PMpLEs, ERUPrloNs, ROUGH SKIN
The system being put under the IN,
fluence of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery for a few weeks, the skin be-
comes smooth, clear, soft and velvety,
and being illuminated with the glow OF
nertect health from within, true beauty
stands forth in all its glory. Nothing
ever presented to the public as beautl-
fer Of the complexion ever gave such
satls action for this purpose as this
Discovery. The effects ofall medicines
which operate upon the system through
the medium OF the blood are necessarily
somewhat slow, no matter how good
the remedy employed. While one to
three bottles clear the skin OF plmples,
blotches, eruptions, yellow spots, come
dones or "grubs." dozen may possibly
be required to cure some cases where
the system is rotton with scrofulous or
yirulent diseases, however; from the
common plmple to the worst scroiuIa, Is
with the use of this most potent agent,
only a matter OF time. Sold by all
druggists.

POLICE CoURT.-There was not the
agreeable variety in the cases before
the Police Court yesterday that we
would have liked to have had present
as greeting to Judge Rogers on his
assumption Of the ermine OF a police
judge. However, it was the best that
could be done under the circumstances
On the night of the 18th of August,
just after John Frasure was stopped
while on his way to Pittsburgh and re-
turned to this city against his will, he
was very indignant at his detention and
swore good deal and made some noise.
He was arrested on Tuesday last for his
disorderly conduct. Yesterday be was
fined 81 and costs.
William Griffith was arrested after
Squire Hammer got through with him,
on Tuesday, on charge OF disorderly
conduct in the Fifth ward market
house on last Saturday night. He was
fined S and costs

WOULDN'T SrIcK.-Mrs. Mary j.
Mcdonald made cath bee Squire
Launder that Thomas Piles had called
her insulting names and reviled her
all against the peace and dignity Of the
State of West Virginia. A warrant
was issued for Piles arrest and he was
taken before the Justice last evening
When the truth of the matter came
out on the examination the charge
wouldn't stick and the suit was dis
missed at the cost of Mrs. Mcdonald.

Nor Our YEr.-We were informed
last night that the fire in the Belmont
coal bank was not entirely extinguished
though it is under complete control,
and it is probable that the coal diggers
will be at work again to-day. Some
very elegant coke has been made there
during the burning, but we doubt if
Nick Reister will ever recommend to
others to have fire in a coal bank as
way to make coke. 1t takes too
much labor, don't you understand, to
get the fire put out.

A NICE STATE OF AFFAIRS. For the
past two days postal matters have been
delicious middle, owing to the won-
derful efficiency and economy Of the
Postmaster General Cresswell. He has
taken the idea into his jackassical nog,
gin that because the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne and Chicago trains and those Of
the Pittsburgh and Cleveland road run
over the same track from Rochester to
Pittsburgh, and because the trains Of
each road carry the mail over that
twenty-six miles OF road, that the Post
office Department has been paying t"o
prices for the one job of work. He
therefore has ordered that all the mail
from Pittsburgh over that twenty-six
miles OF road shall be carried as far
Rochester by the Fort Wayne
road, and that portion for
points down the river is to be taken
from the Cleveland and Pittsburgh
road. This is all very well and would
be nice if the mail matter was at
Rochester when the Cleveland and
Pittsburg trains come along. As it
happens, though the mail from Pitts
burgh for Wheeling and intermediate
points does not reach Rochester until
the Cleveland and Pittsburgh road has
been gone from there an hour and a
half. The consequence is that the
through letters and papers due here yes
terday at noon won't get here until noon
to-day, much to the dissatisfaction Of
our business men and others concerned.
The new arrangement is calculated to
bear pretty rough on the Pittsburgh
newspapers. People down this way
have very little use for them q day or
two after publication. This mixed up
state of affairs has been in existence for
two days DOW, and if the sapient Post
master General don't make change
he'll hear some good loud swearing.

BOTTLES FULL OF BEAUTY.-Lsdies,
if you would have beauty by the bottle
full, all you have to do is to purchase
Hagan's Magnolia Balm. That peer
less beautifier of the complexion not
only heightens natural charms, but rem.
ders even the plainest countenance ex-
ceedingly attractive. 1t recalls to the
paid cheek the rosy tinge OF health, re-
moves pimples, blotches, pimples,
roughness, sallowness and other blem-
ishes, and imparts TO the skin q mos:
delicate fairness and softness. 1t
smooths the burrows caused by time or
care, and gives face, neck and arms the
plump and engaging appearance Of
youthful beauty. All this is accom-
plished by the most natural means, viz ::
BY gently and naturally stimulating the
circulation in the capillary blood YES.
sels Besides being the most effectual
aid to beauty known to modern science.

The Boar RACE.-The boat race

The Boar RAcE.-The boat race to
come off on Saturday week, between
Dixie" Kennedy, Of Benwood, and
John Hagner, of this city, is attracting
more than ordinary attention, and as
the day draws near the excitement is
becoming more and more intense. Ken
uedy received his skiff yesterday morn
ing and will at once 60 into training.
Hagner is already in good trim, and it
seems certain that both men will be in
splendid order on the day Of the race.
As we have been frequently asked to
give the fastest recorded time for q
single scull four mile race, we have en-
deavored to do 30, but can only find the
following: In 1868, Walter Brown,
Pittsburgh, made five miles, turning
a stakeboat in 81 minutes, 2S4 seconds.
In 1859, Joseph Ward, Staten Island,
made five miles, turning stakeboat in
IS minutes, 10 seconds. In 1861, Jas.
Hamill, Philadel phia, made three miles,
turning a stakeboat in % minutes, q
seconds. In 1866, Walter Brown,
Worcester, Mass, made two miles, turn
ing a stakeboat in Is minutes, Is Sec
onds. On dead water, at Tyne, Eng
land, James Hamill made three miles
rs yards in 81 minutes, Al seconds.
The three miles were made in Is min
utes, 81 seconds. These, as we have
said, were all single scull races. Taking
the time of these professionals, and
considering the fact that the course
over which Hagner and Kennedy are
to row has some pretty swift water,"
and that they are amateurs, we shall
look for them to make the four miles
in between sc and 40 minutes. The
parties meet on Saturday to make the
final deposit of stakes and arrange for
the appointment of judges, referee, DC.
If the day be fair there will be an i'm
mepse concourse Of people on the river
bank to witness the struggle.

DELlGHTFUL.-What a nice and COM
Portable thing the prickly-heat is.
How one enjoys the luxury of scratch
when his back is peppered all over
with the pesky eruption. But oh how
inexpressably delightful it is to wake
up, alone, in the dead Of night, with
the perspiration pouring down your
face at the rate OF a bucketful minute
and have your back itch just beyond
the reach ofyour anxious fingers. Oh,
that is nice! We know. Been there.

FUNERAL OF DENNIS BENNETT. Den.
MS Bennett, whose sudden death we
noticed on Tuesday, was buried yester-
day. The statement that it would be
necessary to bury him at the county's
expense was incorrect. When Justice
Launder took charge Of his effects but
six dollars were found, and this, it was
thought, was all the money he had.
1t turned out, though, that he had suf-
ficie.t funds in the hands OF the Bishop
to pay the expenses Of his interment.

September 2S the Day.
Your Tickets Now or Never.

THE VAST SALES OF TICKETS Az
ready made, and the increasing demand
for them from all quarters having deter
mined the Trustees that the Grand Gift
Concert for the benefit of the Public Library
OF Kentucky, advertised for Saturday. Sep
TENDER 2s, 1872, shall positively come off on
that day without pOstponement, the man
agement now notifies all who expect TO
participate in the drawing that they should
buy their tickets at once. Delay for few
days caused many who wanted tickets at
the concert in December last to go without
them. Some living in Louisville waited
until sales were closed expecting, no doubt,
postponement. and then offered fifteen.
twenty end even twenty-five dollars for
tickets which the day before were offered to
purchasers ut the regular price. Others
living at distance sent thousands OF dol
lars by mail and express. which got here
after sales were closed, and had to be sent
back. These disappointments need not
occur again II the warning now given In
due season Is needed.
The drawing will begin precisely at six
o'clock saturday morning, September q,
1872, in the great hall OF the Public Library
building, and continue until the one thou
sand gifts are all drawn.
