From the Raleigh Sentinel
Jarvis Proves the Blood Hound
Charles against mith.

After Vance and Settle got through
at Smithfeld last Tuesday, Mr. JARVIS
took the stand and told the crowd he
didn't expect to make a speech, but
to- day only wanted to inquire into the
charges made against Major Smith
that he hunted deserters with dogs
during she War. He had made the
charge on hearsay and if the state
nlent WAS true she people OF North
Carolina should know 1t, and If untrue,
il should be corrected in justice to
Maj. smith. The Major was on the
stand and ztriumphautly exclaimed,
There is no man in Johns; on county
who will face me and charge me With
having run mel with dogs"
Jarvis replied Yes, in tho west
Mr.. Smith has denied the charge and
stated he would give the man five hun.
Gred dollars in gold who would face
him and say he had run him with
dogs, and now if such man be pres
ent let him come forward and claim
his five hundred dollars"
About shat time Zoe LeMay sang
out CLEAR the track, boys; here comes
the man"
The crowd made way and an old
chap, J. 81. Morgan of Meadow town
ship, struggled through and they
raised him the stand and sat him on
the top of the table. The old man
raised his specs and eying Smith like
looking into a horses mouth be spoke
through his nose and said: "Major,
don't you reko-Iect when [ was home
on furlough, you put your dogs arter
me an rua me home ia my own
house ?" The crowd yelled at this and
there was general bedIam below. An
old coou's voice vas hoard ringing
above the din, Eyes, au' b'longed to

A Diploma of Honor-Medal of Merit
and Certificate of Distinction at
the Centennial.

PHILADELPHIA, October q, 1876
Messrs. VIM KVABE & Go. have won a
great victory, and they are to be con-
graduated. They triumph over all
competitors in the Piano Forte De-
partment, and have been awarded the
highest honors liz the power Of the
Centennial authorities to bsstow. The
Judges of Awards and the Centennial
Commission have unanimously decreed
the Diploma of Honor. the Medal Of
Merit, and, in addition, a Certificate
Of Distinction. The reports Of the
Judges specifying the elements Of
merit are the only reliable exponents
Of their decisions, and their report on
the Knabe Pianos states that their in-
struments possess the highest excel
lence, and that they moro nearly ap-
proach perfection than any other, in
power, richness and sympathetic quail
ity of tone, in ease and certainty of
action, and III elegance and durability
Of workmanship. This leaves nothing
TO be desired, and in recognizing and
commencing this rare com bin alton of
qualities in all their styles OF Grands,
Squares and Uprights, the Judges
have acted wisely, and have but on
dorsed and ratified the opinion of the
great majority of visitors at the Cen
tenniai. The Messrs. Knabe & Co.
have made less noise, and have been
more sparing in the use Of bombast
than some of their competitors, pre-
ferring to leave with the Judges the
duty Of determining which Pianos
were really the best. The Judges

Probably there ts no complaint that aff1icts
the human system, which is 50 little understood
at the present time, as some OF the var .ed forms

There is no disease which causes such acute
pain or moro alarming in its RESULTS than when
the kidneys fail , secrete from the blood the
uric acid, and other poisonous substances which
the blood accumulates in its circulation through
the system.
If from any cause the kidneys fail to perform
the functions devOlving upon them, the cumi-

The story of life told in two verse,
by the Detroit Tribune, as follows:
An old farmhouse with meadow wide,
And sweet with clover on each side;

The door with woudbine wreathed about
And wishes his one thought all day;

From this dull spot the world to- see,

How happy l would be -
