A correspondent of tho Missouri Democrat, writing from Omaha on the 8th instant, says that the remains of Enginoer Brookes Bowers and Fireman Goorge Henshaw have just arrived. On the same train was a man named William Thompson, a native of England, who turned ont to be one of the telegraph repairers re? ported killed. He attracted a great deal of attention, from the very ex? traordinary fact that the covering 'or the head which nature had so kindly endowed him with was absent. Peo? ple flocked from all parts to view the gory, ghastly baldness which had como upon him so suddenly, without any premonitory symptoms. The poor fellow suffered" horribly, if we might judge by his facial contor? tions. He seemed weak from loss of blood. He had received a gaping wound in the neck and a bullet in the muscle of his right arm. He was taken to the Hamilton House, and a physician was sent for, who attended to his wounds. In a pail of water was his scalp, about nine inches in length and four in width, somewhat resembling a drowned rat, as it float? ed, curled up, on the water. His statement is os follows: "About 9 o'clock Tuesday night, myself aqd, five others left Plum Creek Station, and started up the track on u Lund-car to hunt up where the break in the telegraph was. When we came to where the break proved to be, we saw a lot of ties piled on the track; but at the same moment, Indians jumped up from the grass all around and fired on us. We fired two or three shots in return, and then, as the Indians pressed on UH, wo ran away. An Indian on a pony singled me out and galloped up to me. After coming to within ten feet of me, he fired, the bullet enter? ing my right arm; seeing mo still run, ho 'clubbed his rifle' and knock? ed me down. Ho then took out his knife, stabbed me in the neck, and then making a twirl round his fingers with my hair, he commenced sawing and hacking away at my scalp. Though the pain was awful and I felt dizzy and sick, I knew enough to keep quiet. After what seemed to be half an hour, he gave the last finish? ing cut to tho scalp on my left tem? ple, and as it still hung a little, he gave it a jerk. I just thought then that I could have screamed my life out. I can't describe it to you. It just felt as if the whole head was taken right off. The Indian then mo'inted and galloped away, but as he went, ho dropped my scalp within a few feet of me, which I managed to get and hide. The Indians were thick in the vicinity or I then might have made my escape. While lying down, I could hear the Indians moving around whisperiug to each other, and then shortly after placing obstruc? tions on the track. After lying down about nn hour ami a half, I heard the low rumbling of the train as it carno tearing along, and I might have been able to ting it off had I dared." Drs. Pecke and Mooro, of this city, will endeavor to resei tho scalp on his head, and they are couiident they can do it well. As he is a strong man, it is expected that he will recover health and strength. The Lexington (Ky.) Statesman says: "We have heard tho following curious story from a gentleman who was cognizant of the facts: In 1830, tho Kev. Wm. Adams planted a peach stone from a black or Georgia peach. From it, carno up two sprouts, grew to bo trees, and singular to say, one of the trees bore free-stone and the other cling stone peaches, of the samo variety, and both kinds look almost exactly alike." A CO-OPERATIVE SO?TETY.-The New York Post gives the following account of a co-operative ?ociety in that city: The Union Co-Operativo Laud and Building Society was formed under the supervision of John W. Farmer. Tho object of tho society is, by co? operation, to enable the members, who are all laboring men of the poorer class, to become their own landlords, by providing funds for each member to purchase bouses, laud and other real estate, within a radius of teu miles from the city of New York. This is similar to the so? cieties which bavo been in operation in London for twenty years past, but under a moro improved plan, to meet the peculiar wants of American la? borers. The society consists of 590 actual paying members. 415 of these are already connected with the first so? ciety with about 1,000,000 of shares taken-about $2,000 paid in. The first .society is already formed, and on Friday evening, appropriations will be made for the purchase of two houses, in sums varying from $2,000 to $5,000, according to the amount taken up. Another society will immediately be formed. $1,000 shares are now being issued nt fifty cents weekly. No member is allowed to take less than two shares, equal to $2,000, and up to $6,000. By paying $1 weekly, you can purchase a house worth $2,000; $1.50, a $3,000 house; $2, a $4,000 house; $2.50, a $5,000 house; $3, a $6,000 house, etc. This so oiety claims to secure to its members the fullest benefit of co-operation; to make every allowance for sick members; to advance all moneys by ballot and sale alternately. It re? ceives no interest from its borapwing members. Members may withdraw or transfer their shares on giving the usual notice. Borrowers can fix their own time of repayment from one to ten years, in weekly or month? ly payments. NAPOLEON ON THE PARIS EXHIBI? TION.-On the 5th instant, Napoleon received the foreign Commissioners of the Exhibition to the number of fifty-three. These gentlemen had appointed a committee to draw up au address, which was presented by Count d'Avila, Portuguese Ambassa? dor at tho Court of Spain. Napoleon replied as follows: i "GENTLEMEN: The net which you are 'at present'' engaged in with re? spect to me touches me i deeply, and furnishes me with an occasion of rendering full justice to the spirit of conciliation and friendly agreement which has constantly animated you in the exercise of your delicate func? tions. If you carry home with you a pleasant reminiscence of the recep? tion which you have met with in France, we, on our side, will always remember with pleasure thiu great international fete, to which so many foreigners of distinction have added an unusual lustre. Representatives of the idea of labor in every part of the universe, you have for some time shered in our common existence, and been able to convinco yourselves that all civilized nations aro tending moro and more to form only a single fami? ly. From this competition of intel? ligences so diversified-from this amalgamation of interests of all na? tions, will emanate, I have not the slightest doubt, that harmony which is so necessary for the progress of humanity. I thank you, gentlemen, for the language which you have employed when speaking of the Em? press and of my son ; be assured that they share in my gratitude for your efforts, my sympathy for yourselves personally, and my wishes for the peace of the world." AN EMBLEMATIC FLA?.-A new United States flag, recently raised at the Citadel, bas twenty-six of its stars in a diamond cluster, in tho contre of tho Union, and tito ten others dis? posed around the border of the Union, two in each corner and ono in the centre of tho bottom border of the Union, and ono in the centre of the top border Of thc Union. Whether intentionally or not, this flag is em? blematic, so far as it separates ten of the stars from the remaining twenty six. - Charleston Mercury. The Pa?l Mall Gazette says that in the library of tho Houso of Lords the original copy of the "Sealed Book of Common Proyor," which has been so long missing, has been diecoverod. It is found in tho manuscript that tho bishops bad ordered that the Communion Tables should stand at the East end of tho chancel, and that tho celebrant should stand Eastward, but they subsequently erased the I rubrics.

WELLjWORTH REaDINO_Who is thoro that does not desire to bo always ex? empted from indigestion-to have a good appetite, a painless stomach, a clear head, a regular pulse, a healthy complexion? If this meets tho eye of any who aro not thus bloBBod, let them try HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTER8. We guarantee that this delightful tonic will restore any sto? mach, however weak, to a healthy condi? tion; that it will bring back tho truant ap? petite, and give permanent vigor to thc whole system. The feeble and emaciated, suffering from dyspepsia or indigestion in any form, aro advised, for tho sake of their own bodily and mental comfort, to try it. Ladies of the most delicate consti? tution testify to ita harmless and its re? storative properties. Physioians every? where, disgusted with the adulterated liquors of commerce, describe iv as tho SAFEST AND MOST RELIABLE of all stomachics. Its effects are inst ant a neous. It does not require weeks of dos ing before its virtues are realized. Thou? sands sit down to their meals void of appetite, eating because others eat. Tho food thus forced into the stomach does positive harm. Instead of strengthening tho system, it engenders a variety of ail ments, which end in confirmed dyspepsia. HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, taken regularly before meals, will prevent all this._Aug 14 t6 THE public esteem in which PANK NIN'S HEPATIC BITTERS aro held, is another proof of their excellence as a Tonic.

May 24 A Truly Wonderful Medicine? HEINITSB'S QUEEN'S DELIGHT. Liver Complaint Cured by Queen's Delight. THE symptoms of Liver Complaint are uneasiness and pain in the right side, and soreness upon touch immediately under the inferior ribs; inability to lie upon tho left side, or, if at all, a dragging sensation is produced which seriously affects respiration, causing, very often, a troublesome cough. Together with theaa sympt?me, wo perceive a coated tongue, acidity of the stomach, deficiency of per? spiration, and sometimes a sympathetic pain in the shoulder, with a great disposi? tion to sleep, and depression of spirits, and sometimes sores in tho mouth or throat. These symptoms, if permitted to continue, will eventually produce consump? tion, the most banelnl of all diseases. Dyspepsia. The symptoms of Dyspepsia are various;, those affecting tho stomach arc nausea,. heart-burn, loss of appetite, disgust for food, sometimes a depraved appetite, sense of fulness or A eight in the stomach, sinking or fluttering in tho pit of the sto? mach, sour eructations, coated tongne, acidity of tho stomach, hurried and uifhV cult breathing, Ac. Tho sympathetic affections are very di? versified-cold feet, pain or weakness through the limbs, swimming of the head, sudden flushes of heat, &c. Tho use of tho QUEEN'S DELIGHT should be persevered in until evory symp? tom of Dyspepsia has vanished, and health, is entirely restored. Derangements of Liver and Stomach, Aro sources of insanity. From disorden or obstruction, a morbid action of the sym? pathetic and other nerves follows, and thu functions of the brain are impaired and deranged; derangement there will also produce disease (d' the heurt, skin, lungs and kidneys. It is owing to the same cause that thousands die with Cholera, Bilious or Yellow Fever, and that most baneful disease, Consumption. Tho origin of numerous cases of Con? sumption IS impaired digestion; and many, manv cases of supposed Consumption could bo entirely cured by tho uso of the QUEEN'S DEL?GHT, as the emaciation, debility and cough attending weakness of tho digestive organs are so near allied to tho symptoms of Consumption, that tho one disease is frequently mistaken for th? other. Notice. It is a well-established fact that fully one-half of tho femalo portion of ou? population are seldom in the enjoyment of good health, or, to use their own cipres aion, "never feel well " They aro languid, devoid of all energy, extremely nervous and have no appetite. To this class of invalids, the Queen'B Delight is e*]>eciaUy recommended. Their peculiar tonio ami invigorating properties render it invalua? ble in such cases. The patient should im? mediately discard all pills and powders, as they only weaken the system, and resort ti? the uso of tho Queen's Delight, tho inva? riable result of which will be a strong and' hearty constitution, a disappearance ot ali nervousness, a good appetite and a perfect restoration to health. Weak and delicate children are made strong by using tho Queen's Delight. In fact, it is a Family Medicine; it can be ad? ministered with perfect safety to a child threo months old, thc most delicate female or a man of ninety. ?- Bo euro and ask for "HEINTTSH'S QUEEN'S DELIGHT;" none other ia genu? ino.
