the city. Among our business men and with its
depOsitOrs it dessrvedly stands in high favor Its
management is disposed to yield to the last de-
gree Of generous accommodation, while in ali its
transactions the severest banking discipline Is
enforced. The latest and best intelligence of the

eminent bonds and District securities; and in the
negotiation Of loans on all marketable securities
they are ready and abundant in resources. 1t
such facts as tbese which have SO quickly given
the house of Otfley Co. its sound and extensive
reputation in financial circles, at home aud
abroad, and they are what our merchants and
business men pleasantly talk about when re-

resolutions requesting Congress to take immedl-

having no power TO compel the contractors to
peal to Congress remained. A resolution was
passed appoin ting John Pope Hod1ett, ESQ., the
counsel Of the Workingmen, as committee to
present the resolutions to Congress. As these
labOrers worked faithfully for their small pit
lance, and as many Of them are suffering for the
necessaries Of life during this terrible winter
Congress should see them paid at once. II the
labOrer is worthy Of his hire, let him be worthy
of getting that hire.

No USE Of any longer taking the large, repuI.

Of crude and bulky ingredients, and put up in
cheap wood or pasteboard boxes, when we can, by
q careful application Of chemical science, extract
all the cathartlc and other medicinal properties
from the most valuable roots aud herbs and con-
eentrate them into q minute Granule scarcely
larger than mustard seed, that can be readily
swallowed by those Of the most sensitive stomachs
and iastidlOus tastes. Each OF DIR. Pierce's
Pleasant Purgatiye Pellets represents, IN a most
concentrated form, as much eathsrtic power as Is
embodied In any Of the large pills found for sale
in the drug stores. From their wonderful cathar-
tic power, in proportion to their sizes people who
have not tried them are apt to suppose that they
are harsh or drastic IN effect, but such Is not at
all they case, the different active medicinal prn-
ciples Of which they are composed being so har-
mODiZed, one by the others, as to produce q most
searching and thorough, yet gently and kindly
operating eatnartie. The Pellets are sold By

CONsUNPTIvEL TAKE NOTICE.-Every moment
OF delay makes your cure more hopeless, ana
much depends on the judicfous choice OF remedy.
The amount of testimOnyi In favor Of DR.. Sehencks
Pulmonic Syrup, as q cure for consumption, far
exceeds all that can be brought to support the
pretensions OF any other medicine. see Dr.
Schenek's Almanac, containing the eertineates OF
many persons of the highest respectability who
have been restored TO health, after being pro-
nouneed ineurable by physicians Of acknowledged
ability. Schenek's PulmOnic Syrup alone has
cured many, as these evidences will show; but
the cure is often promoted by the employment Of
two other remedies which DR.. Schenck provides
for the purpose. These additional remedies are
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills.
BY the timely use of these medicines, according
10 directions, DR.. Sehenck certihes that most any
case Of Consumption may be cured.
