as she may have variety with her, one article
of which is probably new blue cloth shawl.
She dresses neatly, and is good looking ser
want. Whether she left Alexandra at the
time reported, or at what time, is as uncertain
as the direction she may have taken. 1t is
probable she is yet in the District or in the
neighborhood, or she mayhave taken north

supposed she has with her, is about six years
old, and looked delicate, owing to late sick
ness her complexion is lighter than the mo-
Their. The above reward will be paid to any

so that get them again, by giving immediate
information to Edm. l. Lee, esq. of Alexan-

DEAR SIR-It becomes me at tsis time, to
express to God my gratitude for the means he
had made use CT, in restoring my long lost
health, by the use of medicine called Pola.
deiplis or India Extract For the last five
years have been so grievously afflicted with
rheumatism, that have at times almost wished
for death to relieve me from my suffering
seeing this medicine advertised, sent for
box, and do declare, that since have began
to use it have never felt pain, and am sure
that by continuing to use it for short time,
shall again enjoy my usual health, and be
able to support my family, as heretofore. In
closed, send you three dollars, for two box
es, which you will please to pack up carefully,
and Mr.. Berney will bringit safe to me. You
may tell the world it ismy opinion, that the
Poladeiphis is the only medicine in the world,
that will cure the Rheumatism. With JOY and
gladness. Yours, WIN. G. MEYER

of the pills which he is using, and receiving
much benefit from it; and am of an opinion
