For the SPECTATOR,
"Uucle Shed.''

Mr.. Editor 1t is hard to make
Northern people understand the true
nature of the relationship between the
gime. The kind feeling, the sympathy,
yes the affection that existed between
the two races, and especially on the part
of the children for their ''mammy," as
the colored nurse was always termed,
whilst it was we'll known over the South,
was regarded on the part of the North
as mere romance. But for the influence
of bad men, this kind feeling would be
in existence to-day. In isolated situa-
tons this feeling was never destroyed.
The subject of this notice and his wife,
aunt "Taddy," who survives him, were
old servants in the family of the late
James Bell, of Lewis creek. On Mon.
day, the 18th instant, uncle Shed died
at Chesley Kidneys, Esq, under whose
roof he and aunt Taddy had sheltered
for nineteen years, and cared for and
nursed with all the sympathy that would
have been bestowed on them, if their
complexion had been different. It did
not matter that the late Mrs. Kinney, a
short time before her death, enjOined it
on her husband and children that these
old servants should be tenderly cared
for. Whilst her wishes, of course, were
sacred in their eyes, yet it did not make
them more attentive than their DISPOSE
tons prompted. On Tuesday his re-
mains were carried fifteen miles to the
old homestead, followed by his wife and
her foster children, Miss Kinney and
her brother. sincere mourners. ..

SPECIAL NOTICES.

B6F THE GREAT HEALTH RE-
STORER.-In all ages of the world the skill and
scientific attachments of man have been direct
ed to q study of the human system and q dis
covery Of the various ills to which it is heir. II
after years Of constant application, some distin-
guished physician has succeeded in compound
ing an agent by which the slightest ache may
be overcome, he has been hailed as q great
benefactor of his race, and with great propriety
the world have gladly sung pseans to his praise.
This being proper, in the discovery of q remedy
for a single disease, how much more indebted
are the whole human family to the inventor OF
BAKERS BITrERs, medicine that has stood
the test Of time, and proved panacea for Dys-
pepsia, Diarrhoea, Cholera Morbus, Cramp
Cholic, Giddiness, Nervous Debility, Loss Of APP
petite, and Sour Stomach, while the various
nostrums of quacks and empires have -four
ished for an hour and then disappeared never
again to be revived.
BAKERS BITTERs are now used in hundreds
OF families in Virginia as their only medicine,
and that they are appreciated even by medical
men as tonic OF great virtue, is abundantly at
tested by hundreds of certificates In the hands
of the Proprietor.
BAKERS BITTERS are compounded entirely
Of vegetable extracts, which are SO harmoni-
ousy blended that all ages and sexes may use
them with benefit, and without the fear Of
the slightest injury. Try them by all means
and then speak of them to the affiicted az they
deserve.
Sold by all druggists and country merchants

"a Pitiable Case"

EDITORS OF sTAUNTON SPECTATOR.
Gentlen,en- the local column of
the Last issue of the. K1lzey Kirginidn
there Is notice under the above caption
which does great injustice to the respect
able colored people of our city. they
are therein charged with failure to
comply with the common dictates OF
humanity and with being trifling and
heartless, inasmuch as they refused to
take upon themselves the charge of
burying child of q common strumpet.
In the opinion of the writer they were
perfectly justifable in pursuing the
course they did, viz: in putting the
charge of such burial upon the au-
thorities of the city. The colored peo-
pie of this city have always been prompt
in relieving, as far as their means ena-
bled them, the wants and necessities of
their poorer brethren deserving of assis-
lance. In the case referred to the pro-
per parties to defray the expense are the
city authorities, whether it be case of
cOlored or white woman.
The only object of the undersigned in
writing this communication is to free the
colored people of our city from the gross
imputations cast upon them in the article
above referred to, and to appeal to the
general sense of the community, If the
colored people, individually and through
their benevolent societies, have not al
ways been ready and prompt in the
relief of deserving eases among their
own people. Respectfully, &c.
THos. NJ. MORTON.

TEMPERANCE SERMON BY A WOMAN.
Mrs. Lane, of New Market, formerly OF
Michigan, delivered a sermon on the
subject of Temperance, in Temperance
Hal, in Harrisonburg on Monday night
of last week.
The Register says: "There was quite
a large number of ladies and gentlemen
present. She chose for her text, HE
that would obtain the mastery should
be temperate in all things" The speak
er assaiIed iptemperance in all its forms,
in drinking, eating, chewing, smok-
ing dressing, etc. The sermon was
interspersed with a number of in
cidents, illustrative of her subject
The lady is tolerably fluent speaker, OF
rather an easy style of delivery, and
sometimes quite pathetic. Her address
was listened to with good deal of in
terest, and produced quite favorable
impression upon the audience, both as to
the speakers ability and the truth other
doctrines
