Sherard, beloved wife of sti Mr. W. C. Sherard, and daughter of Mr. ar an<l Mrs. A. J. Clinkscales, of Monterey, to departed tliis li.e on Thursday, March 12th 1885, after a somewhat long and ^ painful illness. The funeral services j. were conducted at llocky Iliver Church, p(i of which she was a in ember for twelve y years, liy Kev. II. C. Fennel in the pres- j. ence *f a huge concourse of relatives and friends, and she was laid at rest in the ancient city of the dead, connected with this Church. jn Mrs. Sherard leaves two small children u to the care of a bureaved husband ami f0 strickenetl parents. Her life was prom- i,iuently marked by deeds of kindness, ni and she was besides au alfectionate wife e: and loving daughter, a christian woman.' p( ad?iiicd ami respected by her neighbors for her many christian nets. Shi; bore lier .suffering patiently, her last moments being comforted by the presence of her %l relatives, and the assurance that beyond |1 the pearly gates there would be no more pain and sorrow. "Blessed are m the dead who die in the Lord.'' ^ Sliacklcil Freedom. Late the other evening, an American cc. citizen of the African persuasion, with V' three sacks of corn and a siile of bacon c,n on ail improvised vehicle, made of the two front wheels of his wagon and planks fastened to the hounds, was home- ^)( } ward plodding his weary way. The trum:ated wagon was drawn by a yoked pair of the poorest of kine. those I'lia- th raohic animals, distinguished for their it non-assimilating capacity. In response T to the inquiry full of deep interest in ft his movements, as to whether he intend- c< ed "going all the way to-night," the pe- pi (Inctrinn f Put* tlmrn u'?icnU i-onm in tl>n *.t chariot for him) imparted cheerfully the ']' information that he htul sixteen lon?x (}j dreary miles ahead of him. While we now write, the faithful son of Ham is ;(j plodding up the red hills near Leslie's Creek, and thinking of the prospect a- ! *v head of him, which he stated to be of .l( arriving at his .suburban retreat near An- i "w treville, about daylight, and following'w the plow all day. This we suppose, is ! . poetic happiness?an Utopian perfection : j of husbandry in the glowing sun light; of freedom. j1( Novel Case. ''' There was a novel case on trial before Trial .Justice DcBruhl on Tuesday. Tom Fisher, Selick Fisher and Richard F1 Fisher were indicted before him for not , paying their poll tax. Mr. Foster Cro- . iner paid their tax for the>? under an agreement that they would work it out. V After the tax was paid they refused to 1 do the work, and Mr. Cromer came to ,j, the Treasurer who gave him back his ' money, and the negroes were indicted, 'V r.:ul convicted and sentenced to pay a fine i ^ of $10 ami costs each, or go to jail for ; thirty <lavs. Thcv appealed. and gave!., bond It seems to us the whole case turns upon the question whether tin: t:ix wasn't paid when Mr. Cromer paid, And whether the Treasurer could legally return it. We are glad the case has gone up,"in order that there may he a w d'?ci..ioii on the point. S ! Change ?>f Selipilule.

A A large proportion of the diseases which cauao human suffering result from derangement of the stomach, bowels, and liver. Ayer's Cathartic Pills act dlrcctly upon these organs, and are especially designed to cure the diseases caused by their derangement, Including Constipation, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery, and a host of other ailments, for all of which they are a safe, sure, prompt, and pleasant remedy. The extensive use of theso Pills by eminent physicians In regular practice, shows unmistakably the estimation in whioh they are held by the medical profession. These Pills are compounded of vegetable substances only, and are absolutely froe from oalomel or any other injurious Ingredient. ^ A Sufferer from Headache writes: " ayer's Pills are invaluable to me, and aro my constant companion. I have been i a severe sufferer from Headache, and your Pills are the only thing I could look to for relief. One dose will qulokly move my .. bowels and freo my head from pain.
