Martin Devanay, who was senten-
ced last October to one years impris-
onment in the State Prison for muir
der in the second degree, was pardoned
by the Governor and Council Friday,
and removed to West Concord, where
he died at 4 o'clock Saturday morn
ing, at the age of about thirty years.
At the time of removal from the
prison, Davanay was apparently in
the throes of dissolution. He was al
most pulseless, beyond the power of
speech, and the pallor which death
alone shows was fast overspreading
his countenance. But he was con-
scious, and, strange to relate, had no
sooner reached his home, than the JOY
of liberation from prison and behold
ing his home and family, enabled him
for brief time to keep back the King
of Terrors. He revived so far as to
converse with ease his pulse return
ed, the life color came back. and for
several hours he battled successfully
for breath. The first excitement over,
however, q revulsion followed and
death speedily ended the sutferings Of
Martin DeyanaY.

much so that it was impossible to put
it out, and with the assistance of

WEST CONCORD.

Editor Herald. We've agreeably
surprised on receiving our mail one
day last week, to find among it the
first number of the ESSEX COUNTY
HERALD" This, to citizen Of Essex
County, is a matter of congratulation,
as we have been supposed to be a sort
of benighted people, or at least, shin
ing only by "borrowed lights" and
these, however good, could hardly
supply the place Of luminary of our
own. Such as we trust the HERALD
is destined to become. If it should
be the outspoken champion of all that
is pure, good and noble; if it should
uphold the right and condemn the
wrong if it should array itself upon
the side of the people, and in oppo-
sition to the usurpation of power, by
designing demagogues and heartless
corpOrations-in a word, if it shall
use It's powers and influence for build
ing up all the material interests of oul
county; then will it be a weekly
messenger Of good, and a paper in
which every citizen of Essex may feel
laudable pride.
In these days Of progress" when
every thing is being done by railroad
and lightning speed, county as iso-
lated as is ours, is in danger Of being
left far behind in the onward march of
the age. Within few years past, we
have largely developed our resources
and this is to be vastly increased dur
ing the coming years. Possessing US
we do vast amount of timber, much
of which is Of superior quality, with
large area of territory finely adapted
TO tillage and grazing, and with an
abundant supply of water power, and
by being brought, as we now are, into
easy access to market, by means oil
the railroads which are penetrating
our northern and southern extremetics,
Essex will not long remain behind her
sister counties of the State, in all that
tends to advance the prosperity and
happiness Of her people. That the
HERALD may do its full share in the
work, is the wish of Yours Truly,
CITIZEN.

The GLoRtots FOURTH. If the spirit
which animated OUR forefathers in '76
had not been more impervious to heat
than that of their descendants in Weaver
willie in '73, the Declaration of Independ-
ence would have been postponed until
cooler weather, and the "4th of July"
made to come in the Fall. Beyond a
good display Of flags and rather larger
gathering of bipeds on the sidewalks,
there was nothing to distinguish "Inde-
pendence Day" from any other day. Our
"Kupferkopf" friend from Junction City,
has called upon us to vent his indignation
at the conduct of Junction City's cham
pion in the foot race that was to be, but
was not. He thinks that fat hotel
keeper may run well for Office but cannot
run we'll in foot race on hot day. All
that was necessary was for the Junctionite
to have put in few good jumps to start
with, and Weaver would have succumbed
to the heat and junction would have
borne off the glory. The stake was "the
beer" and it will be source of gratifica-
ton to those of our citizens who are op-
posed to racing for bet to know that
Weaver won.

The Career OF u Great Remedy.


Twenty Summers have elapsed since it
was briefly announced that new vegeta-
Bile tonic and alternative, bearing the
name of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, had
been added togthe list of preventive and
restorative medicines. The modest ad-
vertisement which invited attention TO
the preparation stated that it had been
used with great success in private prac-
tice rs a cure for dyspepsia, bilious COM
plants, constipation and intermittent fe-
yer. 1t was soon discovered that the ar
ticle possessed extraordinary qualities.
The people, of every class, tested its mer-
its as a tonic, stimulant, corrective and
restorative. and found that its effects more
than fulfilled their hopes and expecta-
tions. From that time TO the present its
course has been upward and onward, and
it stands to-day at the head of all medi-
cines Of its class, American or imported,
in the magnitude of its sales and its rep
utation as a safe, agreeable and potent
invigorant and restorative. For languor
and debility, lack of appetite and gastric
disturbances so common during the Sum-
mer months it is absolutely infallible.
Indigestion, bilious disorders, constipa-
ton, nervousness, periodical fevers, and
all the ordinary complaints generated by
vitiated and humid atmosphere, van
ish under its renovating and regulating
influence. This is its record, avouched
by volumes of intelligent testimony, ex-
tending over period of fifth of GEN.
tury, and eomprehending the names of
thousands of we'll known citizens belong
ing to every class and calling. In Eu-
rope it is thought great thing to obtain
the patronage of royalty for a "patent
medicine,n but Hostetter's Bitters has
been spontaneously approved by mil
lions of independent sovereigns, and its
patent consists in their endorsement.

DIsAIIssED.-Some time since two Chi
namen were arrested for keeping bank
ing game, contrary to law and on trial
before Justice Crowninshield were SEN
fenced to pay fines of 5000 and $500 re-
spectively. Not caring to disburse that
amount Of change, the Celestial sports
appealed the case to the County Court
and review of proceedings was had on
Thursday. The result is that the decision
Of the JUSTICES Court was overrued, and
John departs scot free. Messrs. All Goo
ey and All Somebody else will doubtless
resume operations at once, if they have
not done so already.

A BREAK DowN.--McGillivray's sus-
pension fume which conveys water across
Trinity river to the mining claim on the
other side broke down on Saturday last.
The strain upon the wire cables proved
too great and they parted on this side of
the river near where the end Is anchored,
letting down the whole suspension part
of the structure. The pipe being full of
water at the time was considerably broken
and injured. Nc. Immediately procured
assistance to repair the cable and thinks
he will have the flume rebuilt in a week
or ten days. The damage to McGillivray
will not fall short OF 1000.

A MORAL REFoRM.-From friend in
the country who we asked for the local
news of his precinct, we learn that it was
the intention of his community, at the
time he left, to put an end TO the business
of whisky-selling at that place. To ac-
eomplish this it was Thought best to drink
up what whisky was on hand as "start-
er." This was about done at the time
oar friend came away and the crowd were
beginning Qike Alexander) to look for
"more worlds to conquer" We shall
await with some anxiety the result of the
experiment.

FRILLs.-The clerk in the Office of the
State Controller is putting on huge style
in the absence of that officer. "Dressed
in Little brief authority" he declines to
receive the payment to the State of Treas
,irer McCsusland on the ground that it is
not worth bothering with. The amount
is between two and three hundred dollars,
and the July settlements of this county
since the abolition of the Foreign Miners
License law, are invariably small. The
law requiring County Treasurers to make
semi-annual settlements with the State
seems to be in-operative with this fiedge-
ling.

rior to that of the first. The, Pixley sis

the Fourth of July by attending Tourtel-

To MIcHIGAN.-Dr. H. NJ. Chauncey,
for many years practicing physician in
this county, left on Tuesday morning
last for Michigan, where his friends re-
aide. DR.. Chauncey, at one time was the
owner of a valuable property near Wea-
verville, on the road TO Douglas City,
and he spent largely Of his means to i'm
prove the place. In his desire to aid his
friends some of whom proved false ones,
Chauncey became involved and lost the
whole of his possessions. He then re-
moved into town and resumed the prac-
tce of his profession, with great success.
OF his later career we shall say nothing
it is not such as his friends will think of
with pleasure. He was man who, when
himself, was possessed of a kind heart,
which was ever prompt to listen to the
pleadings Of distress. In the practice OF
dis profession he was always kind and
obliging, responding often to the call for
his services, where there was no expecta-
ton of fee or reward. Henceforth let us
hope that his lines may be cast in pleas
ant places Is uas aae lza

A SHORT TURN.-Minturn, who drives
Gwn's team, was unloading some paper
in front of the Journal office, when his
team took sudden fright, and made as
short and sudden a turn as was ever made
in this town, except by a disappointed
candidate who sought refuge andan office
Mt the hands Of the "great unterrified."
The team barely missed the ugly hole
ON the corner and started down the street
but were stopped by Jack Hall, opposite
Junksns' store. One of the horses was
somewhat injured but the wagon was not
damaged. Minturn wants us to challenge
the stage driver to beat that turn if he
can. He thinks that his team being
owned by Democratic candidate, took
that method of objecting to hauling freight
for Republican newspapers.
