Poisoning the Sick.?There never was a Bpeoialty in medicine that was not pirated, Hosteller's Stomach Bitters is no exception to the general rule. Fraud follows in the track of tho Great Vege? table Restorative as it makes the oircle of the world, and offers its pernioious imi? tations to the sick at every turn, anxions to drenoh the publio with their trash. Tho imitators and counterfeiters offer it by tho gallon, the barrel, the hogshead, as vrell as by the bottle. Beware of this deluge of abominations. Bear in mind that tho true article is sold in bottles only, and tbe impress of genuineness is to be found upon tho glass itself, as well as upon the finely engraved Government stamp and the elegant label. The great vegetable tonio prevonts and cures all bilious disorders and complaints of the digestive organs and the. nervous sys? tem, maladies upon which the vile imi? tations produce- no more effect than the Pope's bull upon the comet.

Listen to tue Mocking Biud.?It is the property of this unparalleled feath? ered songster that he combines in his nature the usefnl in equnl proportions with the entertaining, feasting vigorous? ly, in fact, on beetles, moths, field mice and other such enemies of vegetation, when not charming the air with his dul? cet carols. But of late years his notes have been less and less heurd, and ho is slowly bat surely disappearing from his accustomed haunts. In France, the Code Circle, thanks to the kind provi? sion of itn founder, the great Napoleon, has a set title for the protection of birds, and in some lute legislation in Iowa the same mild extension is made of the tegis of the law. Under, if we mistake not, a fifty dollar penalty, the tomtit and blue bird, lark and wren, ere at libt rty'to chirp unmolested in oar North? west. Unless some such legislation is made in favor of the mocking bird in our own State, it will soon be an extinct Bpecies, as far, at any rate, as its propa? gation in Georgia is concerned. The young of these birds are invariably taken from the nest as soon as fonnd, and sent to the North or to Europe, where they sell at high prices, and as every brood thus disposed of is with? drawn from production, a sensible dimi? nution iu the number of these glorions warblers is noted. Beckless boys, also, jast learning to use a gun, and careless how sweet a voice is stilled, go long as they make the feathers fly, not an freqnontly kill the mocking bird with as little compunction as the crow; and then there are others again who trap them, though perfectly well assured the full grown bird can never accustom himsolf to captivity and will beat out his little life against the bars of his cage. De? spoiling the nest, however, is the great wrcng. Only yesterday we noticed a negro boy on Broad street with half a dozen of the little chirpera, which he had just taken from the nests, in a basket. Sometime since tho fact was noted of the consignment of 200 young mocking birds by a single steamer. These figures will givo some idea of the extent to which the spoliation is carried. [Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel. Sent to Albany.?On Tuesday morn? ing last, John Wallace, H. Middleton Moore and Bobert Biggins, of thU County, under the charge of Marshal B. M. Wallace, left Charleston, en route for the Albany penitentiary. At the late term of the United States Circuit Court in Charleston, Wallace was sentenced to eight years' imprisonment and Moore to two years, on the charge of Ku Kinsing. Robert Biggins, more than one year ago, was sentenced to three years' imprison? ment on a similar charge; but since the sentence was pronouncod has been coa ?ood, first in the jail at Charleston, aud subsequently in tho jail of York County.

Yesterday evening, bb Jesse Bur? ton was going from dinner to bis plow, just as ho rode up to bis plow he was fired upon by some one on the outside, concealed in the bushes, putting fourteen bcckBhot through his hat aud riddling the top of his head.

Burton aud Caden had a difficulty on the day before, and Gaden has left the neighborhood. At the time ho was killed ho was working on the plantation of J. P. HankinBon. He never told any one, that we know of, tho add!ess of his parents, although he said they wero alive. He claimed to be a Georgian. MURDER and SoiCIDB IN YaDKIN County, N. O.?Last Friday, a man by the name of John Holoomb, who had not been married long, became enragod at his wife, Emma Holoomb, on account of tho intimacies which had grown op be? tween .her and a man or men in tho neighborhood, and, taking his pistol, emptied the contents of four barrels into her body, killing her instantly. No one saw the shooting; but a young man, a neighbor, ooming up soon, Holoomb told him what he had done, and announced his intention to kill himself, at the same time asking him (the neighbor) to as? sist him with the body into the house. The young man was bo filled with terror that he eould do nothing at all, and Hol? oomb walking up to where the body of his murdered wife lay, took ont his pis? tol, and placing it at his heart fired.
