SCHENCK's SEA WEED ToNIc.-Iu the atmosphere
experienced here during the summer months, the
letLargy produced by the heat takes away the de-
sire for wholesome food, and frequent preparations
reduce bocily energy, particularly those suffering
from the effects of debiitating diseases In order
to keep narJraI healthful activity Of the system
we must resort to artificial means For this pur
pose Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is very efectual. A
few doses will create an appetite and give fresh
vigor to the enervated body. For dyspepsia, it is
invaluable. Many eminent physicians have doubt-
sd whether d. yspepsia can be permanently cured by
the drugs which are generally employed for that
purpose. The Sea Weed Tonic fin its nature is to-
tally different from such d.ugs 1t contains no cor
rosve minerals or acids; in fact it assists the regu
lar operations OF nature, and supplies her defcien
cies The tonic in Its nature so much resembles
the gastric juice that it is amos identical with that
fluid The gastric juice is the nGtur solvent which
n healthy condition Of the body, causes the food
to be digested and when this juice is not excreted
in sufficient quantities, indigestion, with all its
1 distressing symptoms, follows. The Sea Weed
Tonic performs the duty of the gastric juice wheT
the latter is deficient. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic

slabs of lumber of unequal width, third
part of which is stationary, while the re-
mainder acts as lid, working on two
heavy hinges. On the inside of this lid
are stats, SO arranged that dog from the
inside cannot touch the lid by several
inches. A water-pipe is led into this box
at the side. near the top. and an exhaust
pipe is placed at the bottom. When it is
necessary to destroy an animal, the crea-
ture is put in the box, the lid shut down
and the water turned on, while the ex-
haust-pipe below is closed. In this appa-
ratus the dog must remain until, inch by
inch, the water gains upon him and he is
drowned, or death results before that is
done, by barbarous suffocation unalleviat-
ed with any mitigating scientific appli-
ances. The water for this purpose is sup
piled from the private main OF the gas
company. Last winter the pipes in the
dog-house froze and burst, since which
time the water has not been turned on.

Riot in Mississippi.

NIcKsEURG, Sept. G. The Herald gives
the following account of the disturbance
of Clinton on Saturday afternoon: There
is a law prohibiting the sale OF liquor in
Clinton. Some Young men from Raymond
brought a bottle with them, and while
speaking was going on Martin Sively and
some OF his friends went off a short dis
lance to take IL drink The colored mar
shall for the occasion approached them
and forbade their drinking The order
was not regarded. and when the marshal
attempted to take the bottle from Sively's
hand Sively struck him over the head
with it. Senator Caldwell (colored) start
ed to settle the difficulty, and was follow
ed by some twenty negroes whom he or
dered back, but about one hundred OF
more come rushing up. Some one fired
shot which was followed by general firing
and stampede. Sively fired all the bar
rels Of his revolver, and then the negroes
demanded his surrender. He surrendered
and gave up his pistol, after which he was
shot and his brains knocked out. He was
then robbed of his clothing and finger
was cut off to get his ring.
The iniuriate,' mob found Charles Chill
ton in his yard ana shot and killed him
in the presence of his family. Frank Thorn
ason a promising young lawyer, was shot
from his horse one and a halt miles from
the scene OF the conflict, and after falling
the savages drove their knives into his
body in many places. John Neal was fatal
y slot in the left lung in the town, and
Waddy Rice seriously in the hand.
Four negroes We're found on the field
and two were mortally wounded. Six
additional negroes have been found dead
bout Clinton since
The white men of Clinton were organ
lied at once for selfprotection under Col.
| Harding, and kilograms We're sent here
tor assistance. Fifteen minutes alter the
receipt the first despatch 80 men were
ready to march, and took special train
which reached Clinton at Z o'clock. About
! O'Clock more reinforcements came from
Jackson The roads were picketed dur
ing the night, but all danger being appar-
entity over, the most OF the citizens return
ed TO their homes at Nicksburg, leaving
thirty men on guard under Capt. w. H.
Andrews
Later dispatches from Clinton state
that forty negroes were killed and many
wounded during the fight The whites
hold the town and the negroes are scat
tered in all directions
