Nov. 9th, 1876. CADER NEWSOM, n33w3 Administrator. DR. JOHN BULL'S SMITH'S TONIC SYRUP FOR THE CURE OF FEVER A 1ST I) ACrTJE, OR CHILLS AND FEVER.

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine ustly claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever of fered to the public for the safe, certain, speedy and vermanent cure of Ague and Fever or Chills and whether of short or long standing. He refers to the entire Western and Southern country to bear him teatimony to the truth of the assertion, that la no case whatever will It fall to cure if tbe directions are strictly followed and carried out. In a great many cases a single doee has been sufficient lor a cure, and whole families have been cured by a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the gen eral health. It is, however, prudent, and in every case, more certain to cure, if its use is continued la smaller doses for a week or two after the disease has been checked, more especially in difficult and long standiag cases. Usually this medicine will not quire any aid to keep the bowels In good order.

Should the patient, however, require any cathartic medicine after having taken' three or four doses of the tonic, a single dose of Bull's Tegetaile Family Fill wiU bs sufficient. j-'i The genuine SmrH's TokicSykuf must have Dal Jobh Bcit'i private tamp an each bottle'.

In South Carolina the Supreme Court bas issued an order permitting the Canvassing Board to proceed with the can-Tass; of thervote for' members of Congress and the Legislature, on the basis of their first! report to the court.

The question in dispute regarding the Presidential electors will be upon Ibyj the court at an early day. Florida! the Cricuitl Court has grantedan order temporarily restraining Governor Stearns from canvassing the vote of that State, and citing him to show cause why the injunction should not be made perpetuaL It has also ordered the Canvassing Board to show cause forth with, why a writ of mandamus should not be issued directing them to proceed at once with the canvassing of the.voteJ Ia Edgefield.v county, South Carolina, 2,000 more Totes were returned than there were voters. This beats Dubois county, in this State, -r- The Canvassing Board in South may yet determine to throw out the vote or correct the returns of Edgefield county, in which case the whole Republican I State ticket will be elected.

warn Fvt the Republican. An Old Pioneer. Josiah Shumaker, the subject of this short sketch, is still residing on his farm west of the town of Medora, Jackson coun ty, surrounded by children and grand children, quietly passing away the closing years oLan eventful pioneer life. Shumaker was born in Knox county Kyn in 1803, -emigrating to Jackson coun ty in 1814. Since that time he has cleared up four farms from the wilderness, ihe firsi in the Jork of White and Muscattatuck rivers? two in the Bottoms, and the last one on 'Pea" where" he now lives.

Ajiy passing through the trials and labors of clearing up a single farm from the wild wood, can appreciate the labors of the old pioneer, who gives quite a glowing account of the times in 4 the woods, sur rounded by wild beasts and wild men. The Delaware and the Potawattamies still hunted and skulked througb the forest, the latter-tribe taking a' settler's scalp whenever opportunity afforded. Game was very pier.ty, elk, deer, turkey and bear. The oldstioneer jellied an injOance of six bears togetlier iiilcLiry trees after nuts. p.
