MISCELLANEOUS. 
Monday, April 19, isso. 
An outrage was committed a short time ago at 
West Point Military Academy which has caused 
much excitement in military, pout leal and judicial 
circles over all the country. A colored cadet named 
Whittaker was found one morning in an insensible 
condition, tied to the bedstead and bleeding Irom 
severe bruises. A n investigation was made but It 
failed to reveal the perpetrators, who were suppos¬ 
ed to be white cadets. A court was instituted, the 
Interest spread, prejudices arose both for and 
against Whittaker, and political factions have 
taken advantage of the opportunity to construct 
theories on the subject and forward arguments 
that will further their own peculiar Interests. 
President ll ayes la determined to have fair play In 
the Investigation and to this end sent the 
United states District Attorney to West Point 
to look alter the matter. The perpetrators of 
the outrage have not yet been found.

Dear Sir:—I planted 20 acres of Corn in drills, 
besides my garden Beans, with me Albany Corn 
and Seed Planter yon sent me last year, 1 n less 
than two flay*, to my entire satisfaction, corn 
yielding more than my neighbors, say on bushels 
to the acre. 1 think the after Ullage Is easier and 
more satisfactorily done, than when planted In 
Hills or Checks, and shall try it again this year.

“ What will euro or relieve catarrh ?" la a ques¬ 
tion which has been frequently asked us, and 
which we have answered to the best of our knowl- 
ln these pages, in this connection we desire to 
call particular attention to the advertisement, In 
this Issue, of Dr. Sykes's Sure cure ior Catarrh. 
Besides the numerous Indorsements of its merits 
specified in tile advertisement, we have It from 
thoroughly trustworthy private sources that it Is 
working some wonderful cures or this disagree¬ 
able, persistent and dangerous ailment; so that 
we strongly advise all whose happiness Is marred 
by It, to give this cure a trial.

Cause and. Effect. 
Disease never comes to us without a cause. 
Ask an experienced physician the reason and he 
will tell you It Is something that intefert‘3 with 
the working of the great organs. Kidney-Wort 
enables them to overcome all obstructions and 
preserve pet feet health.
