We observe that the A. N. IL
y. K. L. Company announces its
readiness to pay the January in
terest Cd rs bonds. This, in con-
necticA with the factthat Gen. Ma
hone has been successful in his ne
gotiatiohs with regard to the unpaid
Interests Of last July and last Jan
ualy, warrants the presumption
that the road will rise from the
pit into which it was plunged by
the panic of 1872, a pit which has
been the burial place Of many Of the

The development OF a case of
small pox in the dense labyrinth
of Ford's Hotel, has had the effect
to empty it of It's patrc mage. Oth>
er houses are not anxious to re-
ceives the refugees, but there need
be but little alarm. A case of
smallpox always clicits more
fright than philosophy. There is
no doubt in the minds of scientific
men, that successful re vaccination
is almost a perfect protection
against contagion.

WE learn from the State Libraria

We learn from the State Librarian
that the now prevalent custom Of
decorating the State Library with
the portraits Of distinguished Vir-
ginans was inaugurated by Mis-.
Gen. John B. Floyd. of this coun-

presented for that purpose fine

resulted in the present large collec-

some of them were very strong,
and it was only their multiplicity
that nldc them weak. After a
service Of two terms, his re-elec-
ton shows that he has not failed
in the great position that tried his
capacities. The East could charge
to him no failure in devotion TO its
interests. The West had merely
to look to the honor he could con-
fer upon the State, and the danger
nc might avert. In no instance has
he failed to mark the look of the
federal lion on the State, and in no
case has he failed to exhibit vigi-
lance and deXterity in avoiding
collision which we had no power
to encounter. No man can lie
twice reelected to the Senate of
Va, without lofty character and
signal ability. Judge Johnston is
now more than ever before, cons
Spicuously before the country, and
we believe he will meet his new
responsibilities to the satisfaction

Bleeding from Lungs, Catarrh, BrOn-
chitis, Consumption. A Won
derfuI Cure
ROCHESTER, N. Y, Jan. 10, 1874

ROCHESTER,, n. Y, Jan. Is, 1874.
R. Y. PIERCE, NJ. D., Buffalo, N. Y:
Dear Sri had suffered from catarrh in an
aggravated form for about twelve years, and
for several years from bronchial trouble.
Tried many doctors and things with no lasting
benefit. In May, ~, becoming nearly worn
out with excessive editorial labors on a paper
in New York city, I was attacked with bron-
chitis in a severe form, suffering almost a total
loss Of voice. l returned home, here, but had
been home only two weeks when I was COM
pletely Frustrated with hemorrhage from the
lungs, having four seUere bleeding spells scithin
too aCeeks, and. first three inside of nine davs.
In the September following, 1 improved sufi-
GENTLY to be able to be about, though in a very
feeble state. My bronchial trouble remained,
and the catarrh was tenfold worse than be-
fore. Every effort for relief seemed fruitless.
I seemed to be losing ground daily. | con-
tinued in this feeble state, raising blood
almost daily, until about the first of March,
Us, when I became 80 bad as to be entirely
confined to the house. A friend suggested
your remedies. But I was extremely skepti-
cal thatsthey would do me good, as I had lost
all heart in remedies, and began to look upon
medicine and doctors with disgust. However,
I obtained one of your circulars, and read it
carefully, from which I came to the conclusion
that you understood your business, at least.
/ finally obtained a quantity of DIR. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy, your Golden Medical Discov-
cry and Pellets. and commenced their vigor-
GUS use according to directions. To my sur
prise, I soon began to improve. The Discov-
cry and Pellets, in a short time, brought out a
severe eruption, which continued for several
weeks. / felt much better, my appetite i'm
proved, and I gained in strength and flesh.
In three months every vestige Of the catarrh
was gone, the bronchitis had nearly disappear
ed, had no cough whatever, and I had entirely
ceased to raise blood; and, contrary to the ex-
pectation of some of my friends, the cure has
remained permanent. I have had no more
h~emorrhages from the lungs, and am entirely
free from catarrh, from which I had suffered
so much and SO long. The debt of gratitude
| owe for the blessing l have received at your
hands, knows no bounds. I am thoroughly
satisfied, from my experience, that your medi-
cines will master the worst forms of that
odious disease catarrh, as well as throat and
lung diseases. / have recommended them to
very many and shall ever speak in their praise.
Gratefully yours, VIM. 81. SPENCER.

that Mr.. Briggs has secured, of course at an
