t5y-DR. Morris VEGETABLE LIVER Pulls
are constantly becoming more and more
popular. They are acknowledged to have
no rival In the cure of such diseases as
Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia Fever of all
kinds, Jaundice. Costiveness, Pain in the
stomach, Side, Head, Back, and Bowels,
Bilious Complaints, Loss OF Appetite, Sick
Headache, Scrofula, Scald Head, Rhcuma-
tism. Collie. Pleurisy, Pinples and Sores on
the Skin, Palpitation of the Heart, Lowness
of Spirits, Pain or Weakness of the Breast,
Diseases of Spine and Ksdneys, Sore Eyes,
Diarrhea or Dysentery, Cold, etc.
Most of the abOVe-namcd diseases may be
prevented by taking DIR. Morris VEGE-
TABLE LIVER PILLS In season, or when the
liver becomes first dcrangcd, which carry
of, through the bowles and the secretlons
of the skin and kidneys, those poisonous
humors that clog the stomach, bowels, and
skin, and become accumulated In the blood
There has been as great progress In sci
ence, and especially In that Of medicine,
within the past few years AS there has In
the arts. To such perfection have they
brought this science, that the medicinal
properties are condensed and concentrated
into the resins or salts OF the plant, which
they extract from II, and leave the inert OF
woody matter. The old mode of extracting
these medicinal properties-by boiling foI
a long time In watcr-is found, In most
cases, TO render the medicinal qualitie,
wholly inert, or even decomposing them.
DIR. Morris VEGETABLE LIVER PILLS arc
composed of chemical vegetable extracts
mostly from plants growing In our OWL
country some of these plants have dircc
action on the liver, Others upon the skin
others on the kidneys, and Others upon the
bowels and lungs, 1t is by n peculiar
chemical combination of all these extract
that these Pills are made, possessing thu
most extraordinary efficacy for curing th'
abOve-named diseases.

yesterday morning. at 3% o'clock, near
East Liverpool, three or four miles above
Wellsville, Ohio. while bound from Par
kcrsburg for Pittsburg, on her first trip.
From fifteen to twenty lives are reported

just completed at Pittsbnrg, for the packet
trade between that city and parkersburg.

As soon rs the fire WAS discovered, the
boat was run ashore. The fire originated
in the forward end OF the boat. Its origin
Is unknown. The fire intcrfcred with the
working of the hose. The porter succeeded
in awaking most of the passengers. The
flames spread rapidly, and, the fire being
in the forward end, forced the passengers
aft, with no way to escape but tojump Into
the river. Fout meh jumped into theyawl,
cut II loose, and floated away, while the
women and children were crying on all
sides for help. a few saved themselves by
cllnging TO empty barrels and fragments OF
the steamer. From fifteen to twenty lives
were lost--the Captain thinks, all by
drowning.

1t can not be correctly stated how many
were lost. The crew and passengers num-

conservatives Of all parties unite in the
cordial Endorsement of the Presidents
speech.
The House to-day pcrpctrpted gigantic
fraud upon the people of Indiana, by un-
seating MIR, Voorhees,. The speech Of that
gentleman CALLED Dawes and Stevens to
the quick, and produced great sensation
among the few radicals who did not leave
the hall to avoid 1t. There were. however,
scarcely any Of them present during its
delivery, though they Hooked in upon
It's conclusion. Dawes called for the
previous question and concluded the de-
bate.
Many Representatives voted for Voor-
hces and many avoided voting at all.
Mr.. Deming, of Connecticut, carefully dis
claimed any hand In the outrage. MIR.
O'Neil, Of Pcnpsylyania, washed his hands
