DAYTON, ONO, August 81, 1875.
MEssRs. WIN. RENNE & Sons,
GENTs-Please send me at once by express one
dozen bottles large size Magic Oil. The Magic Oil
does indeed work like a charm. Six years ago
mother had fall which came very near RI sulting
fatally. She recovered her health in some degree
during the year following, but she sustained such
injuries, especially in her spine and left arm
nd shoulder, that she was almost helpless Ho-
ping change of climate might be beneficial, the
spring of the second year after her fall she went to
Utica, n. Y, to visit some relatives. While there
she obtained and used some of your Magic Oil 1t
relieved her almost immediately, so much 50 tn
she came home very much improved in health and
strength, and by the free of the Magic Oil she
is now enjoying better health than she has known
for ten years, aud has recovered entirely from her
injuries. Mother has so much confidence in your
Magic Oil that she will not be without it.
Respectfully yours, JOSEPH E. DIxsoN.

Louisville News, LIST
Information has just reached the city
relative to terrible murder which stands
unparalleled on the dark records of
crime. A few days ago John FAIRIES and
three companions from Randolph, Met.
calf county, started on a hunting expe.
dition to the Cumberladd Mountains.
They had been absent several days,
and nothing was heard from them, The
friends at home supposing that all was
we'll with them. From the best informa-
ton we can get at the present it appears
the unfortunate men, alter the days
hunt, pitched their tents at night amid
the wild scenery of the mountains, little
dreaming of the terrible fate that awaited
them. II was their last hunt. Some
time during the night they we're attacked
by a band of robbers, who inhabit these
mountains, aud not one of the four
victims was spared to tell the story Of
the terrible scene.
They had been shot and stabbed and
their bodies horribly mutilsted. The
robbers took their guns and all articles
of value that they could ind. The next
mornings man accidentally passed by the
place where the bloody scene of the night
previous had been enacted, and a heart
sickening scene met his terrified gaze.
The four murdered men, with their up.
turned, CHASTITY, expressionless faces,
were lying before him, and no clew could
be obtained as to who we're the perpetra-
tors Of the crime.
This man summoned other parties,
and by papers that were found on their
persons it was ascrtained who they
were, and also their place of residence.
The information, though not full, is
given in a letter written by John FARES
partner in Randolph to his father-in.law,
who resides at kowletts Station, aud the
news was brought to the city yesterday
