There has been a growing suspicion
here that the four young Cincinnatians,
whose bodies were recovered from the
river, and who were supposed to have
been run over in a skiff by a tow-boat,
were the victims Of foul play. The
budies, when recovered, were found to
he horribly mangled about the face in

The Multiplication of Diseases.

Diseases multiply. One begets another.
A triaing indisposition may, therefore, origi-
nate complication of dangerous .maladies.
Indigestion begets far more formidable dis
eases; multitude Of ailments are traceable
to constipatioD; fever and ague unh!1ges
the entire nervous system, and is, therefore,
the source of the protean ailments which af-
feet that portion of the human organism.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, however, wheth-
er resorted to at the inception of those disor-
ders of the stomach, bowels or liver, which
give birth to the majority of diseases and dis.
abilities, or taken when they have ripened
into formidable maturity, are alike powerful
to cure. The process of recovery is, of course,
longer when the malady has gained head
way, but it is none the less certain. Dyspep-
sia, constipation, biliousness, kidney COM
plants and intermittent fever, invariably
yield to the operation Of the great alternative
and invigorant. 33-of.

The merchant who advertises may be

John Robinson, of wild animal fame,
is working his way South. His show

have money to spare will see it. Our
devil says that whether they have the
money to spare or not, they will see it.

SAD AFF11cr1oN.--In our last issue
we noticed the death Of Mr.. Drayton
Chandler's child from Diptheria. On
Saturday last, another interesting little
child was laid beside the first, and while
the father was still at the grave Of this
one he was hastily summoned home to
catch the last and dying whisper OF his
oldest daughter, Emma. All three died
Of Diptheria and within one week.
This is the saddest dispeasation which
has been experienced in this County IN
years, and deeply do we sympath'se
with the bereaved parents. One other,
and the only child left, lies dangerously
i'll of the same fatal disease.

a box was received a6 tttlS OnR.o d
few days ago, weighing ten pounds
upon which the freight from Columbis
to Newberrg was the extraordinary low
sum of four cents. 1t came from New
York. We were startled out Of the
usual equanimity of editorial life. "Four
centsm 'Yes," said the drayman; ''but
not having the requisite change I had
to hand the freight agent a whole
nickle." "Well, and what is the dray-
sge?" asked we, "Only ten cents" 1t
was out of proportion-four cents for
forty-seven miles by rail, and ten cents
for q quarter of a mile by mule. Well,
we paid it, and lost one cent by the
drsyman not having change. We
thought it was all, till the collecting
agent of the Wilmington road brought
in his bill fer seven cents-this was from
New York to Columbia. It was right,
no doubt, but so much under the usual
tariff that it was no wonder we were
thrown out of balance. Eleven cents
from New York on 10 lbs. Of freight
may well be compared with the Express
charge Of S. per hundred. Commend
Us to Express Co.'s by all means.
BEwnDER1NG.-The visitor to the
store of Messrs. Perry & Slawson is in
danger of having his wits 60 on a wool
gathering expedition, so extensive is
the display of stock which fill counters,
shelves and show cases, in segars, to-
Ibacco, pipes, canes and a hundred other
fancies: for gentlemen, and these are
not all the causes which are calculated
to lead to a slight wandering of the
fancy, as the entire arrangement and
design of the store is in the most elab-
crate style of art. It is decidedly one
of the neatest and most perfectly I'm
ished stores in the city of Columbis.
Should the visitor be affected, we gladly
state that an antidote can be at once had
in any of the numerous choice brands of
their segsrs, a few puffs from one OF
which will Immediately restore him
to his former condition, the reaction of
which will be so pleasant that an in
yestment will be at once made in a
| whole box. These gentlemen do be-
| sides a large wholesale business, and
the trade are invited to send orders.

Growth of the West.

OF the extent to which sectional
strength in Congress has been changed
within the last twenty years, the fol-
lowing returns will bear witness: In
1854 the members of the Senate from
New England and the Middle States
comprised more than one-third of the
whole number; in 1874 they comprised
less than One-fourth. In 1874 the House
was made up of 76 members from the
South, SO from the West, and SO from
the Middle States and New England;
total, PA. In 1874 the House was made
I'D of Sc from the South, 104 from the
West, and 102 from the Middle States
and New England; total, 202. The
Western States have nearly doubled
their membership; the New England
States have lost one member, and the
Middle States have gained four. the
South Counting West Virginia as
Southern State) has gained ten men,
bers. If Colorado and New Mexico
should be admitted as States, the rela-
tive strength of the West, especially in
the Senate, will be still further in-
creased. The ruling power Of the
country is thus passing away from the
'old thirteen and their near neighbOrs,
and is being absorbed by the moro rap
idly growing population OF the West.
But this change Involves no more dam
ger of sectional legislation than exist
ed when New England and the Middle
States held the ruling power. 1t may
be expected, however, to Somewhst
influence the general drift of legisla-
Ledger.

TILTON AND BEECHER.
Not Representatives of the Christian Religion.

The United Presbyterian devotes a
column, editorially, to the discussion
of the Tifton-Beecher trial. The ground
taken is, that, much as the enemies of
true religion desire to have it so, Chris
tianity is not on trial. although it is
great humiliation to christendom that
men, prominent in its ranks, should be
involved in such a scandal The edi-
tors estimate OF the principal parties to
the great trial, is in these words:
Theodore Tilton was placed for
time in the editorial chair of what
many regarded as the leading religious
paper of the country. In some respects
he filled it ably. On subjects which he
understood and with which he was in
sympathy, he wrote vigorously and ele-
gantly. But it was sadly evident to all
intelligent Christians that he did not
understand the theology or religion or
morality of the Bible. His unfitness
for such position has only been made
more manifest by the revelations of his
character since. He never was a true
representative of Christianity and no
fair mind will hold it in any way re-
sponsible for his shame. That he was
restrained for time in his alterations
from truth and virtue, under a mere
nominal profession of Christianity,
should rather prove its essential excel
lence and salutary power.
AS to Henry Ward Beecher we still
cling to the hope that he will be able
to clear himself of the gross offense
with which he is charged. The OPEN
ing of his defense encourages us in this.
But however his case may issue, we
are not willing, and never have been,
to regard him as entitled to the prom
inence he has had as representative
Christian preacher. Brilliant and elo-
quent he certainly is; but his views of
Christian truth and duty, as given in
many of his published sermons, have
appeared to US of very low and loose
order. His readiness to fraternize with
the semi-infidelity of Universalists and
Unitarions, to pander to the desires of
those who would make the Sabbath a
day of mere worldly amusement, and
to serve free lovers as i'm the Richard
Mcfarland marriage, all indicate
that his Christianity has been running
on a very low level.
