IL Sick Headache Rcredy.-A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently offered
to the public, is attracting great attention. not only
by of the very satisfactory testimonials 10
lis efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by il, but also because
there are so great number OF people who al.
hictcd with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. Or.
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy of his "ren-
edy" is physician in this city, in high standing,
with large practice. He is a physician in whom
great confidence is placed; and we do not wonder
that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been so long needed, has atractedth attention
ofall sufferers from headache who have heard of il.
From our own knowledge of DR.. Eastman's char
acier and practice, we have no doubt that the med
icne deserves the favor il receives, and that il will
prove 10 be a great benefit TO all who may give il
a trial.-Lynn Neps, DeoeDi5er %, 1888.

ACCIDENT ON THE CAMDEN AND AMBoY RAIL
RoAD.-Yesterday afternoon, at half past four
O'clock an accident occurred at the "two
mile turn out" two miles from South Amboy,
by which colored man, thirty or thirty FIVE
years Of age, was probably fatally injured.
The unfortunate man was a passenger in an
emigrant train, which had started for Philadel-
phia and turned off upon a side track to wait
for the express train for New York, due about
that time. A number Of the passengers in the
emigrant train left the cars and went into a
neighboring thicket to gather huckleberries.
Among these persons was the man in question.
Seeing the up train approaching, and probably
fearing he might be left, he ran towards the
cars and endavored to Jump across the main
track Just as the express train came up. He
was struck by the cow-catcher and thrown with
great violence about twenty feet from the track,
where he was picked up senseless moment
afterwards.
The conductor Of the train, Mr.. A. J. Cooler,
Immediately halted, and physician, who was
on board, examined the wounded man. A
large hole had been cut in the side of his head,
and he had sustained such other serious inju-
ries that the physician pronounced bis recovery
impossible. He was then taken to Amboy,
two miles distant No blame whatever can be
attached 10 the conductor or engineer Of the
express train, as il was impossible to forcsee,
or in time guard against so unexpected a
calamity. The engineer was one of the most
careful and reliable upon the road, as was the
conductor also. II is a singular coincidence,
that this accident happened on the anniversary
Of the disastrous collision, which occurred Just
one year ago yesterday, on the same road, and
only five or six miles from the spot which was
the scene Of yesterdays calamity.

FROM CosTA RICA.-We have dates from
Costa Rica to the 9th instant; the news is not
important. The country is quiet. Coffee is
scarce and provisions Of all kinds high.
Communication with the United States has
Of late been almost prohibited, owing to diff
culties in Nicaragua, which prevents regular
transit of the mails.
There were two American vessels in Punta
Arenas, barque and brig, both from San
Francisco names unknown. The barqne had
lost her mizenmast and put in for repairs; the
brig was loading coffee for San Francisco, but
could not procure full cargo.
Business was very dull.
The little steamship fitted out in San Fran
cisco some time since, to run on the Rio
Grande, had reached Punta Arenas in safety,
after twenty-seven days passage. She had
proceeded about six miles up the river, where
she got stuck for want of water, and still re.
NAMED at last accounts. II is thought she is
too large for the trade, and will in future be
employed merely to tow vessels and lighters
across the bar.
The latest intelligence from Nicaragua an
nounces that the war was still raging in that
country, and the whole State was in the greatest
anarchy, confusion and distress.
The new president, or selfappointed dictator,
Chamorrow, it is reported, was shut up in the
city Of Grenada, with small body Of soldiers.
He was losing ground every day, and it was
thought, would very soon be obliged to resign
his position and submit to the will Of his oppo-
nents. Several Americans, it is said, are mixed
up in the revolution.
