per-
sons were Indicted upon their heads, and
must have caused instant death. The
brother John T., was soon arrested. He
is ~ years old, f0.,n aborer, and unmar-
rico, lie maintains sulen indifference,
refusing to answer any questions, but says
mat at the proper time he will defend HIM
self. The cOrOner's Jury had not render
cd verdict at half past six p. NJ. The
prisoner will probably be arraingncd before
