= Paragraph tor Dyspepttc..

II you have weak stomach, and wish to
make it weaker, take violent purgations-
There is no surer way to render indigestion
chronic. But 1t you are dyspeptic, and
like sensible person desire to strengthen
your digestive organs and compel them to
perform their essential duties thoroughly
and regularly, take dose of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters before every meal until
your delinquent stomach is restored to a
healthy condition. II should be understood
that dyspepsia is always complicated with
disturbances of the liver and unnatural state
@ the bowels. and that no medicine which
does not reach and rectify these irregulari-
ties can possibly cure this agonizing dis
ease. Hostetter's stomach BitterS is an
anti-bilious agent aud gradual cathartie,
as we'll rs tonic and stomachic, and hence
Its unparalleled efficacy Ia the eeverest
cases of chronic indigestion.

All people would undoubtedly prefer
fine head of hair grown upon their own
heads, to being bald, or wearing false hair,
and it has been the study of many of our
learned men to find remedy to restore the
hair when it has fallen out, and renew its
color after it has become gray. Such
remedy has been found and is now offered
to the world under the name of Halls Veg
etable Scilian Hair Remover; and, to YER
ify this statement, read the following:
This is to certify that was very bald; in
fact, my mead was perfectly smooth; and it
Is common in my family to grow bald early
in life. | have now used four bottles of
Halls Vegetable Scilian Hair Remover;
and the hair has grown out all over my
head. and is now a natural brown.

RIVER NEws.-The river now is entirely clear
Of ice below the Fort, but between there and
Washington II Is very heavy in some places. The
ice on the flats opposite this city still remains
stationary, and affords q good foundation to
persons in search OF drift wood. The govern
ment tender Tallapoesa succeeded Yesterday in
getting out of the critical situation I'm which she
has been lying for over a week. The tugs Poto-
mac, Gov. Curtin, and Katie Wise arrived up
last night with one schooner. The other two
have not yet arrived. The steamers New York
and Trianna will start down tomorrow. The
schooner Mary Terry was tOwed down from
Washington and commenced loading at the
wharf of the Baltimore and Hampshire coal
company. The +. G. Knight, above the bridge,
still keeps her steam up, ready to get out should
the river rise high enough to foat her.
MYsTERIoUs.-Late yesterday evening a small
boat was seen Oft the American coal wharf con-
tanning two men, who seemed as if they were
making an effort to get clear of the ice, but no
cries for help being heard, no assistance was
rendered them. This morning the boat was still
to be seen, but the men have not vet been heard
from. What became of them is not known, and
1t is thought that they were drowned.

ARREST OF THE DEFACLTING BRIDEGROOM.
The young man, William Murray, the de-
faulting clerk of j. BlOodgoOd & Co., of No %
William street, was arrested on Tuesday at
Bangor, Me-, by City Marshal Bolton. He,
with his bride, nee Miss Ada A. Shreve of this
city, were taken into custody when the noon
bered that MURRAY took IS 600 of his EMPLOYERS
money and inveigled his affanced into a secret
marriage, after which they left from the i2d-
street depot, no one knew whittier. 1t was SUD
posed, however, that they had taken tickets
for Montreal. But instead Of going to Montreal,
Murray and his wife took the Vermont Central
for Boston, whence they went BY steamer to
St John. At that place they took rooms at the
Victoria Hotel, taking their meals in their
as Edward Sanford, and had cards printed for
Edward and Alice Sanford. TheS purchased
much valuable jewelry and occupied one Of the
finest suites Of rooms in the hotel. On Tuesday,
Murray purchased tickets for himself and wife
TO Portland, probably intending to connect
with the Grand Trunk train at Danville juno
ton, and 60 through to Montreal, where it is
thought ne had money deposited While he
was stopping at St John, the chief of police re-
panied by photographs, from Superintendent
kels0, with instructions to arrest them. The
chief followed Murray and his wife on the
train, and telegraphed to the police at Bangor.
In order that the arrest might be made in the
United States. Murray was perfectly cool
when! arrested, but his wife exhibited much ex-
element, and her husbands revolver was

THE Platter WIFE MURDER-Theories of the
Prosecution and tie Defence.-The. Platter IN 1rder
trial at Cambridge, Nd, is still engaging public
attention on the Eastern shore. The theory of
the state, as shown by the testimony; is that
Platter, Bryan and Ross came from Bryan's
house to Plater's residence; that Platter went
up to the house, leaving the others at the barn;
that he found his wife ssleep on the bed-cloth-
ing she had borrowed, and pressed the bed
clothing or muff over her mouth, at the same
time choking and thus suftocating her; that
Bryan and Ross then helped him to drag her
out into the yard, where She was found. Ross
was boy only fifteen years Of age, and told a
very contradictory story before the Coroner's
inquest, and has since mysteriously disappeared
He was shrewd boy, but would hardly have
left neighboIhoOd where he had always lived
without the ASSISTANCE of others As 10 Becky
Cornish, 1t is not clear whether she was an ac-
cessory or not, though some think that she
helped inperson. Platter was sick and weak at
the time, and was lame and walked with a
stick. The defence win endeavor to prove an
alibi, and that he was too weak to accomplish
the deed, maintaining that the deceased com
mitted suicide. The state closed its case yes
terday, and the testimony for the defence was
begun. There are said to be TWENTY-FIVE or
thirty witnesses to examine for the defence.
