Van Wyck, deceased. -???. New Flour.?We have received a sack of new flour from the mills of Mr. E. P. Earle, on Beiverdam creek. The quality of flour is su? perior, and we beg our friend to accept many thauks for his courtesv and kindness.. Among the arrivals at the Nickcrson House, in Columbia, we observe that of "S. L. H?ge, city." Wonder if this individual bears any relation to the occupant of a seat in Con? gress from this District ? The initials, are the same, "but as a matter of course the Represen? tative of a people who never voted for him must be sweltering under his arduous duties in Washington, during the closing labors of the session. He would scorn to be at home elec? tioneering, while the interests of his constitu? ents are suffering for want of attention. Our Williaimston correspondent sheds some light upon the conduct of a certain dis? tinguished gentleman, and we are disposed to turn the matter over to his compeers. But, as some of our friends have expressed a belief that recent allusions in these columns to the President of the Loafer's Club might exaspe? rate that gentleman, and cause a demand for "pistols and coffee," we desire to state that the services of a big, fat, lazy member of the Club have been engaged, and he will do our fighting, if any. accommodations cf that sort are needed. It may be well to hint that he is the same in? dividual who tried to show us the cotton squares, and the bare announcement is suffi? cient to affright the soul of any adversary, much less our peaceably inclined friend at the Springs. -:-~* Fatal Accident. It is our duty to record one of those terrible accidents, so frequently occupying space in the newspapers, resulting, from the careless hand? ling of kerosene oil. It appears that on Tues? day morning last, a young colored woman at? tempted to kindle a fire in a room used as a kitchen, second story of the Benson House, and threw a small quantity of kerosene oil up? on the wood before lighting the fire, as too many people are in the habit of doing. The fire not blazing rapidly enough, she took the oil can and began to pour additional oil upon the wood, when it suddenly blazed up and the ?oil exploded in the can, bursting out the bot? tom, and scattering the flame all over the room. Her clothes took fire at once, and she rushed to an adjoining room, and afterwards upon the balcony, where she was overtaken by several parries, who succeeded in tearing her clothes away and extinguishing the flames. She was dreadfully burnt, and medical aid was summoned without delay. The injuries were pronounced fatal, and we learn that the unfortunate woman died in about fifteen hours after the accident occurred. This solemn warning should be taken by all persons in the habit of using kerosene oil, and especially by such as have heretofore been careless in its management. Union Reform Meeting. The Executive Committee has designated Wednesday, July 27th, for a public meeting at this place, in the round of appointments for Hon. R. B. Carf-oter and Gen. M. C. But? ler in the up-country. We trust that our people are prepared to extend a cordial wel? come to these champions of the Reform move? ment, and that thousands of the yeomanry and manhood of this section will congregate to hear these gentlemen upon the questions now before the people of South Carolina. It is particu? larly desirable that every class of our citizens should be fully represented on that occasion, and that every voter should be present to de? termine for himself the merits of the cause up? held by these distinguished speakers. It will tend to remove prejudices and clear away doubts, if any such exist, as to the fitness of the Union Reform candidates for the high positions they seek. It is necessary that proper arrangements should be made for the meeting on the 27th, and for the purpose of obtaining concert of ac? tion, wc respectfully suggest that the citizens assemble in the Court House on Saturday next at 11 o'clock a. m., to provide suitable com? mittees and devise such measures as will pro? mote the complete success of the proposed mass meeting. The friends of the movement are earnestly requested to be present, and aid by their advice and counsel in perfecting all need? ful arrangements. -?. The telegraphic dispatches for the last week have indicated a general war in Europe.? Prince Leopold, of Prussia, has been tendered the Spanish throne, and objection has been made by the French government. It is thought that this was a declaration of hostility against Prussia, and that Napoleon and Bismarck would again measure strength in diplomacy and upon the battle-field. Military preparations in France were going on vigorously, and all over Europe there-has been the greatest activity and inter? est in the situation. The Prussian government has denied any complicity in the enthronement of Prince Leopold, and alleges that the Span? ish authorities must be held responsible, and not Prussia. The latest information before us leads to the conclusion that the question be? tween France and Prussia will be settled wjth out.resorting to extreme measures. Minority Representation. This subject is attracting attention in every part of this country, and the newspapers are discussing the various methods proposed for an equitable and just arrangement of the electoral vote, whereby minorities will secure a fair repre? sentation in every instance. The most popular method is the cumulative process, and this seems destined to have a fair trial in several States. In a recent able editorial, the Charles? ton News explains the various plans proposed in this country and Europe to secure propor? tionate representation of minorities. The ar? ticle in question sets forth the s cope and opera? tion of six general plans, and precedes this enumeration with the following remarks: The irregularity and the injustice of our present representation system are both plain and unmistakable, and the changing fortunes of political parties give all of them, in turn a bitter taste of the power of a bare majority. As the laws now stand, a majority of one, in the largest constituency, carries with it the en? tire control of the minority. The majority of oue will make laws and unmake them, will take off one tax and put on another more grievous, will act in all things as though it were in very truth the representative of the whole people. And the evil is aggravated by the system of party organization and party tickets now in common use. The vote which elects one mem? ber of the party will, as a general thing, elect all the rest?the majority ticket is elected throughout, and the minority ticket is as thoroughly defeated. No one contests the rights of the majority, under the existing laws, to have a majority, of the representation. But it is argued, and with reason, that minorities, also, have their rights, and it is the aim of the more advanced and thoughtful of the statesmen of the country to devise a practical plan winch shall give mi? norities their just snare of representation with? out encroaching upon the just preponderance of the numcrcial majority. In snort, the problem is to procure a legislative body which, at the time of its election, will faithfully represent the whole body of electors; so that each elector may have a representative to whom he has given authority to speak and act for him, and wdio will represent on the floor of the chamber only as many votes as he has received. The writer then proceeds to explain the plans in the following order: Preferential voting; limited voting; substitute voting; proxy voting; list voting, aud cumulative voting. With the exception of the last named, these plans ap? pear to be cumbersome and complicated, and not likely to obtain general favor among the masses. But the cumulative mode is quite practical, in our judgment, and, as before re? marked, will probably receive a thorough trial. Indeed, as we understand it, the people of Illi? nois are about to test its effect and value, by reason of a clause in the Constitution just adop? ted for that State. A movement is on foot in Pennsylvania which is likely to secure a gener? al test of its utility there. A meeting of dele? gates from counties in Pennsylvania where the Republicans are in the minority was held in Philadelphia on the 4th of July, and a resolu? tion was adopted recommending a State con? vention to be composed of delegates from the minority counties aud districts, with a view to procuring legislation favorable to minority rep? resentation, and that all majority counties and districts favorable to the same be invited to send delegates. It will thus be perceived that minority representation is being discussed among all parties, and we think it most proba? ble will occupy a large share of public atten tiou during the next few years. The general adoption of any plan will produce a complete revolution in our representative system, and will tend to overthrow the dictatorial spirit of majorities which has too often and too long disgraced the legislation of this country. As we expect to have occasion in the future for discussing the propriety of minority represen? tation, there is no necessity for entering now upon the subject at length. We conclude with the explanation of cumulative voting, as given by the News : The sixth plan, which we have purposely re? served to the last, is that of cumulative voting. The theory of this is, that a quota being ascer? tained as before, each voter shall have as many votes as there are representatives to be elected, (either from the whole State, or from electoral district* less than the whole State, as may be determined,) and shall be at liberty to cast them all for one candidate, or divide them among several, as he pleases. This plan has been pro? posed in Congress by Mr. Buckalew, of Pennsyl? vania, and is the plan submitted for approval at the Illinois constitutional elections held on Saturday last. Its operations may be illustra trated thus : "Massachusetts has ten representa? tives in the lower house of Congress ; each vo? ter has ten votes; he may give them to ten candidates, one to each,, or he may cumulate them upon a less number than ten, even to one. One-tenth of the voters may thus he sure of a representative, if they choose to unite upon one person. Thus, suppose the number of vo? ters to be 200,000 and each with ten votes, making 2,000,000 votes in all, of which 200,000 shall be sufficient to elect, the friends of any one candidate might secure the concentration or cumulation of the 200,000 votes cast by 20,000 voters, and those would have one repre? sentative, though all the remaining votes were cast for one person. In practice, no doubt, tickets would he made up by the two parties, and each party would send representatives merely proportionate to its constituency. This plan of cumulative \oting seems to be the sim? plest and plainest yet devised, and, where it has been tried, it is found to work exceeding well. Address of the Executive Committee. We lay before our readers to-day the Address of the Executive Committee of the Union Re? form party. It is a calm, temperate and im? pressive document, setting forth the principles and objects of the organization, and arraigning the present State administration for its extrava? gant abuse of power, proving by official data the enormities pratieed in the name of Repub? licanism. This address deserves to be read by every citizen of South Carolina, and we trust that it will receive a careful perusal from all of our readers. -^ For Congress.?The friends of Maj. Wm. T. Gary have announced him as a candidate for Congress in the Third Congressional Dis? trict, and in publishing the announcement, the Colombia Guardian says: We have announced to-day the name of Edgeficld's distinguished son, Win. T. Gary, as a candidate for Congress from the Third Con? gressional District. Major Gary has taken a prominent staud lately in public affairs, and bids fair to rival in the political arena the high fame of his brother, Gen. Martin W.-Gary, in the field of war. lie is quick, ready, earnest, animated and able iu his speeches, and is des? tined to wield no light influence in the future of South Carolina. ? It is rumored that thore is a strong proba? bility that Secretary Cardoza will be the Re? publican nominee for Governor. We place no reliance iu such rumors, so long as Scott ie in the field. For the Anderson Intelligencer. Williamston, July 9,1870. Mr. Editor : At the earnest solicitation of the honorable President of the Loafer's Club, I write you a line to correct any erroneous opinion that may have arisen in the minds of the brotherhood over whom he has the honor to preside. His indolent majesty would have kept you posted as to the good work going on here, but he asserts-most emphatically that he is too lazy to write. Upon arriving here, he found the loafing material abundant, but in a disorganized condition, and yet which lazily but steadily flocked to his standard. He now occupies the chair with that dignity so charac? teristic of the man and position. Had the members been present and witnessed that scene in the Trial Justice's Court, to which you al? luded last week, not a word of complaint would have been uttered. No labor was manifested, except on the part of the defendant. The Court could only be organized at the rendez? vous of the loafers, and consequently several of that fraternity were empanelled as jurors, among whom was your worthy and highly es? teemed President. He took a reclining posi? tion, with his feet at an angle of 45?, and the only visible sign of movement in his corpulent body was that of mastication, for which he has a strong and uncontrollable propensity. His as? sociates?drilled as they were by precept and example?imitated their worthy leader, and thus the trial waged on. He saw nothing, heard nothing, did nothing, and received noth? ing. It is therefore submitted, there need be no apprehension that the invigorating proper? ties of the water, Justice's Court, or any other influence that will likely be brought to bear in this locality, will divert him from faithfully discharging the duties devolving upon him in promoting indolence. OMEGA. Removal of Political Disabilities.?In the United States Senate, on Friday last, the bill removing the political disabilities of over five thousand persons in the South was taken up and passed. The Washington correspon? dent of the New York World giveffthe follow? ing proceedings in this connection: There were several spats in the Senate to? day on the question of the removal of disabili? ties, and the spirit of the body manifested itself with unexpected vehemence against a general amnesty. Fowler moved to include in a pen? ding disability bill the name of A. 0. P. Nicholson, of Tennessee, ex-President John? son's colleague in. the Seuate at the outbreak of secession. Sawyer (carpet-bag Senator from South Carolina) vehemently opposed this, the opposition being unexpected, Sawyer having heretofore been supposed to be extremely con? servative and in favor of a most liberal amnes? ty, if not one that should be universal. Saw? yer's lead being followed, Fowler withdrew the name. It appears that the Tennessee Conser? vatives arc anxious to make Mr. Nicholson one of the judges of the State Supreme Court, aud the motion to remove his disabilities was made in order to admit of his acceptance of the position. Morton objected to Basil Duke, say? ing he was as bad as John Morgan, whose sec? ond iu command he was, and Duke's name was stricken out. Mr. MeCrcery tried hard to se? cure a removal of disabilities for Gustavus W. Smith, who, he said, was now in Kentucky paralyzed, and in very reduced circumstances, and could receive a small State office in the In? surance Bureau if relieved. Conkling said Smith's conduct in leaving New York city, where he held the important position of street com? missioner, in order to go into rebellion, was unpardonable, and, if paralyzed, it was a judg? ment. The name was then struck out. Drake was very severe on the Kentucky applicants, and said Kentucky was worse than any two of the States that went into rebellion. The whole tone of the Senate was unusually bitter. In the debate, Spencer caused .some merriment by his ignorance of the politics of the State he represented, objecting to Eli S. Shorter, who, he said, was Governor of Alabama in secession times, and on that account ought not to be re? lieved,- it appearing in debate that it was John Gill Shorter who held that office. Wiiittemobe.?The New York Times thinks that the action of Congress makes the election of Whittcraorc void and his place vacant. It says: "The rejection of Whittcmorc by the House of Representatives raises the question whether there is a vacancy in the First Congressional District of South Carolina, and also whether it becomes the duty of the Governor of that State to issue his proclamation and order another election to fill the position for the un expircd portion of the Forty-first Congress. If the House send an official notification of its action to Governor Scott, he must recognize the fact that a vacancy exists. The House is the constitutional judge of the election and qualification of its members, and having de? clared Whittcmore disqualified to take a seat in that body, of course his election is void and his place vacant." ? Mr. John Dillard, near Rocky Mount, N. C, was engaged in filling a kerosene lamp while it was lighted, when it exploded, knock? ing him senseless, and setting fire to the dress of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Wellford, who was badly burned. Mrs. W., at the time, was hold? ing the newly-horn infant of Mrs. Dillard in her arms, which she laid in its swaddling clothes on a table, while she examined her own dress. Mr. Dillard recovering, and seeing what he thought was a mere bundle of clothes on fire, threw them out of the door, not know? ing their precious contents. On being taken up, the infant was found to be dead ; but its death by the fall was no doubt sent in mercy, as its body was found to be burned in several places. Mr. D. was painfully burned about the face and head, and Mrs. W. most shockingly injured. ? The New York World says : "It is a cu? rious fact, and well worth noting, that, while President Grant was suffered to pass tlirough Connecticut without exciting anything even distantly resembling popular enthusiasm, a mention causually made by SenatorCasscrly in his Fourth of July oration of General McCIel lan was followed by such an outburst of ap? plause as compelled the orator to suspend his discourse for the moment. The. truth is that the ignoble worship of mere success has no real hold after all on the popular heart. It is the genuine personal qualities of men that in the long run determine the allegiance to them of their fellows, not the manoeuvres of their po? litical manufacturers nor the whims of destiny." ? The Orangeburg News announces the death of W. T. McKewn. Esq., formerly In? tendant of that town, und one of its most hon? ored and useful citizens. He had been con? nected with the South Carolina Railroad for upwards of thirty years, and had earned a reputation for integrity and honesty few men possess. He was the father of the gallant Ser? geant McKewn, of the Palmetto Sharpshooters, who was killed at Fredcricksbug. ? The Suinlcr Watchman says : The first cannonading that we have heard in our town since the war was upon the arrival of the news that Whittcmore had been rejected by an over? whelming vote of Congress. We need scarcely add that the salute was fired by members of the Republican party. ITEMS-EDITORIAL AND OTHERWISE. ? Andrew Johnson is writing a book in vindication of his administration. ?

Gov. Holden, of North Carolina, has de? clared Caswell county in a state of insurrection, but his proclamation assigns no reason for so doing. "No outrages have been reported, so far as the public knows, for two months. ? The United States Senate has confirmed John D. Pope as District Attorney for Georgia, to fill the place made vacant by the promotion of Mr. Akcrman. He was formerly a Circuit Judge, and is regarded as a good lawyer. ? It is reported that the President of the South Carolina Railroad Company, Mr. W. J. Magrath, coutemplates an early visit to Eu? rope for the purpose of looking after the for? eign indebtedness of the corporation. ? The "Winnsboro News predicts that in ten years the Southern whites, unless the negroes themselves prevent it, will champion negro suf? frage as giving them power in the Union, against a powerful anti-negro partv at the North. ? The Columbia Guardian says that the State at large will be pleased to learn that Dr. John T. Darby has declined the flattering offers mude to draw him from this State, and that he will continue his connection with the medical school of the State University. ? It is asserted, "on the best authority" in Washington, that Secretary Fish has no inten? tion whatever of resigning his position ; that he will not accept the English mission, and that, therefore, the name of anothergentleman will soon be sent to the Senate. ? The Jackson (Miss.) Clarion publishes a correspondence which took place in 18G1 be? tween President Davis and General Joseph E. Johnston, which shows that Mr. Davis did not by order prevent the advance of the Confede? rate forces upon Washington after the battle of Manassas. ? The Columbia Phamix notes the arrival of a splendid new passenger car, of the monitor pattern, intended for the Greenville and Co? lumbia Railroad.

Isaac Davis, formerly a Charleston pilot, but just before the war master of the well known steamer Nina, and largely engaged in the Georgetown trade, died Sunday morning, in Georgetown, S. C. The deceased had been in failing health for some time, aud was about 52 years of age. ? The juries in Laurens have adopted the scaling process on all old debts, and debts du? ring the war, assessing one-half the principal and one-half the interest to 1st of January, 1861. The Herald says that this action of the juries gives general satisfaction, and is founded in equity and justice. ? A careful and reliable gentleman, who has traveled all over. Iowa on railways within a fortnight makes the following statement:?

Captain General De Rodas has at last re? turned to Havana, and reports that no organ? ized opposition to the Spaniards now exist.? Per contra, a Key West dispatch says that the Spanish troops have been defeated in several engagements with the insurgent leaders, and that their situation iu the Eastern Department is decidedly bad. ? An immense fire occurred in Manchester, New Hampshire, on Friday last. The area burned over is from five to six acres, and the amount of property destroyed is not far from $200,000, ouc-half of which is probably covered by insurance At least two hundred families are thrown out of their homes by this awful calamity. ? The Democrats in Congress and elsewhere arc making preparations for starting a party newspaper in Washington, the first number to be issued on the 1st of September. A large amount of capital has been contributed. Jas. E. Harvey, ex-Ministcr to Portugal, is reported as one of the editors. ? The Memphis Ledger says: "The negro is fast becoming proprietor of the soil he former? ly tilled for his master. About five hundred negroes own farms in the vicinity of Memphis, and all their farms are well cultivated, while the farms of a great many white men are cov? ered with weeds. Industry is bound to over? come obstacles and make men rich, while laziness ends iu the workhouse and a pauper's grave" ? A serious difficulty occurred at Gadsden, about twenty miles below Columbia, on Satur? day last. It was at a Radical meeting, and a wdiite man named Epstein had some words with Beverly Nash, when a fight ensued, ending in a general melee and stampede. One man was instantly killed by having one of Scott's mclish run him through with a bayonet, while several were wounded. The accounts are con? flicting, and it is not known to what extent in? juries were inflicted upon the participants. ? The new Department of Justice, now be? ing organized under a recent act of Congress, gives Attorney-deuerul Akcrman an immense deal of patronage. The act consolidates into the new Department all the legal business here? tofore scattered in the other departments, and places the Attorney-General at its bead, with power to fill the responsible positions attached to the Department of Justice. Mr. Akcrman Ecems to be wielding his power judic iously, and has not yet given oflbnee to the friends of I the administration. i Southern Reform.--A vigorous effort (says the Boston Post,) has set in on the part of the people, whose result is beginning to show itself in South Carolina and Alabama, and will soon change the face of the situation throughout that whole section. The people have endured the abuses to which they have been subjected as long as they can, and are now organizing in good earnest to overthrow a tyranny more corrupt and exhaustiug than any that ever entered their conceptions. The kind of local government that could first elect, and then send back to Congress, a man like Whittcmore, is justly open to the severest de? nunciation. It is charged that the reason why Gov. Scott did not interfere with his influence to terminate the "Whittemore scandal, is he cause he is as deep in the mud as the latter is iu the mire. A Convention of people of all parties was recently assembled at Columbia, that appealed to the citizens of the State, col? ored ana white, to join in an earnest effort to rescue the Government from the hands of a corrupt and demoralizing ring, and to uproot the four years' establishment of the rule of ig? norance, vice and dishonesty, in the State. Some of the most distinguished men in South Carolina were participants' in the pro? ceedings. The movement means simply an effort to secure the proper execution of the laws, the just disbursement of the public mon? eys, and the selection of men for official posi? tion who combine with marked ability suffi? cient courage to discharge the public duties with honesty, fidelity, firmness and impartiali? ty. The equality not disputed, the sole issue is the overthrow of the mercenary gang that has disgraced the State for so long" without be? ing held to account for it. It is a wholly con? servative movement in the interest of reform. The spirit of this widespread and simultane? ous action is as liberal and just as the abuses assailed arc gross and indefensible. At length the people of the South are aroused to take their safety into their own hands. The appeals of the new organization to the people at large, who wish nothing more than the restoration of their States to a healthy life, arc made in ex? cellent temper, betraying no other passion than a deep desire of re-establishing right and jus? tice in the place of scallawag ring government and an indiscriminate system of spoliation. They have no escape but in independent and united action, such as they have now seriously resolved upon. ? The New York Herald says Akerman "brings brains into the Cabinet." If he docs, he certainly takes a step for which the history of the present Administration furnishes no pre? cedent. ? The Cincinnati Enquirer says "the inter nal revenue system pursues men from the cra? dle to the grave, and plunders them at every step between the two extremes of existence." SPECIAL NOTICES. THIS VALUABLE FAMILY MEDICINE Has been widely and favorably known in our own and foreign countries, upwards of THIRTY YEARS ! It has lost none of its good name by repeated trhils, but continues to occupy a prominent positiou in every family medicine chest. IT IS AN EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL REMEDY. I Fi>r Summer Complaint, or any other form of bowel disease in children or adults, it is an almost certain cure, and baa without doubt, been more succ-Siful in curing the various kinds of CHOLERA Than any other known remedy, or the most skillful physi? cian. In India, Africa and China, where this dreadful disease is more or less prevalent, the Pain Killer is consid? ered by the natives, as well as European residents in those climates, A SURE REMEDY ; and while it is a most offi cicnt remedy for pain, it is a perfectly safe medicine, even in unskillful hands. Directions accompany each bottle. Sold by all Druggists. Trice 22 cts., 50 cts., and Si per bottle. Health's liest Defence. "The weak catcth herbs," says St. Paul, so that eighteen hundred years ago the value of medicinal plants was ap? preciated. Iu the Old Testament botanical remedies are repeatedly recommended, but in no pas->age of sacred his? tory is man recommended to swallow calomel, or blue pill, or any other mineral preparation. The sick were directed to cat herbs to strengthen them, to purify them, to heal them, to restore them. In that day the* art of making vegetable extracts was unknown, i he herbal medicines were mere infusions. It was reserved for a later.age to unite the sanitary es? sences of tonic, aperient and antibilious roots, harks and plants, with au active stimulant, and thus secure their rapid diflutfion through the debilitated or disordered sys? tem. The crowning triumph of this effective mode of con? centrating and applying the virtues of medicinal vegeta? bles was achieved in the production of HuSTIiTTiiU'S STOMACH BITTERS. Never before had a perfectly pure alcoholic stimulaut been combined with the expressed juices of the finest specifics of the vegetable kingdom. Never yet, though eighteen years have elapsed since its in? troduction, has this great restorative been equalled. It is taken at all seasons, in all climes, as the most potent safe? guard against epidemics, as a protection against all un? healthy exhalations that produce debility or beget disease; as a remedy for intermittent and other malarious fevers ; as an appetizer; as a sovereign cure for dyspepsia; as a general tonic aud invigorant ; as a geutlc, painless aperi? ent ; as a blood depurcnt; as a nervine; as a cure for bil? ious affections; as a harmlos anodyne; and as the best DEKBSCCB ok 11 kalt 11 uuder unfavorable circumstances, such as sedentary pursuits, undue bodily or mental exer? tion, hardship, privation and exposure. Count the Cost. A day's ride in almost any part of our country will show more than one practical illustration of the parable of the man who commenced to build his cnstle without counting the cost. Men often leave out of their calculations such little matters as Poors, Blinds, Sashes, Mouldings, Ac., aud in the end find no comfort in the house which they have built. Remember, therefore, before building, to write to P. P. Toai.e, Charleston, S. C, the largest manufacturer of Doors, &c, in the Southern States, for an estimate of the cost of finishing. A Stubborn Fact. There Is scarcely any disease In which purgative medi? cines are not more or less required, aud much suffering might be prevented were they more generally used. No person can feel well while a costive habit of body pre? vails; besides, it soon generates serious diseases which might have been avoided by a timely use of Cathartic Medicines. For this purpose DR. Tt'TT'S VEOETAHRE LIVER PILLS are confidently recommended; they are mild, safe, prompt and uniform in their action. They contain no Mercury. Persons may eat and drink as usual, aud they may be taken at any time. MASONIC DIKECTORY. ?D- Burning Bush Chapter, No. 7, R. A. M., meets ist Anderson C.

Therefore, be it Jletoteed, That In the death of our brother, A. C. Jack sun, this Lodge has sustained the irreparable loss of an exemplary and consistent member?the Church a zealous and devoted Christian?the community an honorable and upright man, and his family a kind and affectionate hus? band and father. Jiesoh-cd, That we do most sincerely tender our heartfelt sympathy and condolence to the widow and orphaned children of our deceased brother in their sad bereavement. Hesolced, That in memory of our deceased brother, a blank page on our Record hook be dedicated to him, upon which shall be inscribed bis name, birth, death and age, and that the Lodge be clothed in mourning for thirty days.
