Ayers Sarsaparilla,
FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD.

The reputation this ex-
~ cellent medicine enjoys,

Ss5E-$a purified and cured by il.
Scrofulous affections and
disorders, which were az
gravated by the scrofu-
1ous contamination until
they were painfully affecting, have been radically
cured in such great numbers in almost every sec-
ton of the country that the public scarcely need
be informed of its virtues or uses.
ScrOfulOuS poison is one Of the most destructive
enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and unfelt
tenant OF the organism undermines the constitution,
and invites the attack Of enfeeblng fatal Diseases
without exciting suspicion of its presence. Again,
IL seems to breed infection throughout the BODY and
then, on some favorable occasion rapidly develop
into one or other of its hdeous FORMS either the
surface or among the vitals. In the latter, tubar-
cles may be suddenly deposited in the lungs or
heart, or tumOrs formed in the liver, or it shows
its presence by eruptons on the skin foul nicer
sional use of a bottle of this SarsapariIo is adj

appear. Persons afflicted with the following COM

A SAD CASE.

One of the saddest cases of the terri-
bic doings of rum came accidently to
our knowledge yesterday. AS we were
passing up Dearborn street we observed
a miserable looking man staggering I'M
der load of rum, at the corner of Mad
ison street. His clothing was dirty and
ragged. His boots had been worn out
some time ago, and were only held to-
gethel in places. A slouched hat, long
since unfit for wear, was the covering Of
his head. AS we approached near him
we observed that he was an old ac-
quaintance, but that in his besotted
condition of drunkenness land it was
not yet ten o'clock in the morning) he
did not recognize us at all. Upon near
inspection we observed that he was
without a shirt. He staggered along
the street, and down Dearborn, to a
place where rum is sold, went in, and
taking chair, soon became lost to his
surroundings in a stolid condition of
complete intoxication. We have not
seen more complete wreck in many
years, and doubt whether there is in
the whole city of Chicago a single man
who, seen on the street, would be taken
as more thorough representation OF
drunkenness-of the gutter--than this
poor, shirtless, abject man. Ten years
ago we knew that man, popular and
prominent member Of the Legislature OF
one of our great Northwestern States.
Soon after we met him in the great Chi
cago Wigwam of 1860, a member Of
the convention which first nominated
Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency.
Again we met him, some two years af-
forward, in the city of Washington,
where he had much influence with the
delegation from his State. He went
into the staff department Of the army
some time during the war, and imme-
tiately after its close made some for
iunate speculations, by which. he be-
came rich man. But about two years
ago he entered into speculations which
turned out badly, and he was swamped
in business. He is the husband of an
intelligent, cultivated lady, and the
father of children who, few years ago,
were as happy as any now living on
Wabash avenue Chicago Post. q.

! Salem, August 25.-At the session to-
day of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science, resolutions
were adopted expressing the earnest de-
sire of the association that the Interna-
tional Statistical Congress will decide to
make the United States it's place of
meeting at an early day. A resolution
was also adopted that the association
cordially approved the proposed adap-
tation of American coinage to the metric
system by making the value of the dol
lar precisely that of Il grain OF fine
gold. Among other papers read in the
various sections was one by Professor E.
B. Elliott, who followed this with q
paper on the laws Of trade, wherein he
considered the laws of production and
consumption, with their intermediate
agencies, and the amount of revenue
that would accrue under given circum-
stances. Another paper was presented
by Mr.. Felix Foncon on the construction
of three maps of Europe, France and
North America on a gynomonic projec-
tion, with a view to the distribution of
mineral wealth and the study of the
earth's figure. Professor Varder Weyde
also read paper claiming that electri-
city is not self-existent fluid but a
mode of motion, AM that matter is he
cessary to its transmission through a
vacuum. fit

The positions of the above named
corps were fixed. About twelve hours
were spent in the work, the travelling
being done in wagons and on foot.
About 100 stakes We're driven at impor-
tant points. Some of the most intri-
cate questions, about which there had
been variant opinion, were definitely
settled. The places where Generals
Sickles, Hancock, and Graham were
wounded, and others killed, were de-
| siguated. The only spot where men
| were killed with bayonets on either side
to any extent was carefully examined
and marked. .e..s

rails, and other Officers who participa-
ted in the battle in the woods, fields
and hillsides on the grounds examined
to-day, were present on the occasion.
! Several artists for illustrated newspa-
/ pers have been taking sketches for the
last two days. Gen Hall, of the Sec
ond Maine, has fixed the position of his
battery, which opened the battle on the
first day, to the right of the barn on the
front ridge, between the Cashtown road
/ and the railway cut.
/ A number of officers who participated
in the first two days fight left here this
morning, the several positions of their
commands having been fixed. The
general lines Of the third days battle
will be staked tomorrow. .,.lf

A BRAVE WOMAN Mrs Eliza Colv

! A BRAVE WoMAN.-Mrs. Eliza Colyer,
q widow lady living near Apple, H.,
killed wildcat few nights since under
circumstances which showed her to be a
woman of remarkable nerve. The house
dog was making good deal of noise
back Of the garden, and on going out to
Investigate she saw something jumping
from tree to tree. She returned to the
house for Lantern, and went back to the
grove, when she found that the animal
which proved to be wildcat of the
largest species--had engaged the dog In
combat, but Immediately on seeing the
light released itself from the dog and
made a spring for Mrs. Col no had,
upon starting from the house second
time, armed herself with broken-tined
Ipitchfork. When the animal sprang.
the lady assumed position known in
military language as guard against in
fantry,' and in alighting the warmth
found himself impaled on the broken
tine of the fork, which had entered the
creatures throat and penetrated the
skull, infiicting a mortal wound
