MODERN

We know of no invention of modern times that do
serves or is destined to occupy a higher niche in the
temple of fame, than the discovery or invention ofthe
Vegetable Epiletic Pills for curing Epilepsy, or Fall
ing Fits; Spasms, Cramps, and all the various modi-
fcations of Nervous Disease. DIR. Seth S. Hance, of
1O9 Baltimore street, Baltimore, Md, the inventor, is
certainly entitled to the best wishes of all the benevo-
lent portion of mankind, who experience a pleasure
by the alienation of human suffering. When DR..
Hance first prepared these Pills, he intended them
solely for Fits, Cramps and Spasms; but subsequent
ton to their remarkable sentative properties in this
class of diseases, they exert q perfect control over
the entire nervous system. He was then induced to
vous Headache, Palpitation of the Heart, Incipient
Paralysis, Hysteria, Muscular Debility, and a host of
minor diseases, springing from a lack of nervous en-
ergy, in all OF which his anticipations were crowned
with the mos ~sanguine success. Persons at a dis
lance, by writing and sending a remittance to DIR.
Hance, can n ave the medicine forwarded by mail TO
their post Office address, he paying the postage. The
prices are for a single box, So, two boxes, So or S24
per dozen. We have given his address above. 4w35

q A very singular and painful shooting
case transpired last Monday morning, in New
York, a man having shot his own servant girl
through installing her for a burglar. 1t APP
pears that Mr.. Barnard, a pawnbrokcri in Third
avenue, heard at five O'Clock a noise, which he
interpreted as proceeding from burglars, but
which was caused by the servant girl raking
out the CRATE preparatory to making a fire, in
the room underneath where heslept, and which
contained the safe in which were deposited
gold watches, jewelry, and other valuable prop
erty left in pledge. Securing a revolver he
raised up a window, and seeing, as he supposed,
a burglar in the act of escaping out of. the
window underneath, fired. The ball took effect
in the neck of his servant girl, who had pro-
truded her head out of the window to fasten
the blinds back. Her injuries are believed to
be mortal, although she was alive last Monday
evening.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

Dr.. RoBAcK's GREAT MEDICAL Discover
Es.-Dr Roback's Scandinavian Remedies
ar overturning all the old theories of medi-
cine. They reach the blood through the diges-
tive organs with a quickness, certainty and cur
alive effect almost miraculous. The herbs of
which they are made are from the mountains
of Sweden, and this combination of vegetable
elements is superseding all the mineral medi-
cines. Dyspepsia, coughs, bronchitis, bilious
complaints, fits, nervous affections, Mysteries,
s~crofula, skin diseases, rheumatism, headache,
pains in the back, sexual debility, etc. are re-
lieved with wonderful r%apidity, and there is no
malady originating in a morbid condition of
the blood or other fluids of the body, that does
not yield to the Scandinavian Remedies. See

THE ASHLAND UNION, WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY q 1859.

pea- A Company of young men, their minds
filed with accounts of the rich silver mines of
Arizona, left Columbus to dig virgin ore, and
to make their fortunes. But ere this they
have found that toll and trouble, and perhaps
bloodshed and death, are in their way. The
following, from the Columbus Gazette, tells
the sad tale of their disappointment:
Our arizona Boys:-Worse luck than we
even anticipated, have overtaken our Arizona
boys, who left here last June, to try the reali-
ties of a romantic silver mining expedition
From letters, dated Apache Pass, Arizona, De-
cember goth, we learn that the party had just
met with a band of 300 Indian warriors, bound
for Sonora on a stealing expedition that all
supplies had been cut off between Sonora and
Arizona by the Mexican Government THAT the
boys considered themselves in a pretty tight
place, and were making their calculations to
subsist upon mule meat, and that they had been
digging holes in the ground in which to make
their fires and for protection from the cold
winter winds.
From a postscript hastily written on the
22d, we learn that four of their Mexican driv-
ers had run off the night before, stealing 10 of
the best horses and mules, with saddles, brides,
provisions, &C., taking the trail towards Sonora,
some of the boys were out upon the hope
chase IN pursuit of them. This leaves
them in a very bad situation, for they have
neither animals or provisions to sustain them
in their long 100 mile journey yet to Tubac.
Their dreams about silver in the Arizona
have long since vanished, and their
only hope is to make their way to California,
if possible. When people are foolish enough
to be led away with the foolish stories of
rich mines in Arizona, Sonora, Pixies Peak,
&c., and choose to leave Ohio to risk their
lives in the most sterile, heaVen-forsaken
country that ever the sun shone upon, why,
is well enough for them to gain wisdom from
experience, even it should be pretty dearly
bought.

SHOCKING DEATH-The Albany IN. "
Standard reports that a shocking accident &C
cured to a little daughter of John Watson, of
Sterling, a day or two since. The parents were
absent from home, when the little girl in her
rambles about the house, found a loaded gun,
and commenced playing with it, when it dis
charged, its contents striking her in the fore
mead, scattered her brains about the room and
completely destroying the head, and, of course,
killing her instantly. A brother, about six
years of age, who was at home with her, becom-
ing so frightened at the shocking appearance
of his sister, dragged the body from the house
to the yard. The body was then tern to pieces
by hogs. Shortly after, the body was discovered
by her schoolmates, SO badlymangled and disfg-
ured as to be hardly Unidentified.

A Boy CARRIED OVER THE FALLS OF MA
CARA sad accident occurred at Niagara
Falls on Saturday last. An adopted son of
Mr.. Gibbs, foreman of the paper mills, acct
dentally fell into the river and was carried over
the American Fall. We understand that the
lad was on the ice, near the mills, where men
had been running the drift-ice from the fume,
and accidentally fell into the swift stream. He
WIS not 5eon to fall, but was seeH some distance
down the river, in the rapids, when beyond
the reach of human aid, and speedily passed
over, of course to rise no more alive. The
child was twelve years old, and a lad of much
promise, beloved by his adopted parents and
all who knew him. The calamity caused
much sensation at the village where it occur

THE MoRTARA Casa correspondent,
speaking of the boy Martara, says: AS the for
eign journals are speaking of young Mortara,
L will initiate their example. He entered the
school of the regular prebends of st. John of
Lateran three weeks since. He appears happy,
and expresses no desire to return home. The
Pope pays for his education out of his private
purse. On Christmas day, the Pope sent young
Mortara a basket of sweetmeats. The next
day the boy aske leaved to thank the Pope, and
he was permitted to do SO. The Holy Father
received him most kindly.

DR.. G. NJ. JAcMsoN. DAAR SIR Restored to
health, as have been, under God, by theu of your
invaluable "Hoofand's German Bitters," 1 feel that
l owe you this public acknowledgment
About the year 1888, while residing in the city of
Baltimore, l was attacked with Inflammation of the
bowels. For some time l paid but little attention to
it, s%upposing it would soon pass off. But the disease
grew worse, and l became. seriously alarmed at it's
progress. l now had recourse to medical advice,
but Without any marked effect. / rapidly lost flesh,
and became emeciated TO such q degree as to attract
the attention of all with whom l came in contact
| cannot attempt to describe the feeling of utter
helplessness that almost p~aralyzed my efforts for ff-
teen years. AT length, wearied of life, but still will
ing, for the sake of my family, TO make another eff
fort, l yielded to the advice of my friends, and, as an
experiment, bought a bottle of your Bitters. To my
delighted surprise, 1 felt a change for the better,
before had taken half the bottle. 1 continued its
use, and purchased a second bottle, which effected a
PERFECT CURE. Five years have passed away,
and l have experienced no recurrence of the disease.
l am now a resident of this city, and am willing to
give to all similarly afflicted q statement of my case.
Very truly vours.
