Now and Then.

1t is only now and then that such men as Hon
Alex. H. Stephens, Elk Gov. Smith and Elk
Gov. Brown Of Ca, endorse medicine for the
throat and lungs and when they do it is pretty
good evidence that the remedy must be good
for the cure Of coughs, colds and lung affections,

Fell Twenty Feet.

ooh, stranger, come here! - was the dis
tressing cry, oft repeated, that fell upon the
ears of some farmers, Monday night, who
were camped in Mr. Wade Whites wagon
yard The cry came from the interior OF
Mansfield's old vacated flour mill. The
wagoners went in the building with lights
and at the bottom of well, twenty feet
deep, was a white man, whose piteous APP
peals came up for rescue. These gentle
man, among the number was Mr., John Buff
fington, got their wagon lines and threw
one end down to the unfortunate man in
the pit, who fastened it to his body, and
he was soon pulled out. He was Il tramp
who had turned in the old building for a
nights shelter, and stumbled into the pit.
On regaining his liberty he was the most
thankful man imaginable. But "all's well
