very noticeably improved" and remod-
eled during the past season. The new
school building is completed, and the

moved from its side, il now presents an
impo'ing appearance. Sam Ream's
fine, new brick residence is also about

of the town in equal degree before an
other year rolls around.

Of Lords within the last six years have
committed suicide. Lord Walsingham
Lord Delaware, and more lately Lord
Ribblesdale. The last, Lord Russell's
son-in-law, aged AZ, was known as dis
sipsted man. Lord Delaware destroyed
himself in fit of love.mslancholy, but
Lord Walsingham's selfdestruction re-
mains one Of the most mysterious of its
kind. Within q month after the Prince
Of Wales had paid him visit at his
seat in Norfolk, Lord Walsingham,
without any known reason for the act
destroyed himself.

most efficacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure
Its ingredients are SO skilfully
combined that the full Alternative
effect of each is assured, and while
it is so mild as to be harmless even
to children, it is still so effectual as
to purge out from the system those

develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence

Sitting Bull Again.

ST.. LOUIS, October 1.-THE steam
boat Jno. NJ. Chambers, Capt Labarge,
which left St. Louis with military sup
plies for the Yellowstone last August,
arrived here from the Upper Missouri
last night, being the first arrival. Cap
tain Labarge had an interview with
Kill Eagle, one of Sitting Bulls chief
warriors at Standing Rock agency. Kill
Eagle claimed that General Custer
could have esceped had he seen it to
abandon his men; that the Indians, who
always loved the long-haired warrior,
would have permitted him to escape
He intimated that General Reno could
have prevented the fight had he been
heeter Of foot.
He also saEs that Sitting Bull was not
in the fight, but in the council tent
Captain Labarge denies the report that
Sitting Bull has white blood in his
veins. He says be Is full-blooded In
dian, insignificant in figure and a Grip
pie, but with q fine head. He considers
Sitting Bull the foremost warrior Of the
day, and says the army officers endorse
his opinion. He states that Sitting Bull
is in camp at the head waters Of the lit
lie Missouri, with the main body Of the
hostile Sioux. As soon as they receiv
ed word that the campaign against them
had been abandoned, they decided TO re-
main on American soil and not claim
British protection. Friendly Indians
will supply them with provisions, and
they will make raids into the Black
Hills country, close to their camp, when
their provisions are exhausted.
