VEGETINE
For Dropsy.
Central Falls, R. I., Oct. 19, 1877.
Dk.Stevens :—
It is a pleasure to give my testimony for
your valuable medicine . 1 was sick "for a
Ioiig time With Dropsy, under the doctor's
care. He said it was Water between the
Heart and Liver. I received no benefit
until I commenced taking the Vegctine;
in fact, I was growing worse . I have tried
many remedies; they did not help me.
Vegetine is the medicine for Dropsy . I be-
gan to feel better after taking a few bot-
tles . I have taken thirty bottles iu all. I
am perfectly well, never felt better. No
one can feel more thankful than I do.
I am, dear sir, gratefully yours,
v, ^ . A. D. Wheeler.
Vegetine.—When the blood becomes
lifeless and stagnant, either from change
of weather or of climate, want of exer
else, irregular diet, or fioin any other
cause, the Vegetine will renew the
blood, carry off the putrid humors,
cleanse the stomach, regulate the bowels,
and impart a tone of vigor to the whole
body.
VEGETINE
For Kidney Complaint
and Nervous Debility.
IsLesboiio, Me., Dec, 28, 1877.
Mr. Stevens
Dear Sir,--1 had a cough for eighteen
years, when I commenced taking the
Vegetine. I was very low) my system
was debilitated by disease. I had the Kid-
ney complaint, and was very nervous—
cough bad, lungs sore. When I hud ta-
ken one bottle I found it was helping me;
it has helped my cough, and it strength-
ens me. I am now able to do my work .
Never have found any thing like the Vege-
etine. I know it is every thing it is re-
commended to be
5 59-4w MRS . J. A. PENDLtoN,
Vegetine is nourishing and strength-
ening, purifies the blood, regulates the
bowels, quiets the nervous system, acts
directly upon the secretions, and arouses
the whole system to action.
VEGETINE

Sick Headache.
Evansville, Ind. January 1, 1S7S.
Mr. II. R. Stevens:—
Dear Sir,—I have used your Vegetine
for Sick Headache, and been greatly ben-
efitted thereby. I have every reason to
believe it to be a good medicine.
Yours very respectfully,
Mrs. James Conner.
411 Third Si.
Headache.—There arc various causes
for headache, as derangement of the cir-
culating system, of the digestive organs,
ot the nervous system, &c. Vegetine can
be said to be a sure remedy for the many
kinds of headache, as it acts directly upon
the yarious causes of this complaint,
Nervousness, Indigestion. CostiveneCo,
Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Biliousness, &c.
Try Vegetine. You will never regret it.

The doctor writes: 1 have a large num-
ber of good customers who take Vegetine .
They all speak well of it. I know it is

The Town ol Henrietta Partially
Demolished.
Terrific Wind, Hail and Rain
Storm.
Special to the Fort Worth Democrat.
JacksHoiio, Tax., May 20—A
storm broke over the town of Henri-
etta at half-past four o'clock to-day,
lasting one hour arid a half. Four
inches ot rain fell, and the full of hail
was enormous, breaking all the win-
dows on the north and west sides of
the houses. In the town six build-
ings were blown down, and F. M.
McGee's diug store was completely
demolished. The loss is estimated
at $3,500. Several causalities oc-
curred,'of which may be mentioned
Mr. J. C. Biaz, shoulder dislocated ;
Deputy Sheriff Campbell, arm frac-
tured and head bruised ; Mrs. Cald-
well, thigh injured; J. II. Hender-
son, head badly cut, and strangers,
who were badly hurt. The wind at-
tained ninety miles an hour.
THE EASTERN QUESTION.
Tlio Prospects for Peace Look
Rrighter.
London, May 22.—The Pall Mall
Gazette this morning has the follow-
ing fiom its Berlin correspondent:
Count Schouvaloff, in conversation
with other diplomatists, described
the proposals he was carrying to
England as pacific. lie seemed
confident that they would not be re-
jected. Baden Biden is again pro-
posed as the place for the meeting of
the congress. It is thought the pro-
posal Will be generally accepted.
Count Schouvalcff arrived at Lon-
don 011 his return from St. Peters-
burg. at six o'clock this evening.
A Berlin special says the semi-offi-
Cial Provincial correspondence antic-
ipates a favorable result from Count
Schouvaloff's efforts. It says that
the latest declarations of the Biitish
ministry, as well as the views mani-
fested at St. Petersburg, are full of
•wishes and hopes for the renewed
consolidation of European peace.
Children Eaton by a Sow.
From W. II. Woodly, of Elysian
Fields, we learned the facts in a hor-
rible affair, that occurred on the
Frank Titrations place, near Sunny
Point. A colored woman woiking
on the place, had gone to the field,
leaving her three children in the ca-
bin ; one, an infant, in the craule,
another, three years old and una-
ble to walk, was sitting oh the floor,
while the third and oldest, was rock-
ing the cradle. A ravenous sow
came into the cabin, and the largest
boy ran to get help. When the
mother and others returned, a most
horrifying spectacle was before them.
The sow had eaten both arms off of
the infant, and otherwise mutilated
it, and the helpless innocent was of
course dead. The animal had also
eaten the feat of the second child,
which also died. The aflair excited
great interest and sympathy in the
neighborhood. It was a very re-
markable case, that a domest'C ani-
mal should show such hyena-like na-
ture.—Marshall Messenger.
Mr. J. M. Offield has sold out his
business in Sherman, Texas, and
added his experience and capital to
the firm of j. L. Hall & Co. This
is one of the strongest combinations
in the southwest. Mr. Hall, the sen-
ior partner of the firm, is one of the
most successful merchants in Central
Missouri. Mr. Offield has learned
the business from boyhood up, and is
a fit associate with the old pioneer.
Mr. Hall. Success to the.new firm,
and may all its old patrons remem-
ber it.—Scdaha Jiazoo.

A Remarkable Earthquake.
Havana, May at.-—An earth-
quake at Venezuela occurred April
14th. The town of Cua, eighty
leagues from Caracas, was entirely
destroyed with surrounding farms.
The river Tuy became heated to
such a degree that the fish sought
refuge outside of the water. The
shocks were felt in Caracas, and was
the heaviest known since 1S12. The
properly in Caracas destroyed
amounted to $100,000.
II:r husband had been playing
base ball, and wlu-n the doctor came
she exclaimed: "Poor Adolphtis!
He got a pitcher in the center field,
arid he can't walk." The doctor
thought it more likely that he had
been playing short-stop to a jug.—

The "Investigation" Question In
tho House.
Washington, iklay 23.—-Mr. liar- '
fison, of Illinois, offered as a ques I
tion of privilege a resolution extend
ing the Potter investigation to Oregon
and South Carolina, and declaring
that it is not the intention of the
House, through such investigation, 1
to amend or attempt to annul the de-
cision of the Presidential question as
made iti the 44-th Congress. The
vote resulted, yetiS, 71 ; nays, 50.
The question of no quorum raised
on the Democratic side, when Mr.
Harrison withdrew his resolution.
Mr. Wilson, of W. Va., moved
to extend the power of the investiga-
tion committee to any State where
there may be well grounded allega*
tion of fraud. Mr. Cox, of N. Y.,
moved to refer Mr, Wilson's resolu-
tion to the Potter Committee.
The Cox resolution to refer, wits
defeated by 89 to 115, aud Wilson's
resolution was adopted witout divis-
ions.
The Telephone at San Antonio.
The San Antonio Express gives
the following report of a test made
with the telephone at that place over
a circuit of 479 miles:
Mr. J. Taylor Bradley, manager
of the U. •t5. Military telegraph office
of this city, and Mr. H. Wineland,
manager of the office at Brownsville,
successfully worked a telephone last
evening, a distance of 479 miles.
Such a teat we are certain, has never
been equaled since the introduction
of the telephone into practical
use.. The /eat was performed in the
presence of the employes of the of-
fice and several citizens. The prin-
cipal matier transmitted was quota-
tions from Shakespeare, Byron and
Moore. The well known toast of
Byron to Moore of "If I was gasp-
ing on the blink, ere my fainting
spirit fled, to thee I would drink,
Tom Moore," was rendered so plain
that you could not but look around
and see if you could discover the
party who made the quotation.
Mr. Edward Dreiss, who was one
of the parties arrested in Piedras
Negras, writes a letter to the Free
Press, stating that the wringing of
the bell was done by a young Mex-
ican merchant who was with the
party, and he alone was fincJ $25.
None of the parties was imprisoned
as at first reported. The funny cor-
respondent of the Galveston News
evidently drew on his imagination
in writing his report of the affair.
When Richmond fell Governor
Smith drew $21,000 from the bank
and paid the State officers whom the
United States has sued. A Wash-
ington dispatch says Solicitor Ray-
nor directs these suits dismissed.
Virginia, the opinion says, was not
herself in rebellion, and the United
States has no more right to this
money under the rule of conquest
than to her State House or State
Library or Virginia's statute of
Washington.
The telegraph being put up from
Saltillo, Mexico, east, has reached
Anhelo, a distance of almost 450
miles from San Antonio, in its course
to Eagle Pass. When completed to
the Texas borde it will be the first
direct telegraphic connection between
the United States and the Mexican
republic. .
The Democracy ot Collin county
hold their convention next Saturday.
The convention will be apt to in-
struct for Throckmorton for Govern-
or and for Congress. *

rogatories, the Galveston News of
the 21st, publishes reports from over
forty counties in tiie State:
1. Does the acerage in cotton,
wheat and corn average more or less
than that of last year? What is the
incfea.se ?
3. What are the leading cereals?
3. State the prospects, present and
prospective, of cotton and of the dif-
ferent grains, etc?
• 4. Has your locality been visited
by any insect pests this spring? If
so, state amount of damage as near
as possible.
5. Give an estimate of the hog
crop for the coming season, with the

9. State what mineral products
you have in your county that you
know of, and how far developed*

7. Good.
8 Condition of stock better than

ing of farmers hopeful.
9. None developed, but extensive

500 pupils.
The citizens of Chicago have be-
come so pious and devotional under
the harrow of hard times and John

longer permitted to cry the daily pa-
pers on Sunday.

Etneson says in his last essay
"That can not be good for the bee
that is bad for the swarm." This is

When the tones of a musical Instrument
become harsh and discordant, we say it is
'^out of tune. " The same may be said of
that far more wonderful and complicated
piece of mechanicism, the human struct-
ure, when it becomes disordered. Not
only actual disease, but those far more
common causes,overwoik mental anxiety
and fast living, may impair its vigor and
activity. The best remedv for a partial
collapse of the vital eni-r«ies, from these
as from other causes, is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, which is .it the same time an
agreeable and mind clieeii: g cordial, and
the best possible invigorant in ali eases'
of debility. It is an incomparable toin*
adiic and anti-biliou's medicine, eradi-
cates fever and ague, and prevents subse-
quent attacks. It remedies with certainty
and thoroughness bowel and kidney coal-
plaints, dyspepsia, nervousness, rheumat-
ic troubles, and many other bodily ail-
ments. It tdso eoumera.ts inlhuncea
which predispose 10 dis- asc.
