palling story:
Several months ago she became almost
anything except salt. Her bones became
the seat OF intense pain, her joints were
swollen and painful, and eventually her
whole body and limbs became covered with
splOtcheS and small sores. Her appetite
failed, and she gradually lost flesh and
strength, and had but little use of herself,
as her limbs and muscles were paralyzed.
She, as well rs her friends and those with
whom she lived, despaircd of her recovery.
Her s%uffcringS, combined with loss OF hear.
ing and taste, and blindness, were truly
h~cartrending.
All treatment from physicians and the
use Of medicines seemed powcrleSs. Her
disease was blood poison and rheumatism,
As she now seemed well and hearty the
reporter asked what wrought such n o
dcrful change.
81 used a mSdicine eco mcnded by n
friend, she replied, and before one bottle
had been taken | began to sec and hear.
The second bottle relieved all rheumatic
pains and improved my appetite. When /

(F'om tie EigefsM Adperttser, Sept. 49,
One c:tnc most prominent and hon
ored ladies in Il county is Mrs. Fannie
Prescott Culbreath, living neal Repub-
lican Church, on the South side. She
is the only daughter of the late Capt.
VIM. f. Pres ott. For two or three
years past she has been separated from
her husband, O. II. Culbrtath, ESQ,
who, however, lives in the same inn
mediate ncighbornood. The social
standing and popularity of Mrs. Cul-
breath would forbid lis thus publicly
mentioning such a fact, were it not,
under present circumstances. almost
impossible to avoid it. Mrs. Gull
brcath's children all live with her.
The eldest of these are a gro WI son and
daughtcr-grown,bu but still quite young.
On Saturday night last young Mem
phis Culbreath, the son, Wishing to 20
to spend the night at the house of his
uncle, Mr.. Lou Prescott, n few miles
of, asked MI. William Hammond, n
young gentleman, n friend, and a
next-door neighbour, to repair to his
mothers house, attend to the feeding
OF the stock, &C., and guard the fami-
ly during the night. Mr.. Hammond,
who is 20 or 26 years old and unnar.
ricd, is the son of Mrs. James Ham
mond, a widow, living about a mile
from Mrs. Culbreath. In the Culbreath
family he was almost as much at home
as in his own house, having previously
for two or three years, been in their
employ as q superintendent. At about
81 O'Clock he took one of the younger
children, q little boy who was sick and
quite nauseated, ont to the edge of the
back piazza to vomit. Mrs. Culbreath
followed with a lighted lamp. The
child becoming relieved, Mrs. Cul-
breatl returned into the house, while
Mr.. Hammond and the child stepped
down q few PAGES into the yard.
While there n shot was suddenly heard
from the bottom of the yard, some 20
or 20 yards of, perhaps, and Mr.. Ham
mond fell, MORALLY wounded-tbe left
side of his head, face, neck and shoulder
being riddled with bullets. He linQcr-
ed, unconscious, at Mrs. Culbreath's
until noon on Monday, when he died.
The community in which this terrible
affair occurred arc i'm q state of wild
excitement. Peoples mouths arc full
OF reports, rumors, infcrences and
declarations. We do not deem it the
part of wisdom or justice to make pub
lie any of these. No arrest has been
made.

A Young Lady Leaves Her HON. to Marry
Her Lover Confined In Jail.
(FJ0m tie ChestcrteM .A&ceytscr, Sept. I5.)
The wind may howl, the thunder
may roar, death may come, but when
a woman well and truly loves n maj
she will marry him or die in the at
tempt. The public may brand him a
murderer, the court may sentence him
to death or to hard labor in the State
prison, the statutes may take away his
rights as a citizen forever, everybody
else may forsakc him, but the woman
who has given him her undivided
affection in the time of his peace and
prosperity will never forsakc him,
though the whole world may condemn
her for it. 1t is only i'm cases of cX-
trcmc adversely and misfortune that
woman's best and brightest traits are
brought to light. They may have lain
dormant for years, but the time will
certainly como when the world will
ind them out. james Hunter was
convicted at this term of court of man
slaughter. Miss Dora Evans was an
eyewitness to the killing and a niece
of the deceased. Monday morning
Hunter was sentenced to four wear i'm
tho State prison. Friends and kins-
men who had staid by him in the long
and tedious trial babe him goodbye
and went home. Tuesday night, while
Sheriff King ana his household were
sleeping the sleep Of the just, suddenly
there came n gentle tap, tap, on the
outer door. Was it n ghost? No; 1t
was a nymph. Miss Dora Evans had
fled from her home and had come %
miles through the darkness and rain
to marry her lover, James Hunter.
Sheriff King, not knowing exactly
what to do, put her off till morning.
Wednesday morning promptly at 8
O'Clock James Hunter and Dora Evans
were made man and wife. The Rev.
j. w. Mcltoy performed the ceremony
in the Jail hall, in the presence of about
100 spectators-oficers, members of
the bar, jurymon, white, colored and
Indifferent. Such is lii.
The homicide occurred about q year
ago. James Hunter and George w.
Evans had a difficulty several year
before, but they were apparently on
good terms with each other Just pre-
vious to the fatal encounter. On that
day, however, in consequence of an
insulting remark made by Hunter in
allusion to Evans's wife. Evans knock
cd him down and punished him. After
being taken off of him, and while
Evans was leaving the field. with his
mothers arm around him, rs the wit
nesscs for the State testified, Hunter
ran up to Evans and discharged the
contents of his pistol into his body,
causing almost instant death.

Davenport and Will Owens went down
in the wreck and were severely but
not fatally injured. The force OF con-
and sent ont a flag to warn the ap-

not stop it before reaching the bridge.
In attempting to stop, the steam Che t
on one side blew out. The accident

A Majority OF Five or Ten Thousand Con
hdently Predicted. What Fitzhugh Leo
Says.
The Washington correspondent of
the Charlotte Observer writes:
a distinguished newspaper man who
is a Virginian, tells me that he has
travelled in various portions of the
State since the canvass began and that
he finds a good spirit prevailing every
whore among Democrats. They are
working hard and are very enthusiastic
over their gallant candidate. General
Lees speeches arc oXccllent-better
than cXpected-and arc received by
the people with hearty applause.
Grand cavalcadcs arc greeting the con-
qucring hero in the Valley.
My informant says that in the be-
ginning of the campaign Malone Sc
cured q large sum of money which he
has used, probably { o good advantage,
where it vas possible. There is a bad
element in every State, and the free
display of funds never fails TO have its
effect. But this class is not considera-
BILE, and the State is regarded as Fer
fectly safe.
| asked the probable majority. The
reply did not startlc me, although it
was only half what has heretofore been
claimed. The journalist said it would
be any where between five thousand
and ten thousand, or about the figures
of last year, Greater cxcrtions are
making to wrcst the State from the
Democrats. The organizing abilities
of Malone arc great. He is uneasy
about his own reelection and conse-
qucntly gives more attention to the
canvass My friend thought that John
5. Wise was making himself almost if
not quite as unpopular as Malone.
For his W part he dislikcd Wise the
more. This gentleman said that the
majority would easily be twenty thou
sand in Virginia if all the removals
demanded were made right away.
WHAT GENERAL LEE SAYS.
General Fitzhugh Lee, the Demo.
cratic nominee for Governor, gave the
following nswcr to the questions
p]ropoundcd by q Richmond reporter:
General, do you hear of many Re.
publicans coming over to the Demo

publicans, among them Wickham, Cal.
lahan, Rivcs, Baily and others. Indeed,

"What in your opinion is the ami

mouth, Ills, special says: "The spec.

ing above the city q few hundred feet
drew people from the stores and
houses OH Thursday afternoon till the
streets were crowecd. The excitement
became intense when shortly the air
ship swooped down afd impalcd itself
on the spirc Of the Catholic Church
near the public square. The balloon
at once collapsed and a hundred citi-
zcns helped to drag the concern to the
ground. The basket was empty, bar
ring a torn shirt, a sleeve cuff and
some branches Of oak, indicating IL
collision with tree tops somewhere
and the possible death of an mronaut.

For THE HERALD.

A dangerous man in a community,
is the envious. The brightness ofpros-
perity that surrounds others, pains
the eyes of the envious man than
the bright sun, and casts a gloom over
his mind. 1t brings into action jeal-
Ousy, revenge, falsehood, and the
basest passions of the human heart.
1t goads him onward with The rapidity
of a locomotive, and often runs his
a off the track, dashes it into pieces,
and he is left bruised and bleeding.
The success of those around throws
hsa~a-iaAa oonuulsions ; and like man
with thediiirinm tremons, heimagines
all who approach him deamons seek

often erects his own gallows, in his
zeal to hang others. His mind is like
the troubled sea, constantly casting

SANDER. If in his power, he would
bottle up the sunshine, rain and dew
of Heaven to keep them from others
to " crush" them out. Uncharitable
as it may be, he becomes an object of
contempt, rather than pity. The best
and only remedy for the envious man
is religion (; but the surest is to have
everybody dead, and he keep a tav-
ern. There is hope in the first /; he
would soon become weary of the last
