'With due respect, we would suggest to

cerned therein, that the time has fully come
when halt should be called in the business
Of appointing unworthy characters to office in

with becoming modesty we would venture

The Washington Post calls upon the mem
bers of the House to stand up and be counted,
and to answer when their names are called
whether or not they are for free trade. The
lack of response to its call should suggest to
the Post that many of the Democratic mem
bers are timid, modest men, who hesitate to
make themselves conspicuous.

SEVENTEEN cases of trichiniasis are reported
from one little town in Wisconsin. Since this
dreadful disorder is contracted only by eating
raw or UNDERGONE pork, it is astonishing how
many people will persist in partaking of swine
flesh in its raw state. It is hard to understand
how anyone can eat such flesh raw.

he himself went down to Eighty-frst

The marriage was set 70, Tuesday of

down he saw his wife in the water
clinging to the wall, but apparently
dead. Alva Morris, a neighbor, was
passing at the time and responded TO
the farmers cries for help. Morris let
himself down in the well and fast

she was drawn to the top. She was
alive, but unconscious. She was re-

There in the bloom Of immortal youth,

Her soul will quaf at the fount Of truth,
With love for its tiroless teacher.
For she has gone to that fairy shore,
Where the land Of the beautiful lies.
Where sorrow oppTesseth the soul no more,
Nor the sunshine Of gladness dies.

LKwIsBURG, Miss, May 5.-A meet
ing OF the citizens Of Lewisburg and
vicinity was held May l, 1856, ex-
pIessive OF their indignation of the
obnoxious law passed by our late
Legislature known as the stock law.
Mr.. I. j. Wilroy was called to the
chair and j. @. Lsngston was selected
SIS secretary and B. F. Ross assistant
secretary. The object of the meeting
was explained by the chairman.
On motion OF W. j. WilIoy, that

chairman to DRAFT suitable resolutions,
expressing the sense of the meeting,
the following named gentlemen were
chosen: E. B. Lauderdale, Samuel
Sneed, B. P. Lewis, J. 7. Jones, w.

Resolved, That the law enacted by

would not vote for taid law without
submitting II to the people.
ResOlved, That we return our sincere
thanks to the Hon. A. S. Buchanan

Sore Ewes

The eyes are always in sympathy with
the body, and afford an excellent index
Of its condition. When the ewes become
weak, and the lids n1amed and sore, it is
an evidence that the system has become
disordered by Scrofula, for which Ayers
Sarsaparilla is the best known remedy.
Scrofula, which produced a painful in
flammation in my eyes, caused me much
suffering for a number Of Years. BY the
advice Of physician commenced taking

eXerted their skill, but with no permanent
success. On the recommendation OF a

bottle her sight was restored, and she can
now look steadily at brilliant light with
