DR. WISHART'S PINE TREE TAR
CORDIAL will positively cure the following
diseases: Consumption, if not beyond the pow
er of medicine; Inflammation of the Lungs,
Coughs, Sore Throat and Breast, Bronchitis,
Asthma, and an unfailing remedy for female
complaints.
The above are few among the thousands
whom this great remedy has saved from an un-
timely grave.
We have thousands of letters from Physicians
and Druggists who have prescribed and sold the
Tar Cordial, saying that they have never used
or sold medicine which gave such universal
satisfaction.
s -. REMEMBER THAT
The Tar Cordial when taken in connection with
DR.. Wishart's Dyspepsia Pills is an infallable
cure for Dyspepsia.

SKtNNING GENERAL Buffers HORSE,
About six month'ago, while in the neigh
borhood Of the Dutch Gap canal, Gene
raj Butler received information that his
favorite horse, Almond Eye, had been
accidentally killed by falling into ra-
vine. Upon the departure of the inform
ant, he ordered an Irishman to go and
skin him. "What, is Almond Eye dead?"
asked Pat. "What's that to you? Do
as l bid you and ask no questions" D"
Pat went about his business, and
in an houror two returned. "Well, Pat,
where have you been all this time?"
"Skinning the horse, your honor.
"Docs it take nearly two hours to per-
form such an operation "No, yer
honor; but then you see it tuck bout
half an hour to catch him" "Catch

Yes, yer honor; and you know could
not skin him alive" Skin HIM alive

You know | must obey orders without
asking any questions" Gen. Butler eyed
his servant with such a malicious look
that Pat thought that he meditated
skinDing an Irishman in revenge for the
death of his horse.

NORTHERN FLUNKEYIsM REBUKED IN
THE SoUTH,-The Augusta (Ga.) ChrOn-
icle rebukes the attempt Of some Of our
democrats to reconstruct that party on
the basis of the Virginia resolutions, and
aptly says:
at would appear that there was hard.
ly any room for doubt as to the popu-
lar judgments on the merits of this con-
demned formula of political faith. The
ballot and the bayonet have both de-
cided Eagainst it. The masses OF the
American people have no relish for its
distractions, and are still more averse
to it's practical application. The late
war, with it's as yet unrealized horrors,
and its unmeasured and unmeasurable
calamities, is the fruit of this philosophy.
Without it's sanction the Southern peo-
pie would never have attempted seces-
sion. Better would it have been for the
nation if those resolutions had perished
as an untimely birth. Their revival
now forebodes mischief to the country,
and if not sternly rebuked will speedily
mar the general harmony that begins to
prevail. It ought now to be considered
a fundamental article in the creed OF all
parties, that all schemes for the disrup-
tion of the national unity are treason
able, and that any theory of our govern
ment that denies to the federal authority
the constitutional right to protect itself
by military force against such machina-
tion. is false. and deserves to be spurned
nv every honest patriot in the land"

MURDER AT CLAREMoMT, N. H.-The
dead body of man named George BUS
ham was discovered in a well at Clare
mont, on Sunday morning last, by a
woman who went there for water. The
body was Immediately taken from the
well and found to be terribly mutilated,
o deep cash across the forehead, the face
nose, and cheek bone broken in and COW
cred with clotted blood. A round,
heavy piece of iron covered with blood
was found near the well, leaving no
doubt that the man was deliberately
murdered. A silver watch which had
stopped at twenty minutes past ten, was
found on the body, and the murder was
doubtless committed at that hour Satur-
day night A brother-in-law who has
not been on good terms with the deceas-
ed is suspected and has been arrested.

GEN. LEES PARDoN.-The Richmond
Wing of Tuesday prints some interest
ing statements concerning the applica-
tion for pardon made by Gen. Robert E.
Lee From the time, it says, of Presi-
dent Johnson's proclamation Of amnesty,
Gen. Lee had determined to avail him.
self of the invitation, and had drawn
up his application accordingly, which
was about to be transmitted to Wash
ington when an indictment was found
against him and Others at Norfolk. This
circumstance prevented Lees sending
his application to Washington, but he
enclosed it to Gen. Grant, with note
calling his attention to what had been
done at Norfolk, and remarking that If,
according to his (Gen. Grant's) under
standing of the articles Of capitulation,
he (Gen. Lee was liable to Indictment
and prosecution for treason, then he did
not feel at liberty to make the applica-
tion for pardon. But if Gen. Grants
understanding were the reverse, thenGen.
Lee would be obliged to him if he would
forward the petition to the President.
Gen. Grant, it is reported, responded to
Gen. Lees note promptly, and in the
most complimentary and friendly terms,
enclosing letter he addressed to Wash
ington in forwarding the petition, taking
the ground that, under the terms Of the
surrender, the proceeding at Norfolk
was wholly inadmissible.

ALMOST A TRAGEDY.-ProtesSor Rug
gles of Dartmouth College, had very
narrow escape at Niagra Falls on Friday
evening. While walking on Goat Island
with a party of ladies, one of them
dropped her parasol, which slid some
fifteen or twenty feet down the bank of
the river. Mr.. Ruggles went down and
picked it up, but, on attempting to re-
turn, the bank being slippery and the
ground hard, lost his footing and fell to
the very brink of the nrpcinicn. which a t
tIiis point is eighty or ninety feet high
Here he caught hold of an upturned
tree, the trunk Of which hangs over the
ahys. The shock caused the tree to
shake violently, and it appeared on the
point of falling over the precipice. The
ladies shrieked aud called for help but
no assistance was at hand. A move
ment on the part of Mr.. Ruggles, or a
gust of wind, seemed sufficient to cause
the tree to fall. At this critical mo-
ment one of the ladies took off her bas-
quine and skirt, cut them into strips,
got shawls and other articles of cloth
ing foom the rest of the party, tied them
together, fastened a stone to the rope
thus formed and let it down to Mr. Rug
giles, who, taking hold of it, walked
slowly up the bank. 1t was Il moment
of fearful suspense The rope was held
frmls by the ladies above, but it might
unite or break, and q fall of a hundred
feet below must be the inevitable result
When Mr.. Ruggles reached terra trma

remarkable presence of mind tainted, anc
was taken home in an unconcious
