BURGLARY.-On last Thursday
night some burglariously inclined
wretch entered our office and attempted
to enter our safe. The scape-grace
never succeeded in entering the safe,
but he did us more damage, perhaps,
than if be had, for he broke the lock
so badly that it cost us several dollars
to have it repaired, and if he had
opeDed The door, he wouldn't have
found much mcney. We never keep
money in our safe,-our debtors wont
trust us with il. We do think that of
all the outrages within the province Of
burglars, that of attempting % rob q

the objectionable sin of the science Of
burglary, and, really, if Ne ever find
out who the fellow was, we sh2l! lose
all manner of respect for him. Fol

will give him all the money there was

Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and CONSUMPTION.


Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine has any thing won SO widely and SO
deeply upon the confidence Of mankind, as this
excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints.
Through long series of years, and among most
of the races of men it has risen higher and higher
in their estimation, as it has become better known.
Its uniform character and power to cure the va
rous affections of the lungs and throat have
made it known as a reliable protector against
them. While adapted to milder forms of disease
and to young children, it is at the same time the
most e6ectual remedy that can be given for incip-
lent consumption, and the dangerous affections
of the throat and lungs. AS n provision against
sudden attacks of Group, 1t should be kept on
hand in every family, and indeed as all are some.
times subject to colds and coughs all should be
provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
durable, still great numbers of cases where the
disease seemed settled, have been completely
cured, and the patient restored to sound health
by the CHERRY Pectorot. So complete is its
mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and
Threat that the most obstinate of them yield to it.
When nothing else could reach them, under the
Che,1y Pect0raE they subside and disappear.
SINGERS and Public Speakers find great
protection from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Cherry Pccf0rdI in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known, that we
need not publish the certificates of them here, or
do more than assure the public that its qualities
are fully maintained.
