~ VICTIM OF THE DOVER RIOT.-
The editor of the State Sentinel gives
the following account of visit to Mr..
Henderson
" Being in Philadelphia this week,
we called upon Charles f. Henderson
at the Girard House. Mr.. Henderson
is one of the owners of O'Brien's circus
and was desperately wounded during
the shooting of the showmen here on
the night of Saturday, April 21st. Mr..
Henderson was shot eight or ten times.
He received a pistol-ball in his right
eye, which has destroyed the sight of
it entirely. He was also shot through
the thumb with two pistol-balls; one
load of shot struck him in the mouth,
knocking several of his teeth out and
filling his tongue full of shot, and he
can hardly get his mouth open now
another load of shot struck him in the
| right car, and that member still looks
very ugly; another load filled his face
and head full of shot, many of them
having festered and worked their way
out; another load struck him in the
side. Mr.. Henderson has been very IL
with erysipelas, but has about rec0Y
cred, and will be in Dover in a short
time. He proposes to make it warn
for some one, and we imagine that tht
public will find out from him and hii
men lone of whom had his eye taker
out the day we were there where
the firing occurred and where it wa
hottest. The fun, as it was called, i
not over. Some people will wish i
was long before it is"

To most children the bare suggestion
of dose of castor oil is nauseating.
Why not, then, when physic is neces-

years without any fcrtizing. Last year MIR.

his corn crop and fertilizer only on his potnl"es.
