The <sHousekeeper, OF Our Health

The liver is the great depurating or
blood cleansing organ Of the system. Set
the great houNekeepcr of our health at
work, and the foul corruptions which
gender in the blood and rot out, as it
were, the machinery Of, life, are gradually
expelled from the system. For this pur-
pose DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
cevery, with small daily doses of DIR.
Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets are
pre- -emin emily the articles needed. They
cure every kind of hr NOR from the worst
scrofula to the common pimple, blotch
or eruption, Great eating ulcers kindly
heal, under their mighty. curative, infiu-
ence.l Virhlent blood poisons that lurk
in the system are. by Them robbed of
theiritesrors, and by their persevering
and somewhat protracted use the most
tainted system may be completely reno
waited and, built up anew. Enlarged
glands, tupaors, and swellings dwindle
away and ajsappear under the influence
of their great resolvents. Sold by all
dealers in medicipes- <..

OhOOhbp anu, oCPb- sbhs low
Dear Sir-From early youth was in
feeble health, troubled with hunor in
my blood, weakness and debility of the
system generally was unable to labor
much, and only at some light business,
and then only with great caution.
Seven years ago, the past spring, l had
a severe attack of Diptheria, which left
my limbs paralized and useless, so was
unable to walk Or even sit up. Noticing
the advertisement Of PERUVIAN SYRUP,
! conclu led to give it trial, and to my
great JOY soon found my health improv-
ing. continued the use Of the Syrup
until three bottles had been used, and
was restored to complete health, and
have remained so to this day.
] attribute my present health entirely
to the use of Peruvian Syrup. and hold
it in high estimation. | cannot speak
too highly in its praise. have in several
cases recommended it in cases very sImi-
lar to my own, with the same good re-
suits. Yours truly,
CRARLEs E. PEARcY.

NO. 49,.
A Man Perforated by One Hundred
and Thirty Bullets.

III feelings have been aroused be-
tween Mr.. j. II. Deaton and some Of
his neighbors in regard to some bus.
mess transactions, running back
through several months. Threats
had been made by both parties, and
the news of their threats had doubt
less been conveyed by carriers, who
added to and aggravated them. The
passions of the parties had been
worked up to fever-heat, and on last
Sunday morning, as Mr. Deaton and
a young man by the name of Ste.
phcns, who was in Deaton's employ
ment, were riding by the house of
j.. Conner, and just as they were
passing the gate, about twenty or
thirty steps away, q voice was heard
in the house, saying, "Holl on there,
gentlemen" and james Conner step
ped to the door with a gun in his
hand. At that instant Deaton, who
was riding by the side of Stephens,
slightly checked his mule and called
out to Conner, saying, "Hold on
there, Jim, / have nothing against
you;" but the words were scarcely
uttered when Conner fired his gun.
1t was shotgun loaded with large
shot, and the load took effect princi-
pally upon Deaton's r,ght arm, liter
ally tearing it to pieces from the
shoulder to his head. Deaton then
fell from his mule. Stephens was
hit slightly upon his shoulder. His
mule then took fright from Che rapid
firing made upon oDeaton, and he
could see no more Of the horrible
deed. When the neighbors gathered
in short time afterward they found
the dead body some forty yards from
where the first shot was fred, and
found over one hundred and thirty
holes in the corpse, some made with
shot and some with balls. 1t has
been ascertained that when eDeaton
and Stephens first rode in sight
there were seven men at Corners
house: j. X. Conner, S. r. Conner,
Pat. Dorsey, Isaac z. Woodall, David
Baily' H. O. Eagan and james Bur-
chett. Before the shooting com
menced, Woodall, Baily, Eagan and
Burchett left and went to Burchett's
house, some forty yards off. So the
shooting was confined to the two
Corners and Pat. Dorsey. The last
three made their escape and have
not yet been arrested. Woodall,
Baily and Eagan have been rccog-
nized to appear at the Circuit Court
of Randolph County, Arkansas.
The killing took place just across
the line in Arkansas Doniphan
Mo. } Prospect.
