DIR. SCHENCK'S
PulmOnic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and
Mandrake Pills.

These medicines have undoubtedly performed more
cures of Consumption than any other remedy known
to the American public. They compounded of
vegetable ingredients, and contain nothing which can
be injurious TO the human constitution.
o. her remedies advertised cures for Consump-
ton, probably contain opium, which is somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases, and III taken freely by
consumptive patients. it must do great injury; for
its tendency is to contne the morbid matter in the
system, which of course, must make cure impossi-
Bile.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to
contain particle of opium: 1t is composed Of pow
erful but harmless herbs, which act on the lungs
liver stomach and blood, and thus correct all NOR
bid secreions, and expe all the diseased matter from
the body. These are the only means by which Con-
sumption can be cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonic
SYRUP Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the
only medicines which operate il, this way it is obv-
Gus they are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary
Consumption. Each bottle of this invaluable medi-
cine is accompanied by full directions.
Dr. Schenck is professedly at his principal office,
corner Sixth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia every
Monday, and at the Quincy House, Boston, on the
following Wednesdays June 10th and oath, July Sth
and 22d. and August 9Th and 10Th.

A STRONG opposition to the camp-meeting
is developing itself among the Methodists of
Chicago. At a conference of cergymen held
not long since the matter was very fully dis
cussed, and the weight of opinion was OPP
posed to the continuance of the custom. 1t
was said that camp-meetings are failing to
secure the attendance of fashionable church
congregations, and that many people refuse
to exchange the comfortable surroundings OF
church edifces for the annoyances and dis
comforts of the woods. It Is safe to say that
the sentiment East is quite contrary to
this, and that the camp-meeting has lost
none of its popularity with us.

HOWEVER much the general public may
profess to believe in capital punishment, the
galows is SO repulsive to the ordinary jury
man that he will avoid verdict consigning a
criminal to death whenever it is possible. This
fact was again illustrated in the case of a muir
derer named Gill, who was tried in New York
last week. The crime was proven beyond a
doubt; there was no question as to the intent ;
in every respect it was clear case of muir
der in the first degree, yet the jury took adj

John A. Pooler, the subject OF this notice,
was born at Rutland June 20, 1851, and died Al
Wallingiord Sunday, March s, 1874, being in the
forty-thlrd year of his age.
In the year 1854 he went to the Literary In
stitutlon at Fairfax, then under the charge Of
DR.. Upham, and became teacher In the
higher English branches 1t was while
in this capacity and In connection with some
special religious meetings held at the residence
of DR., Upham that his attention was called to
his religious condition, and during these meet
ings he was led to believe on the Saviour and
give his heart to God. Subsequently he rc-
turned to Rutland, becoming member OF the
Baptist church In that place. In the spring Of
1865 he was married to Miss Susan NJ. Story, Of
Cuttlngsvllle, and afterward removed to the
State OF Ohio, where he lived about eight years
Returning to the East, he took up his residence
in the spring OF 1867 at Walingford, whore he
united with the Baptist church, holding at the
time OF his death the position Of church CLERK.
At different times he acted as correspondent
for the religious and secular press, and in what
ever capacity, whether religious or secular he
was called TO serve, he not only sought to dis
charge his duties faithfully, but under a high
Christian consciousness also He was always
tenacious OF any wrong done to the Christian
profession, and II he thought such injury in any
manner attributable to himself he was ready 10

Some excitement and n good deal of
amusement was created in certain quar-
ter of this quiet town, few nights since,
through the manipulations of an irreprcssi-
BILE railroad chap, and the cunning display
ed by damsel, the daughter of widow.
1t appeareth that the mutual relations eX-
listing between the two young people was
the cause of much anxiety on the part of
the elderly female, who did all she could to
keep them apart. But on the night before
referred to her best endeavors to that effect
were outwitted as we shall see further on.
A young folks ball was to take place in a
suburban town near by, that night, and said
couple were laying their plans to attend.
The old lady getting wind of the affair,
set her foot down that her daughter should
stay at home. But the damsel thought
otherwise. So, as the shades of night were
falling, she conceived the idea of going to
the post-ofiice, which she put into eXecu-
ton by stepping out to neighbours and
borrowing hat and shawl for the alleged
purpose Of going for the mail. The anx-
ious mother soon missed her, and, going
into the neighbours, heard of the escapade
She at once became convinced where the
daughter had gone, which idea was strength
ened by the fact that her best apparel was
gone also. Becoming alarmed she hurried
TO the headquarters of the police, secured
the services of the night patrol, ordered
him TO proceed at once to the scene, and
with shackles strong to bind and bring
home the desperate who dared to run away
with her daughter, The patrolman de-
parted, approaching the joke, and in the
"wee sma' hours ofthe morning, the young
folks returned. BY tina thine the mothers
heart had relented and she received them
both with open arms recompensed the
ambassador, and concluded to bring no ac-
ton against the. lover. Thusit happened that
peace and happiness now reigns in the ma
ternal mansion, and bright light is now
frequently seen late at night proceeding
from the best room.
