The Portsmouth, N. H. Journal says
that "a lady now residing at Cape Eliza
beth, in the vicinity of Portland, two or
three years since purchased at auction, in
Portsmouth, aD1old mahogany chair with
a hair-eloth cushioned seat, tackled round
with brass nails, The price paid was fifty
cents. After taking it home, she under
took the repair of the cushion, and open
ing it, discovered some papers, with the
whole value of which the public has not
been made acquainted. 1t is said that an
important will of one of the Earl of Der
byfs family was here brought to light,
which sent a large estate to different heirs
from those who had inherited it. Infor-
nation, it is said, was sent to England, and
Especial messenger was sent out, who gave
the lady a large reward-how much is not
known, but as she was enabled to invest
fifty thousand dollars in Government
stocks last year, it is thought that she
made a profitable business in her chair
speculation. The name of the lady is
Mrs. Mayberry."

THE TONIC

is a sLnnuIant, and none other IS required when 1t II
used. 1t is pure and pleasant; no bad effects like wher
using Bourbon whisky, which disorders the stomach
torpors the liver, locks up all secretions, turns the
blood into water, dropsy sets in, and the patient dies
suddenly.
Bourbon whisky is recommended nowadays by al
most every physician. Many patients that visit my
rooms, both male and female, are stupeied with this
poison. The relief is temporary. If they cough they
take a little whisky if they feel weak and feeble they
take a little whisky; IL they cannot sleep they take a
little whisky and they go on in this way, requiring
more and more until tuey are bloated up, and imagine
they are getting heshy. The stomach, liver, and di-
gestive power RS are completely destroyed, and lose
their appetite for food. No one was ever cured of
consumption by this process, where Ca vitIes have been
beneficial TO cOnsumptives, such as pure brandy or
good wines; in many cases London porter or Bout In
moderate quantities; but Bourbon whisky hastens on
instead of curing consumption.
