mands consideration of those who have
his future under their control. Seven |
years have now passed by since the offense |
with which he is charged was committed, |
and yet to-day he lies in Jail, begging to |
be brought to trial. Twice has he been
sent to the Asylum, and twice returned,
with the certificates of his physicians that
he was entirely sound and well. Since
then he has been shifted from one Jail to
another, always declaring himself ready
for trial, and insisting that some disposi-
ton be made of him. So far as we can
learn-and we have been at some trouble
to inquire-the main cause of this delay
lies in Major Charles Blackburn, the
brother of the prisoner, and prominent
| criminal lawyer of Cincinnati.
The gallows for the execution of Bow
sher will be erected between the Court
House and the new Jail, north of the foot
bridge which connects the two buildings.
This will give an enclosure about eighteen
feet wide and about twenty-five long. A
high fence will be built at each end of the
passage-way, the lower portion of which,
however, will be about four feet from the
ground, so that the feet of the doomed
man can be seen by intruders after the
trap has been sprung. Sheriff Mackey
will use every precaution to prevent any
of the horribly bungling work which has
so often occurred at legal executions The
rope to be used will probably be part of a
plated Iariat, which Colonel Mackey
brought with him from the Plains, on his
return from military service in that sec
ton of the country. 1t is of remarkable
strength ,andpossessse sufficient f1exibility
for the indicated purpose. After the exc
cution, if Bowsher's friends do not imme
diately claim his body, it will probably bt
put in a coffin and placed in front of the
gallows enclosure long enough to per
nit the public to get view of it.

A timely dose of Schenck's Pills is sure to
prevent an attack of billiousness, when Il short
neglect of the warning symptoms may develop
serious case of fever, either bilious, intermittent
or typhoid.
Schencks Mandrake Pills remove all causes of
bilousness, promptly start the secretions of the
liver, and give healthy to the entire system.
1t is no ordinary discovery in medical science to
have found harmless cure for this stubborn COM
plaint which accomplishes all the results hereto
fore produced by free use of calomel, mineral
justly dreaded by mankind, and acknowled to be
destructive in the extreme to the human system
That the properties of certain vegetables comprise
all the virtues of calomel without its injurious
qualities, is now an admitted fact rendered indis-
putable by scientific tests. Those who use the
Mandrake Pills will be fully satisfied that the best
medicines are those provided by nature in the
common herbs and roots of the fields.
Ehese pills open the bowels and correct all bill
iouS arrangement without salvation or any of the
injurious effects of calomel or other poisons. The
secreuon OF bile is regulated as will be seen by the
aIereo color OF the stools, the disappearance Of
the sallow complexion and the cleansing of the
| tongue.

he placed the tie on the track in order to

TIE Delaware Gazette, of last week has
this to say of the temperance effort that
is now being made in that city:
FE,Fhe Gospel Temperance work in our
city seems to be developing n strength,
and gaining each day new momentum
of power most encouraging to the friends
of this cause. Mr.. Dixon's labors have
been already abundantly blessed in the
stirring up Of Indifferent and inactive ell
ements in our midst, as well as in the ar
resting and turning around of the poor
inebriate, as he, with wonderful simplic-
ity, and yet spiritual power, holds up
Christ as their only remedy.
Our own town is fearfully demoralized
with drinking and gambling-houses. No
place is more in need of thorough re-
formation than Washington.

The Cincinnati Gazette, few days
since, said: ''The air was blue about the
Ohio State House last night with Dem

unhappy Governor of Ohio. If Mr.. Bish-
op should record in his scrap-book all the
late expressions of his party bearing up
on himself and family, he would require
a whole font of dashes.''

ONE of the Assistant Clerks of the

Of something stronger than cold water,

of the present House of Representatives
to drink freely.
