tic medicine that can be employed cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses Of one pill n day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than quarter of century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs Of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baillGd the best Of
human skill. While they produce power
ful effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not innamcd.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements Of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomcl
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-conting preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

The proceeds OF the concert held in City
Hall on Friday evening amounted to about
SIS. Owing to the inclemency Of the
weather, Wheeling was not largel y repre-
scented, and on account of Mrs. Cald-
wells illness, the programme could not be
followed exactly. The substitutes, how
ever, are pronounced by those who are
judges OF music to be excellent, especially
the Broken Pitcher sung BY Mrs. Whit
taker. The music was excellent, and our
people highly appreciate Wheeling's talent
in this direction. Father Gull informs us
that the proceeds are to go to the poor OF
Bcllaire, without reference to color, race or
religion.

THE INDIANS.

SUsANvILLE, Modoc County. CAL, July 5th.-
Eight families from Surprise valley have
just arrived in town. The Indians have been
within eight miles of the valley. They stole
stock and took the contents of the cabins The
friendly Piutes have warned the settlers that
the hostiles were coming to take the valley.
CAMP LESTER, Mouth of South Fork, John
Day River, July 5th.-The folio owing is official;
The hostiles crossed the John Day river near
this point Sunday, June Both. They are now at
work IN Fox valley 1t is probable the hostiles
will cross Snake River near the mouth of
Grand Ronde river and keep on their journey
under cover of the forest of Blue Mountain
Ihe country through which the troops have
followed them from Cape May to this place is
the most rugged imagin ,ble. If Wheaton has
received the orders sent him he will be ready
with all his force to encounter the hostiles as
they emerge from the mountains. Citizens
state That IN an encounter with the Indians on
Saturday, June 29th, one man was killed, and
on Sunday the Indians murdered two men in
this valley and burned three horses. Bernard
pressed them SO hard that they had not time
to depredate any further. Howard will move
slowly to give Wheaton time to get into
position. Every exerton has been made but a
pack train is not obtainable and wagons were
brought over mountains, rugged and precipi-
eous ana deemed inapassable. The foot troops
marched 30 miles over this rugged country
today There will be no fighting for some
days, not till Wheaton is ready to intercept.
WASHINGTON, d. G., July 5.-The acting
commissioner of Indian affairs has received q
letter from Agent Simmons of Colvlle, Wash
iEgton Terri cory, agency, which under date of
= une 10th reports after thorough investga-
ton that the reported disaffection among the
Okanogon Indians is without foundation.
