Aver's CherrY PectoraI.

For the rapid cure OF Coughs, Colds,
Hoarseness, Bronchitis, Whooping- Cough,
Asthma and Consumption, is universally
known as the best remedy ever yet discov
cred for every variety of Pulmonary disease.
So wide is the field Of its usefulness and
so numerous the cases of its cures, that
almost every section ofthe country abounds
in persons publicly known, who have been
restored from alarming and even desperate
diseases of the lungs by its use. When
once tried it's superiority over every other
medicine of its kind is too apparent to es-
cape observation, and where its virtues
are known, the public no longer hesitate
what antidote to employ for the distressing
and dangerous affections of the pulmonary
organs which are incident to our climate.
BY its timely use many, nay almost all
attacks of disease upon the Lungs or throat
are arrested and thus are saved many
thousands every year from premature
grave. No family should be without it,
and those who do neglect to provide them
selves with remedy which wards off this
dangerous class of diseases will have cause
to deplore it when it is too late. Proofs
OF the surprising efficacy of the Cherry
Pectoral need not be given to the Ameri-
can peOple-they have living proofs in
every neighborhood. But those who wish
to read the statements of those whose
whole health has been restored and whose
lives have been saved by its use, will find
them in my American Almanac which the
agent below named has to furnish gratis,
for every one.

Gray learned his lessons of Democracy in

tegrity and independence, to express its abhor-

he then imbibed to his present locality. The

Judge Doug glas, at Pontiac, ou Thursday of

ability on the side of Right. This is most
emphatically, period when the Garment and
ardent efforts of ALL, are required to insure

DlED.-On the morning OF the Goth inst,
Mrs. OATHARINE HANNA, wife of Mr..
THOMPSON HANNA, of this city, after
painful illness of many weeks, in the 56Lh
year of her age
Mrs. HANNA, in early life, made pro-
fesSion Of the Christian religion, and united
with the Methodist Church. At an early
period, with her husband, she was identi-
fed with the NJ. P. Church of this city,
and remained faithful member of its COM
munion to the time of her death.
Panegyrics on the departed are not in
good taste; but, to speak of the good quail
tiles of our friends who have gone to the
spirit land, and to urge the emulation Of
their virtuous acts, is by no means improp-
er. Never have we had the pleasure of an
acquaintance with lady, whose life and
whole department, appeared to be more
fully conformed to the pure principles of
the Gospel than that of Mrs. HAMA
Whether we think of her in the light of
Wite,a Mother, a Christian or neighbor !;
her entire life and conduct was worthy of
the emulation of all. She bore her last
painful illness with that Christian fortitude
which had characterized her former life +;
and calmly passed away from earth, to that
rest which "remaineth for the people of
God" While her bereaved husband, chill
dren and numerous friends are left to mourn
the departure of one SO dear to them it is
a consoling reflection, that they "sorrow
not as those who have no hope" BY the
imitation of her pious example they may,
through the merits Of Him, in whom
she trusted, secure, with her, part in the
First Resurrection and be forever with
the Lord. Our sincere sympathies are
with the bereaved family.
