¡¡ST A t tliis Fefifon of the ytarhen
so many of oar people uro suffering from
cold*, we call attention to Ayer'-i Cher-
ry Pectoral as a suro care not <uly for
cough* and colds, but all affections
the|1ung* and throat bnrir.g iMcd it in
our family for years, we can speak from
personal knowledge of its efficiency
There may be other remedios that are
good, but in all our experience this has
proved by far the best. Its qualities are
uniform and wholly reliable. It
ploasant. to take, and should be kept at
command by every family, as 4 pro
tectioi^against a class of complaints
which seem bartule in the beginning
but become afflicting and dangerous if
neglected.—New Haven ReyUter.

•toro.
Notice the sale of the Cbadoin
land near Suhulenburg. This would be
a great bargain for any ^enterprising
man, as there is timber^cnough on it to
pay for it four times over. Call on Sam
Devall, Esq., for particulars, and see a
plat of the land. Under order of the
'District Court, the sale will take place
on the first Tuesday in February next.
' The Hon. O. Ellis is now in
Anstin, and the Hon. W. P. Ballard left
our county for the capital during the
first of the week.
80 many contradictory reports
in regard to the killing of Tom Dixon
and the wounding of Vic. Dixon were
in .circulation, that we refrained until
now from all mítico of the occnrrcncc.
The account which wo publish is from
the Galveston News, and we presume is
substantially correct.
ALMOST A R[0T.
Ab'Mit half past two o'clock on Christ
m.i* evening, a crowd of freedinen, nnm
Wirg fro 11 seventy-five to a hundred,
hul assembled on tin corner of Main
"W^ .S.iiitn,. U >snj. Streets. Evidently
niany of them h«d imbibed a goodly
<|<iantity of tire qh-bo-joyful, and becom-
ing so boisterous as to ntt'-act the atten-
tion of our Marshal. He fo-th .vith made
a descent upon them for the purpose of
dispersing them; wheronpon, one 'Joliii
Dabney, a mulatto, full six feet tall,
became furious in liis resistance, swe.ir-
in¡r th.it. he would shed the last drop of
his blood bofore he would outer* the
"!<*;k up." Notwithstanding his defiancc
Marshall Slojjn arrested hi:n and pro-
ceeded in thefdireetion of the station
house. The crowd continued to gather,
the blacks on the south and the whites
on the north side of Main Street, until
tho whole Street was a perfect jamb. All
would have been well had not some one
on tho blacks side shouted "bands orr"
and at the samo time a number of ne-
groes rushed up to tho Marshall and his
prisoner and demanded his release. The
excitement at this time became intense
the whites answering the call of the
Marshall; business houses closed their
shutters and doors almost instantly, and
everything indicated a riot of tho first
order. Tho struggles of the prisono
seemed almost superhaman, still the
Marshal and his deputies held on until
tho groater part of his clothing was torn
off. But the negroes crowded in and
absolutely'delivered him from the hands
of the bfflcors and effected his essape.
The cxcitement continued until late in
the evening. The whites being depu-
tized by the Marshal and presented with
badges, armed themselves momentarily
expecting demonstrations of violence
from the negroes until half past four,
when tho crowd began to disporse and
all becamo quiet. James Whitfield, Rice
Foutelroy and Chas. January, and others
woro lodged in the lock up to await
their trials, on the chargo of encourag
ing the escapo of John Dabney. A guard
was placed at the station house, and the
city pitrolled by special police; but.
everything remained quiet, and we may
be tbankfnl that our usually quiet city
•scaped a riot of tho first class. Jim
Wbitfinld, Rice Fontolroy, and Chas.
January wore found jfuilty in the May-
or's Court on Saturday morning and
variously fined. John D^bnsy, the
loader of the disturbance is still at
larga,-. Victoria Advocate,
—Gen. John C. Breckenridge is look-
ing better than he has done at any time
since the winter set in, and his friends
entertain tfeo hope that his health will
soon be fully reestablished.
General Garibaldi has refused the
grant for an annuity made to him by the
Italian Parliament. Ifi this age such an
act is worthy of note.
aa-A statue to Burns will soon be
erected in Central Park, New York,
It is of bronze, and costsgll2,000.

THE HEW TORE
««The Leading American
Newspaper,'*
FOUNDED BY HORACE GREELEY
In the recent elections the people
have declarod in favor cf honesty in po-
litics and independence in journalism,
Thb Tribune, which years ago declared
that it was not and never more would
be a party organ, claims tho verdict, as
the popular vindication of its course,
and recognize in tho rcsnlt the voice [of
the people for reform and integrity in
government, for candor and indepen-
dence among newspapers. During tho
campaign which has just closed Thb
Tribune has fully maintained its right
to the titlo of the "Leading American
newspaper." This position it has earn-
ed aud retains for the following, amone
other reasons: ■>
It publishes all the news, earlier,
more fully, and more intelligently than
any other paper. — —o-
Tt insists on peace throughout the
whole country, tho right of locM self-
government, and the protection of all
classes in the exercise of their just and
legal rights.
It advocate* confidence and good feel-
ing between North and South, and la-
bors for an honest and abiding recon-
ciliation.
It maintains fairness and candor to-
ward all public men and questions, and
dignity and courtesy toward associates
and rivals.
It publishes scientific news, reports,
discussions and discoveries to .a degree
of fullness and accuracy never before at-
tained by any paper.
It gives every week ten or more co-
lumns of the most carefully prepared
agricultural matter during tho year,
much more in tho aggregate than the
entire contents of any other agricultural
publication, and the whole forming a de-
partment of which an eminent agricultu-
ral editor said: "It has done more to
make good farmers than any other influ-
ence which ever existed."
It has published a scries of Scientific
and literary extras which have met a
wider sale and more emphatic popular
approval than any similar publication of
tho kind.
