KILLED HIS OWN FATHER.-Morti-
cello Constitution: On last Saturday night
there was a negro festival at the house
Of Lydia Inman, about 800 yards from
the residence of William Dawkins, one
OF the oldest citizens of jefferson county,
and who resided about nine or ten
miles northwest of Monticello. Mr..
George Dawkins, a son Of William Daw-
kins, that night, unfortunately. was
under the influence Of liquor aud attend
ed the festival. His father was advised
that the son was making himself disagree
able, and the old man repaired TO the
place and, discovering George sitting on a
log by a lightwood fire outside the house,
suggested that he go home with him. For
some reason the young man fingered, and
soon a number of negroes began to gather
about the fire, and just as George realized
the fact that they were c~ongregating for a
row, and attempted to rise, one of them
struck him a fearful blow with a stick on
the back of the head. 1t Knocked down
and dazed him, and just as be arose on
his he knees, observed a man named Sam
Jackson advancing on him with a chair;
he had a pistol and fired, but immediately
thereafter received a second blow, which
made him insensible. How many min
utes he renamed IN said condition is un-
known, bat on bis recovery he advanced
TO the door of the house, and there found
his aged father fatally wounded, He
took position on the step, and held his
fathers head until a conveyance was
brought. The old man breathed his last
on reaching the gate to his residence.

The Right to Protection of Life.
TThe Christian at Work.1

lIhe Christian at NorE.
 Man is never justified in averaging life or the honor of those beloved by him, save only when society through it's courts of law ut- terly fails to give him it's protection and when such protection is deeded; and then the avenger must account to society for what he has done. The law is made for man, not man for law; man, the family, the society come frst-law afterwasd; law is a means never 8 supreme end in itself. It has been said that even if this doctrine be true, still it should not be proclaimed But what is our society, our vaunted civilization, if a great socioIoRical fact must be hidden and covered up as the blurred mosses hide the rocks? What then is our manhood? assuredly we must be nation of infants And what is our not revenRinp of blood is Scriptural, but positively it must not be breathed lest bird in the air tell the matter? A great deal has been said in deprecstion of bloodshed at the hand of avengers. Is it not time that some to punish those who strike down the help less and who defame the honor of pure women? This quertion is not to be settled by confounding caees which are dissimilar on the one hand, ncr yet by quoting pietistic phrases having no relevancy to the subject on the other. It behooves us all to remember that the right to life and to protection against the careless taking of life is an inhe- rent right, primord right, an inalienable right voiced by God as He gave it to man in the morning twilight of the world-and which no corrupt court nor idle statute in laW-bosk can wrest from him.

One meal A Day.
From the Newcastle Chronicl,

From the Newcastle Chronicle.l
 Dr. George Fordyce, the anatomist and ehsnnicle lecturer, was accustomed to dine every day, for more than twenty years, at Dolly's chop house, in Queens Head Passage, Paternoster row. His researches in eompar- ative anatomy had led him to conclude that man, through custom, eats oftener than na- lure requires, one meal a day being sufficient for that noble animal, the lion. He made the experiment on himself at his favorite dining house. and finding it successful he continued the following regimen for the above term of years: At o'clock, his &C., customed dinner hour, he entered Dolly's chop house and took his seat at table ai- ways reserved for him, on which were in- stsntly placed e silver tanksrd full Of strong ale, bottle of port wine and Q measure con- taining quarter of pint of brandy. The moment the waiter announced him the cook put pound and a half of trump steak on the gridiron, and on the table some delicate triae, es bonne bouehe to serve until the steak was ready. This delicacy was sometimes half a broiled chicken, sometimes a plate of fish; when he had eaten this he took glass of his brandy, and then proceeded te devour his steak. We say devour, for he always ate as rapidly as if eating for wager. When he had finished his meat he took the remainder of his brandy, having during his dinner drank the tankard of ale and afterwards the bottle of port The doctor then adjourned to the Chapter coffee house in Paternoster TOW, and stayed while he slipped glass of brandy and water It was then his habit to take another at the London coffes-house and third st the Oxford, after which he returned to his house in Essex street, where he gave his lectures on chemistry. He made no other meal till his return next day at o'clock at DoLys.

RILIOUSM

Bilious symptoms invariably arise from indigestion, such as furPed tongue, vomiting of bile, giddiness, sick headache, irregular bowels. The liver secretes the bile and acts like a filter OF sieve, to cleanse i'm purities Of the. blood. By ir- regularity in it's action or sus- pensions of it's functions, the bile is liable to overflow into the blood, causing jaundice, sallow complexion, yellow eyes, bilious diarrhea, a lan- guid, weary feeling and many other distressing symptoms. Biliousness may be properly termed an affection of the liver, and can be thoroughly cured by the grand regulator of the liver and biliary organs, BURDOCK BLOOD BITTERS.

During February and March representatives of the best society gather here in the hostelries and cottages, seeking respite from the distractions of so- ciety life. They lounge in the cosy parlors, walk or ride on the beach; acquire healthy appetitss, eat with relish, enjoy music, song and dance, sleep the sweet refreshing sleep of health, and go back to take up the routine of life re-created in mind and body.
 A remarkable feature of this climate is the standing invitation it holds forth to exercise It's mildness is. not mild enough to produce languor or laziness. Bracing and inspiring in its effect, it awaksns desire for free outdoor life, love of active diversion. And for this there is certainly abundance of scope and plenty of incentive. Rare sport is to be had in the excellent fishing afforded by the surrounding waters. Shooting, too, is good on the meadows and the arms of the sea,
