NH1S wonderful Machine is remarkable for the
Il following properties which it is warranted to
Possess. 1t does not wear the clothes, and never
breaks button. 1t eleanses thoroughly the most
delicate clothing and rnses clear 1t is very SIM
pie, very strong and durable, and can hardly get
out of repair. 1t is light and portable, and when
not In use takes no more room than the common
wash tubs. A common hand can with ease and
perfect safety to the clothing, wash faster and bet
ter than four washerwomen can by hand.
This machine has been greatly improved since
lo5S. and is now perfect. 1t operates much
more easily, and weighs only between 60 and 20
pounds, all put up, and when taken down--whcll
can be done in one-fourth Of a minutes SO light
thata child l2 years OF age can move it about.
WhyaH other Machines Fail
is because they rub only the surfaces of the cloth
taking it fer granted that the clothes soied on
ly upon the surface and that the dirt .,ust be rub
BED off rs one would clean board.
Washing by Hand is Wrong,
because the rubbing of the surface of the cloth is
wholly unnecessary, and is great waste of strength
as well as great injury to the fabric.
OBSERVE that the cloth soiled is always soiled
through and through and that it cannot bc cleans
ed without being washed through and through.
Tile Reason scAy the Metropolitan Succeeds
is because it forces the water powerfully through,
the fabric. between the pestles, and the action OF
the water displaced by the FOUNDER carries the
clothes from the outside to the centre of the tub
presenting continuous fresh surface of clothes to
the action of the FOUNDER, thus washing every
portion of the clothes thoroughly and equally.
Tile Time and Labor Saved
is more than onehalf. Washings which require
all day by hand, are by this Machine generally
done in less than onehalf day. The clean
sing process is done in one-fourth the time. The
cleansing, rinsing and wringing and hanging out
taken together require less than one half the time
and person possibly rinse as well by hand
as with this Machine. Very many persons say
that the Machine is worth its cost for rinsinl
alone.
Tile Durability of this Machine.
is very great. don't see why it should not last
for ten twenty years, with only repairs of poun
der and rope, which would be very trifiing. The
whole cost of repairs upon all the several hund
red machines have sold in the last two years
taken together, don't amount to two dollars, and
many Of them have been in constant use in large
families.

HeaAaehe, and Bilioas Fevers, indeed
fef 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 q sure
md sa5s cure for Fever and Ague. Sr:h
~ are now enabled to offer. with . 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-

That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
enmmmities where it prevails. Preuessfion u
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
riSk which he must run IN violent attacks of
this baleful distemper. This "CuRs" expels
the miaHnatic poison of Fxy1R AND AouB
from the system and prevents the develop
ment of the disease, if taken ON the first ap-
proach of its premonitory symptoms. It il
not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class Of complaints, but also the
cheapest. The large quantity we supply for
. dollar brings it within the reach Of every
body; and in bilious districts, where FEVER
AND AeUE prevails. every body should have it
and use 1t freely both Tor cure and protection.
Il is hoped this price will place it within the
reach Of all-the poor as well as the rich. A
great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and GER
tain cure Of Intermittents is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral. consequently it pro-
duces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
BY it are LEFT - healthy - if they had never
had the disease.
Feva and Agueis not alone the consequence
Of the miasmatic poison. A great variety Of
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
ere Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache,
Blindness. Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth-

Two YouSo DExoNs.-On Wednesday af-
ternoon last two little fellows, whose parents
live in Elkhart, Indiana. left home to fish in
the ST. Joseph, small river at that town.
One. little Jimmy Holland. aged five years;
the other. Eddy Jordan. aged six. had fixed
themselves upon some logs near mill dam,
and had cast their lines into the water when
Two large boys. probably twelve and fifteen
years old came along and interrupted their
sport by taking from them their poles, com
pelling the little fellows TO take q back seat
and look on. Soon after this the biz boys.
because the younger ones refused to do q
scandalous act. caught them and despite their
exertions and cries for help. carried them out
on the foot log aud plunged them into the
race. The young iends stood on shore and
threw sticks and stones at their victims. and
then ran away, secreting themselves behind
hay stack. Meanwhile Eddy, who was
! nearer the shore. succeeded in getting out.
and did his utmost to rescue his little conn ads
by reaching his fish pole to him. and such
acts as suggested themselves to his mind. but
without avail. He then started home To
get assistance. but unfortunately. only little
brother and sister we're there. and nearly an
hour elapsed before the body was taken from
the water, when life was entirely extinct.

went on to Philadelphia aud traced the mat

and ascertaining that the wife of wealthy
merchant had passed it, went 10 the house
and charged her with the thet. Strange to
relate she burst into tears. freely acknowledged
ner guilt, but declared in the mos. emphatic
terms that it was the first time in her life
that she had been guilty Of anything Of the
kind, saying that her husband was respect

She remarked that she conld not imagine how

she saw the portmonaie in the muff, and the
next moment she found il 10 her hand She
spent, she said, but little more than half the
money, and. through fear Of discovery, burn
ed the balance up. She concluded the in
