for their protection and relief, when required.
Long experience has proved them to be tho SAT.
est, surest, and best Of all the Pilis with which
the market abounds. By their occasional use,
tenn expelled, distractions removed, and the
whole machinery of life restored to It's healthy
activity Internal organs which become clogged
and sluggish are cleansed by Aper's Pttis, and
stimulated into action. Thus incipent disease
is changed into health, the value Of which change,
when reckoned on the vast multitudes who enjoy
1t, can hardly be computed. Their sugar coating
makes them pleasant to take, and preserves their
virtues unimpaired for any length Of time. SO
that they are ever fresh, and perfectly reliable.
Although searching, they are mild, and operate
without disturbance TO the constitution, or diet, or
occupation.
Full directions are given on the wrapper to
each box, how to use them as Family Physic,
and for the following complaints, which these
PilIs rapidly cure:-
ness, LssnguOr and Loss Of Appetite, they
should be taken moderately to stimulate the stom-
ach, and restore its healthy tone and action.
For Liver Complaint and Its various symp'
toms, Bilious Headache, Sick Head.

iOus Collie and Bilious Fevers, they should
be judciously taken for each case, to correct tho

For Dysentery or DiarrhOea, but ono

For rheumatism, GOut, Gravel, Pal.
pifatiOn of the Heart, Pain I'm tho

uously taken, as required, to change the diseased
action of the system. With such change those

promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels, restores the appetite, and invigorates the

no serious arrangement exists. One who feels
tolerably well, often finds that dose OF these
PilIs makes him feel decidedly better, from their
cleansing and renovating effect on the digestive
apparatus.

EXPLOSION OF FIVE POWDER MILLS N
Omo-GREAT DESTRUCTION AND Loss OF
LlFE.-Sp1'tnafeld, Ohio, February 5.-Fiye
powder mills belonging to the Miami Pow
der Company, and located between Xenia
and Yellow Springs, on the Little Miami
railroad, exploded at 10 O'Clock this morn
ing. Several men were killed. and another
is missing. The ground is strewn with tim.
hers and debris for half mile. At Yellow
Springs hundreds of windows were denol-
ished. This city was considerably shaken.
and the inhabitants ran into the streets
in great alarm. The names of the per-
sons killed by the explosion are Nero
Ballard, Robinson White, and colored
man named Conley. The latter was blown
into fragments. Nothing could be found
of him but portion Of his head and trunk.
The shock was distinctly felt at Dayton, Ur-
bana, and Xenia. The amount Of loss has
not been ascertained. Hundreds of citizens
are hurrying to the scene of the disaster and
rendering all possible assistance. Duncany,
colorcd man, is so terribly lacerated that
his death is momentarily expected. Search
is being made among the ruins for more
workmen, some of whom are missing. The
bodies of the dead are shockingly mutilated
and burned. A brick house, standing more
than mile distant, had the windows COM
pletely blown out, and was otherwise dam
aged. Great excitement prevailed. -..

THE DIAMoND-TooTHED-SAw QUARRY1SG
MAcHINE.-One Of the most noteworthy Won
ders of this prolific age of invention is a
Observation-Disclosures quarIying machine, re-
Gently perfected by Vermont stone-workers,
that bears the same relation to the wealth Of
the quarry that the saw-mill does to the pro-
ducts of the forest. This ingenious contri-
vance, which has been thoroughly tested at
the place of invention the past autumn, after
three years Of patient experiments by the ill.,
ventols, is now on exhibition in this city,
where it is satisfactorily accomplishing all
that is claimed for it. The main features
are simple, and consist of q straight saw
armed with diamond points moving back
and forth through the stone, with drills
working vertically to free the ends Of the
kerf.
The diamonds employed are of the black
variety, on a hall-inch width, and with SIX
horse power engine can be sunk i'll the solid
quarry from six to twenty-four inches per
hour, according to the hardness of the mate
rial operated upon-the machine having
been tested Oh every grade, from the tough
est flint to the easily-worked marble, leaving
at one operation smoother face on the
harder stones than can be produced other
wise by days of labor. The economy Of the
machine is shown to be great by the fact that
after the first invasion Of quarry by its ire
sistible teeth, (Which, in this primal opera
ton, of course smooth but one face Of the
rock at all subsequent removes to the centre
of the mine two faces of the stone are de-
veloped by each sinking of the saw.
Besides, the great waste occasioned by the
old method of drilling and blasting into vau-
able quarrics is entirely overcome, not foot
of the material being lost if surveys are care
fully made. The saw OH exhibition can be
sunk into tue hardest stone through kerf
of eleven feet to a depth Of four feet ten
inches; but similar machines can be con-
structed to answer the varied demands of
quarrymen. The instrument is very com.
pact, and one Of the power displayed can be
operated by two men, whose services, to-
gcther with the fuel consumed, will amount
to less than ten dollars a day, etfiecting an
estimated saving Of the labor of fifty men,
and reducing the cost of solid building ma

The dog, without which no lowly house
hold is deemed complete, is an active animal,
and he does not always confine his operations
to the poor letter-car1ier's shank or the more
conspicuous portion Of the wandering news

Leavenworth have killed DR.. Huson's full
blooded Cashmere goat, valued at $1,000.
Official reports show in Ohio an annual loss
of $3,000,000 in sheep killed by dogs, and
nearly 100000 in injuries-a loss equiya-
lent to 100000 pounds of wool, or tax OF
2 per cent. upon the total sum invested in
sheep in that State. 1t is said that in two
years, from 1868 to 1870, Illinois sank from
the sixth to the ninth rank among the States
in the number and value of its sheep, and this
great falling off is attributed to proportion.

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch
PErEKsBuRG February 6, 1872,
On yesterday Mr.. James Nj. Donnan, chair
man of the finance committee Of the CITY
Council, notified Mr.. Reuben Ragland in
brief official communication that the Council
had accepted his bid of $50 per share for the
1866 shares of city stock in the Petersburg
Railroad Company; had passed the requisite
ordinance, and was now prepared, through
the finance committee. to take the remaining
necessary steps to consumnlate the sale. Mr..
Raeland politely replies with the intimation
that lie wishes TO confer with the finance
committee on the subject; that he learns that
Judge Wcisiger dissolved Colonel Paul's in
junction because il was n little too fast that
one Of the city papers says that ano-
Their Injunction may be sued out; that
the amount involved is n large one,
and that he wishes to proceed care
fully. 4 meeting of the finance committee
was held this morning to confer on the subject
and arrive at some understanding. There
were present. besides the members of the
committee, Nr. Ragand and his counsel,
McSsrS. Lyon & Pegram, and the attorneys
representing the Council. Mcssrs. Alexander
Doman and Stringlellow d Mann. The
conference lasted about halt-hollr, ana,
though wholly informal and leading to no
definite conclusion, it left the impression
that Mr. RagIand was ready and anxious to
consulnmatc the sale, though il may be nc
will ask some modification of the original
terms and conditions, and probably reduc-
ton in the price agreed to be paid, in view Of
the Threatened litigation which the transfer
| seems to involve. Mr.. Ragland asked for a
postponemcnt Of the consideration Of the
matter until Friday next, to which the COM
mittee, after asking the advice of their law
yers, consented and the matter stands ad-
jouncd therefore until that day.
1t is, of course, impossible to anticipate
future developments; but the situation ut
present seems to suggest that reduction on
the price of the stock will be required and
probably obtained; that the sale will then
formally and finally be effected, and that Mr..
Ragland will rid himself Of bis elephant to
