dy. One positive proof of the efficacy is, that its
sales have constantly increased and wholly upon
it's own merits. The effect of the
Pain-Killer
upon the patient when taken internally in case of
Cold, Cough, Bowel Complaint, Cholera, Dysen-
terry, and other affections of the SYSTEM has been
truly wonderful, and has won for it name
among medical preparations that can never be
forgotten. Its success in removing pain, as an
external remedy, in cases of Burns, Bruises,
Sores, Sprans, Cuts, Stings of Insects, and other
causes of suffering has secured for it such host
of testimony, as an infalible remedy, that it will
be handed down to posterity one Of the greatest
medical discoveries of the nineteenth century.
The Pain-Killer
derives much Of it's popularity from the simplici-
ty attending it's use, which gives it a peculiar
value in family. The various diseases which
may he reached by it,and in their ncipient stages
eradicated. are among those which are peculiarly
fatal if suffered to but the curative magic of
this preparation at once disarms them OF their
terrors. In all respects it fultills the conditions
of popular medicine.

occasioned. The utmost efforts are required
to keep the embankments yet secure from
being broken down and to close the breaches
already made in the levees in Baton Rouge
and other places, both above and below New
Orleans. The lower part of the latter city
was at the latest accounts in imminent danger
of an inundation, the water having found its
way over the levee in some places. A train
of dirt cars, used in connection with large

railroad, and in various parts of the country
steamers can now run where steam cars were

various parts of the city, and at the iutersec-

have two pieces of artillery. Baxter's force
has been increased by one or two companies.
A St. Louis dispatch says a considerable

milton has been shipped from there to Little

Baxter telegraphs to President Grant on
The 9th, that he has not declared martial
law outside of Pulaski county, and that moth

peaceable settlement by the legislature. He
says he only wants to protect himself until
that is done. 1t is claimed that Baxter has
the support of a majority of the taxpayers
and property holders of the State.
The Wheat Crop.
- The Department of Agriculture has
received very full information concerning the
appearance of wheat throug hout the country.
The returns cover large proportion of the
winter wheat area of each State. The winter
has been extremely favorable in all sections.
No previous season has been more generally
so since the Inauguration of the crop reports.
California alone will yield 100000 bushels.
In the South the growth is luxuriant, and
everywhere the promise is remarkable.
The Tax.Payers' Delegation.
<A Washington dispatch of the Oath, to
the Charleston Neus and Courier says:
"The House subjudicfary committee held a
brief consultation to-day on South Carolina
matters and postponed final action until next
Monday. The subject of the taxpayers me-
mortal excites the grave consideration Of the
subcommittee, who will report in conformity
with the magnitude of the interests deemed
to be involved. The influence wrought by
the arguments of the taxpayers is felt in gov.
ernment circles outside of the judiciary CON-
mittee, and is daily growing more potential,
as is evidenced by the gravity with which the
subject is being considered. 1t is noticeable
that the disposition to sift the complaints of
the memorialists and the answers of the State
officials very closely, accumulates force every
time the subject comes up for consideration,
though the solution remains involved in ap-
parently impenetrable obscurity. The honest
sympathy, and, so far as possible, the c0ope-
ration of all right-thinking people in author
ity here, seems to be going out towards the
oppressed victims of misrule, not only in
South Carolina, but in other sections of the
South.

STAMMERING.

DR.. Lane, who makes the cure Of stammer
ing specially, is now on visit to Yorkville
and has rooms at ,Rawlnson's Hotel. Since
his brief stay in this place he has effected sew
eral cures that are truly remarkable, among
them, Miss Sallie Rawlinson, who was an in
veterate stammerer, and whose impediment to
speech, by DR.. Lanes treatment, has been en-
tirely removed. She now speaks without the
least difficulty. Other persons in this vicui,
ty have been under the treatmentof DR.. Lane,
with the most gratifying results. He guar,
antees cure in every instance. His terms
are reasonable, and those who are unable to
pay he proposes to treat gratuitously.
THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.
Since the first of the present month, there
has been in this section almost a continual fall
of rain-tbere having been but two or three
clear and pleasant days during the time, until
Sunday last, which was bright, genial day,
as were Monday and Tuesday. On Tuesday
night, however, it rained again, and yesterday
was damp, chilly and disagreeable. The
earth is literally saturated with water. AS a
consequence of the unpropitious weather farm
work is greatly retarded. But little corn has
been planted, and previous to the present week
no cotton had been put into the ground. As
one of the results of the unprecedented rain
and the general backwardness of the spring,
we learn that the bees throughout the county
are dying from starvation. The wheat and
oat crops are at this time promising, and a
large yield of both is anticipated. From what
we can learn, fruit has been somewhat dam
aged by the unfavorable weather, though it is
hoped not seriously injured.
