DIR. Schenck's Pulmonlc Syrup, Sea Weed
Tonic, and Mandrake Pills medicines
have undoubtedly performed more cures of
consumption than any other remedy known
to the American public. They are COM
pounded of vegetable ingredients, and con-
tain nothing which can be injurious to the
human constitution. Other remedies adver-
tised as cures tor Consumption, probably
contain opium, which is a somewhat danger
GUS drug in all cases, and if taken freely by
consumptive patients, itmust do great injury;
for it's tendency is to confne the morbid mat
ter in the system, which, OF course, must
make a cure impossible. Schenck's Pull
monte Syrup is warranted not to contain
particle of opium: tits composed of power:
full but harmless herbs, which act on the
lungs, liver, stomach, and blood, and thus
correct all morbid secretionc, and expel all
the diseased matter from the body. These
are the only means by which Consumption
can be cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills
are the only medicines which operate in this
way, it is obvious they are the only genuine
cure for Pulmonary Consumption. Each bot
tie of this invaluable medicine is accom-
panied by full directions. DR.. Schenck is
professionally at his principal Office, corner
Sivth and Arch streets, Philadelphia, ever
Monday, where all letters for advice must be
addressed.

derstand the language sufficiently ITO
protect themselves, He was on tie
point of discharging them, when the
commanding officer who was in the
Court watching the leases that day said
quietly to His Honor; ssLet me ask
them a question or two and I think l
can prove to you that they understand
English perfectly" Upon receiving
the judges consent, he turned to the
prisoners and said in distinct English:
''That s all-you can go,n' whereupon
the two unfortunate foreigners picked
up their hats and started for the door.
It is almost unnecessary tosay that the
Judge called them back and gave them
full sentence.
Many of our readers are. familiar
with the manner in which AN army
Quartermaster gets his supple for
the soldiers of the command to which
he is attached, viz, by q requisition,
and in the same manner the supplies
for the Centennial Guard are OBJ
tanned. During the early days of the
Exhibition, Major Alberger, who was
then acting as Quartermaster walked
into the office Of the Centennial Com
mission, from whom his supplies were
drawn, and handed to the dignifed
clerk a requisition. He examined it
closely, read it through, and handed
it back, saying that it was of such a
singular character he could hardly act
upon it without referring it to some
one higher in authority than himself.
The Quartermaster then took it to the
higher authority, who scanned it
closely several times, and turning to
the unfortunate officer, said:
"Major, I always had an idea that
you were an efficient officer and a good
man; but, sir, when you hand in re-
QUESTION to me for fifteen cats, I
think you need rest-a change of air !!
Would you like to have frulough for
a little while, Major?''
The Major, with one of his luxurious,
Floridian smiles, replied:
mo, sir; [ don't need rest, nor a
change OF air, nor yet a furlough but
in the haste of unpacking the foreign
pictures in Memorial Hall, many Of
them have to be left sitting against
the wall while waiting for their turn
to be hung, and the rats are eating
them. They have already done some
damage, and may do much more. If
you cannot get me the cats, sir, I can
procure them myself in little time. -
After looking sharply at the Major,
hesitating a moment and finally COM
pretending the fall situation, the
Commissioner simply remarked: 'sYou
shall have them, Major.'' In less
than forty-eight hours he did have
them, and any of our rural visitors can
see some of them around Memorial
Hall when they go there. The rats
disappeared and the pictures were
saved, all by the remarkable re-
QUESTION for fifteen cats.

BOSTON'S SHAME.

Boston GLOBE, 18th.
The work of demolishing the 8: Old
South Church, the act of shame to
Boston, has begun. The purchaser of
the Old South was bound to begin the
work, and in accordance with that
provision the sound of blows and break

But relic hunters have been obliged to
content themselves with the sound.

A HOMEMADE GUILLOTINE.

Lafayctt Ind, telegram 18th.
James A. Moore, aged about IS, iv-
ing on farm near the Farmers In
stitute, about Is miles south of this
city, committed suicide at the Lair
House, in this city, last night. He
leaves wife and three children. No
cause is known for the deed. The
manner in which it was accomplished
is perhaps unparalleled in horrid in
genuity. He came to the Lahr House
Saturday, said he was perfecting an
invention, and would probably stay a
week, but would visit his home Mon
day, and prepaid his bill till that time.
He called at the machine. shop of Har-
dina & Sons, had a large new broad
Ak and two bars Of three-inch wide by
one-inch thick iron, Is inches long,
which he had riveted to the head of
the ak. On either side, fastened to
these bars in the shape of a handle to
an AK, he had system of wooden bars
eight feet long, the extreme end of
which was fastened to crOss-piece,
secured to the floor by hinges. The AK
was raised and held to its nearly per.
pendicular position by double cord,
fastened to the wall. Between the
cords stood a candle, arranged 50 that
when the candle burned down to the
cords it would burn them off, and the
AK fall. Where the AK would strike
he placed small box, open on one
side, in which, when found, was his
head with some cotton, which had
been chloroformed. His chin was
held up from his neck by stick run
across the box. through holes on either
side, holding his head firmly in po-
sltlon. He was strapped tightly to the
floor with two straps, one around his
legs, another about his arms and
breast. The straps were both screwed
to the floor, rendering it impossible
to move. It is supposed that he set
his AK, lit the candle and strapped
himself to the floor, put his head in
the box with the chloroformed cotton,
and was probably insensible when the
ak fell. The ak and fixings would
weigh about so pounds, and would fall
distance of from 10 to Is feet. His
head was completely severed from the
body, and the ak buried in the boards
beneath.

~ &>7 .zzs JAMES o. BELLS.
When medicine will promptly cure such
terrible eating ulcers and free the blood OF
the virulent poison causing them, who can
longer doubt its wonderful virtues? Dr.
Pierce, however, does not wish to place his
Golden Medical Discovery in the catalogue OF
quack patent nostrums by recommending ii
to cure every disease, nor does he so recon-
mend it; but what he does claim is this, that
there is but one form of blood disease that il
WIN not cure, and that disease is cancer. He
does not recommend his Discovery for that
disease, yet he knows it to be the most
searching blood cleanser yet discovered, and
that it will free the blood and system OF all
other known blood poisons, be they animal
vegetable or mineral. The Golden Discovery
is warranted by him to cure the worst forms
OF Skin Diseases, as all forms of Blotches,
Pimples and Eruptions, also all Glandulai
Swellings, and the worst form of Scrotulous
and liberated Sores OF Neck, Legs or othe,
parts, and all Scroti1lous Diseases OF the

County Convention.

We suggested two weeks ago that the Re-
sasssiscans of the various townships hold meet
tags on the third Saturday in March. to appoint
delegates to County Conyentians to meet in
Stanton on the fourth Saturday in March, to
appoint three delegates to the State Conven-
lion, which meets i'll Lynchburg on the 18th OF
.pril
Since then, we have had conversations with
,sr.ous members of the party from different
townships, and they all agree that it would be
better to hold mass Convention on the fourth
saturday in March in Stanton, instead of the
township meetings, to send the delegates to
LyncAkafg. We hope, therefore, there will be
as manly attend as can conveniently be pres
CIT. The business of the Convention can be
quickly disposed of, and those attending will
be detained but a very short time.
The Republican party Of Augusta have in
ts organization some Of the best isaen in the
county, and we hope as many of this real sub
s'antiai class will convene as can get here.
We refer to the call for the State Convention
published again to-day, where the authority
and necessity for this County Convention will
