$4,000: due to newspapers throughout the
country about $4,000, which with some mis-
celaneous debts make the total liabilities
about sl15,OO0. As to the assets it was said
that there is S3 500 in bank, against which
there are claims for $1,000. The stock OF
books on hand at list prices was SIC, 900, and
it was decided 10 send them to the trade
sales to be gold at auction. From the condi-
ron of the assets it was thought that the
creditors would not realize more than ten
cents on the dollar

DROWN S IRON BITTERs
is one of the very few tonic
medicines that are not COM
posed mostly of alcohol or
whlskey, thus becoming a
fruitful source Of intemper-

Browns IRON B1rrERs
is guaranteed to be- a non

1t will, in nearly every case,
take the place of all liquor,
and at the same time abso-

heat the water. The situation of
 the asylum is beautiful, it being
 three miles from town and built on
 hill. When quite distance away
 1t can be seen plainly, and with the uncertainty of vision, seems but a
 short distance when really quite far.
 It is built of red brick, with stone Icappings and window sills. The
 building is in the shape of letter T
 somewhat The main building with
 it's lofty tower, has quite as much
 length, as it includes the kitchen. etc, in it's range. From the main
 building the right and left wings di-
 verge, and each ends in a tower
 which is not as high as the central one. The institution will have a gas machine, and manufacture its own gas, while It will be heated with hot air furnaces. The registers are placed high in the wall and out of the reach of the patients. The ra- diators are not placed yet, but will soon be in position. Two flues pro- ject from the roof of each wing, al lowing the hot air to escape and the pure to come in, keeping up an even circulation all the time. The win dows are barred with gratings which represent the small panes of glass used, and when window is closed it is difficult to discover the grating by sight. This will prevent patients from becoming excited and furious, as :hey sometimes do when they dis cover the grating. In this case it looks so like an empty window sash as to surprise the sane. The doors are all made of small ceiling, to pre- vent the panels being kicked out, and every transom is of iron, with no glass, allowing free passage of hot air from the hall. The doors have no inside locks, and every win dow sash has concealed cords.
 The grounds are beautiful, and two large cisterns, eighty five feet long by fourteen feet in diameter, and having capacity of 65,000 gal iouS dTe III course Ol COnStfuctlOn. Altogether, the asylum is complete in every detail, and to Architect Willis and Contractors Thalman & Clark unlimited praise can be given. In conversation with the newly elect ed superintendent, Dr. c. c. Forbes, of Kentucky, The Gazette represen- tatiye learned that he was most thor oughly pleased with the work. He affirmed it was the handsomest and most complete asylum he had ever seen, for the money. He affirmed the work was complete in. every point, so far, and complimented the architect and contractor without stint.
 The asylum will be ready for the furniture about the first of the year, and when the legislature meets soon after, it can see to what admirable use was put one of the best appro- priations they ever made.

pieces and throwing q shower of wa ter twenty feet in the air. Tue driv- CT and all the party were scared to within an inch of eiernity. Soon all were stlll and two of the party had to wade in two feet of water to pull the wagon out backwards to the nearest shore, where the broken tongue was mended. Nothing of q serious nature happened throughout the remaining part of the day, and at eight o'clock that eventful Mon day night Molie and her well be haved companion were led (after travelling forty miles that day) into q livery stable in Rus ellyille, where they were well fed, and our party of pleasure seekers found well fur nished table at Bucks restaurant. where a portion of them remained overnight.
 Tuesday was day that will long be remembered by the thousands of people who were in Russellville to see Coles great show It will be understood that the writer belonged to the Mt. Hersey party, and with his friend "Pink Eye" visited the editors sanctum at the DEMOCRAT office, where we were both greeted with a most cordial reception.
 While at RussellvilIe we visited the new factory, which was far ahead of anything of the kind we had ever seen, although not yet in operation.
 All our party arrived safely at home, well satisfied with their trip and what they had seen. Molie be- haved well and nothing pleased us better than to know that she had not killed or crippled one of the crowd. More anon. SNYDER Q. SNYPEs.

Cave Creek NTurmurings gs.

CAVE CREEK, ARK, Nov. 30, 1872. EDITOR DEMocRAT
 The golden rays of the setting sun shone dimly through the tissuey clouds on Saturday evening of the 18th inst, when three pleasure seek CTS, tired of remaining closed up in their mountainous retreat, left the beautiful natural and much attract i've sceneries of Mt. Hersey behind them, with eyes turned askance at every curve in the road, as long as they could see bordering trace of the home they loved so dear. The moon arose majestically from he. eastern couch and threw her rich, resplendent, silver beams full on the faces of three buoyant- hearted pleas ure aspirants, as the wheels of their vehicle rolled noisily over the pebblv beds of Buffalo and Cave Creek, and jostled against many huge powder that lay on the outskirts of the wind ing road. After two hours drive, they had travelled ten miles of their journey and relned their team at Mrs. Elizabeth Dodson's gate, where they were welcomed with many kind expressions of congratulation to a warm hearth and smoking supper, after which they indulged in pleas ant chit-chat till late bedtime.
 On Sunday morning the murky clouds just tipping some of the lofty mountain tops obscnred the sun and cutting north wind foretold inclem- ent weather, but, notwithstanding all this, our little party partook of a desirable breakfast and were off at an early hour upon the sixty five mile stretch of rough road that lay out before them, singing short snatches of familiar songs as the smoky outline of Cave Creek receded behind them. Many pull at the reins and push at the wheels, tired and muddy, brought them to the top of the Boston mountain, where they were again seated and delightfully."- rolling along over the solid road, while large snow flakes fell thick and fast around them, reminding them of a poem they had often read, entitled '"The Beautiful Snow" All that day the clouds hung low and the wind continued to blow a cutting blast, and, although not agreeable with their feelings, night closed in upon them near the head of Cave Creek and they were obliged to find shelter, even though they had to sleep upon an uneven puncheon floor in the honse of d very poor man, who seemed to be an humble philanthropist.
 Monday morning opened up very much like the day previous, but soon the clouds divided and the glowing sun light again flashed in their faces, driving the cold from their shiver- ing bodies and despondency from thelr hearts. Talk about rough roads, jolts, jostles, smashnps, and smashdowns, but the north fork of the Bayou caps the climax. Once and awhile during the day some of the party would sing short ditty, while others might have been heard >whistllng, but this was only upon &e smoothest part of the road A About midday in ford of the Bay o,L, below the Harris farm, Mollie %ho is a very resolute animal and Aho had acted surprisingly well uI tL that time, concluded she would lJave her part Of the load there by Hicking herself free from the wagon .jnd very nicely did she accomplish khe job, kicking the tongue into
