DIR. SARAH W. DEVOLL,
Consumption Can BE Cured.

SCHENCK's SEAwEED Tonic,
ScHENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS,
Are the only medicines that will cure Pulmonary
Consumption. frequently medicines that stop a
cough will occasion the death of the patient; they
lock the liver, stop the circulation of the blood
hemorrhage follows, and in fact, they clog the action
of the very organs that caused the cough Liver
plant and Dyspepsia the causes of two-thrds of
the cases of consumption. Many persons complain
OF dull pain in the side, constipation coated tongue,
pain in the shoulder blade, feelings OF drowsiness
and restessness the food lying heavily the stem
ach, accompanied with acidity and belching up of
wind. These symptims usually originate from dis
ordered condition of the stomach torpid liver.
Persons so affected, if they take or two heavy
colds, and if the cough in these be suddenly
checked will find the stomach and liver clogged re
manning torpid and Inactive and almost before they
aware the lungs are mass of sores, and ulcer
ated, the result of which is death. Schenck's Pull
monic Syrup is an expectorant which does not con-
tain opium anything calculated to check a cough
suddenly. Schenck's Seaweed Tonic dissolves the
food, mixes with the gastric juices of the stomach,
aids digestion and creates ravenous appetite.
When the bowels are costive, skin sallow, or the
symptoms otherwise of bilious tendency, Schenk's
Mandrake Pills are required. These medicines are
prepared only by
j. H. SCHENCK & SON,
N. E. corner Sixth and Arch streets, Phila.
And are tor sale by all druggists and dealers.
DIR. Scnenck will be at the QUINCY HOUSE, BOS-
TON, on the following WEDNasDAYs: October It'll

The American EXPRESS Robbery.

CINCINNATI. Oct 17.-Edward j. Hackney,
the third confederate in the American Express
robbery, was arrested to-day, but denies COM
plcating or knowledge of the affair. He has
been recognized as one of the two men who
carried the trunk out of the Olive. George
Black, who assisted in the removal of the
trunk and safe confessed to-day, saying he snd
Hackney were paid $500 each by Monroe to
carry out the trunk and safe. In company
with officers he went tonight back to Coving-

the ground was so wet and muddy that they
gave up digging and returned to the city with

If we get the correct impression from. the
despatch published elsewhere, the Grand
Trunk railway managers have hot agreed to
become party to the so-called Saratoga
contract" relative to Western freights. 1t
seems that the New York roads, with inflated
stocks to pay dividends on, have failed to
make their scheme entirely successful.

MAINE LUMBER IN New BRUNSWICK
WATERs.-The treasury department will, in a
day or two promulgate the new regulations
governing the transportation of Maine lumber
through the rivers of New Brunswick and its
admission into Maine ports. Under the law of
1866, permitting lumber:to he so transported,
there resulted in a good deal of fraud, as the
government was obliged to take the word of the
iumbermen in every case, as to whether the
lumber was liable to duty or not. The regula-
tons were made in February, but were tenn
porarily suspended by Secretary Richardson to
obge the Maine congressman. Collector Mutt,
adoption, and the will be made public at once,
and go into effect on the first day of January

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
BY THE PRESIDENT.


We are reminded by the changing seasons that it
is time to pause in our daily vocation and offer
thanks to Almighty God for the mercies aud abun-
dance of the year which is drawing to close. The
blessings OF free 60 eminent have continued to be
youehsafed to U.S. the earth has responded TO the Ia
Dor of the husbandman the land has been free from
pestilence; internal order is being maintained; and
peace with other powers has prevailed. 1t is fitting
that at stated periods should cease from our ac
customed pursuits, and from the turmoil of our daily
lives, and unite in thankfness for the blessings of
the past and the cultivation of kindly feelings to-
wards each other. Now, therefore, recognizing
these considerations [, Ulysses S. Grant, President
Of the United States do recommend to all citizens to
assemble in their respective places Of worship on
Thursday, the 26th Day Of Nov. Next,
and express their thanks for the mercy and favor of
the Almighty God, and laying aside all political con-
tention and all secular occupations to observe sucn
day as a day of praise.
In witness whereof have herewith set my hand and
caused the seal of the United States to be fixed
Done at the city of Washington, this the 29th day
of October in the year of our Lord 1874 and of the
independence of the United States the ninety
ninth.

of the United States and yesterday this body decided
in favor of the company. The transactions at the

Hte1Sn VI AAWAessuess IN the GOAL 4seglen
WnKEsBARRE, Pa, Nov. 1.-THE reign of
lawlessness in the coal regions appears to be
continually growing worse, caused perhaps by
the fact that most of the perpetrators of as
saults and murder escape capture and punish
ment.
At Carbonate on Saturday night or Sunday
morning last, two men were murdered and three
severely assaulted, one of whom will probably
die. Patrick Padden, miner at Cookbook
colliery was found upon Dundorff street in
that city, Sunday morning. with two bullet
holes in his head and badly pounded about the
body. His head was frozen to The ground hav-
ing been dragged in pool of blood and water
which had CONCEALED. He was not quite dead
when found, but expired in the afternoon. On
Saturday afternoon Michael McNully was
found dead upon the railroad bridge near Look
out, in the same city. He had evidently been
put there. Michael Begland was found about
the same tins with his throat cut. He was
dressed in an old suit of miners clothing.
When last seen on Saturday night he had
good suit of clothes on He is still alive and
will probably recover.
A boss of the Erie breaker was waylaid Sat-
urday night and had his arm broken and re-
ceived other injuries, bnt escaped with his life.
About two miles below the city at Carbon
in lonely and unfrequented place. Strong
nails were driven through his coat at the wrists
and his pantaloons at the ankels, and in this
position he was undoubtedly left toI die,I but by
mere accident was found and released,
AT Scranton Sunday informing a news bow
found the body of Michael Kearhey lying at
the foot of steep embankment. He was dead
and had evidently been thrown there. No ar
rests.
