There is no person living but what
suffers more or less with Lung Disease,
Coughs, Colds or Consumption, yet some

HAMMER & KINGS.

On one day of last week, while the
streets of our city were most bountifully
supplied with plenty of all-oyertown-
mud-a lad Of about seven summers W as
attempting TO cross Market street. Just in
front of this Office, when he stuck so
fast that in attempting to pull out, one of
his boots was left behind. The little man
stopped and picked it up, and then, with
it in his hand, pulled through to the
opposite shore. Arriving on the other
side, our young hero deliberately sat down
and pulled off his other boot, and taking
one in each hand, surveyed the situation
with an air that seemed to say, Gwen
see who is boss" and commenced to re-
trace his steps to our side, where he
landed in safety. Ne could not help
exclaiming
blessings on thee little man,
Barefoot boy with cheeks of tan,
From my heart give thee joy,
L was once a barefoot boy"

to the advertisement of the Staunton Female
Seminary, Rev. j. J. Miller, Principal. We
have attended the closing exercises of this In
-stitute for the education of young ladies even
since it's opening, and we can conscientioasly
say, that it is one of the best regulated and
conducted schools we have ever known. The
method Of instruction. the rules governing the
domestic administration, and the results, all
attest that pupils committed to the care OF this
Institute, will be cared for mentally, morally
and physically. The arrangements Of the
buildings are admirable, the location pictur-
ssque and healthy, and altogether, we know of
no Seminary that we could more honestly re-
cauanlend TO public patronage.
