ANOTHER SCIENTIFIC WONDER,

Prepared from RENNET, or the fourth STOM-
ACH OF THE OK, after directions of BARON
LIEBlG. the great Physiological Chemist, by
J. S. HOUGHTON, NJ. D. Philadelphia. Pa.
This is truly wonderful remedy for lNDIGES-
TJON, DYSPEPSIA, JAUNDICE, LIVER
COMPLAINT, CONSTIPATION and DEBIL-
TfY, Curing after Natures own method, by
Natures own Agent, the Gastric Juice
"a Half teaspoonful Of PEPsIN, infused in wa
ter, will digest or dissolve, Fire Pounds of Roast
Be fin about tuo hours, out of the stomach
PEPSIN is the chief element. or Great Digest
ing Principle Of the Gastric Julce--the Solrem of
the Food, the Purifying, Preserving, aod Stimula-
ting Agent of the Somach and Intestines. 1t is
extracted from the Digestive Stomach of the Ok,
thus forming all ARTIFICIAL DIGESTIVE
FLUID, precisely like the natural Gastric Juice in
its Chemical powers, and furnishing a COM
PLErE and PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for it.
By the aid of this preparation, the pains and evils
of INDIGESTION and DYSPEPSIA are remov-
ed, Just as they would be by healthy Stomach.
1t is doing wonders for Dyspeptcs, curing cases
of DEBILITY, ,EMACIATlON, NERVOUS DE-
CLINE, and DYSPEPTIC CONSUMPTION,
supposed to be on the verge of the grave. The
Scientific Evidence upon which il is based. is in
the highest degree CURIOUS and REMARKA-
BILE.
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
BARON LIEhIG in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: "An Artificial Digestive
Fluid, analogous TO the Gastric Juice, may be
readily prepared from the mucous membrane Of
the stomach of the Ok, in which various articles
OF food, as meat aud eggs, will he s9fened chang.
ed, and digesled, just in The same manner as they
acouM be in the human stomach"

A Curious Marriage is stated to have
occurred not long since in SkaneateIes,
New York, rather out Of the ordinary
line, but still perfectly legal. The par
ties were Mr.. Samuel Sellers and Miss
Sarah Abbott. The ceremony is thus
described by ali eyewitness. After
giving his views in brief speech, Mr..
Sellers took his bride by the hand, and
said
In the presence Of all who are pre-
sent, | take Sarah Abbott to be my wife.
making no promises of continued atiec-
ton, and invoking no aid thereto, but
hoping, trusting, believing that our
characters arc sufficiently well adapted
TO enable US TO be to each otter faithful
and affectlonate husband and wife dur
ing our lives"
Miss Abbott then said:
g In the presence Of all who are pre-
sent, take Samuel Sellers TO be my
husband, making no promises, but hop
ng, trusting and believing that our
characters are sufficiently we'll adapted
to each other as TO enable US to be
faithful husband and wife while we
live"
They then signed paper with their
declaration of being husband and wife,
and the company csent igned cert
ifca,c as Witnesses to the ceremony, and
thus they became husband and wife.

PIzARRo's GRAvE AT LlMA.-In the
crypt under the high altar arc deposit
ed the remains Of the celebrated Pizarro,
who WAS assa.sinated in the place near

into the hand OF the sacrs,an. procured

IA few steps, | entered IA small place,
some twenty feet long, quite light AID
whi,ewashcd, and which smclt and loots
ed SO much like n comfortable wine Gel
lar, that caught myself more than once
looking around for the bins and bottles.
The first object | saw was a large
square tomb, surmounted by the erect
figure OF an abbot. and close by, in an
opcaing in tie wall, | noticed what ap-
peared to be collection of dusty rags,
but closer inspection proved that this
was all that remained Of the renowned
conqucrer of Peru. He has still on him
the same clothes and shoes which he
wore at the moment Of his assassination.
OF course. his body is nothing hut a
skeleton, covered with dry flesh and skin,
so that no features arc disccrniblc The
body is covered with what was once
white linen, swathed around him, hut
| the dust Of centuries has collected on
him and turned it TO light brown color,

The body is placed OH narrow piece of
plank, in sloping position, and has been
placed in that position merely to put it
out Of the way. The folks in Lima do
not think anything OF the remains Of

money judciously invested, would pro-
cnrc Tor any curiosity-hunter the whole
of the remains.

no treaty provision for the extradlion

fine faculties and very good education

industry and perseverance which he ex

orablc purpose, would have given him
an elevated position in society, while it
could not have failed to place him in ai-
fluent circumstances. HIS offences were
all agains, property.
He was the most skillul coiner and
counterieiter of his day, though he
would probably be esteemed a bungler
in this more enlightened and progressive
age. Early in life. and before he had
become famous for his warfare against
the laws, or placed himself in an attitude
OF hostility to seclety, he assumed the
manners and dress Of IL clergyman, and
engaged 10 olIiciatc in that capacity in
an obscure village in the Western part
OF Massachusetts. lie acquitted him.

LESSONS; and IL finally got hruited about
that he was not Il clergyman al all but
was delivering discourses written by
others. The fathers oil the church took
the matter in hand, waited upon their
