r. V. PIERCE, NJ D.:
Dear Sir-Your favor is just received. /
intended to have written to YOU several weeks
since concerning the improvement in nv
health, which is now very apparent 1 have
used one bottle of Favorite Prescription with
the best results, although I will admit was
somewhat discouraged after its use (for a short
time only. took it under very disadvan-
tageous MISUNDERSTANDING the supervision
of the house and during the season of sshouse
cleaning" was obliged, through the incompe-
tency of help, to do more than ought, and, of
course, suffered dreadfully, lifted when I
ought not to have raised my hand, and did all
| could to bring "order out of chaos, but
upon laying aside all cares and continuing the
remedy find after using less than one bottle
to be so much benefited that 1 have discon-
tlnued the use, with no return of the symp-
toms OF which l wrote you. I have suffered
terribly and what added to my distress was
the consciousness of not procuring relief
from ordinary sources, at times it seemed
about Impossible to stand so great was the
distress. All of those severe neuralgia pains
have disappeared, they were so bad at times /
could hardly walk without some external
pressure. They seem to have left me like
magic, suddenly, and have had no return; ali
other symptoms have been removed. The Sc
we're weakness and faintness have disap-
peared, and | can go up stairs with compar-
alive ease now. / would have informed you
ere this of my Improvement, for appreciated

eft was receiving, but think sufficient time
has elapsed to consider the beneficial results
permanent. Accept Of my best wishes for
your future success and your kindness in ad.

DoN'T TAMPER WITH A CeLD.-Perhaps in
the whole category of diseases to which hui
manity is susceptible, the cough is most neg

generally regarded as temporary affection
unpleasant and nothing more; but to those
who have paid dearly for experience, it is the
signal for attack for the most fearful of all
diseases-Consumption. A cough will lead to
consumption-if not checked-so sure as the

THE Pekin Oily Bulletin relates that
the coffin of little child who had been
buried several weeks was taken up and
opened recently, and that the body "was
not only in state of perfect preservation,
but actually so improved in appearance
as to resemble the most beautiful wax
work. A rich rose color tinged its cheeks,
a placid smile lit up its countenance, and
only the icy GOODNESS of its flesh, and the
fact that it had lain for weeks in the grave,
could remove from the mind the impress
sion that it was not dead, but only enjoy
ing a refreshing Sleep"

Fatal RencOunter.
From the North Texas.l

A difficulty occurred on Sunday last,
at Liberty church eight miles south of
this city, which resulted in the death
of a man by the name OF McCurley and
IN the wounding of his son, by the
hand OF u young man named Pierson.
1t seems that Plerson had married a
daughter of McCurley, and separated
from her; that the fruit of this mar
riage was n child, which Pierson had
never seen, and that he attended
church on that day to see the child. As
there was i'll feeling existing between
Pierson and the McCurleys, a difficult
ty was apprehended, and some of the
citizens present prevailed on Pierson
to ask old man Curley's consent to see
the child, which consent was granted.
Pierson went TO the mother and saw
the child, but as he returned ont of the
audience young MoCurley, brother Of
the wife, threw himself against Pier
son, who showed him Off, whereupon
McCurley drew his pistol and fired,
which shot would have killed Plerson
had not the wife and sister sprang for
ward and knocked the pistol aside /:
Immediately after which Pierson fired,
wounding young McCurley in the arm.
Plerson was then attacked old bylman
McCurley, who fired shot which
would again have killed him had not
the pistol been knocked down by a
gentleman standing near; INN edi-
ately after which Pierson fired the
shot that killed McCurley almost in-
stantly.

The Home OF the Alstons,

South Carolina papers state that the
celebrated Richmond Hill plantation,
on the Waccamah river, in that state,
Is offered for sale at the low price of
twelve hundred dollars. 1t has sea-
shore residence attached to it, and was
worth one hundred dollars per acre be-
fore the war-the Atlanta Herald mem
tons that it once changed hands at
two thousand six hundred dollars per
acre. II is one Of the most princely
estates In the country, and possesses
the historical interest of having been
the ancient home of the AlstOns and
the scene of Theodosia Burr's brilliant
reign. LISA dismal proof of the qualor
into which the old commonwealth has
fallen from It's former splendur and

Accident 10 DIR. NIays.

An accident of very painful char
acter befell the above gentleman, at
his residence in the eastern part of the
city, on Monday evening. DIR. Mays
was seated upon chair on the gallery
in front of his house, and, without TAX
ing the precaution to examine his prox-
unity to the edge of the gallery, moved
his chair backwards, and was thus
thrown a distance of some six feet to
the ground below. The weight of the
fall being upon one OF his arms, he
suffered an extremely acute fracture OF
that member. Surgical attendance
was at once procured, and we are graft
fled to be able to report the doctors
rapid recovery.

and reports the following:
On Saturday, the eighteenth, Colo
mel John Denny and Stokes Berry, liv-
ing six miles west of st. Joe, Montague

most intimate teens, went to st. Joe
together. Afterimbibing pretty freely
of whiskey, they, in playful manner,
began toscutlle with eacn other. Berry
threw Denny out of the grocery door.
That excited both. Friends interfered
and prevailed on Berry to get on his
horse and go home; however, after
remaining on his horse for n few min
utes, he dismOunted and started for the
grocery where Denny was and their
friends had them shake hands and drop
the quarrel. Denny, in aplayn full man
ner slapped Berry OH the side of his
face, remarking at the time: "Stokes,
you know / think too much of you to
get mad at anything you would do"
At that time Berry drew knife and
cut Denny one inch below the heart on
the left side. Denny was taken to n
Doctors office, and was still living on
Sunday morning, but the physicians
said that it was impossible for him to
live forty-eight hours longer. Berry
was arrested and placed under guard.
Colonel Denny was quartermaster in
the federal navy during the rebellion,
and % man of fine education and gen
tlemanly department, is sixty-fve

except five hundred dollars, which he
