SCHENCK'S SEAWEED TONIC.

This medicine, invented by Or. ]. II.
SCHENCK OF Philadelphia, is intended 10 dis
solve the food and ma re il into chyiue, the first
process of digestion. By cleansing the sto-
mach with Schenck's Mandrake Pills, the
Tonic soon restores the apPetite, and food
that could not be eaten before using it will
be easily digested.
Consumption cannot be cured By Schenck's
PulGonic SYrup unless the stomach aud liv-
er is made healthy and the ppetite restored,
hence the Tonic and Pills are required in
nearly every case OF consumption. A half
dozen bottles of the SEAWEED TONIC nd
three or four boxes of the MANDRAKE
PILLS will cure any ordinary case OF dys-
pepsis.
DR.. ScHENCK makes professional visits in
New York, Boston, and at his principal Of
flee In Philadelphia every week. See daily
papers of each place, or his pamphlet on con-
sumption for his days for visitation.
Please observe, when purchasing, that the
two likenessess of the Doctor, one when in

Family Poisoned

On last Wednesday evening, soon af-
ter having partaken of supper, Mr. Jacob
Stuber, living in Centre street, together
with his wife and four children, were
suddenly y taken sick. A physician, who
was called in, found that they had par
taken of polsion, but how, they are un-
able to say. 1t is supposed, however, that
the butter used by the family must have
been colored with some poison, as tho two
youngest children, who are not in the
habit of eating butter, were not affected
The family is doing well, and hopes are
entertained of their entire recovery

Mayor and Common Council were chosen.
The occasion was one that was watched
with intense interest by the friends and
opponents of universal suffrage, as it was
the first practical example ofthe former and
the discontinue of the latter, the election
passed off quietly and peaceably, the ne
grocs casting their votes with as much
dignity and discrimination as if they had
beeu accustomed to doing so all their
lives. A strong force of policemen were
on hand to prevent any riotous action on
the part of the Rebels and Copperheads
who form a ma jority of the white po-
pulation Of Georgetown, but no outrages
were attempted. About two thousand
votes were cast, the proportion being about
twelve hundred whites to eight hundred
blacks Charles d. Welsh the Radical

When such representative men as
Reverdy Johnson in the National Senate,
and Governor Orr and Ex-Governor
Brown Of South Carolina and Georgia,
publicly advocate the adoption by the
Southern States Of the conditions set forth
in the Reconstruction bill Just passed by
Congress, it is proof that the legislative
body of the nation has acted wisely. 1t
has done what was necessary to make it
self respected as the law making power,
not subordinate to the individual pleasure
of the Executive The declarations of
these men show that ere long, if not held
back by. the sinister counsels of those who
would still cherish the spirit Of treason
for the accom- plishment of political ends,
the masses Of the Southern people will
cheerfu,ly conform to what Congress has
now signifed to be the ultimate basis of
restoration. The principles of the Cousti
tutional Amendment, suppoated by the
establishment Of universal suffrage, will
will give to the countryt that guarantee Of
future safety and peace without which
there can be no final reorganization Of the
Rebel communities. The examples of
lawlessness and persecution of Union men
in the South are zoo many and too recent
to be ignored. The loyal people who
stand behind Congress will never consent
that such barbarous condition of society
shall be perpetuated in any part Of the
country. They further demand that the
freedman, whose shackles have been bro
ken by the act Of the nation, shall be un-
restricted in his personal liberty, aud shall
be treated as man and not as brute
That the fidelity of Congress will at last
secure these ends cannot be doubted
The present attitude of number Of South
ern leaders shows that the leaven of re-
generation is at work, and it will not sur
prise US if the entire South shall have
been reconstructed" upon the basis of
equal rights for all before the end of the
present year.

Just safter the Doctor left home, two
strangers called at the house, and inquired
if he was in. The servant girl replied
he was not and the men left. Late III
the evening they returned, aud woke Mrs
Coriell, who went to the door. As soon
as she opened the door one cf the men

On reaching the scene, the minister
discovered that the house was on fire.

dense, he placed himself upon the floor tc
avoid sufocation, when his hand came in
contact with the body of Mrs. Coriell
which was partially covered with blood

murder of Mrs. Coriell, which are con

An investigation was commenced Tues
day afternoon, when a physician from
Plainfeld made post-mortem examina
tion Of the body. He found ten stabs OIL

that caused death was in the neck, which
severed the jugular vein: There were
also visible the prints of four upper teeth
and from the fact that no robbery ha,
been committed, or any apparent attemp

Narrow Escape.

Miss Sarah Melick, employed as a
weaver in the Wooen Mills, in this bor-
ough, made a narrow escape with her
life on Monday evening. She had just
stopped her loom, preparatory to quitting
work fer the day, when, as she extin-
guished her light, the lamp (kerosene)
exploded, scattering the burning oil over
her head, neck and shoulders. Owing to
the presence of mind of her companions,
who enyelored her at once in piece OF
WOODEN cloth, her life was saved, and she
escaped with slight burns on her neck,
shoulders and hands. The burning oil
on the floor and loom, for time, threat
ened the destruction Of the Mills, but af
ter some little labor it was happily cxtin-
guished.
