the sick headache, which has been recentlyofered
the public attracting great attention, not only
by reason 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 are al
ficted with the distressing complaint, Tor which
no medicine has before been made pubic Dr.
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy Of his rem

prove TO be great benefit To all who may give II

establishment Of Mr.. Evan Hughes, merchant
tailor corner Of Pennsylvania avenue and Thr-

goods, 10 the amount ofabout two thousand dollars
in value. The rogues first cut hole in the door,
through which opening the hand was inserted 10

daring act, probably performed by persons whose
