REV. JOHS LANAHAS suffered long tried
the most eminent physicians; had his throat
cauterized; became unable to preach-no-
thing but strong desire to induce the thou
sands who are dying from the same fatal
disease of which he has been relieved, indu-
ces him thus publicly to speak out. We say
to the afflicted with Dyspepsia, Cough, Rheu-
matism, Scrofula, &C., try this HAMPTON'S
TINCTCRE; the weight of testimony makes
it criminal to defer. You owe it to yourself,
family and friends to make the trial-for
all femaie diseases, and for delicate children,
it is sovereign remedy.

AN UNFORTUNATE FAMILY.-The York pa

Frederick Laucks. an old and respectable resi-
dent Of Windsor township in that county, and
then adds:
Mr.. Laucks was a member of family which
has been remarkably unfortunate for that spe-
cies of mania which ends in suicide. Nearly
halfa century ago his father committed suicide
by poison. Since that time his brother aud that
brothers son have hung themselves; and few
years ago his own son drowned himself. The
jacob Laucls who shot Mr. Henry Ilgenfrtz of
this place, couple of years ago, and is now in
the State Luna,c Asylum, was nephew of the
Mr.. Laucks whose melancholy death we now re-
cord. lie was-what few men have been--the
son, grandson, brother, nephew and cousin of su.
cides All these unfortunate men-father, sons
and grandsons--were, we believe, sober, honest

letter he says
"On the Cd of May, my valued friend, We ul-

sister is a nun, and where they now repose in he

offer me, reserving for me place by their side.
In this sad act, my four children, the mother of
the dear deceased, and her brother, Capt Sontag,
accompanied me. did not wish my numerous
friends to attend as they desired. believing that
the grief of her family would appear to her more
agreeable homage than the pomp of vain demon
stration. Our tears and prayers followed
her to tho grave, and her memory will be for
ever treasured in our hearts. Rsquiescat in
