T.—1860 X.—Early in the battle I i was wounded, and carried to this spot by two clever 'Yanks.' They bade roe farewell, and as they supposed, to die, for I was so weak from the loss of blood that I could but faintly j thank them for their kindness. They left in I my canteen a part bottle of PLANTATION BIT ! TEBS, to which I owe my life for it strength ened me, and kept life within me until help I came and my wound was dressed.

They want Agents everywhere, to whom they offer most liberal inducements. We call attention to their advertiesment in another column. Dec.3:lm. TEACHER'S INSTITUTE. —Next week a teach er's institute will be held in this place. We understand that arrangements have been made to have a very interesting and benefi cial session. Certainly there is not a teacher in the county who wishes to prosper in the profession, who will not be willing to give bis aid and his presence on that occasion, and surely there is no school board in the county having the interest of the schools at heart, that will not sanction this enter prise. We think all teachers and directors should feel it their duty to attend the insti tute, for that is the place to discuss school ques tions, and an interchange of opinion while it can do no harm, may be the means of a great deal of good to our school system. THE WEATHER. —At six o'clock on Satur day morning it began to snow, and twelve hours later, we had a bed about fifteeD iches deep. During the night the wind arose and the snow drifted so much, that on Sunday and Monday, the roads were almost impassa ble. Since then, the roads have been broken and sleighing and sledding have been pretty good. On Tuesday it grew colder, and blew fine snow all day, increasing in fury after sunset. About midnight the wind fell, and toward daylight it began to rain, and on Wed nesday morning our deep bed of snow was converted into slush and water, which ren dered travel very disagreeable. Since then it has been raining pretty steady, and we have no signs of quitting as we go to press. Now is the time to insure. When money is stringent, business men should not forget to insure their property. For many a man's wealth is bonnd up in his dwelliag, or bis fur niture, or bis stock of goods. The In surance Company of Hartford Connecticut is certainly the most reliable company in which to place the risk of all your wealth. This Company offers superior inducements to farmers to insure their dwellings or barns. M. A. POINTS, Agent. SUDDEN changes of weather are productive of Throat Diseases, Coughs, Colds, Ac. There is no more effectual relief in these dis eases to be found, than in the timely use of "Browns Bronchial Troches." They pos sess real merit, and have proved their efficacy by a test of many years, having received tes timonials from eminent men who have used them.
