Dicttonabiies.?The victims of the
lately prevalent orthographical
mania will be interested in the fol?
lowing announcement:
"The Librarian of Congress says
in a recent letter upon orthography:
So far as the Library of Congress
is concerned, Webster has never
been followed in orthography in
printing its catalogues,' reports or
other documents. On the contrary,
wherever proofs from the Con?
gressional printing office embod
the innovations upon Englis
orthography which Webster intro?
duced, they are invariably returned
with corrections restoring the es?
tablished spelling, as represented
by Worcester and the usage of all
gr?at English writers." &
In our distinguished judgment,
neither one of these dictionaries is
worth the paper on which it is
printed. They both present exam?
ples and samples of shoddy literary
work of which the American peo?
ple have reason to be ashamed. It
is true both are very bnPy, and
contain a vast number of words,
and illustrations to correspond,
but when one wishes to ascertain
the real radical meaning of a word,
its history and growth, he might
as^vell look into an algebra as into
either one of the unabridged edi?
tions. There are, moreover, a great
number of common words adopted
from other languages and in cur?
rent acceptation aud employment,
which cannot be found in either
dictionary named. The deiinitions
of both Webster and Worcester
are also frequently unphilosophical
und to that extent inadequate and
incorrect. It is a great pity that
this country has no association of
scholars like the French Academy,
to undertake a great dictionary of
the English tongue, tracing out the
history and development of each
word, fixing its etemology and
giving its authorized orthography.
It may fairly be doubted whether
any one man, however learned and
laborious, is competent for such a
task. I M. Littre prepared such a
dictionary of, the French language,
but neither Dr. Webster nor Dr.
Worcester had the head or the
hand of Iff. Littre.
A Hopeful Missouri Bot.?Mr.
Pomeroy Beeding, a fast son of
Mr. E- L. Beeding, living in Cam?
bridge,. Mo., was trapped last
Wednesday, in an attempt to mur?
der hi? father, mother and brother
in-law. Mr. Beeding is one of the
wealthiest and most popular men
in the State, and being desirous of
his son getting a good education,
sent him to Fayctte, Mo. This boing
a small place, he thought his son
would not get the opportunity of
practicing his rascality. After
Pomeroy had been there for a few
weeks, his father went to visit him,
and found he had gotten deeply in
defet, and was engaged to be rnar
riefl to a young lady, who broke
her engagement for this purpose.
Mr. Beeding thinking this was. the
wrong life for a school boy to lead,
took him home. The boy wished
to marry, but he had no money,
not of age, and had no means of
getting any. How was he to get
it? Ho finally agreed to kill fkia
father, mother, and brother-in-law,
who constituted the 1 family. To
do. this, ho tried to get Mr. Stan ton,
a man not o? the highest standing
in the world, who lived just across
the river frotn him, to assist him.
*?*a if ho would do, it, and1
told hipx that he could get a man
in Sfe'JbbuiB to do it for $500, but
klU tfc?tfWjrpafc one. tJ flr.:; gtsftb*
told Pomeroy to meet him in a 1 '
Tunwef oiy ? certain night, and til
wo?l^w?ceed from tAaere tdl
falhng therm, but waft going to tell
Mr. Beeding of his son's designs.
Thinking that Mr. B. would not
believe hirxi Mr. Slanton got two
men to neoompany him to the log
house, so n? to have some proof
After the*i*d arrived at the house,,
Po^p^6nco4 toui^ i?-:
ton? and. Mat then the men from
und*rn?oA ?ame in, grabbed him,
and ^kb^ to, ha father. Mr!
gave him a draft for ftity do?
and discarded him. Pom-roy went
to Glasgow, got his draft paid, sent
for Ins WW^W
Louis, since which nothing has
been heard from him.

REGULATOR
The symptoms of Liver Complaint are
uneasiness and pain in the side. Some?
times the pain is in the shoulder, and is
mistaken for rheumatism. The stomach,
k is affected with loss of appetite and sick
fness, bowels in general costive, and
sometimes alternating with lax. The
head is troubled with pain, and dull,
heavy sensation, considerable loss oi
memory, accompanied with painful sen?
sation of having left nndono something
which ought to have been done. Often
complaining of weakness, debility and
low spirits. Sometimes many of the
I above symptoms attend the disease, and
at other times, very few of them; but the
Liver is generally the organ most in?
volved.
SIMMONS' LIVER REGULATOR I
For nil IMsenHes of tlic Liver, Stomach and Spleen !
IT is evidently a Family Medicine, and by being kept ready for ini
inediate resort, will save many an hour of suffering, and many a
collar in time and doctors' bills.
After forty years' trial, it is still receiving the most unqualified testi?
monial* of its virtues from persons of the highest character and rc
spynvibility. Eminent physicians commend it as the most
EFFECTUAL SPECIFIC
for Constipation, Headache. Pain in the Shoulders. Dizziness. Sour
Stom.ieh. bad taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attack-;. Palpitation of the
Heart. Pain in the region of the Kidneys, Despondency, Oloor*. and
forebodings of evil; all of which are the ortspring of a diseased Liver.
If yon feel Dull, Drowsy, Debilitated, have frequent headache.
Mouth tastes badly, poor Appetite and Toag?.e Coated, you are suffer?
ing from Torpid Liver, or "Biliousness," and nothing will cure yon so
speedily and permanently.
The Liver, the largest organ in the body, is generally the seat>of the
disease, and if not Regulated in time, great suffering, wretchedness
uud DEATH will ensue.
Armed with this ANTIDOTE, all climates and changes of water and
food mav be faced without fear. As a remedy in MALARIOUS
FEVERS. BOWEL COMPLAINTS. RESTLESSNESS, JAUNDICE,
NAUSEA, tho Cheapest, Purest and Best Fatuilv Medicine in the
