L. Moore, South Burgettstown, Pa. For sale by Dr. A. J. Cb ina. Tbe City Council 3 on tbe rigS.t track when it notifies the operators of mills and factories and locomotive engines that whistle blowing at night must cease forthwith. This continuad blowing of stearn whistles at all boors of toe night bas grown to be an intol erable nuisance, and there is neither neces sity nor sense in tbs practice to recommend it !o tbe tolerance of tbe public. The Coun cil should sea that the order is obeyed, and if any person or persons defy the order and continue to annoy peopie who wish to sleep at night, they should be arrested and punish ed as severely aa the laws of the city permit. It is stated on what appears to be reliable information tbat tbe Coast Line authorities issued orders mooths ago tbat the blowing of locomotive whistles withio the limits of the city should cease, aod if the City Couccil bas not the power to abate the nuisance, it might be well to notify the railroad officials that the biowing of tbe whistles of tbe shifting engines in the depot yard is a nuisance, and request them to issue additional orders, if tbis be necessary, io have the nuis*cce abated, lt will be an essy matter to arrest the engineers of the milis and factc.ies the Crst time they disobey the order against whistle blowing, and the Mayor cm put a fine on them tbat will serve ss a burning CUBAN RELIEF cures Colic, Neuralgia and Toothache in fi ve minutes.

I President Thomas Wilson Dissatis i i lied With the Action c f Council, ______ j Although it is in Accord With His Written Proposition. Tbe railroad taogle gets more tangled in stead of approaching a settlement. Some days ago Mr. Wilson filed a written proposi tion for a settlement cf tbe difficulty. Now ;bat Conncil has adopted a resolution in accord with bis position, to whicb Mr Biro well, of General Counsel of the Sumter & Wateree absents, Mr. Wilson says it is un satisfactory. The following telegram was received from Mr. Wilson last week : SALEM, S. C., May 16, 1839. Tbe Mayor of Sumter, Sumter, S. C The action of Council at their meeting last night is unsatisfactory to the Northwestern Railroad Company, lt would appear to the casual observer that Mr. Barnwell by his Suggestion dictated the Council's course. The ten days time allowed by your resolution ap pears to me to be unnecessary, as the South ern Rai road since securing control of the S. C. & 6a. has found time for other matters of equal importance. Having already waited ample time at the request of your committee I must DOW insist on an immediate settlement of this matter. Tbos.

The amount of the mortgage is $100, 000, and it is signed by Edwin Parsons, president, and Chas. J. Bamham, secretary. The mortgagee is tbe New York Security and Trost company. Tbe style of tbe mortgage illustrates the development of red tape methods in recent years Tbs documeat, (as was the mortgage of the South Carolina and Georgia Extension Co for $ ,800,000, filed several days ago) is not a written manuscript, but a printed pam phlet. The revenue tax asserts itself conspicuously io tbe ratification of bonds and mortgages. There was a scamp representing a tax of $50 on the paper filed yesterday. Tbe mortgage of tbe South Carolina and Georgia Extension Railroad Company was adorned with $900 worth of stamps. The tax is $5G on every $100,000 represented in a mortgage -The State, May 9.

Tbe impression of (,some financiers" in Baltimore tbat the delivery of the Sanford Mouot Airy division of the Atlantic and Yadkin Railroad tu the Southern would be followed by the surrender by the Southern of the Sooth Carolina and Georgia Railroad to the Atlantic Coast Line, was not in any way warranted by the conditions. Samuel Spen cer, president of the Southern Railway, on Thursday, authorized tbe Associated Press to say tbet there was :too foundation for tbe report that the Southern would turo over the South Carolina and Georgia properties to the Atlantic Coast Line,'' and added: "The Southern bought the Sooth Carolina and Georgia for its own uses, and the property will be retained as a portion of the Southern Railway system." That ought to be plaio enough and straight enough to remove the impression of the Bal timore fioancier8, who are probably more heavily interested in some other railway sys tem than they are in the Southern.-News and Courier. Remarkable Rescue. Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, 111., makes the statement, that she caught cold, which set tled on her lungs ; she was treated far a month by ber family physician, but grew worse. He told her she was a hopeless victim of consump tion and that no medicine could cure her. He r druggist suggested Dr. King's New Discov ery for Consumption; she bought a bottle and to ber delight found herself benefited from first dose. She continued its use and after taking six bottles fcund herself sound and well; now doe; her own housework, and is as well as she ever was. Free trial bottles of this Great Discovery at J. F. W.

Murchison, ''acting mas ter of trains of the Yadkin division of tbe Wilmington and Weldon railroad." This means tbat what is left to the Atlantic Coast Line of tbs old Cape Fear and Yadkin Val ley, i. e., from Sanford to Wilmington and tbe old Bennettsvilie branch will be koowa as tbe Yadkin division. It is probable tbat one or two train dispatchers who have been at Greensboro will also be stationed here. Since the sale to the Southern, it bas been a matter of discussion what the Atlantic Coast Line got in return for its road from Sanford to Mt Airy. Today it is said that the Southern in return let the Atlantic Coast Line hare its branch roai from Charleston to Augusta, known as the South Carolina acd Georgia railroad. It is further eaid that, in consequence of securing this road to Augusta, orders have been issued for work on the Atlantic Coast Line branch from Den ni uk to Augusta be abandoned. This road bas been graded and five miles of track laid.-Fayetteville, N. C , Observer. Volcanic Eruption . Are grand, but Skin Eruptions rob life of joy.

We have received $34 io unsolicited subscriptions to the Hamp ton Home Fund, and we are satisfied that this sum can be doubled several times over if an organized and well directed effort is made to that eod. We bare acknowledged the subscriptions es received, but bare made no effort to solicit contributions If Sumter county is to take part in this testimonial to Gen. Hampton an organization should be perfected at once, committee ap pointed and a treasurer elected to take charge of the money raised. The following amounts have been received: A Son of a Confederate Soldier, $5 00 J. B. Mayes, 2 00 W. R. Find, 5 00 R. C. Blaodiog, 1 00 R C. McFadden, 5 00 W. E. Mills, 5 00 W.

Later a message was received that cows answering the description were bought at Alcolu. The party selling them came on to Manning and returned to Alcolu wben be was arrested and carried to Sumter. The arrested party is supposed to be the notorious Jobn Butler who bas served a long sentence in tbe peni tentiary.-Manning Times. John Butler, colored, who stole two co<vs from Mr. W. N Spana some days ago and was arrested at A'.colo after aellicg the cows, was given a preliminary bearing on Thurs day before Magistrate Wells.

Mr. Forman was well acquainted with Governor Perry, of whom be was a warm admirer. The proposed increase of the special school tax from 2 to 3 mills bas been discussed very little, and if silence gives consent the taxpay ers are almost unanimously in favor of giv ing the graded schools the support needed to maintain them at the present high standard of ffficiency. The ten days eran ted by the City Council for the Sumter Wateree and the Northwest ern Railroads io assent to the terms of the resolution adop'ed at the last xreetiog of Council expire oa Thursday, and the Council will meet that night to consider tbe replies of the two ralroads and to take action on the Dingle Street matter.
