A good Baptist clergyman, of Bergen, N. Y., strong temperance man, suf- fered with kidney trouble, neuralgia and dizziness almost to blindness, over two years after he was advised that Hop Bitters would cure him, because he was afraid of and prejudice d against the word "bitters."

He is known in this city, Cincinnati, New Orleans, New York; in fact, all over the country. as he has spent thousands of dollars for rum. l honestly believe his card would be worth thousands of dol lars to you in this city and Baltimore alone, and make thousands of sober men by inducing the use of your Bitters:

THE wATER FREsHET.
How the River Outlook Appears.

At noon to-day the river level here
was two feet seven inches below ex-
treme high water mark, and nine
inches lower than it stood on the Sd
inst, when the level was within TWEEN
ty-one inches Of extreme high water
mark. The water at Cairo has been
swelling slowly for the past week, hav.
ing risen eighteen inches since Friday
last. 1t is, however, at this time,
more than two and one-half feet lover
than in stood at Cairo on the
18th Of last month, and uf-
til it reaches that level VIC need
feel no apprehensions that the water
will climb above the point it stood a
week ago. The rise here since yester-
day noon has been perhaps three
inches, increased doubtless by the
local rains aud Wolf river putting out
freely. We may look for n little swell
for some days to come, but the rain
storm Of last night appears to
have spent its force here, and the
.ignal service kilograms give no ac-
count of over an inch Of rain having
fallen at any point along the valleys
of the Tennessee, Cumberland aud
Ohio. At present the water level Of
the river is up to the top rim in many
places; in fact, almost everywhere,
above and below this port. Its prob
able hat it will remain so for some
time to come, but without a greater

BURGLARS
They Enter and Rob billiard.
Coffin a 90. of $50.

1t was a splendid time during the
dark and stormy hours of last night
to enter and plumber houses, and q
squad of burglars, evidently blacks,
forced their way into billiard aud
Collins grocery house, ON Front, get
ting some 81 in money and a pistol
worth a dozen dollars or such a mat
ter. Careful investigation this fore
noon has not disclosed anything else
as missing. The scamps worked their
way through q side window on Court
street, getting into the bookkeeper's
department, where a large safe is
situated, In the safe was several thou.
sand dollars worth of bonds and cash.
The burglars evidently worked at
the front door of the safe for some
time, trying to open the combination
and gain admittance, but, failing,
they tried every drawer of the desks,
scattered papers about promiscuously,
and spilled oil copiously. The print Of
a lantern bottom was visible on one Of
the desks, where it had
sat during their operations.
Finding no valuables in their inspec-
ton exercises, the burglars cut a hole
through the wooden door by which
the main store is entered. They drew
the lower bolt on the inside through
the hole they cut, pried the upper bolt
loose, and ransacked the main store
for valuables. No goods we're missed,
and the indications are that none
were taken.
In the front Office, however, was a
drawer containing 81 aud a pistol
this the scamps secured and carried
off.
All of this was done, with
out attracting the attention of
the police or passers by. The
hour at which they worked is un-
known, but in a place so open to view
from the streets, it seems strange that
they were undiscovered and that no
trace of who they were has yet been
a~scertained. There is q strong feel
ing among respectable people, hat
but one remedy remains to our eiti-
zens to save them from continued
depredations of thieves and
providers, aud that is summary
treatment. A prominent merchant,
cool and determined, yet Of moderate
temper and no advocate oil rashness,
said this morning that he would make
one of twenty-five persons to hang on
a lamp-post the first thief caught in
the act Of thieving, and he would
favor it being done on Court square,
so that it might serve to warn evil
doors Of what they may expect it ras-
c%alities do not cease. An eohoing
sentiment Of endorsement was ex.
pressed by several bystnnders.
Almost every night houses are en-
and plundcred by prowling
yagabonds, and even in broad day
ere taken from the very door
ways Of their owners, driven off for
sale to butchers and others, who are
to deal in stolen property. A
on the boulevard was ran
sacked a night or two since and $35 in
money carried off. Another was enter
ed nea the same time and place, but
dogs disturbed and drove them away.
There seems to be but little protec-
ton from the depredators, and unless
measures are taken by the authorities
TO rid the city and vicinity of suspi-
cious providers, patience is likely to

1t is now well understood that the
jury in the recent legal contest,
wherein DR.. Nuttall sued Ed. Correll
for medical attention while he was
under pay by the Howard association
during the fever season of 1873, were
divided, two favoring the Nuttall side
and ten in favor of the opposite, or no
pay side. A prominent merchant and
an equally prominent realty owner,
were the parties who stuck out stub
bOrnly in behalf of the plaintiff, and
they did it on the ground that Mr..
Correll did not come under the class
of those entitled to be recipients Of
