MELANCHOLY AEFAIR.-Enrly on Tues
day morning, the bodies Of Mr.. Isaac 7.
Nash and Miss Adriana Sampson Of
Pembroke, MISS, were found drowned
in mill pond in East Arlington. Mr..
Nash is about twenty years Of age, aud
has for some time past, been keeping COM
pany ilh Miss Sampson, who is about
the same age. On Monday afternoon,
Nash hired horse and chaise at East
bingtou, drove over TO Randolph, where
Miss Sampson was visiting, after having
returned from visit TO Boston in The
forenoon, and taking her in, drove back
to East Abingdon, where the horse was
found tied to fence, and the bodies found
in the poud. The woman had taken off
her shawl and bonnet, and tied them TO
fence, and the man had left his hat near
by, in which was a note, as follows
Ny name is Issac P. Nash. In this
water you will find me. | am a perfect.
ly sane nan. Bury US together, as you
find US.
The bodies were lashed together with
rope which had evidently been bought
for that purpose. The cause OF this
melancholy affair is unknown,

A SAD S1GHT.--The Chicago Free
Press of the 18th inst, says There are
many of them nowadays, no doubt, but
not alwaysso public as the one which has
just affected US to tears. A German en-
igrant, with no mental developement in
proportion TO his physical frame, sitting
on the side wax, weeping over dying
child in his arms, with two others stand
ing near him, and all in the hot burning
sun. He, with his family, arrived on Fri
day; his wife being s'ck was taken to the
hospital; while he, with the three well
children, was compelled to seek occom-
mpdations in the city. A few hours ago
the smallest of the lisle group was taken
with natural prompting he set out to
seek his wife, It's mother, at the hospital.
Unused to the ways, and without word
Of the language, he made slow progress
with his blood of little ones. When he
found the sick indeed dying,"and him yel
still two miles from tho hospital. he sat
down in a despair which words have no
power TO portray, and in the most utter
indifference to all the circumstances of bis
situation, As we turnad away the Health
) Officer was approaching.

TESTIMONIALS FROM THE PRESS.

[From the Echo an Pacifgut.1
DR.. HUNGERFuRD.-W We wish to call the,
attention of our readers to the advertise
ment OF this gentleman, whose extensive
practice and great success is sufficient to
induce all those afflicted to give him call.
The Doctor is not only regularly educa-
ted physician, but he has the prime piles of
honesty and can feel for his fellow beings.
He has undoubtedly more practice than
any other physician in San Francisco and
1t is fast increasing. To those acquainted
with the Doctor, We say nothing as to his
skill and integrity, as they are well known;
but to strangers,we do say call at 1864 Du-
III need is friend indeed.
From the Southern Medical Journal.]
PROFESSOR Recommendations op-
posed to the system OF advertising. yet we
deem it but just to this gentleman to admit
that his system Of treatment in Private
Diseases, is undoubtedly the most approved
one now in use throughout the civilized
world.

speedy and effectual cure of those annoyin1

reputation DR.. Hungerford has earned for

necessary to sta e his address; he therefore

DR.. Pareira's Great ltali n Remedy |!

X 'oh the certain and speedy cure of dis
eases OF private nature, no matter
how long standing. without any injurious
ehects 10 the system, or any change of diet.
1t has never failed-it cannot fail to cure
This invaluable specific, first introduced
into Pisa some frfy y,ars since. soon be-
came so we'll known as certain cure,
that in every town and city. not ONLY on
the Continent, but in Great Britain. the de-
mand Tor 1T was so great, its merits so as
founding, that in less than one year from
its Introduction it had suppianted all other
remedies. The Medical Faculty of the
principal cities of Europe were compelled
to acknowledge its wonderful mastery over
disease. Proprietors of other medicines,
jealous OF its sway, vainly endeavOred to
stay IS onward progress. Like grass before
the mower, their efforts fell to the ground;
and ke lire on the prairies, sweeping all
before it. its onward march became trium.
phant. 1t stood forth upon its own merits:
discerning public saw tried and were con.
vincod of its magical virtues. The massive
fortune acquired by DR.. Pareira from the
sale of it during the six years he prepared
1T, alone bore witness to its miraculous me-
rits AT the decease of the Doctor, the
recipe was bequeathed to his son, who has
lately introduced the remedy into the Uni
ted States The number of cures it has al
ready made are astonishing Thousands
aud tens of thousands can bear testimony
to its efficacy.
All who use it, it will cure, with safety.
speed and certainty no other med cine has
ever possessed. Resort to no quack nos
trums. Use remedy that has been tried
for the past fifty years, and was never
known to fail.
BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITs.
The extensive sale Of this wonderful med
icine has already caused some person or
persons, to palm off upon the unsuspectinR
spurious compound closely resembling
the original. Be particular to buy none
without the written signature of A. Parei-
ra. NJ D., on the outside wrapper of each
bottle. All others are counterfeit. and
their compounders will be punished with
the utmost rigor of the law.
Price Three Dollars per bottle. For sale

all orders must be addressed. A liberal
discount made to wholesale dealers.

FIRE! FIRE!
French Corral DESTROYED.

BY note from w. Ballou. through
Langton & Bros Express, we learn that
French Corral was almost totally de-
stroyed by fire IN Friday; only two houses
were lett standing. j. Ray Il Co., were
the heaviest losers from five to six thou
sand dollars. No farther particulars
have reached us.
The Indians were very troublesome in
the section about Sweetland's and Hunts
Ranches. A party of miners went out to
capture some Indians who had murdered
three or four Cinnamon. when fight en-
sued, which resulted in several Americans
being wounded, and the balance put to
flight. None were killed on either side.
There are several Indian prisoners now at
San Juan, awaiting their trial.

worthy of remork. DR.. Stone wrote senten-
ces on the blackboard. given him by one of
the committee, in the photographic charac-

The advantages to be derived from the in
PRODUCTION of the phonetic system into our
common schools will be very important.

phtneiicaly in one tenth of the time ordinarily
employed
2nd That it will enable the learner to read
the common tyre in one fourth of the time

Bird. That the truth and accuracy Of the
system will induce millions to teach them
selves to read who are now ignnrant.

correct pronunciation of every word.
Any one of these four points is sufficient to
outweigh all the objections against this lin
