The rope was cut at 1:25 P. M., and in ten minutes Wood was pronounced dead. In fifteen min utes he was cut down, and his remains inferred in the city cemetery.

A PrOVId0nf1aI Man.

This title now justly belongs to 8 physician who has added to the list of medicines new remedy, which appears to include all that is most valuable in the old pharmacopoeia, and not to in clude any of the drawbacks with which the so-called specifies of the faculty are chargeable. The providential man is Dr. Joseph Walker, of California, whose Vinegar Bitters have achieved, in the short space of two years, 8 degree of popularity never before attained by any advertised preparation in this country. We have too much confidence in the shrewdness of the American people to suppose that this sudden and surprising celebrity is the outgrowth of a delusion. Indeed, we have reason to know that it is founded on innumerable and we'll authenticated cures of almost all the bodily ills that flesh is heir to-. Not the least among the merits of the famous tonic and restorative is it's entire freedom from alcohol, as we'll as from all mineral drugs. It is composed exclusively of rare vegetable extracts - Com.

Investment with Positive Return.

No financial securities yet offered in the market have become so readily and generally popular as the first mortgage premium bonds of the Industrial Exhibition Company of New York, and there exists many patent reasons for this marked preference. In the first place the bonds are placed at the attain able price of $2O each, and the return of the principal is assured beyond contingency ; further, the holder of each bond participates in every quarterly Premium Drawing until it is redeemed-principal and interest The premiums range as high as $1O0,O0O for a single bond. The next Premium Drawing will be held on the 7th of December next, at Steinway Hall, New. York. The character of the gentlemen who have the management of th1s great enterprise in hand, is of itself ample assurance that the plan will be carried through to successful consummation, and that the in terests of the bondholders will be most faith fully guarded.

At one of the gates of Paris the col lectors of the octrof were not satisfied in regard to 8 vehicle which came in every day. There was, generally, not much in the cart, but it was always drawn by two enormous strong horses with enormously heavy harness. So an officer, in disguise, was appointed to follow the man.. He obtained no pre- else information, save that something unusual was done when the horses were stabbed that required at least two men and two hours time. . Next day they examined the horses and ripped open the harness. In the heavy harness were found 1,500 cigars.
