DR.. Robaok,s Remedies.

We publish, in another column of to-dsy's
paper, an article copied from the Cincinnati
Times, descriptive of DR.. Roback's extern
sive medical establishment in that city. By
the way, DR.. Roback's Remedies have OBJ
tanned great and deserved popularity with
all classes. 1t has been but q short time
since these Remedies were introduced into
our section of country; yet DR.. Brennan, Dr.
Roback's agent in this place, informs US that
his sales of the Blood Pills and Blood Puri-
fer now far exceed those of all others medi-
cines for which he Is agent, combined
The reason for this, is, that they have stood
the test of practical experience. We know
this not only from the mouths of others, but
we have used them in our own family with
the very best results. For all diseases OF
the blood, general debility, whether pro-
ceeding from sicknessIor from natural weak
ness, indigestion, and all kindred ailments,
we recommend thesScandinavian Remedies
as the ve,y best medicine extant. They are
destined to achieve, not an ephemeral sue
cess, but permanent AID deserved reputa-
ton, which will render them a necessity in
every family.-MapoleOn o., North West,

Capture of Runaway Slaves.

Early last June, a valuable negro man be-
longing to Mr.. Thos. B. Victor, of this Co J
made his escape from his master, and sue
cassfully baffled all efforts to capture him.
Several weeks ago, another "Contraband"
belonging to Mr.. Ben. Kirk, also of this Co.,
attempted to make his escape to Ohio, but
was caught and brought back and again fed,
this time gaining the desired shore. A few
days ago, information was given to the OVID
ers of these slaves, that their men were at
or near certain place in Brown Co. o. A
force of six men, including Messrs. Victor
and Kirk, started in pursuit. The assistance
of the Sheriff of Brown Co. was procured.
and last Tuesday morning both of these
"Free Americans of African Descent were
nabbed, taken before the authorities at
Georgetown and delivered to their owners
They were brought to this side OF the
river, and lodged in Jail.

In this city, Monday morning, January 2s,
Mrs ELIZA F. wife of JAMES H COOPER, and
daughter Of sMr. j John C. Reed 90
In the death of this ami able;lady, this entire
community truly sympathizes with the bereaved
family, for although she had not been married
quite twelve months, she had evinced not only
to her deeply bereaved husband but all her acT
quaintapces that she was was a kind and de-
voted wifa. Losing faithful christian Mother
not long since, she had been in the house of her
Father as the head and filling the place OF ner
Mother as far as her age would admit, adding
greatly to the domestic happiness tof the entire
family by her cheerful and affectionate DISPOSE
ton. From her childhood she had learned from
the Bible and the the instruction of her Plous
Parents, that Religions the true source OF hap
piness. She had been member of the church
from the age of IL, and as she grewup into more
mature years, she had indeed shown the "gfaee
of the Spirit, p and when unexpectedly called TO
renquish so many DEAR TIES of earth this rellg-
ion enabled her to give them up expecti ng re-
union where parting shall be no more.
The writer of this short tribute having been
intimate with the deceased from infancy, can
butEfeel sad and mingle his toars with those
that weep, and say to them that altho' "she can
not come back to you, you can go to her."
