Wrecks of Humanity.
WHY SHOULD THEY SINK :?

The excitement of 1.-THE chase has always
but there is kind of chase which breaks
down the constitution, debilitatss the frame,
and shortens lite. We mean ths hsadlong,
underwriting hunt after .sthe almighty dol
lar" which is the great business Characters
tic Of the present day. 1t begsts other evils
unnecessary to name) which precipitate the
fate Of thousands. There is, however, pos,
sibility of recovery from the prostration pro-
duced by these causes, long after their victim
has ceased to hope for it. If we are rightly
informed, the most astonishing cnres of what
is called general weakness and debility, which
have ever been known in this coantry, have
been eIeGtsd through the agency of Doct oil
Holloway's inestimable remedies. Mere sksl.
etons of men, out of whom the very princi.
pie of vitality seemed to have been drained
have been restored to health and vigor by the
operation Of the Pills; and of the Ointment
in case Of paralysis rheuma atism, &C., we hear
An equally favorable account. If meu will
break down their energies by over exertien-
il, in their anxiety % "go ahead they will
override the most precious of Gods blessings
health-it is we'll they should know how tt
repair the mischief, when they come at las
to realize the fact of their premature decay
The wrecks of humanity, who, without an,
particular disease, appear to be sinking from
mere exhaustion, would find, without doubt
immediate relief from Doctor Holloway =
rem edies.

Case Of Doasfe Marriage.

The Steubenville Courier relates the
following singular account Of how woman
came to have two husbands:
I'VE have heard 4 great many villa ro-
mances, singular stories, and queer cir
sumstances growing cut Of the present
war. Bun fact is sometimes stranger than
fiction, as the ease We are about 70 relxte
will show. when the war frss broke out,
young married man of this city volun-
teered in the service of his coentry, left
his younE wife and child, and went forth
so fight his country's battles His regi
ment was hotly engaged at the battle OF
Perryville, and he was reported among
the killed Indeed there seemed to be no
doubts az TO the fact Of his death, several

seen him fall ard knew where he was

brought &c, his wife, and after the FIRST
waves of bitter sorrow that swept oyer

mains brought home: She was assisted in
the undertaking by kind friends, and two
months or mere after, a metallic coffin,

mains Of the supposed deceased, was

during the four or 6veimonths since their
marriage they have been living in undis-
thrbedshappiness But at last shadow
has eclipssd their sanshine. A few days
since, az we are informed, an exchanged
prisoner, just from the south, passed
through here, and left alrnsssage from the
supposed deceased husband for his wife,
stating that he was prisoner in the
hands of hsrebels; alive and we'll, and
as he was in daily expectation of being

It is believed that securities offer so
great Inducements to lenders as the various
descriptions of U. s. Bonds In all other
forms of Indebtedness, the faith or ability of
private parties or stock companies or separate

while for the debts of the United States the
whole property Of the country is holden to
secure the payment OF both principal and
interest in coin -

from $50 up to any magnitude, on ithe}same

that the total Funded Debt of the United

IN the Sd day of March, 1864 was $7os, $685.,
600. The interest on this debt for the COM
