Il is transmitted to innocent offspring Such being the
case how important it becomes that every having
the least to fear they have contracted the disease
should attend to it at by consulting physician
whose respectablly and education enables him to
rant safe, speedy and permanent cure.


In accordance with this necessity Dr. Stackpoe feels
called upon to state that by long study and extensive
practice he has become perfect master of all those diseases
which como under the denomination of venerea and
ing paid attention TO that branch than any other
physician in the Uued States, he feels himself better
qualified to treat them.

AprLEs WITHOUT SEEDs.-The following if
published in the Memphis Eagle, as the only
method known to procure apples without seeds
or cores:


Take the ends Of tho limbs Of an apple tree
where they hang low, so as to reach the ground,
dig small hole for each under the tree, bend
1t in the hole, eon1ning it down SO It will re-
main. Do this in winter, or the beginning Of
spring. The end Of the limb thus buried will
take root and put out sprouts or scions, which
when they become sufficiently large to 'set-out,
dig up at the proper season and transplant them
in the orchard where you wish them to remain,
When they get large enough to bear, they will
bear apples without seed or cores.

ELECTION BRIBERY.-The Rhode Island
Bautist Ministerial Conference has had under
consideration the subject of election bribery
Very strangely the committee say in their re-
port:


Whatever, therefore, may be the personal
or party gain, political bribery, being so in
furious 10 the public morals, and destruc-
tlve TO the political Institutions of the nation,
the me N bers of this Conference earnestly and
kindly urge men of all political parties, by
their regard for the statute law which these
bri5es violate, and by their love for the Gov
ernment they endanger, TO discountenanee an
evil so pernicious, and to employ every con-
sistent influence 10 preserve the sacredness
and integrity of the ballot box. And, in the
opinion of this Conference freemen are mo-
rally bound TO attend the primary as well
the general meetings and deposit their ballots
IA accordance with their judgment, else they
are uswerabie for the issue of the elections
A jurer is no more bound to discharge his duty
lnieligently and independently to his country
aud his God than freeman is 10 fulfill his
trust 10 himself and the community and in
no other manner can our present Government
be preserved"


The recommendations OF the Committee

The County Polio are req ues ted to give some
attention 10 the gangs of young roWdes that
regularly assemble at Howard's Grove to
steal fruit and vegetables from the market

opportunities offer. These young highway

that market.men are compelled to go TO and
from the city in gangs for mutual protection.
An evening or TWO since a watermelon yen-

seS~Our Indianapolis correspondent, t'V.,
writes that there is some talk there of
building Cotton Mill, but thinks the i'll
success of the Rolling Mill, and the fact
that capitalists can loan their money at 10
to l 5 per cent. on the best of security, will
prevent such an establishment from being
built. He believes indianapolis would be o
good point for such an enterprise.


Evansville would be good point for a Cot
ton Goods Manufactory. 1t is convenient
to the cotton growing regions, and has cheap
water communication with the world. Be
sides, coal is plenty. We think the day
must come when thousands of spindles will
be kept busy at this point.

Some time ago the Freight Agents adopted
the rule that barre! of whisky should be
rated, ia making contracts for transporta-
ton, at three hundred and Fifty pounds
This-was apparently entirely satisfactory,
but some of the shippers adopted dodge to
secure a little more service for the same
amount of money. Instead Of having the
barrels made the usual size, they were in
creased to a sufficient capacity to hold fifty,
aud even as much as one hundred pounds
more than the standard established by the
freight agents In a consignment of even
twenty barrels to New York or Boston, or
any point, the shipper would get the ad-
vantage of the free transportation of thou

Bank of Kentucky, of the 81 plate, has

Commercial Bank has no two dollar notes

is made payable at Paducah. 1t is very
gross counterfeit, being unlike any of the
genuine notes. The date and signature are
both Autographed, and it purports to be en-
graved by Danforth Wright & Co, of New
York, who have never done any engraving
for the bank. The vignette in the center
of the note is q ship, with a ship on the
right hand end, and a portrait on the left

The season Of high water Is again upon us, and
ell the lower part OF the town Is submerged. After

would enjoy an exemption from similar vistations
for several years to come but this appears TO be
mistake and the water this year threatens to attain
great height at any former time. The build
ing occupied by the Mountaineer establishment was
flooded as early as Saturday last, and we were COM
PEELED to beat retreat to our present premses-the

A New-York merchant informs us that
be met on Friday and Saturday three solid
business msn of our city no had just
made up their minds to vote for Lincoln.
One of them said:

am before all things Union man. and L
cannot countenapce any party that seeks
to win an election by threatening Dis
union" Another said: at is clear that
Lincoln is To be elected, and the only ques-
rion to be settled is, Shall his election be
respected and obeyed. as elections have
hitherto been or shall there be serious
attempt 10 break up the Union 2 1 shall
vote for Lincoln merely to emphasize the
determination of the American People TO
maintain the Union at all hazards. 1
shall vote for him TO give due notice that
all schemes of Disunion must fail The
third said: "We cannot stand three
months more of political Psnic-making in
order to affect the Presidential Election -
We must settle the question now, or busi-
ness will be wholly arrested. To throw
the election into the House, where no one
has a majority, may not break up the Gov
eminent but 1t will certainly protracI the
present anarchy and uncertainty until
March next. | cannot stand this; and /
shall vote to close siie contest at once
These three instances occurred within tue
limited observation of single merchant;
there are doubtless hundreds like them,
and probably thousands. Unless we are
grossly deceived, the late political panic.
so wantonly produced for partisan and
stockjobbing purposes, has added largely
to Lincoln's vote. Judicious friends now
say that Lincoln will have nearly or quite
40 900 in our city.


We trust the engineers will not be dis
couraged, but go ahead. If they have
done their worst with the Stock Market

bring nearly every one who has ahythins
