None but a physician knows how
much reliable Alternative is needed by
the people. On all sides of US, in all
communities everywhere, there are null
titudes who suffer from complaints that
nothing but an Alternative cures.-Hence
a great many of them have been made
and put abroad with the assurance of be-
ing efectual. But they fail to accom-
plish the cures they promise, because
they have not the intrinsic virtues they
claim. In this state of the case, DR.. J.
C. Aver & Co, of Lowell, have supplied
a Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla,
which proves to be the long-desired re-
medy. It's peculiar difference from 9TH
er kindred preparations in the market is
that it cures the diseases for which it is
recommended, while they do not. We
are assured of this fact by more than
one intelligent physician in this neigh
borhood, and have the further evidence
Of our own experience of its truth

The Boston case was that of two cool
headed chaps who went to one of the
school-houses in that city where large
number of men were employed making
extensive repairs. They brought with
them horse and wagon, in which was a
number of ladders, and forthwith COM
menced removing the copper lightning
rods from the building. They labored
for several hours and then carted away
ton, more or less, of refined copper and
made good their escape.

The train came on, and although the

her as far off the track as she could

An erring husband, who had exhaust

had no apology ready, recently slipped
into the house about O'Clock very soft

rocking the cradle by the bedside, as if
he had been awakened out of n sound

away for five minutes, when Mary Jane,

pursuing this interesting investigation,
step by step, and feel confident that

our many friends, indisputable evidence
of untold possessions, which will invite
their earliest and most earnest attentions.
I have seen, comparatively speaking,

by the way, kept his race horses. hounds,

wild ducks, padding their own canoe"
unconscious Of the approach Of foe,
not dreaming that the "Chill" of death
was lowering so near. Old John, stop
ped, hitched his horse to q sapling, and
stealthily crept around the head of the
basin more anxious to gain an advan-
tage over the innocent ducklings than
any thing else, and. before he got in the
coveted range on his game, he was on
the opposite side of the basin from where
he had left his charger; he drew up his
gun and fred. He heard sharp neigh,
proceeding from his favorits horse, and
oh, horror of horrorsl what is wrong?
With hasty step he was soon standing
beside his favorite animal, which cost
him 91oo sterling money ($50o,) only q
