Ayers Ague Cure,


which neutralizes this malsrious poison in the
blood, and stimulates the liver to expe it from the
body. As it should, so it does cure this affecting
disorder with perfect certainty. And it does more,
rather does what is Of more service to those sub
ject to this infection If taken in season it expes
it from tho system it is absorbed and thus keeps
those who use it free from its attacks Keeps the
system in health although exposed to the disease.
Consequently it not only cures but protects from,
the great variety Of affections which are induced
by this malignant influence such as Remittent
Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague,
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious
Fevers, Neuralgia, rheumatism, Gout, Blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpita-
tons, Painful Affections of the Spleen Mysteries,
Collie, Paralysis, and Painful Affections of the
Stomach and Bowels, all of which, when arising
from this cause, will be found to assume more or
less the intermittent type. This "AGuB CURB 4"
removes the Of these arrangements, and cures
the disease. - tt
This it accomplishes by stimulating the excre-
tories to expel the virus from the system; and
these organs by degrees become habited to do this
their office of their own accord Hence arises what
we term acclin,atatioa. Time may accomplish the
same end, but often life is not long enough, or is
sacrificed in the attempt, while this AGUE CURE "
does it at once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this is a surer as well safer
remedy for the whole class of diseases which arc
caused by the masmatic infection, than any other
which has been discovered; and it has still another
important advantage to the public, which is, that
it is cheap as well as good.

Marriages in New York.

From the New York Herald of May g.
The Cavalry Church (Rev. DR.. Hawke's)
corner of Twenty-frst street and Fourth
avenue, was yesterday afternoon the theatre
of fashionable commotion, consequent upon
the marriage of Capt. Geo. B. McClelland,
formerly of the army, and Miss Mary E.,
daughter of Major Randolph B. Marcy, who
made the famous march from Fort Bridger
to Santa Fe for the relief of the army, and
whose name was several times coupled with
distinction during the late troubles in Utah.
The groom also served with honor in the
Mexican war, and during the Crimean war,
with Majors Delafeld and Mordecai, was
appointed on commission of observation
to proceed to Russia and collect facts on the
field relative to army operations there. The
groomsmen were Captains Clitz and Smith,
Lieutenants Wilcox, Williams and Me- Cook,
of the army, and Mr.. Raymond while the
invited guests embraced many well-known
officers and civilians, among whom were
Lieutenant General Scott and daughter,
Ex.Gov. Seymour, of Connecticut, the gall
liant Colonel of the New England regiment
in the Mexican war Col. Delafeld, OF West
Point !; Col. Joseph E. johnson, Maj. Hill,
Capt. Granger and Gibbs, Collector Schell,
and others. The happy couple, after the
ceremony, retired to the Fifth Avenue Ho-
tel, whence, after receiving the homage of
their friends, they left, at six o'clock, for
Chicago.

SNAKE STORY TELLERs ALL STAND BACK!
Marietta (Ohio) Republican, of the 25th
relates this story. five had not seen it,
originally, in that paper, we should have
asked for the documents .
James Landlord, of Fearing Township,
while narrowing, a few days ago, stopped
his team under a shade tree to repair some
thing which was out of order. While at
work he felt strange sensation come over
him, like delirium,and soon something struck
him on the back of his neck, which aroused
him. On looking up he saw three monster
blacksnakes in the tree, one of which had
commenced coiling itself around him, and
another kept striking to get his head in his
mouth. Selling bis axe, he struck one of
them, severing its head, and as another came
near bis mouth be crushed its neck in his
teeth. The other, after hard fighting, he
put to fight. Keeling from the spot almost
exhausted, he went toward home, and was
soon found by a neighbor, who, after hears
ing his story, went to the tree, and found
the two dead snakes--one of which mea-
sured nine feet and the other over ten.

easily disengaged herself and reached the
door, the General assisting her, but so gent
ly that even the lady was not aware but
she had managed that part at least of the
elopement by herself. Mrs. Abbott then
turned to the General, threw her arms
around him and called for assistance. How
ever unwilling the General may have been
to escape from the embraces Of lady, the
danger of interruption to his plans was too
imminent for delay, and SO he escaped from
Mrs. Abbott's hold and gained his lady
outside. Mrs. Abbott says that the Gene
raj threw her from him in rude and insult
ing manner, and although it is alleged that
Mr.. Bynum is too gallant to treat any lady
rudely, yet it is more than likely that, in the
excitement and hurry of the moment, he did
not disengage himself as gently as might
have been expected under other Giro UNI
stances. In a moment they were in the car
riage, the driver whipped up his horses, and
away they dashed, with Mrs. Abbott on the
sidewalk screaming I" stop that rufian +"

the lady teachers and pupils of the institute
equally distributed along the front and at
the windows of the edifce, indulging in hys>

that, on entering the carriage, Miss Phipps

citation, hardly recognized in England, be.
tween the altar and the halter, and this
account of an incident of this elopement
would suit equally we'll for an execution !;
but, unfortunately for the comparison, those
of the spectators who ought to know most
about the matter say-and we see in it
nothing unnatural or derogatory to the
lady's character-that Miss Phipps never
displayed more alacrity and agility than in
entering the carriage, and that her pallor
was caused by over excitement, and was
only prelude to most charming bridal
bushes. The couple were married that eve
ming by the Rev. DR.. Mcfarland, and pro-
ceeded to the St. Nicholas Hotel, where
they occupy an elegant suite of rooms, and
are enjoying to the full that sweet moon
which, we hope, may never wane either with
them or any other couple.

Captain Mends awaited himself of the pres~

pleased that on Sayers leaving the ship they
solicited and obtained permission to man
