CIVIL RIGHTS.
A white Man Has His Bowels Cut
Out by a Negro.


Yesterday Thomas Farrell, mattress
maker, residing on Front, near 0verton,
was cut with arazor by a negro named
Harvey Porter. Porter and another
negro, Henry Clay said something to
Farrell about white men end civil rights,
and in the row which followed Porter
slashed Farrell across the bowels imme-
diately above the hip, from which wound
his intestines protruded. The negroes
were arrested, and this morning were re
manded to prison without bail by the
Recorder, the condition of Farrell being
most critical, but little hope being en-

Training for the Regatta.

A college oarsman, who belongs to one
of the college clubs, describes the training
process as follows: ss.-s.
Our daily system of training after we
got to Springfield was to get up at six
O'Clock. before breakfast take three-mile
walk, after breakfast u six-mile walk, and
Immediately on returning six-mile pull
after dinner a siX-mile walk, and then a
pull of six miles as soon as the walk is
over, then walk of three mile after sup
per. We were never allowed to rest be
tween the walk and pull, and always got
into the boat tired. AS to our food, stale
bread and beef was about the whole of it;
once in in while potato and little but
ter; no milk, no vegetables, no fruit.
We suffered most for want of water, of
which we got the least possible quantity.
One of the fellows used to hang behind on
the walks, and if he saw a spring he'd cut
across lots and steal good drink, but
most of US kept right up to it. We went
to bed about ten O'Clock, and dragged our
selves out about O'Clock.

Packing Fruit for Market.

loo much care cannot be exercised in
packing peaches and pears for market,
They should be carefully gathered. A tree
should be picked over three or four times
and only those that are well colored or
ripened put into the basket. If put up in
boxes, place in rows and fit them so tight
that they cannot move or be shaken about
IN handling the boxes. Common, inferior
peaches should be fed to hogs if they can
not be dried or canned. Better ship half
your peaches, the half being good; say five
hundred boxes good peaches, will sell for
more money than one thousand boxes
mixed and packed in careless and indiffer-
ent manner. Many men fail, or are I'M
successful fruit growers for the reason that
they do not know how to handle a crop
after they raiseit Having no system, they
put it up in such manner that it does not
appear well In market. Peaches and pears
should be put up in nice, new boxes, and
be well stenciled. A nice stencil plate
with the name of the grower, often makes
material difference with dealers. They
seon become acquainted with brands, and
thereby know who puts up the best fruit.
| have seen peaches put up In nice boxes,
neatly marked, that outsold better fruit.

A Bride Who Was Unable to Say Yes.

A correspondent from Lagrange, KY,
tells the following. Last Saturday even
ing a runaway couple presented them
selves at the Clerks office and desired to
be united in the holy bonds of wedlock.
The citizens turned out en- masse to wit
ness the ceremony, which was performed
by Rev. A. Cook ON the platform in front
of the office. The bride was very much
embarrassed, and when the officiating
clergyman propounded the usual question,
g wilt thou take this gentleman to be thy
lawful husband, to love, honor" etc., she
was SO completely overcome by her feel
ing that she could neither nod nor wink
an assent. A sympathetic young man
who had climbed up in tree near the
platform, to relieve her of the embarrass-
ment, yelled in stentorian voice, 6 Say
yes" Thus prompted, she managed to
answer the important question, and the
ceremony proceeded without further inter-

Butterfly, and when he asked me to keep
the animal for him while he went to the

brought him around, and turned him into
the cellar, where he could amuse himself
hunting for rats. That was on the 18th
of June, and after that only twelve per-
sons entered the cellar The hired girl

pieces. We thought we would have to
try to get along without using the cellar
until Butterfly could come up and take
away his dog, but Butterfly wrote to say
that he couldn't come, and the dog, after
eating everything in the cellar, and bark
ing all through every night, finally bolted
up stairs into the kitchen on the I'd of
July, and established himself in the back
y
front door exclusively while we were wait
ing for Butterfly to come up. The dog
had fits regularly, and always got on the
geranium bed when he felt them coming
on, and we consequently have not enjoyed
our flowers as much this season as we
hoped to. The cherries were ripe during

How was it, we asked ourselves, that
the word "bitters' had grown to be a
synonym for gin, whisky, rum, and other
alcoholic stimulants, to which it was APP
piled unfortunately. Bitters, we reason

not of a poisonous stimulant; something

A Mammoth Dispensary.
From the St. Louis Republican


+" Among the notable physicians of this
country, DIR. r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, n. y,
stands deservedly high. He has obtained
professional eminence through strictly legiti-
mate means, and fully deserves the enyiable
reputation which he enjoys. A thorough and
careful preparation for his calling and extern
siYe reading, during a long and unusually
large practice, have made him extraordinary
ly successful in his private practice, and gain
ed the commentator even of his professional
brethren. By devoting his attention mainly
to certain specialies he has been rewarded in
very great degree, and in these lines is re-
cognized as a leader. Not few of his prep
arations compounded for these special cases
have been adopted and are used in their pri-
vate practice by physicians throughout the
country, and his pamphlets and larger works
upon these subjects have been welcomed as
valuable additions to medical literature, and
placed among the regular textbooks of many
medical schools. Acknowledgment of the
services which he has performed for medical
science has been made by presentations of de-
grees from two of the first medical institu-
tons of the land, and by the translation of
several of his works into German, Spanish
and other foreign languages. The increasing
demand for his specifics sometime since ne
cessltated the opening of a regular dispense
ry for their preparation, and from a small be-
ginning the business of this establishment
has now grown to mammoth proportions.
Thus during the three months ending March
81, 1874, the sum expended for postage alone,
not to speak of that paid on newspapers,
amounted to $2,0S0.70. Over q hundred per-
sons are employed in the various depart
ments, and corps of able and skilled physi-
clans are retained as an advisory board in
difficult cases. Elsewhere in to-day's Repub-
lican whole page is devoted to communi-
cation from DR.. Pierce, setting forth some
thing of the history and details of this vast
establishment, which will be found not unin-
