LiIIard's Pharmacy.

II. has not been many months since Mr..
Benz Lillard's established his Pharmacy,
Northwest corner Of Cedar and Cherry
streets. A graduate Of one Of the frat
schools Of Pharmacy in the United States,
possessing keen, investigating mind,
and devoted TO his profession, he has in
that short time attained by his snccess,
an enviable reputation, and won the con-
fdence and esteem Of the medical frater-
nifty. Prescriptions compounded by him,
orany preparation from his laboratory may
be relied upon in all cases. He employs
none but the purest drugs and medicines
and compounds then iuteliigently.
In his researches, Mr. Lillard mas dis
covered a preparation, of incslculsble
benefit to the human species. 1t is a
destroyer Of the bed bug, to which he has
given the name of Cemicade. His treatise
upon the subject Of this tormentor OF the
household, is exceedingly interesting
and proves that he is close thinker and
student of nature. The cemicade is whsl
he claims for it, bed bug destroyer. III

witnessed the closing exercises of lis 96tl

SINGULAR CASE OF INSANITY. short
time since a German woman arrived at
Hoboken, N. J., on a Bremen steamer,
with her husband and child, the latter a
little girl of five years. While the
steamer was running up the bay a gun
was fired, and the woman being near the
gun at the time, not expecting anything
of the kind, the shock and conclusion
produced insanity She imagines that
some one wants to shoot her child, and
is continually devising measures for its
safety and protection. On several Occa-
sions she has wandered away from her
home, taking the girl with her, but they
had always been found and restored un-
til Thursday, when she wandered away
and got separated from her child, which
cannot now be found. The unfortunate
woman has been sent to an asylum.

A Nashville Boy In Print.

In a recent number of the Providence
(R. II Press, we find in connection
with the proceedings OF the commenc'
ement exercises at Brown University
at that place, a complimentary notice
of James H. Shankland, son of our
fellow. citizen, A. B. Shankland, who was
one of the speakers of the day. That pa
per says:
Mr.. Shankland, in the introduction Of
his address, dwelt upon the power with
which hope rules over human thought and
action. In referring to the close of college
life, and the separation of the class, he
spoke as follows:
"We are now upon the eve of departure
from these scenes which has become al
most as familiar to US as the homes of our
boyhood. 1t is hardly enough to say that
the days we have passed here have passed
happily. We cannot realize as we stand
here to-day how strong are the associations
we have formed during our residence at
college. Bright hopes of the future are
before our eyes, and we do not look back
to what ia past. Now we can turn TO catch
only the first echo from the memory of the
days that are gone.
il we are to credit the testimony of
those who have preceded us, and whose
experience mist be the type of our own,
this has been the hsppiest period of our
lives. But we are eager TO try our fortunes
out in the world. Tis the restless desire
which hope ever stimulates man to higher
and nobler endeavor. To remain satisfied
with the present would be an effectual
check TO all improvement. Thus it is that
while We feel a sadness at the thought Of
separation, we yet do not know the full
force of the associations of the past four
years. Years hence the many happy col
lege scenes through which We have passed
may recur to us with viyidness that shall
awaken the most eager longing to be back
in these academic halls"
At this point be drew pleasant and fan
cifnl sketch of the appearance at future
class day Of member of the Senior class
at that time, and his sire, a venerable
member of the class of ''si1ty-nine," re-
calling the scenes Of the day, and con-
Guiding that the sketch might, after all,
become a reality.
