age for the last two years he has suffered from
crosis of his leg, caused by scroiulous affection,
and far reduced that nearly all who saw hun
thought his recovery impossible. A council ofable
physicians could give u> bu; the fante>t hope OF

he was beyond The reach OF human remedies, that
even amputation could not save him, as he had
not vigor enough to endure the operation Just then
we commenced giving him legeiine, and from that
time to the present he has been continuously im-
proving. He has lately resumed his studies,
thrown away clutches and cane and walks about

Though there is still some discharge from the
opening where the limb was lanced, we have the
fullest confidence that in little time he will be
perfectly cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles of Vege.

Three Points for Consideration.

During the past five years the VEGETINE has
been steadily working itself into pupc favor and
those who were at first most incredulous in regard
10 its merits are now its most ardent friends and
supporters.
There are three essential causes for those having
such horror of patent medicines, changing their
opinion and lending their influence towards the adj
vancement OF NEGETINE. lst-lt is an honestly
prepared medicine from barks, roots and herbs.

are a sufficient guarantee Of their earnestness in the
matter. Taking into consideration the asst guam

ulne vouchers OF what it has done, should be

Gaze.

The Law Court-The Wagner and Cor
don Case.
The cases of Wagner and Gordon, under sem
tcnce of death in the State Prison, are before the
court and are regarded with extraordinary inter
est by the community. These cases originated in
Knox county, by petitions to the court Judge Vr-
gin presiding) to eDjoin the Sheriff from executing
the warrants issued by the Governor. The pre- siding
Judge denied the petitions, and the petitioners, BY
their counsel, Judge Tapley of Saco, took excep-
tons which brings the matter here. They were
to have been heard yesterday, but Judge Tapleys
engagements in the court at Alfred did not per-
init his presence until to-day, when they will be
argued by him for the prisoners, and BY the At
torney General in behalf of the State.
There is also petition BY Wagner, pending for
writ Of error to reverse the proceedings At his
trial This must first be heard BY single Judge,
and will probably also be deposeA * to-day by
Chief Justice Appleton. !. II he should deny the
writ, tn: petition By bill Of exceptions may come
before the Law Court now sitting, so that tho
whole matter will be summarily disposed Of.
Nearly all other matters of law for this District
have been heard, and the court will probably I'D
