Cummings made a diagnosis of the
first case, and went to one Of the lead
ing physicians Of the town at 2 o'clock
am, and told him hal he Gum
mings) feared he had a Ease of yellow
fever. This physician and all others
in town would not hear to it. DR..
Cummings, thinking he might be mis-
taken, consented to say that it was
probably a malignant form of malaria
fever, still insisting that it was proba-
bly, yellow fever. The first case was
that of a lady who had not been out

and then to attend the funeral of a
lady who died from a surgical opera.

ROUGH CASE
Brutality and Crime on the River


AS the steamer 0. W. Pierce was
on her way down the river last Satur-
day night, near Montgomery's Land
ing, Arkansas, some eighteen miles
below here, loud cries of murder and
calls for help were heard from a pair
Of fat boats apparently adrift in the
river. The Pierce rounded too, ran
alongside of the boats and found a
poor woman named johnson in a
pitiable condition, her three children,
the eldest about five years old and the
youngest at the breast budding
around and sympathizing with the in
jured woman who had just been raw
ished by six brutal and villainous ne
groes. The scoundrels had first shot
the woman's husband, three buckshot
having struck the back of his head
and stunning but not otherwise injur-
ing him. Thinking they had killed
their victim they completed their
work of deviltry, plundered the boat,
cut her adrift and went ashore leaving
the supposed dead man on the river
bank. Among the articles carried off
by the scoundrels was a rife, a shot
gun, and S62 in money. Captain
WATSON, of the Pierce, sent for the
wounded man, took the boats in tow
and left them at Lawhorn's Landing,
some distance farther down. A num-
Der of people in the vicinity had in
terested themselves in the matter and
were at last accounts endeavoring to
ind trace of the perpetrators of the
diabolical act. The six negroes were
seen from the approaching steamer
making their way to shore from the
fats in a skif with the wounded man,
The sympathy of all on board Of the
Pierce was aroused at the wretched
plight Of Mrs. johnson whose condl-
ton was extremely critical when the
boat left her. 1t is tc be hoped that
the villains will be hunted down.

Getting Mad at Butler.

Boston Herald.[
General Butler is an infamous dem
agogue, or, as Governor Andrew said
of him, "a id s~coundrel," to make
such demagogue appeals as he does to
the people he addresses. When he
says that no military company but the
Cadets would fire on workiugmen, he
suggests a ~falsehood, and encourages
violation of the laws. We trust any
company of our militia would obey
orders, and General Butler, an old
militia officer, is a dirty BLACKBOARD
when he suggests the contrary.

Illegal Issues,

A custom that prevails to a greater
or less extent among country merchants
throughout the state, is that of issuing
checks or due bills to the customers, in
payment for country produce or some
other article of value, to be redeemed by
them in goods This affords a convenient
medium of exchange, and seems like q
very innocent way of conducting business
between man and mao, but it is in reality
a violation of law On complaint Of AS
sistant District Attorney Roe. Commits
sioner Adams of Springfield, last Saturday
arrested J. R. jenkins, merchant Of
Rose Claire, Hardin County, for issuing
these bills. The law prescribes a penalty
as high as $500 against such issues, and
in addition, the person so offending may
be imprisoned for six months,-Peorid

SKIN DISEASE,
A Remarkable Letter from J. A. Tucker
ESQ.,, manufacturer of the Bay
State Superphosnhate.

Messrs. WEEKS & POTTER: Gentlemen,-I think
1.have paid for medicines and medical treatment
during the last twenty years all OF three thousand
dollars, without receiving any permanent relief
Last May while taking Turkish bath at IL Bea-
con ST., young man employed there by the name
Of VIM. Corbet induced me to allow him to apply
preparation thSt he had upon me, assuring me
that 1t was perfectly harmless, and for a certain
consideration he would cure me within thirty days
from the time he commenced. In case he failed to
do so was to pay him nothing. l consented and
he applied it nearly every day for five weeks, when
the disease entirely disappeared, livery cheerfuly
paid him the amount agreed upon, and then asked
him what this remedy was, and he replied that il
was no other than CUTCURA.
Since that time have had no trouble from this
disease, ana have not had such good health IL
| twenty years as have had during the last si1
months,
have since my recovery bought CUTIcURA and
given it to friends suffering with skin diseases anC
| in every instance it has cured them. ! believe j
to be the greatest discovery of the present century
J. A. TUCKER.
| 10 Doane st. Boston, Dec, 20, 1873.
| NoTE.-Mr Tucker is a well known citizen ant
has served the city in many important capacities
He is at present member of the Board of Alder
men. He is also well known to agriculturists ant
farmers as the manufacturer Of the celebrated Ba.
