THE people of Ohio will recall the
shooting of Bollmeyer, al Dayton, OHIO
in 1862. Mr.. b. was the editor of the
Dayton Empire, and MS a man of con-
victions had made himself obnoxious TO
Republicans. The war was raging and
political excitement was high. While IN
market one morning, Mr.. Bollmeyer be-
came involved in an alteration with
man named Brown, a rabid Republican L.
Brown drew pistol and shot Bollmeyer
dead. 1t was political murder, and
jury acquitted Brown because
he had killed Demo-
crat. At the time of the killing Brown
WAS successful merchant. He never
saw "a happy day stterward. Remorse
followed him. The ghost of the murder
ed man pursued him like an svenging
Nemesis. He broke up in business, and
his party friends soon learned to shun
and detesI him. He became drunkard,
and for wears led the life of un outcast,
Yesterday he was found dead in corn
field near Dayton. Thus ended life OF
bitterness and anguish, and thus IN neg
lect and scorn perished cruel, hesrtless
murderer. Enquirer. ...

DEAR SIR:--It may be some satisfac-
ton to you to be informed of the result
of the trial of the Peruvian Syrup in my
family. My daughter was brought low
by typoid fever last Spring. and after the
fever lett her she continued very weak,
and the simplest food distressed her.
For months she remained in the same
debilitated condition; but from the frst
of September last. when she commenced
taking the Syrup, the digestive functions
improved, and she steadily gained
strength and vivacity; and now. after
taking two bottles. she is restored to a
good state of health; indeed, she appears
more really healthy than she has for
several years past. am of opinion that
the "Protoxide of Iron" contained i'll
the Peruvian Syrup. was adapted to her
case. and effected what no other known
medicine could have effected.
Yours truly. S. COBB.

Not word came in reply.
"Good morning." said he, again, in q

have heard him before.
"Um-'m-'m," was all that escaped
from her sealed lips, as she kept on with
the work.
