MARRIED,

McCandless, Mr.. JOHN GRAY and Miss LOUISA

Accompanying each Of the above announcement
the printer received a most b%ountiful share of de-
liciuus wedding cake. Were he, under such cir
cumstances, to make a great display of words Of
graduation, it might be received as flattery; but
when he, with sincerity, wishes the happy pairs
a long and pleasant life, he hopes and expects to be
believed as speaking the swords of truth and sober
ness" They 60 forth to travel the thorny pathway
life, with the poor printers grateful wishes for
their unbounded success and prosperity in all fu-
ture time. May their lives be as smooth unrufled
sea, where no turmoils or commotions ever occur;
may no dark and lowering clouds hover over their
paths, or dissensions arise in their breasts-butm may
the star Of hope continue to rise higher in the hori-
zon Of their existence, and as it rises, may it grow
brighter and brighter, continually casting IFS reful-
gent lustre upon their "pathway here Below
May the expectations and anticipations of the pre-
sent be more than realized.

New Orleans on the alst, brings news
from Vera Cruz to the 18th inst.
An attack was expected upon Tam
pico by the Mexicans. 1t is reported
that $4,000 were in the vicinity Of that
city.
Information has been received at We
ra Cruz that Generals Scotland Worth,
with the main body of the army, were
advancing upon Rio Frio, without any
appearance Of opposition. The report
states that they were met by a deputa.
ton from the Capital, with propositions
for Peace. We cannot learn the exact
tenor Of the propositions said to have
been made.
General Scott refused to accept them,
and declared his determination to push
on towards the Capital. 1t is thought,
however, that some further concessions
would be made to General Scott, before
marching.

Tread the following statement of facts from Mr..
Eli Bailey, highly respectable merchant Of Wen
ma, Johnson county, Illinois
Messrs Phelps g. Blakesley, ST Louis, Mo-,
Gentlemen:-A desire Ia benefit the afflicted
throughput the land has alone induced me to make
the following statement of facts respecting one of
the most astonishing cures ever recorded: My sdn
now seventeen years aid, has been afflicted during
his whole life with a constant cough, pain in the
side and chest, accompanied with night sweats and
hectic fever, which produced great emaciatiDn
and debility: and at intervals during the night his
expectoration would become SO great as to endan-
ger his life from strangulation. During this time
he was attended by many physicians of the highest
repute, whose prescriptions gave but temporary
relief in fact, so alarming we're the SYMPTOMS, and
SO inveterate was his disease, than | was compel
led to believe him beyond The reach of medical
aid.
All our neighbours who saw him, regarded him
as one who was rapidly approaching an early and
premature grave. After having thus exhausted
theIskill of our best physicians, without obtaining
relief, I was prevailed upon by the advice of a
friend to make use of Wistar's Balsam OF Wild
Cherry.
He commenced its use aboudthe 30th of Decem-
Der, 1874, the first bottle of which gave astonish-
ing relief, and l begun again to indulge in the
fond hope that he might yet be restored to health.
After having continued the use of it until three
hoffIas had paap fabian tho A;coa,a ,yo. oa,:.,I,
and his shattered constitution and
form restored to sound and permanent
health, which he continues ia enjoy up to the pre-
sent time.
believe the genius, DR.. Wistar's Balsam of
Wild Cherry, to be one of the most valuable me-
dicines ever MISUNDERSTANDING, as 1 do, that
the above cure was effected solely by its use.
am, gentlemen, very respectfully,
Your most obedient servant
April 8. 1916. ELI BAILEY.
G-Cures similar to the above are constantly
being perfurmed in all parts of the country, and
shduld indeed be destitute of all feelings of
humanity, did we not call upon all who are afiict-
ed with pulmonary diseases to resort at once to
The use of this, the only remedy that can be relied
upon for a cure.

l hasten to give you some facts con-
corning Il, to prevent the evil ten
dency some o those false reports might
have upon the public mind.
This engagement has been over
looked, owing to its minor Importance,
and the comparative small number en-
gagged, yet it affords to the public a bet
ter example OF the indomitable spirit
and gallant heroism of the Missouri
troops than either Brazito or Sacra-
mento.
While Col. Doniphan's column was
on the march from Chihuahua TO Sal.
tillo, a small advance party under Capt.
Ried, Of about thirty rank and file, ar
rived at Ell Paso twenty-five miles
above Parras) very early on the morn
ing of the 18th May. About 8 o'clock,
A.. VI, a party Of Indians were seen
emerging from a gap of the mountains,
distant about FIVE miles, and making d.
rect for the rancho. Our troops went
out at full galIop nearly half a mile to
meet them. When within thirty or
forty steps Of each other, the Indians
discharged a few arrows, when the A.
mericans discharged their entire volley
at them. Immediately the Indians
raised the yell and rushed in on them,
discharging their arrows with astonish-
ing rapidity. Our men were forced to
retreat about one hundred yards to
lead, when they, in their turn charged
the enemy, and forced him to retreat.
Thus alternately did they charge, keep
ing up the contest for two hours with
much spirit, u troops gaining inch by
inch Of the ground by dint of hard
fighting, and yielding it only with their
lives. The Indians numbered between
fifty and sixty, and their superior horse
manship gave them much advantage,
notwithstanding which they were fore
ed to fall back before the noble daring
Of Capt. Reid and his little band.
Captain Reid, who was ably assisted
by Lieutenants Gordon, Sproule, and
Winston, was the only American woun.
ded. He had the satisfaction of driv.
ing the Indians entirely off the ground,
carrying with them all their wounded
and some dead, yet leaving fifteen on
the field. Nine Mexican prisoners
were taken from them and restored to
liberty, and about 1000 head of horses
and mules, which, as far as practicable,
were returned to the Mexicans from
whom they had been taken.
Captain Reed had the qualification Of
receiving an official document from the
citizens Of Parras, through the project
Of the city, expressive of their admira-
ton and gratitude for his noble con-
duct, and sympathy for his wounds.
Yours, &c. l.. A. M.
