ASK THE MoTHERs.-Women have
better opportunities for observing the
effects of medicine than men. This
is especially true of mothers, who
note with a keenness born OF affec-
tion, the operation OF the remedies
they administer to their children.
Now ask any mother who has used
Hale's Honey of HorehJund and
Tar in her family as a cure for coughs

The following dispatch was sent by
Lieut.. General Sheridan to Secretary
Belknap tonight: 1t is with deep
regret that have to announce to you
the existence in this ate of spirit
of defiance to ali lawful authority, and
an insecurity of life which is hardly
realized by the general government or
the country at large. The lives of
citizens have become so Jeopardized
that unless something is done TO give
protection to the people, all the secur-
ity usually afforded by law will be
oyer-ridden. Defiance to the laws and
the murder OF individuals seems to be
looked upon by the community here
from standpoint which gives inpI-
nifty to all who choose to indulge in
either, and the civil government seems
to be powerless to pUrnish or even
arrest. have tonight assumed con-

alert tn practise economy in the culi-

be done more effectually than in the
use of a Baking Powder which COM
bines purity, strength and reliability.
Douley's Yeast Powder has attained
the deserved reputation of being eco
pomical, convenient and Wholesome,
besides which il will produce from a
barrel of -four twenty-five to forty
pounds more bread, rolls, &C., than
