She was cultured, intelligent and
highly respected young colored wo-

ease and left here year or 80 ago for
Cleveland, Ohio, where her brother
lived, with the hope of improving her
health, but her trip did not have the
desired effect, and death at last came
to her relief. The remains arrived

MED by the deceased sisters and BROTH
ers, were met with hesrse and con-
veyed to the church for the funeral.

The candidates for congress in this
district, Judge L. G. Houk, republican,
and Mr.. Thos. L. Williams, democrat,
met in joint discussion at MaryviIle
yesterday, and spoke to large crowd
of the sovereigns Of BIount county.
Through the kindness of General R.
n. Hood, president Of the Knoxville
and Charleston railroad, special train
went over, leaving about ten O'Clock.
A party of about $50 Knoxvillians,
friends of either candidate, avaied
themselves of the opportunity to hear
the discussion. They returned to the
city about half past five O'Clock yester-
day evening. From reports that W.
get the republicans were largely in the
ascendency in the crowd. and the
friends Of Judge Houk were entirely
satisfied with the result of the debate.
Edwin Freeman, of Norton, Mase.,
says: IT have suffered the most excru-
eating pain in my kidneys for years,
and physicians or medicine could not
relieve me until about three years since
commenced taking HUNTS REMEDY
L purchased a bottle at Bianding'-
Drug store IN Providence, and I took
the first dose there, and after using
one bottle I was free from all pain,
and although this was three years ago.
L have seen no trace Of disease, and
have not had to take any medicine
since. L believe HUNTS REMEDY to
be the best kidney and liver medicine
ever known, and l cheerfuliy recon-
mend it to all sufferers from this ter
rible disease"

DEs MONIES, Ia, May 7.-It seems somewhat
singular to read the report of the trial of B. F.
Allen. in the United States District Court for
Illinois, on an indictment for fraudulent tran-
sactions with the Cook County Bank, and find
him defended by lawyer who, In the
United States District Court for Iowa,
prosecuted him, and sought to establish
fraudulent transactions connected with the
Same Cook County Bank; and The Assignee Of
his bankrupt estate testifying in Illinois to the
good character Of the defendant, while in Iowa,
rs plaintiff in actions against Mr. Allen, he SO
far established the character of Mr.. Allen
as to force the Judge to say in open
court, in the presence of that gentle
1nnn, that his tA1lcn's) testimony was wholly
unworthy Of belief. It is barely pos
sible that Mr.. Allen possesses q dual char
acter which Is totally dissi1nfiar In Iowa
and Illinois; ieastwisc 3fr. Bisbee has put such
on record in tho courts Of tie two States,--
whether as an effort to subscrve the ends OF

knO1Ya not.
