Kinard, Newberry C. H.j'Jas. Grant, Union; Julius Poppe, Anderson C. H. Tho Murder of Dr. Ayn'. The first news of the murder of Ur. Ben? jamin Ayer, was given by telegraph, und from tho wording of tho telegram announc? ing that Dr. Ayer, Ropublicau member of tho State Legislature, was found dead by the roadside, it was evidently intended to convey the impression that ho was murdered because he was " a Republican member of the Legislature." We wonder that an Ex? ecutive proclamation has not yet issued, charging tho homicide ou tho Democrats, and offering a reward of at least $5,000 for tho apprehcusiou of tho murderer. It may bo expected that every effort that fraud can suggest and ingenuity execute, to make it appear that Ayer was killed for political causes, will bo made by tho radicals, and that tho telegraphic romancist is now busy writing detailed accounts of tho "rebel out? rage." It is apparent, however, that tho unfortu? nate victim perished by tho hands of the race for whom he abandoned his own. For months ho has devoted whatever intellect God gave him to excite tho blacks against the whites in the County where he lived. He was elected to the Legislature by negro votes. To elevate tho negro and degrade the white race was his politics. After months of service at Atlanta, where he never voted except aa ultra radicalism dic? tated, he returned with his pocket well lined with his pay, wruDg from the sweat of tho race whom he labored to dishonor. He sought board and lodging at negro houses, and even there seems to have been an unwelcome guest. He happened to take out his pocket-book to pay for "some oheese and crackers," and in doing so dis? played "a considerable roll of money." Shortly after he was found dead, and rob? bed of his money. Tho pocket-book and a portion of the money WCTA subsequently found iu possession of a negro named Wil? son, and tho rest of the money was fonud on the person of Wilson's brother and a negro girl. Beyond a shadow of doubt, from the evi? dence which has been collected, Ayer was murdered by negroes for the purpose of robbery. He was old and infirm, and though he had dishonored his grey hairs for the sake of the money which caused his murder, he was too despicable to provoke resentment in the minds of any of the white people of bia county. At seven o'clock in the evening, of the 15th ultimo, Ayer re? turned to Louisville, Jefferson County. From the time of his arrival until he was found dead, his companions were all negroes, and nt 9 o'clook that night, within two hours of his return, his corpse was found by a negro.-Augusta (Ga.) Press. -o BISHOP WIGHTMAN, OF SOUTH CAROLINA, AT THB CHXJUCH OF THE STKANOKRS.-Tho Rev. Bishop Wightman, of Charleston, South Carolina, a Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, preached Sunday, both morning and evening, at the Church of the Strangers, in the New York Univer? sity Chapel, on Washington Square, of whioh the Rev. Dr. Deems, formerly of North Carolina, is pastor. Tho Bishop was on his woy to St. Louis to attend to some official business, and was prevailed upon by his old friend Dr. Deems to remaiu with him over Sunday. This is probably thc first time that a Southern Methodist Bishop has preached in this city since the great division of the Church, which took place in 1844.-AW York World. THE COST OF A VELOCIPEDE.-A gentle? man in Hornellsville, Now York, recently bought a velocipede, for which ho paid ?fKlO; broke a plate glans window, for which he paid forty dollars; cut his face and neck, for which he paid thc doctor five dollars, ruined one pair of pantaloons, for which he paid eleven dollars; frightened a horse so that tho animal run away and broke a buggy, for which ho paid damages amount? ing to sixty dollars; and to cap tho climax, ho finally smashed his velocipede by run ning into a brick wall, leaving him 8216 out of pocket, and a court plastered face to show for it.

May O ly "WITHOUT A UUOD DIGESTION-AU other tomporal blessings aro comparatively worthless. The dyspeptic millionaire, who has tried ai. thc potions of tho medical profession in vain, and believes his complaint to bo incurablo, would give half his fortuno to bo freed from tho horrors of j indigestion, and thus enabled lo enjoy the other half. Of course he mould. Perhaps HOSTETTEH'S STOMACH BITTERS has boen recommended to such a sufferer. Possi? bly he has turned from the friend who made tho suggestion with a sneer, Intimating that ho has no faith in any '?patent medicine." If this has been the case, so much (l<> icorsc for him. His incredulity dooms him to a life of misery. All the luxuries which wealth can purchase aro ut his command. Not one of them can give him plea? sure. His own irrational obstinacy is his bane. Tho m?ssen, happily for themselves, aro less skeptical, 'lheio is such a thing as bigoted unbe liif, as well as bigoted credulity, anil a golden mean between the two, which men and women who ure gifted with common since adopt and profit by. Thesoarethe class that patronize and recommend HOSTETTEB'S BITTERS. Why do they approve this famous anti-dyspeptic and anti hihous preparation? Simply Ix causo they have not been too much the slaves of senseless* preju? dice to give it a fair trial, and have found that when all other tonics, stimulants and stomachics failed, it produced tho desired oflcct. "Strike, hut hear," said tin- Roman sage, when his ignorant enemies were assailing him. '"Doubt, but try." says tho man who has boon cured of in? digestion, or bilioii8iiesi, or intermittent fever, by the Bitters, as ho relates his experience of the niodicine to his invalid friends. Whoever is so wedded to his own foregone theoretical conclu? sions, as to declino to test tho properties of a medicine endorsed by tho testimony of intelligent men in every walk of life, and approved by tho peoplo at large, deserves to suffer. May 2 -f? AYERS SARSAPARILLA, FOR PURIFYING THE ULOOD. TnE reputation thlB ex? cellent medicine enjoye, ia derived from its eurea, many of which aro truly marvellous. Inveterate cases of Scrofulous disease, when; the system aecmed saturated with corruption, have been purified a 11 d .cured hy it. Scrofulous af? fect ions and disorders, which wero aggravated by tho scrofulous contamination until they wero pain? fully afflicting, have heirn radically cured in such great numbers in ahuobt every ecction of the country, that thc public scarcely need to ho in? formed of ??.j virtues or uses. Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and un? felt tenant of tho organism, undermines tim con? stitution, and luvitcs tho attack of enfeebling cr fatal diseases, without exciting a suspicion of its presence. Again, it seems to breed infection throughout tho body, and then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develop into one or othor of its hideous, forms, either on tho sir face or among the vitals. In the latter, tubercles may bo sud donly deposited in the lungs or heart, or tumors formeil in the liver, or it shows it? preseuco by eruptions on the skin, or foul ulcerations on some part of tho body. Hence, thc occasional uso of a bottle of this SARSAPARILLA ia advisable, even when no active symntonis of disease appear. Per sons afflicted with the followingconiplaints, gene rallv find immediate relief, and, at length, cure, by the U60 of this SARSAPARILLA: St. Anto? ny's Fire, Rose or Erysij>elas, Triter, Snit Rheum, Scald head, Ringicorm, Sore Eyes, Sore Ears, and other eruptions or visible forms of Scrofulous disease. Also, in the more concealed forms, as Dyspepsia, Dropsy, Heart Disease, Fits, Epilepsy, neuralgia, and the various Ulcerous affections of tho muscular and nervous systems. Syphilis or Venereal and Mercurial Diseases are cured by it, though a long time is required for eubdui^g these obstinate maladies by any medi? cine. But long continued use of this medicine will cure tim complaint. Lcuearrha-a or Whiles, Uterine Ulcerations, and Female Diseases, are commonly soon relieved and ultimately cured by its purifying and invigorating effect. Minute di? rections in each case are lound in our Almanac, supplied gratis. Rheumatism and Cont, when caused by accumulations of extraneous mattel s in the blood, yield quickly toit, ns also TAeer Com plaints. Torpidity, Congestion or Inflammation ot tho hirer, and Jaundice, when arising, as they often do, from the rankling poisons ia tlie blood. This SARSAPARILLA is iv great restorer for the strength and vigor of the system. Those who are Languid and Listless, Despondent, Sleepless, and troubled with Nervous Apprehensions or Fears, or any of tho affections symptomatic of li v tkuess, will lind immediate relief ami convinc? ing evidence of its restorative power upon trial. v R K r .1 /: E i> a y Dr. .T.
