A. j. KEARNEY IN LIMBo.-In our issue OF
last week, we mentioned the fact that q man
calling himself A. j. Kearney Tor Carney had
been beating the drum ecclesiastic'' on the
Thursday preceding on the steps of the Court
house in this city. 1t seems that this vagrant
'sermonlzer went from here to Charlottesville,
where, becoming enraged at being posted as a
'cheat ana lmposter he drew pistol and threat
'ened to fire into the crowd his conduct had COL
lected around him, whereupon he was arrested
Tor carrying concealed weapons. and in default
OF giving bail for one hundred dollars. was COM
mitted to Jail to await an idictment before the
Grand Jury at the next court.
The Shenandoah Democrat published at
Woodstock, in speaking of him says: "Some Of
our citizens, who knew him in Hagerstown.
many years ago. say that he is the same Andrew
jackson Kearney who was sent from that place
to the Maryland penitentiary, under a sentence
OF seven years Imprisonment"
The text of his afternoon sermon so.collod
whilst here, was: why is man better than >
sheepiT' 1t seems that he does not furnish an
illustration of his text though, in his imprison.
ment, he may feel quite sheepish. Itnot insane
he is more of a knave than a fool. for he ex.
pressed himself in good language. He seemad
to be a man of pretty good education.

From Editor of Norfolk Herald
'This is the season which these celebrated Bit
ters are mostly sought after, and possessing as
they do worldwide fame, it is hardly necessa-
ry to impress upon the-mind of the invalid their
inestmable virtues. We have, in our social in
tercourse heard but one expression in their IA
vor, and that is, whenever used they act like a
charm, and prove more efhcacious than any
medicine that has ever been offered to the pub
lie. The maker of these Bitters uses no his hly-
wrought panegyrics or flaming hand-bills to fur
thsr the sale of his Bitters, but simply throwing
the article on its own merits, to be judged accor-
dinghy. He does not, like all the ,quack stuff
now in use, say thatit will cure all the ills COM
mon to humanity; but he stakes his reputation
that whenever taken according to directions it
will cure Ague and Fever, Dyspepsia, Bowel
Complaint, Cholera Morbus, Indigestion, Sour
Stomach, Loss of Appetite, and all diseases
arising from torpidity of the Liver and inaction
of the digestive organs. Their equal is yet to be
had.

WE MUST BEAR WITH EACH OTHER.-We
think, with the Petersburg Lader and Appeal,
that while it is the duty Of every man to meet
every liability as promptly as possible, in times
like these, and in a community like this, it is
necessary that we should bear with each other,
and be as indulgent as possible to those who are
indebted to us, knowing that when the country
is in so unsettled condition financially as it is
at present, men frequently have assets sufficient
to meet every obligation, but are unable to real
ize cash therefrom without submitting to forced
sales, and thereby rushing preciptately into in
evtable bankruptcy and ruin 1t is evident to the
thinking men of the country that the panic has
spent its force and that they can safely look for
ward to better things in the near future Val
ues are fast becoming settled, and trade in al
most every portion of the country is brisking
up. Let u.s. therefore, take courage and re-
member that when a whole community is in
trouble 1t Is the duty of every good citizen to
lend to his fellows all the assistance in his power

Life Insurance"
The Equitable Society took its position at the
head OF our companiessome three or four years
ago. and has since annually transacted more
new bu.iness than any other company in the
world. 1t has no longer an equal competitor.
Its proud position is due not only to its use
tuluess, security, wealth, ana Hherality but
to the good will of the people, whose prefer
cnces it has gained because it has answered
their requirements most completely in every
thing that pertains to Lite 1nsurance.-N T..
