DR., JOHN BULLS
Smiths Tonic Syrup
FOR THE CURE OF
fever and ACUE
Or CHILLS and FEVER.

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine
Justly claims for it superiority over all rem
edies ever offered to the public for the SAFE,
CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PERMANENT cure
ofAgue and Fever, or Chills and Fever, wheth-
err of short or long standing. Herefers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony to the truth Of the assertion
that in no case whatever will it fail to cure II
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 single bottle, with q per-
feet restoration Of the general health. 1t is,
however, prudent, and In every case more GER
tain to cure, II its use is continued in smaller
doses for week or two after the disease has
been checked, moro especially in difficult and
long standing cases. Usually this medicine
will not require any aid to keep the bowels In
good order. Should the patient, however re-
quire cathartic medicine, after having taken
three or four doses Of the Tonic, single dose
Of BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS
will be sufficient.
The genuine SMITHS T0NICSYRUP must
have DIR. JOHN private stamp on each
bottle DR. JOHN BULL only has the right to
manufacture and sell the original JOHN ].
SMITHS TONIC SYRUP, Of Louisville, Ky.
Examine well the label on each bottle. II my
private stamp is not on each bottle do not
purchase, or you will be deceived.

Jeremiah and his Horse.

Now the goodly city of Clarks-
vile was laid off in streets. And
the middle of the streets were set
apart for horses and wagons, and
10 much merchandise was hauled
along these same streets. But hard
by the walls of the houses there
were little by-ways made of brick,
and these were for the convenience
of such as walk. And moreover, it
sometimes happened that horses got
on these by-ways and much confus-
ion took place. So the elders OF the
city said, 500 to, let us pass a law
to arrest any man whose horse shall
get to-. near the walls of the houses"
And the law was passed according
to the laws of the Modes and Per-
slams which change not.
Now, jeremiah was high-priest OF
Southside, and his horse was named
Morgan. Now the good people of
Southside had fed Morgan till he
was like unto those horses which
neigh when they smell the battle
from affair.
And it came to pass on certain
day, even on the 18th of the month
of December that jeremiah was in
GAINESVILLE, and behold Morgan
paved the earth and thought scorn
! to keep his feet on the ground. And
Morgan got up on the by-way OPP
posite to the establishment of Cald-
well, whe is also called Samuel.
And 10 one Holleman made haste to
Law his hands on jeremiah and said,
you must go before the elders of the
CITY. jeremiah said he was very
sorry and offered to pay him money.
But HolIeman, who was set for the
defence of city highways, said !
may not tarry thus with thee, for
thou must go before the elders OF
the city. Then jeremiah went down
to his house heavy and sore per.
picked, for he had always been an
orderly man, neither could any
man on the earth say unto him thou
owest aught unto my account. AnC
the elders decreed that jeremiah
should pay into the treasury OF thu
city three pieces of silver.
Now jeremiah had certain gooC
: friends, as John of the house o
Neblett, who sat at the receipt o
custom, andRMacrae, a man VIII
r put out his money to the exchangers
E and Caldwell, otherwise called Sam
T, uel, who kept an inn for horses, ant
!, Henry, of the house of Pickering
y who dealt in purple and fine linen
4 These and some others came to tn
elders of the city and said jeremiah
e shall not pay the three pieces G
/ silver, for behold we will pay
} ourselves. Now the recorder of til
:, CITY was discreet man, and ha
a much kindness of heart, and he sal
r we will consider further of tn
a thing, and when the council of tn
70 elders shall assemble it may be thu
IS we will reverse the decree. And :
the matter standeth till this day.

On last Saturday morning, with
such fitting and impressive ceremo-
MES as became the OCCASION, the
mortal body OF Jas. Abbott, was
committed to its mother earth. No
funeral has occurred in our city for
many months that was, perhaps, 50
solemn and impressive IL this Of our
young friend. The obsequies were
held 1T the Catholic church, Of
which the deceased was ii devout
member, and were conducted by.
Rev. Fathers Gleeson, Calvin and
Abbott, the last-named being a
brother of the deceased, with the
beautiful service OF the sacrifice of
high mass.
As was expected, the G. c. G.s
turned out as an escort to their Ia
menfed colnrade. under the CONF
mand of Capt. f. NJ. Howard. They
Joined the coneourse Of sorrowing
friends at the residence of the de-
ceased, where, after passing in sin
gle file and viewing the body OF
their dead comrade, they fell in at
the head Of the funeral cortege,
marching with reversed arms and
In the slow, measured tread of the
dead march. After the ceremonies
at the church were over, the re-
mains were carried to the family
burial place in the city cemetery
and laid in their last resting-place
with full military honors. The
sad and sorrowing soldier-boys,
after the sacred rites of the
church were finished, fired
parting salute of three volleys
of musketry, and left their
sleeping comrade to await hesound-
ing of the reveille at the last day.
