HONEST OPINION.

Mr.. II. II. STEVENS:
DRAR SIR This ls TO show that my son was taken
sick In January, 1864, with Scrofula, which came
out In large sores and ulcers his leg and hip. His
ley WAS sweed more than twice Its natural size
lie had several doctors OF high standing IN their
profession from Boston and three from
,!harlestown-without getting a bit better. He WAS
obliged to lie wherever he was placed, for he had no
llse OF his limbs whatever. Whenwe had given up
all hopes of his living we were tod to try VEGE-
TINE, the great blood remedy and hi. had taken 1t
hut u short time before We could see great change
The sores run so bad that we had to change the
cloths four or five times day. STILL he WAS getting
better for he could move his limbs and help him
self little, He was soon aoe to sit up In bed, and
by constant use OF yES1ETTNE, 1t has cured him.
lie has lame leg, which he will probably have for
life hut we all honestly believe, If we had used
VEGETINE before we had bothered with those doc
tors, It would have saved the use Of his leg, and
restored It to natural health. / hope all those
troubled with Scr0ula will read this testimony OF me
and my son. who iB now well and able to speak for
himself. CATHRRlNE MAHONEI,
DANIEL MAHONEY,

The above plain but honest statement conclusive
ly shows the quick and thorough cleansing effects

THE MARTHA WASHINGTON SUPPER AND ooNCEHr-
RIVALRY WITH GRACE CHURCH.
Especial Correspondence Of the Commercially
st. GEORGES DEL, Jan. 90
The Martha Washington Supper which was
concluded last night was one of the most pleas.
ant social events which ever occurred in this
community. On Wednesday, or opening even
ing, a concert was held in connection with it,
given by cultured vocslists from Philadelphia,
which contributed much to the enjoyment of the
evening by the rare musical treat which 1t af-
forded. The supper was held in the second
story of the carriage factory and the concert be-
low, between which the great crowd which was
present kept vibrating partaking both of food
Tor the body and mind.
No Martha Washington was set up M a figure
head for the occasion, but thirteen OF them pre-
sided over the tables, one at each. The tables
were loaded with great variety OF most excel
was scattered about over them, the profusion
riyaling even the late supper at Grace church
IN your CITY, The dressing was magnificent
10 was more simple than that worn ut Grace,
Martha Washington period. Silks and satins Of
the best quaiity and the richest lustre were
raked up out u drawers where they have been
