Many who are suffering from the eff.
lects OF the warm weather end are debilitat-
ed, are advised by physicians to take uoder-
ate amounts OF whisky two or three times
during the day. In little while those who
adopt this advice frequently increase the
number OF "drinks,n and in time become
confirmed inebriates. beverage which will
not create thirst for Intoxicating liquors,
and which is intended especially for the len
eft OF debilitated persons, whether at home
or abroad, is Dr. Schenek's Sea Weed Tonic.
Containing the juices OF many medical herbs,
this preparation does not create an appetite
for the Intoxicating cup. The nourishing and
llie-supporting properties OF many valuable
natural productions contained in II and well
known to medical men have most strength
ening influence. A single bottle of the Tonic
will demonstrate its valuable qualities. For
debility arising from sickness, over exertion
or from any cause whatever, a wine glass full
OF See Weed Tonic taken after meals will
strengthen the stomach and create an appe-
tite for wholesome food. To all whoare about
leaving their homes, we desire TO say that the
excellent effects Of Dr. Schencks seasonable
remedies, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake
Pills, are particularly evident when taken by
those who are injuriously affected BY change
OF water and diet. No person should leave
home without taking q supply OF these safe
guards along. For sale by all Druggists.

Murder in Dunn County, Wisconsin.
On Friday last most unproyoked
and brutal murder was committed in the See
settlement near Menomonee, the murderer
being one Edward Jump, and his victim
Thomas Van Vert. The circumstances as
related by Jump himself, are as follows: A
colt belonging to jump had broken into Van
Wert's grain, and the latter caught it and
tied it in his shed, sending word to Jump
to GENE and pay charges and take it away.
Jump started Immediately, taking young
man with him and arming himself with
pitchtork. Arriving at Van Wert's place, he
found nobody at home, Van Vert and his
wife being in the meadow making hay. He
took the colt, put his companion on its back
and started for home Mrs Van Vert saw
them and informed her husband, who
jumped ON horse and started in hot pursuit
0vertaking them, he slid from his horse and
when Jump rushed up behind him and dealt
him a murderous blow with the fork on the
top of his head, crushing the skull and fell
ing him to the ground. Not satisfied with
this he continued to beat his victim with the
fork, iracturing the skull on the side also,
and otherwise badly iniuring him. Van
Vert was able to get up, and with Jumps as
sistance returned to his home, where he took
to his bed and died about y. M. OF the same
day, six or seven hours after the assault
Jump was arrested the same evening, and
after an examination was committed for trial
on a charge Of murder.

Another Iiypocrite.

John Reeves, for thirteen years an
employe in the Columbus, O., post-otice, his
service extending through the terms Of three
postmasters, has been arrested for opening
letters and abstracting money More than
six months ago losses in the mails were re-
ported 10y the Columbus office to the Depart
ment, and since that time the post-offce Off
cials have been engaged in patient, but diff
iicult, investigation. At last suspicion fell
on Reeves, and he was Swallowed and
watched through perforated walls and floors.
He adroitly avoided a great many decoys-
and although detected two or three times Of
late in opening letters, was not caught in the
act of abstracting money until the Goth
When charged with the crime, he confessed

tion. Reeves was an active member of the
Methodist church, the treasurer Of an odd
Fellows lodge, a Mason, and jealous tenn
peranee-worker, and he has been regarded
by the community as above suspicion.

Gen. Sherman wants More Troops.


Gen. Sherman and the secretary of
war were in attendance day before the house
committee on military affairs, in reference to
the senate hill before that committee for the
increase of the cavalry regiments for opera
tions against the Sioux. The general favor
ed the bill, and expressed the opinion that
the present force is able to whip the Indians
if the latter are kept together, but in case
they are separated the soldiers will be COM
PEELED to do the same, and there might oe
danger of some out detaehments being over
come by a superior force of Indians concen-
tTating against them. He then detailed the
strength of the army and the present situa-
ton OF the various regiments. In answer to
inquiry whether the troops could be spared
TO reinforce the army Of the Indian country,
Sherman said | am compelled to answer
that they cannot be spared. because those
who are entrusted with power judge their
presence there unnecessary. That decision
to me is sacred and final and governs me.
He said 81 think they are scattering now.
Crook and Terry are both extremely careful,
prudent, cautious men, and will not attack
these Indians in their position until they can
give them a tremendous whipping

upon the course which events may take
but weclnnot hide from ourreaders that the
situation is still very critical. As the
question Of the duration Of the armiStice
has not yet been settled, troops are being
moved from Alexinatz to Diunis, and q
general battle is daily expected. Russians
continue to arrive in great numbers at
Belgrade, and the German volunteers
there are organising q battery.
There is a very strong feeling in Paris in
reference to the Eastern Question. The
Rpulhque Francaise, N. Gambetta's organ,
entirely approves the speech made by
Lord Derby in replying to the Guildhall de-
putation and the attitude which his lord
ship took up on that occasion. The
Christians of the Greek Church find less
sympathy than might be expected amongst
the c~IericaIs Of the Roman Church. 1t
must not be presumed, however, that
the French are Indifferent to the crimes
otTurks or Christians. They only pause
to ask which istle best means of prevent
ing q renewal of such horrors. France has
joined the Powers now interested in the pro-
bIem. The French people do not forget
the immense sacrifices of men and money
obliged by the Crimean war, and they re-
member the provisions of the Treaty of
Paris, never put in practice. The r%epudia-
ton Of the loans has not done much towards
keeping alive a sympathy for the Turks,
while in some French circles the friendship
OF Russia is more appreciated than the in
tcgrity of the Ottoman Empire. The
Monitcur, referring to the diIatory and eva
sive answer of the Porte to the demands
of the Great Powers, says that it transcends
the most pessimist anticipations. Either
Turkey deliberately mocks at Eorope, or
She utterly misapprehends her own sltua-
ton. The French Chambers are expected
to re-assemblo at the end Of the month.
Tn French financial circles large amounts
OF capital are waiting investment, and the
moment all fears of European complication
are removed confidence will revive.

THE CENTRAL FACTORIES
IN ST. CROIX.
From the European Ma5L)

Much interest is taken here in the
scheme for establishing central sugar
factories in St. CroiX. The constitu-
ton, or rules, for the new company seems
all that can be desired to give security to
those investing in the undertaking.
, 1876-11-08

The London market for sugar is quiet,
but with firm prices, upon a par with
those last quoted. The supply at Liver
pool is moderate, with q pause in the
demand. Low and medium refining kinds
show a further advance of Sd. at Liver
pool. At Bristol common process Demo
.raras sell at 22S to 22s. Sd. per cwt. That
market is rather bare of West Indian
sorts. At Glasgow some West Indian sorts
have sold at an advance of Cd. The sales
Of Belgian beet at that port have been

to have aroused the Indignation OF this
country and that one OF the foremost
conditions for the settlement of the ques-

and their future security guaranteed.
Reparation, the Turkish Government IS
told, must be made to the Bulgarian suf-

must be signally punished, and every effort
made to restore public confidence. With

Effect Of Light.

Doctor Moore, the metaphysician,
thus speaks of the effect of light on the
body and mind: A tadpole confined Id
darkness would never become frog;
and an infant deprived of heavens free
light will only grow into a shapeless
idiot instead of beautiful and reasona-
bic being. Hence, in the deep, dark
gorges and ravines of the Swiss Valals,
where the direct sunshine never reaches,
the hideous prevalence of idiocy staitles
the traveller. It is strange, melancholy
idiocy. Many persons are incapable OF
articnlate speech; some are deaf, some
are blind, some labor under all these
privations, and all are misshapen IN al
most every part of the body. believe
there is in all places a marked difference
in the healthiness of houses according to
their aspect in regard to the sun, and
those are decidedly the healthiest, other
things being considered, in which all the

Something More Of Mystery.

Tie old French arms Investigation IS
now recalled by the evidence In the
Fort Sill case. There was mysterious
woman in that investigation, who ap-
peared to have made propositions 70
New York parties to procure contracts
for consideration. She professed the
power to secure anything she desired OF
the War department. There was great
deal of difficulty in finding the witness,
but finally woman came before the
committee and testified to general ana
unimportant affairs, and the impression
was created that some woman had az
tempted to get money from the New
York contractors under false pretenses,
and had really gained nothing. The
next year after the investig tigaion it be,
came the current belief that the real
woman in the case had been concealed:

The Romance Of a Ring.

Some time ago wealthy and attrac-
tive young gentleman of Washington
was engaged to be married to q beauti-
full belle OF Morgantown, West Virginia,
but a month ago the engagement was
broken off. OF course, her engagement
broken, the young lady quickly sent
back the ring, and the quickest way she
could think of was by mail; so by mail
it went-that is, it stated from Morgan
town, but never reached Washington.
The gentleman made 10 inquiries about
it, and might have gone on thinking
that his former fiancee was mercenary
to hold on to the magnificent ring. But
O few weeks ago one of the young ladys
friends saw the ring on the hand OF an
other lady. Investigation was at once
begun, and traced the ring to clerk in
the Fairmont post Office, who, it is al
legged, had stolen it from the mail, loan
ed it to gentleman friend in Manning
ton, West Virginia, who had made it do
duty as an engagement ring for his II.
aneee in Morgantown The Falrmont
post Office clerk was arrested by govern
ment officials, and will be tried in the
United States district court at Parkers-
burg. :,
To the trial of the post-ofice clerk
will probably be summoned the young
lady who "sent back" the ring, and
possibly all parties connected with it,
including the Washington gentleman
and his fiancee.
