NO MORE GOSSIP.

[From the Indianapolis Daily Sentinel.] If we are correctly informed, St. Jacobs Oil is now the usual tea-party topic in place of the former staple—free gossip. How wise a..d how much more beneficial! People who take law into their own hands generally deal out humanity—not law—and often materially aid the ends of justice. Robert Smith, a North Carolina farmer who had been annoyed by thieves, shot and killed a man who came upon his place. The intruder proved to be an honest stranger, with no intent to steal. Smith was convicted of murder iu the first degree, and sentenced to be hanged. His neighbors sypathized with him, and failing to get executive clemency, forcibly released him from jail, and sent him secretly out of the State. [From the Milwaukee Sentinel.] That wonderful remedy for rheumatism, St. Jacobs Oil, has been used by a large number of the people in this city, and with effect truly marvelous. Frequent reports are made where sufferers have been afforded relief, and the sale is growing largely. The fact that it is an external remedy commends it to many who would not otherwise think of going out of the beaten track to find a remedy. A distinguished looking man appeared in a California town, and, falling ill, could not tell his wants in English. Several Germans visited him, and he talked to them, asking one of them to write his will, in which he described himself as Count Carl von Schiller, and gave to each of his benefactors from 10,000 to 15,000 ducats. Renewed attentions were paid to him; but now he is in jail.
