CarbOlic Acid i'm Intermittent Fever.

Until now," says NJ. Declat, "we
have tried in vain to find a substitute
for Peruvian bark which will rival its
virtues ; we have positively found one
which cannot only vie with it, but which
is infinitely superior to it. This remedy
is carbolic acid. AS we have applied it.,
it is superior to Peruvian bark itself,
since it has so far succeeded, in our
hands, in every case, some of which
were the most serious imaginable. The
new remedy is therefore not last resort,
to which one may have recourse when
all other treatments have failed-an
auxiliary to Peruvian bark, to essence,
to hydrothirapic or other febrifuges-
but may, on the contrary, be employed
in the first place, even before Peruvian
bark, in all cases, in all climates, with

Food for the Workers.

Nearly every laborer and mechanic in
the United States can earn and does
earn more than he need expend or does
expend for necessaries. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars are paid out annu-
ally in the city of New York by these
classes for things which are worse than
useless-liquor, tobacco, costly and un-
wholesome viands, to say nothing of
drugs and doctors. Sickness, however,
is large item in the average expenses.
All that journeymen mechanics and day
laborers require to become Independent
in few years is a curtailment OF need
less expenditures and this means a
knowledge of living so as to preserve
health, and the abandonment of all per-
nicious things. There are hundreds of
families in New York who pay one or
two dollars per day for food, when one
half the money, judiciously expended,
could provide more and better nourish-
ment. For example, the supply pur-
chased on Saturday afternoon, to last
till Monday noon, may be:

The Clarke County TRAGEDY

This horrible tragedy, of which we published
Geographic account last week, it seems, is
too true. 1t was reported, during last week,
that it was an accidental affair, but a long &C.
count of it in the Winchester Meaos, of the L tn
confirms telegraphic report. Clinton Little lived
only about hours and died at about ii on the
same day of the tragedy. The Neecs, speaking
Of the causes Of this terrible affair, says:
One is that Oscar and Lycurgus had received
a part of their patrimony. but going to Missouri
had managed to spend it. Returning home
they demanded another division, which being
refused, they determined to force it at the pis-
tol's mouth. Of course these demands led to
frequent quarrels and broils, until finally the
ieud eliminated in the killing of the brother
who pertinaciously resisted their demands
Another is that Mrs. Little had made over the
property, which she Inherited from her father.
Col. Phlneas Bowen, to her son Clinton, as he
always remained with her and managed, and
that these two becoming jealous determined to
recu'y matters In this way. Another that they
thought, as Cliuton had just returned from
Washington, he had perhaps ST. 900 on his
person and they took this method to obtain
possession Of it. At any rate there has been
from all accounts bad blood between the
brothers and other members of the family fol-
some years, which has finally led to this sad
consummation. Let us hope that never again
may our people be shocked with such horri.
be and bloodthirsty affair.

GubernaCorial.

Much has been said and written, of late,
about the Gubernatorial canvass which will
soon be opened. Many able and true men have
been brought out, each of whom, apparently,
has considerable strength. In every section of
the State, tickets have been made up, and the
local papers have, in many instances, come to
the support Of these particular candidates.
The Conservative press and politicians all
agree that the Conservative candidate for Gov
ernor must be man of ability, frmness and
integrity, who can bring to his support the en-
tire strength of the party, whose public as well
as private character, is free from any stain or
blemish, whose record is unspotted, and in
every respect above reproach.
In less than month, both parties will have
their standard bearers in the field, and the
friends and supporters of each will 60 into the
canvass, with determination to work faith
fully for the success of their ticket.
The Conservative convention, which assem-
bles in Richmond, on the 9th of August, should
consider well the claims of the several candi-
dates, whose names will be before it. This
convention, we believe, will name the next Gov
ernor of Virginin, and therefore wise selec.
tion is Of the highest Importance; no personal
feelings should influence any member of the
convention, the true interests and welfare of the
State should be the ruling principle in the con-
vention. The prosperity of the State for the
next four years depends in great measure
upon the choice made then. -ScottsvMe Cour.
A correspondent of the Wing got the i'm
preston that General Kemper is the choice Of
the people of Albemarle for Governor. We
have not heard such an expression of opinion
as would lead US to the same conclusion, but
have heard enough to satisfy us that General
Kemper's nomination would be heartily &C.
guessed in That would be the case if Stuart
or Hunter, or Conrad, or Letcher, or Withers
were nominated. We believe that the Conser-
vatives Of Abemarle will support either one Of
them most cordially-and, indeed, will not fly
out of the ranks if any good Conservative il
nominated, if he is sound on questions of f
nance. The people are not quite ready for re-
pudiation, or any thing that squints that way

HoNoRs TO THE GETTYSBURG DEAD The
Richmond Dispatch of 10th, says, the remains
of the three hundred and fifty Confederate dead
recently brought from Gettsburg were escorted
from Rockets to Hollywood by detail Of ten
men from each company in the First Virginia
regiment. At o'clock the representatives
from each company, commanded by sergeant,
proceeded to the First Market. where they
waited until the arrival of the vehicles contain
ing the remains. The line was then formed,
McCann's First Regiment band and the drum
corps taking the head of the procession. Next
came the wagons bearing the remains. Each
wagon was tastefully draped in mourning and
decorated with miniature Confederate battle
flags
Following the remains were number of bug
gies and carriages containing ex-Confederate
soldiers and officers of the First regiment, and
members Of the Southern Cross Brotherhood.
Among the officers were Colonel Sloan, Adju-
tant John A, Laughton, Captain Carter of the
Howitzers, and others.
The procession moved slowly and solemnly
to the grounds, and was followed by large
number of persons on foot. On reaching the
cemetery the remains were conveyed at once to
Gettysburg Hill, removed from the wagons,
and placed upon the sod. After appropriate
ceremonies the line was reformed and returned
to the city.
The bodies will be reinterred at once.

The New York Herald has achieved another
journalistic triumph. By running through
lightning express to Baltimore and Washington
it supplies those two cities, as we'll as Phila-
delphia, with that paper four hours earlier than
formerly. The newsdealers and people in Balti-
more were SO surprised by this feat that they
at first refused to believe it, and insisted that
the paper had been antedated But it was
nevertheless true. The Herald had come
through in six hours, and that, too, without
the Intervention of Professor Wise and his bal
loon, or the tubular air-tunnel. The Herald
certainly does deserve credit for the enterprise
Its management exhibits on all occasions, and
also for its Gberaity towards its brethren of the
press, for We learn that it did not strike sim
gle exchange from its list under the new postal
law, and there is hardly country paper in the
land, of any note, that it does not exchange
with, sending even its daily to the most unpre-
tentious weeklies.

They say that the ofice-seekers in Minnesota,
where the farmers oranges are numerous and
influential, are taking very kindly to ''the new
movement" This is characteristic. 1t was
never otherwise. But the farmers had better
be on the alert or the ofice-seekers will make a
hobby of their movement and either ride into
power on it or ride it down. 1t is much more
probable that they will do the latter. for their
espousal of any cause is usually fatal to it.
