a Touching Scene-Ehe Late Eel
der Knowles Shaw.

Columbus Independent
One of the saddSet scenes we ever wit
messed was ut the residence of the late Ell
der Knowles Shaw on Sunday night. By
request of the family, the ministration of
the Lords Supper was held there instead of
of at the church. DIR. Curtis delivered a
discourse upon the philosophy ofdeath, with
a beautiful tribute to the honored dead
Dr. Lipscomb offered up pathetic prayer
for the consolation of the living. There
were other sympathizing friends from the
various churches, and it was a cOmmingling
of Christian faith and sorrow we never want
to see again. The bereft household, consist
ing of father-in-law, wife, daughter and
son, together with Miss Leonora NOrri-,
left on the train tor Nashville, Indiana, the
next morning-"sorrowing most of all that
they should see his face no MORE"

The Laboratory Of the System.

The stomach Is the laboratory of the sys-
tenn, in which certain mysterious processes
are constantly going on. The result In the
production of that wonderful vivifying
agent, the blood, which i'm 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 manufacture is carried on
perfectly, the circulation grows thin and
sluggish, and the system suffers in conse-
quence. Moreover, indigestion reacts upon
the liver and bowels, rendering the first
sluggish and the latter conslipated. The
brain also suffers by sympathy, and sick
headaches, sleeplessness and nervous symp-
toms are engendered. Hostetters Stomach
Bitters reforms this state OF things, gives
permanent tone and regularity to the stom-
ach and its associate organs. the bowels and
liver, and ensures complete nourishment
and increased vigor OF the system. 1t is
tpe IL popular as well as the most eff
cient antldyspeytie and tonic in America.

Crystal Springs Correspondence.
The Fruit and Vegetable Crops
CRYSTAL SPRINGS, June II, 1873

CRYSTAL SPRINGS, June II, 1873
EDIToRs CLARIoN-The fruit business has
already commenced in good earnest. Chicago
drummers are getting more abundant, and
there is as much noise and business around
the depot as there is in the cotton season.
Agents, who represent commission houses
are busily soliciting fruit for their different
houses, the rumbling of trucks, the arrival
and departure of fruit wagons, altogether
present such lively appearance during the
dull and hot months, that it is refreshing to
behold, even if there was less money in the
fruit business than there is.
On Tuesday last, ear load of about 500
boxes, was shipped to Chicago, and about
400 to New Orleans, making altogether 1900
boxes On Friday, we had the largest ship
ment ofthe'season--nearly 100 boxes; about
1900 gong up the road. Two car loads could
have been readily shipped. Fruit growers
will ship all they can by the car load 1t is
a saving of over dollar on every hundred
pounds shipped. Good fruit now commands
81 90 per box in Chicago, and packers have
a gravitating tendency towards where they
command the best prices.
Those who shipped early potatoes to
Chicago were very much disappointed in
the prices. Some did not receive more than
enough to cover freight charges. Last year,
at this time, potatoes were selling for Two
and three dollars per bushel, but this year
they hSye been down very low. This has
been caused from the plethora of potatoes
which have been thrown upon the market
till now. 1t will have no diseouraging effect
on the vegetable grower, as this has been
very untavorable year for the growth OF
some vegetables, incessant rains and cold
winds i'm the spring; besides Southern Hi
nois is three weeks more forward than last
wear which, as soon as their shipments go
into market, ours must OPP.
During the last week incessant rains have
been very damaging to peaches. They can't
stand much moisture, which causes them TO
rot. Respectfully -

results before. Seeing their opportunity IN

their father. who is very strong and muscu-
lar. As Robert firmly cliHched and attempt
ed to pinon his arms from behind, John
produced the irons. The old man proved
too strong however, and wrenching loose
his right hand, drew keen, freshly sharp
ened butcher knife that he had concealed on
his person, aud reaching around, plunged
iC to the hilt in the left side of his son Rob-
ert, Just below the ribs. Robert gave a
deep gToan and sank to the fl DOR, eXclaim-

utes was a corpse. In the meantime the
father fled from the store without a word.
He was soon after arrested.

Letter from Senator 81. IL. ThOmp.
son.

EDITOR BROOKHAvEN LEDGER--My at
teution has been called to an article in the
Magnolia Herald in which iU is stated thai
it is currently reported in Jackson that |
said that | ''did not know of any lawyer in
South Mississippi whom | could recommend
to fill position on the Supreme Bench of
the State" | first heard of this article
through letter from a friend in Pike coun-
ty, and at once, before seeing the Herald,
wrote to its editor and asked that my COM
munication might be made public. | wrote
to him, and now say EN- phaticalIy, | did not
say anything of the kind, the charge is I'M
true.-If there is such a report current at
Jackson or elsewhere iU is false.
After the Senate failed to confirm Judge
Simrall, there was an informal meeting of
tie mem bers of the Legislature from the
Southern District for consultation on the
subject OF recommending an appointment.
There was much difference of opinion APP
parent among those present as to who
should be recommended
| spoke on the occasion, and said that
there was strong reason to believe that
Governor Stone had made up his mind to
appoint Gen. George; that if his appoint
ment came before the Senate it would GER
tainly be confirmed that we had men in our
District eminently qualified for the posi-
ton, but none more 50 than Gen. George;
that we were divided among ourselves as
to whom we should recommend; chat | was
of opinion that no man in the State would
give more general satisfaction if appointe ed
than Gen. George; that no appointment
would be more generally satisfactory, even
in the districts; that in my judgment the
condition did not require the Judges to be
one from each district; that if such were
the constitutional recurrence the contrary
idea had been acted upon that the appoint
ment about to be made, in fact, for the first
district, and not for ours, the second, and |
proposed the adoption of a resolution to the
effect that Gen. Georges appointment
would meet with our approval.
Nearly all those present seemed to take
the same view
After some further expression of opin-
ions the meeting came to close without
making any recommendation thus at
least actually acquiescing in what every
one believed would be done-the appoint
ment of Gen. George.
Yours truly,
