A petition has been presented TO Congress
asking that Ex-Governor Bradford be paid for
the burning of his house by Confederate SOL
dicrs during the late war The plea for pay
ment is urged upon the ground that the burn
ing was wanton aud in retaliation for the
burning of the house Of Gov. Letcher, in Vir-
pinia, by the Union forces under Gen. Hunter
IT strikes as unfair TO pay one Governor and
not the other for the loss Of his property Both
fires were the acts of the enemy, and both
were in violation Of The articles Of war. The
claim Of ex-Gov. Bradford rests on no better
footing than the claim of any private citizen
whose property was destroyed BY fire, but we
suppose to make out case il is only necessary

Pimples, Eruptions, Rough Skin.-The
system being put under the influence Of
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for
a few weeks, the skin becomes smooth,
clear, soft and velyety, and being illumi-
mated with the glow Of perfect health from
within, rue beauty stands forth in all its
glory. Nothing ever presented to the pub
lie as a beautifer Of the complexion ever
gave such satisfaction for this purpose as
this Discovery. The effects of all medi-
cfnes whichoperate uponthe 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 pimples, blotches,
eruptions, yellow spots, comedones, or
'tgrubs," a dozen may possibly be required
TO cure some cases where the system is rot
ted with s~crofulous or virulent blood p0is-
Ons. The cure Of all these diseases, how
ever, from the common pimple to the worst
s~crOfula, is, with the use OF this most potent
agent, only a matter Of time. Sold by all
Druggists.
