WE DAILY HEAR

w II DAlIl llLAh
OF the most astonishing cures being effected
by that great and popular medicine, the gen.
uine ii. G.. FARRELL'S ARABIAN LINZ
MENT, and we can truly say, from our own
knowledge, that no medicine ever discovered
has performed the same wonderful cures that
it has, both in man and beast, and it is equal
ly good for both, which makes it so truly
valuable. 1t is therefore hailed by the sui.
fering as the greatest blessings of the age, and
no one would ever allow himself to be with
out this sovereign balm, who had once wit
messed its magic power over disease, and its
wonderful potency in relieving pain. however
severe, in few minutes time. We earnestly
desire you to call upon the agent, who will
furnish you, free of charge, a small book con-
tanning besides other valuable information, a
large list of certificates from many of the
most respectable persons. of cures effected by
this celebrated medicine, which surely are
enough to convince the most skeptical of its
transcendent virtues We notice several GER
tificates of rheumatism cured after the pa
tient had suffered everything but death for
five to twenty years Also, cures of paraly-
sis, or loss of use of limb, where the flesh had
withered, leaving nothing apparently but
dried skin and bone, presenting so horrid
spectacle that their friends looked upon them
APPALLED, while physicians pronounced them
BEYOND ANY HUMAN EFFORT to relieve.
1t is the most efficacious remedy known for
burns, sprains wounds, bruises, chilblains,
neuralgia, toothache, bites of insects and rep
tiles, sore or weak eyes, tumors, sun pain, etc,
etc; and it is used with unbounded success in
most of the ailments of horses and cattle,
such as sweeny, farcy, sprains, bruises, wounds,
stiff neck and joints, laneness, swellings, gals
or chafes sore eyes, partial blindness ETC.
If used in the beginning of fistula, poll-evil,
ringbone and spawn. it will invariably stop
their further progress. Every family should
keep this valuable medicine on hand, ready
for any emergency.

BopY SNATCHING EXTRAORDINARILY
Eirin Palladium of the lSth ult, has the fol-
loving account of some eYents which tran
spired at Napierville, Ill.,, after execution
there of Patrick Doyle, on the 18th: After
his execution, "a most disgraeeful scene took
place between certain physicians and others
relative to the body of the murderer. After
the execution his body was delivered to the
sexton, under his solemn and repeated agree
ment to bury it properly. He proceeded with
a physician and his student TO the burying
ground where grave had been previously
dug, and lowered the coffin into it and then
pretended to have some business off at dis
lance from the grave. While he was gone,
the others unscrewed the coffin, took out the
BODY, and it being thought unsafe to move it
in the day time, they hid il in the corner of
the fence, and went away, and the sexton
buried the empty coffin. During this trans
action another physician and some Others
were watching them, and as soon as the first
set of hyenas left, they stole the body from
the place where the first set of thieves had
put it, and hid it again in the woods. The
first party coming back, and finding their
body gone, very naturally concluded that the
body was in the woods near by, and laid in
watch. As soon as it was dark, as was an
ticipated, the second gang come with their
wagon to take the body away. 1t is said that
knives and pistols were drawn, and threats
made, but they did not go so far as to use
them, and the disgraceiul row was ended by
the first party buying the pretended right of
the other and took the body to Napiervile.
About Il o'clock the same night another set
of medical marauders from Chicago entered
the graveyard and opened the grave but
finding nothing but an empty coffin, they
were saved the nfamy of robbng it.

THE AGES OF THE PATRIARcHs.-Some
have not hesitated TO ascribe TO our forefather
Adam the height of nine hundred yards and
the age of almost n thousand years. But the
accurate and rational investigation of modern
philosophy has converted the supposed bones
OF giants, found in different parts of the earth,
into those of the elephant and rhinoceros, and
acute theologists have shown that the chro-
nolOgy of the early ages was not the same rs
that used ut present Some, particularly
Hensler, have proved with the highest pro-
liability, that the year, till the time of Abra-
ham, consisted only of three months; that it
was not till the time of Joseph that it was
made to consist of twelve, These assertions
are, in certain degree, confirmed by some of
the Eastern nations, who will reckon only
three months to year, and besides it would
be altogether inexplicable why the life of man
should have been shortened one-half immed-
ately after the flood. 1t would be equally
inexplicable why the patriarchs did not marry
till their sixtieth, SEVENTEEN, and even hun
dredth year; but this difficulty vanishes when
we reckon these ages according to the before
mentioned standard, which will give the Goth
or thirtieth year; and consequently ut the
same periods at which people marry at pres
emit The whole theory according to this
explanation, assumes n different appearance.
The sixteen hundred years before the Hood
will become four hundred and fourteen, and
nine hundred years, the highest recorded,
which Mathuselah lived, will be reduced to
two hundred-an age which is not impossible,
and to which some men in modern times have
nearly pproached.-Dr. Van Orden.
