magnitude of such al undeaking as the hemanufac-
ture of Purgatiyc Pill aumes when it comes
into general use? And wv painfully do the
following numbers speak the amount Of hu-

this case, one of the firsnteligence, and of
the highest character. occupation entails
upon him fearful respopility for the veal or
woe of his fellow man.-insville Courier.

put on the trail of q fox run for lew hours. h
The other was left to ei his leisure at home. n
At the same time, both killed and opened. G
The food of the one tbtaid ut home was a
nearly all digested-thf the one that had II
been exercised violentlHhe chase, only par i
