RAILROAD EXCURSIONS TO BARNUMs.-Our
railroad managers have decided that the sur
burban population shall have an opportunity to
see the "Great" Barnum's Great new show" at
almost as little expense as our own citizens To
that end they have all arranged to make hall
fares, and in some instances even lower rates
to Portland, on July 18th and 1Sth-Barnum's
days here-from all stations included in dis
tances of from thirty 10 hundred miles from
the city. As rule they sell admission tickets
to the show together with the railroad ticket fol
the convenience of their patrons. Some OF the
roads will run extra night trains for those who
wish to attend the evening performance.

PICTURES AT THE CENTENNIAL.-The Phil
adelphia Bulletin in speaking of the art exhi
bition at the Exposition, says: H. B. Brown
has on exhibition stirring marine. view on
the north coast of Ireland, the sea dashing in
foaming masses against the basalt cliffs, which
loom up vaguely through the rosy-yellow mist
The same paper says; G. P. A. Healey has a
portrait of Hon. E. B. Washburne. The pict.
ure, three.quarter length, seated, is quite the
most impressive, the action and expression
being alike exceedingly powerful, but this
arises from the exceptionally fine character Of
the subject.

DIR. SCHENCK's PULMoNIc SYRUP, SEA WEED
TONIC, AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These medicines
have undoubtedly performed more cures of Con-
sumption than any other remedy known to the
American public. They are compounded of vegeta-
BILE ingredients, and contain nothing which can be
injurious to the human constitution Other rene
dies advertised as cures for Consumption, probably
contain opium, which is a somewhat dangerous drug
in all cases. and if taken freely by consumptive pa
tlents it must do great injury; for its tendency is to
course, must make cure impossible. Schenck's
Pulm0nic Syrup is warranted not to contain parti-
Gle of opium. 1t is composed of powerful but harm
less herbs, which act on the lungs, liver, stomach
and blood, and thus correct all morbid secretions
and expel all the diseased matter from the body
These are the only means by which Consumption can
be cured, and as Schenck's Pnlmonic Syrup, Sea
Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the only medi-
cines which operate in this way it is obvious they
are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consump-
ton. Each bottle of this invaluable medicine is ac-
companied by full directions. Dr. schenck is pro
fessionally at his principal Office, corner Sixth and
Arch Streets, Philadelphia, every Monday, where all
letters for advice must be addressed
