CONSERVATIVES TAKE NoTIcE,-Every moment
of delay makes your cure more hopeless, and much
depends on the judicious choice of remedy. The
amount of testimony in favor of DR.. Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup, as cure for consumption, far ex-
ceeds all that be brought to support the preten-
sions of any other medicines. See DR.. Schenck's
Almanac, containing the certificates sof many per-
sons iof the highest responsibility who have been
restored to health, after being pronounced incurabe
by physicians Of acknowledged ability. Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many, as these
evidences will show; but the cure is often promoted
by the employment of two other remedies which DR.
schenck provides for the purpose. Thes additional
remedies are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Man
drake Pills. By the timely use of these medicines,
according to directions, DR.. Schenck certifes that
most any case of Consumption may be cured.
DR.. Schenck is professionally at his principal office,
Corner Sixth and Arch Streets Philadelphia, every
Monday, where all letters for advice must be d.
dressed. feb1deod3p&w1msn

A HoAx.-A story was circulated yesterday
afternoon on the street that the Allan steamer
Circassian, Capt. Smith, which is now due, was
ashore on Green Island. Owing to the state of
the weather the report caused quite an excite
ment about town. Upon enquiry at the office
of the line information was obtain ID that the
whole story was hoax, and that the steamer
had not been heard from. Green Island was
in plain sight from the Observatory but no yes
sci was seen near it during the day.

OCCULTATIoN OF THE PLEIADEs.-In pearly
every lunation in the present and next three
years the moon will, to the northern hemis.
phere, appear to pass over the whole or part
of this we'll known cluster of stars, and once or
twice in each of the four years will the occul-
tation be visible in every place in north lati-
tude. But Of all the six or eight eclipses of
this group to be visible in this part of the
United States in these four years, it is believed
not one will take place under more favorable
circumstances than the one this evening, which
occurs when the moon is not near the full, at
convenient hours and altitude for observations,
with the immersion on the dark side of the
moon, and when nearly all the bright stars in
the group will be collapsed. The brightest star,
Alcyone, or rs Taurus, is of the third magni-
tude; II and q Taurus of the fourth; 20 and %
of the fifth, and 16 and % of the 51th; all of
which will be eclipsed here except 20 land that
also south of New England) and it is probable
if the sky is clear the dimensions of all of
them may be seen with a common spy-glass,
and those of %, II and q with an opera glass;
Five other stars, smaller or of seventh magni-
tude, will also be ecipsed, viz: 1164, 1165, I'LL,
1852 and 1887 B. A. G, which can be seen only
with a telescope.
The calculated Portland time of the ihmers-
ions is as follows:
Of II Tauri 9th mag) Oh 45m ass p. m star Am ass
north of moons centre.
OF 16 Tauri (a mag) 10h 10m Is p. m. star Ism lbs
north of moons cehtre.
Of % Tauri 18th mag) 1Uh 2sm IS p. m. star ON It's
south of moons centre.
OF 70 Tauri I'D mag) 1lh ON SIS p m. star 3m Is
south of moons centre.
OF 2S Tauri (55 MACY 11h 45m IS p. m. star am 53s
south of moons centre.
Of q Tauri 9th mag) 1h aim 25s p. star 9m 50s
south of moons centre.
Nearest approach of the moon to 20 at 10h 53m star
ON 40s north of the edge.
EMERSON of 25 I'D mag 2h I'm 36s star I'm 23s south
of the centre. Acyone will therefore be eclipsed
