SPECIAL NOTICES.

~ LIFE LET Us CHERISH. says all
mankind; but what Is life worth, when health
has flown forever? To suffer with disease. to
lie upon sick bed, to bear endless pains, to en-
dure the fortunes of fever, are in themselves
worse than death; for it it has been appointed
unto man once to die. 1t people could be in
duced to ATTACK all diseases on their first ap-
pearance, and to ply them regularly till exter-
minated, with proper remedies. the grave
would be robbed OF many victims, and human
life be lengthed to a good old age. Let our
readers. then, keep watch over their appetites
and digestion, and when either fail at once re-
sort to BAKERS BITTERS, the great purifier
of blood and restorer of strength.
These Bitters are peculiarly adapted to the
spring and summer diseases of the Southern
climate, and when taken according to direc-
lions, are sure cure for Dyspepsia, Diarrhoea,
sentery. Cramp Collie, Cholera Nor bus, Ague

and almost every other affection arising from
impurity of the blood and disordered stomach.
To those who have not tested the superiority of

A HANDSOME PIECE OF WoRK.-It is not nee

WINGED Of this fact if they will but step into the
new building Of the National Valley Bank, on

Counter put up by Messrs. II. ]. Lushbaugh &
Bro. In finish, beauty and substantially, it
will compare favorably with any work of the
kind in the country. A member of firm in
New York engaged speci lily in putting up
such work, after a careful examination, said
that his firm never thought of putting up such
q handsome piece Of work.

EXAGGERATED REPORTS OF THE ROBBERY
When we went to press last week. the report
that was current here in reference to the a.
mount taken by Chas. F. Hyde, Agent of the
Express Company at Berryville seems to have
been greatly exaggerated. The report then was
that he had taken package of $25. 600 intended
for the Bank at Berryville. How this report
which was given with particulars. was put in
to circulation we are unable to say. 1t seems,
however to have been without foundation, and
that he was indebted to the Express Company
not exceeding four or five hundred dollars
when he absconded. Its seems to have been q
case of embezzlement, and not OF direct robbery

Abate the Nuisance.

EDS SPECTATOR: sensible articles
have recently appeared in the columns of our
local papers calling the attention of the City
Council, and of the citizens generally. to the
fact that the Fair Grounds Lake is dangerous
nuisance, and one which menaces alike the
comfort and health of the community.
Every intelligent man recognizes the truth
of the position taken in those articles. and
there is a prevalent idea that somebody ought to
attend to the matter. The summer is coming
on apace, and there is little time for action. To
remove the water In very hot weather would
be to invite the ravages of fever. Upon the
Council. as the representative body of the citi-
zens, this duty naturally devolves. and I call
upon each member of that body, Individually,
to see that resolution is at Occe passed re-
questing the officers of the Fair Association to
abolish the Lake. In the event that they re-
fuse to comply with the request, the attorney
for the city should Immediately be instructed
to institute proceedings to abate the nuisance.
