FEMALES, owing to the peculiar and important
relations which they sustain, their peculiar orgauiza
ton, and the offices they perform, are subject to
many sufferings. Freedom from these contribute in
no small degree to their happiness and welfare, for
nore can be happy who are ILL., Not only so, but no
one OF these vari us female complaints IN long be
suffered to run without involving the general
health fhe individual and are long producing per
m anent sickness and premature decline Nor is it
pleasant to consult physician for the relief OF these
various delicate affections, and only upon the most
urgent necessity will true woman so far sacrifice
her greatest charm to do this. The sex will then
thank for placing in their hands simple specifics
which will be found efficacous in relieving and cur
ing almost every one OF those troublesome complaints
peculiar to the sex.

+ a SwINDLE IN PHILADELPHIA.-At out
rageous stock swindle was perpetrated on
Monday on the young banking firm of Whe-
len & Brother, Third street, Philadelphia.
1t seems stranger to the firm attempted to
buy of them $1,000 in gold, for which he
offered check in payment. The delivery
of the gold on this, unless it was marked
good, was declined, when the buyer said it
was no matter as to the gold just now, but
he would leave an order to buy for him
$4,000 of Government bonds, to be delivered
at his office, No. ZIG Gold street. The
Messrs. Wheler & Brother bought the bonds
and sent them to the address named, where
the buyer received and examined them, and
saying 8" Yes, tkey are all right" put them
in pigeon-hole of case standing against
the partition to an adjoining room, closed
the door of the case, and begged the mes
senger to await moment and he would
give him the money. With this he passed
into the adjoining room, and at the latest
accounts had not returned. On investiga-
ton of the premises, it was discovered that
hole had been made in the partition oppo-
site to the 'pigeon-hole in the case into which
the bonds had been placed in presence of
the person who had delivered them. A
small door on hinges had been nicely fitted
into this hole, and through this the bonds
had been distracted and the fraud consum-
mated while the young gentleman who had
taken them to make the delivery thought he
had his property under his Immediate eye.

SAD ACCIDENT At THE ALLEgHANY
SpRrNGs.-A melancholy and fatal accident
occurred Monday evening near the ALLIE
phany Springs, by which Mr.. R. R.'stiles,
q son Of Rev. DR.. J. C. Stiles, Of Richmond,
met sudden and violent death. It ap-
pears that Mr.. Stiles, with party of
ladies' and gentlemen, had gone on an
excursion to the famous falls near the
Springs, and assembled tall tree over
looking an abrupt declivity. While boldly
and earelessly exhibiting his agility in
climbing (Mr. Stiles had served many
years in the navy, he caughta dead limb,
lost his hold, and was precipitated forty
feet down the rocks, sustaining dreadful
mutilations, which resulted in immediate
death. The body was with difficulty re-
covered and conveyed to the hotel, where
two sisters and the mother Of the unfortu-
nate young man were staying. The sad
intelligence not only plunged these ladies
into the deepest affection, but spread pro-
found gloom over the entire company.
Mr.. Styles was about thirty years of age,
twenty of which he had spent on the sea.
He was of quiet but prepossessing manners
and amiable disposition, and was possessed
of many attractive accomplishments. To
friend he expressed the opinion, last week,
that this would be his last visit to Virginia !;
that after this summer he would return to
California, and never expected to come back.
We sympathise deeply with the afflicted
relatives and friends to whom he has been
lost in the very bloom Of youth and vigor.-
