The Best Evidence.

The following letter from Rev. L. S. BEST,
pastor NJ. +. ihurCh, NatiCk, Mass, VIII be
read with interest by many physicians Also
those suffering from the same disease as afhict-
ed the son OF the Rev. f. s. Best No person
can doubt this testimony, and there Is no doubt
about the curative powers OF FEGETINE:
NATICK, MASS, Jan. 4, 1874.
H. X. STEvENs:
Dear Strive have good T ason for regarding
your VEGETINE a medicine Of the greatest
value. We feel assured that it has been the
means Of saving our sons life. He is now sew
enteen years Of age for the last two years he has
suffered from necrosis Of bis leg, caused By
scrOfulOus affection, and was 50 far reduced that
nearly ali who saw him thought his recovery
impossible. A council Of able physicians could
give US but the faintest hope Of his ever rally
ing, two Of the number declaring that he was
beyOnd the reach Of human remedies, that even
amputatiOn could not save him. as ne bad not
vigOr enough to endure the OpeSation, Just then
we commenced giving him VEGEI1NE, and
from that time 10 the present ne has been con
tinuallv improving. He has lately resumed MS
studies thrown away crutches and cane ard
walks about cheerfully and strong.
Tbourh there is still some discharge from the
openfng where the limb was lanced, We have
the fullest confidence that in little time he
viii be perfectly cured. 80 -.
He has tazen about three dozen bottles OF
VFGFTTNE, but lately uses but little, as he de-
clares that he Is too well to be taking medicine.

ALL OVER THE CITY.

There will be preaching at Temperance
Hall, South Nashville tonight by Rev. ].
r. Berry, and services every evening this
week beginning at "a O'Clock.
John w. Edwards, Water Tax Collector,
yesterday issued 400 warrants for de-
linquent water tax payers, and win place
them in the hands Of an officer this morn
ing,
The Cumberland rose three and half
feet at this place during the "a hours end
ing at 8 P. NJ. yesterday, and was 335 feet
above low water mark. 1t was continuing
to rise, but not rapidly.
The Governor yesterday commissioned
Judge I. W. TUrley, Of Franklin, Special
Judge to hold the Circuit Court in Giles
and Lawrence counties, Judge Martin hav-
ing signiied his inability 10 hold it on &C
count Of sickness.
We are indebted to DuckwOrth for a
copy Of Huish's "oeorge the Fourth. full
Of Tacy passages from his private and public
life. The work first appeared in 1880, soon
after the monarch's death, and made such
a sensation that the British Government
caused it to be suppressed.
Let the public remember the Irish pan
Drama and comedy at Masonic Hall to-
night. A "Trip Throu' the Ould SOD" is
the title Of the comedy to be presented.
The leading role viii be taken by Dan
Morris, who is relied upon as the principal
''card" in the deck. He keeps the audi
enee in the merriest possible humor from
the time he appears till the close.
The DAYS DOiRgS has the following
paragraph over a clipping: "a correspond
ent has sent us an account Of an Anti-Pro-
family Society recently established in Nash
vile, Tenn, and portrait Of the president
said to be the wickedest man in Nash
ville-with the request that we reproduce
the same. We are sorry that We cannot
oblige our Nashville friend, particularly so
because the mar does look very wicked, IN
deed, and we have areserved opinion about
meeting him in the woods at midnight.
But our space is too valuable Just now, and
we are too busy with other wicked men to
give the president q chance" So a practi-
cal joke has failed. That picture would
have been recognized in Nashville, but not
as the image Of the president Of the Anti
Profanity Society.

Ihe Tired BOW Sues % Sleep.

II. R. STEVENS, ESQ:
Dear Sn-it is as much from a sense OF duty
as Of gratitude that / write to on 70 say that
your VEGETINE-even If il is patent medi-
cine-hss been OF great help 70 me when nothing
else seemed to avail which ] could safely use.
Either excessive mental work OF dnusual care
brings upon me a nervous exhaustion that des-
peratsly needs sleep, but as desperately detes it.
Night after night the poor tired body sues for
sleep until the day-daWn Is welcomed back, and
we begin our work tired out with an almost
fruitlesS chase after rest. Now 1 have found
that a little NEGETTNE, taken Just before I
retire, gives me sweet and immediate sleep, and
without any Of the evil effects OF the usual mar
cOtics 1 think two things would tenC 20 make
Second. A little more VEGETINE. This pre-
scriptiOn has helped me.
Now 1 have a particular horror Of patent
afraid to tell the straight out truth. The VEG
ETINE has helped me, and own it up
Yours. etc J. s. DICKERSON.

Three Points for Consideration.

During the past five years the YEGETINE
has been steadily working itself into public
favor, and those who were at first most incredu-
l0us in regard 70 its merit, are now its most ar
dent friends and supporters.
There are three essential causes for those hav-
ing such q horror OF patent medicin- : changing
their opinion and lending their inf uence toward
the advancement Of VEGETINE. First. 1t is
an honestly prepared medicine from barks,
roots and herbs Second. It honestly accom-
plishes all that is claimed for il, without leaving
any bad effects in the system Third. It pre-
sents honest vouchers in testimonials from hon
est, we'll known citizens, whose signatures are
a sufficient guarantee Of their earnestness In the
matter. Taking into consideration the vast
Qual tity IF medicine brought COnspicuOusiy
before ne public through the flaming adver-
tisements in the newspaper columns, with no
proof Of merit or genuine vouchers OF what IL
has done, we should be pardOned for manifest
ing a small degree Of pride in presenting the
following testimonial from Rey. j. $ DECKER
son, ID. ID the popular an0ever- genial pastor

BURNING BASIN OF MAUNA LOAs

Miss Bird has been recently travelling in
the Sandwich Islands, and describes with
great force some of the wonders she wit
messed. In Hawaii, the object Of most ab-
sorbing interest is, as many are aware, the
burning mountain of Mauna Loa, the largest
active volcano in the world. Miss Bird
went through some not altogether pleasant
experiences in order to see this extraordin-
ary phenomenon, but was rewarded by wit
Messing the Kilauea crater under especially
favorable conditions While confessing her
utter inability to reproduce what she saw,
she nevertheless attemps it, and her descrip-
ton is exceedingly vivid.
The crater, We are told, is one huge pit
in the flank of the Mauna Loa Mountain,
500 feet wide at its narrowest part nearly
half o mile at its broadest Within this
abyss, boils and seethes, and throbs and
roars, vast sea of lava, surging against the
rocky barrier which surrounds it with
sound like an angry ocean breaking upon
an iron-bound coast From the centre Of
the lake, ever and anon leap up crimson
fountains Of angry fame, whose fiery eful-
gence dyes the heavens blood-red. The
whole spectacle is one of indescribabls
force, commotion. terror, glory, and myste-
~, not unn,ingled with an awful and i'm
posing beauty.
