"YOu Recka.o

We are told by our friend John F. Halle that medicinal and healing waters have been recently discovered within a mile of Dover, the county seat of Pope. A beautiful spring breaks out near the base on the north side of what is called the White Oak or Eubanks mountain, in plain view of the court house and remarkably accessible and convenient at all seasons of the year, which is des- tined at no distant day to supercede many of the springs now resorted to for tho restoration of health and life giving vigor. Mir. Halle informs us that his wife has been quite low for some time and under treatment Of the best physicians of the country and that he had been advised to use the water from this as he calls it "Youreka" spring and that 1t has so far worked like charm that its use by his wife has superseded the use of all medicine and acts so efficaciously and pleasantly upon the system that he has great hopes of his wife's early restoration to health par ties have commenced to use it for the cure of sore eyes. It seems to have caused much excitement In the community as to it's healing powers and a number are using it with prospect of it's becoming ono of the Meccas and fountains of health for old Pope. and which we earnestly hope and trust will prove as beneficial and health restoring as anticipated.

Jail Delivery at Ozark.

From deputy-sheriff J. ". Quinn, of l this place, who returned home Tuesday from Ozark, we learn of a jail delivery at that place Monday night by which James Holland and William Casey, charged with being accessories of tho murder of Burgess James in ell coun- ty about two years ago, and horse theft, name unknown, made good their escape. It will be remembered that about month ago, Helphrsy. who murdered Burgess James Ut the inssi- gation of Holland and Casey, escaped from the same jail, and every effort so
 far to capture him has been futile. The
 prisoners in another compartment of
 the iai. at Ozark, say that the jail
 guard released the prisoners Monday
 right of his own accord, and as he IS
 now gone, 1t is presumed he went away
 with them. The affair is greatly to be
 deplored, and will reflect in no eavia-
 ble light uponths Sheriff of Franklin county, however innocent he may be.
 When such things occur, it is we'll to pause and reflect upon the uncertainty of legol punishment when money and
 bribe taking officers are ready to defeat the ends of justice. Is it possible that mob violence must be rcsorted to to rid the country of the increasing number of desperadoes which the laws and peace officers seem powerless to dispose of? We are no advocate of such pro ceedings, but if it must be done as a dernior resort the sooner it is known the better.

The meeting of the State Temperance
Alliance with the members of the Legis-
lsure on Wednesday night last was an
occasion when everybody seemed to be
pleased. J. A. Fulton, Esq, read and
explained his bill asking for Local Option.
/. proposes a law in which the majority
of tie legal voters of the county shall by
petition ask the Court for license, or, by
an election held the first Tuesday in May.
Rev DR.. Caldwell it is said surpassed
himself in his eloquent Indictment of the
liquor traffic and its evils and in setting
forth our duty in relation to it; and the
Rev's c. Huntington and A. w. Light
bourne likewise made very effective adj
dresses. There are conditions in the bill
as drawn by Mr.. Fulton that are consid-
cred impractical, viz: that no two persons
could be found in any country who would
be willing to swear to the hand writing Of
a majority of the voters of the county,
and second, the constitutional bugaboo Of
putting it to a popular vote. There need
be no hair splitting legislation to meet
the popular demand on this subject. The
object sought can be easily obtained by
an amendment to the present local option
law, viz: where the present law leave:
the granting of a license and sale o.
liquor TO the option of twelve men, strike
out the twelve and insert in its place g
majority Of the voters. This would BIZ
both constitutional and democratic.
