A Drop of Joy in Every Word.
PENNINGTON, Hunterdon Co.,, N. J.,
 J11ne 26 1874

DR. R. V. PIERCE, Buffalo, N. r.: Deo,. Sir It is with happy heart that l pen these lines to acknowledge that you and your Golden Medical Discovery and Purgative Pellets are blessings to the world. These medicines can- not be too highly praised, for they have almost brought me out of the grave. Three months ago I was broken out with large ulcers and sores on 1ny body limbs and face. l procured your Golden Medical Discovery and Purgative Pellets, and have taken six bottles and to-day I am in good health, all those ugly ulcers hay ing healed and left my skin in natural, healthy condition. l thought at one tune could not be cured. Although can but poorly express my gratitude to you yet there is drop of ioy in every word l write. Gods blessing rest on you and your wonderful medicines is the "'-'''i' p"'' JAMES 0. Br111s
 When medicine will promptly cure such ter rble eating ulcers and free the blood of the virulent poison causing them, who can longer doubt it's wonderful virtues :? Dr. Pierce, how ever, does rot wish to place his Golden Medical Discovery in the catalogue of quack patent nos trums by recommending it to cure every dis ease, nor does he so recommend it !; but what he does claim is this, that there is but one form of blood disease that it will not cure, and that disease is cancer. He does not recommend his Discovery for that disease, yet he knows 1t to be the most searching blood cleanser yet dis tenn of all other known blood poisons, be they animal, vegetable or mineral. The Golden Dis covery is acdr1'dnted by him to cure the worst forms of skin diseases, as all forms of botches, pimples and eruptions, also all glandular swell ings, and the worst form of scrofulous and ul- cerated sores of neck, legs or other parts, and all scrofulous diseases of the bones as white eases, al of which belong to scrofnlo-a dis eaSes,-COnt,

 In an article on the present complexion and the prospects of the next United States Senate, the New York Herald says: ''ft Y
 On the 4th of March the terms of twenty-five Senators expire. It will be of interest, in view of the present state of parties and the approach of the Presi- dential election, to see what the prospects are for thestwo great political organiza tions in the upper house of Congress. Seventeen Republican Senators retire on the 4th, three Independents, and five Democrats. So far eight elections have been held, resulting in the election of five Democrats, two Republicans, and one Independent. Seventeen States re- main to be heard from. From these it is expected there will be return of nine Democrats and eight Repubi show ing in the entire field Republican loss of nine and Democratic gain of eight votes.

THE PROPOSED CHANGES IN
THE CITY GOVERNMENT.
The Bill Not Il Law Even Accord
ing to Vigers'> Minutes.

There are not q few persons who believe
that the new City Charter which was pushed
through the Kellogg Senate was also passed
through the House; and believing this there
has been no little unea-iRess lest Kellogg
should sign the Ii or keep i suspended over
the Administrators as he did Oh previous
occasion.
We are more than g-atiied to tate thai the
minutes Of the House as prepared by that
Immaculate and cL ocolatc colorel statesman,
VIM. Vigers, ana dniy published in the
official journal Thursday morning, show that
the bill did not legally pass the House, the
N mbers having, upon 70 e. refused to sus-
pend the constitutional rule which requires a
four-fft-s vote. The following Is the article:
"Article u. No bill shall have the f3rce of
law until on three several days it be read in
each house Of the 6 neral Assembly and free
discussion allowed thereon, unless four ifths
OF the House where the bill is pending may
deem it expedient to dispense with this rule.
Even if this bill should be held to be le-
gally passed. the constitutional rule to the
contrary notwithst inding, it is of record that
the final vote upon it was no. taken until after
II o'clock midnight of the 81 inst, after
which all acts were necessarily mil and void |
inasmuch as the iii was a legtl holiday. For
these, and for numerous other reasons, the |
act may be considered as dead as Marley |

THE CONCERT LtSY NIGHT.

Onto a number OF persons took THEN
time last night in getting to ST. PAtri, k's
Hall The clerk OF the weather was on the
rampage and early in the evening commenced
to growl, aud those persons thought that the
display of ngliness on the part of the afore-
said clerk would have the fleet OF frighten-
ing everybody but themselves; but they were
mistaken. st. Patrick's Hall contained one
of the largest audiences that has assembled
within its four walls since its erection, and
late corners had to take back seats
The concert was given under the direction
Of Prot. G. I. Frey for the benefit Of the
Lafayette Presbyterian Church, Rev DR..
Markham, pastor, and the friends of the
church have good reason to feel qrltified ut
the response which the public have accorded
TO this their first appeal
AZ the appointed hour the concert opened
With the overture to Ia Muetto dc iortici, by
Miss T. C. and Prof. G. r. Frey, admirably
rendered and well received.
The programme is too long TO lie dealt with
in detail
Criticism is hardly fair, but we feel called
upon to specially mention the singing of Miss
Kate Thayer, daughter OF our fellow-citizen
Mr.. Fred N. Thayer, Who by-thc-way, took
prominent part in the entertainment, as VIII
be seen by the programme.
Miss Ihayer has a sweet and well cultivated
voice, and the applause which last night
greeted her every effort was well merited.
At the conclusion of the concert quite a
number Of those present proceeded to the
supper room, where it was announced Lady
Washington would give a Tea Party.
Lady Washington, it is scarcely necessary
to say, was not present, but she was well rep
resented. There were q number Of tables.
