In a few weeks, Mrs. Stewart, though able to
leave her room, was still so feeble as to induce
much anxiety about her future health. Change
of climate was advised by he physician, and at
once acted upon. But, although her love OF
life and natural energy sustained her through
the excitement of some gay party OF amuse-

were forced, and that insdious disease had
too surely fastened upon her delicate frame

DIOCESE OF tirn,atiOms.
On Trinity Sunday, 9Th ult., the Most Rev.
Archbishop administered confirmation in
the Metropolitan Church after the seven
o'clock mass. Two hundred and sixteen
were confirmed, of whom thirty weight were
converts to our holy faith. If we add
twenty-six other converts confirmed in the
Cathedral within the last seven months, the
total number for little more than half q
year will be sixty -four. This speaks well
for the efficient zeal of the clergy attached
to the Metropolitan Church of Baltimore.
On the Feast of Corpus Christi the Most
Rev. Archbishop confirmed one hundred
and sixteen at the Church of st. Agnes, near
Gainesville, now served by the jealous
Passionist Fathers. OF these, sixteen were
converts. On the same day, at twelve
O'Clock, six young ladies were confirmed at
the furnishing Academy of Mount de Sales,
of whom three were converts In the after
noon the Most Rev. Archbishop proceeded
to st. Paurs Church, Ellicott City, where,
at half-past four, he confirmed fifty two, of
whom six were converts. Several of the
boys confirmed were students of Rock Hill
Academy. Total number confirmed, three
hundred and ninety converts, sixty three
being more than sixteen per cent of the
total number confirmed Mirror.

 DR JOHN BULL Dear Str: 1 have recent ly given your "Worm Destroyer" several trials, and find if wonderfully eficacious. It has not failed in a single instance to have the wished for effect. I am doing pretty large country practice, and have daily use for some article of the kind. 1 am free to confess that l know of no remedy recommended by the ablest authors that is so certain and speedy in it's effects. On the contrary they are un- certean in the extreme. My object in writ ing you is to find upon what terms 1 can get the medicine directly from you If can get it upon easy terms, shall use great deal of it. l am aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the teachings and practice of a great majority of the regular line of NJ. D. s, but see no just cause or good sense in dis cardng remedy which we know to be eif- cient, simply because we may be ignorant of it's combination. For my part, l shall make it a rule to use all and any means to alleviate suffering humanity which l may be able to command--aot hesitating because some one more ingenious than myself may have learned it's effects first, and secured the sole right to secure that knowledge. However. am by no means an advocate or supporter of the thousands of worthless nostrums that flood the country, that purport to cure all manner of disease to which human flesh is heir. Please reply soon, and inform me of your best terms. am, sir, most respectfully,

AtteulDted Robbery.

On last Tuesday as Capt. Stephen Wheeler, of Searey, and Mir. Peter Hicks, of West Point, were travelling in buggy on the road from West Point to Negro Hill they were attack ed from the bushes, some four miles from the former place, by two men on horseback, and made to get out of the buggy and ordered to give up their arms, Capt. Wheeler only having a pistol. They then took from Captain Wheeler two watches and some fifteen or twenty dollars, all the money he had in his pocket. After this, one took Hicks and carried him to the bushes in one direction while the other carried Wheeler to the opposite. As soon as Wheeler reached the bushes he dashed away from his man, receiving pistoi-shot wound in his arm. As soon as Wheeler made the attempt at escape the other robber left Hicks to himself and the two pursued after Wheeler, but did not succeed in over taking him, as he made good his escape and reached this place the next day. Hicks made his way back home.
 This is about all we have been able 10 find out about the matter. We have heard various rumors about who the parties were that committed the out rage, but there is too much difference In the stories to place any confidence ill any of them. It is supposed the men thought Capt. Wheeler had a large amount of revenue funds about his person, and was on his way to pay it over. If he had we are glad to know they did not get it. We do not like to hear of such outrages as these, and think if the proper means are used the guilty ones can be oyertaken and brought to justice, as 1t was done in open daylight. If the proper men can he arrested, Hicks and Wheeler can certainly identify them

Snecial Notiea.

We wish to call the attention of our readers to the column advertisement headed Purify Your Blood" to all the articles mentioned in it. All those afflicted by disease, or who have friends suffering from sickness. should care fully read, and we know they will derive pro- fit from it. It gives us much pleasure 10 be able in this manner to recommend to our peo- pie these remedies, as years of trial show they fully deserve. Dr. Thos. A. Hurley Sarsaparilla, the Great Blood Purifier, needs only to be tried to be fully appreciated. His Bitters, (Hurley's,) are the best and purest now offered for sale. For debility and loss of appetite no others ought to be used. Hurley s Ague Tonic is harmless in it's effect and never fails to cure if used by directions. Try it.. Also his Worm Candy, (Huiiey's,) cannot be equalled; any child will take it. So it is with Dr.. Seabrook's Soothing Syrup. the best and safest now offered, as no bad effects ever oc- cur from using it. Mothers try one bottle, and in future you will get no other. Also Dr.. Seabrook's Elixir of Pyrophospbate of iron and Calasaya; also Dr. Bettison's Eng. Horse Liniment. and James Rnddle X Cos Ext. Jam. Ginger. All the above remedies are uneaualled; we cannot understand why their remedies might not as well be taken in the special diseases for which they are recom- mended, with as much confidence ss the pre- scription of regular physician.
