YER'S SARSAPARILLAv
FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD.

The reputation this excellent medicine enioyss.
is derived from ite cures many of which are truly
marvellous. InTeterate cases of Serofulous dis
case, where the system seemed saturated with
corruption, havo been purified and cured by it.
Scrofulous affections and disorders which were
aggravated by the scrofUlous contamination until
they were painfully affecting, have been radical
ly cured in such great numbers in almost every
section of the country, that the public scarcely
need to be informed of its virtues or uses
Scrofulods poison is one OF the most destructive
enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and un--
felt tenant of the organism undermines the con-
stituton, and invites the attack of enfeebling or
fatal diseases, without exciting suspicion of its
presence Again, it seems to breed infection
throughout the body, and then, on some favora-
bic occasion, rapidly develops into one other of
its hideoIs forms either on the surface among
the Vitals. In the latter, tubereles may be sud-
denly deposited in the lungs heart, or tumors.
formed in the liver, OF 1t shows its presence by
rdptions the skin, or foul ulee tions on some
part of the body. Hence the occasional use of q
bottle of this Sarsaparlla is advisable even when
no active symptoms of disease appear. Persons
afflicted with the following complaints generally
find mmedIate relief and, at lsngth, cure, by the
of this Sarsaparilla ST. Anthony S Fire, Rose
or Erysipelas letter, Salt Rheum, Seald Head

tions visible forms of ScrofuloGs disease Also
in the more concealed FORMS as Dyspepsia Drop4
sy, Heart Disease, Fits, Epilepsy, Neuralgia and
the various Ulcerous affections of the muscular
and nervous systems.
Syphilis or Venerea and Mercurial Diseases are,
cured by II, though long time is required for
subduing these obstinate maladies by any medi-.
cine. But long continued of this medicine
will cure the complaint. Leucorrhoea or w hites
Uterine Uleerations; and Female Diseases. are
commonly soon relieved and ultimately cured by
its purifying and inyigOrating effect Minute Di-
rections for each case are found in our Almanac
supplied gratis. Rheumatism and Gout, when
caused by accumulatons of extraneous matters in
the blood yield quickly to it, also Liver Com
plants, Torpidity, Congestion or Inflammation Of
the Liver, and Jaundice, when arising as they of
ten do, from the ranking poisons in the blood
This sSARSAPARILLA IS great restorer for the
strength and vigor of the system. Those who are
Languid and Listless, Despondent, Sleepless, and
troubled with Nervous Apprehensions or Fears,
any of the affections symptomatie of Weakness,
will find immediate relief and convincing evil

A CORRESPONDENT physician residing
In Andover-relates the following account
OF remarkable instance of canine sagaci-
ty: "On Wednesday of this week, was
called to see patient living some distance
from town. During my visit daughter of
the sick woman drove up, whsreupon her
husband exclaimed, The dog did reach
her after all F! On asking for an explana-
ton, he told me, that having no one to
send for his daughter, he had sent off at
noon on tha' same day, his little black and
tan terrier dog, with note fastened to his
neck, simply saying to him, Go, sir, to
Elmira's.' At three o'clock, the little fell
low arrived at the daughters house, having
travelled distance of seven miles over an
exceedingly difficult and tortuous route.
The daughter recognized the dog. read the
note, and reached her mothers house at 5
o'clock"

Troubles OF q Son OF Mrs. Hemans at

A late letter from Paris has this para
graph:
Some years ago, Mr.. Charles Hemans,
son of the poet, stepped from the Church
Of England to that Of Rome, and also ex.
changed England for Rome as his place of
residence. There he was made much of
by the ecclesiastics, and became favorite
with the hierarchy, on account of his per-
sonal exceilencies, and besought of the
English for his aid as an intelligent
guide. He knew everything about Rome,
aud could 60 everywhere in Rome. A short
time ago Mr.. Hemans went back to the
Anglican Church, but still remained in
Rome. The other day he accompanied q
party to the entrance of one of the cata.
combs. There he was tapped on the shoul-
der. drawn aside and informed BY the
c,lstode that he had orders never again to
admit him TO the catacombs. MI. He.

which has passed muster with the Papal
censor, has been suppressed by the infalli-

Peter, and condescends to salt. peter. The
decision of the censor has been reversed,
and all the copies of the book on hand at
the shops have been carried to tae Vatican

Here is q sprightly bit of fashionable
gossip. Pierre Bonaparte has become IA
nous for marrying a saddler's daughter
and shooting an offensive editor. The first
act was regarded as a noble piece of hero
ism on his part. A certain young foreign
gentiem man residing in this sdty has fur
nished almost parallel to Pierre Bona
parties honorable conduct toward a sad
dier's daughter The story is this: The
young gentleman was walking down
Pennsylvania avenue about three or four
weeks ago, enjoying pleasant promenade
along our Washington Broadway, when
his attention was suddenly attracted by
very pretty girl standing in the doorway of
shoe store Our hero was fascinated in
simultaneously. 1t was literally love at
first sight On pretence of making some
purchases in the leather line, he entered
the store, engaged in conversation with
the maiden, and discovered she was the
daughter of the proprietor. Our hero
found excuses for making subsequent visits
to the store, and finally the parents of the
girl, noticing this marked attention TO

u rank was too great to admit of proper
a addresses, politely informed him that they
would prefer him to discontinue his calls.
The young gentleman, with an unexpected
manliness and evident sincerity, told the
parents that his intentions were honorable
to the last degree; that he loved the daugh-
ter devotedly, and that, though their
respective stations differed widely,
an arrangement could be made which,
he hoped, would prove satisfactory
TO both sides. He told the father
that his child was yet young enough to be
thoroughly educated and fitted for any
station in life, and that if he would con-
sent, he, the young gentleman, would have
the girl sent to one of the best academies
In the country, there to be instructed in
all the accomplishments and requirements
desirable. The young gentleman also
offered to give solemn pledge that he
would never visit the young lady at the

AN EXCITING SCENE.
Desperate Encounter with n Whale I'm

Proyincetowp Cor of the Yarmouth Register

Two fright" whales were discovered in
the barbor about O'Clock Monday after
noon last. The cry of "there she blows r
was soon repeated along the shore. directly
followed by hasty manning of whale boats
and hurrying into them the weapons and
gear for chase and capture. Some half
dozen boats equipped and manned with
SIX men, each soon started in pursuit
After chase Of about three-quarters of an
hour, the whales the while deftly eludino
their pursuers by soundings and irregular
spoutings, boat steered by Mr.. George
Smith and "headed" by Mr.. Archibald
McCurdy, both experienced whalemen.
was run upon the broadside of one of them,
and McCurdy, to use his phrase, sssent his
iron home to the seizing into her bilge."
Inc scene now became exciting to the
actors, and hundreds of spectators who
were witnessing the proceedings from the
town. The wind at the time was blowing
gale from the north, and 50 cold that the
spray froze as it few. The whale ran
sharply now to windward, now to leeward,
then following the shoal water back and
forth along the west end of the harbor the
loose whale all the time keeping close COM
pany with his wounded mate, and the sea
spray enveloping the crew, and at times
obscuring the boat from view. The enrag-
ed whale in her frantic career, poised upon
her nose. and elevating her fukes 20 feet
above water, would again and again strike
fearfully for her invisible foe.
Every attempt to haul up and lance was
met by her fukes just clear of the boat.
Thus the contest continued without much
change OF maneuvre or advantage gained
by either antagonist, Until about half-past
5 p. m, when the whale succeeded in de-
livering the boat slight blow with her
tail, knocking off the head of the stern
post, breaking the steering oar into sever
al pieces. and filling her to the thwa-ts
with water. Another boat near at hand
took her tow line, but after q short time.
the whale still lighting and preventing anv
near approach, and night setting in, the
harpooner reluctantly cut the line and let
her go. Her wound is thought to be NOR |
tai, as she bled profusely, and 1t is expect
ed she may be picked up in few days in
The bay.
The crew of the crippled boat on reach
ing the shore were completely encased in |
ice, enveloping even the head Of Mr.. Smith |
who had lost his hat. Several of the 9TH |
or crews were badly frost-bitten.

HEAD MoNEY.-The New York Legisla-
ture has under consideration bill reducing
the commutation or head money on emf
grants entering New York, from 50. SO to
81. 90 passenger. The Commissioners of
Emigration. it is asserted, have, during
the last eight years, accumulated fund of
$S, 600, 900. besides paying all expenses
and demands upon them. The head money
is intended to guarantee the city and state
of New York against the able-bodied emi-
grants becoming burden on the public
Special bonds are given in the case OF weak
and disabled emigrants. 1t is argued that
the State should not levy o heavier tax
than is needed to secure it from imposition,
wniie. on the other hand, it is proposed,
while retaining the present rate, to draw
from the annual amount of head money
the expenses of quarantine and the Marine
Hospital.
