MORMON FLDKRS TARRED AND FEATHERED.

The Oalera (4l«b«m») correspondent of the "Ohlcapo Times'' writing on the j lfth November, lays :— v Fur the past three months six Mormon eldtra have been proselytising m this, section, and alio at several small towns screes the Georgia border; Several convert* were made at the latter place, an 3 the indigna tion and wrath of the people conid hard y be suppressed when on last BaraNy four married wottei and two men left their homes and made pablio their intention of going <o Utah. The peop'a then gave th elders notice to move on instantly. 'Ah y refased at first ; bnt on Monday 1 ight two of them were taken out and tarred and feathered, and the next night two Otheri were chased into the woods by hounds aud kept m the trees all nigh . The elderß left the noxt day, and tne con- ! Terts are now mission »'«o, leavlDg cix forsaken homes If the elders ever roturn they will be shot at sight, Tho Mormons began their work m the lower patt of thil country among the igncrant country Kople. They were successful there, and ptised a dtzji or more. On Tuesday, while Elders Mower and Sea were con dnotiag a meeting at a log lohoolhonse, fifty armed men dragged them from the pulpit. They were oarried into the woods, tba mob threatening to hang them at •very atep : bat on the intercession of frlendi they were released on their written promise to leave the ooomry m twenty four hours Death was the alternative if they relarnod. Both left that night, bat without their converts, escorted a portion of the way by an armed bund of nearly 100 men. Armed patrols are on gaara, and publ'cly announce their inten tion of killing the first elder who returns there."

One September day, as one Charles Hup was mastering m the v'olnity of Broken Hill, its mineral appearance atruok him forcibly. He and the manager, Mr George M'Culloch, laid their hetida to gather, and pegged oat broken Hill. Tin was what they thought to get out of the plaoe, and they took op two miles along the line of reef. A email syndicate was formed, »nd after several months' pros peotlng without a great deal of suc:eae, two of the little band told out, and when aboot £4000 had been expended, the " Brr.ken Hill Proprietary Company, Lraltfd," was formed, with 16,000 shares, 20fO being issued to the public, while 14,000 were retained by the original disooverera them* aelvea. lo Seperaber last— four years after Charley Rasp'e first happy thought, the va)u« of the oompany at current rates wa« £2,240,000. Calculated at a little lest than the " extraordinary prloe" paid for the shares m AdeUide the other day, tha mine at the present moment is worth Id the market more than three millions and a half of money. But that is by no meant all. The 'cute station manager and his little " proprietary" company oiily worked a very small portion— Bo acres out of 320— of their extended claim. The other blocks have be<*n parted with to other onmpan'e* with capitals v "-y'tig from £76,000 to £250 000 or £300.000.

WHO IS MOTHER SEIGEL.

She is a lady, who by the merest accident has made a most v t}uabk- discovery, and she is creating the wildest enthusiasm all over the coun'ry, and •verybody is talking about her and asking WHAT IS MOTHER SEIGEL'S REPUTATION? And she tells them to r*ad the thousands of lette«, something Ike the following from Mr Perkins : —

A CASE OF GRAVEL CURED. "Feltham, Jan. 6. 1885.

' ' It has always given me pleasure to re commend your medicines to my customers, and the results of their use have invariably been most satisfactory. I could furnish you many testimonials. One case just now occurs to my mind. A c unstable of the police force of looting, S.W., where 1 for many years had a shop, was si patient of mine, suffering from a bad attack of (.ravel. He was per suaded to try ' Mother Seigel's c yrup. He purchased a bottle at my shop, and by the time he had taken half of it he reported him seif to me as quite cured. The effect was simply miraculous. (Signed) *'J. D. FLORANCE." IS MOTHER SEIGEL RELIABLE? Would respectable chemists write like the following if not ? SURGICAL OPKRATI-N AVERTED. "Ticehurst, Dec, 1884. Mr EdWaRD Cohkr. Chemist, writes :— | "Your me icine maintains a steady sale m this district, and is well established m general favor. I know an o'd man, over seventy, who some three or foui years ago was advised to submit to the operation for stone. -He certain'y was suffering from some distressing symptoms, and could scarcely walk. Instead of taking that advice he tried Seigel's Syrup, with the result that, after one bottle, he could walk about fairly well, and, having taken throe or four 2s 6d butt cs, he was completely cured. He is still about, hale and hearty for his years. If any of the symptoms of the old trouble come on, he takes a few doses of the Syrup, and all is well again."

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT MOTHER SEIGEL.

AN EXPERIENCE Of FORTY YKARS. " Cosham, Hants, Jan. z, 1885. " My customers, ever a wide country dis trict, tre not very demonstrative, and I have no written testimonials to send ; but verbal admiration of your medicine is m the ascend ant, and my experience of forty years assures me that no other preparation has so rapidly acquired a popularity, and so firmly main tains its reputation as Mother Seieel's Syrup.

1 f A WO^nKRFUL TESTIMONIAL, "Grove Pharmacy, Ealing, W., Jan 2, )88s. " Your medicine must be the most wonder- ful discover/, for during my experience of more than twenty years. I never knew any proprietary or patent medicine m Buth universal favour and demand. It is simply extraordinary, and if 1 were to send you an account of every statement made to me m its favour, you would have to publish a separate book to contain my testimonials alone. (Signed) " Thomas J. Perkins." And then people ask— WHAT DOES MOTHER SEIGEL DO GIVES RELIEF AT ONCE. " 59, Bloomfield road, Plumstead, "Jan. 7, 1885. '• I find the sale of your medicines increases every year, and everyone speaks well of them that tries them. I know a lady that attended the Female Hospital m Sohosquare for some m«nths, with pains m back and side, and bilious, and could tike no food, but got no benefit from any of the medicines they gave her. Before she had taken all the contents of o n e bottle of your syrup she feit relirf, and is now quite well. (Signed) "W. K. Baker." THE EFFtCT WAS MARVELLOUS. " Mvdical Hall, Bangor, Jan. 5, 1885. "I hear people constantly speaking very highly of Seigel s Syrup. There 13 a case of a young married lady m Anglesey who had been suffering from stomach asthma for a Jong period, who had consulted some of the best physicians of ihe day, but without deriving any benefit. She was daily getting wor(=e, but at last a friend persuaded her to try Seigel's syrup. She procured a boHle, and the effect was marvellous ; she rap dly improved, a«d now she is as strong and healthy as ever she hns been. (Signed) "H. Lloyd.Jonbs." WHAT IS MOTHFR SEIGEL GOOD FOR? DOES NOT RESTORE THE DEAD, BUT SAVIS THE LIVING. Mr J. W. Savill. f Dunmow, Essex, writes, — c eptember, 1884:— "I introduced your medicines mo Punmow almost as soon as they were brought out m London. I sold m a short time eighteen pounds' worth. I hav^ kn ->wn many grand cases of permanent cures; and, as yet, no case of ft'lure. ot- wit standing many competitors, Mother Si igei's .Syrup holas it< own ground. I be- lieve it a good medicine — it will not restore the dead to life, but it appears to save the living from dying.
