A Sudden Death.

Mr.. e. M. E. Knight, and esteem
ed citizen of this place, died very
suddenly on last Saturday morning
the 23d inst. He was seated in a
chair in his store door when he suds
denly pitched out on his head on the
sidewalk. Parties picked him up
and asked him if he desired a doc
tor. He conversed sensibly and
said "No; he guessed not, as he was
accustomed to a swimming in the
head, and he would soon get over
it." He was placed upon bed,
and rapidly grew worse, becoming
unconscious, and in one hours time,
he died. The doctors decided that
the cause was effusion of blood to
the brain. At the time of his death
he lacked six days being 46 years
old. He was quiet and orderly
man, prompt and inst in bis business
transactions, and kind and true
friend. His funeral was preached
Sunday evening by Rev. w. +.
Glenn. He was buried on the same
evening with Odd Fellow honors.

How to Vanpuish the Stomach's Tor
mentor,

IF the Enemy of mankind was permitted to
exert his diabolical ingenuity in the invention
OF a new disease, he could scarcely devise one
more worthy of his genns than dyspepsia. The
dyspeptic sufferer is tormented by symptoms
resembling those of almost every known mala-
dy and is often worried into monomania by
these conflicting aad perplexing manifestations.
A favorite though absurd halucinaton of the
victim of chronic indigestion is that he or she
has heart dis ase. Dyspepsia has often been
pronounced incurable but experience has shown
that Hostetter's Stomach Biters will vanqush
it, together with the constipation and bilious de-
rangement which usually accompany it. Dis
eases of the kidneys and supposed rheumatic
pains are also frequent concomitants ofdyspep.
STA, but they, too, succumb to the above named
invaluable corrective.

About Hating.

Hate not. 1t is not worth while
Your life is not long enough to pay to
cherish Ill viii or hard thought to any
one. What if this man has cheated
you, or that woman played you false
What if this friend has forsaken you
in time of need, or that one, having
won our utmost confidence, your
warmest love, has concluded that he
prefers to consider and trust you as a
stranger? Let it pass. What differ
ence will it make in few years, when
you go hence to the undiscovered coun-
try? All who hate you now will be
more sorry for it than you, even in
your deepest disappointment and grief,
can be. A few more smiles, a few
more pleasures, much pain, a little
longer hurrying and worrying through
some hasty greeting and abrupt fare
wells, and our play will be played out,
the injured will be led away and ere
long forgotten. Is it worth while to
hate each other2

Tn the year 1858, James Fl. Ham
mond, of South Carolina, delivered
famous speech in the United States
Senate. The Columbia Register, re-
calling it, says:
1T was an oration rather abounding
in passages of solid eloquence and
philosophic thought. The whole past
of the country's history lay before the
speaker in all its glory and grandeur.
The near and gloomy future of gov
ernment on the stock -jo bling system
of barter, trade, corruption and fraud,
since so sadly realized, doomed up om-
inously to his view. The comparison,
the contrast rather, is one of the finest
things in our parliamentary debates.
Said Senator Hamzdond to the scowl-
ing Senators, VINO, under the lead of
the diabolical Seward, when then lay
ing the foundations of the irrepressi-
bic conflict. and of war of sectional
hate and bitterness and of outrage on
the common compact of the govern
ment:
You complain of the rule of the
South; that has been another cause
that has preserved you. We have
kept the government conservative to
the great purpose of the Constitution.
We have placed itand kept it upon the
Constitution, and that has been the
cause of your peace and prosperity.
The Senator from New York says that
that is about to be at an end, that you
intend to take the government from US;
that it will pass from our hands into
yours. Perhaps what he says is true;
it may be; but do not forget-it can
never be forgotten-it is written on the
brightest page of human history-that
we, the planters of the South, took our
country in her infancy, and, after rul-
ing her for sixty out of the seventy
years of her existence, we surrendered
her to you without stain upon her
honor, boundless in prosperity, meal
culable in her strength, the wonder
and the admiration of the world.
Time will show what you will make of
her; but no time can diminish our glory
or your responsibility"

Bill simpsons Legal Experience.

Many years ago the Legislature of
! IennesSee p sSsd al act TO organize
/ the county of McNary. dlids Snake.
! At that time lhn caintry embraced in
/ THE lslniis ui Snake was occupied by a
sturdy set of backwoods- men, totally
nnacquainted with courts, jails &c.
The county assembled at the appointed
site for the purpose of cutting logs,
making boards, &C.. to build court
house and Jail. The only theme of
daily conversation, when the men were
assembled, was the court, &c. None
had ever seen a court in session, as yet
developed. Bach would give what
his idea was of court. None. how
ever, was entirely satisfactory, until
Bill Simpson was called on to give his
ideas. He said he knew all about a
court-that he had had lawsuit in
North Carolina. One of his neighbors'
hogs kept coming when he fed his
hogs until it got fat. One morning he
got so d-d mad that he shot the hog.
He thought it would not do to throw
it away, SO he cleaned and salted it.
Shortly after, his neighbor and man
came to his house examining the
smokehouse, and took him to town
and put him in a little Office. About
three months after that this man came
and took him up to a large room. A
large man sat upon a high bench--a
man was sitting at a desk-about a |
dozen fine dressed men sat in place |
that was paled around. The man put
him in a pen that was just behind |
them. He then called in twelve men;
they took their seats in box in front |
of the fine dressed men. The man I
that was writing gave the twelve men
a book and said something about
Bill Simpson and the State. Then /
one of the fine dressed men said some
thing about Bill Simpson and the hog,
and he and another of the fine dressed
men had the biggest quarrel you ever
heard. I thought they would fight
every minute, but they didn't. It was
Bill Simpson and the hog, and the
hog and Bill Simpson, and sometimes
Mr. Simpson, but id seldom. After
they quit quarrelling, the big man
talked awhile to the twelve men, and
went out and staid short time, and
came back and said something to the
man at the desk. Then the man on
the bench said something to the man
at the desk. Then the man on the
bench said something to the man that
put me in the Office, and he took me
out and tied me to a persimmon tree
and commenced fighting me with a
and it made me so id mad
that | shook all the persimmons off
the tree.
