The symptoms of an acute attack of infam- nation of the kidneys are as follows: Fever, pain in the small of the back, and thence shcot- ing dowward: numbness of the thigh vomiting, usually at first deep red. color of the urine, which becomes pale and coiorless as the disease increases and is discharged very often with pain and difficulty; costiveness and some degree of collie.

pr. John Bulls Smiths Tonic Syrup!
 FOR THE CURE OF Fever & Ague CHlLLS and FEVER.

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly claims for 1t superiority over all reme- dies ever offered to the public for the SAFE, CERTAIN and PERdANENT cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long standing. He refers to the entire West ern and southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in no case whatever will 1t fail to cure if the directions are strictly followed and carried out In great many cases single dose has been sufficient for cure and whole families have been cured by a single bottlet with Q perfect restoration of the general health. It is however prudent, and in every case more certain to cure If it's use is con tlnued in smaller doses for a week or two after the disease has been checked, more especially in difncult and long standing cases. Usually this medicine will not require any aid to keep the ever, require a cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonic, single dose of BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY FILLS will be sufficient.
 The genuine SMITHS TONIC SYRUP must have DR. JOHN BULLS private stamp on each bottle. DR. JOHN BULL only has the right to manufac- turc and sell the original JOHN J. SMITHS TONIC STRUT, of Louisville, Ky. Examine we'll the iaole on each bottle. If my private stamp is not deceived.

to sacrifice himself for Hancock and Eng
lish. This manly and patriotic sentiment
was loudly applauded.
rp CAPT. PAUL
was called for and made a short speech
appealing to his friends to stand by their
ticket. that they were in the majority and
would win, and saying that the gentlemen
who had spoken were there in the interest
of the Tunders and did not know anything
about the issues at stake in Virginia. Be-
ing pressed by individuals IN the crowd he
said he would acquiesce in the decision of
the conference committees of the two par
ties on the 18th.
Mr.. NJ. F.. White was loudly called
upon by the crowd, and soon after he
commenced speaking a.disturbance on the
outskirts of the crowd diverted the atten-
ton of his audience. An alteration be-
tween Judge Harris and a Harrisonburg
man named Skinner which resulted in an
exchange of blows and some violent Ian
guage occasioned great excitement. But
friends interfered before either party were
much hurt. With this the speaking for
the day closed and big day it was for
Harrisonburg and Rockingham.

A CAPITA L THING-THE BEST POCKET
POLITICAL REFERENCE YET ISSUED
THIS CAMPAIeN.-The B. q o. Red BOOK
just from the press of Knight q Leonard
of Baltimore, is very timely little work
indeed it is the handiest political textbook
issued this campaign. 1t is small, COM
pact, and readily carried in the hreaSt
pocket, the statistics of each state being
given in nutshell as it were. The vote
of each party for president in 1872 is noted,
followed by majority and electoral vote.
Then come the same figures as to the
latest election in the state for state officers
next the the legislature, and if U. $.
Senator is to be elected this winter such
fact is duly indicated. The result in each
congressional district is set forth, and in
foot notes digest Of districts is given.
which is of no little interest. Finally the
population of the state. in 1870 is shown,
with the total votes for president in 1872.
and the ratio Of this vote to the population
two years before. This is made the basis
of an estimate of the total vote of each
state this year, the figures given OF the
population of 1880 being from the latest
information derived from the Census Blu
reau, The figures throughout were COM
piled, and the results reached, by an old
and well known journalist, and are un-
questionably correct. The little work is
absolutely without partisan bias, and aside
from it's value as a reference book, is an
exceedingly elegant and artistic thing,
rejecting. no little credit upon the thor
oughness in detail and rare taste of its
progenitors. It is not on sale, but all who
desire copy may secure it by dropping
a postal to G. K. Lord, Baltimore, Md. 1t
is amply worth this little trouble. and
those prone to liking for political statis-
tics, as well as those finding such handy
little works valuable for reference. will
certainly not regret the asking for the B.
& o. Red Book.

Dedication Of a Methodist Church.

Dedication Of Methodist Church.
REPORTED for the Staunton vIND1cAToRl
One of the most pleasant meetings was
held last Sunday at the new Methodist
Church, Mount Olivet, near Addison
Pines. The occasion was the dedication
of the church by the Rev. Mr.. Kennedy,
formerly Of Stanton. He preached
very powerful sermon, and the writer OF
this never has seen congregation so well
pleased as they seem to have been on this
occasion. The church is in charge of Rev.
W. K. Marshall, and we think he is the
right man in the right place.
A collection was taken up, and $3.50 was
subscribed, and before the meeting closed
$50 of it was paid in. The neighborhood
is made up of the very best OF farmers,
and we hope and trust they will go on
with their work which has been so well
begun. W..
