So wide is the field Of its usefulness and 20 nu-

every section of country abounds in persons pub
Ecly known, who hare been restored from alarming
and even desperate diseases Of the lungs by its
use. When once tried, its superiority over every

observation, and where its virtues are known, the
public no longer hesitate what antdote to employ
ior the distressing and dangerous affections Of the
pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the

\ Headache, nnd Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the whole class Of diseases origi.

by the Malaria Of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the
necessities Of the American people than sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled to offer, with q perfect
certainty that it will eradicate the disease.
and with assurance. founded on proof, that
no harm can arise from its use in any quan-
tity.
= That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be Of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Prerentioa is
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks of
this baleful distemper. This "CuRE" expels
the miasmatic poison Of FEVER AND AGur
from the system and prevents the develop
ment of the disease. if taken on the first ap-
proach Of its pIemonitory symptoms. 1t il
not only the best remedy ever vet discovered
for this class Of complaints, but also the
cheapest. The large quantity we supply for
a dollar brings il within the reach of every
body; and in bilious districts, where FEVER
AND AouE prevails, every body should have it
and use it freely both for cuse and protection.
1t is hoped this price viii place it within tho
reach Of all-the poor as well as the rich. 4
great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and GER
tain cure of In;ermittents Is, that it contains
no Quininc or mineral consequently it Pro-
duces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as if they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence
of the miasmatic poison. a great variety Of
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, rheumatism, Gout, Headache,
Blindness. Toothache. Earache Catarrh, Asth-
ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection Of tho
Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie,
Paralysis, and Derangement Of the Stomach.

residing in the malarious districts. If taken
occasionally or daily while exposed to the in
lection, that will be excretcd from the system,
end cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
to ripen into disease. Hence it is even more
valuable for protection than cure, and few will
ever suffer from Intermittents, il they avail

The Lawrence Catastrophe-VerdIct of
the COrOner's Jury

LAWRENCE, Mass, Feb. 3.-The Jury of
Inquest of the Pemberton Mill calamity
rendered their verdict last evening. 1t is
quite lengthy, embracing careful review of
the testimony.
The Jury find that from all the evidence
adduced before them, they do not believe that
the owners of said mill, at the time of the
demolition, ever had reason to distrust its
security.
The Jury further find that the fire origin.
ated after the fall of the said mill was
caused by the accidental breaking of lam
tern in the hands of some person to them
unknown, and at the time actually engaged
in aiding and assisting in rescuing the suf-
ferers then alive and beneath the flooring of
the mill upon all of which several findings
the Jury determine and say that the direct
cause of the fall of the mill was the weakness
and insuficiency of the cast iron sheeting,
the thinness of the brick walls, and the
manner of construction.
The length of span from one support to
another beneath the floor timber, were ad-
ditional causes, and aided in the general
demolition of the building, and that so far
as the actual defects in the cast iron pillars
existed, responsibility rested upon Albert
Fuller, the former contracting agent and
foreman of the Eagle Iron boundary, then
at West Boston.
That upon @. L. Bigelow, the architect,
as we'll as the superintendent of this struc.
ture, rests all the responsibility, arising from
an insufficient test of said pillars and from
any aud every direct weakness from inse-
curity in or about the general construction
of said building. That the walls were built
under his supervision. That the timbers
and flooring were in every respect construct
ed as he originally designed. The inner sup
ports of cast iron previous to erection, had
bis approval, and wereby him adopted as in
all parts safe and secure. That such in.
spection as he required was given to the
iron pillars, and that any want of skill in
designing, any error of judgment in approx
ing and adopting, and any want Of due
care and caution in properly testing the
different parts of the struc ture on his part
appearing to that extent rendered him re-
sponsible for the direful catastrophe, in.
volving, the death of these 122 human beings.

Mr.. PENNINGTON, upon his election, was
conducted to the Speakers Chair, by
Messrs. BoCoCK and SHERMAN. Amid
quiet that strangely contrasted with the pre-
vious excitement, Mr.. P. made the following
graceful speech
Gentlemen ofthe House of Representatives:
return you my grateful acknowledgements
tor the distinguished honor you have been
pleased to confer upon me, ia electng me
Speaker of this House. Coming here for
the first time, at the present, to be associated
with you as member, no event could have
been more unlocked for than that 1 should
be called upon to preside over your dellber-
atoms; and my friends will do me the jus
tice to say that I have not sought the posi-
ton, as certainly never desired it. / am
nevertheless as conscious of the dignity and
Importance of this high Office as any gentle.
man can be but should have been far better
pleased could its have been instrusted to
ADLER and more experienced hands. After
witnessing the almost insurmountable OBJ.
stacIes in the way of an organization of this
House, l came to the conclusion that
gentleman Of any party who could command
majority of the votes for Speaker, was
bound, in Difference to the public exigencies,
to accept the responsibility as an act of
patriotic duty, whether it was agreeable to
his personal feelings or not. As that choice
has unexpectedly fallen on me, have not
hesitated to accept it. In the execution of
this high trust, my object will be to do my
duty with impartiality and justice to all. /
shall have great necessity, gentlemen, for
your indulgence in the new position in which
l am placed; and 1 feel entire confidence
that l shallreceive it at your hannds. AS
a Representative from the State of New
Jersey, upon whose soil so many brilliant
achievements were accomplished in the
revolutionary war, and whose people have
ever been distinguished for their devotion to
the Constitution and the Union, pray TO
the Great Arbiter of our destinies that I
may do no act to impair the integrity OF
either, but that by wise and prudent coun.
sells, peace and order may yet reign in our
midst, and our free institutions may be per-
petuated to our descendants. feel that
have national heart, embracing all parts of
our blessed Union. Again thanking you
for your kindness, I now enter upon the
duties of that arduous and complicated sta-
tion.

Through pure Bohemian ware her deep brown

While low bent to hear a sweet, soft sound,
