which reutrazes this malarious poison in the
blood, and stimulates the liver cxpel it from the
body. As it should, so it docs cure this affecting
disorder with perfect certainty. And IL does more,
rather docs what is Of service TO those sub
jecl to this Infection IL taken in season it expols
it from the system it is absorbed, and thus keeps
those who use it free from its attacks; keeps the
system in health although exposed to the dscose
Consequently it not only cures, but protects from,
by this malignant influence, such as Rcmittent
Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious
Fevcrs Neuralgia, Rheumatism, GOut, blindness,
TOOthachc, EaraChc, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpita-
tionS, Painful Affections of the Spleen, Mysteries,
Collie, Paralysis. aud Painful Affections of the
Stomach aud Bowels, all OF which, when arising
from this cause, will be found to assume more
less the intermittent type. This AGUB CURE"
removes the cause Of these arrangements, and cures
the disease.
This il accomplishes by stimulating the excre-
tories to eNpcl the virus from the system and
these organs by degrees become habitcd to do this
their Office of their own accord. Hence arises what
we term dcrliD,atatiOri. Time may accomplish the
same end, but often life is not long enough, or is
sacrificed in the attempt. while this " AGUE CURB"
does it at once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this is a well as safer
remedy for the whole class Of diseases which are
caused by the miasinatic infection, than any other
which has been discovered and it has still another
important advantage to the public, which is, that
it is chelp as well as good.

Last of tina Harper's Ferry Prisoners.
CHARLEsToWN. Dec. l6

CHARLEsTowN, Dec l6.
We have had an exciting time during the
past twenty-four hours, which has Just closed
with the execution of the four prisoners.
Throughout the day yesterday there was
a great influx of strangers and citizens oI
the country who were aocking to witness
the last act of the Harper's Ferry tragedy
The latter came thus carly experimenting
that they might be detained at the outposts,
as was the case the day Of Browns execu,
tion.
The vigilance exercised at the railroad
depot on the arrival of a train was not so
stringent as on the occasion of the execution
OF Brown, aud but little difficulty was ex-
perienced in getting into the town.
Shortly after the arrival of the train in
the afternoon, a grand military dress parade
Of all the companies in attendance took
place. The troops went through their rev.
olutions were reviewed by Gen. Taliafer-
ro, in full dress, and mounted.
The prisoners were visited yesterday af-
ternoon by the Rev. Messrs. Nassau, Dutton
and North of the Presbyterian Church, and
Rev. Beverly Waugh Of the Methodists
Church.
The services in the cells were of an inter-
esting and solemn character, and were par
ticipated in by all the condemned, though
it is now evident from subsequent events
that Cook and Coppic at least we're playing
possum, as their minds must have been fixed
on hopes of life and liberty rather than
death and eternity, at the time they were
making outward protestations of resignation.
They all gave an unqualified assent to the
conviction of religious truth, and each ex-
pressed hope OF salvation in the world to
come.
Coppic and Cook were the loudest in their
professions of change of heart and in the
hope of divine forgiveness they freely ad-
mitted their guilt and acknowledged their
doom as a just one, and that in the main
they have been treated with the utmost
kindness by all, though they thought that
some of the Witnesses were rather harsh in
their testimony.
The ministers imagined that they had dis
covered decidedly favorable change in the
condition of Cooks mind since his interview
with his sisters. Up to that time his calm
ness and bravery were regarded as proceed

Tom ROol,et--The angllsh Hlghwayman
Fron Once a Week.

Tom Rocket was a highwayman. No
one ever christened him Tom, and his fa-
theirs name was not Rocket When he
was tried for his life in Warwick asszes,
he was arraigned as Charles jackson, and
they we're particular about names them
If you indicted a man as Jim, aud his true
name was Joe, he got off and when the
law was altered, SO that they could get such
errors right at the trial, people, eastways
lawyers, thought the British constitution
was being pulled up root branch But
that's neither here nor there. cannot
tell how il was that be came to be known
as Tom Rocket, and if could, it would
not hsVe anything TO do with my story
For SIX years he was the famous chief in
the Midland counties, and for six years no
one knew what he was like. He was la
zy fellow, was Tom he never came out
except when there was good prize to be
picked up, and he had bis scouts and his
spies all over the place, to give him inlor-
