Symptoms Of Diseased Liver.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the
l edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tte and sickness; the bowels in gen.
eral are Costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss of mem
ory, accompanied with a painful SEN
saton of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
a slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, vet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he disnusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

FOUND DYING.

At about l::O o'clock on the morn
ing Of the 18th ult., Il man was found
by the night watch at Gullett's Fac
tory, lying near the side track at that
depot. He was taken to the factory
store. and it was seen that his fore
head had been crashed. He was given
all the aid possible, hut died after
several hours Of great suffering. The
Coroner being informed. held an in
quest over the body, and after hear
ing the testimony Of several residents
of the place and other persons, gave
AZ their verdict that deceased was
Emile Baime, a FrenchmaD, who has
been for II short time in this neighbor-
hood f; and that his death was caused
by blows on the head, delivered by
some unknown person while said de-
ceased was being elected from South
bound extra freight train, which had
left the spot where deceased had lain,
some Is minutes before he was found.
Under this verdict \ warrant was
obtained for the arrest Of the conduc-
tor and a brakeman Oh said train, and
they were taken in custody by the
sheriff. But the grand jury, to whom
the case was reported, thought the
evidence insufficient to Justify an in
dictment for murder, and the accused
were released.--Amite City Indepen-

THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION.

Speaker Radall says things seem
to have in for the Republicans
Their victory in Ohio following
that in Maine will give the Republi-
cans throughout the country so much
of hope, that we may look for sharp
fight in our own State, and they pro-
pose here to make it the best they
can. They have nominated for Gov
ernor the Hon. Taylor Beattie, of
Lafourche, perhaps the only man in
their ranks whose personal character
is not open to serious charges.
Judge Beattie must know, for he is
a man of intellect and a politician of
more than ordinary sagacity, that the
day has passed when a man, nomina-
ted by the crowd who put him up,
can be governor of Louisiana. If we
rightly divine this purpose, it is this
to organize his party for the Grant
campaign and make as good race as
possible for Governor, then turn
around and he elected to Congress
from the Third District and, in the
eventofa Republican being continued
in the White House, to control the
Federal patronage in Louisiana and
to a great extent, throughout the
South.
This he might do and perhaps wants
to debut be Governor of Louisiana
for the next four years after January,
the fates have given to Louis A.
Wilt. That is settled.-Lafayette

mons, q sOur-natured individual, liv-
ing about three miles from Covington,
informed his wife that he was going
into the country to work on = sugar
plantation, and wonld probably be
gone some time. As he would need .
little money while he was gone, he
proceeded to convert all his worldly
goods into ''ready cash. he would
also have sold the homestead, but it
happened to belong to his wife; he
then bought 4 horse with another
mans note, which had been placed
in his hands for collection; he also
bought buggy from Mr.. I.osset, in
Covington, part cash and part on time
long time. Having completed his
preparations, lie started on his jour
ney but he halted at the residence
Of his sister-in law long enough for
her to jump into the buggy, and that
is the last that has been heard Of
either of them. It is supposed that
they are now somewhere in Living
ston rish--probably both have
gone to work on the same cougar
plantation."-St. Iammnny Farmer.

(City Item.]
We have been favored with the fol-
lowing dispatch touching the opening
Of the Republican State canvass:
BATON ROUGE, Oct. %, 1879.
w. L. McMillen, New Orleans, La:
The mass meeting here was grand
success; about three times as large as
the Wilt meeting. Beattie's speech
was unanswerable and very favorably
received. He spoke two hours. and
was enthusiastically cheered by white
and colored. Kennedy and Burwell
gave complete satisfaction. Appro-
pirate resolutions were passed. Be-
attic is perfectly satisfied with bis
meeting here. The party is in good
spirits. b.
The truth is that the meeting was
called for 10 o'clock, when owing to
the scarcity Of listeners it was post
poned till 2, when not over two hum
bred people gathered around the
stand. Many Of these were Demo-
Gratis who had come to hear what the
scallawagian canvassers had to say.
Quite a discrepancy between the facts
and the statements contained in the

HORRIBLE MURDER.

A passenger who came in on the
Monroe stage last Monday, reports
the horrible murder of a white woman
at the toll-bridge between Vienna
and Trenton. She was found Sun
day morning with her throat cut,
skull broken and several stabs on
her body. The murderer had thrown
her from the bridge after committing
the fiendish deed. The woman left
on the Saturday previous to visit a
neighbor, and not returning her hus-
band instituted search for her Sun
day morning, finding her as above
stated. A Mr.. Owen passenger on
the stage, was arrested and taken
back as a witness he being the second
person who saw the woman Sunday.
We learn that the murderer was a
white man who lived in the neighbor-
hood, and that he has since been
caught.-lfinden Democrat.

We learn that William Henderson
(well known in this vicinity as Peg
leg Henderson, was shot and killed in
Amite City on Tuesday evening last
by one Kicks, a saloon-keeper. From
what we could learn about the bloody
affair, it appears that difficulty
sprung up between the parties over q
game of cards, when an offensive cpl
tibet was applied to Kicks by the de-
ceased, whereupon he drew his re-
volver and shot him dead. Report
has it that Kicks emptied two barrels
Of his weapon into the body of his
victim after he had fallen to the
ground. It is said that both were un-
der the influence of liquor at the time
of the sad occurrence. Soon after
committing the deed Kicks escaped to
the woods, but was promptly followed
up and arrested by the Sheriff. So
much for whisky and cards, and the
reprehensible habit of carrying dead
ly weapons. GrecnsbMrg Gazette.
