Important Certificate.

communicated by PHYSICIAN.
Some months ago l was called to attend lady
OF Williamsburg, n. Y, who had long been suf-
fering from troublesome uterine disease. Its
presence was marked by constant vaginal DIS
charge, something OF a watery consistency and
sometimes creamy and muco-purulent. She had
been under other treatment tor some time, but
constantly grew worse. Vaginal examination
disclosed extensive induratiOn and liberation of
the cerviX uteri. The uterine Inflammation which
was evidently assuming chronic form, was also
aggravated by long standing constipation, palp-
taton of the heart, night sweats, cough, poor ap-
petite and almost daily Paintings. She tainted
to entire insensibility duriug of my visits. l
commenced of course, by such active local treat
ment as the liberation demanded and then ap-
piled myself to recuperation of the general
health. 1t was inconvenient to see her frequent
ly, ard except 10 mark the healing OF the ulcers.
in the early stages visited her ouly every other
week. For tonic and constitutional invigorant
Dodd's NerYlne only was prescribed. L had
some time before become acquainted with its
properties, and knew of nothing more safe or sat
isfactory in its probable effects. And the result
completely justified my expectation. In less
than a fortnight the bowels had become free and
regular in their movements, the night sweatS dis
appeared, and appetite began TO grow. The
! fainting spells became less frequent, and soon
ceased altogether. In another fortnight there
was no more cough, the vaginal discharge was
sensiby diminishing, sleep was normal and re-
/ fresh,ng, and the general health decidedly i'm
/ proved w hat remains Is soon told. The patient

The REAsoN.-The reasons why
Barrett's Vegetable Hair Restorative
has a larger sale and is more popular
than any other, is simply because it
is the best.
The reasons it is the best are:
1t is more easily applied t
Its effects are more permanent.
1t contains no nitrate of silver or
other poisonous substances.
1t thoroughly cleanses the scalp of
all dirt, dandruff and other extraneous
substances.
1t does not gum the hair.
1t absolutely restores the hair to
its natural color, whether black or
brown. - ar- 4re-..,e sgd.
1t causes the hair to grow thick,
luxuriant and glossy, aa
1t is superb hair dressing.
1t is highly scented and does not
stain the scalp or linen. @
1t is not dye but a restorative.
These are the reasons why Barrett
is the best hair preparation in the
world, as well as the reasons why ev-
cry one should use Barrett's in pref

JUSTICE IN TROUBLE One of our
Justices of the peace( y got into lit
tie dispute with a Mr.. T in the
hotel, a few days ago, about some tri-
fling matter. Grievous words stirred
up anger. From words they came to
blows, and a small scrimmage was the
result. Had not the landlord inter-
-fered Mr.. T would have done the
aforesaid justice very severe injustice.

CHURCH REPAIRs.-The Congrega-

Of this has been finished off as a ves-
try, and the rest as a suite of Good
Templars' rooms, the best and most
convenient in the county. The walls
of the main audience room have been
dressed with hard finish, and the pews
uniformly carpeted and cushioned III

ions was about 5000. The outside
of the house has been thoroughly re

The AMERICAN FLAG IN PARAGUAY.
Mr. Charles A. Washburn. our ex-
minister to Paraguay, has written an
extraordinary letter to the Hon. Will
liam Stuart, British Minister to Blu
enOs Ayers, from which it appears that
when the ParaguayanS were about
eyacuating ASuncion, a number Of
persons, both natives and foreigners,
sought refuge at the American Lega-
ton. Among them were several Eng
lishmen, and Senior Pereira, the Por-
tugueSe consul, with his family. Pres
ident Lopez demanded that all these
refugees ohould be tnrnnd away Mr.
Washburn relates how one after an
other left his roof for an imprison-
ment which was little else than slave
ry. He did not turn them out; he
only read to them the order Of Lopez
and left them free to act as they saw
fit. At last the dictator demanded
two members of the Legation, Mr..
Porter G. Bliss of New York and Mr..
G. f. Masterman, should also be Civ
en- up to him. cat this point" says
/ Mr.. Washburn, Il made a stand. -
| We think it was time. 1t was but a
weak stand, however; and the way
our minister made it was to enter in
to long correspondence with Lopez
in order to gain time. At last the ..
5. steamer Wasp, which was to carry
Mr. Washburn home, arrived at As
uucion. Will our readers believe it =?
the minister of the United States
went on board and allowed the two
attaches to be taken by force from his
side as they started to go with aim !;
and so he steamed away, leaving them
to the certainty of an awful fate at
the hands of an enraged dictator, max
ing no effort whatever to save them,
taking no steps to vindicate the out
ragged sanctity of his office Or avenge
this insult to our national honor. An
American squadron was lying idle in
the Brazilian waters; but Mr.. Wash
burn sneaked home like a coward.
By this time we have a new minis
ter III Paraguay, and man, if we are
not mistaken: of very different stamp.
Gen. Mcmahon has been too good a
soldier to brook such outrages pa
tientIy, and while he is at the capital
of Lopez, that ruler will be taught to
behave with at least a decent show
of respect toward the United States
But the president should at once de
mand the release of the prisoners ia
ken from the legation, and prompt
PREPARATION for the insult to our flag
and he should send a sufficient nava
force to give his demand unmistaka
BILE emphasis. We are not in the
habit Of suffering such wrongs, and dc
not mean to be patient under them

heart of a widow to that extent her
whole soul yearned for him, the twain
proceeded to a justice of the peace for
the purpose of receiving the finishing
touch to their desires. But alas, the
justice had been forbidden by Mr..
Montgomerys son to tie the nuptial
knot, as he alleged his father had a
wife living in New Hampshire. Not
to be thwarted in his matrimonial at
tempts by an intermeddling son, he
went to Glover with his (e)spouse.-
There being several clergymen in the
place, the son was unable to give them
all timely notice of his dads mormon
