room, and when he told her that he could not
move without falling out she braced up, put
her feet in the small of his back and landed
him in the middle Of the room. Thereafter

whole year. She deuied kicking him out of

and 10 getting back she accidentally fell over
his feet, whereupon he declared that she did II

By Universal Accord,

Ayers Cathar,ic Pills are the best of all pur
gaiives for family use. They are the product
Of long laborions and successful chemical
investigation, and their extensive use, by
Physicians in their practice, and by all civil
LIKED nations, proves them the best and most
effectual purgative Pill that medical science
can devise. Being purely vegetable no harm
can arise from their use. In intrinsic value
and operative powers no other Pills can be
compared with them, and every person, know
ing their virtues, will employ them, when
needed. They keep the system in perfect
order, and maintain in healthy action the
whole machinery of life. Mild searching and
elfectnal they are specially adapted to the
needs of the digestive apparatus, derange-
ments of which they prevent and cure, il
timely taken. They are the best and safest
physic to employ for children and weakened
constitutions, where mild, but eifectual,
cathartic is required.

Following the communication Of Andrew
Davis, colored, will be found communica-
ton OF the same tenor from Thomas Martin,
more widely known as "Red Tom" There
are others Of their race in this community and
oil over the county who intend TO cast off the
chains of Republican serfdom and assert their
rights by exercising their own opinions in Sc
lecting the man TO represent them. Up to two
years ago those colored men who wanted 10
vote with the Democrats were almost afraid
10 do so from threats, and we are informed
from reliable quarter that in one district of
our county to-day they are held completely in
bondage and dare not depart from the trodden
path. Great pressure is now being brought
to bear upon those who have dared think for
themselves, but the 6rmness displayed by those
who have taken the departure shows they are
making an earnest endeavor for the advance
ment Of themselves and their country. And
we can tell our Republican friends that the
sentiment of this county will not submit to
any unfair means being used 10 drive these
colored men hack into their old harness. They
have the grand right of being their own mas
tiers and the Democracy will see to it that they
are protected in that right from the least
to the greatest privilege.

SINGULAR SCENE AT A FUNERAL.-Mrs. Wal
ter Dixon, of Patterson, N. j., died last Fri
day morning, and her body was placed on ice.
Monday, while preparations for the funeral
were going on, her husband suddenly began
TO embrace the body and joyfully exclaimed
that his wife was not dead, that her hand was
still warm. The face was of roseate tinge
and the two sons of the woman, sharing their
fathers belief,at once embraced the. body with
every expression Of joy. The physicians TOLD
them that the woman was dead beyond ques-
ton, that forty-eight hours packed in ice
would have killed her had she not been dead
before After much persuasion the husband
and sons consented 10 proceed with the cere-
mony. Mrs. Dixon, it appeared, had ex-
acted promise from her husband not to bury
her until he was absolutely certain that she
was dead. Al the grave he demanded 10 see
the body and the coffin was opened. After
feeling her hands and face he consented 10 the
burial, but turning away from the coiiiu he
fell to the ground insensible. The body was
buried and Mr.. D removed 20 his home. lie
is still of the opinion that his wife was buried
alive.
