NOTES.
In q recent game between the Sacos and Old Or

were played and every one won by the Sacos.
Considering the way the Munjoys defeated the
Sacos Wednesday night, and also the fact that the

badly beaten BY the Portland clubs, it is safe to
predict that the championship of the Summer tour

1t is safe to take BRANDRETH's PILLS at any
time, but to gft the best results they should be
taken on an empty stomach, going to bed. 1t
IS well on the night you take them to eat little
or no supper. As no two people are affected
precisely the same by like quantity of the
same medicine, it is difficult to determine the
dosei and it is something which must be left
to the discretion of the patients. We will say,
though, the average dose for an adult is from
four to ten, according to effect
For Constipation or Dyspepsia, one or two
taken every night will, in short time, per-
form an absolute care. 1t is well to take a
purgatiye at least once or twice a month as
preventive of disease, and as these Pills are
entirely vegetable, and are made with the
greatest care, we know them to be the safest
and most effective purgative ever introduced

next morning to the edge of the woods, in
plain sight of us all, and shot down like so
many cattle. There must have been from sixty
to eighty of them. It looked rough to see
those poor colored men shot down in cold blood,
and we unable to save them. Surely their

were called. A great many incidents happened
on the way that amused us. | recall that
when passing on foot near Tarboro N. c.,
big, frowzy- headed woman, with a dozen or so
of equally frowzy children about her, asked one
of our guards where our horns" were. She
had always believed the Yankees had horns,
and was surprised to see we had none. / also
remember that the bareback we got at Colds
boro, n. c., was round and full of bedbugs
Still, hunger made them sweet to the taste
after we had picked the bugs out.
When we crossed the Cape Fear River at Will
mington, n. c., we were ferried over on an old
tub of ferryboat.tha could carry only about
$50 at time. While the last squad was cross
ing one of the guards took three of us back of
an old cotton shed, and one of company X

other and the guard passed ON few steps.
Jones was smoking a pipe, and, reaching
through the she'd he got a handful of cotton
and set it on fire with his pipe. He then rolled
it up and showed it through the crack in the
shed. We soon after left Wilmington and
when few miles off saw large light behind
us. The next day-or rather that evening, at
Charleston-we saw an account OF big fire at
Wilmington that same morning, and loss of
more than million dollars worth of cotton

say nothing. This was May !, 1864.
