in the case Of the row between the

the Supreme Court. Judge Clark rem

'NThis proceeding is an informal one
and was had for the purpose of ascer-
tanning whether or not there were suffi
cient grounds to warrant this court in
ordering charges to be preferred under
the statute against Gov. Brayman for
conduct unbecoming a member of this
bar. It's object was to ascertain first
whether any foundation existed for the
alleged delinquencies before making the
more formal charge.
The committee to whom these matters
were assigned performed their duty
honestly and we'll, and, as We believe,

The Parent of Insomnia.

The parent of insomnia or wakeful-
ness is IN nine cases out of ten dyspep-
tic stomach. Good digestion gives
sound sleep, indigestion interteres with
it. The brain and stomach syrnpathize.
One of the prominent SYMPTOMS Of a
weak state of the gastric organs is dis
turbance of the great nerve entrepot
the brain. Invigorate the stomach, and
you restore equilibrium to the centre
A most reliable medicine for the pur
pose is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which is far preferable to mineral soda
tives and powerful narcotics which,
though they may for time exert So
porifc influence upon the brain, soon
cease to act, and invariably injure the
tone of the stomach. The Bitters, on
the contrary, restore activity to the
operations of that all important organ,
and their benefcent influence is REJECTED
in sound sleep and a tranquil state OF
the nervous system. A wholesome I'M
petus is likewise given to the action Oh
the liver and bowels by its use.

taken sick in his cabin near Walla

poisoned. He soon died. A post NOR !,

Aggrieved.
LEWISTON FEB, 18th 1878

Mr.. EDIToR:-I seldom write for
newspapers. But | have suffered a
burden that induces me to make it
known to the public. I am literally
turned out of doors. In March last |
moved on to land claim north of this
place. No one was there when I went
upon it, nor was there any evidence
that any one had been upon it before
me. / caused to be ploughed 60 acres
Iesowed it with wheat, oats, fax and
planted a garden, all with the expecta-
ton of reaping some benefit for MY la
Tor. But my hopes were blasted. The
Indian war broke out, and it was not
safe for my family to remain there, SO
we left cooking and parlor stoves, bed
ding &C., in our house and moved into
town for safety. My cattle, horses,
hogs and chickens were all left at my
land claim and from time to time my
son, grandson and myself would 60
out and look after them. Soon after
our moving into town Mr.. jacobson a
single man came and notified in the
Land Office on part OF my claim. He
could take his blankets and stay there
night or SO at time, and thus fulfil
the law as it appears, and then return
to the settlements or fort up for protec-
ton. learning this went to the Land
Office to notify on what had left, and
| found that some years before it had
been filed upon as homestead by a
party who had left the country, but I
could not notify upon it until notice
had been published to the absent home
steader, and an abandonment officially
declared, and was advised to hold on
awhile till could notify on both eight
les, and so | waited, and while waiting
another man, Norwegian, took the
80 not notified upon.
Mr.. Shrieve had a 100 acres Just
west of me, a Mr.. Kelly took 80 acres
OF that and part Of my ploughed land,
and he and some other man who took
.he remainder of my ploughed land are
now contending for that so that | am
out of all my claim and my improve
ments and have not dollar in return.
1t is grievous to me to know, by so sad
experience, that we have men in the
country who will take such advantages
of an old man who has made the i'm
provements | have made, and showed
such good faith and intentions as I
have shown in this case. But they are
here and | am the sufferer by their tax
ing technical advantage of me. I
am fifty-nine years old and have poor
encouragement to make another attempt
to improve new claim. 1 think this
is one of the best countries | ever was
In. Excellent climate and soil, and
good prospects before it, and my advice
TO those seeking for homes is to come to
this country, but to beware of men who
will jump your lands.

THE LEXINGTON CADETS IN THE
BATTLE OF NEW MARKET.

In published extract from James Gun
ningham's forthcoming vo+dme entitled
"West Virginia in the War" appears the
following, which contains a meritorious re.
port, from q Federal standpoint, of the gallant
participation of the youthful Virginia Cadets
in the famous battle of New Market:
AT prompt l o'clock the Confederate skir-
mshers advanced and opened fire, the Fed
eral skirmishers falling back, and few min
utes later the Confederate line of battle IN
which were conspicuous!y seen the Lexing.
ton Cadets with their institute colors waving
over them, all boys from ii to is years of
age, going for the first time into battle, came
into view about mile distant. The line
was oversa mile long, and they marched
steadily and quickly forward, keeping we'll
dressed west to east, aud every few seconds
giving utterance to the we'll known sRebel
yell"
The Federal batteries waited until the dis
tance between the opposing lines were
duced to less than half mile, and then all
at once opened Ere. The first round appeared
to stagger themi but they quickly rallied, i,
corrected the confusion, and charged straight
for the batteries, in the meantime pouring in
close aud concentrated fire. The Federal
guns now opened upon them with grape and
canister, and the infantry began to pour in
its musketry fire and in few moments one
of the closest and most determined battles of
the war, according to the numbers engaged,
was under headway.
1t was observed that the Con federatcs
made but one charge in this battle. and that
was the first. The most heroic efforts on the
part of the Federals could not break the i'm.
petus of this charge. The Confederate line.
it is true, halted several times, but only to
pour in roore concentrated muskctry fire
The artiilerymen of Carlin's battery fitted
through the smoke and fame of their guns
like demons, while at every discharge of their
pieces, the earth would quake. and immense
gaps would be torn in the Confederate lines
but they would close them up again with
military precision, the living stepping into
the places Of the dying and the dead. and
once more march on, while high above all the
roar and craze of the fight could BE- heard the
shriI rebel cry Of the Lexington Cadets
Fully one third of these brave boys were
killed or carried from the feld severely
wounded.
