Inspurities of the Blood.

These wonderful KIS are valued at the humblest
hearths as well as in the houses of comfort and wealth.
They work a thorough purification throughout the whole
system, without disordering the natural action of auy
organ, and eradicate those germs of complaint* which
consign tens of thousands to an early grave.
Indigestion, Bilious Complaints, and Sick
Headache.

No organ in the human body is so liable to disorder
as the liver, and none is more apt, when neglected, to
become seriously drseased. Remember when nausea,
flatulency, or acidity on the stomach warns OB that diges.
tion is not proceeding properly, that Holloway's Pills
regulate every function, give strength to every organ,
speedily remove all causes of indigestion, bile, and sick
headache, rid effect a permanent cure.

Weakness and Debility.

In cases of debility, languor and nervousness, general
tel by excess of any k4nd, uhether mental or physical,
the effects of these Pills is in the highest degree bracing
it uovating, and restorative. They drive from the system
the morbid causes of disease, re-establish the digestion,
regulate all the secretions, strengthen the nervous sys-
tem, raise the patient's spirits, and bring back the frame
to it, piistine health and vigour.

FRIEND OF ALL.
HOLLOWAY'S piLLS.

Let no one longer be oppreseed with the notion the
hie malady is incurable till these Purifying Pills have had
a fair trial. A few doses will remove the more urgent
symptoms, and thereafter completely control all disor•
dered actions, rouse the torpid liver, relieve the obi trot
ted ktdneys, cleanse impure blood, and confer on every
function healthful vigour.

kindly lent for the occasion) by the Reverend tlervase

TN" of !ife awl Dropsical Swellings.

The turn of life is the most distressing period in wo-
man's existence; it destroys thousands. The whole of
the gross humours collect together, and like • tide sweep
away health and life itself, if not timely and powerfully
checked. The most certain antidote for all these dangers
is Holloway's Pills. Armed with them the fiery ordeal is
passed through, and the sufferer is once more restored to
the possession of unimpaired health. It is but little
I known that at the so.called "turn of life," man also,
when verging on forty or forty•five, discovers that his
health is considerably deranged and knows not the souse
—a critical period in his life. All perils to both sexes
are at once removed by recourse to these Pills.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT IVERLEY.

A serious and destructive fire was discovered
at the Sugar Loaf Farm, situate near Iverley,
on Thursday morning. Mr. Joseph Round is the
occupier of the farm, and it appears that he went
to bed at his usual time, but was disturbed by the
barking of the dog about twelve o'clock. He
then got up and walked round the premises, but
failed to discover any one. He then went to bed
and about 20 minutes past two, Mrs. Round (who
had recently been confined) thought she heard
a crackling noise, which she at first took for rain,
but the nurse in attendance on her, on going to
the window saw flames proceeding from the barn,
and it was at once evident that not only the
barn, but the ricks near it were threatened with
destruction. Mr. Round was soon up, and caught
a horse on which he sped to Stourbridge to give
the alarm, but before he started the fire had al-
ready extended to the nearest ricks, and they
were all in flames by the time the engines ar-
rived. There were two barley ricks, two clover
ricks, and a rick each of oats, rye, and peas;
the wheat fortunately not being carri9d.
The Phcenix and Alliance Fire Engines were
soon on the spot, and were immediately brought
into play. The foreman saved a portion of the
barley in the barn, and this was all the salvage.
They, however, prevented the flames extending
to the granary and stables, which at one time
was in jeopardy. The engines played on the
smouldering ashes for some time after the fierce-
ness of the conflagration had passed, and the
Phcenix engine did not return from the scene of
the fire till twelve hours after the outbreak. The
total damage is estimated at between £7OO and
£BOO, and we are sorry to hear that Mr. Round's
loss is only partially covered by insurance. It
is believed that the persona he heard during the
night caused the fire, and a reward of ,t2O has
been offered for their discovery.

EMIGRATION TO VIRGINIA.

A correspondent, %ating from Bockhorn, /twists Rprines,
Vlrgiut wiites as foltos's ap m the capainLities of that a tata
as a field of oudgration from Europe :
" I read of the scarcity of coal and high price of food,
and feel how glad families of limited tneaus would be of
the opportunities hale. I bought laud at £3 per fere
in May, and have just got in my oats, and e speet
to cut my corn soon. I have a good crop of tobacco.
turnips, and ptatoes, and soy garden has surprised
me. All vegetables that I sowed from home-seed
. .

have thriven,' so far, above my hopes. I have fens
horses, all young, 16 hands hish, averaging £lB ,• two
c /WS, £6 ; pigs, 18s. ; sheep, its. ' • !owls, Is. ; turkeys;
2s. 6.1. ; eggs, per dozen, 6.1. ; hutter, per lb. In
the mountain we have a plentiful rail:fall and cool air„
and the fruits are abundant and good, particularly
grapes, peaches, and apples. As to sogiety, the
f.ibines are four miles from us and full of fashionable,
families; our neighlsitus are all homely, kind-hearted
farmers, troubling themselves little &limit the outer
world. They own the laud, and are generally re-
markably well educated. We are fifteen miles from
the rail from New York to New Orleans, but the turn-
pike road passes our door and the mail runs daily. As
to the political aspect, these people seem to me to rel
tab much of their English ancestral phlegm ; there is no'
Southern firevisble ;as lons as Government lets therm '
alone they do not seem to sliettirb themselves Even
the Presidential election now imminent seeti% to excite
no interest. They are naturally wry friendly to us„
and thankfnl for emigrants of our class. As to labour.
I have employed blacks solely. They have not yet
shaken into their places socially, as freedom is still a
Stile new, and they are apt to he touchy, but se'sth us
they work well and civilly. I pay LI lta 6.1. per
mouth, with cottsge and rations (pork Vol meal) free,
When I say I, there are five of us wbrkimi co opera-

On litondayla public meeting was held in the Grammar
School to consider the provisions of a draft scheme for
the future regulation of the school, recently sent down
by the Endowed School Commissioners. The chair was
occupied by the Rev. J. Hodgson, the vicar. Amongst
, those present were Messrs. H. W. J. Foley, C. Collis, B.
Williams, G. Williams, jun., T. Holyoake, sen., G. Wil-
liams, sen., T. Holyoake, jun., Packer, T. Bolton, G.
Lee, Archer, F. W. Bolton, Morgan, Stevens, Bennett,
Wheeler, Tremens, &c., Bcc.
The Chairman said they were met together to consider
the new scheme for the regulation of their Grammar
School, and the administration of its property. It was a
subject that he hoped all present would take a very lively
interest in, as it was a question that effected the welfare
of the parish. The chief alterations proposed in the new
scheme appeared to be these :—Kinver parishioners, if
the scheme was adopted, were not to have in future any
..relusive privileges of education at the school; the pro-
perty belonging to the school to be sold compulsorily,
sind the proceeds vested in the official trustee of the
Charity Commissioners; the head master to be liable to
suspension or dim/sisal huin his poet without any reason

and the Ointment rubbed over the region of the kidneys
for at least half an hour at bed time, as salt is forced into
meat, it will penetrate the kidneys and correct any de-
rangement. Should the affliction be stone or gravel, it
is particularly recommended that the Ointment, in such
eases, be used night and morning, as by its judicious ap-
plication the most astounding cures may be performed.
