that the public scarcely need to be informed of
it's virtues or uses.
Scrofulous poison is one ofthe most destruc-
tive enemies of our race. Often, this unseen
and unfelt tenant Of the organism undermines
the constitution, and invites the attack of en-
feeblng or fatal diseases, without exciting q
suspicion of it's presence. Again it seems to
breed infection throughout the body and then,
on some favorable occasion, rapidly develop
into one or other Of its hideous FORMS either
on the surface or among the vitals. In the
latter, tubercles may be suddenly deposited in
the lungs or heart, or tumors formed in the
liver, or it shows it's presence by eruptions on
the skin. or foul alterations on some part of
of this SARSAPARILLA is advisable, even
when no active symptoms of disease appear
Persons afflicted with the following complaints
generally find immediate relief, and at length
cure, by the use OF this .S.4 RSA PA RILLA: 81.
AnMonys Fire, Rose or Ei.ysipelas, Tette,, Salt
Meum, Scdd Head, Rin0,rorn,, Sore Eyes,
Sore Ears and other eruptions or visible forms
OF Scrofulous disease. Also, in the more con-
ease, FITS, Epilepsy, Neuralgia and the various
CicerouS affections of the muscular and ncrv-
GUS stems.
Syphilis or Tenereal and Afercurial Diseases
are cured by it, though along time is required
for eubdung these obstinate maladies by any
medicine, Butlong continued use of this me-
dicne will cure the complaint. Leuccr7hGa or
lhaes, Uterine Ulcerdtions, and Female Dis
eases, are commonly soon relieved and ulti
matcly cured by it's purifying and invigorating
effect Minute directions in each Gaze are found
and Gout, when caused by accumulations OF
extraneons matters in the blood, yield quickly
to it, as also Licer Complaints, TorpidHy, Con-
gestton or Inflammation OF the Liuer and JDun-
dice. when arising, as they often do, from the
rinkling poisons in the blood. This SARSA.
fAR!LLA is a great restorer for the strength
and vigor OF the system. Those who arc Lam
guid and L,stless, Despondent, .2eepless and
troubled with Nervous Apprehensions or Fears,
or any OF the affections symptomatic OF Weak
ness, will find immediate relief and convincing
evidence OF it's restorative power upon trial.

IM~rSsE CAVE DISCOVERED ,r MINERAL lTfIr.
From j. X. Sui;crl"y, who returned yesterday
from Mineral Hill, we learn that an immense
limestone cave was discovered in u mountain
two miles south Of that place. The principal
cave Is about two hundred feet ia length and
about fifty feet in width and hight. Tho
sides, floor and roof are literally studded with
stllaciitcs formed from the dHppiugs Of water
from overhead. From the n50r Of the lnain
cave there is a narrow pa,sagr-wuy which
leads down into a second cave not 50 large AS
the first, Int which is very similar to il in gen
eral appearance. The lower cave had not
been fully explored Mt tho time Mr.. Suttcrl.y
left, and its further examination may reveal
now suh''rrIurnu wonders still more rrmarl.n-
bic than those already discovered.

New York, Sept. 10.-A Scranton
dispatch says thar Mr.. Hughes is quite
satisfied that 10 more bodies remain
below, aud IN this opinion he is en-
d0rsed By the best authorities. New
ertheless, to satisfy everybody, the
work Of search. though temporarily
stopped for more thoroughly ventilat-
ing, will be carried en- again to- NOR
row, with additional gangs of men,
and every possible nook and corner
will be explored. The funeral
Of 43 miuers to day. vas an event of
unusual impressiyeness A solemn
requium was toHed by the city bells,
flags were hung at half-mast, stores
were closed. the principal streets were
deserted, the numerous locomotives
were dFaped IN mourning, and all the
working population of Scranton ap-
peared to have betaken themselves to
Ayondale. One train of thirty seven
platform cars carried 3. 800 passengers
to the scene OF the late disaster. So
great was the rush that two men were
knocked off the cars and cut to pieces.
The throng at Ay0ndale was immense
and reached down the railroad tracks
for miles. A vast majority Of those
present came purely from motives of
curiosity. There. were hundreds of
women dressed in costumes more be.
fitting a picnic than a funeral, aud
among many of the men there was a
levity and rudeness Of manners better
adapted to the neighborhood of a
prize ring than a solemn scene oFsuch
great grief. A great deal Of contro-
versy IS goirg On In town on The qucs-
ton of who IS to blame for the pres
ent inefficient way of ventilating mines
aud giving protection to the miners.
One side insists it is the miners who
ore to blame, for if they choose to say
we will not work in any mine wRich
is unprovided with means of escape 10
case of accident to the shaft, the own
ers of the mines would quickly see it
was their interest to adopt the proper
precautions against the dangers that
arc now so apparent. Miners, they
say, will take the risk of working
anywhere, provided they are paid, and
are as utterly Indifferent to palpable
danger as the sailor who goes to sea
in a leaky ship.
