architecture and beauty.
An atrocious murder was committed at
West Rutland last Monday, the result of
longtime feud between the Patten and Nc
Cue families, Of which John Patten and
Barney McCue were respectively the muir
derer and victim. 1t appears that the two
had quarrel Monday morning, and that
McOuo struck Patten with slodge hammer,
most say in sell-delence. Patten then had
warrant made out against McCue and
while it was being read they had another
quarrel in which Patten shot st McOuo
twice, one ball going through his heart
Patten was Immediately arrested. He is As

New ORLEANS, October i2.-Th,re were
many lives lost by the burning of the
steamboat Southern Belle. Among those
known to be lost are VIM. Non Phul, Mr..
Drcz, Miss Fannie O'Conner and another
lady, all of Baton Rouge, Mr.. Franks, of
Port Hudson, Mr.. Lingom and Frank, :"
an employee, and the steward aud his crew.
Ii Is supposed that nearly sll of those who
were sleeping in the aft part of the boat
were burned to de 9TH, as after the fire had
once got fairly under way it was almost
impossible to get to the bow of the boat,
It being the only way of escape to the
shore. The cargo consisted of from five
to eight hundred bales of cotton. The
boat was new, and valued at $45. 900 :
insured for $50, 600, mostly in New Orleans
companies. Mr.. E. Hebert, the pilot, held
| the bow of the boat against the bank I'M
| til all who could had escaped. He then
lesped from the pilot house to the lower
deck and was severely injured.

When vital action is sluggish, a stimu
liant, provided it he pure and properly medi
Gated, is the most reliable agent for impart-
ing the necessary impetus to the semi-dor-
mant organs, accelerating the languid cir
culation and averting the mlladies to which
functional inactivity gives rise. Physicians
who have employed Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters in their practice pronounce it the
most salutary tonic stimuant they have
ever used, and especially commend it as
remedy for torpidity of the bowels, liver,
stomach and kidney, and as a resuscitant
of vital energy. The medicinal value OF
the Btters Is due to the fact that with their
basis of pure old rye are combined, in per
feet chemical harmony, the best restorative
and life sustaining elements known to medi-
cal botany. The bitters never deteriorate
in the most unfavorable climates.
