The Champion Liver & Stomach PILLS. THESE 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 illnesses. 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. SIR,—I have been In the habit of taking the CHAMPION LIVER AND STOMACH PILLS for some years, and I can safely say they are the best medicine for Stomacn Complaints that I have ever taken; and previously to their becoming known to me I had tried a great number of different kinds. They never fail in giving me instant relief, and having received so much benefit from their use, I think it but right that I should recommend them, aa I do whenever I have opportunity. MARY" WHITEFIELD. Castle Farm, Gwehelog, near Usk, March 26th, 1864. SIR,—I am g-Jad to be able to bear testimony to the great efficacy of the CHAMPION LIVER AND STOMACH PILLS. 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 one 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 use you like of this testimonial, as, if it should be the means of inducing any persons afflicted as I have been totrytlte medicine, I shall feel tnat I have done them great service. To Mr. CLAEK, Usk. THOMAS PRICE. Penarth, near Cardiff, 24th October, 1864. Mr. CLARK, Usk.—SIR,—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 i 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 anything that did them so much good. I think if the pills were sold in this neighbourhood, a great many more people would take to them, because they would be sure to recommend themselves. HENRY ELLIS. Gwehelog, near Usk, December, 1859. SIR,—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 stiH suffered severely from the complaints. At length I was induced to try the CHAMPION LIVER AND STOMACH PILLS, sold by you. The first box gave 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 pills myself, I think that I am only doing a service to the public in recommending them. ° JOHN ROBERTS. To Mr. CLARK, Bookseller. Usk. Pontypool, January 20th, 1860. SIR,—For some years I suffered very much from an affection of the Liver. The medical wen to wnom I applied gave me pills which removed the complaint for a short time, but it returned as bad as after ever a week or ten days. Hearing of the CHAMPION PILLS, I resolved to try them, and I am happy to say, that after taking a few doses, I felt much better, and it is now three months since I have experienced any return of myoId complaint. If I have the headache, or pain in the side or shoulders, I take a couple of the CHAMPION PILLS at night, and I feel all right the next day. WM. MORGAN. 5, Setile's Buildings, New Swindon, Feb. 24, 1863. Sib,—I am wishful to inforru you of the great benefit I have found from taking the CHAMPION PILLS From my childhood ,have been much troubled with indigestion, which caused me great suffering, and I was never many days without it, until a friend gave me a few of these pills, which is the only medicine that gives me relief. MARIA RICHARDS. Llanbaddock, near Usk, Feb. 9, 1863. SIR,-I am very glad to be able to recommend the CHAMPION PILLS. I have tried everything I could think of for the Liver Complaint, but never found any medicine do me so much good as these uftls. Mark of X MARY ANN MERRIMAN. 16, Christian Street, Stockport, 15th Oct., 1862. SIR, Please forward me another box of the CHAMPION PILLS, for which I enclose fourteen stamps. I find them such an excellent medicine, not only for myself, but also for the whole ot my family, ihat I never like to he without some 111 the house.^ 1 believe you when yon sfiy they Eire the a most valuable medicine for the Stom-ich Hnd Liver ever prepared," for I have tried many ditI, rent sorts of pills, but shall never want to change again while I can get these.

USK.
USK. THE FABMEES' CLUB.-At a meeting of the committee held on Monday last, it was resolved that the next annual meeting and ploughing match should take place on Friday, the 27th of October next, and the secretary was requested to write to certain steam plough manufacturers, to ascer- tain at what cost a steam plough could be brought to ex- hibit its work at the annual ploughing match. I PETTY SESSIONS.—There were only four cases set down for hearing at this petty sessions, on the 4th inst., two of which were adjourned, and in the other two the par- lies did not appear. A gas rate for Usk at 4d. was allowed, and also the following rates Usk at 9d., Monkswood at 10d., Gwernesney at 8td., and 6wehelog at 7d. in the
AEERSYCHAN.
AEERSYCHAN. STABBING A HUSBAND.On Monday evening a man named Edward Manney, who works in the iron works here"had a furious quarrel with his wife, when the woman in the heat of her passion, proceeded to blows, and eventually stabbed her husband on the temple. He bled profusely, and his life was despaired of for some time. Both were quite sober at the time. EISTEDDFOD.—The annual Eisteddfod was held on Monday at the Piigah Baptist Chapel, Xalywain, under the patronage of Josiah Richards, Esq. The Re". D. Morgan, of Blaenavon, oc- cupied the chair, and ably fulfilled the duties. The singing, poetry, and prose competitions were considerably better than any hitherto given here, and seemed to augur that the aim and in- tent of these meetings will be fully realised and carried out. The attendance was very satisfactory and the audience seemed well pleased with the efforts of the competitors. Mr. Llewellyn Wil- liams, the famed harpist, played with his usual taste and expres- sion, and his rendering of the grand old Welsh airs merited and received the warmest applause. The chief prize for choral sing- ing, L8, was divided between the Pisgah (Abersychan) and the Blaenavon choirs. While affording every inducement for m- creased knowledge and delight in the Welsh language, we would suggest that a few more competitions in English would increase the number of those who are firm believers in Eisteddfodan. CLUB ANNIVERSARIES.—On Monday, the members of the United Enends society, meeting at the Pentwyn Tavern, held their annual club feast, and marched in procession, headed by a good brass band. [With regard to the after pro- ceedings, we are unable to furnish particulars, as no invitation was sent to our resident correspondent. We hear, however, that a good dinner was set before the Friends," and that a pleasant evening was spent.] On the same day about 120 of the members of the" Hibernian Isle Lodge of United Brothers met at the Lamb and Flag Inn, and headed by theNewport band, and with some elegant banners, (one recently purchased being worth £23), walked to the Ponty- pool Catholic Church, and listened to a capital address from Father Tarragona. At the conclusion of the service the mem- bers marched back and sat down to an exceedingly good dinner, well provided and set out by host James Jones. After dinner Trustee and P. G. Thomas Duggan took the chair, and presided with his usual ability we may add too, that he is deservedly msspeeted -by all the members, as he is the chief support and stay of the club. A pleasant evening was spent, and the affairs of the club being in a fair and healthy condition, its members (nearly all Irisnmeii) deserve credit for the same, and also for the neat and orderly manner in which they turned out in pro- cession. DRINK AND ITS EFFECTS.—We regret to have to notice the sad effects of an over-indulgence in drink upon our hard-working iron and coal workers on pay Mondays. Last Monday evening the village was positively dangerous to walk in-a number of drunkards and aspiring pupils of pugilism thickly bestrewed the roads, and with language unfit to be heard greeted the pas- ser-by-no female could safely pass, and as usual policemen were non est. We mention this because much of this day's dis- grace will be attributed to the clubs-but undeservedly so-as it is a regular monthly occurrence, and is a rank disgrace to the place and the people. The police are also seriously in fault, as if they combined to quell the disturbance, order could be main- tained, but at present they are worse than useless.

Lee was sentenced to 4 months' hard labor.
