Th-e Champion liver & Stomach PILLS- HpHESE PILLS are compounded from the recipe of one of the most eminent physicians of the present day (who; from purely philanthropic motives- knowing their excellent properties by experience has been induced to give the benefit of them to the public at large). They are prepared by an able and experienced chemist, and are acknowledged, by the faculty, to be the most valuable medicine for all disorders of the stomach. and derangements of the liver, ever prepared. It is a well-known fact that most of the diseases incident to the human race, arise from a disordered stomach, and irregular state of the bowels, and for want of a suitable remedy, taken in time, thousands of (at first) simple mala- dies, become serious illaesses. To guard against this great evil, and to preserve the blessings of health, these pills are confidently and earnestly recommended. They act generally on the constitution, cleanse the blood of all impurities; regulate the secretions, and give tone to the stomach; correct the morbid condition of the liver, regulate the bowels, and, by removing all impediments, restore elasticity and vigour to the whole frame. TESTIMONIALS. Usk, January 28th, 1865. gIR i have been in the habit of taking the CHAMPION LIVER AND STOMACH FILLS for some years, and I can safety say they are the best medicine for Stomach Complaints that I have ever taken; and previously to their becoming known to me I had ti i<-<i a great number of different kinds. They never fail m o-ivin" me instant relief, and having received so much benetn from "their use, I think it but right that I should recommend them, as I do whenever I have opportumty. WHITEFIELD_ Castle Farm, Gwebelog, near Usk, March 26th, 1864. SIR,-I am glad to be able to bear testimony to the great efficacy of the CHAMPION LIVER AND. STOMACH FILLS. Pre- viously to my being recommended to try them, I suffered much from Asthma, but since I have been in the habit of taking these pills, when I find an attack coming on I have only to take ene dose to obtain certain and speedy relief, and by repeating the dose two or three times I am restored to my usual health. I am sure that these pills have saved me a vast amount of suffering, and I therefore, with pleasure, give you permission to make what me you like of this testimonial, as, if it should be the means of inducing any persons afllicted as I have been to try the medicine, 1 shall feel ttiat I have done them great service. To Mr. CLARK, Usk. THOMAS PRICE. Penarth, near Cardiff, 24th October, 1864. Mr CLARK, Usk— SIB,— I enclose 28 stamps, and shall be obliged if you will send me two boxes of the CHAMPION LIVER PILLS. You will think I am consuming a great quantity of them from the number of boxes you have sent me; but the fact is, since I have been in this neighbourhood, I have recommended the pills to several persons here who suffer from biliousness, like myself, and they all agree that they never took av^tliin^ that did them so much good. 1 tni"* pills were sold in this neighbourhood, a great many more people would take to them, because they would be sure: to_recommend themselves. HENRY KLLIa. Gwehelog, near Usk, December, 1859. SiK—After suffering for several years from acute pains In my side, back, chest, and stomach, and after calling in several medical men, and trying every remedy, I still suffered severely fron1 the complaints. At length I was induced to try the CHAMPION LIVER AND STOMACH PILLS, sold by you^ The first box eave me great relief. I then purchased a second box, and it completely removed my complaint, and I am now in .perfect health Having received so much benefit from these piHs mvself, I think that I am only doing a service to the public in recommending them. JOHN ROBEltiJs. To Mr. CLARK, Bookseller. Usk. Pontypool, January 20th, I860. gjK —po!- some years I suffered very much from an affection of the Liver. The medical men to wnom I applied gave me pills which removed the complaint for a short time, but it returned as bad as after ever a wtek or ten days. Hearing of the CHAMPION PILLS I resolved to try ttiem, and I am happy to say, that after takni" a few doses, 1. felt much better, and it is now three months since [ have experienced any return of my old O^mplaint. If I have the headache, or pain in the side or shoufders, I take a couple of the CHAMPION PILLS at night, and I feel all right the day. WM. 5, Setile's Buildings, New Swindon, Feb. 24, 1863. SIP—I am wishful to inform you of the great benefit I have found from taking the CHAMPION PILLS. From my childhood I have been much troubled with indigestion, which caused me great Buffering, and I was, never many days without it, until a Meud pave me a few of these pills, which is the only medicine thai gives me relief.

ABERSYCHAN.
ABERSYCHAN. SIGNS OF THE TIMES.- Weare, glad to note that the Ebbw Vale Company have commenced re-sinking the deep pits at Cwmbergwm. These pits were commenced fifteen years ago and carried down some depth, but were aban- doned, as the then owners commenced the Red As^ pits at Cwmnantddu, from which a first-class house coal has since been obtained; but latterly the workmen having opened some old workings, or, as some say, struct the farewell-rock," and the water has entered tne workings in such quantities that one bond is constantly employer, in drawing up the water. This has seriously affected the out-put," and we are glad to note the sinking at Cwm- pergwm as a proof of the increased activity at the Works —and the larger demand for coal. PENNY READINGS.—A SUGGESTION.—We observe THAT the popular penny readings will shortly commence ac Pontvpooi, Blaenavon, and Garndiffaith, and whilst heartily wishing them the success they deserve, we would strongly urge the desirability of establishing these entertainments at Abersychan. There are no obstacles that we can see to prevent such a step, but, on the contrary, there is a large room to be obtained for the asking, and abundance of singers and readers, whom, we feel assured, would only be too ready to come forward. Let the talented leader of the late Philharmonic Society only take the matter in nana and success is certain, as the very large population of the neighbourhood urgently need some source of amuse- ment for the long winter nights.

LLANDENNY. CONCBRT.-On Tuesday evening a musical entertain- ment was given in the School-room, in aid of the funds of the parish schools, which proved eminently successful in its object, as the room was crowded with a most respectable audience, and the sale of tickets realised upwards of zEb. The performers comprised, besides several local amateurs, four ladies from Usk, to whom the promoters are much in- debted, as their performances unmistakeably formed, the richest part of the entertainment. The room had been tastefully decorated for the occasion by the Misses Pritchard, of the Pergoed, assisted by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, the school-master and mistress, and was well lighted up bv chandeliers kindly lent by Capt. Cuxson. The chief mover'in originating the idea and carrying out ine arrangements was the Rev. J. Borrox, to whom, in DO slight degree, is due the success with which the aftdir passed off.

SIR,-Would you kindly inform me, in your next puhlica- tion, since when the day on which the pheasant shooting season commences lias been changed? If it has not, I also wish to know if esquires' gamekeepers are privileged to kill those birds before the regular season comes in. Judging by the manner in which one of those keepers sent the contents of his double-barrel after a very handsome long-tailed bird, I thought it must have commenced last Friday.— Yours, &c., ° A YOUNG FARMER. September 20th, 1865. Our almanack says pheasant shooting commences on the 1st October, and we are not aware that the law gives any im- munity to the class of persons our correspondent refers to. We should recommend A Young Farmer" to act upon a sugges- tion thrown out by a correspondent, in our columns a few weeks since, and forsake his present employment for what would ap- pear to be, just at present, the more lucrative one of a common informer.—LII).

MAGISTERIAL PROCEEDINGS AT…
MAGISTERIAL PROCEEDINGS AT RAGLAN. To the Editor of the" USK OBSERVER." SIK,—Among all the institutions of this, our great country, it is a woild-vride acknowledged fact that none present a higher type, or are of a less exceptionable character, than those for the administration of Jaw and justice. Notwithstanding all the jealousies and angry contentions of brain-fevered litigants, aud ,the blighted hopes of doomed offenders, the moraland intellec- tual status of those invested with the sacred trust of sitting in judicial authority is but very rarely reproached or called in question. It is also a fact, patent, and alike meritorious, that so keen and all-pervading is the sense of the BriLish public to any mis- carriage of, or tampering with, justice in any of our law courts, or to any partiality, or undignified demeanour, on the part of its presiding representatives, that it is scarce possible fur any- thing of the kind to occur, even in the most isolated locality,— and to pass without exposure and censure, if riot- always without redress. Honour and praise be to the guardianship of our liue The least satisfactory of any of our law courts is, beyond doubt, the petty sessional, where the country squire, or some nonentity, dressed in a little bi-iet authority, performs the magistratic office,—the unfitness of whom has almost become proverbial. It is gratifying', however, to see that the signs of the times plainly indicate the coming day when those worthies will be superseded by stipendiary appointments. A case occurred at the late Raglan petty sessions, of which.' S. R. Bosanquet, Esq., was 'the chairman, which-offers very just grounds of complaint. In Morgan v. Williams: upon the witness Elizabeth Morgan, the complainant's mother, being called, the Chairman took occasion to maKe certain imputa- tions against both her and her daughtei, chaiging the.com- plainant with'certain bad habits, and the witness with a dere- liction of- fiaren tab-duties as the cause of the complainant's digression from the paths-of virtue assuming such to be true, because, as he said, he had "been so informed." Yes he been so informed ;"—where ? OUT of court'!—as there WAS not. any evidence offered IN court upou which he attempted to base tho accusations therefore they were based upon what he ('-he chairwan) had" been lllformcd" OUT of court. Hearsay evidence, whether the allegations of the Chairman. were true or false, IS but or minor importance to tne IJlUJ1l0, and is not the question raised nor ye, whether or'nor, in the case quoted, was the decision of the ..Chairman and his col- leagues influenced by those private whisperings from without -and most certainly it were not; so;—but the far more im- portant question is, can it be consistent with jurispiuaence loi a justice of the peace to give ear, out of court, to a communica- tion affecting a case upon which he was to adjudicate. Aae practice of such a thing must be highly dangerous, and calcu- lated to defeat the ends ot justice arid bring its administration into contempt; and disreputable in every sense therefore ac- znanding public exposure and the strongest eensuie. Note, not only may such practice, as I here complain of, lead to par- tial and unjust decisions by biasing the minds of those who u have to administer the law, but the character otany one may be made to suffer seriously. None can be safe if those presi- dium m our law courts are to be permitted to use the brand uinu authority only received m private, and from'which there can* be but little chance of defence. Counter-statement is all that can be offered, and that can weigh but little: as in the case of the witness Morgan, when she attempted to repudiate the imputations of the. Chairman, he reproved, her by telling her that she would keep on talking instead of listening to HIM Note, the imperious Chairman could have no ear for her say—although it was on oath,—but only for what he had been informed out of court. A corner in your independent and valued journal will oblige, Yours, &c., WATKIN Me. INNIS. Other District Intelligence on 8th Pagt
