IMPORTANT TO VOTERS.
The next election in Pennsylvania will
be held on Tuesday, the 4th of November.
Voters must be assessed two months
preceding the election, that is, on or be
fore Thursday, September 4th.
Voters must have paid a State or Coun
ty tax one month preceding the election,
that is, on or before Saturday, October 4th.
Failure to pay tax in season deprives
the voter of the privilege of suffrage. An
elector can swear in his vote, though he
be not assessed, but the neglect may cause
him much trouble.
A SENATE reporter for the Associated
Press, named R. F. Boisseau, died in
Washington on Monday morning of con
sumption, aged 38 years.
THE yellow fever is still doing its fear
ful work in Memphis. New cases average
about 'en a day, and the death rate about
half that number for every . twenty-four
hours.
IloN. E. N. SCHROCK, member of the
Legislature from Somerset county, has
been arrested and held to bail to answer
the charge of having violated the election
laws by securing his nomination through
bribery and fraud.
MAJ. JOHN BELOTHERLINE, a prominent
citizen of Hollidaysburg, died suddenly at
his home, in that place, on Tuesday last,
of heart disease, aged about 68 years. At
the time of his death he held the office of
Register in Bankruptcy.
AT a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday the
Attorney-General rendered his opinion to
the effect that the arrears of pensions un
der the late law went to the inmates of the
Home for disabled Volunteer Soldiers, and
not to the Homes, as claimed by the man
agers.
It Registering Assessors properly dis-
charge their duties, they must be at the
polling places in their respective districts
two days preceding the 4th of Septem
ber for the purpose of registering the
names of all voters who may apply. It is
important that this matter be attended to.
THE ball-dozers of Mississippi have
wined out: nParly thet last reatiee of Re
publicanism, and they are now turning
their attention to those of their own gang
who dare to think for themselves; they
are now murdering each other. Capt.
Dixon, who had announced himself as an
independent candidate for Sheriff, was the
first victim.
A copy of the Daily Village Record,
published at West Chester, Pa., has found
its way to our sanctum, and after a
careful examination of its typography and
its °cveats, we have no hesitancy in pro
nouncing it first class in all its appoint
ments, and worthy a liberal support of the
Republicans of that section. We will be
pleased to have the Record as a daily visi
tor to our office.
TIIK Ohio campaign is now fully under
way, having been opened by Secretary
Sherman, at Steubenville, on Wednesday
night of last week, where he addressed
thousands of his fellow-citizens. Secreta
ry Schurz spoke the same night at Cincin
nati, whilst others of the Republican lead
ers made speeches at different points
throughout the State. Ohio is looked up
on as sure for the Republicans.
JessE R. CRAWFORD, of Blair county,
a gentleman who occupies a high seat in
the Democratic synagogue, has entered
bail for his appearance in the Dauphin
county courts to answer the charge of
crookedness in connection with the at
tempted passage of the Pittsburgh Riot
Bill. We only mention the fact of his be
ing a Democrat, because some persons are
silly enough to attempt to charge this
whole transaction to the Republican party.
IN the Criminal Court of Dauphin
county, on Monday last, Judge Pearson
charged the Grand Jury at length on the
cases of corrupt solicitation of the members
of the Legislature in connection with the
Pittsburgh riot bill. He instructed the
jury to bring true bills against any person
who offered or accepted or agreed to ac
cept bribes of any kind, and if the Com
monwealth cannot produce witnesses to
establish the facts, to ignore the bill
Alexander K. Roberts, of Harrisburg, was
selected as foreman of the Grand Jury.
SAN FRANCISCO had a shooting match
on Saturday afternoon, which may result
in the death of Rev. I. S. Kalloch, a scal
awag preacher, who is the candidate of
the Kearneyites for Mayor of that city.
Charles DeYoung, esq., editor of the
Chronicle, did the shooting on account of
Kalloch, in a public speech to the hood
lums of that city, having slandered his
aged mother. An effort was made to take
DeYoung from the officers for the purpose
of lynching him, but through the aid of
the police, and the interposition of the
State militia, the crowd was unable to get
hold of him. At one time it looked as if
a riot would be precipitated, but wiser
counsels prevailed, the crowd dispersed
and the danger was averted. Public sen
timent is about equally divided. Kalloch
used language towards DeYoung's aged
mother which no man could or ought to
stand, and we don't see how he could have
done anything else than what he did—
shoot her slanderer.
TILE article published elsewhere by a
correspondent, in regard to the conduct of
parties during the recent camp meeting.
presents a picture worthy of the attentive
consideration of parents and all others who
are interested in the public morals. The
picture is by no means over-wrought, the
facts, so far as our observation extends,
being even worse than there represented.
We fully agree with our correspondent,
that it' these are some of the influences
that attend camp meetings, they have out
lived their usefulness, and the sooner they
are dispensed with the better. A few
years ago the man who made such a dec•
laration would have been considered bold,
perhaps, even to rashness, but the filet was
not so evident then as it is now, that the
amount of effective Christian work there
accomplished is so far over-balanced by the
evil resulting of bringing together such
Editor.
promiscuous and demoralized crowds as are
wont to assemble on such occasions. That
camp meetings, as a means ofgood, have ap-
parently lost their former influence, is a
tact which is attracting the attention and
eliciting the discussion of the religious
world. The rehearsal of such scenes is not
calculated to favorably impress the public
mind, and the impression seems to be grow
ing, that the efforts in that direction, how
ever well meant, have failed in accom
plishing the desired result. At all events
the subject is one well worthy of consider
ation, and the hints to parents, contained
in the communication are timely and should
be regarded if they have in view the wel
fare and happiness of their offspring, as
the morals of the community in this town,
and especially those of the gentler sex, are
at an alarmingly low ebb, and the influence
of parental restraint cannot be too prompt
ly or too rigidly exerted.
MR. G EOROE I. YOUNG, a member of
the Middle Penitentiary Commission, died
at his residence, in Philadelphia, on Fri
day last, aged 62 years. Mr. Young had
been suffering fOr some time from a car
buncle on his back, and which eventually
caused his death. From an obituary pub
lished in the Lcdyer of that city, we learn
that when quite young he commenced bu
siness with the firm of Lewis Thompson &
Co., sawing, turning and marble mills,
Eleventh street and Ridge avenue, and by
strict attention to business he was advanced
in position until he was admitted a member
of the firm, and he held that position at
the time of his death. The deceased was
elected a member of the Gas Trust in 1867,
and on the death of Matthew L. Jones,
the late President of the Trust, Mr. Young
wag elected by acclamation to fill that po
sition. He never held any other public
office in the city with the exception of
serving for some years as a school director
in the Fourteenth Ward. He was an ac
tive fireman in the days of the Volunteer
Fire Deratinent, being for many years a
member of the Good Will engine company.
He was also an active Republican politi
cian in the Spring Garden district for
many years.
JOHN W. MATTERN, esq., Chairman of
the Republican County Committee, desires
us to say that the names of the members
of the Committee will be announced next
week. The Committee will be constituted
by the appointment of one person from
each election district in the county, and
each member of the Committee will appoint
two persons in their respective wards and
boroughs, and four persons in their respec
tive townships,properly districted by them,
as a subcommittee to act in conjunction
with the County Committee. We like the
plan laid out by Chairman Matters, and
think it will result advantageously to the
party.
IMPORTANT TO VOWS.
Every man who desires to vote at the
coming November election must be regis
tered two months preceding said election,
therefore September 4th is the last day
for the legal registration of voters. At
tend to this important matter at once. See
that your own name and that of your Re
publican neighbor is put upon the list be
fore that date. 2t.
A Huntingdonian on the Wing.
DENVER, COL., August 16, 1879
J. A NASH—Dear Sir :—I write you
believing that my friends in Huntingdon
would be pleased to hear from the west.
I left Huntingdon Thursday morning, July
30th, nothing unusual transpiring until
we arrived:at Wooster,Ohio, where a wash
out occurred, delaying us twenty.four
hours. The storm was sudden and the
track was flooded for miles. On Thursday
arrived in Chicago, and called upon our
old time friend,Thomas M. Conprobsts,esq.,
who manages for the Singer Sewing Ma
chine Company in the west. He occupies a
responsible position, is as genial and clever
as ever, and is the right man in the right
place. Friday evening we arrived in Bur
lington, where we met our friend, Dr. J.
C. Fleming, who is doing well, being city
physician, and guardian of the poor, a very
responsible position.
The corn crop through lowa and Illinois
is excellent. We remained over Sunday
at Maryville, Mo., a beautiful town sur
rounded by rich farms, and a splendid
point for business. In conversation with
a railroad contractor I learned that laborers
are paid $1.40 per day, and were in de
mand. We lay over at Leavenworth a day
waiting for the train, but one train a day
being run on the Kansas Pacific to Den
ver. Passing through Lawrence, Topeka
and other important towns of Kansas, we
stopped at Hays City, the county seat of
Ellis county. Here our young friends Tom
Metz and Charlie Ramey have started a
store, doing a thriving business. Met Mr.
W. P. Montgomery and Frank, editors of
the Hays City Sentinel. Mr. Frank Mont
gomery is a gentleman, and is as tall and
handsome as our friend T. %V. Montgomery,
of our town. Railroad and Government
land can be purchased here at low prices
The weather is extremely hot at Hays, the
thermometer registering 104° in the shade.
During the winter, which is generally
mild, the mud is nearly two feet deep. We
left Hays at midnight., arriving at Fort
Wallace, on the plains,
for breakfast, and
partook of antelope. At this place we were
obliged to wear our overcoats. Between
Fort Wallace and Denver there are no
towns; one sees nothing but the plains
stretching for miles, until the train arrives
at First View, a station from which the
mountains are seen at a distance of 150
miles. The people through here are en
gaged in herding and live in "Dug Outs."
We gazed intently on the plains, looking
for buffalo and antelope, but saw nothing
hut prairie dogs and small game. If our
Diamond Valley hunters had been with us
we might have shot buffalo "on the wing."
The mountains, as we approached Denver, I
appeared like distant clouds. Arriving in
Denver we ascertained that it was twelve
miles to the Foot Hills. Pike's peak
looms up and is clearly seen 90 miles away.
It is 14,000 feet above the level of the sea,
and is covered with perpetual snow. We
have a full view of the peaks, although so
far away.
Denver is the beautiful and prosperous
"city of the plains." It has a population
of 25,000. The buildings are of brick
and stone, the streets smooth, and shaded
with trees, which grow luxuriantly on ac
count of the streams of running pure water.
It is necessary to irrigate here to grow
trees and vegetables. Denver is full of
business and invalids, and is a great sum
mer resort ; the number of arrivals at
hotels averaging 500 per day. Buildings
are erecting in all parts of the city, and
all who desire can find employment. high
wages are paid : bricklayers and masons
receiving $3.50 to $1.50 per day ; common
laborers receive $2,00 per day. On the
other hand it costs to live here. Provisions
are scarce and dear : potatoes worth $1.50,
and apples $1.50 per bushel. Flour and
feed about same price as at I funtingdon.
Hay is worth $2O per ton. Board, with
lodging, varies from $5 to $2O per week.
A store-room, about the size of the JOUR•
NAL store, rents for $65 per month. I
would advise none to go to Denver with
out plenty of money, which is required to
make friends. The railroads about Den
ver make heavy freight rates, and charge
ten cents per mile for passengers. The
different trades, professions and business
interests are well represented and full.
On Wednesday we started for Leadville,
making the trip, 90 miles by rail, five
miles by stage and eighteen over range on
horseback, in sixteen hours. In the mean
time we were busy looking at the scenery,
camps of tourists and miners, saw mills,
farms, etc. The farming is done in the
small valleys, about a mile long and one
half mile wide. The wheat was ready to
cut., but poor; the oats crop I think is
good. Rounding "horse shoe bend" the
railroad ascends to Kenosha Summit,
10,430 feet above the sea level. Here we
behold South Park, which is a vast prairie
or plateau, 20 miles square, between the
ranges, surrounded by snowy peaks, and a
scenery that is truly grand. The enter
prising farmers are here herding cattle in
vast numbers. Como is seen, the terminus
of the Denver & South Park R. R , a city
of tents and road wagons, a circus tent
answering the purpose of a boarding house,
business signs displayed and the whole pre
senting a lively appearance. We took the
stage for Fairplay, where we met Mrs. W.
K. Burchinell and Miss Jennie Myton who
reside here, enjoying good health and
pleased with their Rocky Mountain home.
Here we hired horses and proceeded to
Leadville by a "near cat" over the moun
tains. Passing what are called "hills"
here, we ascended the bald Horse-shoe
mountains, reaching an attitude of 13,000
feet or 2,000 feet above the timber line.
Here we had a grand view. The top of
this mountain is smooth, or "bald" as they
say here. In the gulches or ravines the
snow appears 30 feet deep The atmos
phere is pure and rare. Descending we
were obliged, on account of steepness, to
lead our ponies. Passing a drove of pack
mules, and the camps of the miners, we
arrived at Leadville about nine o'clock at
night, wet and almost frozen.
Leadville has about 10,000 inhabitants,
besides a large floating population. There
are sonic fine buildings, churches of all de
nominations, smelting furnaces, planing
mills, &c., and presents the liveliest ap•
pearance of any city the same size in the
United States. The Sabbath is not gen
erally regarded. Saloons, gambling-houses,
and places of amusement are numerous.
Th. w00.t1...r in Lcodrit.ly nt pron..at is
cool, with cool nights and frosty mornings,
or like October weather in Pennsylvania.
They have fires in all the hotels day and
night. We here met our former towswen,
lion W. K. Burchinell, Thos. Burchinell
and David Miller, all well, and awaiting
the development of their mines to reap the
harvest and return east millionaires. The
Robin brothers are prospecting at . Eagle
Creek, on the Pacific slope. Returning,
we passed through Mosquito Pass, the
roads being smooth, but rather precipitous.
Did not see any game. 'rook cars and ar
rived in Denver last evening, nearly ex
hausted by our mountain trip. We shall
visit Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Canon
City next week. Net in Denver Mr. W.
Wallace Borst, Superintendent of D. & R.
G. R. W., formerly of Huntingdon county.
In conclusion would say that I am pleased
with Colorado, and have enjoyed my trip
thus far. Yours, very respectfully,
Jos. R. CARNIoN

Sounds from the Seashore.
ROCKAWAY BEACH, August 23, '79,
EDIIOR JOURNAL:—On the southwest
corner of Long Island, about thirty
nii'eiby water from New York city,
extending in an easterly and westerly
direction, there lies a long, low, narrow
strip of sand, evidently thrown up by the
tireless energy of the great, deep, blue sea,
in most part covered with stinted cedars
and a maze of forbidding underbrush. On
the north of this strip of sand opening to
ward the west, there is a bay of sufficient
extent and depth to carry the floating pal
aces to their sheltered and secure landings.
On the south, and for miles, the petulent
waves of the boisterous Atlantic never cease
to roll, to splash, and to break. This is
Rockaway Beach, where the sweltering
crowd from the cities and surrounding re
gions assemble daily to eat, to drink, to
smoke, and gamble, and "roll about" in
the foaming surf.
Not arising to the dignity of a town or
city, scattered for a great distance along
the beach are many cheap wooden houses,
of all sizes and shapes, with piazzas, pa% il
ions and booths, among which are some
well appointed hotels, where the weekly
or monthly visitor is as well provided with
comforts as any reasonble person could de
sire. But everything in and around the
beach indicates the transitory character of
the business of the motley throng that, for
a few summer months, squat there. What
they do, does not arise to the reiture of a
serious business, but is made up of such
pursuits as satisfy human nature in its
whimsical and capricious desires of the
present moment, amongst which are tricks
and traps, limited only by man's ingenuity
to invent, for the sole purpose of catching
the dimes and quarters of the simple and
unwary. Without a thought of benefiting
any one, or an offer to the intellectual part
of man, or the exercise of any degree of in
telligence on their part, with a sort of cun
ning viciousness, those tricksters dupe the
people, and the people will be duped ! For
this very purpose, however, the multitude
has gathered, and the sober proser must
let them run the lightsome circle round.
But to those who see beauty, and glory,
and history, and creative wisdom in the tiny
sand-grain that has been lathed and tossed
for unnumbered years, it is somewhat sur
prising that the people who daily assem
ble at such resorts, are pleased and satis
fied with the frivolous amusements there
provided. Probably not one iu a thousand
returns to his home with a new thought
worth entertaining. There is, however,
to the general frivolous pursuits of the
Beachers, one notable exception, styled
"Allan's Mechanical Wonders," and for
fertility of imagination and mechanical
ingenuity, if not a wonder, is a surprising
curiosity. Wandering amongst the num
ber and variety of collections and works of
art to be found here, the student of art or
lover of nature need not grow weary. But
to us, whose shad )w of life is beginning to
fall to the east, ti.e most impressive fea
tures of the exllWition, produced in vivid
reality, but consigned to oblivion by the
strides of man's genius; shut out from the
present generation by the cloudline of the
past, were these things of the long, long
ago. The landscape and the waterfall with
the fairy dreams of youth are there; the
mossy old mill with its ponderous crude
wheel is there, actually at work as in the
old time, though diminutive in size it sug
gests the thought that these ancient, but
faithful servants would dwindle into insig•
nificance and hide beneath the shadows of
the mighty giants that have now displaced
them. But probably the spot where every
true American patriot will linger longest,
is befure the impressive work exhibiting
Washington Crossing the Delaware. It
makes the heart of the true patriot swell
and burn. It brings him back to the per
ils of our fathers in those eventful days of
the revolutionary struggle. Standing upon
the front of the most primitive style of
water craft, as it is pushed through the ice
by the ragged and tattered oarsmen, clad
iu the quaint habiliments of those times,
is General Washington, calm, confident
and determined, ready to step ashore at
the fist opportunity and begin his mem
orable onslaught on General Rahl and his
hated Hessians. Behind the commanding
general, a number of his officers are stand.
ing in quiet, but contemplative mood, and
guided ;.)y their countenance, there is no
doubt that, on some of them at least, the
momentous question, W hat shall be the
result ?is sorely pressing itself. But we
cannot further follow that very important
movement, the result of which forms so
bright a page in the history of our coun
try; nor can we give in detail the sights
presented in the Museum, we can say only
that the real motions of living, moving na
tune is as nearly represented as it is possi
ble to reach by mechanical contrivance,
and those who go from it without a lasting
impression have no emotions worth the
keeping.
Let us loiter by the waves on the sandy
shore covered with bath houses, and booths,
and bridges, and sand, and people, where
you can sit under cover for a dime, or on
a piazza overlooking the ocean by paying
for all the drinks you can drink, or sit un
der a sunshade ou the clean white sand that
soils neither the blackest silks nor the
whitest linen. Just at the time when the
angry waves cease to roll ; which is just as
well, but few—compared with the multi
tude of visitors—take a dip in the water.
There are enough, however, and varied
sufficiently to make the sight interesting.
The question of the commingling of the
sexes is most emphatically answered in the
affirmative here, for men, women and chil
dren go down together into the great deep,
not in ships, but iu bathing suits, of fig.
ures and styles too numerous to mention,
which, when well soaked, reveals the out
line of the bathers quite too fully for mod
est gazers. The costumes of the ladies are
made with some pretension to rule and
fashion—generally of blue flannel—short
pants, and a coat that a backwoodsman
would call a hunting shirt, but as the suits
are made without any view to fitting, the
extremes of the appearance of those in
them may be well illustrated by imagining
a flour barrel and trout rod in full bathing
costume. The bathing dresses of the gen
tlemen are whatever you choose to imag
ine. The jumping and tumbling about in
the water is regarded funny ; and the name
is very appropriate. Those who bathe for
the exhilarating and invigorating influence
of the salt water truly enjoy a pleasure
that is real, but to see the young and the
old, the timid and brave, the witless and
the wise, the handsome and ugly, the long
and the short, the thick and the thin,
5a...61;e 6 and aplaulting cant in the we.
ter for the sole purpose of splashing and
tumbling about, is funny indeed ; at least
the sight is grotesque enough to provoke
a smile on the face of a very sober judge.
A brave old mamma, who has been there
before, is trying to beguile her bevy of
timid daughters into the embrace of the
briny giant, but they cling to the rope
afraid to go forward, they fear the under
tow, of which they have heard much.
They see a great wave approaching, they
jump, and screech, and scream, lest they
be swallowed up soul and body, while their
more venturesome mamma, further down
the slope, shows her courage by defying
the power of the waves. But the wave
has come and gone without hurting the
timid girls, and to their chagrin, they find
their pretty little under toes have, as yet,
scarcely touched the angry billows. Little
by little, through the coaxing, and encour
aged by the boldness of the maternal lead
er, the bashful maidens venture forward
until the blue waters and pants of blue
form an inseparable union and hide from
view those white, plump appendages of
feminine charms. Just then, ah, fickle
fate ! the mighty deep sends up a huge
wave, more impudent than any of his fel
lows, much beyond the calculation of the
merry splashers, which, with a terrible vi
olence breaks on the shore and in a twin
kle all that was human is buried beneath
the flaming waters, A pang of grief, ab,
no ! before it had welled up to flood our
eyes with tears at the awful catastrophe,
we saw upon the surface of the receding
waters, which seemed to be sneaking away
in shame for the reproachful prank they
had played, a straw hat and white face,
and heard above the hish and roar of the
breakers, the well known and familiar
"ain't you mean !" Right glad were we to
see the bewitching beauties in their well
soaked suits of blue, so tightly gathered
about their exquisite forms, rising from
their watery bed, a little abashed, but none
the worse, and much enteiuraged by this
first immersion in the salty waves of the
fitful sea. But we drew our sunshade a
little lower when we discovered that one
of the charming nymphs, amid the roar
and rush of waves, had lost her trousers of
blue, and with all the pulling and stretch
ing at her command, the hunting shirt re
fused to do duty for both garments. The
dilemma was but for a moment, for the
frisky, but sometimes kindly ocean sent up
a neat little swell, just for the occasion and
carried the blushing bather, all the more
beautiful for her blushes, to a depth of' wa
ter where a straw hat well tied on was the
only needed protection. And now seeing
our heroines enter, with all the vim and
abandon of the more experienced, into the
splashing and tumbling apparently without
fear or dread, and knowing there is but
little danger among so many ropes, life
savers and catamarans, we raised our eyes
to the great waste of waters before us
whose outline seems to creep stealthily into
the mist of nothingness, and seeing the
ve-y white-winged messengers of the deep
were admonished that the golden orb of
day was fast sinking to the western hori
zon, we hied across the strip of sand and
springing aboard the Grand Republic,
very soon Rockaway Beach, with all that
it is and more that it is not, passed to the
dreams of Cyst ANGLE.
The Boyton-Webb Contest.
The swimming match between the noted
swimmers Captain Paul Boyton and Cap
tain Matthew Webb began at 3 o'clock on
Friday morning off Eastou's Beach, New
port, R. I. The buoys around which the
men swam in mile courses, were placed as
fbllows : First, near the west side of the
beach, almost directly opposite the Chand
ler Villa, which is occupied by James Gor
don Bennett, second, nearly opposite the
Forty Steps, at the foot of Narragansett
avenue. Thus the swimming was in plain
view of great crowds assembled on the
beach and along the cliffs. Captain Webb
wore bathing tights and a firm fitting blue
cap. Captain Brayton was dressed in his
rations rubber suit. The swimmers kept
at work steadily up to half-past ten o'clock,
when a mishap occurred which threatened
to end the race.
thyton had wade ten miles and Webb
eight and a quarter, when the latter was
seized with violent cramps, rendering both
legs powerless. Ile was taken from the
water by his trainer and put on board the
yacht Active, remaining out of the water an
hour and a half. He began to swim again
at 11:45, and gained rapidly on Boyton.
Captain Webb's trainer attributes the at
tack to the fact of his not being acclimated.
When Webb succumbed, the men had
been in the water seven hours, and the
strong breeze which had been blowing from
the southwest, made swimming against the
wind both slow and difficult.
At 6 o'clock Boyton had made nineteen
miles and was looking somewhat tired from
the labor of the day. At 7 o'clock he had
made his twentieth mile and was feeling
his way along slowly. Heavy bets were
made that he would not cover twenty-five
miles by 12 o'clock to night, Boyton, how
ever, finished his race at 11:07 P. M. . The
first person to meet and congratulate him
upon his success was James Gordon Ben
nett. In accordance with articles of agree•
meat, Webb was out of the race the mo
went he left the water to go on board the
yacht. There were immense crowds of
spectators on the beach to day, and the city
wore a holiday appearance.
Mortal Combat.
KANSAS CITY, Aug. 24, 1879
Dobbins and Michael Burns,
farmers and neighbors, living six miles
west of here, in Kansas, had a desperate
and fatal encounter on .Friday evening, in
which both were killed. It appears that
Dobbins owed Burns money, and on the
New Advertisements.

evening named while passing Burns' place
was dunned offensively for it by Burns.
The latter having a revoker in his hand,
Dobbins said, "You have the drup on me
nnw, but if you'll wait till I come back
I'll be ready to meet you " Dobbins then
drove home, got two revolvers, went back
to Burns' house, found him sitting on the
door step. and opened fire on him. Burns
went in his house, got his revolver and
rushed on Dobbins. Several shots were
exchanged at very close quarters. Dobbins
received two balls in the chest and one
through the head, while Burns was shot
in the abdomen, the ball passing clear
through the body, and in the right arm.
Notwithstanding these terrible wounds the
men clinched in a fierce and deadly strug
gle, Dobbins falling underneath. In this
position Burns beat Dobbins over the
head with the butt end of his pistol till he
thought him dead, and had partially risen
from the ground, when Dobbins turned on
him and was about to beat him, when the
neighbors arrived and separated them.—
Dobbins died before he could be taken
home and Burns died early the next
morning.
A Source of Much Bodily Evil.
If the habit of body becomes irregular,
much evil is inflicted on the system. The
stomach becomes dyspeptic, bilious symptoms
develop themselves, the circulation is con
taminated, and the nerves share in the general
disorder. It is of the utmost importance that
the bowels should be thoroughly and speedily
regulated when they grow derelict. The cor
rective agent best adapted to this purpose is
Dostetter's Stomach Bitters, a wholesome,
non-griping vegetable laxative, worth all the
rasping cathartics invented since the time of
Paracelsus. People who have been in the
habit of using blue pill, calomel, and other
drugs and cheap nostrums for constipation,
should abandon such hurtful and useless
medicines, and substitute for them this pleas
ant and gentle aperient, which now only pro
duces the purgative effect naturally, but also
strengthens while it regulates the bowels,
stomach and liver. It moreover cures and
prevents intermittent and remittent fevers,
gout, rheumatism, debility and urinary trou
bles. August 1-I m.
