XoUovays PiNs-Gronic Despel

Hollo,oays PiUs-CAronic Despep-
sia Cured.-Among the triumphs of this won
derFul medicine over confirmed diseases of the
stomach and epigastrium, the following is not
tho least remarkable. Edward Stillman aged
81, reaidng at Hagerstown, Md, had been for
eleven years sufferer from indigestion end its
painful concomitants. His appetite was irregu-
lar, his frame cmacinted, his skin of a livid un-
healthy hue, and he had a constant feeling of
construction at the pit Of the stomach as ir a cord
were being drawn tightly around it. lie was
continually in a state Of great mental as well az
bodily distress, and to use his own expression,
''life had become irksome to him.n In the
mouth Of December last he commenced taking
iiolloway's Pills. Within three weeks thereaf.
ter all the above SYMPTOMS had vanished. No
relapse has since occurred, and no is now as 70
bust and active as any man OF his years in all
Maryland. For disorders Of the stomach, live,
and bowels, the Pills are the only reliable rom.
edy in existance.

Few are aware how frequently Pub.

they can neither sanction or believe,
A pleasant exception to this disagree.

OF Dr. j. G. Ayers Cherry Pectoral

so doing we in no wise lend ourselves
to deceive or mislead the public. for we

The Influence or the Hard Times up
on our Foreign Exports.

1t would seem, from the official re.
ports, that the monetary pressure has
affected our exports out of the country
quite as severely as the imports into It.
Last year, up to the last of November,
the value of our exports from New
York to foreign countries reached for
ty-five millions of dollars. This year it
is only twenty three millions of dollars
"a falling off of one-half. This deficit
is not caused by the cotton crop, but
by the falling off in -four, wheat, corn
and pork. Wheat and flour have fall
len off from twenty-five millions to
nine millions, and pork from five mil
lions to nine hundred thousand. On
these articles is the main deficiency
This immense reduction of the demand
for the foreign market will throw it up
pom that of the home, and will have a
tendency to still further reduce the
prices.

Deficiency in the State Treasury

The ChailottesvilleJ effersonian learns
by miscalcularion Of the Auditor, there
will be deficit in the State Treasury
of 100000. In estimating the wants
in the State, he omitted, 100000 for
the James River and Kanawha Com.
Pany. which the State is guaranteed to
pey, and also omitted tn make provis-
ion for the sinking fund. He estima-
ted the amount on hand at the end of
the present year to DO 100000, when
it is only $4,000.
This is bad time. says the Rich

takes. when The banks have all Suspend

hard to be obtained, even from the be st
