A TIME-HON0RED SPECIFIC.-The long
and successful career of DR.. Wishart's Pine
Tree Tar Cordial as contrasted with the
speedy collapse of nostrums devoid Of efficacy
which have from time to time been puffed into
brief notoriety during the twenty odd years
that this celebrated medicine has been sold,
affords a proof that the American public con-
tiaues to repose its confidence in deserving
articles only. The Pine Tree Tar Cordial has
long been recognized as the leading specific
for Consumption, Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds,
Asthma, Diptheria and all other diseases of
the breathing organs. It is, moreover, GER
tain, speedy, and safe botanic remedy for
Dyspepsia, Liver Disorders, Scrofulus A6ec-
tions, Urinary Troubles, Gravel, Dropsy, De-
bility, Constipation, and Female Complaints
Constantly accumulating evidence of an un-
impeachable character establishes the fact
that it not only entirely eradicates the dis
eases to which ii is adopted but also that its
action is remarkably prompt and thorough.
The crucial test of experience has demonstrate
ed its reliability in every particular. Sold by

Billiard Match.

On Thursday night last, according to pre-
vious encouragement, the Messrs. Dion, of
New York, gave an entertainment in the bill
lard parlors of the National Hotel. At eight
O'Clock the doors were opened, and goodly
number Of the citizens Of Middletown, and
other portions of the State, assembled to wit
ness the playing. The first was four-ball
game of $40 points, which was won by Mr..
Joseph Dion. his first score being 70 points,
and during this game he made score Of 7s.
Mr.. Cyrille Dion made score of "a. The
playing was close and spirited, and afforded
those present excellent opportunities for get
ting off some coed jokes at the expense of
oneanother. The second was three ball game,
which seemed to hold the audience spell-bound
as the players succeeded in making various
hard and scientific shots. At 10 O'Clock the
two games were ended, and then some of the
most difficult fancy shots were introduced.
They also exhibited the diamond cue' and
champion badge" which were much ad-
mired for their beauty and artistic design.
The gentlemen named are the most scien tific
players that have ever visited this section,
and they have certainly not lost any of their
former laurels BY their performance last night.
Mr. Crawford, the new but popular landlord,
enlived the occasion with his presence, and
by his Antiring attention to all present made
the entertainment a complete success.

white washing.

With the return of Spring each year comes
this perennial nuisance. Everybody who
owns an outbuilding or garden fence seems
to think that it is incumbent on him or her
to have it whitewashed, and everywhere
turn which way you may-the dazzling glare
Of the SUMS rays upon the lime washed boards
greets :ths eyes. This is ruinous to the eye
sight, and does more TO increase the business
Of the oculist than anything else. It all looks
very well, it is true, but the lime could be
easily colored to some other hue that would
look equally as we'll, preserve its appearance
a great deal longer and cost scarcely anything
more, either ia money or trouble. People do
not think, when they start out the white
washer with his lime and brush, Of the incon-
venience and annoyance they are going to
cause their neighbors, or they certainly would
try to do something TO modify it little. Now
we are not the only ones who complain of this
nuisance-we have the same complaint made
by scores of others. Merchants whose win
dows happen to be opposite to a garden fence
that has been newly whiteued up, know
something of its effects, and they have beeu
obliged to request permission Of the owner Of
the Objectionable fence and wash it all over
with some other color at their own expense.
Ladies, too, frequently complain ofthe annoy
ing effect which the white-wash on stables
and other outbuildings have upon them-they
cannot look out their windows without hav-
ing their eyes dazzled and blinded with the
glare from these whited walls. Do, friends,
change the color little. A few cents invest
ed in some material which you can get at any
store where paints are sold, will give
you much prettier and far less Objectionable
color than white, and our word for it, ii will
look well much longer than white Any color,
so it isn't white.

snootlnn Ana.r a. Clayton.

Last Saturday evening, about o'clock, a
shooting affair occurred at Clayton between
r. B. Garman and j. Douglas Coyerdale, in
front of Hazell's store Mr. Garman was on
his way home from Smyrna 10 his farm in the
Alley, and when he alighted from bis car
riage at Clayton, where he made short stop,
Mr.. Coverdale advanced towards him and
struck him, or tried to. Mr.. Garman drew
his pistol, small affair, and fred two shots,
one ball penetrating the vest Of Coverdale and
lodging in the pocket, the other passing
through his coat sleeve and slightly wound
ing his wrist. The parties moved on, @. fol-
lowing G. up until they got into the store,
where friends parted them and Garman went
home If the pistol bad been of little
heavier calibre il is pretty evident that severe
results would have followed. Garman sur
rendered himself to Esquire Mahood there,
and entered his own recognizance for his ap-
pearance at CoSrt. The difficulty between
them is purely personal matter. 1t is an
old feud that has existed since the settlement
by Mr.. 6. of the estate of the late Thomas
Lamb Both parties married daughters Of
the deceased, and Garman administered on
the estate, which created some unpleasant

illstalIation and Ordination.

Installation and Ordination.
The Times gives the following account of
the interesting services in the Presbyterian
church, of Smyrna, on Tuesday evening
last, in installing Rev Justus Umstead pas
Tor, and ordaining the newly-elected elders /:
The installation and ordination services at
the Presbyterian church, last evening, were
witnessed by a large congregation. The choir
sang finely. Rev. DR.. Patton, of Middletown,
presided. Rev. Dr. Crowell, of Odessa,
preached the installation sermon. Rev.
Samuel Gayley, of West Nottingham, Cecil
county, Nd delivered the charge to the pas
tor and Rev. John Squire, of Elkton, IA for
mer pastor) delivered the charge to the con-
gregation. Dr. Patton then declared the
Rev. Justus 7. Umstead the duly installed
pastor of the church. The ministers who de,
livered the charges passed high commeuda-
tons upon the pastor, with whom they had
been acquainted for number of years DR..
Patton then ordained VIM. B. Collins and
George W. Taylor into the Eldership Of the
church by the laying on ofhands. The cere-
mony was impressive. The Doctors charge
to the new Elders was especially pleasing.
He claimed that this special feature of Presby-
terianism was copied from Saint Paul himself
and that therefore the church was following
in the direct line Of Apostolic succession. He
was not disposed, however, to lay claim to
exclusive rights for his church on this or any
other score, but conceded full fellowship to all
believing Christians. He was opposed to
higgling on points Of doctrine between de-
nominations. His address was full of the
most liberal evangelical sentiment for all
other religious bodies. After the dismissal
the congregation extended the right hand of
fellowship to pastor and elders.

BUELL. ON THE sOLvENOY OF THE
SOUTH.

Some OF our Texas exchanges took
occasion some time since to animadvert
on the statements Of our correspondent
BUELL. with reference to the universal
bankruptcy of the North, and the rela-
tive solvency Of the South, and in
terms which did something more than
merely imply that he was trucking to
Southern prejudice in the contrasts he
drew between the solvency Of the one
section and the bankruptcy Of the other.
Surely the New York Times may be
accepted as q just and intelligent
exponent of the extreme Northern view
OF all things Northern, whether in
politics or finance. If not the very
best of all the Northern papers, it is at
least only second to the best, in every
thing that goes to make up great
newspaper. But above all other things,
it is q true and intelligent exponent Of
Northern sentiment, as separated and
distinguished from the sentiment of
any other section. In this respect it is
the exponent and representative of the
essentially Northern view of all ques-
tions of national Importance that arise.
But we hardly feel it necessary to
make out credentials for the New York
Times. Its tone as well as it's ability is
universally known. We are gratified,
then, and may be pardoned for saying
so, to find that it bears testimony, and
almost in the Identical words of our able
and sagacious correspondent to the eX.
act state of affairs pictured by him in
the very letter to which our Texas ex.
changes took exceptions, as will be seen
byreference to our Geographic columns.
