FINE CUTS.

We are having a superabundance of wet weather just now, and it is like Iy to throw the farmers in the weeds and grass.
 There is no mistake about it, Will son is offering goods mighty low for cash; go and examine for yourself.
 Major Quesenbury and Mrs. Lillian Rozelis Messenger have both signified their willingness to comply with the wishes of the State Press Association and read poems at the meeting in July.
 Our most grateful thanks are here by rendered to Mrs. G. k. Burncy for her goodness in remembering us with a dish of most delicious strawberries grown in her garden.
 R. J. Wilson's cash prices are giv- ing general satisfaction.
 -EARLY.-Mr. John Battenfield of Dover township was in town Saturday and he informed us that he had plowed his corn over the first time and had q fine stand of cotton already up. This is very early indeed. He also inform ed us that his wheat Is very fine.
 We observed quite number of Dover people in town Saturday. Among the number Capt. Scott, MT. D. F. West and lady, MT, Harry Poynter, Prof. Mcintosh, and Misses Hallie Rankin and Mary James.
 R. J. Wilson is offering great in- dueements to cash buyers; give him a call.
 R. B. Potts has the past week re- ceived additions to his stock, consisting of ladies dress goods, fans, parasols buttons, &e., in all the latest styles He soliclts from the ladies an inspec- ton of his goods before purchasing elsewhere.
 Mrs. James Potts will please accept many thanks for good will shown tho DEMOCRAT by the act of handing us the name of q new subscriber and the nee. essary quid pro quo to insure the regu- lar weekly visits of the paper to an other family for one year.

 NEWS OF THE WEEK.
Thursday. April l

Thursday, Aprll lo.
 The disgusting episode of another of those disgraceful wraugles which are often brought about by members indulging in personal remarks occur ed to day in the House. The partlc- ipants were Messrs. Durham and Foster.
 In the Senate Garland called up the bill supplemental to the act of March 3, 1877, in relation to the Hot Springs Commissioners. The bill was passed. The bill authorizes the President to appoint three Com missioners, to hold their offices for one year, to have the same power as the Commissioners authorized by the act of March 3. 1877, to deter mine claims presented under that act, which IS continued in force, and appsopriates the uncxpended balance of $500 to continue the work of the Commission.
 The bill for'the repeal of the bank rupL law which passed the Senate a few days ago is to be put upon its passage in the House as soon as it is reached on the Speakers table.
 The foreign news IS not of such a character as to allay all anxiety yet in regard to the Eastern troubles. Arrangements are still hanging On hand fora Congress and it is thought that the arrangement will yet be brought about. Meantime both England and Russia are preparing for the worst by equipping and plac- ing on war footing their armies.

 J. Y. Hale. our excellent friend and mercnant of Liberty Mill, has moved to Dover. Friend Hale, if you do not succeed in Dover come back, and the fatted calf shall be slain.
 Scotville Is very young, and should she become enamored and welded to the court house, as we truly hope she will, we hope to see all the marks of modcsty and virtue depicted in her countenance, so much so that the the groom will feel proud of his choice. We have not been bothered with can didates here. Would say to c. Howell if you expect any support from Liberty you had better advertise in the DEMO- GRAF. We are all Democrats up here, and would say to all who wish to rep resent the dear people, you had better let the DEMOCRAT tell it.
 Spring fights set in; Sam Walker and Mart Linton the chief actors in the drama. Sam got the best of it, so the boys say, and he reported to Squire Frier and paid over the skads; $5 is the price for fighting here. We have not learned the cause of the difficulty, they are brothers-in-law, and perhaps some family brawl. We are sorry to have such things to report from Scott vile.

 The proceedings of Congress to- day have been unusually dull and devoid of anything of interest or inn portance. The Senate bill increas- ing the pension of Gen. James Shields from $50 to $50 per month was called up in the House and after being amended'so as to make it S100, was passed.
 t0 The House Committee on Indian Affairs agreed to MT. Gunte's bill providing for the payment of arrear- ages of interest due the Chickasaw Indians, amounting to-$222,000. The foreign news to. day is meager and lends no new aid in solving the problem of the Eastern trouble. Russia seems willing and ready to discuss the San-S Stifano treaty but will defend it's stipulations even to the bitter extremity of the sword.

On the brow ofthe hill beyond the "Rhine,'
one sees the dwelling of Bartlett Tripp,

will be, when finished, one of the finest re-
sidences in the territory. About half q
mile distant and to the right, towers the
fine new residence of Commodore Coulsop.
a structure unsurpassed for beauty and fam:
ily conveniences. This dwelling will be
finished in q few DAYS and the steamboats,
of the courteous commodore may be plain
" distinguished at all times from the com
modious and artistically furnished lookout,
and "old glory be seen flying from the
flag staff gracefully set thereon. Lower

springing up with mush room speed while

Being purely vegetable no harm can arise
from their use. In intrinsic value and
curative powers no other Pills can be
compared with them and every person,

action the whole machinery oflife. Mild,
searching and. effectual, they are specially
adapted to the needs. of the digestive APP
