From New Zealand.

REEFroN, New Zealand, Nov. %,
1861 am very pleased TO state that
since l took the agency of Chamber
laip's medicines the sale has been very
large, more especially of the Cough
Remedy. In two years have sold more
of this particular remedy than of all
other makes for The previous five years.
AS to its efficacy, have been informed
by scores of persons of the good results
thew have received from it, and know
its value from the use of it in my
own household. 1t is so pleasant to
take that we have to place the bottle
beyond the reach of the children.

SOME MISTAKE ABOUT LEES
CAPTURE.

The story CT the alleged capture of
Fiizhugh Lee by IN. Pearson, of Stock
ton, CAL, is denied by Colonel John S.
Mosby, who relates an episode of the
Civil War which possibly explains how
the mistake occurred. He says:
'I.ee was not captured until after the
surrender at Appomattox. I knew him
we'll during the war. During the first
fight Wa 8 pyivae and thep adjutant

White House in Virginia Lee was in

McClellan's troops the year before.

where he was lying wounded, and car

1t is also pure fable about Fiizhugh
Lee going Oh to Canada to join the
Feniaps after the war. We lived in ad'
joining counties and 1 frequently saw
him and know that he did nothing OF
the kind. A similar story was publish

al representation in the general con-
ference Of the Methodist Episcopal
church announce their belief that by
the last of October, ii not sooner, equal
representation will be an accomplished
fact In the United States. The last
general conference decided in
favor of equal representation, but il
still required the votes of two-thirds OF
the annual conferences to ratify the
proposition. Of the conferences that
have been held, more than two-thirds
have ratified the change, being, in fact
almost unanimously favorable. The
fall conferences will begin about Sept

pected from them. If this proves to bt
the case equal representation will hav,
been accomplished. The lsymen claim
that this will be the greatest step takeI

Death of Miss Kfttie Mcdonald.

Daniel Mcdonald arrived in the
city this morning at two O'Clock
with the remains of his daughter, Miss
Catharine Mcdonald, whose death oc-
cured Monday morning at Ell Paso,
Texas.
Miss Mcdonald was the only daugh-
ter of Daniel Mcdonald, editor of the
plymouth Democrat, and was lady of
culture. She had been in poor health
for the past ten years, during which
time she has visited various places
throughout the United States for the
purpose of finding relief During the
illness of her mother, who was an in
valid for two years, Miss Mcdonald
was her constant companion and left
nothing undone to render aid and com
fort to her. During the two years vigil
and constant care of her mother, her
health became impaired and from
which she never recovered. She was
born in Plymouth, Dec. 2, 1859 For
several years she acted as assistant
in the office of the Democrat and
her friends in the county are legion.
OF four children only one survives,

VOLUNTEERS HELD BACK.
Artillery and Cavalry at Tampa Going to
the Transports.


Port Tampa City, Fla, headquarters
of the One hundred and fifty seventh
Indiana Volunteers, July 23.-The
movement of troops is progressing
very slowly. Several regiments of in
fantry have been sent to Fernandins,
while those designated for Porto Rico
are being put aboard the transports.
The experience of the first expedition
has taught the military authorities to
embark the troops in more systematic
manner in the future. Up to this time
several regiments of regulars have been
ordered aboard the boats and the move
ment of tie volunteer forces Will begin
in few days. Another obstacle that
has been holding the other regiments
back is the loading of vast amount of
artillery, cavalry and pack mules.
Military authorities state that the One
hundred and fifty Indiana will
be sent to Porto Rico with this expedi-
ton.
hN hOAhONl VI LlOll 0LS WCllu lllC
sick call this morning was about the
same as usual. The health OF the
camp is comparatively good A crema-
tory has been constructed under the
supervision of Major Surgeon Walter
w. Barnett and all the garbage is being
burned.
DR.. Reginald w. Garstang, assistant
surgeon, has been transferred to the
division hospital of the Fourth Army
corps by order of General Snyder. The
organization of division hospital for
the Second division is one of the surest
indications that this division will be
sent to Porto Rico. Col. Studebaker's
regiment, being part of the Second
division, points to its early departure.
An amusing sight to witness every
evening is the manner in which the
men smoke the mosquitoes from their
tents. Small bonfires are built in the
| center of the tent and as soon as good
| fire is under way it is smothered, thus
| filling it with smoke and driving the
long billed variety of mosquitoes away
Last evening these annoying insects
came in such numbers that all remedies
to keep them away failed. a number
of men placed coal oil on themselves,
but after this had evaporated the
mosquitoes were ss plentiful as before.
A number of men in Company X,
Auburn, had large bonfire in the mid
die of their street and sat around it dur
ing the night. Care was taken to
smother the fire occasionally so as to
create column of smoke to keep the
mosquitoes at distance.
Private Jack Utley, of Company b,

was thought to be serious, but he short

Tampa, Fla, July ga report was
current at Tampa last evening that the

This report caused great uneasiness
among the wives of the different oili-

trict. Up to this time the One-hun-
dred and-fifty seventh regiment has
been entirely free of these fevers.

Prospective Groom Fooled Himself.

A young Mishawaka man drove to
Plymouth Wednesday and applied for a
marriage license of Deputy County
Clerk Davis. He said that he wanted
to fool the boys at home. Mr.. Davis
informed him that he had fooled him
self as he would have to get the license
in st. Joseph county where the girl
resides. The prospective groom stated
that his bride was 30 years old and he
thought this ought to entitle them to
get license anywhere. They drove
back to Mishawaka.

Look Out For 1t.

A new counterfeit half dollar is said
to have made its appearance. 1t is
made of lead. with little glass in It's
composition to give it the necessary
ring, but 1t is soft and light In weight.
The color is good and the workmanship
exceedingly fine, making it hard to de-
tect when not handled singly.
