Attention has been called to the fact that mas
much as salts of IIypophosphites are more readily
absorbed by the system, they are better indicated
as auxilaries with which to improve the blood,
and generally to cuie wasting disease, than all
other preparations from Phosphorus.
And since Phosphorus enters so largely into the
animal economy II becomes par excellence the best
vehicle with which to associate the other vitalIzng
ingredients of healthy blood, nerve and muscle.
In Fellows Syrup of llypophosphites are COM
bined all the substances found necessary to insure
robust health, and, whereas, it was invented with
a view to supply every deficiency, it certainly has
performed some wonderful cures.

The ice having left the river, the mystery of the
missing Capp girl is again revived. 1t must be
well remembered by all our readers that Miss Ella
l.. Clapp left her fathers house one evening in
October last, and has not since been heard from
Theory after theory was entertained in regard to
her disappearance, but all were abandoned, till
terrible state of uncertainty pervaded the minds OF
the people, This has since continued. There Is
bare possibility that she may have thrown herself
into the Kennebec. Although thorough search
was made for the body at the time, some trace may
yet be found of her. now that the river is free of
ice. Many years ago, the body of young lady
was found in the river here, after it had remained
in the water all winter. Will all humane persons,
whose calling leads them to the river, please be on
the lookout, by doing so, they will receive the
gratitude of the parents and friends Of the missing
young lady.

Whiskey Trial.

Col Brodhead of St. Louis testified before the
whiskey fraud select committee, that the circular
of Pierrepont had the effect of frightening wit
nesses in St. Louis. Two of them, Fitzroy and
Beauvis, came to him and told him that their
wives were greatly alarmed at publications in the
newspapers, explaining the effect of that circular,
and they feared that their husbands would at
once be. thrown into jail. Col. Brodhead had one
OF the treasury detectives IN ST. Leuis watching
the movements of Babcock's agents, and he re-
ported that two of Whiteley's favorite burglars in
St. Louis were intending to steal papers from the
district attorneys office. The detective went to
the burglars and told them their mission was
known, and that they had better clear.
Subsequently the detective reported to Brod-
head that Babcock paid $500 to these burglars
Brodhead gave the name of the detective, who
is now in Washington and ready to come before
the committee and is, according to Brodhead, one
OF the best men in the secret service in the treas
ury.
In relation to the testimony Of Gill, the letter
carrier, he said Revenue Collector Parker of Col
RADIO, who was working in the interest Of the de-
fence, visited Joyce at Jefferson City and then
came down to St. Louis, calling together all the
mail carriers and a,king them if they had not
taken Joyces letter TO Babcock, containing the
$500 which was mailed by Everest, ont of box.
This in Brodhead's opinion, showed that the story
of Gill was concocted between the defence, Par
ker and Joyce. lie will also swear that Postmas-
ter Filley Of St. Louis had dozen mail carriers
ready to coroborate Gill, in case the prosecution
had attempted to impeach him.
More Corruption.
D. Lawrence Simpkins testified before the COM
mittee investigating the alleged corrupt sale of a
naval cadctship by Representative Purman of
Fla, corroborating the two witnesses vino swore
last week that Purman told them that he would
not sell the cadetship to simpsins for $500, be-
cause another party had offered him $500.

Judoe TJood who had heen CHARGED with re.
ceiving money from Sawyer, the mail contractor,
for services in securing the mail contracts, testi
fed before the investigating committee that he
received $4,000 for services attorney from
1865 to 1868, during President Johnson's admins
traton. The remainder of the money he was
charged with receiving was to pay loans he had
