FOR THE CURE OF
fever and ACUE
Or ChlLLS and FEVER,

The proprietor Of this celebrated medi.
cine justly claims for it o superiority over
oil remedies ever offered to the public for
the SAFE, CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PER
MANENT cure Of Ague and Fever, or Chills
and Fever, whether of short or long stand.
ing. He refers to the entire Western and
Southern country to bear him testimony to
the truth Of the assertion that in no case
whatever will it fail to cure if the direc-
tons are strictly followed and carried out.
In q great many cases q single dose has
been sufficient for cure, and whole fsmi-
lies have been cured by single bottle, with
aperfect restoration Of the general health.
1t is, however, prudent, and in every case
more certain to cure, if ia use is continued
in smaller doses for wegi or two after the
disease has been checked, more especially
in difficult and long-standins cases. Usu-
ally this medicine will not require any aid
to keep the bowels in good order. Should
the patient, however, require oathartic
medicine, after having taken three or four
doses of the Tonic, single dose of BULLS
VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will DO suf-
ticient.
BULLS SARSAPARILLA is the old and
reliable remedy for impurities of the blood
and Scrofulous aheotions-the King of
Blood Purifiers.

WORK or THE COURTS.
Trial of Gases on the Criminal Docket
No Session of the City Court.

At the meeting of the superior Court
yesterday the consideration Of the case
Of the negro Ned Harris, Indicted for
simple larceny, was resumed and the
matter WAS given to the jury. The
prisoner was found guilty and was recon-
mended TO the extreme mercy OF the
court. He was sentenced 10 six months'
imprisonment with labor on the chain
gang.
On Jan. 7 Joseph Murphy got into an
alteration with Robert Campbell aud at
tackled the latter with a knife. Murphy was
arrested and indicted for an assault with
intent to murder. The case was called
in the Superior Court Yesterday, and the
defendant plead guilty TO unlawful stab
blng not in his own defense, or under
other circumstances Of justification. The
court sentenced him to twelve months
imprisonment.
The attention OF the Superior Court
was occupied during the greater portion
Of its sitting with the trial Of George
Webb, indicted for rape. The
court room was crowded all day. Webb
was arrested two weeks ago on a war
rant issued at the instance of
a colored woman named Flora Nichols.
The accused denied his guilt and claimed
that the charge was an attempt to levy
blhShiuulls me uldlttlhl Doi LlOu VI AAib
evidence introduced by the State consisted
OF the sworn statement fthe mother Of the
child upon whom it was alleged the crime
was committed and the testimony OF DR..
r. B. Harris.
The girl was called, and, on taking the
witness stand. was Intercepted first by
the Court as to her understanding OF the
nature OF an oath. She gave her testi-
mOny, which seemed to be straight
forward aud artless, but when cross-eX-
anined admitted that when she was first
asked who committed the crime she did
not charge the prisoner, but another
party She stated that the reason she
afterwards charged W ebb with the Otfense
was that she was afraid Of being whipped.
This admission on the part of the witness
produced sensation, and doubtless bad
great deal to do in determining the YER
dict that was rendered by the jury. The
taking OF the testimony for the State was
concluded about 4:30 o'clock,
when the defendant made his
statement showing where he was and in
whose company he had been during the
day when the crime was said TO have been
committed. The arguments of Solicitor
General duBignon for the State and OF
Col. r. E. Lester for the defense were con-
cluded at $50 o'clock. The jury was
charged, and at 10 o'clock returned a
verdict OF acquittal.
