CITY NOTICES.

tnSiS . pay. IN nine years ne nuU con-
qnered 300 tribes, 500 cities slain over mil
lion of men, and taken as many prisoners
AFTER he had conquered the world, he enter
famed the whole Roman popnlace at twenty
three thousand tables, furnished with every
luxury. He made an artificial lake, for the
purpose OF showing the assemblage a sample
OF naval warfare. In modern warfare we read
OF the chances of being killed or wounded in
battle, and how different il is from what many
Of us suppose. Marshal Sake, of France,-a
hlgh authority in such things-was in the
habit OF saying that to kill man in battle the
mans weight in lead must be expended. A
French Medical and Surgical Gazette, publish
ed at Lyons, says the fact was verified at the
battle OF SolIerino, where, in the great i'm
proyement In firearms, the Austrians fired
elgnt thousand four hundred rounds the loss
10 the French and Italians was two thousand
Killed and over one thousand wounded. Each
man hit cost 700 rounds, and every man killed
cost 4, 200 rounds. The mean weight of n ball
Is one ounce. Thus we find that it required,
un an average, two hundred and seventy two
pounds of lead to kill man. If any of our
friends should get into military fight, they
should feel great comfort in the fact that seven
hundred shots may be fired at them before
they are hit and four thousand two hundred
before they are killed Ii has long been
matter of discussion whether the sword or the
pen had wrought the greatest changes in the
world. The sword, when welded with strength,
courage and skill, cuts deep the record of its
own proves, while the pen, in proper hands,
Is powerful instrument. But we would like
to know what would become Of either pen or
sword, writer or soldier on a right cold day
without comfortable boots on. It strikes us
that with the Thermometer below zero the ideas
which dropped from his shivering pen would
be somewhat akin to ioioles and, under like
circumstances, the warriors courage would
| probably freeze, and his rigid muscles fail to
WELD the keen blade with effect We see,
then, that boots and shoes have had some hand
in the affairs of the world Now, we do not
know that many literary or military characters
will read this advertisement, but we do know
that good boots and shoes are Just as neces-
sary to ordinary civilians as to either of the
others and as strangers coming to our city
/ would like to know where to get what they
need, on the best terms, we earnestly invite
them to call at G, Flanigen's boot and shoe
store, Sixth and Market streets, and see what
is there.

great boon, HEALTH, and they cannot be en-
joyed without it, And yet how little is it
valued, and how earelessly preserved The
laws of nature cannot be violated with i'm
punity. Night revelry, luxurious living, ire
gularity of meals, and disordered appetite,
will gradually destroy the power and activity
of the stomach. How many ladies and gentle
men eat and drink disease at late suppers and
arise in the morning with headache, loss of
, appetite, feeling languid and unrefreshed. -
There can be no medical remedy that will turn
lead into food or poisoned drinks into nulri
ment, but medical science can assist nature,
supply exhausted fluids, and to a great extent
correct the effects of disease In all cases such
