For Irregularities!

For irregularities
l have tested these Drops in my own
practice, over ten years, and do dot hest
tate to say, that nothing has yet been de-
veloped by medical research, that acts SO
powerfully, positively, and harmlessly, in
cases OF female irregularity as does this
medicine. In all recent eases it never
fails, while thousands who have been long
sufferers, are indebted tn it for the boon OF
health to-day. 84
Although so powerful and positive, they
are perfectly harmless, and may be used
at. times. except when specially forbid
denl n the directions.
They have been extensively employed
by eminent physicians in France and Eng
land, as well as in my own practice. over
ten years. and have yet to hear the first
instance of failure. Icould give You testi-
lnonials OF their efficacy from ladies all
over the northern and western States,
where they not in their nature private.

MOVING DAY.-To- day is set apart in
the calendar as dedicated to moving
goods and chattels" from one house to
another, and the indications are that
our citizens will religiously observe
this old custom. Some of them antici-
pate much pleasure over their removals,
while others to whom the excitement
has lost all its enjoyment from frequent
repetition, are dolorous over the neces-
sity which compels them to "get up and
dust" The increase of rents will doubt
less result in forcing many families to
remove to smaller and less pretcntious
dwellings than those they have hereto
fore occupied, or else be satisfied with a
few rooms in large tenement houses.
Small and convenient houses are very
difficult TO obtain, even in the suburbs
of the city, and when found the rents
demanded are eXorbitant.

THE LATEST STYLE.-Immense shell
combs, such as were worn forty years
ago, are to supercede the waterfall. AS
a special inducement for the ladies to
wear them, we would mention, that
when these combs were in vogue before,
they were the cause of almost as many
severe and fatal accidents as hoops have

MATKIMONIAL.-The matrimonial mar
ket was very quiet the past month, the
Recorder of this county having issued
only fourteen licenses. 1t is wonder
tons that any young man, in these days
of high prices, should have the temerity
to "splice" his expenses. 1.-TWO souls"
may have "but single thought" but
they have two appetites, which is an
expensive attribute, these days. ''Love
in q cottage" when you have to pay
$3.50 a year rent for the cottage, is more
practical than poetical.

LARCENY.-On Saturday, about noon,
George Hartford, who has penchant

Thomas Lindsay, who boards at the ho-

from black coat; but being perceived
by one of the attaches Of the house, he
was soon taken into custody by officer
Scroggins, and after an examination
was committed to Jail for trial before

Saturday says: eve are informed that
a Pittsburg iron mill started their pud-
dlers yesterday at 81 per ton, and the
rest will follow on Monday. This is
but in accordance with the action Of

that the mill at Buffalo, \. Y, is run

Kittaning, as also that at Brady's Bend,
which was operated during the winter

BALMY.-The past two days have
been as balmy and enjoyable as the
most ardent lover of genial sunshine
could desire, and were provocative of

The fire originated in room devoted TO

ACCIDENT At BELLAIRE.-A fatal ac-
cident occurred at Bellaire on Thurs
day afternoon last. Benjamin Plum
mer, colored porter at the Interna-
tional, attempted to get on train on
the Central Ohio read before it had
come to stop, but missing his hold he
fell under the train, the wheels passing
over both his legs, crushing them in
such manner that it became necessary
to amputate them just below the knee,
which operation was performed by DR..
Jeffries, assisted by Drs. Sanders, Lyle,
Junkers and Grafton. But it proved OF
no avail, as the unfortunate man ex-
pired about two hours after the opera
ton, from, it is supposed, internal in
iuries. The deceased was aged about
twenty-six years, and Yas soon to have
been married. He formerly lived at
New Greek, West Virginia.

night kiss, at the paternal door, if the
lady is willing-but as friend to both,
we would suggest that they both be-

coast is clear, when they are about to
indulge in this elegant little by-play.

ALL Fools DAY.-What tutelar deity
presides over the first of April, or
whence the name of All Fools Day and
its peculiar custom, we are not advised,
nor does it matter. Such is the name
and custom rs far back as the memory
of writer and reader runneth, and with
them only have we to do. The great
principle which underlies the time-hon-
ored ceremonials of All Fools Day is
that it is highly humorous to afflict pain
and injury, and so well has this been
learned that from the boy who hides 4
stone under a hat and lies ii UPON the
pavement to the betrayal of the unsuspi-
cious owner of pedal corns, to the man
who sends his neighbor upon wild-goose
chase up town to find something to his
advantage all have the same and i"
Wow. II Is peculiarly appropriate,
therefore, and was no doubt specially
instituted to that end, that it should he
set apart as day of general removal of
household goods and gods to a strange
domicile. In the sense of april Fool'
humor, we know of nothing so e1crnci-
atingly funny as this custom, if We can
Judge by the uncommon and forcible
language of pdter .familias as he sweats
and tugs at some piece of unwieldy fur
niture, OF blacks his shirt-bosom and
face in putting up refractory stove

head of the household at the breakage
of her cherished china and the energetic
manner in which she boxes Tommy's
ears or sits Sissy down in the corner.

of that inveterate practical joker who,
