THE RICHINGs. BERNARD TROUPE
The unusually low price of admission to
the performance of this troupe, has
tended to create the idea, to a certain ex-
tent, that it is not in every respect first
class. Our people have been ga much &C
customed to pay $500 for reserved seats
to operas and concerts that they feel
little uneasy regarding the excellence of
an opera to which reserved seat can be
bought for $l25. We can assure all
entertaining such an idea that they are
greatly mistaken. Mrs. Caroline Rich
ings- Demands nau.e and reputation is
national, and it alone is u sufficient guar
antee that the performance of any com.
pany with which she is connected will
be unusually good. The present troupe
has received the encomiums of both
press and public wherever it has appear
ed, and there is no doubt that all lovers
OF music who patronize it here will be
well pleased and fully satisfied. .

A CHANGE in freight arrangements of
the Pittsburgh division of the Baltimore
Il Ohio railroad has been made, by which
the company is enabled to forward west

will facilitate the business of shippers
considerably. The company has also
made reduction of rates on the division,
which will particularly assist the coal

are still the most thorough and search
ing cathartic medicine that can be
employed: cleansing the stomach and
bowels, and even the blood. In small
doses of one pill day, they stimulate
the digestive organs and promote Wig
orous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter OF century, ana
have obtained a worldwide reputation
for their virtues. They correct DIS
eased action in the several assimila-
tive organs of the body, and are 80
composed that distractions within
their range can rarely withstand or
evade them. Not only do they cure
The everyday complaints OF every
body, but also formidable and danger
Gus diseases that have batilcd the best
of human skill. While they produce
powerful effects, they are, ut the same
time, the safest aud best physic for
children. BY their apericnt action
they grippe much less than the common
purgatives, and never give pain when
the bowels are not inhamed. They
reach the vital fountains Of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing
1t from the elements Of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions
In all climates, containing neither
calomel nor any deleterious drug,
these Pills may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar-coating pre-
serves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take; while being
purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
