The book is what it purports to be, ladies'

A YOUNG WomAR SPLITS VisITERs Heal
WITH AN AxE.-It has been slated that a
young man, named Sparks, was murdered
in Newcastle, Botetourt county, Va, on the
18th instant, by a woman, named Polly
Tucker A correspondent of the Salem
Register says
'Young Sparks, who was partially intoxi.
Gated, went TO the house of Miss Polly
Tucker, anc Knocked al the door, desiring
admittance, whichswas refused. He then
went TO the window and raised the sash
and put his head through, and in good
humored way threatened TO enter the no onse
in that way. Miss Tucker, it seems, had
an axe in her hand, and, threatened to
strike him with it. He laughingy told her
TO strike away, which she did, with fatal
effect striking him with the poll OF the axe
Immediately on the Top of the head, infflicl-
ing mortal wound. He lived about six
hours, and died apparently without much
pain. He did not speak after the blow was
given. 1t was one of the most deliberate
and cold-blooded murders ever perpetrated
The murderess has since asserted that she
had the axe ready for two weeks, for that
purpose, and that she committed the muir
der cody and deliberately. 1t has created
an intense excitement in this community
He was the only child of his mother, who
is utterly prostraied in consequence OF the
murder OF her son, and it is believed she
cannot long survive the awful deed"

Timely Advice.

The editor of The Medical Rsformer remarks
that as in the spring and early summer, the
sensibili,ies of the digestive organs are in.
creased, the full diet of winter will, if per-
sisted in, inddce fever. This is by no means
new discovery. The ancients named the
month of February, when their spring be.
gan, from tebrum lever, and wisely recom-
mended, as preparaive for the heats of
summer, judicious exercise, light diet, and
the full and free use OF water.
Professor Holloway, the distinguished
English practitioner, has done something
more than this. lie has discovered and i'll
troduced two remedies for all the deranpe.
ments incident TO change of temperature,
which have saved the lives of thousands OF
unacclimated travellers and sojourr ers in
every region between the equator and the
poles. When a sudden transition from cold
to heat produces dyspepsia, liver com plaint,
fever, diarrhea or dysentery, Holloway's
Pills seem 10 subdue the disturbance in The
system at once, and 10 bring all its functions
into hermony with the new atmospheric IN. l..
auences by which il is surrounded. Where
the shock occasloned by the change affects
the skin or glands the Ointment, in combi-
nation with the Pills, soon puts the exter-
nal organization into healthy condition.
Under these circumstances, common pru.
dence suggests the proprie,y of having both
rp naftia al- at han h.
nent of the summer, and of providing a
supply of them before starting on journey
or voyage. In this climate, summer and
autumn are, unquestionably, the seasons
most preiuticial 10 health, and therefore
nothing should be left undone that will have
the effect of fortifying and bracing up the
system, purifying blood, and putting the di
gestive apparatus in good working order
So far as our observation goes, HoLLowAy's
Pills will infallibly secure these results
Families who have habitually used them for
years as Spring. Summer and Fall medl.
cine, declare that complete exemption
from the complaints usual at those seasons
has been the invariable consequence of their
exhibition. This we can readily believe,
knowing as we do, that they exercise triple
influence upon the internal organs. They
purify the fluids, remove distractions, and
invigorate the digestive powers There are
few system so healthy as not 10 require such
helps TO Nature at this critical period of the
year, and it is therefore obvious that course
OF HoLLwAY's Pills is proper, as protec.
tive measure.-B Boston Journal
