General Suspension Of Newspapers; there
has been considerable said, In different quar-
ters and by different, writer's, as to what
woud be the effects upon the reaing public of

were to suspend their operation for ono or
two months. We should like to see the
experiment tried.--We have no doubt that
it would be the means to bring to the press
much better support than it has received.
Men, who now rely on their neigbors who
take the paper, for all the information they
get; would become more interested, and
support some paper or other; for the disap-
pointment TO those who do not take the pa

Hoiiordys Ointment and Pills hare effected
an Astonishing CHre Of A6scess that the Fac
uity pronounced dIncurdble-Robert Parlett, ma
rincr, of Wolsoken, near Wisbeach, was afflicted
with dreadful abscess in the arm. He had
been two years in a Hospital abroad, and for
considerable time in one at home, without re-
ceiving the least benefit, and at last was given
up by the faculty, who pronounced him to be
incurable: but after using Holloway's Ointment
and Pills for short time the wound was COM
pletely healed, and his health permanently re-
stored. This can be attested by Jr. Abraham
Catlin, and other respectable inhabitants of tho
parish of Wolsckcn.
