The Life of the Flesh Is the Blood.

This being the fact, it is very obvi-
Gus that when the blood becomes COR
rupted the whole system becomes cor
rnpt also. To relieve this, the true
policy undoubtedly is to direct the
remedy to the source of the disease
1t is in this manner that Dl. TUFTS
Sarsaparilla and Queens Delight acts.
Its specific effect is on the blood; it
purifies it, vitalizes it, and expels all
distemper from the system.
Being free from violent Minerals, it
is adapted to general use. The old
and young may use it; the most deli
cate female, at any time, may take it /;
the weak and enfeebled will be
strengthened by it; the tender infant
who may have Inherited disease, viii
be cured by it.
For Syphilis, and its trains of evils,
it is sure antidote.

THE FALL CAMpA1GN.-Words will
not describe, says the Edge field Ad-
vertiser, the great struggle which is to
take place during the coming summer
and fall, for place and pelf, in South
Carolina. Here are the Offices to be
sought for: Governor; Lieutenant
Governor; Treasurer; Comptroller
General all the members of the Cen
eral Assembly fifteen County Sena-
tors Sheriffs, Clerks of Court; and
Judges of Probate for many of the
Counties; School Commissioners for
all the Counties; five Represen :atives
in Congress; q United States Senator
to hold his seat for six years; and an
immense train of subordinate Offices
too numerous to mention. The field
is large-the plumber most inviting
the temptation great! Radicals, Half
Radicals, (of whom mary will spring
up, we fear,) True Blue Democrats,
Potassium Democrats, Reformers, Mod
crate Men, and God only knows who
not, may all mingle in the turbid strife.
And happy will be the few who sigh
for none of the places.

A QUESTION IN AR1rMEr1c-A. and
B., two countrymen, came to the
New York market with 80 geese each.
A. sells his 80 geese at the rate of
two for $1.00, and B. sells his 80
geese at che rate of three for 800.
at which rate the purchaser seems to
get S geese for $500. The net pro.
ceeds Of the sales, however, amount
ed to $500. Subsequently A. and
B., have another lot Of 80 geese each
for the market, but as A. is sick he
gets B. to sell his lot who comes to
market, and believing that he was
selling his geese on the same terms
as before, offers them at the rate of
5 for $500. When be returns home,
he finds. in making up his account
with A., that he has only Melted $24.-
90, for the 60 geese, and is out 81 90
but cannot account for the deficiency
In the first instance the 60 geese
brought $500, in tho second only
$24.OO and yet he has apparently sold
them on the same terms. 5 for $500.
Can any one account. for the defcien-

The Accident on the P & o. r. R.

There were some quite wild stories
cident in Danville last week. The man
who wrote il letter to the Boston JOur-
nal. who claimed to have been il victim,
was more likely a victim of misplaced
confidence. The only serious injury
sustained. 81 far as we can learn. WAS
that by Mr.. Bixby of Montpelier. who
was riding on the platform instead of
in the ear. The Star. which from the
fact that the wife of the editor was one
of the injured, may be supposed to know
of what it says, reports only the names
of Mrs. y. ii. Eaton. Mrs. j. b. Burdick,
and Mrs. John Fulsome Of Danville.
and Mrs. VI. {. Hurd of Peacham, as
'.severely bruised" We understand
that resident surgeon reports Mrs.
Burdick is so badly injured as to neces-
state that she keep the house for sew
eral months but the neighbors antici-
pate her speedy recovery. j. Z. Lam
son. Esq. of Cabot, who has been widely
reported as one of the victims, was
only scratched; though his escape was
quite remarkable, for when the car fell
over on its side, he stepped through
one of the windows; and if the car had
been dragged any distance he would
doubtless have received serious injury

Fire at Barnet.

Fire at Barnet.
A fire broke ont in the store of X.
w. Laird at Barnet, on Saturday last,
at about half-past 10 NJ. When the
fire was first discovered it was i'll the
roof near a chimney, and very little
water would have extinguished it, but
as the wind was blowing gale at the
time, and as no means of getting upon
the roof were at hand. it soon envelop-
ed that building in flames. The fire
next communicated with three tene-
ment house, directly north. known as
the old james Harvey store. This was
occupied by Timothy Bartlett (section
hand) on first floor, and on second floor
by Mrs. Arthur and her son, and Nehe-
miah Lane. superintendent of Mr..
Laird'S store. From this building fire
communicated with the large new wood

was consumed. together with 300 cords

sawyerS had just completed cutting up.

burned, but not much of value in it,.
The fire stopped here, although several

Mr.. Laird had an insurance of S2.0OO
on building and goods. yet his loss must

i'll the front part of the store were re-
the back store were burned. including
800 bushels corn. five tons nails. phos-
pilates, salt, etc.
The tenement house was owned by
Judge Robert Harvey, and was insured
for ~ 900. In this building Mr.. Bart
lett lost most of his effects. including
four good beds. furniture and provi-
SioilS. Both he and Mr.. Lane were so
engaged in saving things from the store
that they did not realize the danger to
their own property until too late to
save much; although Mr.. Lane and
Mrs. Arthur We're more fortunate in this
respect than Mr.. Bartlett. They are all
worthy people and the loss comes hard
upon them.
