A CARD
To the Democratic Voters of York Cou

To the Democratic Voters of York County
The undersigned, the members of the Town
Council of Yorkville, are reliably informed that
the friends of DR.. John G. Black, with or with.
out his consent, publicly stating, and attempt
ing to make use Of the statement, that the said
Council, in entering a prosecution against Dr.
Black for unlawfully giving prescriptions fol-
liquor, were actuated by desire to injure DIR.
Black in his candidacy for the Democratic nom
ination as State Senator to the resulting benefit
of one of the other candidates. The members OF
the said Council do not propose to go out of their
way to give the lie to every miserable falsehood
that may be circulated against them. They are
unwilling, however, by silence under the afore-
said charge to allow the adherents of DR.. Black
the benefit of such capital as they hope to make
out of this particular falsehood. Each member
of the Council brands the statement, that his &C
tionwas influenced by anything else than sense
of duty, as UNANIMOUSLY false. They also offer,
for your consideration, the following facts
They are the Council of town whose citizens
pay annually, for the privilege of having no
liquor sold within its limits, except for medici-
nal purposes, over eight hundred (sO0) dollars.
On June 2lst last, DIR. John G.. Black, then on a
visit to the town of Yorkvile, found five persons
in need of his services, and of medicine. What
is strange,is that each of the five persons needed
whisky, and no other kind of medicine for reiev-
ing him of his ailment. Oneneeded three quarts
two needed one quart each and two needed one
pint each.
At the first meeting of the Council after June
81 it was resolved to enter the aforesaid prosecu-
ton The Wardens desired to enter the prose-
cution at once, but yielded to the solicitation OF
the Intendant that application be made on the
day when the primary election would be held
neither during the canvass, nor after the result
should be made known.
The Council assembled for the transaction Of
business on July 2lst at p. m. Fifteen min
utes before that hour, the Intendant made inqui-
ry at the ENQUIRER Office, as to whether DIR. Black
would be announced in the issue Of the paper
for that week. Being informed that no an
nouncement had then been received, the Inten-
dant, supposing that DR.. Black would not be
candidate withdrew his request at the meeting,
and application made for the warrant.
The Council may have erred in regarding DR..
Black, in common with other physicians, as
amenable to that law which says, ''It shall be
unlawful for any physician to give prescrip-
ton for any such liquors, except when actually
in bona .fde attendance upon patient" Never
theless, such is their determination to do what
they deem to be their duty, that they will prose-
cute the case, without regard to the effect that
the prosecution itself, or false statements con-
corning the same, may have on any or all of the
candidates. We are, very resp'y., &C.,

ssVXTELL, Old Chap, the time is near at hand
w when that nice
Buggy, Watch and Sewing Machine
Will change hands, and the great beauty Of the
change is that it will not cost thosethat are lucky

Chap will run things otfvery cheap and it will be
the best time to get chances as goods are so cheap
The Old Chap is selling great many goods at
Cost, and you can buy many things
BELOW COST, TO CLOSE OUT.
These are actual facts. Ihe Old Chap needs mon
ey very badly, and he is certainly selling Cloth
ing very cheap, to make room for the largest
stock ever seen in Yorkville, in perfect-itting
Ready-Made Clothing.
I would advise all my friends to see the Old
Chaps goods and get his low prices
DURING THE NEXT 80 DAYS,
AS he is determined to sell goods, and you can
buy them very cheap, besides getting chance to
geta nice BUGGY without costing you single
cent. This is a big thing the Old Chap has gotten
up, and besides, it is worth looking after, and
but few people will ever have such chance
again, as I hardly think the old fellow will give

Humors OF the Battlefield.

Many humorous incidents occurred
IN batllc-lieldS. 4 Confederate colonel
ran ahead of his regiment at Malvern
I'LL, and discovering that the men were
not following him rs closely as he wish
ed, he uttered fierce oath, aad en-
2laimcd;
Come on! Do you want to live for
,vcr?"
The appeal was irresistible, and many
apoor fellow who had laughed at the
2oIonel's queer cXhortation laid down
his life soon after,
a shell struck the wheel of Federal
HcId-picce toward the close of the en-
yagcmcnt at Fair Oaks, and, shivcring
he spoke, dismantlcd the cannon.
"Wcll, isn't it lucky that didn't hap
oen before we used up all our ammuni-
ton, remarked one of the artillerists,
As he crawlcd from beneath the gun.
When Gen. Pope was falling back
before Lees advance in the Virginia
Valley, his own sold ers thought his
bulletins and orders somewhat strained
IN their rhetoric, AT one of the num-
erouS running engagements that mark
ed that disastrous campaign, private
IN one OF the Western regiments was
mortally wounded by a shell. Seeing
the mans condition, a chaplain knelt
beside him, and opening his Bible at
random, read out SamSon'S slaughter
OF the PhilistineS with the jlwbone of
an ass, He had not quite finished, when
rs the story runs the poor fellow inter-
rupted the reader by saying:
Hold on, chaplain. Don't deceive
dying man. Isn't the name of John
Pope signed to that?'
a column Of troops were pushing
forward over the long and winding road
in Ihoroughfare Gap to head oil Lee
after his retreat across the Potomac ut
the close of the Gettysburg campaign.
Suddenly the signal officer who accom-
panied the general in command discoy-
cred that some Of his men, posted ON a
high hill in the rear, We're rcportingthe
pfesesce Of a considerable body of Con-
Tolerate troops on top Of the bluffs TO
the right, 4 halt was at once sounded,
and the leading brigade ordered for
ward to uncover the enemy's position.
The regiments were soon scramblng up
the steep incline officers and men cal
IantIy racing to see who could reach
the crest first A young Lieutenant and
some halt-dozen men gained the adj
vance, but at the end of what they
deemed pcrilous climb they were
thrown into commissions of laughter at
discovering that what the signal men
took for Confederate troops was only a
toerabIy large flock of sheep, As the
leaders in this forlorn hope rolled on
the grass in paroXySm of mcmment,
they laughed all the louder at seeing
the pale but determined faces of their
comrades, who, of course, came up full
ly expecting Il desperate hand-to-hand
stru gle.

Sade supped on mutton that evening.
