HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT,
Circular TO the Sick

The first hospital surgeons and medical publ
cists of Europe admit the unparalleled anti inflam
matory and healing properties of this Ointment ;
governments sanction les use in their naval and
military services; and the masses in this country
an throughout the world repose the utmost con
hdence in its curative properties. 1t penetrates
the sources of infammat ton and corruption which
underie the external evidences of disease, and
neutraize the fiery elements which feed and exas-
perate the maady.
Rheumatism, scrOfuIa, Erysipelas.
THESE are among the most terrible and agoni-
zing diseases of the les, the 1eshy fibre an d
the skins yet in their worst forms, and when
seemingly incurable, they invariably disappear un :.
deraa persevering application of this soothing
healing, antidote to pain and inflammation.
Salt Rheum, Fever sores, stiff Joints.
In cases of Salt Rheum, where medical waters
lotions. and every recipe Of the pharmacopoea have
proved useless, the Ointment will accomplish
thorough cure. Fever Sores heal quickly under
its influence and its relaxing effect upon eontrac-
ted sinews is truly wonderful

The Spiritual Hand.
I" Come. let me clutch thee y


Mr. Willis, student of divinity in Harvard
University, has, for a year or two past, been
figuring as fourth-pioof spiritual medium in
Cambridge, Boston, Salem, and various other
places in Massachusetts. His reputation was
so excellent as to induce Professor Ensts, of
the Lawrence Scientific School, and other gen.
tlemen connected with the University, to attend
one of his private circles in Boston, last week.
Solelmuly formed itself around the table the
circle of converts mpressible ladies', incredu-
lous professors and medium Willis For time
everything went on successfully. The table was
moved the raps were distinctly given, and some
remarkable disclosure Of fact and doctne made.
But few Of the company were not quite satis-
fed, and Mr.. Willis was anxious 10 astonish
the learned professors with higher proof of
his powers.
The lights were extinguished and the circle
waited sin solemn silence ALL" Presently Miss
A. who is a bit of convert TO the new faith,
was sure that spiritual hand had touched hers
then Miss B, felt the ghostIy fingers, Slowly
the spiritual hand stole around the circle, until
it reached Professor Eustis A touch had suf-
fiiced the others, but he was anxious 10 make
the, strangers better acquaintance. With true
Yankee heartiness he shook the spiritual hand;
with true Yankee warmth he kept shaking it,
graspin2 the shadowy flesh more and more tighL-
w. The fingers struggled to free themselves, but
The Professor held on till the lights were lit, and
, he saw himself clutching Mr.. Wills's naked
foot Miss A. went into spiritual Mysteries,
and the circle broke up in confusion.
This story has s-come 10 us through spiritual
hands" II it is true it would seem to furnish
the faculty with an ample excuse for suspendlng
the divinity student from his connection with
tho University.

The Far mer's Daughter.

few years since farmer, living near East
on, Pennsylvania, sent his daughter on horse
back to that town to procure from the bank
small notes for one hundred dullars, w hen
she arrived there the bank was closed : and she
endeavoTed to effect her object by offering it at
several stores, but could not get her note
changed. She had not gone far on her return,
when stranger rode up to her and accosted her
with so much politeness, that she had not the
slightest suspicion of any evil intention on his
part After ride of mile or two employed
in very social conversation, they came TO a re-
tired part of the road, and then commanded her
to give him the bank note.
1t was with some difficulty that she could be
made to believe him in earnest, as his demean-
or had been so friendly; but the presenla ton of
pistol placed that matter beyond doubt and
she yielded to necessity. Just as she he ID the
note 10 him sudden puff of wind blew the
note Into the road, and carried it gently several
yards from them. The discourleous night al.
lighted to overtake it, and the lady whipped her
horse TO get out of his power and the other
horse, Which had been left standing by her side
started with her. His owner fired pistol after
her, which only tended to increase the speed o
all parties, and the young lady arrived safe a
home with the horse of the robber, on which
was pair of saddle.bags When these were
opened, besides quantity of counterfeit banl
notes, fifteen hundred dollars in good money
was found. The horse was good one, AM
when saddled and bridled, was thought to b,
worth at least as much as the bank note tina
was stolen.
