WINE 7 -


From the earliest ages wine has been known and
esteemed one of the choicest productions Of the
earth. 1t is rendered proverbial in Scripture. In
the present age good wine is not only valued as a
luxury but there are several kinds which are held
in high estimation by the medical profession, and
form a valuable commodity in every good dispen-
sary In Europe there are upwards Of fifty differ
ent kinds of wine, obtained from as many different
kinds of grapes. But it has remained for modern
science and skill to produce luxurious ond de-
lightful wine from medical plants and roots The
object has been fully accomplished in an article
called Dr. HALSEY'S FOREST WINE. From q
formula of roots plants etc., of the highest medi
cal order. is here I reduced pure wine, equal, If
not superior, in flavor to any imported, at the same
time retaining all the virtues of one of the best
medical formulas ever known,
No invalid can object to take the Forest Wine on
account of dsagreeabe taste, and none can take it
without being convinced of its great value as a
medical agent. From our own experience we can
vouch for the excellence of this wine and trust
that every one, whose health is in the least i'm
paired, will read DR.. Halsey's advertisement,
which will be found in our columns to-day, and
avail themselves of the remedy.

The Weather.

Down Ihro, the February skies,
Old Winter has at length descended.
And from long assumed disguise
Ger mortal weakness thus extended.
The piercing wind, the sitting snow,
Mingling wherever We may go,
In right old February fashion,
Now streaks of sunshine, then of cloud,
Like sad mourner's sable shroud,
Or gusts of lovers ftful passion.
Our life is February weather.
Where good and bad are mixed together,
In sweet and bitter po.ions.
But all unwise the vain essay
To mix the winter storm with May,
To suit onr morbid notions;
Far better if the summer sky
Be painted Ger the hercest storm.
And hooe is bringing summer nigh.
To keep the fainting spirit warm.

Ha1Sey's Forest Pills

TINE FOREST PILLS neither CRIME nor xeaker
i the system. This is because they contain M
deleterious drugs or minerals, but are extracts Of
plants which are as wholesome as the food We cot
A CURE is CERTAIN, and they cure without
weakening the system or affecting the bowels but
slightly, except in full doses, when they purge
thoroughly but without gripping pains, or producing
weakness. a.
IT IS FOLLY to use gripping, drastic purgatives
such drugs weaken and destroy the tone of the
stomach and bowels. Never weaken the system.
The stronger the vital functions, the more power
have they to throw off disease when assisted BY q
good medicine
MILLIONS OF BOXES
OF the FOREST PILLS have been used. with the
most happy results. Letters and certificates from
every part Of the Union and British Colonies,
testifying to the good effects, and the cures of
thousands from their efficacy, have been received.
kEADtRt never knew single instance where
the FOREST PILLS have been taken according to
the directions but they produced the mos. decided
benefit. Even in old standing complaints, where
the patient pefseFered ip then, for a reasonable
length of time; they have effected cure in every
instance which has come to my knowledge Ii
should be understood that the FOREST PILLS are
not made from common drugs, all other pills are
but that they are prepared from the medicinal vir
tues of certain plants, which nourish and purify
the blood as food does the body. l will mention,
for example, three of these plants which are well
known: DANDELION, YELLOW DOCK, and
SARSAPARILLA. The others aresfound growing
wild in the forests, and bsir medicinal properties
are ten times more effective than Those have
named. Were it not for making known the secret
of valuable discovery, / would not hesitate to
give their names. Suffice 1t to. say, that the midi
cinal efficacy of one of those was discovered from
its cure of horrible of Scrofula in about three
weeks time - -. = =; .. IL,

The new school Presbyterian Synod of
Pennsylvania now in annual session here, paid
their respects 10 the President to-day. They
were received in the East room. Their mod
orator, Mr. Arknlan, made a short address, in
which he stated that the members OF the Sy-
nod were loyal men. and had the greatest CONT
dence in the President. His name had become
a household word, for it was ever in their
praises in churches and around the family
altar.
DR.. Brainard said-Mr. President, you have
a responsibility resting upon you which no
man has had since the beginning of the world
You have not only great empire to main
tain, but the advance of the civilization of six
thousand years. We have confidence in you,
and we feel that we stand here to-day because
of your firmness.
The President, in reply, said it had been
stated that he had responsibility resting upon
him. He felt it, when he considered that the
great territory of the country, and its large pop
lation, and the institutions which had grown
up with it, liberty and religion were to be
maintained. He said he could do his duty
under this heavy responsibility by the assist
ance of God and the means which he had sup
/ piled, among which the Reverend gentlemen,
his visitors, were noble examples. II God was
with us, we would succeed; if not we should
fail.
After the President had concluded, the
m embers of the synod were scverally intro
du ced to him.

tary companies of this city were disorganized
by the war, We referred to the Independent
Companies, a large portion of the members
being in the service. There are two COM
panies of State Guards organized in this city,
and, as we are informed, the reason why one
or both were not called out to act as escort to
the Veterans of Newburyport, was that the
Committee OF Arrangements Oh the part of
the city had so short notice of the expected
arr, al of our guests that there was not time
to nc tify the members of the State Guards.
