Welded LAURA.-She was beautiful,
he loved her devotedly, and happiness
seemed to pervade their every act.
But trouble came Sickness paled
Laura's blooming cheeks, dulled her
sparkling eyes, enfeebled her eonstitu
ton, eInaciated her beautiful form, I'M
strung her delicate nerves and unti tied
her for active life. With an aching
heart her husband consulted doctors, adj
ministered their medicines and talked
with friends. Notwithstanding all this
care and attention, there Il peared no
relief for her aching head, that painful
back, that irregular uterine action and
that e~maciation. Another friend called
who had seen such sickness and at once
suggested the use of DR.. Dromgoole's
ENGLISH FEMALE BITTERs, as he had
known it to cure similar cases. Her
husband procured it at once and placed
her upon its use. He soon had the sat
isfaction of seeing Laura restored to
health again.

Skulls and Gross Bones.
TColfax Chronicle. I

In digging a ditch around the
square on which the new court
house is situated, and which is only
about sixty feet distant from the
site of the court house which was
burned at the riot in 1873, the
workmen unearthed a skull and
several bones OF the feet and hand
of some of the victims on that oc-
casion. About seventy feet of the
breastworks thrown up by the
negroes are inclosed within the
present court square. The en-
bankment altogether was some
l50o Or 200 yards in length. After
the fight four score or more dead
negroes were buried in the trench
they had dug, and covered with
the earth from the embankment.
1t is said about twenty bodies are
buried within the limits of the
present court square. We have
suggested on a former occasion
that these bodies be exhumed and
buried elsewhere and still think
it should be done. In leyeling
around the court house this week
the mound that has served to
mark their Whereabouts has been
o%bliterated, and if they are not
moved soon all trace of them will
be lost. 1t looks bad to
have these CHASTITY relics exhibited
every now and then, as was the
case last Tuesday with that grin
ming Uranium with a round bullet
hole bored clear through it.
