No use of any longer taking the large,
repulsive, gripping, drastic and Lauseous
pills, composed OF crude and bulky ingre.
dients, and put up in cheap wood or
paste board boxes, when we can, by a
careful application of chemical science,
extract all the ,cathartic and other medi-
cinal properties from the most valuable
roots and herbs, and concentrate them
into a minute Granule, scarcely larger
than q mustard seed. that can be readi-
ly swallowed by those of the most sensi-
tive stomachs and fast dious tastes.
Each of DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative
Pellets represents, in a most concentra-
ted form, as much cathartic power, as
is embodied in any of the large pills
found for sale in the drug stores. From
their wonderful cathartic power, in pro-
poi tion to their size, people who have
not tried them are apt to suppose that
they are harsh or drastic in effect, but
such is not at all the case, the different
active medicinal principles OF which
they are composed being so harmonized
one by the others, as to produce n mos!
searching and thorough, yet gently and
kindly operaring cathartic. The Pellets
are sold by dealers in medicines. eod&W

Analysed.
The nomination and Delegate elec>
,ions throughout the city, Saturday af'
ternoon, passed off quietly, except in
the Ninth Ward. Here controversy
occurred at the opening of the polls,
between Martin Farrell ,one of the cam
didates for Council, and policeman
Adam Orr. Farrell desired to swear the
votes to support of the successful
nominee but Orr protested against
we'll know Democrats being required
to take sworn pledge, but finally sug-
gested that tire men who refused to
support the Democratic candidate for
Council, last year, be pledged. This
pertinent suggestion reused the ire of
Farrell's friends, and they backed the
officer away from the polls. He retrea-
ted in good order, he says, with one
hand in his pocket, ready to grasp his
pistol in case he was violently assaults
ted. The other side ASSERT that he
drew his black jack, but, however, it
was, no further trouble then ensued.
AT Seven o'clock in the evening the
polls were closed, and a man who just
then arrived TO vote for Barnhill was
told that he was too late. Then Far.
rell voter arrived, and Martin insisted
that the window should be raised and
the vote received. The demand being
refused he dashed his fist through the
window scattering the glass into the
face of the Inspector Edward 9. John
son, and cutting him badly. This is
the majority report of the affair, but
Farrell says the Inspector Had closed
the window down upon his hand which
wasslying on the still, and refused to
raise it SC that he could release him>
self.
After the blow the crowd outside
were quick 10 resent, and Farrell's sups
porters of the afternoon being non est,
he was obliged to flee to the house OF
John Sweeney, near by. Here he re-,
mained until $50 O'Clock, when he
left in company with Street Commis,
sioner McCloskey, who went out to
conduct him in town. His friends
meanwhile, Intellectually secured the
Tenth Ward for reinforcements.
When informed of the trouble, Chic
OToole ordered the Sixth District meI
to remain on duty until 12 o'clock
land the Fifth District men to re
main near the Brandywine bridge
, 30 as to be ready in case of any emer'
gency, but NO trouble occurred.
Il Complaint is made in the Ninth Ware
that Farrell's majority was obtained
J from voters residing out of the Ward
A meeting will be held this evening
when the vote will be analysed and
} compared with the canvass list, anC
the candidate receiving the highes
number of legal votes declared ths

Letter from Rev. SylvaDus Cobb. OF Boston

BosToN, December "a, 1873


Dear Sir--It may be some satisfaction
to you to be informed of tho result of
the trial of the "PBRUvIAN SYRUp' in
my family. My daughter was brought
low by a typhoid fever last spring. and
after the fever left her she continued
very weak, and the simplest food dis
tressed her. For months she remained
from the lst of September last, when
she commenced taking the Syrup, the
digestive functions improved, and she
steadily gained strength and vivacity
and now, having taken two bottles, she
is restored TO IL good state Of health in
deed, she appears more really healthy
than she hes for several years past. I
am of opinion that the ''Protoxide of
Iron contained IN the Peruvian Syrup
was adapted to her case, and effected
what 10 other medicine could have ef-
fectcd. Yours truly, ). Corr.
