The symptoms Of Liver Complaint are
uncasincss and pain i'll the side. Some
times the pain is i'll the shoulder, and is
mistaken for rheumatism. The stomach
is affected with loss of appetite and sick
mess, bowels in general costivc, and
sometimes alternating with lax. The
head is troubled with pain, and dull,
heavy sensation, considerable loss of
memory, accompanied with painful sem
sation of having left undonc something
which ought to have been done. Often
complaining of weakness, debility and
low spirits. Sometimes many of the
above symptoms attend the disense, and
Mt other times, very few Of them; but the
Liver is generally the organ most in

never pausing until she reached the shelter Of
clump of trees, in the deep shade of which
she stopped for few moments to rest. Look
ing back, she could see the ravages the lire
was making on one side of the house. A great
portion of the shed had fallen in, exposing
the blackened rafters, and the little room of
the kitchen seemed to be entirely destroyed.
In the light of the flames she could discern
black figures fitting distractedly about; Ra-
phael and his sister, and one or two others,
probably some acquaintances, who had come
to their aid in trying to suppress the contia'
grafton. .
After waiting long enough to recover
breath and composure, she proceeded on her
way, not quite as rapidly as at first, lest she
should too soon exhaust her strength. She
crossed the field she had entered, and climb.
ing the fence, found herself in little path
leading to wood, which looked dark and
gloomy enough to terrify her, but she could
see no other way of proceeding. She went on,
with trembling limbs and beating heart,
and an unspoken prayer for protection and
help. The peril Of this darksome wood, peo-
pied as it seemed to her Imagination, with
weird moving shapes and fantastic shadows,
appeared scarcely less than that from which
she had been delivered. Her nerves, always
excitable and weak, were scarcely equal to the
strain upon them, and she felt ready to faint.
The moonlight, penetrating through the en-.
twining foliage, cast ghostly, uncertain ra'
dance upon her path. Dismal stories she
had heard or read in her childhood, of haunt
ed woods, and supernatural beings who visited
the earth at midnight, crowded upon her
memory. As long as she could, she combated
her fears, but they proved at last too strong
for endurance, and over.powered by mingled
fatigue and intense excitement, she sank faint
ing upon the ground.

A MALTHUs1AN CALCULATIoN.-Ane eco
nomic journal enters into curious calcula-
ton as to the actual cost, in dollars and cents,
which man or woman would be to the world
and society by the time he or she got old
enough to "pay expenses" or return back to
the country what thus far has been expended
in rearing the population.
Every baby, it is fair to assume, when prop
erly brought up, costs its parents at least fifty
dollars year. an expense which increases
largely as food, clothing, the shelter of a
warm home, education, and spending money,
are required for the growing child. The &C.
tual cost up to the fifteenth year, of each child
in this republic, is certainly not less than a
thousand dollars. At that age its labor would
be worth its subsistence. Not till it reaches
the age of eighteen (and great many not
even then,) does it really Legir to be produc-
tive. For every 100000 children, the nation
has to produce six or eight millions of dollars,
consumed without adding at all to production.
To rear that number Of children to produc.
tive age certainly costs hundred millions of
dollars without any profit, whatever, in re-
turn. Herein is the great value of immlgrra'
ton. This great republic receives into its
broad and glorious bosom every day not less
than one thousand emigrants from the old
world Of course wo.thirds, perhaps seven
eghts, are adults, already grown for US by
Europe, at her cost, up to the productive
point, when they come to our shores to give
us the benefit of their toll. Annually does
Europe labor industriously to produce and
raise for our republic, free of cost, more than
100000 persons, who we could not have fur
nished ourselves at an expense of $500, 100000,
No wonder that We grow rich and prosper,
for the loss of the world Is our gain, and all
1,..>ptries are nursing mothers for US.

BREAKS JAIL.--A dispatch was re.
ceived by Sheriff Shearer yesterday
forenoon stating that during the night
previous Kelly, alias Mickey Mike,
and another convict named Merritt,
escaped from the penitentiary at
Anamosa, stole two young horses
and travelled south. Two hundred
dollars reward is offered for the men
and fifty dollars for the horses.
1t was only the day before, Tues
day afternoon, that the Sheriff was
at the penitentiary, whittier he went
to commit Ryan, Reed and Mason.
He saw Mickey and learned that only
a short time ago he had been dis
ciplined for notwithstanding
"laid down the shovel and the hoe"
and sworn he wasn't going to do any
more work in that - institution.
At the time of tho Sheriff's visit,
however, he had gone to work again
and seemed docile enough veil no
doubt to the escape SO soon after
perpetrated. We hope Mickey may
be recaptured; but the man who
overhauls him, after he has visited
some of his many friends and been
armed for the fray, doesn't want to
begin the interview by a discussion.
1t will be most safe to take "the
Drop on Mickey; and even should
such proceeding drop him out Of
existence, it will not be the hardest
thing in the world to reconcile this
community to the result.

The SENrENcEs.--A session of
Court was held Monday morning for
the purpose of passing sentence up
on those convicted of crimes against
the State. In the case Of ohm Ryan,
Judge Rothrock overruled the mo-
ton of new trial, stating that the
evidence left little doubt IS to the
preparation of the deed, but that it
was evidently not premeditated and
had the verdict been that of man
slaughter it would not have been
amiss. Ryan then stood up and re-
ceived sentence to be confined in the
penitentiary at hard labor for eight
years.
S. V. Landt, Of counsel for Charles
Reed and John Mason, convicted of
burglary, then introduced the afida-
Wit of Mt. Pleasant hotel-keeper in
support OF his previously hled motion
for new trial. It vas claimed by
the defence that the new testimony
invalidated some of the strongest
points for the State; and = very
earnest and able argument in the pre-
misses was made by Mr.. Landt and
replied to by the District Attorney.
The motion was, however, overruled
by the court, and the prisoners called
up for sentence. The Judge told
the young men that he had finally
concluded that they were compare
lively beginners in crime, and should
therefore only adjudge them a con-
fnement of three years each in the
Anamosa penitentiary.
