A Buried Treasure.

The Hon. John. Eaton, Uni
ted States Commissioner of
Education, stated, a few years
ago, that in the basement of one
Of the Government buildings at
Washington there is already e.
nough information gathered and
stored away concernig diseases
of all kinds in this country to
revolntionize the whole prac-
tice Of medicine. There it lies
buried for want Of some appro-
priation to give it to the coun
try, and thousands are dying
annually whose lives might have
been spared had the facts there
hidden been known.
This vast accumulation WILL
time, be made of use to thiscoun-
try and to the world. Our rep
resentatives to such a Sanitary
Congress, as the one whose
sessions have just closed at Vi
emma, would then have a more
satisfactory basis of facts on
which to build their theories,
and the tables of vital statistics
would furnish a more reliable
and practical indication of what
might be done to arrest the
death rate in the future.
The average age of man is
greater now than it was one
hundred years ago. What
might not the result be in the
increase of longevity if this
treasure, now buried in Wash
ington, were exhumed and
given to the world?

We Mean Business.

The undersigned would res
pectfully announce to their nu-
merous friends and the public
generally, that owing to the
great stringency in money mat
tiers, and the difficulty of max
ing collections, they have re-
solved to return to their origi-
nal design Of doing a strictly
cash and barter business, and
have therefore reduced the price
of their goods to suit the times.
Our stock Of Iron and Hard
ware is very complete, and at
astonishingly low prices. Wag-
ons! Wagons! we sell the Ten
nessee Wagon Of which we
keep a full assortment; every
wagon warranted-prices from
10 to 800. We are also pre-
AIRED td fill allorders for Farming
Implements, Cider, Sorghum
Mills, Gins, &c, on short no
tice at factory prices. Give
us a call. We again call on
our friends to come and settle.
If you can't get the money,
bring your produce-will give
5 cents per bushel over the
market price for a few hundred
bushels of wheat, in payment
of debts due us.

R&s A war Of races has been
raging liz Kentucky. 1t broke out
in Lancaster, Wednesday,th 18th,
and resulted in the killing or
wounding Of four whites, four
blacks, aud the burning of one
house. The negroes, under in,
structions from a white man
named Sellers, had been all the
week preparing for the collision
had paraded the streets with arms,
making threats against the whites.
They were well prepared to fight
with the best of weapons. That
they regarded it as a war of races
is shown in the fact that they
shot at every white man that they
saw, while the white men allowed
all peaceatle negroes to pass un-
harmed. The State troops from
LIZ uisville quelled the row.
