SHE HoRsEwHIPPED HIM.
An Incident of st. Valentines Day in Ken
dali County.

NEWARK, ILL.,, Feb. 2I.-The quiet
serenity of this little burg has been en-
tirely upset, during the past week, by
horse whipping sensation, the circrm-
stances OF which are about as follows:
During the past summer and fall Mr..
Butterfeld, OF this town, assisted by his
wife, has supplied the people with sewing
machines, organs, etc. At his shop he
also kept and repaired harness, in which
department oil business he was assisted by
Il Mr.. Woodyil.e. Though Mr. Butterfield
was absent from home considerable of the
time, it does not appear that any very
yh'lent attachment sprung up between
Woodville and his wife On the contrary.
Mrs. B. aud the hired man got each othe r
cut and started harness shop for himself
Not content, however, with being sepa
rated, Mr.. Woodvil!e and Mrs. Butterfeld
had to send each other a valentine on the
l4th OF February, which missives were not
IN the least complimentary TO each other.
Both would have stood the shock they en-
dured IN opening their valentines had not
Voodvllie been so inaiscrect as to put In

last straw tha, brnke the camel's back.
Mrs. Butterfed allowed this gross Insult
to her dignity to rankle in her breast for
few days, when she brought the affair to
termination last Friday by arming herse
with IA strong whip, announcing to hel
| friends thai she was goiug to whip WOOD
vile, and if they wanted to see the atfa
through to come on. Proceeding to hi

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Questions for Every One to Answer.

Are YOU troubled with Indigestion,
Constipation of the Bowels, Dyspepsia,
or any disease of the Liver? Have you
suffered for years and found no relief
from the Use of medicines? Do you have
a faint appetite, and are you troubled
with feelings of languor? If you have
these feelings we know you have not
tried the new discovery MERRELL'S
HEPATINE, at SIMPSON q SADLER's
Drug Store. 1t is performing wonderful
cures in this and all other communities
where the people useit. tits pronounced
by all as the best Liver Medicine in the
world. Two doses will relieve the worst
case of Dyspepsia or Constipation of the
Bowels. Each bottle contains fifty doses,
and a teaspoonful of this medicine in
wineglassful of water three times day
for one day, produces most wonderful
change. Where the system is run down
with loss of energy and appetite, or Dys-
pepsia, with all its train Of evil, is effect
ing its deadly work, this remedy, MER-
RELLS HEPATINE, never fails to
bring about speedy and permanent cure:
Those who doubt the merit and virtues OF
this medicine and live from day to day
without trying the HEPATINE, have our
sympathy, but cannot be cured unless
they take the Medicine.

On A MISSION OF PEAcE.--Judge
Cooke and Solicitor Blythe were here on
Thursday night to investigate their con-
stituents on the bar question. 1t is said
that Judge Cooke has pride in his cir
cult, and is anxious that it should have
credit for being as peaceable as any cir
cult in the State and to promote that
end came here and lectured the colored
brethren and their leaders soundly for
their obstreperous conduct on the Friday
previous. We learn that the Judge is q
peace man, and has instructed the trial
Justices here that it was their duty to
command the peace; that they were not
appointed to Office for party purposes,
but to promote the public good, irrcspec-
tive of race or political creed. We learn
that the Judge instructed the trial justi-
ces here to bind over to court any man
who might make an incendiary speech,
and said that any one that delivered such
speech, if proof could be obtained, should
be arrested He was also very emphatic
in his denunciation of the distribution OF
cartridges to the bearers of Chamberlain's
bayonets. Trial Justice Bruce denied
having furnished the four thousand
rounds of ammunition to the blacks. 1t
is thought the visit of the Judge and
Solicitor will promote the public peace.

THE TOWN ELECTION.

The election of Town Council to serve
the ensuing year in the town of Anderson
passed off on last Monday without develop
ing much interest All the candidates were
elected, and hence both parties profess to be
satisfied with the result, though it is in
reality 4 Democratic triumph. Neither
party nominated by convention, but the
Democrats ran VIM. McGukin for Inten-
dant, with n. K. Sullivan and W. F. Barr
for Wardens, as ticket nominated by indi-
viduals over the signature of Democrat"
and under the heading of Democratic
Ticket" The Republicans made no public
nominations, but considered the propriety
of making fight over the lnten'
.dant's position up to Monday morning.
when they abandoned the idea of running
their man and settled down on John Nc
Grath and John R. Cochran for the War
dens. Under the system Aof cumulative
voting the election resulted as follows:
For bteadant- VIM. McGukin, 1888 votes.
For Rardcns-Iohn McGrath, 800; n. K.
Sullivan, 293; John R. Cochran, 2SS; W..
f. Barr, 276.
After the election the bar-rooms were
5opened, and there was considerable confu-
sion and drinking, especially among the
colored people. The town authorities did
not preserve order, but allowed the dis
turbance to continue unmolested, to the
terror of the ladies and children living near
the north eastern corner OF the square. Pts
tolls were fired by parties who were not
arrested, and loud cursing allowed. 1t is to
be hoped such occurrences will beprevented
in the future. 80

RELIGIOUS REVIVAL AT TowNv1LLE.

TowNvILLE, Aug. 13, 1876.
MEssRs. EDITORS 4 religious revival of
uncommon interest has been in progress at
the Baptist Church at this place for the last
ten days, and came to close to-day. Rev.
E. l.. Sisk, the pastor of the Church, assist
cd part of the time by Rev. Mr.. McGuflin,
of Oconcc, have laborcd very earnestly with
the people, and their efforts have been
crowned with measure of success rarely
witnessed in this part of the country.
Fifty-one converts have been received into
the Church, and many more are expected
to Join when the meetings are resumed.
Failing to receive ministerial aid from
abroad, and his own physical powers being
exhausted, Mr. Sisk was obliged to bring
the meeting to close, though the interest
manifested in the cause has increased daily
from the beginning until its close to-day
At o'clock this morlfing large con-
course of people assembled at the baptistry
to witness the solemn and impressive ordi-
nance of baptism administered. The bap-
tistry is located about half Il mile from the
Church, on q beautiful clear stream, run
ming through stately grove of oak, poplar
and maple; the earth is carpctcd with moss
and wild grass, the trees festooncd with
vines and crcepers, making it most charm
ing spot, entirely in keeping with the solemn
rites to which it has been piously dedicated.
After singing an appropriate hymn by the
congregation, followed by a short prayer by
the pastor, forty-siX persons event down
into water" and were "buricd with Christ
in baptism" When "they came up out of
the water" the congregation, supposed to
number five or six hundred, adjourned to
the church, where divine services were
held and an unusual interest manifested.
Although the Church is very large. it was
impossible to scat the congregation, and
aislcs, windows and doors were filled with
eager listeners, to the great discomfort OF
those crowded in the pews.
A notable feature of this meeting, was
the absence of all excitement, such as usli-
ally attends religious revivals. Everything
has been conducted in quiet, busincss-like
way. A solemn carncstness seemed to per-
wade the entire people. No extra efforts
were made by the ministers to get up rell-
gious enthusiasm but all the people SEEM
ed to be moved by common impulse to
devote their whole time to the work in hand.
The meeting will be resumed at an early
day. 1t is rather remarkable that though
fifty persons have joined the Church, yet
the number of "cnquirers" were more nu-
merous at the close of the meeting than at
any time during its progress.

THE INTELLIGENCER.
LOCAL MATTERS.
INTIMIDATION.

We learn that desperate effort is being
made by colored men in this town and
County to prevent any colored people from
Soining the Democratic Clubs, and to accom-
nish this, have been making threats of vio-
nencc against any who join. We wish it to
lbe distinctly understood that these threats
shall not be executed. No man shall be
molested for joining Democratic Club, and
it will be a bad day for any person or persons
when they attempt to prescribe men in this
County. There must be no intimidation,
and especially the ignorant colored man
should not be intimidated. We have never
committed violence, and never will, but we
say, without reserve, that any effort to pun
ish the colored Democrats of this County,
will inaugurate mob law. Wewarn the Ke-
publicans not to inaugurate this system OF
intimidation, for they will reap the whirl'
wind if they SOW the wind.
