The Internal Revenue receipts are
estimated at $9,0O0,0OO for the present
month. These duties are derived chiefly
from whisky and tobacco.
The extent to which the POSTAL
money order system is employed is
shown by the fact that last year nearly
s75, 100000 of orders were issued.
The tobacco growers of Virginia
have been unfortunate tEis season. In
some of the counties where this pro-
duct has been extensively cultivated
there will not be one.twentieth of the
usual crop secured. In other counties
the crop will seldom yield more than
one-half Or one'third of the customary
product, according to a correspondent
of the Richmond Enquirer, who has in
vestigated the matter very thoroughly.

Seeing is BELIEVING.

If in this liberal age there are persons to be
| found who are so blinded by prejudice as not tc
believe that medicated stimulant is an item
human remedies, we should like for them to
witness the wonderful effects which Hostel
ters Stomach bitters are now producing all over
the country in cases of intermittent fever, ,rheu-
matism, bilious disorders, dyspepsia, nervous
complaints, constitutional debility, mental de-
preston and permanent decay. To be sure,
these effects are nothing new. The great veget-
able invigorant and its cures have been before
the people for more than twenty-five years and
in every year of the twenty-five its popularity
has increased and its sale become larger. Yet
there are no doubt many thousands of intelli-
gent citizens who have never had an opportu-
nifty of observing for themselves the surprising
changes which this unequaled tonic and alter
ative produces in systems which seem to be
hopelessly broken and in cases of disease which
are not amenable to ordinary remedies. Prob
ably many of fthese regard the statements made
in relation to the sanitary properties of the bit
tiers with some degree of incredulity. Would
that all such skeptics could see with their own
eyes what the medicine is doing for the sick
and feeble everywhere, what a staff of life it is
proving to the aged and intirm, what help in
time of trouble TO feeble women suffering from
the complaints and disabilities peculiar to the
sex, what protection to health and life in ma
larlGuS districts, what panacea for lang guor and
depression, what specific for all diseases in
sustain ed. Ofal StimulantS it is the pureSt and
safest, of all tonicS the most genial, effective
ana agreeable, of all alternatives the least vio-
lent and the most certain in its beneficial re-
suits.

In the trial of "Jadge" McKeever on
Monday, our old friend, Levi DUNCAN, in
his argument for the defense, had one more
opportunity to spread himself against
temperance. He said: "Who is prosecu-
tin this case? Is it the boy ? reckon not.
Is it the guardian of the boy who is pros
ecutin this case 2 L reckon not Here
is another thing that convinces me that
some body else is prosecutin this case.
We have as active and competent Pros
ecutin Attorney as there is in any of the
surroundin counties. He does not want
assistance in one case in twenty But
here is Judge Hastings assistin him. 1
reckon the Judge did not volunteer his
services. Who employed him 4? Did the
boy? l reckon not. Who employs
him? Was it the crusaders l don't
know, but am convinced that this is a
mere technical offense, if any offense at
all, and it is a malicious prosecution, etc. :"

dictment under the fourth section of the
liquor law. Plea, not guilty. Jury
trial
The first witness called was II. G. Mil
Ter, who testified that ne is Deputy Col
lector of Internal Revenue, and that
some time in February last defendant
took out what is called Government Ii
cense as retail dealer in liquors, which was
renewed for one year from the first of
May, 1874
The next witness was Simeon E.
Evans, who testified that defendant
keeps room under the Isham House,
where he has for sale cigars and other
articles; that witness is agent for the
Adams Express Company, and as such
agent has delivered casks which he sup
posed contained liquors. These were
directed, some to L. Bentine, some to l..
Bentine & Co., and some to John Wood
ruff, in the same establishment
VIM. II. Garrett. Was in defendants
saloon May 22d, and bought and paid for
glass of whisky, took it into an adjoin-
ing room and drank it. Defendant was
not in the room at the time. Did not
know the bar keeper, who sold the whis-
ky.
F. M. Hudson. Defendant commenc-
ed business in February last Witness
never saw liquor sold there and paid for.
Witness very frequently went in and
drew liquor himself and drank there
Compensation was made. He would
drink, then take some candy, nuts, or
cigars, and throw down Is, 20, or 25
cents Sometimes money was handed
back. Sometimes not. Defendant had
no means of knowing whether witness
drank native wine or whisky. No ques

John johnson. This witness was a
colored boy. Bought whisky from de
fendant several times, paid for it, and
drank it in the room where sold
Capt, Lewis Davis. Knew of no sales
by defendant.
George Radcliff Drank whisky there
frequently, not less than three or foul
times Would go down and get it, gC
out, and afterwards come back and throw
down ten or fifteen cents. They would
ask me what it was for and l would tel
them it was none of their business.
James Baker. Has not been in tn
room since defendant has been doing bus
mess there.
State rested the case here.
Defense offered no testimony.
Counsel for defense argued that tn
evidence did not show that the sale
were made on different days, and if mad
on one day, would not make a series c
sales, as contemplated bY the decision Q
the Supreme Court. The Prosecutin
Attorney argued that the word "habit
ual'' does not appear in the statute, an
the indictment in this case does not us
the word. because it is not in the sta
ute. The State is not required to prov

The celebrated Mother Stewart ar
rived at this place on the morning train

Cincinnati, where she had been a couple
of days in the temperance work. She
spoke on the Court House steps at four

who were attentive and orderly At
night she spoke at the NJ. E. Church,
and at the same place at 81 o'clock. Sun

hold meetings on the streets, if only in
front of the Court House every evening
Mrs. Stewards speeches have a wonder

sense and truthfulness. At times she
becomes really eloquent, and she can

hearers longer than most speakers. Her
work here will be productive of much

1t will be remembered that several
weeks ago we copied from the Cincinnati
Commercial what its correspondent Beadle
said about temperance meeting held
while he was here, in which he set down
Rev. j. H Acton as doubtfully affirma-
tive, and Rev. J. K. Gibson as doubtfully
negative. 1t is but simple justice to
fhese worthy minisferg to say that
although their speeches that night ap-
peared to be somewhat conservative, yet
they have been working earnestly, zeal
ously and faithfully in the cause ever
since. Last Sunday forenoon we heard
Mr.. Acton preach a sermon on temper
once. 1t was powerful, argamentatiFe
logical, convincing and eloquent. If Mr.
) Acton will write it out for us, we will
publish it. as it surely would do much
good by having wild circulation.

Sunday party who went into Scioto town
ship to have good time. which ended in
unpleasantness. John Motz, who was
one of the party, informs us that the on

beer gave out too soon. He said there
were too many persons for the amount
of beer, or not enough beer for the num-
