SANF0RD'S RADICAL CURE

Gentlemen-My case is briefly as follows: have
had Catarlh for ten years each year with increas.
ing severity. For nine years had not breathed
through one nostril. had droppIngs in the throat
to take remedy for it at night before being able
lie down and sleep, and constant dull pain in my
head My head was at times so full of catar rhal
mater as to injure my of hearing and compel
me to get up several times in night to clear it and
my throat before could sleep. Every of these
distressing symptoms has disappeared under the
use of not quite three bottles OF sanfords Radical
Cure My hearing is fully restored. have no
asthmatic symptoms, no cough, no droppings in the
throat, no headache, and in every way better than
have been Tor years. 1 could feel the effects OF
the Cure on my appetite, on my kidneys and in fact
every part of my system. What has been done in
my case is wholly the effect of the Radical Cure.
Very respectfully,
q. Ii. LAWRENCE.

A BYWAY TO HEALTH.

''Nobody ever repented of eating too
little,n was the sage remark of a gentleman
on the verge of ninety, next to whom the
writer had the pleasure OF sitting at din
ner the other night. The host was press
ing him to take more, and urging him in
the usual phrase, "Why. you have eaten
scarcely nothingr' Now it is to be as
sumed that the old gentleman's words in
dicated one of the byways to good health
along which he had travelled through his
long life. and 10 which he owed his pres
ent remarkably hearty condition; so it
was suggested to him interrogativcly that
he had always been a small Feeder. YES"
he answered, ''ever since was one or two
or three and twenty; up to that time
was weakly fellow enough, and / used
to make the great mistake of trying to eat
and drink all | could, in the hope of be-
coming strong. All my friends and the
doctors backed me in my error; but for
tunately | found it out in time, and
knocked of'-'as your modern slang has
it-more than half my usual amount of
food and stmuants. | gave up the idea of
making myself strong and merely strove to
make myself well, and 80 | was contented
with eating just as much as could digest
and no more. OF course It took little time
experience to discover the precise limits;
| could not adopt the golden rule Of always
leaving off with an appetite because Inever
began with one, but by persistent erring
on the right side got hold of one of the
great secrets of life-the secret of know
ing when one has enough, and after
year or two became so much better that
| used to find myself keenly ready to eat
at meal-time, and by degrees actually ac-
quired an appetite. Then, once found,
never destroyed it, but always determin-
ately rose with a feeling that should like
to eat more. Naturally the temptation for
a while grew greater as my digestion grew
stronger; but | was firm; did not be-
have ungratefully to my stomach, and i'm
mediately presume upon its increased
powers by overlooking it; did not live to
eat, but only ate to live; and behold me
/ have no need to be very particular as to
what | eat, even at my time of life; |
have only to be careful not to eat too
much" Here, indeed, is the secret of
great deal that is amiss with many of us.
We are in the habit of eating too much,
more than our digestive powers can tackle,
and that which is not assimiated is more or
less poisonous. The system becomes
overcharged, and gives any latent tenden-
CIV to disease within US every faculty for
developing itself. The questionis, not so
much what to eat as what quantity to eat;
and nothing but sharp look out kept by
ourselves upon ourselves can give us the
1inslcy's Magazine.

As-This Company is acting under the provi-
sons OF Chapter lS9 OF the Laws of the State OF New
York, passed April 18th, 1874 entitled "An act to

this act the Stockholders of the Company can re-
ceive but seven per cent. per annum upon its Capt.
tai and net earned funds, until such earnings are,
apart for the greater protection of Policy holders.
Such earnings, as they accrue. are to be equally d

Fund and the Special Reserve Fund. The amount
ofthe Capital and of the Guaranty Surplus Fund.
are thereby made available without delay for the
payment OF claims, then existing, or caused by any
great connagration; while the Special Reserve
Fund is held under the provisions of the act, by the

BRooKlTN, Jan. 1S.-A schocking oc-
currencc took place this afternoon, in the
hallway of a tenement house, No. % Sic
gel street, Williamsburg. George Luck
housin, a German aged twenty-four, resid-
ing in New York, about six months ago he
became enamored of Augusta sneider, aged
seventeen, but an estrangement recently
occurred and Luckhousin, in a fit of jeal-
ousy to-day, first swallowed two ounces of
yitriol and then visited Miss sneidcr. When
she appeared in the hall way he drew re-
volver and fred at her, the ball wounding
her in the right hand. He then shot him
self in the head. Neither of the bullet
wounds are serious, but Luclheusin was re-
moved to hospital in dying condition
from the effects of the poison. Both parties
were in humble circumstances.

CHICAGO, H., Jan. l9.--Liquor manufac-

a tax of seventy cents per gallon and that
made subsequently ninety cents. 1t is now
developed that Chicago distillers antedatcd
an immense amount of liquor at an immense
profit TO themselves. The forms numbered
tifty-nine upon which this liquor should APP
pear for March 1874, are entirely missing

She is the true metal, known and appre-

not only the great public, but the theatrical
profession, hold in high esteem and nniver-
sal respect, at whom the finger of reproach
has never yet been leve'led, one who hoide
a happy abiding place in the hearts of all.
THE SPECTRE.
The latest imposition of Won Flotow
English Opera Troupe. The music of the
work is far more classical and exquisite in
many portions than that of "Martha."
Though one misses in the Spectre " lare
but familiar airs which have made
Martha " famous; their absence is CON-
pensated by new harmonies, most exquisite
and new melodies most grateful to the cul-
tured year.
Although there are charming recitatives,
new melodies and fresh harmonies dis
tributed through the whole score, yet there
seems a constant growing towards some
thing more beautiful until the elimination
is reached in the last act. In this is series
of the sweetest, most entrancing harmOnies
that ever floated into mortal ear 1t is
seldom that troupe appearing before
Wilmington audience is called before the
curtain at the end of each act, yet this was
the case with the Redpath Opera Company
when here last October. The sale of seats
for each night is already large, and there
is no doubt but that full houses will witness
both performances.

TWO YOUNG THIEVES IN THE MEsHEs OF
LAW.

TWO YOUNG THIEVES IN THE MEsHEs OF
Yesterday afternoon as the Delaware
train, which reaches this city at 4;05 P. NJ,
arrived at the depot Officer Legg, who was
waiting for its arrival, jumped aboard and
soon had two young negro boys of about
fifteen in his custody. They were both
faken to the City Hall and safely Gagged i'll
one of the cells.
1t appeared that the two young scamps,
who gave their names as John Hammersly
and Geo. Purnell, yesterday morning a.
Laurel, on the Delaware Railroad, watched
about the post-otfice until the clerks atten-
tion was called to another part of the
room, when they quietly distracted
nearly all the money which was in the
cash drawer nearly s50.kThey then went to
the depot and purchased tickets for Phila
delphia, taking the train which left within
a short time and came on to this city. Th>'
theft was discovered in short time. and
word was telegraphed to the conductor Of
the train, who notified Officer Legg, and
the boys were arrested. They gave up S26
Of tile stolen cash, having spent
the balance in the purchase of tickets to
Philadelphia and forcigars and dinner. They
will both be taken to Laurel this
morning for trial in that town. One OF
them denies completely in the robbery.
