III Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently offered
to.the public is attracting great attention, NOT only
by reason of the very satisfactory testimonials TO
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by it, but also because
there are so great a number Of people who are af-
hicted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DIR.
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy of his ''rem-
edy," is physician in this city, in high standing,
with large practice. He is 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 attractedthe attention
of all sufferers from headache who have heard of it.
From our own knowledge Of Dr. Eastman's char
acter and practice, we have no doubt that the med
icine deserves the favor il receives, and that it will
prove TO be great benefit TO all who may give il

Criminal Court.-Yesterday, a black boy, be-

trial, charged with incendarism.
II appeared, as we were informed by gentle.
man who was present during the examination,
that the lad lived with man named Michael
Green, in the northern part OF the city and while
he confined in. the front cellar Of the store
kept by his employer, the premises were dis.
covered to be on fire. A prompt application OF
water suppressed the flames before they had
effected much damage. The negro nearly
suffocated by the smoke, and had one of his feet
severely burned.
The suspicion was that he had applied the
match, either out Of revenge for being confined
in the cellar, or with a view TO procure his lib.
ery. The dangerous mode adopted for that pur.
pose is only to be accounted for on the score oil
childish ignorance
The jury, without leaving their seats, rendered
verdict Of not guilty.
