WEST FAIRLEE VT, Jan. 18th, 1871
Dear Sir:-For seven or eight years past 1
have been IN poor health, and for the past year
or more very feeble. My health continued to
decline, and my flesh and strength wasted
away, until l was unable to work or even go
up stairs without great exhaustion. L suffered
from frequent and distressing attacks of palpi-
tation of the heart, my food distressed me, caus-
ing aciddy and pain in the stomach; and 1
suffered from extreme nervousness, coustipa-
ton and debility of the system generally, my
blood being thin and poor and sluggish in Cir
culation, and was for years suffering all the
tortures of a confirmed dyspeptic About six
months since concluded to try a bottle of
Peruvian Syrup, and received so much benefit
from it that purchased five bottles more, and
have continued the use of the Syrup until
quite recently. 1t has restored my health to
such an extent that feel myself as good as
new. My digestion is good and my weight has
increased in the past four months from one
hundred and twenty to one hundred and thirty
eight pounds; my strength has returned, and
my general health is thus wonderfully improved
and L can truly say 1 owe it all to the use of
your Peruvian Syrup. L earnestly recon- mend
all sufferers from dyspepsia and debility to give
it trial, hoping it will do them as much good
as it has me- Yours very truly.

Query.

Mr.. EDIroR:-While our railroads are doing
business between this city and Boston at ruin
ously low rates, are they not making them
selves whole by taxing local business exorb-
tant prices? At Old Orchard the other day 1
was taxed forty-five cents for ticket to Port
land-a distance of eleven miles. Isn't four
cents mile little steep? 1t does seem that
our Legislature should in some manner provide
that foreign railroad companies who have char
tiers in Maine should not discriminate against
people along the line in this state.

car of wheat in the Grand Trunk yard last
night two young men were found in the grain.

taken the agency of the Merriam Packing Co.
Concentrated Roast Beef, which is put up in
Texas. The beef is in sealed cans and is free
grstle, bones, etc, and after warming is ready

the animals are killed near the prairies, the
flesh is much better than when they have been
transported a long distance by rail.

The GORDON CAsE.-As some doubt has
been expressed as to the identity of Capt. Cor.
don who was seen in New York as reported in
the PRESS yesterday morning, we have obtain
ed permission to give the names of the parties
The letter referred to was received by Messrs.
Ryan s. Kelsey and was from Capt. J. E. Cat
chel, from Harpswell, of the schooner Nellie
F. Sawyer. Mr.. Gordon who is called Captain
has never been master of vessel more than
one or two voyages, but he has sailed as mate
with Capt. Gatchell on the Nellie f. Sawyer,
so there can be no doubt of his identity. At
present Gordon is doing mates duties on the
Nellie f. Sawyer in place of the regular mate,
who is absent from the vessel. The interest in
this matter has constantly increased since the
publication of the draw-tender's story in the
PRESS, and the fact that Capt. Gordon is alive
and on board vessel in New York makes the
matter doubly interesting. 1t is not probable
that the end Of the matter will ever be satsfac-
torily reached

FOUND DEAD IN A WELL.

EDS. JoURNAL-A strange, but
sad scene was witnessed few days
ago, about three miles from Powder
Springs, upon the farm owned by
James West, who resides with his
mother, although he was absent at
the time of this event. Mrs. West
proceeded to let the bucket down
into the well as usual, when to her
surprise something DISTRACTED its
passage to the bottom. This led the
old lady to investigate and upon
leaning over, discovered to her her>
ror, apparently, mans form lying
upon the surface of the water. She
summoned two of her neighbors, Mr..
T. J. Moon and Mr.. Eubanks. 1t
was agreed that Mr.. Eubauks should
descend and ascertain if the man
was dead, which he did by the odor
from the depths below. A rope was
placed around the neck of the de-
ceased, when the two men laid hold
of the rope and shortly the venera-
BILE head and white beard of Mr.
William Goat appeared above the
curbiug. Oh, horror! Now, it il
said that the ghost of that poor, dead
goat, haunts the slumbers of JEFF
Moon repeatedly. ALFRED.

GEORGIA NEWS.

A colored smoke-house burglar
in Baker county, who had been ar
rested, shot his captor in the arm
and escaped.
AS piece of information likely
to be of interest to our colored
friends we would state that a snake
three feet long was found in a Dodge
county watermelon recently.
1t may be interesting to the
doctors to know that quite recently
negro man in Quitman extracted a
live, fibrOus worm from bone felon
on his hand.
Dick Dawson, a negro, in
weighed another coIored man named
Frank Cunningham into the woods
and murdered him. This occurred

ID. p. Ferguson, Of Jonesboro,
planted one-half acre of corn, rows

and the greens very promising.
"A Murray county matron, who
deserted her children and eloped
with a strange man some time ago,
returned the other day. Her re
ception, however, was the reverse of
hospitabe. Her former neighbors
sheared her head and in other I'M
mistakable ways gave her to under>
stand that the climate was not suit
ed to her health.
The Sandersville Messenger
says that while Mrs. VIM. O'Qinn,
of Washington county, was scalding
and securing on Friday last, she
placed on the floor a tub of boiling
water, and her little girl, between
eighteen months and two years old,
was playing about in the same room,
when an older sister ran toward the
little one for frolic, causing the lit
tie innocent to back against the tub
and fall over into the scalding water.
Immediate death relieved the little
angel of all but a moments pain, but
the horrors of that mother upon see
ing the skin and flesh peel from the
little form of one so near and dear,
can better be imagined than des>
cribed.
