A DEED OF HORROR. Hoar u Citizen of Petersburg1 Escap *4 Being a Murderer. When a well-known young man re turned home a few nights ago—aftei the shades of evening had enveloped his bed room and the only light there in was from the shadows of the pah moon, through the trees—he war greatly surprised to find an occupan in his conch. The dim light permit ted him to discern the garb of a tranq upon the intruder. The young man’: hair stood on end. Quick as a flasl he thought a thousand things. If tin stranger should awake he might kil him, and he must defeud himself Picking up a chair lie rushed to tin bedside and brought the chair dowr with a crash upon the silent form There was uo groan, no movement, the form upon the bed was lifeless The young man had committed murder ! Lighting the lamp, a hasty investigation showed that he had struck a “stuffed man” placed there to frighten him, and he thanked his lucky stars thathe so narrowly escaped being a murderer. Improvements at Ayershire. At Ayershire mines twenty- coke ovens' are being put in position. It is the iutention of the management to increase the number of ovens to 100, which would cause the. employment of about 600 men in the mines, and the men could be worked during winter on the regular supply of coal and in summer furnishing coal for coking purposes. This would employ the men all the year round. The people in that part of the county are congratulating themselves upon the improvement, and think it will prove a great advantage to them, bringing men and trade, and giving impetus to everything in the neighborhood. We trust their hopes may be realized. Jasper Willis called Monday and reports his wheat in excellent condition. His ground was plowed early and the wheat has been sown about three weeks. lie is very sanguine of the coming of better times with the good crop of corn, and that the outlook for the farmer is full of encouragement. And we all know that with the good times to the farmer comes prosperity for the most if not all of the people.

Judges Welborn and Malott, at different times, decided that the appointment of Jos. I. Sohuhmaeher as Clerk of Dubois county, by the Commissioners was legal. It will be remembered he was appointed to till the office to which Mr. Greene (deceased) had been elected but had not qualified. Gossman, the defendant, still holds the office, and has prayed for an appeal from it'el born and Maiott’s decision. “Doctor,” said a despairing patient to his physician, “I am in a dreadful condition ! I can neither lay nor sit. What shall I do ?” I think you had better roost,” was the reply.' Now, if wo consider that this poor fellow was all contorted with rheumatism, the doctor wovkl have done much better l>v prescribing a bottle of Salvation Oil, which would have relieved his patient at once. Price 25 cents a bottle. In a few davs all the schools in the county will have commenced their great and good w ork. The attendance promises well everywhere, and this augurs much for the success of the schools. Teachers will have a stimulus for greater work, and the pupil can not help but make rapid improvement. The auspicious beginning will have an excellent effect upon both tiro teacher and the pupil, 'A young man named William Taylor, whose home was opposite Vincennes in Illinois, died last Saturday under circumstances which led to "a Coroner’s inquest and the following verdict: “The jury finds, according to the evidence, that" the deceased came to his death by poison administered by Frank Avery or Ins bartender, Peter McCarthy, in the city of Vincennes, Knox county, Indiana.” * Some people would speak ill of everything. Nothing would escape their venomous tongue, or be fairly treated by their baud, which' knows aught but cunning duplicity, defaming, villifyingand scandalizing. Their eyes and ears are elosed lo all that is not low, vile and Vulgar. They can not see the bright side, or hear whisperings of purity and refinement. Daviess County Democrat: ThOs. A. Bynum has become the editor of the Pike County Democrat and has purchased an interest in the paper, lie is an intelligent, active young newspaper man, aud will add greatly to the Democrat, which is already one of the ablest journals in the First district. It is worth remembering that nobody enjoys the nicest surroundings if in bad health. There are miserable people about to-day with oue foot in the grave, to whom a bottle of Parker’s Tonic would do more good than all the doctors and medicines they have ever used.

Mason & Morgan’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin troupe played to a large audience at Schaefer’s Hall, Monday night. - The characters of Uncle Toni, Eva, Marks aud the Quaker were well acted, and were (ho usual combination of pathos and comedy to attract and amuse. « Rev. C. W. Yates made reference to the evils of dancing iu his sermon last Sunday morning, and Rev. D. T. Davis devoted his remarks in the morning to intemperance, Rev. W. A. Richardson tilling the M. E. Church pulpit in the evening. Oakland City Enterprise : Dr. 'Wilson McGrew, of Pike county, and Miss Miunic Fuller, of this place, were united in marriage at the G. B.

Merchant's Bureau of Eutertainmeut. Many persons who may have a desire to visit St. Louis during the week of the great Fair and Veiled Prophet’s pageant hesitate because of the possible lack of hotel accommodations. To provide agaiust this contingency, the wholesale merchants and manufacturers of St, Louis have for several years past maint ained a Bureau of Free Information, and all who apply arts directed to respectable private families and boarding houses where pleasant accommodations may be had at reasonable rates. The public may lie assured that a tuple provision will be made for all, thus effectually preventing extortion and imposition. The oflioewill be located at the railroad ticket office, south-east corner of Broadway and Chestnut street, and no charge of auv kind is made for any service rendered. A Physician’s Testimony. In the treatment of lung and bronchial diseases the liver is often implicated to such an extent that a hepatic remedy becomes necessary in effecting a euro of the lungs. In the treatment of such cases I prescribe Simmons Liver Regulator with entire satisfaction. I find it acts mildly but effectually in regulating the s'eoretions of the liver, stomach and bowels. I.

A Trip to Winslow. Seated behind W. J. Bcthell’s 2:40 bay horse, we made the trip to Winslow last Friday in about ICO minutes. We made the dust fly in the face of every one—going in the opposite direction—and arrived there about 11 o’clock. After miugling with the people an hour we took dinner with the clever host, Chas. W. Ellis. John Whitman’s genial smile and one of his. choice cigars made us glad that we visited Winslow. The place will no doubt be greatly improved if it should be incorporated, which is likely to occur. The people have been unfortunate with enterprises that would tend to improve and build up the town. A newspaper which they backed about a year ago was suspended by the proprietor folding his tent like the Arab and silently stealing away, leaving the prominent citizens, among them C. W. Ellis, George B. Ashby, Charles Fettiuger and others to “hold the bag.” The flouring mill is being removed to Oakland City; and some persons unfriendly to Winslow have started the rumor that the depot was to be removed to Goldthwaitc. This is not credited at all. A jesting citizen suggested that rumor will chauge the course of the river and remove it far from Winslow. Despite all these difficulties, there may yet be a great change wrought in Winslow. Energy and industry accomplish wonders. Winslow is well represented in the business line, as the following will show: Dry goods dealers, A. Whitman, Brenton & Martin, Jessup & Cookcrly; groceries, Chas. H. Jenkins, F. T. Woodward, Milov & Selby, Joe Milard; hotels, Ellis House, Ho'llon House and Crow House; drugs, George B. Ashby and W. F. McCoy; hardware atid furniture, Beardsley Bros.; Fettiuger & Beasley, liverystable; the Misses Brenton, milliners; blacksmith, F. E. Muring; saloons, Jos. E. Pipes, W. F. McCoy, John Alstadt and J. M. Johnson. The professional gentlemen are not many, but they have a good practice. Among those we met Dr. David DeTar and Dri L. E. Woodward.

From Union. Schools all opened on 21st of September. We need a good harness shop at Union: who can favor us so much as to put up one? Miss Jennie Patterson has just recovered from a sei ions illness. Miss Let tie Huey will arrive home this week from Ireland, where she has spent the' summer, William Colvin is erecting a blacksmith shop and a barn. Still Union continues to improve. Wc would be glad to sie the side-walks of Union repaired; they are somewhat dangerous as they are at present. M. V, Hargrove has just returned from a trip to Cincinnati, where he went to purchase a winter stock of goods. Some of our best citizens will soon grace the streets of Petersburg with their presence.

“TICKET, SIR." A Popular Conductor Says: I consider it my duty to impart some very valuable information to my friends and acquaintances, as many of them know the unpleasant condition under which I have labored in performing my duties as conductor of the Georgia Central railroad. Some months ago I became afflicted with a severe attack of Rheumatism, and I desire to state how I was cured. It Increased in violence until X could no longer get in and out of the ears without assistance. While thus suffering all the agonies of this dread disease and ready to abandon my position through sheer necessity, I was Induced to try B. B. B. THE EFFECT WAS TRULY MAGICAL. I had no idea that a medicine could produce such an effect in so short a time. I experienced a wonderful change before using half a bottle. After taking only four bottles, I find myself to-day a well man. This splendid medicine effected a cure no less wonderful in the case of my wife, who was also terribly afflicted with Rheumatism. She obtained complete relief and perfect restoration to health after taking the same number of bottles I did. 1 take much pleasure in recommending B. B. B. to my friends as FIRST-CLASS. I refer to Mr. It. Schmidt, Agent C. R. R. Atlanta, and to C. R. R. Agent, Macon, and l>r. Hape, Atlanta. J. T. GOODMAN; Conductor Central R. R.

RHEUMATISM. Although a practitioner of nearly twenty years, my mother Influenced me to procure B. B. B. for her. She had been confined to her bed several months with Rheumatism, which had stubbornly resisteil_all the-usual remedies. Within twenty-four hours after commencing B. B. B. I observed marked relief. She has just commenced her third bottle, andis nearly as active as ever, and has been in the front yard with “x-ako in hand,” cleaning up. Her improvement is truly wonderful and immensely gratifying.
