No MORE HEROES. deadly vege-
table alkaloids such as Mercury, Strych-
nine, and Prussic Acid cannot cure disease
or produce any but the most disastrous re-
suits. Perhaps no event has occurred ot
late years which is so well calculated to
disabuse the public mind of belief in the
efficacy of mineral poisons and bleeding as
the discovery of Doctor Walker, of Califor
Mo, Of certain medicinal herbs, whose
healing principles he has extracted and
combined in the form of VINEGAR BIT-
TIERS. The cures wrought by it seem mar
velous. Its action is mild and agreeable,
but at the same time rapid and effectual,
and being unimpeded by the presence of
alcohol or fermented liquor OF any descrlp
ton, is attended with results hitherto un-
achieved by any remedial agent, The
cures of Bilious Complaints, Malarlous
Fever, Dyspepsia, rheumatism, Scrofula,
and ali diseases arising from impurities oi

of this medicine, and justify US in recon
mendingit.

This association of amateurs gave their first
public entertainment in the Hammer Hail. last
drama Of aWsnlock Of Weniock," and the
farce of THE Dutchman's Ghost The au-
dience, composed of much of the culture aHd
refinement of the town and county, did not
assemble until nine o'clock, which is very
bad custom they have. Mr.. G. s Hill, the
President of the Club, put his head from be-
hind the curtain, and announced that owing
to the sudden illness of Mr.. B. Frank Hern-
don, Mr.. Seavy, who already had one of the
heavy characters, was compelled to act two
parts; and that the charity of the audience
was requested. The performance was good
in one respect-the absence of prompting.
This is especially eommendable, because 1t
was the first appearance Of the Club. It is
cruel 20 make an audience sit down in hot
room and ylcariously suffer exeruciatiug ago.
ny because of the embarI assment of green
actor who does not know his part. The two
strongest characters in the plaF are wolf
and HWenlock of Wenlockd The first re-
quires, to personate the character well, strong
and powerful action, and q voice of great
strength and compass, 10 give effect to the
words Of passion put in his mouth. In stat.
ure and action MIR. Seavy did we'll for he
IS agile and shows his Saxon origin; but bis
voice lacked the rough masculine strength
which makes men obey and fear, and which
all leaders of untutored men must possess.
In the other part Mr.. Ssavy acted, ''Wittol
Waffle, the Jester, he was perfectly at
home, and he did, as he always does in repre-
senting humorous characters, splendidly.
Every tone of his voice is full of humor, and
provokes laughter. Mr. Hill, as ''Wenlock
Of WenIock," showed considerable talent for
the stage. In his costume, physique, and
bearing. he represented well the character of
the proud Norman conqueror of England.
His voice was strong and calm, and his &C.
tons digniied. Somewhat more intrepidity
and forcefnlness would have made it better.
"Nicholas" was, asted by DIR. Herndon so as
to please the audience. The other characters
being subsidiary, did not require strong act
ing They were performed passably well.
Mr. E. Y. Pillow, as eva" and Mr.. Frank
Lander as Catherine" did about as well as
men can in female characters; bat the fact is,
men make very poor women at best Their
attire displayed considerable taste and skill.
Walter Woldudge, as "Rose Allison" made
very good tomboy, and if that was the char
acter desired he did well. If Lady Rowena"
was a masculine termagant, Richard SAMSON
suited it splendidly, as bis voice was about as
masculine and his actions about as iunfemi-
nine as possible. DR.. Joe P. Herndon, in the
farce made a capital "Hsns." He is quite
gifted in comedy. Tho other characters did
tolerably well. The Club realized quite
large sum, and it is more than likely that we
may hear from them again soon, A little ex-
perience will make it very attractive anna
teur company.

purposely TO angle the trout, but to kill them
By shooting with shot gun and by the ex-
plesion Of bottle loaded with powder and
placed in the bottom of the pool. The gun
was loaded with wooden pins, from four to
fifteen inches long, and fred at trout as they
swan about in the clear water. Bob Matthews
plan was to kill them with loaded bottle.
The bottle was filled with powder, in the
mouth of which was placed long cane,
burnt through with iron ramrod. Sealing
wax was placed around the cane, in the mouth
of the BEETLE to keep the water out. fuse
ran through the cane to the top of the water.
The two explosions were tremendous, throw
ing water mp in the air, and shaking the banks
of the creek Both plans were unsuccessful,
and the fishing party came back home, dis
lance of ten or steven miles, without single
fish. Why was j. w. B. Thomas not along ?
W. w. Hubble, q merchant of Southport, is
