A STREAK OF HARD LUCK.

Mr.. Hendricks had returned from a

Not Symptoms, But the Disease.

1t would seem to be truth appre-
cable by all, and especially by pro-
fessors of the healing art, that to re-
move the disease, not to alleviate its
symptoms, should be the chief aim of
medication. Yet in how many instan-
ces do we see this trnth admitted in
theory, ignored in practice. The rea
son that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
successful in so many cases, with which
remedies previously tried were made
quate to cope, is attributable to the
fact that it is a medicine which reach
es and removes the causes of the va
rious maladies to which it il adapted.
Indigestion, fever and ague, liver com
plant, govt, rheumatism, disorder of
the bowels, urinary affections and 9th
er maladies are not paliated merely,
but rooted out by it. 1t goes to the
fountain head. 1t is really, not nomi-
nally, a radical remedy, and it endows
the system with an amount Of vigor
which is its best protectinn against
disease.

TIE Backarow abduction case
has been concluded, and he has been
convicted. BY the facts adduced on
trial the jury could have hardly come
to any other conclusion. The closing
scenes of the trial are thus described
by our Shreveport contemporary:
After hearing the charge the Jury re-
turned to their room for consultation
After being out nearly one hour and thir-
ty minutes, the jury requested the Judge
to read the charge again. After listening
to it they retired. In few minutes they
announced throug h the sheriff that they
had agreed upon verdict. All voices in
the court room were hushed as if by mag
lc., and all awaited the result with breath
less anxiety. The Jurors walked in and
took their seats, when their foreman
handed the verdict to Mr.. Booney, Depu-
ty Clerk, who read
eve, the jury, find the Defendant
guilty" w. 8. TAYLOR,
Foreman.
The verdict was surprise to the prison
er and to his friends, who anticipated an
acquittal or failure to agree. Backa-
rows face appeared calm and placid when
the verdict was read-he exhibited no WIS.,
IDLE emotion, but it was evident that he
was affected deeply by the result. His
father sat near him and as the spectators
gazed upon his benevolent and kindly
face, their symp ,thy, heartfelt, If not ex-
pressed, went out to him spontaneously
EDITOR Hulse approves the &C
ton of the Caddo police jury in offer
ing prizes for the encouragement of
agriculture
The police jury of the parish of Cad
do has offered prizes OF fifty dollars to
the persons producing the greatest
number of bushels of corn per acre !;
also for the best yield of oats and cot
ton. This may do good by stimula-
ting the farmers to better exertions
and to improved methods of cuItiva-
ting crops. Anything which will in
duce the farmers to do their best will
do good. If to gain a premium they
are induced to adopt better methods,
and experience the great gain made
by so doing, they will probably adopt
a better system permanently. Other
parishes might follow the example of
Caddo.
