WEST FAIRLEE, VI, Jan. II, 1871.
Dear Sir-For seven or eight years past have
very feeble. My health continued to decline, and
my flesh and strength wasted away until was I'M
able to work, even 60 up stairs without great
haustion. suffered from frequent and distressing
attacks of palpitation Of the heart, my food dis
tressed me- causing acidity and pain in the stomach
and suffered from extreme nervousness, constpa.
ton, and debility OF the system generally, my blood
being thin and poor and sluggish in circulation, and
was for years suffering all the tortures OF con-
firmed dyspeptic. About six months since con-
cluded would try a bottle of PERUVIAN SYRUP,
chased five bottles more, and have continued the
use of the SYRUP until quite recently. 1t has re-
stored my health to such an extent that feel my
self as good as new. My digestion is good and my
weight has increased in the past four months from
100 to 1888 pounds; my strength has returned, and
my general health is thus wonderfully improved and
can truly say owe it all to the use of PERUVIAN
SYRUP. 1 earnestly recommend all sufferers from
dyspepsia and debility to give it trial. hoping it will
do them as much good as it has me.
Yours very truly, MRS. S. b. BEM1S.

FEDERAL COURT AT ABINGDON, Va
The spring term of the District Court at
Abingdon closed on Saturday last, after a
session of two weeks. A vast amount of
business was transacted, although, owing to
the disorganization in the Marshals office,
arising from the change in officers, and the
want of time for the new Marshal to re- organ
ize,a large number Of processes returnabr to
the term were mot executed.
The Grand Jury was il session orr days
only. yet broughtin about sixty Indictments,
principally for violation of the revenue laws.
There were two indictments for counter
feiting coin, and one for the violation OF the
Act based upon the Nth Amendment, re-
ported against Mr.. John Asa Brown, prom
inent citizen of Wythe county. Owing to the
absence of an assistatant District Attorney,
the Criminal docket was much delayed, and
large number OF cases that would otherwise
have been tried, were continued in some
cases leaving the parties in Jail at the ex-
pense Of the Government, and in others
baling them, at the risk OF the forfeiture OF
their recognizance at the next term. Not
outstanding this unfortunate state of thing,
some 80 cases on the criminal docket were
tried, resulting in 81 convictions, and the
remainder dismissed or acquitted, leaving
! some $50 cases on the docket.
The Civil Docket Of The Court is also very
heavy, but not very much was dore, owing
| TO the failure to serve process. Doubtless,
| if the Marshals are active and successful
| during the vacation, the fall term at Abing-
| don WILDE of long duration, and fruitful Of
results in the clearing OF the heaviest docket
| ia the District.

EXCURSION AND LAWN PARTY.-About
eight hundred colored people from Staun-
ton and Augusta county, aud Charlottesville
and Athena rle county, had an excursion to
and lawn party at Waynesboro ON the 10th
inst Everything passed off very pleasantly
until about one o'clock, when the train for
Staunton was in readiness to leave. A few
young white men were guilty of the impro-
priety of trying to force themselves through
the car, and were resisted by those in charge
of it and who had leased and paid for it..
The cool and deliberate action of a number
of the older of the co!ored mens and some
of the citizens of Waynesboro, prevented
serious disturbance. Several persons were
injured by the throwing of stones; pistols
were drawn and snapped, but no great dam
age resulted. The Tribune attributes the
entire blame of the disturbance to the young
men in question, whose names it does not
mention. The Tribune says that the col
ored people certainly did mol interrupt any
one, and they ought not to have been inter-
rupted." It further says, 'sthe managers
deserve great credit for their energy and
perseverance in the mana cement OF the
affair'-that is, the lawn ps.rty-and con-
siderable sum was realized for the benefit OF
the Baptist Church (colored) of that place.
