Our community was painfully wrought
upon, 00 Saturday last, by the iotelli-1
genoe of the death of Mrs. JUDITH O.
NASON, the devoted and beloved consort
of Mr. 0. T. MASON. The death of
this much-loved lady was painful and
au '.dcu, and ha? thrust darts of pieroiog
anguish io to tho hearts of a large oirole
of relatives and friends. Her funeral
services were performed ot the Presby?
terian Churoh, ou Sabbath morning, in
the presence of an unusually large
congregation, the occasion being one of j
great solemnity nod impressiveness.
The Baptist and Methodist Churches
were closed, the congregations united,
?od Rev. DONALD MCQUEEN, was
assisted in the services by Revs. S. M.
RICHARDSON and H. M. MOOD.

SODA WATKK,
Our courteous and liberal friend, J. F.
AV. DeLoruie, Druggist, handed us, a
few days ago, a baker's dozen of tiokcts,
which-so far from representing the
number of witches which were supposed
to sit down at the table with the bakers
of former timos, in their great meetings
-stood good, each one, for a glass of
the charming soda that makes merry
music as it gushes from his beautiful
fountain. Havn't we said enough to
give all lovers of thia delightful bever?
age thc cue ?

TOWN IMPHOVEniENTS.
Thc crust ot thc earth was broken, on
Monday morning last, in excavation for
the foundation of a new Brick Hotel
and stores io connexion, on the lot
immediately adjoiuiog the Planters'
Warehouse and fronting the Court
House.
This building will rest upon two lote
as previously divided and sold-and last
purchased, one by Messrs. RICK ER &
FERITER, and the other by F. J. MOSES,
JR. These parties, wo learn, have united
the two lots, and will erect the building
by common investment.
The building will have a front of
seventy feet width and a depth of eigh?
ty feet. To the depth of forty five feet
it will be three stories-the remaining
thirty-five feet, one slory. Two stores,
twenty two feet wide, will run the entire
distance from front to raro of the grouo
story. The centre will be the entrance
to the hotel und constitute the office an
dining room, on the first floor. O
the second floor there will be threo
parlors-22 by 24,-with folding doors,
so that thc whole may bc turned into
one large room. On the second an
third floors there will bo eighteen bed
rooms, and other apartments. On th
front and centre of the building, to be
reached from the second story, will b
a veranda. The whole to bo furnished
in first class style, nod to cost from fif?
teen to twenty thousand dollars. The
hotel, we learn, will be rentod to some
party with means sufficioot to furnish
|l? and who knows how to keep such an
institution.

It WK the evening of the Fireraen'e
Parade
"Tb? moon
Rising lo clouded majesty, at length,
Apparent queeo, on rei led bar peerless light,
And o'er lb? derk ber silver mantle threw."
It ir aa a eight of beauty-of lovely
quiet. Young spring-times' beautiful
array nestled in the grander light of
the full-orbed moon. The earth beneath
our splendid trees a patch-work of
shadow and of light. Gentle zephyrs
toyed amid the scene, to waft in swoeter
melody music's soul-inspiring strains.
We, all unconscious, slept, to be
awakened by the reality of delight that
brought sweet sounds streaming full
through our window. It was a moment of
real pleasure, and if we failed to arise
and greet the generous friends who
oame thus to greet us, it wae ' that we
would not break tho spell that bound
us.
We tender our highost appreciation
of the beautiful compliment.

More diseases are the result of a derangement
of the Liver than from any other eause. When

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Dr. A. L. SCOV1LL is the inventor of several
medicinal preparations which have bocomo very
popular, and havo boon liberally used. Among
bis inventions are "Hairs Balsam for tho Lungs"
and "Liverwort and Tar." For tho past six I
yoars a botter Lung remedy has been offorod to
tho public Read tho following letter from Dr.
Scovill referring to it :
Messrs. J. N. HARRIS A CO.,
GENTS :-I make the following j
statement from n perfect conviction and know?
ledge of tho benefits of ALLEN'S LUNG BAL?
SAM in curing the most duop scated Pulmonary
Consump ion ! I havo witnessod its effects on
the young and thc old, and I can truly say thnt
it is by far the best expectorant remedy with
which I am acquainted. For Coughs, and till
tho early stages of Lung complaint.-!, I boliovo it
to bo a certain euro, and if every family would I
keep it by them, ready to administer upon tho
first appearance of disease about the Lungs thore j
would bo very few casos of fatal consumption.
It causes thoplogm and matter to rai?o, without
irritating those delicate organs (tho Lungs), and
without producing constipation of tho bonds. It |
also gives strength to tho system, stops tho night
sweats, and changes all tho morbid secretions to j
a hoalthy stato. Yours respectfully,
A. L. SCOVILL.

Fresh, pure air is a vitalizing elixir. Whoever
is debarred by circumstances from unrostrictod
access to this Invisible, but poworful stimulant,
needs a medicinal invigorant of some kind. Thc
great object should be to choose the best. Popu?
larity is n protty good guarantuo of merit in this
scrutinizing and intelligent agc, and tried by thii
criterion Hosteller's Stomach Hitters stands first
among the invigorating and regulating medicines j
of tho present day. To tho wants of persons en?
gaged in indoor employments, especially
crowded factories whore oven with tho best possi?
ble ventilation tho atmosphoro is always in sonic
(legree polluted, this salubrious vegetable tonic is
peculiarly adapted. Tho nature of tho ingre?
dients is * o mystery. It consists of an absolute?
ly pure d ff isivo stimulant, tinctured-or rather |
surcharged-with thc fluid oxlracts of sanutou?
roots and bnrks and herbs. Tho pharmacopoeia I
has its tinctures, but what aro they ? Tho juice
of only a single root or bark or plant is present
in euch. Not ono of them combine? tho thruo
properties of a tonic, an alterativo, and an apo
rimt. All those olemonts aro blooded in thc
Ritters ; nor are these tho sum of its medicinal I
recommedation8. It is also n blood d?purent]
and an antispasmodic.
Tho baleful effect which air that has boen par?
tially exhausted of its oxygen hy frequent breath?
ing produces on tue vital organization, is noto?
rious, and wlion to this devitalized atmosph?re is
supcradded tho incphilio vapor of hot air fur
onces, it becomes deleterious and depressing ir
tho oxtroino. T? enable, tho system to bear up,
oven for a fow hours each day against tho debili
tating iiifiiieiicc nf a vitiated atmosphere, a
wholesome, tonic and alterative is urgently rc
quired. This grand disideratuin is supplied in
Hostet tor's Bitters, which ns a strength sustain?
ing, health protecting agent has no rival oithor
Hmong officinal or advertised medicines.
