The Laboratory of ,be svs,,,n.

The stomach is the laboratory of the system, in
which certain mysterious processes are constantly
going on. These result in the production of that
wonderful vivfyiDg agent the blood, which in a state
of health rushes laden with the elements of vitality
to the remotest parts of the system. But when the
stomach is semi-paralyzed by dyspepsia blood man
utacture is carried impertectly, the circulation
grows thin and sluggish, and the system suffers in
consequence. Moreover indi geston reacts upon the
liver and bowels. rendering the first sluggish and
the latter constipated. The brain also suffers by
sympathy and sick headaches sleeplessness and ner-
yous symptoms are eDgendeIed. Hostetter's Stom-
ach bltters reforms this state Of things, give per-
manent tone and regularity to the stomach and its
associate organs. the bowels and liver and ensures
complete nourishment and increased vigor of the
system. 1t is the most popular as well as the most
efficient anti-dyspeptic and tonic in America.

AN UNACCOUNTABLE MURDER
Yesterday morning Jas. BIlbrew,
cOlOred, living on Mr.. James Smiths
place. was arraigned before Justice
Van Vacter on a charge of murders
ing his wife. We give the affair as
he confessed it. Some four weeks
ago there was disagreement be-
tween the parties, and the wife left
the husband. Nothing occurred
between them until yesterday morn>
ing, tabout z o'clock, when both
parties were in the field hoeing.
The wife stated to Jim that she had
learned that the night previous he
had threatened to kill her, and if
this was true he had better do it at
once, and with these words extended
the hoe with which she was working
and cursed him, adding that if he
did not kill her she would kill him.
He thereupOn struck her blow Oh
the head. She ran off few steps
and returned, repeating her threat
to kill him if he did not kill her, and
telling him that he had better finish
his work. He again struck her o
severe blow ON the head with the
hoe which felled her to the ground.
The strangest part Of the whole
transaction is that Bilbrew immedi>
ately came to town and gave himself
up. He says he came to submit to
the law. He gave this entire account
in cool and deliberate manner. lie
does not seem to realize his position
and appears utterly Indifferent as to
the consequences of his act: The
w0tffah's father reported her as
breathing her last when he left hoIre
to attend the trial.
