The parent of insomnia or wakeful-

peptic stomach. Good digestion gives
sound sleep, indigestion Interferes with
it. The brain and stomach sympathize.
One of the prominent symptoms OF a
weak state of the gastric organs is a
disturbance of the great nerve entire

great center. A most reliable medicine
for the purpose is~Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which ia far preferable to min

which, though they may for q time ex-
eIt soporific 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 re-

FROM Ell PAso.-The news from the
upper Rio Grande breathes war, and
the demand for saddles promises to be
great. All the Texas rangers and good
riders generally prefer Stills improved
malleable iron saddle tree fork to any
other. The advantages of this valuable
improvement, which took the premium
at the State fair, consists in dispensing
with the wooden fork usually used, aud
substituting malleable IRON of great
strength and utility. We guarantee the
strength of this fork to be greater than
that of wood, and In all cases where they
fail to stand fair test The purchasers
money will be refunded or a wooden
fork substituted. We invite all the
stock men to give US call as we are
the only saddle-tree makers in Austin.

TERRoRIsM IN KERR CoUETY-VIo-
LATIoNs OF THE LAW, AND THE MOB
HEADED BY THE SHERIFF.-A gentle
man from Kerr county informs US that
terrorism prevails at Kerrvllle, the
county seat. The sheriff, one Hamer,
and two of his deputies, Henson and
Farr, are on trial and have been be-
fore the county court since December,
charged with various ofenses, by IN
dIctments found by the grand jury al
the last term OF the district court of
Kerr county, in September last. All
of the indictments and informations
fled against these men grew out OF the
falsely charging, arresting and contln-
ing q man last August, accusing him
with an attempt to break into the Jail
with the intent TO release the prisoners
therein confined. The facts were de-
veloped before the grand jury, that
this Hsmer and his deputies had found
q man travelling through the country
that they took to be tramp; that they
made him 30 drunk be could not stand
and then took him up bodily at late
hour of night and placed him in Jail,
and the next morning lodged a COM
plant against him, that he had at
tempted to break jail the night before.
There the matter rested for a month
when the grand jury met and in
getting at the facts, ascertained that
the whole thing was conspiracy to
deprive the man of his liberty, his
horse and other property, and to Sc
cure the $500 reward offered by the
Governor for the apprehension of Jail
breakers-the property and award to
be equally distributed among the par
ties to the nefarious crime. As we
have said, the grand jury liberated the
prisoner and indicted the sheriff and
his deputies, the indictments all being
for misdemeansrs, having overlooked
bringing one for perjury until after
their adjournment. The good citizens
felt terribly outraged, and made up
good purse and employed Judge W.
w. Martin. OF Blanco, to prosecute the
rsscals. The county clerk, one Nc
Farland, and the county Judge are
said to have been upon the side of
these men, and to have thrown every
conceivable obstacle in the way of the
prosecution. Hamer, backed up by
crowd of whisky drinkers, has repeat
eddy threatened the life of the man he
so maltreated, that of Judge Martin,
of Mr.. Ward, the editor and proprie-
tor of the FrontiersmGH, published at
Kerrville, and of other good men, and

expected hourly. The good people
