Walkers death. He having lost his
life by being thrown from that horse,
the animal would never have been al

or Mr.. Hobson, the jockey, known what
was ascertained later upon arriving in
Richmond-that Mr.. Walker had died
during the afternoon. Not knowing this
Dr. Anderson's friends concluded that rs

was no reason why the animal should

1t is among the foliies OF which the manufactur-
ers OF many proprietary remedies are guilty, to
term their medicines "panaceas." or TO claim for
them the quality OF panaceas There is no such
thing 'panscea.'' which means remedy
adapted to all diseases. This absurdity has never
been perpetrated by the proprietors OF Hostetter

justice. that it is remedy Of general utility ana
this because 1t restores that regular and vigorous

TYLER REDIVIVUS.
A Disbarred Lawyer Seeks
Rehabilitation.
The Associate Counsel Against
Sharon VIII Try to Regain His
Standing at the Bar.

George W. Tyler is preparing 10 emerge
from exile.
He has taken preliminary steps TO re-
of California.
No old resident of this city nor reader
of the daily papers need be told who
George W. Tyler is nor why he was dis
barred. but for the information of new
corners 1t may be ment toned that he was
associate counsel in the case of Sarah
Althea Hill against William Sharon.
On December 3. 1856. j. NJ. Hogan
brought an action before the Supreme
Court of this State to disbar him, charging
that be had withheld S4146 which he had
collected for said Hogan.
Three years ago Tyler moved to POI!
Townsend, Wash, where he has since re-
sided, engaged in the practice OF his pro-
fessiOn. He has recently been in commu-
nication with friends in this city, who
have assured him that if the case be re-
opened at this time he will be certain of
rein statement.
One of the Judges of the Supreme bench
that tiled Tyler remarked recently that
while he did not believe TYLER guiltless,
yet he was convinced that TYLER was a
very much prosecuted individual, and that
his professional acts were in no way worse
than those Of many others who hold their
heads in the air. have high standing at the
bar and are Of good repute before the
world.
Tyler has already sent his family to this
State and will follow them as soon as he
closes up few business matters at Port
Townsend. He will probably arrive here
within three weeks.
There are only two WAYS by which he
can be rehabilitated. One is for the
Supreme Court to reopen the case OF it's
own accord; the other is for some member
of the bar to make sueh motion. The first
is out of the question; the second, it is
understood, will be done soon after Tyler
arrives here.
The tragic death of Judge Terry and the
acquttal of Deputy Marshal Magic were
thought TO be the final episodes in train
of sensations which tread on each others
heels. but after the lapse of years the rec
objection of them will once more be
awakened,
