Rev. Sylvanus Cobb thus writes in the
Boston Christian Freeman: We would
by no means recommend any kind of
medicine which we did not know to be
good-particularly for infants. But of
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup we can
speak from knowledge; in our own family
it has proved blessing indeed, by giving
an infant troubled with collie pains, quiet
sleep, and its parents unbroken rest at
night. Most parents can appreciate these
blessings. Here is an article which works
to perfection, and which is harmless for
the sleep which it affords the infant is per-
fectly natural, and the little cherub awakes
as bright as button" And during the
process of taething, its value is incalcula-
BILE. We have frequently heard mothers
say they would not be without it from the
birth of the child till it had finished with
the teething siege, on any consideration
whatever. Sold by all druggists. 25 cents

The Census Bill.

The bill is lengthy and scumbrous
to read, and must be studied, but SO
many persons misunderstood its pro-
visions that we will here summaries
its leading points.
The Department Of the Interior
under Carl Schurz, has charge Of the
whole affair, except that the 'Presi.
dent dominates and the Senate con.
forms the supervisors Of the States
These may be one or mere. In the
cases we are most interested in, there
will probably be 3 for Tennessee and
4 or S for Virginia. Say one fol
East Tenn. and one for So. w. Va,
These supervisors are to lay off the
various counties in their Districts,
into sub Districts Of not more thar
1000 inhabitants as per census Of 49,
70, and to appoint one enumeration
for each such sub Dist. of 1000 Oh
less. This county will have .f0e such
enumerators, say one for Goodson,
Abingdon, and Saltville Township:
each, and one for Norfolk and Kin
derhook, and one for Glade Spring
and Holston. raI
These Enumerators must begir
their work on the 9TH day of June.
1880, and complete it on or before
the goth day same month"; period
of al working days.
Their compensation for any lDist
east of Colorado, will be sum no
executing four collars for each day o.
ten hours actually employed, which
cannot exceed sS4, or 81 for each o.
he al days to which they are limited
If less than the al days be employed,
they are allowed certain fees, which
shall not aggregate more than tn,
SS4. .l
The supervisors get $500 each.-
In our opinion none Of the appoint
ments are very desirable under thi'
bill.

readiness to surrender, saying one
of their party had been killed.
John Cox, the proprietor .of the
