POUNDING A MINIsTER.-About o'clock
Monday evening a crowd might have been
seen gathering at Lemonts store on the Hill. ="
1t was in response to an invitation of the la
dies. The object was an attack upon the pas
tor of Congress street NJ. Z. church, Rev. VIM.
NJ. Sterling, and family. At given signal by
Marshal Bridges, the crowd moved on towards
the new parsonage, and so great was the num-
Der that all could not get comfortably in, and
the vestry was opened and soon filled. About
125 packages were brought, none less than a
pound, some a good deal more. Rev. Mr.
Sterling was taken by surprise, aud even when
he arrived at the vestry, was so unspeakably
happy that not a word could he utter publicly,
until Rev. Mr.. Luce loosened his toBgue. The
remarks of each were right to the point and
full of encouragement A very touching and
beautiful prayer by Mr.. Allen and friendly
greeting to all closed the pleasant and long
to be remembered interview between pastor
and people.

DIR. Wistar's BaIsam of Wild Cherry.
The standard remedy for the cure of coughs,
colds influenza, bronchitis, hoarseness, asthma,
wbooping cough. Group, sore throat, dlphtheria,
difficulty, of breathing. quinsy, phthisic, pain
in the side and breast, splitting of blood, liver
complaint, bleeding of the lungs and all dis.
eases of the throat, lungs and chest, intending
even consumption. 1t seems hardly necessary
to dilate at length upon the virtues of this fav-
orite remedy for all tbs diseases of the throat,
lungs and chest. 1t was introduced to the pub
lie by DR.. Wistar nearly half century since,
and by the wonderful cures which it performed
gained an immediate and enviabie reputation,
which to this day it has fully sustained. From
the gulf of the st Lawrence to the shores of
the Pacific, and in many countries abroad,
there are few villages or hamlets without Civ
ing testimonials to the rapidty and certainty
of its curative effects. The proprietors, mind
full of their responsibility to the afflicted, exer-
else the utmost care in the selection and CON-
pounding of the various ingredients of which
the Balsam is composed; and the sick are
assured that the high standard of excellence
on which its popularity is based, will always
be maintained.
