Raleieh News: The recent pain

calls to mind the fact that he is the fourth

and Mr. Boyken, and now Mr. Conigland,
of the defense. We learn that the
popular barber of our city, W. G. Otey,
has been appointed Adjutant of the 4th
battalion colored State Guards, and that he
will accept the appointment. No better
one could have been made. The ap
plication for fees, by Messrs. Brewster and
others, counsel in the Swazey suit, men
tioned in the Federal Court proceedings,
involves, as we understand it, about the
I olio wing facts: The counsel at first de
manded $100,000 fees; $25,000 were paid,
and Mr. Batchelor was appointed referee,
who reported in favor of allowing $40,000
additional to the $25,000 already paid,
besides what might, be asked for for the
referee and other minor expenses. Messrs.
Fowle and Carter argued in opposition to
the confirmation of the report. ' '

ScHEXcK's Mandrake' Pills will be found to
possess those qualities necessary to the to taT eradi
cation of all bullous attacks;' prompt to atart the
secretions of the liver, and give "a' healthy tone to
the entire system. Indeed, it is no ordinary disco
very la medical science to have invented a- remedy
for these stubborn complaints, which develop all
the results produced by heretofore free use of ca
lomel, a! mineral justly dreaded by mankind, and
acknowledged to be destructive ia the extreme to
the human system. .That the properties of certain
vegetables comprise all the virtues of calomel with
out ita injurious tendencies, is now an admitted fact
rendered indisputable by sdentinc researches; and
those who use the Mandrake Puis will be folly sat
isfied that the best medicines are those provided by
nature in the common herbs and roots of the fields.
These PUis open the bowels and correct all billions
derangements without salivation or any of the inju
rious effects of calomel or other poisons. The ee
cretlon of bile is promoted by these pills, as will be
seen by the altered color of the stools, and diaap-
pearing of the sallow complexion and cleansing of
