Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is a constitutional disease, a corruption Of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mercural disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, 81
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their Children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, cruptons or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which gcndcrs in the blood, deprcsscs
the energies of life, so that scrofulous consttr-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous III their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most Of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous (;
their persons are invaded by this lurking IN
fecton, and their health is undermined by it..
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply i'll

the Malaria OF Mias,natic Countries.
We are enabled here TO offer the community
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CuRE" expels the miasmatic poison of FEVER
AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the de-
velopment of the disease, if taken the first ap-
proach Of its premonitory symptoms. Itisnot only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
of complaints, but also the cheapest The large
quantity supply for dollar brings it within the
reach of every body and in bilious districts where
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body should
have it and use it freely both for cure and protcc-
tion. A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of lntermttents is that it contains no Qunnc
or mineral, consequently produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the cOnstitu-
ton. Those cured by it are left as healthy as if
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Aguc is not alone the consequence Of
the miasmatic poison. A great variety Of dsor-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Meulatism, GO,a, Headdchc, Blind
ness, IOOthache, EdrGche Catdvh, asthma, Pat
pitation Paintm affection IF the Spleen, HySter-
tcS Pam IN the Bo'cels, Colo, Paralysis and De-
TaHgemeW Of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the Intermittent
type, or become periodical. This "CURE" cXpels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection TO
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts If taken occa-
sionally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into dis
ease. Hence it is even more valuable for protec-
ton than cure and few will ever suffer from Inter-
mittents il they avail themselves of the protection
this remedy affords.

We append their terms for lS66:
IFrom the Louisville Journal. 16th.l
Escape of TerrilI and WeIhers-A
Daring Rekcue.
Journal, 16th.l

A short time ago we published notice
of the Sheriff of Spencer county having
taken Captain Ed. Terrill and John i.
Wethers, two notorious guerrillas, from our
Jail, where they have been confined for
safe-keeping since last summer, to Taylors-
vile, for trial before the Circuit Court,
which was in session there, on a charge of
murder. The case not being ready for trial
was continued until the next term of court,
and the prisoners were remanded to Jail to
be sent back here again for safe-keeping, as
before. During the session of court several
strangers had been noticed hanging around
the town, and one OF them, we understand,
was arrested for carrying concealed dead
ly weapon, he having a Colts revolver on
belt under his coat. He was discharged
on his statement that he was carrying it in
self-defense several persons having threat
ened to shoot him on sight for an affair that
transpired during the late war. On Friday
night seven men, armed with revolvers,
went to the jailer's house, and, with cooked
pistols, demanded the keys of the Jail. The
jailer, finding that resistance was impOssi-
BILE against such numbers, submitted, and
they, taking the keys, let Terrill and
Wethers out, and taking the jailer along
with them, and leaving guard over his
wife to prevent an alarm, went to the edge of
the town, where they had horses for them
selves and their two rescued confederates,
the whole party mounted, and bidding the
jailer goodbye, galloped of.
The jailer at once aroused the citizens,
but nothing could be done to recapture the
fugitives. This is about as daring an act
of the kind as has transpired in this State
for some time.
On Terrill seeing his friends open the
door he said: "All right boys; would
have been out in half an hour anyhow"
And so it proved, for on ali examination of
the Jail on Saturday morning, iT was found
that the prisoners had bored great num-
Der of holes in the boarding of the roof,
and could have pushed enough shingles Off
to get through very easily.

The sout,ern ReIief Fair.

The great Southern Relief Fair has come
to an end, as must all the works of mortals;
but perhaps no undertaking of such mag
nitude has ever before been SO successfully
carried out, leaving in its wake so many
pleasant "reminiscences of the happy hours
spent within the hall of the Maryland In-
stitute. The ladies connected with the Fair
have achieved wonders. They have realized
a sum far beyond their most sanguine ex-
pectations, and they will hereafter have the
proud consciousness of knowing that
through their exertions alone thousands of
homes in the impoverished South will be
made to feel glad, and many a field be made
10 blossom as the rose" In taking leave
OF the great exhibition, we can only say,
all honor to the noble women of Baltimore,
and their sisters of Maryland and the ad-
Joining States. They have performed a
good work. and to them be all praise

Population OF Columbus,

Mr.. c. X. Cuckler, Assessor of the Fourth
Ward, has, in the discharge Of his official
duties, taken some pains to ascertain the
probable population of that ward. From
the data obtained, he estimates 1t about 3,6OO
Assuming this as basis, he concludes that
the population of our city, within Its pres
ent corporate limits, cannot be far from
10000.
1t has been suggested that If other Assess
ors in the city would also take some pains,
in the course of their rounds, to approxl-
mate as accurately as possible to a correct
estimate of the population of their respect
i've wards, they would be doinga great pub
lie service. Still better would 1t be, if pro-
vision could be made for taking an official
census of our city. 1t could be done
through the Assessors this spring with
great facility and at comparatively tritllng
expense. Is there not sufficient enterprise
and public spirit among us to have 1t doneP
