The Public Confidence Wen PLACED.

Although the world has been seeking speci-
fics for disease for many centuries, few indeed
have been found. Prominent among these few
is Hostetters Stomach Bitters, which years ago
received the endorsement of the medical pro-
fession, and was hailed by press and public as
the great renovant and preventive of the age.
And with good reason, since to the weakened
stomach it gives strength to the torpid liver ac-
tivity, to the disordered bowels regularity, and
to the shaken nervous system firmness and
tone. Under its benignant influence healthful
vigor returns to the debilitated and wasted
frame, the faecid muscles become compact the
wan aspect of i'll health is replaced by a look of
cheerfulness, the mind ceases to despond, and
flesh is developed upon the attenuated frame
There is no exaggeration in this statement. 1t
is as true that the system is subject to dis
ease. Were proofs required to substantiate the
reality of the comprehensive effects of the Bit
tiers, there is probably not in existence medi-
cine in favor of which such a mass of concur
rent testimony, from the most respectable sour
ces, could be adduced. But the efficacy of the
nations Alternative and invlgorant has been
matter of universal knowledge too long to need
any such corroboration. The fact that it has its
largest sales in those portions of the North and
South American Continents, Mexico, and the
West Indies in which atmospheric influences
prejudicial to health exists, proves what conf
dence is felt in its remedial and protective vir-
tues. In localities where fevers of an intermit-
tent type prevail, especially, it has come to be
as an indispensable necessity. jyl-lm

they had crossed branch. When they
had got to the road, near the place where
Jenkins had seen the three men, the
tracks of three horses were found, and
traced through Berlin, up near to Wells
ton, and then down to Plummer's, where
horses were found with shoes correspond
ing with the tracks. One of the horses
had his withers and shoulders very grea-
sy. A greasy saddle and greasy sack
were found on the premises. Guards
were put out, and one of them, Stephen
Markham, saw Robert Plummer cross
the field and go up into piece of woods,
into hollow. Some time afterwards
Plummer came up the road in another
direction, with one of his brothers. Mark
ham then went up the hollow where he
he had seen Plummer go. and found
greasy pocket-knife lying on the ground,
and pretty soon found three sides of ba-
con, which had recently been split
through the middle to the rind, and
doubled back, and concealed under
some brush. The bacon was identified
as Scurlock's. There were various other
circumstances tending to show the guilt
of the parties.

We never take much stock in sensa-
tional stories. We have heard two or
three such within the past few days.
One is, that some men saw huge snake
on the farm of Am. Scott Esq, east of
town. 1t was about the size of a lamp
post, held its head four feet high, and
made track like log had been dragged
through the grass and mud.
Then it is said that a strange thing
was plowed up in the field of Mr.. Schel-
lenger, in Franklin township, and the
same kind of an insect on the farm of
Mr.. McClung, two miles southwest of
town. 1t had a head, and large
round body. and tail 1t moved very
slowly. On examination it was found to
be composed of ofinnumerable small snakes,
or worms, each with separate existence
When torn apart. they exhibited consid-
cradle activity. and at once came togeth-
er again, in the same shape.
Let us hear from Mr.. Schellenger and
Mr.. McClung. They are both men of
undoubted veracity.

Is the most complicated of all disorders, and
the most variable in its symptoms. Pain in the
stomach, heartburn, cold extremities, fiatulence
constipation of the bowels, low spirits, capri
cious appetite, are all in turn the offspring of
this disease, With it is often associated feeble
action of the liver, and it frequently leads to
serious attacks of fever with fatal results. The
unfailing remedy for this disease in all its
stages is DACOSTA'S1 RADICAL CURE. 1t
regulates the liver, expels all morbid humors
from the system, and acts as a gentle tonic.

James Blakely, an Athens county
tramp, had an examination before Mayor
Laird on Monday, on charge of assault
with intent to commit rape upon Sabina
Heath She is girl fourteen years of
age, daughter of Edward Heath, who
resides a few miles east of town. She
testified that on Saturday morning last
defendant came along the road in front
of her fathers house and inquired if her
mother was at home. He then inquired
if her father was at home. Learning
that neither was at home, he told the
girl he wanted her to come and tie a
string for him. She started towards him,
and getting within some 6 to 8 feet of
him, she discovered an indecent expo
sure of his person, when she turned to
run from him. He grabbed at her. but
he did not attempt to follow her. or to
cross low fence which was between
them
The Mayor said that a case was not
made out upon the affidavit, and the de-
fendant was discharged. He was imme-
diately arrested for indecent exposure of
his person, and had an examination.
The testimony sh owed that just before
he came to Mr.. Heath's, he passed the
houses OF Mrs. Hutchinson and Mrs.
Kelly, and was guilty of indecent and
lascivious conduct in the presence of
these women. There was a good deal of
testimony unfit for publication. After
the case was argued by J. L. Jones for
the State, and A. J. Dever and John c.
Stevenson for the defense, the Mayor
held defendant to answer before the
Probate Court in the sum of 500. De-
fendant then withdrew his plea of not
guilty, and end entered plea of guilty,
and was sentenced to be confined in the
dungeon of the county Jail for five days,
to be fed on bread and water only, and
to pay fine of five dollars and costs, and
to stand committed until the fine and
costs be fully paid.

control them. The testimony of our best citf-
zens, of all classes, establishes the fact, that
CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases of Consumption,
cured by this preparation, are publicly known,
so remarkable as hardly to be believed, were
they not proven beyond dispute. As a remedy,
it is adequate, on which the public may rely
for full protection. By curing Coughs. the
forerunners of more serious disease, it saves un-
to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptical. Every family should
keep it on hand as protection against the early
and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Affec-
tions, which are easily met at first but which
become incurable, and too often fatal, if neg
lected. Tender lungs need this defence; and it
is unwise to be without it. As safeguard TO
children, amid the distressing diseases which
beset the Throat and Chest of childhood, CHERRY
PICTORIAL is invaluable; for, by its timely use,
multitudes are rescued from premature graves
and saved to the love and affection centred on
them. 1t acts speedily and surely against ordi-
nary colds, securing sound and health-restoring
sleep. No one will suffer troublesome Influ.
enza and painful Bronchitis, when they know
how easily they can be cured.
Originally the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation no cost or toll
is spared in making every bottle in the utmost
possible perfection. 1t may be confidently relied

exhibited, and capable of producing cures as
memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.
