Mc LAN E'S CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS, FOR THE CURE OF Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint, DYSrttrSIA AND SICK linADACIIB. Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. PAIN in the right side, under the edge of thc ribs, increases on pres sure j sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under thc shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to thc top of thc shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in thc arm. Thc j stomach is affected with loss of appe lite and sickness; thc bowels in gen- j eral arc costive, sometimes alternative with lax; thc head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy i ' sensation in the back part. There io ! generally a considerable loss of mem ory, accompanied with a painful sen- ! sation of having left undone some thing which ought to have been done, i A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa- ! tion of thc skin; bis spirits arc low; and although he is satisfied that exer cise would bc beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts : every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex- ; isled, yet examination of the body, j after death, has shown the LIVER to have been extensively deranged. AGUE AND FEVER. DR. C. MCLANE'S LIVER PILLS, IN CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken with Quinine, are productive of thc most happy results. No better .cathartic can bc used, preparatory to, -or after taking Quinine. We would .advise all who are afflicted with this .disease lo give them a FAIR TRIAL. For all bilious derangements, and as a simple purgative, they are unecpialed. BEWARE OF IMITATIONS.

Ne'er forgot their tireless walsh, Kept hy day and night, Taking from her step the grace, Iroin her eye tho light. Cherish well her faithful heart, Willoh through weary years, Echoed with its sympathy, All thy smiles and tears. Thank Cod for thy mother's love, Guard tho priceless boon! Eur the bitter parting hour Cometh all ton soon. When thy graceful tenderness Loses power to save, Earth will hold no dearer spot Than thy mother's grave! The Trade of Now York. Tho magnitude of this grain trade of Now York may be judged from a few sta tistics. During thc week ending Septem ber i>, the receipts at this port wore: Flour, 112,1.24 bar. els; wheat, 2,271,402 bushels; corn, J .327,014 bushels; nats, 270,355 bush oh?; rye, 130,880 bushels; barley, 1,100 bushels-about us much as waa re ceived at all thc other sea-board ports to gether. Daring the same weuk thc exports of broadflVufli? from New York included 113,224 bairds of flour, 2,510,100 bushels of wheat, 9M,623 bushels of corn, 2,99G bushels of oats, 103,701 bushels of rye. At thc last dato named, September G, tho amount of grair,- in our city granaries and afloat in our Imrbo.r embraced in round num bers, 3,750,100 bushels of wheat, 3,100,000 bushels of corn, 8).0,v000 bushels of oats, 100,000 bushels of rye, and 20,000 bush els of barley. Tho gra.'n of all sorts in store nt New York was 0,332,035 bushels. Thc storage capacity of tl>0 port is about 12.000,000 bushels, but tho present active demand for grain for foreign shipment, due to the general deficiency ol European crops, prevents any largo accumulation hero. Indeed, tho bulk of shipping uovoted to tho transportation of grain from this to foreign ports is ot this season Boiuclhing 11 o preceden ted in thc history of ibo world. During the week ending September IO (six Jays), thc clearances of flour and grid o for Kuropo alono embraced eighty fivo vessels [45 balks, 30 steamships, 4 ships, 5 hrn/s, 1 j tolioonor), carrying a grand total of 78,112 | barrels ol flour, 1,042,218 bushels of wheat, ind 1,240.092 bushels of com. Tho prom-I sc for thc current week is still greater. During the j oar 1878 tho receipts of I rrain alone at this port were, by canal, 33,003,040 bushels; by vessel coastwise, 1,090.280 bushels; by vail, 08,000.480 'v.J--a total of 128,013,771 bushels, j Ufcl* . floUi" ?nd meal to their cqtiiva llianging. ?||0 f^aoipts of grain, flour, Bnts in bushels,- , , 152 802,170 nd meal were, during v.. ?) OM, . t ?.y .uslicls. During tho same period ,?>.? lort of cereals from New York amounted ld 07 819,014 bushels, thc export? from all he ot her Atlantic ports together (including o\:troul) hoing 104,078,187 lenco enough that our city ?u!? !.,old3 tho ion's share of this irado. On September 13, seven largo steamers tailed from New York for Europe, laden ?vitli American produce ns follows: The Helvetia, of the National Steamship Une) for Liverpool, had on board 1,200 bales of colton, 84,000 bushels of grain, 300 boxes of bacon, 900 boxes of cheese, 150 packages of butter, 700 sacks of iluur, 200 cases of conned meats, 200 packages of sundries, and 45 tons weight ol* fresh meat.

The Ethiopia, of tho Anohor Line, for Glasgow, carried 40,000 bushels of oom, 1,700 barr?la of flour, 6,000 saoks of flour 4,000 boxes of ohccHO, 20 hogsheads of tallow, 150 tierces of beef, OOO boxes of bacon, 7,000 packages of butler, 900 quar ters of fresh hoof, ?lid 200 carcasses of shoop.

This, it must be borne in mind, includes only tho more important shipments hy steamers. A vast amount of produce, particularly groin, is exported in sailing vessels.-Sc ?cn If/to A mer icu n. On Tho War Path. MILK UIVER, COI.., September 20. Thornburg's command was attacked in a canon ut noon to-day, ono milo South from hore, cn our march to tho agency, and retreated in good order to thc wagon train, whero wc aro now (4.30 P. M.) entrench ing ourselves. Thornburg was killed in stantly during tho retreat. Capt. Payne was wounded in two places slightly. Lieut. Paddock and Capt. Crimes wero also pain fully wounded. Ten enlisted men and Wngonmaster McKinstry wero killed and twenty fivo men wounded. The command is now very well sheltered, but now and then arc boord thc guns of new hostiles who have just orrived. Our mules and horses aro getting it all around. Tho red devils fired thc grass all around us to burn us out. MILK RiVKRi Con, September 29.-9 P. M.-Wo still hold our position. Every man is busy digging trenches nnd hauling out the dead animals for defence to morrow. We expect to bo attaoked nt daylight. Our courier, Joo llaukin, has volunteered to oarry dispatches to liamling's. Mr. Gordon's freight outfit of Indian supplies near us has been burned, also tho company wogous of Company F, Fifth Cavalry. About three-fourths of our horses and mules h a va been killed. Should reinforce ments reach us in five days wc con bold out very well with ammunition. CHICAGO, October 1.-Dispatches to Gen. Sheridan corroborate tho foregoing. Thornburg's command consisted of thrco companies of cavalry. Thc indians, who were several hunrlrod in number, wero of tho Ute tribe and said to be well armed and very bravo. Over five hundred soldiers aro ordered to rendevous at Kamling'o and will reinforce tho imperilled party ns soon os possible. lt was apparent that only one man wos killed. i Hs,budy was found in n bug, and it proves to bo that of a militiaman. OoDKN, UTAH, October 1.-Major Bry an, of the 14tb Infantry, with four compa r??09, left here this afternoon for tho relief }f Major Thornburg's commond. WASHINGTON, October 1. - Prom tho julian bureau it is ascertained that thc fol ow'uig are among thc causes which led to the (gilt nt Milk Uiver, Colorado: In June last u irruption of miners upon tho Whito liver Utes' reservation caused i'.l-foeling niong tho Indians, who wandered off thc eservalion and committed a number of ucendiaiy acta. On September 8, Agent decker reported that the Indians insisted n his discontinuing ploughing land which hey wanted for pasture. A ploughman vas fired on whoo thc agent called for a iouncil, which resulted in a rciuoMfti con ??t to iiav'O Ibo work prooccd. 'On Sop ?n) ber 18, Meeker telegraphed that ho had >ocn assaulted by Chief Johnson and forced >ut of his .house, and asked thc Govern nent for protection, *hioh WW ordered. Major Thornburgit's command was bound hither when attacked, it i? rouicu l?8t Meeker and nil on tho reservation, bavo been nassacrod. Tho Latost from Tild?n. WASHINGTON, September 28.-Mr. Tilden has been heard from again through ? gentleman who arrived herc this morning, mid who has been quito prominently iden lilied with his political iutorosts. Thc gen tleman spent two days with Mr. Tilden lately ul his country scat. Ile represento Mr. Tilden us lakh g a very deep interest in the re election of Go vernor Dobinson, and not so muoh on iicoouut of its general bearing upon thc election of 1880 as on account of his de sire to crush John Kelly and Tammany Hall, lie says that Mr. Tilden is, if poa Bible, doing moro to elect tho Democratic candid.ito for Governor than if ho wore himself the mau. Iiis political sagacity and large experience a.o being brought into full play, and he is contributing largely from his personal means to curry out his own plan of tho campaign. Ho has made up his mind to destroy John Kelly and Tammany Hall, if this cnn possibly be accomplished. Concerning tho result of tho next no tional campaign, tho gentleman abovo re ferred to, represents Mr. Tilden ns greatly discouraged. Ho says that so strong is this feeling that Mr. Tilden is not giving him self nearly so much concern to seouro the nomination os tho publie sceme hiolincd to believe. Mr. Tild?n hos reasons for not valuing tho Domooratio nomination very highly just now, und they wero thus stated: Tho Somborn Democracy hos handicapped tho Northern wing of tho party to au alarm ing oxtcut during the lust two yours. Tho attitude of tho Southern Domoornts upon financial questions, their many blunders in Congress, their ropudiatioo of their Slate dubts, their intolerance und outrageous treatment of thoso who differ with them in politics, and lastly thc many unpunished and condoned political assassinations Mr. Tilden thinks illy calculated to moko tho Doniocrutio nomination very desirable, ex cept to a candidato who inigh bo content to run simply for tho houor of leading tho party in tho race. Mr. Tilden is repre sented, however, as being satisfied that ho cnn obtain thc nomination if ho wanta it. Horrible Butchery. WHITE SU KIMMI II SPRINGS, WKST VA., September 27 -Tho horrible details of an atrocious attempted murder and a suicido which occurrrcd in thc extremo portion of Grcenbrier County, West Va , hove been received herc. Mr. Frederick Harvey, who resided near Muddy Creek left his home a few mornings ago, telling his stepdaughter that ho was going to attend a religious moot lug nt IQimmucl Church. Soon after wards he waa'soon going in an opposite direction, and to parties who met him he said he had changed hi? mind und would go to hear Kev. Mr. Van Horne preach a fune ral sermon. Instead of visitiog either of thc plaoca mentioned ho went to thc house of Mr. Gcorgo Fesmaster, with whoso family he dined. Ho remained thcro until late in tho evening, when he returned home and engaged in conversation with his step daughter. Ho Bpoko quite dcliberntoly, mid not only stated that ho had been to hear Mr. Van Horne's sermon, but went so far as to criticise tho charaotor of thc dis course, and even mention the names of Bovorol purties who were there. Nothing occurred at this limo to create tho suspicion that ho then contemplated anything unusual, l?ut abruptly bringing to a oloso his talk about tho funeral sermon, he approached his stepdaughter, seized her by tho hoir and told her ho was going to cut her throat. She took this sanguinary remark in tho light of a joke nud fairly laughed nt him. In another instant ?ho realized the horror of her situation. Thc glittering blade of a knife flashed boforo her eyes and she folt tho sharp sting of tho weapon in her ncok. Then began a fearful strugglo for life. Harvoy held her with tho grip of a maniac, from whioh she found it impossible to rolpnse herself until she was fearfully gashed mu? stabbed. Sho received six wounds on her hoad mid nock, two of whioh partly severed thc windpipe. Two were on tho sido of tho neck, ono of them just grazing thc carotid nrtery, one commencing on the sido of tho face, passing over and cutting off tho lower end of ono oar, passing around tho head mid stooping- just behind thc other car, and a small gash across tho bridgo of tho nose. Besides theso BIIC reocived two gashes on thc shoulder, ono hand was out across tho palm to thc bone, nud thc fingers on both hands were badly cut. At Inst, although covered with gore, she nuecccded iu freeing herself from thc tnnn'u grasp and escaped barely with her lifo. Tho would bo murderer then deliberately drew thc knife ncross his owu throat, literally scveriug it from car to car. Ho iidl and instantly expired. An inquest was' held tho following morning, and u verdict rendered in nccordanco with tho facts as stated. Tho recovery of tho young wombil is extremely doubtful. Harvey is believed to have been in n state of religious frenzy, bordering on insanity, though eomo persons think tho murder and suicido \;'cre prom cd ?to ?cd. No cause or motive for thc tragedy can bc ascertained. [From thc Columbia Jlegistcr.J A Touching Offering, We append a note addressed us editori ally, which; (ho?gh marked "private," is too touching and tendera tributo lo a noble old private of tho Confederate ranks to bo withheld.

I nm, doar air, respectfully Your obedient servant, Our Railroad. It is thc purpose of tho Directors of tho Belton, Williameton and Eau?cy Railroad to commence work at oil carly day, provided tho necessary oouvict labor can be procured from thc State, lt is true that tho capital stock subscribed ot this timo is compara tively small, but wc aro assured by respon sible parties that when the work is com menced additional subscriptions will bo made, and that thc work will not bo allowed to stop. To givo our readers an idea as to what can bc doric with fifty convicts, ou a capital of $2,000, wc have, by thc assistance of a prominent and experienced railroad may, made a calculation, which can be safely relied upon. Tho wheel barrows, shovels, picks, oxes, four mules, four ont Ut and cooking utensils will cost ?050. This deducted from tho two thousaud dollars will leavo a capital of ?1,350 to opciato with. Tho cost of feeding thc prisoners ot fifteen couts each per day (this wo oro informed is twice tho amount required on tho Greenwood and Augusta Hoad,) tho biro and bourd of four guards and overseers will amount to $10 per day, or 8300 per mouth. Upou this eopital 4} moDths of work omi bu done, in which time four m.les of road can bo graded. Over ten thousand dollars havo already heed subscribed, and 20 per cent, of this will give tbe ?2,000;, but tho subscribers at this place, or a largo j majority of thom say they are willing to. < poy 50 per coot, of their subscription first I November next, (and some say they arc i willing to doublo their subscription.) If all ] will do this, a fund of 85,000 will bc raised ? which will work 100, conviots nearly seven < months ond grado about twelve miles of thc i rood towards the mountaiuB or twcnty-fiv.o t miles from Mosley South. i If tho three townships in Andcrsoo \ County, io which it is proposed to tako a I vote on tho question of subscribing six t thousand dollars in each, should vote tho . subscription, then wo would have a capital i of 828,000, which will grado tho road to i the North Carolioa linc. From this point I thc North Carolinians will carry tho road i on to Asheville. But if thc townships in i Anderson County should fuil lo voto tho i subscription, thc money can an J will bo t procured from other sources, and when thc road bed is graded, the iron and roiling stock can bo procured. So viewing tho e enterprise from almost tiny standpoint, its ( prospects are bright, and it BCCIIIS, beyond 1 any doubt, an aocojgyslishcd fact. This is s no exaggeration.-T???kens Sentinel.

Ii 6 that bo HO, there will not be a half crop mode, c There is no room for doubt, wfrcri seven- <] eighths of t'.ic crop has already p/pened and r been picked, or is ready for piclAing. Two r other facts, of which there ia no doubt, I) inl'st bc taken into consideration: ti 1. Tho July orop has opened pro?ihturcly, p tho bolls not averaging two-thirds their S full growth. f,[ h 2 The lint is so dry ond light' iT?a't it takes a larger bulk thou usual to make thc marketable balo of four hundrrtf-nud fifty pounds. e Old experienced pincers in tho middle i sountry aro estimating thc prop ot not moro 0 than one-third thc overage y i ?.ld per here. ft These ore facts, and not quch.'ions for , disputo Tiloso facts aro makiog visible ] impressions upou tho market, because tht.7 0 uro not confined to South CoroliuaJ*?but the h samo summer and fall droughts hoYg^pro (1 vailed' generally throughout tho colnni t? States. While the season has been unpiCr a ccdent'dly favorable for picking, it has (, been singularly unfavorable for producing tho fruit in August, and for tho full matu* ring of tho July crop, so promising a month ago. Independently of other causes bc 11 youd tho knowledge of the cotton planter,.

Thc woman who unscxes hernelf is certain to come to grief sooner or later, and thc sooner tho better for her. Tho facts aro as follows; Aa elegant dressed young man and lady wore walking along Loyd street opposite tho Markham House. When they had neared tho tele graph office a lior.se attached to a dray oamo lashing down the street. As tho runaway liorso approached the couple, strange to say, tho bravo young man shrieked and fainted.
