TerrorizinE Herndon.

A drunken negro, whose name
could not be learned, boarded the
Princeton train just as it pulled in at
HerndOn Saturday evening. He wa
very boisterous and would not leave
the platform, when the conductor
and brakeman put him off. Just as
the train pulled out he shot at the
conductor, but the ball went wide OF
its mark. His friend carried him Off
but in a few minutes he returned
and WAS raising a big racket about
the depot, when Edwin Williams,
the depot agent, attempted to quiet
him, and he pulled his gun and fired
at him. Mr.. Williams was given a
pistol by bystander, and returned
the shot, more to trighten than to
hurt the negro. 1t had the desired
effect and his friends got him out OF
the town.

More serious sickness is caused by
allowing the bowels to remain in tor
pid or a partially constipated condition
than from any other cause. In many
instances diseases are produced from
which people never wholly recover.
Dyspepsia, piles and nervous disor
ders are three of the most common
and most serious. They are caused by
neglecting the bowels and can be pre-.
vented by an occasional dose of st.
Patrick's Pills, which always produce
a pleasant cathartic effect, and not
only physic but cleanse the whole sys.

city only short time, having come
with view of mingling in family
reunion, and was in his usual health
on arriving here. He was attacked
by the disease on the 23d instant, and

medical attention was constantly

a great deal of money, being a
natural artist of unusual abilities.
Removing from Huntsville to Court
land, he lived in the latter place
continuously for fifty eight years,
where he was known as philanthro-
pist, for although making great deal
of money he gave it all to the
poor and to importuning friends
