NO FAMILY SHOULD BE WITHOUT THEM.
We speak Of McLane's Liver Pills, which
have become ali indispensable Family Medi-
cine. The frightful symptoms which arise
from diseased Liver manifest themselves,
more or less in every family; dyspepsia, sick
headache obstruction of the mensus, ague and
fever. pains in the side, with dry, hacking
cough, are all the results of hepatic derange-
ment-and for these, DIR. McLane's Pills are a
sovereign remedy. They have never been
known to fail, and they should be kept at all
times by families.
DmECrIoss-Take two or three going to
bed, every second or third night If they do
not purge two or three times by next morning,
take one or two more. A slight breaktds
should invariably follow their use.
The Liver Pill may also be used where pur-
ging is simply necessary. As an anti-billious
purgative they are inferior to none. And in
doses of two or three, they give astonishing
relief to sick-headaehe; also, in slight derange-
ments Of the stomach.

"sThis tribe of Indians have occupied the
land of their fathers since the time of their
earliest traditions, and vet there is, in their
midst, the ruin of an ancient mansion, the or
ign of which they do not pretend to know.
Similar ruins exist upon the Rio Salinas, and
in their construction indicate race of men
far advanced in civilization and arts. They
are principally of adobe, and we would sup
pose them the remains of ancient Spanish
missions, did not the historians of those ear

now exist, and refer their origin to race

"'Another tribe of Indians, called Coo
Maricopas, driven by Cuchanes from Rio Col

full Pinos. The villages are contiguous, and
the modes of life are the same with both

:. A Sucker from the region of Egypt" who
had strayed up and squatted on the line where
the road was to run, was applied to for the

He objected strenuously, and persuasion
appeared to be useless. They would spoil
his farm, and he had hearn his cattle would
all be killed when the locomotive came along.
When told that the Company would pay
him for all such damages, he met the agent
with the reply:

ABUSING THE FREEDOM OF THE Pass
Some of our contemporaries (says the New
York Ilerald) are INDUCING in coarse exuta-
ton over the domestic calamity which has
overtakcn the Emperor and Empress of
France. Others have made the Emperor's
misCortunes the occasion of Ievity, and some
have even outraged delicacy by their sneers.
Now whatever political or other faults Napo-
leon Iii. may have we hold that in matter
of so strictly domestic character, and under
n misfortune which by n common and bcne-
ficent law of nature, must have filled the
heart of husband and wife with regret and
sorrow, humanity demands that the misfor-
tune shall not be hailed with savage pleasure
and cruel jibcs A civilized Christian man
would pity dumb brute in the suiierings
and sorrows Of premature but profitless
maternity. Let not the press of civilized,
Christian community degrade itself 10y carry
ing political rancor so far rs 10 exult over
private sorrow that ought to be nvioably sa-
cred from intrusion, otherwise than in SINGER
est sympathy.

that she is upwards of so years of age; the

her fourth child, born at Caughnawaga that
when he was nine years old, some of his
fathers friends in the State came to Caugh-

away to school; and that he returned home
some time after with a diseased leg. She
