two of your safes. One of them was removed and

was consumed but on opening the Safe we had the
satisfaction of finding everything inside perfect.

your make which were in the same Gl-e, both of
which preserved the books and papers thai were in
them, Yours respectfully,

WILL THE BOARD OF HEALTH Look
INTO THIS MATTER G-At No SO1 Race street
houses OF this establishment have been filed
TO oveThowing for some time past, as we
are assured by physician resdI ng and practising
in the neRhb0rhoOd and the landlord refuses, or at
least neg ects, to have them cleaned. The water
was also stopped some three months ago. and the
land ord IL is said, refuses to have IL put agaln
account of the alleged great expense. During
the past SIX weeks there have been five deaths in
the Families residing the premises several OF
which deaths, il not all OF them the results of
the accumulated filth and the stencil arising thero-
from.
Complaints have been made to the Board of
Heath three several times, but attention, it Is
said, has been paid TO them by these custodans OF
the city health. If this is the case we hope they
will proceed without further delay to investigate
the matter, and to appy such summary remedies as
are in their power The cholera has not yet disap-
peared ON the city, and for that reason alone the
subject should receive prompt attention.

SILVER. PLATED WARR-AN OLD. ESTABLISHED
STAND.-In view Of the rapid approach of the Hoh-
days. our readers naturally reminded of the fact
that they have an nnumerabe host of friends who
are expecting some neat testimonial of friendship,
and as most of 'present givers" are generally an
ncyed and perplexed as to what would be most
suitable and acceptable, we would suggest to all
such that they visit the old stand of John
o. Mead s. Co northeast corner of Ninth and Ches-
nut streets. Here they will find every description
OF Silver-Dlated Ware, embracing every article
imaginable, Of prices more reasonable than most
other establishments This house has no connection
whatever with any other in the city, and is probably
the oldest established place of the kind in Phlladel
phia Every article offered for sale is made by ex-
perienced wOrkmen, employed only by this firm,
which is the only one in the city that manufactures
and plates hard metal goods, Notwithstanding the
pretensions made by other establishments engaged
in similar business. This is fact which those in
search OF superior silverware should bear in mind
that this house can furnish their goods at a much
less cost to the purchaser. We therefore heartily
recommend this establishment the best place IN
this any other city for the purchase OF every de-
scrptlon of Sllverware.

Democrat. But when we reflect that this

Democrat. But when we reflect that this
suggestion has come from the South. we
are not surprised at its adoption. A re-
cent number of the Richmond Who
suggested that the name Democrat was
so associated with that of Copperhead
that it would be found advisable, if pos.
sible, to avoid the odum thus attached |
While it is somewhat Illuminating to be
thus reminded, by "their Southern
friends" ofthe great odium which attach
es to the Northern Democracy as the
opponents of the war for the Union, to
us it is not surprising that they are will
ing to follow their suggestions. AT any
rate it is now clear that the PHILADELPHIA
Convention will result either in an abor-
tion, or else iu the reorganszation of the
old Democratic party from Main to Geor-
gia. We, therefore, congratulate our
Democratic neighbors, that they are
about to be handed over to their old mas
ters-the Davis, the Toombs and Sill
dels' Taking care of themselves has
been troublesome business for them in
the last few years, of this they will now
be relieved

R@- In our notice OF the Democratic
ticket, which we made in late number
Of the CITIZEN, in which we bespoke for
the unfortunate nominees overwhelming
defeat we omitted the name of one ofthe
victims. We are told this gentleman is
claiming our failure to register him as an
evidence that we knew he was likely to
share better fate than his comrades.-
This is grand mistake. The facts are,
we had been out in the country the day
of the Convention, and on returning home
in the evening, and after having made
diligent inquiry as to the nominees, wrote
the paragraph referred to- It imbodied
all we knew at the time of writing. No
one, with whom we had conversed, knew
who their nominee for Sheriff was; we
therefore left it blank, intending the
printers to fill it up if they knew. But
as the fact did not come to the knowledge
even of the printers before going to press,
it was passed over. In fact, there was so
little interest manifested by the people in
the doipgs Of the Convention, that it re-
quired a person to make quite an effort
before he could learn anything about its
doings, 1t is quite matter of merri-
ment indeed, to observe that one or two
of these Democratic q candidates are
really in earnest, as though they had some
earthly chance Of success, while every
body but themselves know that they have
no more chance of reaching the offices for
which they are named, than JEFF. Davis
has of reaching Paradise. Their ill ad-
vised efforts to gain favor would seem to
exhibit (ike Paddy's bull in the fair)
more courage than conduct" Not a
man of them will be within guu.shot of
victory. And IN all this we mean moth
ing disrespectful of these gentlemen per-
sonally-that would be quite unnecessary,
as their political relations are all sufficient
for their overwhelming defeat. d" -Four
years of war f lure" will confront them
on every corner. They may get the peo-
ple's commiseration, but not their sup
port.

A New and Grand Epoch in Medicinel

DIR. MAGGIEL is the founder Of new
Medical System The quantitariaus,
whose vast internal doses enfeeble the
stomach and paraly4e the bowels, must
give precedence to the man who restores
health and appetite, with from one to two
of his extraordinary. Pills, and cures the
most virulent sores with box or so of his
wonderful and all-healipg Salve. These
two great specifics of the Doctor are fast
superseding all the stercot yped nostrums
of the day. Extraordinary cures by
MaggiePs Pills and Salve have opened
the eyes of the public to the inefficiency
of the ESQ called) remedies of Others, and
upon which people have SO long blindly
depended Maggiels Pills are not Of she
class that swallowed by the dozen, and
of which every box full taken creates an
absolute necessity for another. One or
two of Maggiels Pills suffices to place the
bowels in perfect order, tone the stomach,
creates an appetite, ana reader the spirits
light and buoyant There is 10 gripping,
and no reaction in the form of constipa-
ton. Ii the liver is affected, Its func-
tions are restored; and if the nervous
system is feeble, it is inyigorated. This
last quality makes the medicines very
desirable for the wants of delicate fe-
males. Ulcerops and eruptive diseases
are literally extinguished by the olsen
fectant power of Maggiels Salve. In
fact, it is here announced that MAGGIEL's
BILIoUs, DYsPEPTIc AND DIARRHEA
PILLS cure where all others fail. While
