Distressing Occurrences.-The Louisville
Times, of the 1st instant, gives the following
account of two distressing occurrences in one
family.
w One night last week a fire occurred about Is
miles from Lawrenceburg, Dearborn county,
Indiana, by which the house of Mr.. Kissel was
burned, and, shocking to relate, his little grand
daughter, seven years old, was CONSUMED in
the flames. All that remained, a few bones,
were gathered up the next day and buried
Mr.. Kissel was so overwhelmed with grief at
the loss of the little girl that he could not find
heart to forward the sad intelligence 10 the
child's mother, (who was his own daughter,)
living in Cincinnati, until another casualty made
the blow a doubly heavy one to her. A few
days after the fire the old gentleman: Kissel,
went down into the well belonging 10 the
house to repair or clean it. The air being i'm
pure, he was afflicted by the dumps, and drawn
up o corpse.

A Sad Sigh.-The following account of a
scene in the Boston Police Court on Friday, is
from the Posts:
MARY Jane Curtis, acknowledged that she
was a common drunkard. Her appearance
young beautiful, well dressed, dignited, almost
10 haughtiness, and an Indication of being well
educated and accomplished, together with the
Years freely shed, touched a veteran official, and
led him to exclaim, There must be some mis-
take, Bat, alas! it was too true--a native of
a nelghboring town, with a home. education,
accomplishments, everything to make life hap
Ply, in evil hour she fell, and all efforts to re-
claim her have hitherto proved unsuccessful
A few weeks since she was found upon the
ground in a fit, friendless. She was carried to
the hospital, where she soon recovered, and
such was the impression she produced, that she
was provided with abundance of clothes and
money, and a respectable position was secured
tor herout of the city. She remained one day,
when she returned TO her old haunts and habits.
Ihe next two months she will spend at Deer

DYSPEPSIA AND INDIGESTION-These
great scourges of our people cannot be too well
understood, or the means of averting or curing
them too highly appreciated. The person who
discovers any means of cure or alienation, ~confers
a benefit upon his fellows, and is deserving ofhon-
or. This desirable consumation has been achiev-
ed, and not only may dyspepsia be cured, but it
may be prevented, by the use of "Hoofiands Ger

have tested its efficacy. tits perfectly innocuous

The condition of the affairs between Turkey

UThe Watering places on the Louisiana
Lake shores are suffering greatly from the pre-
vailing fever. At Convington there are many
cases, but the mortality is small. jacksonville
has been severely scourged-most of the cases
having proved fatal. In Lewisburg, where
there are only sixteen families, the disease has
ragged most frightfully. 1t is to be hoped that
the Howard Association will not limit its kind
Offices to jacksonville; but will send deputa-
tons to the assistance of all these afflicted
villages. So says the Picayuae.

NIW PATENT TRUSS,
AND RUPTURE REMEDY,
WILL EFFECT A SPEEDY CURE

tbAASZ L. L ~ ~ IL SAALL
Fly this Truss the following objections so prominent in
every other one IN use are bNiateG-StrOng spring, with its
consequent severity, injurious pressure, and inability TO
cure. And the following advantages gained: gentle pres
sure, complete retention, perfect ease and complete cnre.
This Truss is entirely different from al! others in form
and principle of action, consequently, efect-pesscssing
all the advantages, while it is free from the objections attri-
butcd to the various kinds heretofore in use. The pressure
is morc natural, being comparatively light in bad rupturcs:
can be regulated and brought to bear directly over the heri-
nal openings, thereby %aifording security at all times, even
under the most violent exercise. By its use, when fitted by
the proprietor or $ skillful surgeon, the wearer is placed
beyond the danger of Strangulation or any other painful or
dangerous symptoms, which are not unfrequent to the use
of other Trusses. 1t is a very common practice for persons
afflicted with Hernia, to select Truss aud apply it to them
selves. 1T is Il bad and dangerous practice, which can be
seen only by those who understand anatomy, and are fan,i-
liar with the nature of ruptures. Let it be remembered that
the best Truss may be injurious if it does not suit the form
Of rupture applied to. and is not properly fitted. Therefore,
| have concluded TO form no Agencies, but to seliand apply
the Truss ONLY AT my Office, 20 st. Charles street
New Orleans.
Obseryethe sign of the u over the door.
The following Is deemed sufficient evidence Of the superb
orty of this Truss.
