WA-AHOO PILLS.

CONSUMPTION CURED BY THE
" EXTRACT OF WA-AHOO.--yia
Indian Medicine.--This medicine has pro.
we'd to be the grand desideratum 60 long
sought for, as cure for Consumption and
llother affections of the lungs. The Wa
ahoo root has long been used by the Indi-
ans as positive cure for these complaints,
and this medicine is an extract of the root,
prepared in a strongly concentrated form,
and possessing all its virtues in the highest
degree. Every person afflicted with Con
Sumption, Coughs, or any affection Of the
lungs, will do themselves injustice to omit
the present opportunity Of being cured.
The following certificate is from gentle
men living in the neighborhood of the pro-
prielor, who have themselves witnessed the
cures effected by it.
Avon, Liv. Co. N. Y. June 90, 1887.
We do certify. that the said Indian Me-
dicine. has IN this vicinity, and in others
where it has been used acquired very high
regulations; and that in every case where il
has been used, within our knowledge, it has
universally produced a speedy cure, and re-
stored to the most perfect health when all
other, remedies have failed. We feel con
fidence in here stating, that we believe that
the above Indian Medeciue Is the great de.
slderatum for the cure of those obstinate
affections Of the lungs which have SO long
bnffied the remedies of the most skilful phy.
scians.
Burtis Hawley, Amos Damn, Merrill COL

Osgood, Merritt w. Riggs.
We, the undersigned, do hereby certify
that we have used the Extract of Wa ahoo
an Indian Medicine prepared by Ebenezer

lies, for diseases Of the lungs, and it has ex-
ceeded our sanguine expectations in the
cure Of SAID diseases. We feel confidence
in recommending it US perfectly safe and
highly beneficial remedy and cure for lung
complaints, and speedy cure for coughs
and colds, also all kinds boue complaints,
such as diaph9a, dysentery, &c.

An election for members Of Congress and

The returns so far are very imperfect and I'M
satisfactory. There seems TO he no doubt
that Dawson, (Dem.l is elected TO Congress
from the % district. There is also n strong
probability that the Sd district has returned
a Democrat. This will make a gain Of two

"fce in the hands of a majority" This is Mr..
Jeferson's testimony and the history of the
period Of which he speaks will bear him out
in its correctness. On the other measure al
luded to, the division of the N. w. Territory,
he acted with the federal party.
8. 1t is well known that the "Aurora," was
curing this memorable period, the leading Re-
publican paper. 1t was the jealous advocate
Of the principles of Jefferson and Madison.
In that paper, "Mf. Harrison, delegate OF
the N. w. Territory" is classed among the
Federalists. In another place, the editor
lampoons each Of the party in congress by
providing a library for them, and for each
leader a treatise peculiar TO his taste. He
a!lotts to Mr.. Harrison, "Barrataria or San
'cho would be governor-second part to an
sold farce, with notes by Judge Symmes,
'and Jonathan Dayton" This Of itself would
be decisive, for at that time it is very GER
tain, that that paper could have no reason for
diminishing the number of its friends. We
shall recur to this subject again and offer
still stronger proof of Harrison's connexion
with the 'black cockade" party.

bow ready for use.
The fire kindled rapidly, and the Indians
laughed aloud as the flames curled over the
rotten log. Tom was not brave, but it would
seem as if the miserable wretch had, while

of dying by the fire rather than give them the
delight of killing him with their arrows.
This however. was feat not in human nature
to perform, and after enduring the torture to
the last moment, the doomed wretch dashed
off the burning log, and sprang to his feet with
his deer skin dress wrapt in sheet of flame.
He threw himself upon the ground and roll

and rushing to the precipice, sprang over the

it disappeared beneath projecting crag, hun

THE DREADFUL REVENGE OF A
JEALOUS LOVER.

A letter from Presburg states that short
time since, the fine village ofFalsoe, Thar
kenary, in Germany, which contained 800
houses, was entirely consumed. The popu-
lation consisted of 900 persons. Vengeance
was the cause of its destruction. On GER
tain day was celebrated the marriage of a
young girl, the daughter of rich farmer,
with the son of a farmer of that village. AZ
ter the ball was over, which lasted until mid
night, the newly married couple retired. A
young man named Thelkey, who formerly
made lovcto the young girl, newly married,
having been disappointed, set fire to the
house, which extended to the other houses in
the village /; and in less than three hours the
whole village was consumed. More than
300 persons were burnt and about 300 mu-
tilated; amongst them were found the new
ly married girl and her husband, dreadful!v
injured. The author of this dreadful crime,
Charles Thelkey, is in the hands of justice.
and owns his guilt with the greatest sang
froi9.
