A TRAGIC ghost story comes from
Newmanstown, Lebanon County, Penn.
sylvania. Two young ladies were re.
turning from fair in pheton with a
young brother of one of the ladies as
driver. 1t was about eleven o'clock al
night and the road was dangerous
While passing through ravine known
as Ghosts Hollow the driver says he saw
an unearthly white object, which fright
ened them all, spring on the horses back,
driving IL at terrific pace until the
pheton was dashed to pieces against
stone bridge. One of the young ladies
was instantly killed, and the other is now
at the point of death.

which Shall L Take

This is often serious question with the
invalid. He finds the market flooded with
proprietary medicines, scores OF which are
recommended rs certain cures for his pecu-
liar ailment. He reads the papers, circulars,
and almanacs, and finds each sustained by
plausible arguments, setting forth its virtues
and specific action. The recommendations
are as strong for one as for another. The
cures claimed to have been wrought by one
are as wonderful as those claimed 70 have
been wrought by another. In his perplexity
and doubt, the sufferer is sometimes led to re-
ject all. But it should be borne in mind that
this condition of things is one that can not be
remedied. In land where all are free, the
good-the truly valuable-must come into
competition with the vile and worthless, and
must be brought to public notice through
ing. In such case, perhaps the only abso-
lutte proof that q remedy is what it claims to
be, is to try it. The test of the pudding is
the eating of it." "Prove all things, hold
fast that which is good" is the Apostolic
Injunction. There may, however, be stronger
presumptive evidence in favor of one
remedy than there is in favor of another,
and this should be allowed its due weight.
A due regard to this may save vast amount
of experimenting, and useless outlay of
money. As presumptive evidence in favor

Negro Militia Besieged.

At Augusta, Ga, on July s, Robert Butler,
citizen of Edgefeld County, complained
that he was interrupted by colored militia
company which blocked up the public high
way, and Prince Rivers, a colOred Trial JUS
tice, summoned witnesses, and Doc
Adams, Captain of the company, became
so insolent that Rivers arrested him
for contempt. In the afternoon, when the
trial was resumed, the company res
cued Adams. Rivers, in addition to being
Trial Justice, commands State militia. lie
ordered the company to disarm, and on re-
fusing called upon the citizens for aid, when
the militia company took possession of a
brick building and refused to surrender.
Fire was opened by both sides for several
hours, and one white man Makey Merri-
wether, was killed, and another white man
wounded. One of the negroes is reported
killed and nine taken prisoners. A small
piece of artillery was taken from Augusta
to Hamburg, but after firing few rounds,
the ammunition gave out. The citizens OF
Edgefeld were aided by the citizens of Au'
gusta, and a regular siege was LAID to the
building in which the negro militia were
entrenched.
The rio. at Hamburg has terminated dis.
astrously. On the morning OF July 8, be.
tween two and three o'clock, six negroes
were killed and three wounded. After
the whites had fred four rounds from a
piece of artillery, the negroes retreated
from the brick building into the cellars
and outhouses of adjoining buildings. Fif-
teen were captured, and the others, in
Guiding Captain Doc Adams, escaped into
the country. 1t is reported that some
of the prisoners were shot after being
captured.
This unfortunate affair is deplored by all
good citizens of both races, and there is deep
regret that better counsels did not prevail.
The dead were buried, and crowds of people
from Augusta visited Hamburg. Whites
and blacks intermingled freely. There were
no threats, but deep regrets that blood had
been shed and lives lost. No further trouble
is anticipated.

lethargy produced by the heat takes the desire
for wholesome food, and frequent perspirations re-
duce bodily energy. particularly those suffering from
the effects Of debilitatiag diseases In order to keep
natural healthful activity Of the system, we must
resort to artificial means For this purpose Schencks
Sea Weed Tonic is very effcctuai. A few doses will
create an appetite and give fresh vigor to the
enervated body. For dyspepsia, 1t Is invaluable.
Many eminent physicians have doubted whether
dyspepsia can be permanently cured by the drugs
which are generally employed for that purpose The
Sea Weed Tonic In its NATURE Is totally different from
such drugs. 1t contains no corrosive minerals or
acids in fact II assists the regular operations of
ture, and supplies her deficiencies. The tonic in its
nature so much resembles the gastric Juice that is
almost identical with that fluid. The gastric juice
is the natural solvent which, in healthy condition
of the body causes the food to be dgcsted and when
this Juice is not excreted in sufficient quantities, in
digestion, with all its distressing symptoms, fol-
lows The Sea Weed Tonic performs the duty OF thu
gastric juice when the latter is deficient. Schenck'
