DEATH OF Nj. WYvAL RoYD.-We
cannot record with other than feelings
of deep sadness, the death Of this young
gentleman, which occurred in the prime
OF life, on Wednesday night last, at the
residence of his mother, ON S. Potomac
Street. Mr.. Boyd, after closing out
the Reporter and Advertiser, in this
town. determined to establish himself in
the state of Florida, and in company
with Mr.. Edward Knode, another young
gentleman of our place, located in that
State and entered upon the business,
we believe, of vegetable raising. This
was in the Spring of the present year,
and the Summer soon coming upon
them in climate SO uncongenlal to
their habits, disease was engendered,
which compelled them to leave that
country and return to their old home.
Mr.. BOYD was taken to his bed at once,
with low grade Of teve:, which ended
his life, as above stated, in the very
prime and usefulness of lite, to the deep
regret of large circle of friends and
relatives. The funeral will take place
to. day at 3 o'clock, and the in,erment
will be in the lot of G. IL. Humrichouse,
Esq, at Rose Hill Cemetery. lie was
son OF Andy &. Boyd.-Haser'town

THE NEXT SHERIFF.

Mr.. Editor-I wish to warn the
Democratic Conservative party to be
on their guard One thing is certain,
Suble.te cannot be elected Sheriff, and
every voter in the County is aware Of
that fact. But he has formed a com
binalion with Koonce. Sublette wish.
es to split the Democratic Conservative
vote on Baker, so that koonce with the
Republican vote will be ,s, elected. This !
is the game am credibly informed is
now being played. The question now
arises who would you rather have for
YOUR next Sheriff-Koonce or Baker {?
The contest is between those two.
Every vote given to Sublelte is one for
Koonce. We then. call upon every
Democratic Conservative voter in the
County to vote solid for BAKER, and
all will be we'll OLD WIG.

Just before going to press, and too
late to allow any extended comment
this week, we received The card OF MI.

accepting :he call made upon him last
week TO come out rs Il candidate for
Sheriff. We regret this action OF Mr..
Suble;tc exceedingly, aud en- no account
more than his own, as his independent
candidacy, after submitting his name 10
a County Convention of the Democratic
Conservative party, III which a resoIu-
ton was passed binding candidates and
delegates alike to the support OF IiS
nominees, cannot hut react uPon his
own head-deteat him now, and blast
his political prospects for the future.
Hundreds of his best friends will cast
their ballots solidly against him, and
for the nominee, who would otherwise
gladly avail themselves of an opportunl.
" to support him. But one thing now
remains 20 be done by the Democratic
Conservative party OF Jefferson county,
and that is to close up the ranks and sup.
port the nominees. Let personal prefer
ences be cast aside, and the good OF the
party alone held in view. We must

S. marsha! for the Western District OF

HOLLOWAY'SPILLS AND ONT

HOLLOWAY'SP PILLS ANDOlNI-
MENT.. -EXERCISE your judgement.
A newer and better philosophy.-To
pull down all absurd and antiquated
notions of disease and its cures, and to
establish a rational system on the ruins,
has been the chief endeavor OF DIR. Hol-
loway through life, hence the origin OF
his celebrated Pills and Ointment
remedies in keeping with common sense,
because subservient to nature, rather
than at variance with her laws like
those in general use. To the stomach
we trace dyspepsia, headache and gen
eral debility; to the liver, bile, jaundice,
and yellow fever; to the bowels, diar-
rhea, dysentery, constipation, piles, and
fistula to the lungs, consumption, DC,
to the blood, scrotula, scurvy, and all
cutaneous eruptions. BY keeping these
organs add the vital fluid pure and
healthy we may safely defy the attacks
of disease, and no medicine yet prepar-
ed for this purpose can equal the action
of these Pills and Ointment, as they
dive to the seat of the disorder, aud by
extirpating its cause, destroy Its effect.

ROMANCE on THE RAIL.-On one OF
the PENNSYLVANIA trains last Thursday
was family with whose life is assoclat-
ed an interesting history. The Altoona
Mirror relates it thus: Mrs. Ford re-
sides il Illinois and was on Ter way,
with two children, to the Centennial.
Some three years ago she and her
husband had a difficulty which resulted
IN their separation. He quit the neigh
borhood in which he resided with her
and took up his abode i'll New Orleans.
The wife in the meantime lived in en-
tire ignorance of her husbands where
abouts, not supposing that reunion
would ever be effected. When the
train arrived in the depot here the lady
alighted from the car and partook OF
some refreshments. When about TO
take her place on the car again her
ewes met those of gentleman standing
on the platform whom she at once re-
cocn;zed as her husband. The recognl-
ton was mutual. The memories OF the
happy days of old came back to both
of them, cordial reunion took place
in the cars and they proceeded eastward
together.
