control them. The testimony of our best citi-
zens, of all classes, establishes the fact, that
CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases of Consumption,
cured by this preparation, are publicly known,
so remarkable as hardly to be believed, were
they not proven beyond dispute. As a remedy,
it is adequate, on which che public may rely
for full proteetioni BY curing Coughs, the
forerunners Of more serious disease, it saves un-
numbered lives, and an amount of suffering not
10 be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptical. Every family should
keep it on hand as a protection against the early
and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Affec-
tions, which are easily met at first, but which
become ipcurable, and too often fatal, if neg
lected. Tender lungs need this defence; and it
is uuwise to be without it. As q safeguard to
children, amid the distressing diseases which
beset the Throat and Chest of childhood, CHERRY
PICTORIAL is invaluable; for, by its timely use,
multitudes are rescued from premature graves,
and saved TO the lore and affection centred on
them. Il acts speedily and surely against ordi-
nary colds, securing sound and health-restoring
sleep. No one will suffer troublesome Inl1u.
enza and painful Bronchitis, when they know
how easily they can be cured.
Originally the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, no cost or toll
is spared in making every bottle in the utmost
possible perfection. II may be confidently relied
upon as possessing all the virtues it has ever
exhibited, and capable of producing cures as
memorable ss the greatest it has ever effected.

and Justice herself have INVOKED General
Grant to issue an order for . rehearing,
with new evidence, of the case Of Fitz
John Porter. New Hamshire is the ma
tive State of this mueh-abused man. Will
General Grant be deaf to her voice?
[Portsmouth (N.H.) Times.l
Among the resolves adopted at the
session Of the General Cours was n in
troduced in the Senate by Colonel Thomas
p. Pierce, asking the President of the
United States to use his prerogative and
grant a rehearing in the case of General
Fitz John Porter, which was adopte dunan
imoasly by both Houses. Since the close
Of the little unpleasantness', and the heat
of party rancor has somewhat cooled, pol
iticians who were instrumental in this has
ty condemnation of a brave ond meritori-
GUS officer have been among the first tc
acknowledge the wrong, and, besides, new
evidence has become accessible which is
said to entirely exculpate General Porter
from any criminal neglect of duty or disc
bedience of orders. Vice President Will
son and a score of others have petitioned
in his behalf, and the Legislature of sew
eral States have adopted similar resolu-
tons to those adopted by our Legislature.
It is fitting that this State should lend her
good Offices to remove any wrongful stig-
ma upon the name of on of her own SONS.
General Fitz John Porter is a native OF
this city, and was born in the house now
owned and occupied by Hon. Albert R.
Hatch, He graduated at Phillips Exeter
Academy, and shortly after entered the
West Point Military Academy, and, upon
graduating, at once entered upon active
duty in the army, winning distinction in
whatever duty he was called upon to per
form, gradually rising in rank until, at the
time of his unjust dismissal, he stood in
the front rank of Major Generals, and for
bravery and military skill, and sagacity,
was acknowledged to be a peer among the

and with inaugurating the Asbantee
war without communicating with Par.
