1T is now about 10 years since this medicine
n has been introduced to the public, and it
stands unrvalled in its effects, bearing the Sc
we're scrutiny of all classes, both friendly and
unfriendly. 1t is but for one purpose; for the
use of mothers who have to pass through sea
of affection in giving birth to mankind not to
be described. 1t is to you we make an appeal.
1t is for your especial and general good that you
should make use of one bottle of the Mother $
Relief before confinement, then you can APP
proach the parturient chamber without feeling
as if you were going to the chamber OF death.
You may rest assured it will still all febrile and
nervous affection. 1t smoothes and shields from
irritation, and by its peculiar properties it de.
stroys the cause ofhemorrhage or Inflammation
that so often attend and follow the hour of par
turtion 1t causes sweet and natural rest, and
at last facilitates the birth, so taht mothers have
not to pass through such excruciating pain and
distress. The Mothers Relief may be depended
upon in all cases of threatening abortion where
it is possible to be prevented;in case of spasms,
&c, causing frequent alarm, from two to three
doses will give immediate relief
As the subject is one that cannot with propri-
ety be fully discussed in this public manner,
we in yite all who feel interested to call on our
agents (most of the respectable Druggists in
the United States,) or on the manufactures,
and they will be furnished with complete
pamphlet in which they will find all the facts
to form n correct opinion of its merits, and al
so the opinion of many physicians ofeminence
and of persons who have become acquainted
with it's beneficial effects.
CANTON to Purchasers. We learn that spu-
rious articles of Mothers Relief are put up by

Smith of New York; his bottles and cut with
the directions that are pasted on the bottle, is

was an agent of ours and has the genuine
pamphlet Consequently it is well alculated
to deceive the public. Ask for Borthotick's
Mothers Relief. None is genuine unless oui
signatures are found within the wreath of the
direction that rs pasted on the bottle, signed
with our own hand, and over the neck of the
bottle is u fac smile of our hand writing also

The Death of Lieut.. Morris.

A correspondent ofthe Now York Journal
of Commerce, in letter giving an account
ofthe bombardnent of Tabasco, speaks of
the fate ofLieutenant Morris, who was shot
while proceeding with orders from Commo-
,lore Perry TO Lieutenant Parker. 1t. Morris
was, we believe, professedly pious.
The writer says: GAS he neared Lieut..
Parker, Lieut. Morris was standing upright
in the stern sheets of his boat, when volley
of muskets, from the MeXicans, was discharg-
ed at his boat. A ball struck him just under
uhe chin-glancng, it entered his throat, and
buried itselfagainst the vertebre, of the neck.
lie fell, and was conveyed. almost insensible,
if not quite, back to the Vixen, where surgical
aid was Immediately afforded"
He yet lived-and when the conflict was
over, and the expedition had returned. the
wounded officer was conveyed to the flag ship
Cumberland, aud placed in the cabin ofCom-
modore Conner. The writer says.
cit was now nearly o'clock ofthe evening
a lovely night-and the eve of the Sabbath
tlay. There seemed rest spread over the
.expanse Of water, in which the shipping lay,
i'll accordant with the scenes of awful strife
which had been going on for days. Lieut..
Morris recognized the Commodore as he
spoke to him, and spoke audibly himself, but
with difficulty, as he was adjusted in his cot
tor his night Of unrest.
The evening advanced, and all was quiet
in the ship: and the dying Lieutenant had IL
round him the kindest attendance, and hopes
were cherished still that it might be well for
him, and he would yet recover. But two
hours had only passed, the tefi o'clock lights
were Just put out, when n sudden change
which might, at any moment, have been ex-
pected, came over the sufferer, and, in five
minutes more, he slept, one ofthe noblest
Victims that this unholy war could have num-
bered from the young officers ofour Navy.
He had been composed during all his con-
seriousness of his critical situation--bad made
all his angements--and left his farewell
letters, should that fate meet him, which now
indeed had come upon him.
At one moment after having been assured
by the surgeon that there was little hope of
his long surviving his wound, he requested to
lhave read to him that beautiful passage ofthe
Scriptures, in which Jesus Christ says, Sin
any Fathers house there arc many mansions
fit were not so, would have told you;
go to prepare place for you, that where ]
am, there We may be Also And rs he closed
his eyes OH earth forever, il was blessed
consolation to those who loved him, TO feel
the assurance that his spirit now rested in
one ofthose 'many mansions prepared dor

The Atlantic---More p artio-

Tho cold and dreary task of colln,ing all
the incidents relating TO the direill calamity
of the Atlantic IL not yet over. Every mail,
every boat, every train from the East brings
some particle ofintelligence to keep alive the
painful and intense sympathes of the pub

sniated, but at n fearful expense ofangush
ind despair. The latest accounts give forty
lives 10 the soo, which has cast as many dead
bodies 10 the shore. All have been recognIz-

the waves hnve yet rendered no account.
One sad tain has just been told us, that

City with his wife, young lady whom he
had married here about year and half
since, and an infant child. His business had
called him to the East, 81 he wrote TO his wife
on Wednesday, saying that he intended to be
at home on Friday at flrthest; and might pos
sibly return in time for Thanksgiving dinner
on Thursday. He did not come, and tho anX-

When Providence blesses
In hasket and store,
And conscience confesses
That you need nothing more;
When plenty is smiling,
And cheering your life,
With comforts beguiling
All labor and strife
Then think ofthe needy!
Remember the poor!
For good ever ready.
Drop aid at their door.
Wherever another
In anguish you find,
Speak Joy to that brother!
Breathe balm on his mind!
His look of sad pleasure,
The tear and the smile
Repay in full measure,
And gladden. the while.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE on the
trial of Salamander Sales, at Vauxhall Gar.
The undersigned attended trial by fire Of
three iron safes, known as Gayler S, Richs
and Wilder's (or Herring 81 Salamander Safes
on the morning of the 10th January, 1916.
The safes were placed in a furnace con-
structed of brick, about FIVE feet high, and IN
the same relative position Each safe was eI'
ahmed, and believed 60 be in perfect order
A number of account books were put in the
book case, and several papers in the drnwersd
each safe, and the doorslocked and the fuel,
consisting of charcoal, pine and oak woodland
rosin, was applied, ignited, and renewed twice
during the day. M ...r...
The fire was very intense, and was suffered
to remain burning until the following morn
ing, when the safes We're removed, Gaylef'
safe was found to be in such order as to be uh'
locked, when the book case and contents were
found to be in a good state of preservation
The contents of the other safes were mass
of burning charcoal.
We consider the trial to have been conduct
ed with perfect fairness. For further Particu'
lars, reference is made to our individual stae'

APPOINTMENT OF MEMBERS OF con-
GtESS 10 OFFiCf.

One practice now pursued in our govern
ment, is deeterous IN ITS consequences, and
cOrruptlhg IN It's influence we mean the APP
pontment of Members OF Congress to Office
So manifest had this become, even IN the tune
OF Gen. JACKSON, that he, among many other
popular opnions pu, form fa' Cytet, strongly
urged the adoption OF a law, 10 prevent tus
abuse, or, at least, 10 mitigate lis evils. lie
conten ed himself, II rs true, with pointing out
what was wrong, ana proposing remedy, and
then continuing TO tread in this particular, in
the path of his predecessors, or rather, IN far
exceeding them in the number OF the obnoX-
ious appo iatments; but still his recommendation
was an acknowledgement that a correction was
needed, and we only regret that he did not APP
ply the remedy. Weneed not enter into an
argument on the subject, to show, what we
have Just characterized as the doleieriouS CON
sequences and corrupling influences Of the
practice referred 10, and now the occasion OF
these comments. lis effects upon the ndepen-
dence OF the representatives, upon the progress
OF legislation, upon what should be the high
standard Of political morality, must be maui
fest. The representative placed between the
hope OF executive favor, and the fear OF olen-
ding his constituents, has the chances often IN
his favor, if he should betray his trust, and yield
10 the Establishments oipower. lie has those
at home who confde in HIM, and before whom
he can excuse himself sometimes, in0eed, So
subtle is the effect even upon himself, that be
receives the favor, as If Il were an act Of pat
riotism on his part, unconscious o. tie sedu-
eng nature OF the 'spoils, 'and wears the gold
en- shackles of office, as if they were trophies
OF his abilities Others, again, more gross
and open in their conception and realization OF
the nature of Executive bounty, when thus
applied, shamelessly contend for the boon, and
loudly complain when they are disappointed
in not receiving their retrard!
We make this last remark in view Of what
has recently occurred, and been admitted on
the floor OF the House Of Representatives
We see there, that one Representative has
been applying for the office OF Paym in
the Army-and. that another has been a dill
gent seeker for a command in the Army
and we have assurances that others are in the
same category. regular Office seekers, beselglng
the President with applications. either ior tneln-
selves, or in behalf Of their relatives The
recital is Illuminating, but the facts should be
known, and we think it would be dong a
public service, 10 publish correct list OF the
Members of the present Congress who have
been cringing at the footstool of Executive
