Ponds Extract.

We have heard, as well as experienced many
instances Of the marvellous virtues Of this pro-
prietary remedy, but none more remarkable
than the one we are now about to relate. On
the evening of Sunday. Oct II, Mr.. John Ross
well known to the whole billiard public as a
member Of the leading irm of VIM. II. Griffith
& Co., Billiard Table Manufacturers, OF New
York, retired to rest seemingly in his usual
good health. About O'Clock A. NJ. he woke and
found his pillow and portion Of his bed
clothing saturated with blood, which was still
being discharged from his nose. He arose and
expended some time in his endeavors to check
the hemorrhage, but was finally forced to
arouse his family (he is a widower) to his as
sistance. When all the means at hand were
Intellectually exhausted the family physicla
was sent for, and he in turn brought to his AID
two other medical practitioners, one Of them
an English surgeon Of exalted reputation.
During Monday, Tuesday and large portion
of Wednesday, not an hour elapsed without
some new efforts In benalf OF the sunerer.
Nothing that ability, skill, or experience could
suggest was spared-refrigerants, chahngs,
heavy lacing, strong stimulants, etc., were ex-
ternally applied, while plugging, injections,
and scores of interval remedies were tested
ALL all in vain; and medical skill admitted
that it was successfully baffied, and there was
no hope. At this time sister Of the sufferer
Mrs. Griffith) suggested her favorite family
remedy-Pond's Extract "Try anything you
think might help him." responded the attend
ing physician, but in a tone Of voice convince
ing to all that heard 1t that the patient was
far beyond human aid. The Extract was pro-
cured, little injected into the sick mans nos
trls, while cloth saturated with it covered
his face from the upper lip to the forehead.
The effect was truly astounding. This man
had been bleeding for over sixty hours and
had completely exhausted the best medical
talent available: but, when Ponds Extract
was applied, the hemorrhage was completely
stopped in space Of time not exceeding three
minutes, and the man, as it were, raised from
the grave Although confined to his house for
couple OF weeks, and scarcely yet recovered
his usual robust health Mr.. Ross is compara-
lively well man again, and there has been
no return of the bemOrrhage. Himself and
family feel assured that but for the opportune
application OF Ponds Extract he could scarce
y have survived the night through, as he had
already lost over a gallon Of blood before the
hemorrhage was successfully abated.

OLD.FAsHIONED HIGHWAYMEN.

A correspondent of the London News
Of May 81, writing from WoolWich, says:
The police have been actively excited by
the perpetratIon of a daring highway
robbery on B,ackheath, the equal OF
which has scarcely been known to the
present generation. On Monday even
ming Mr. Ii. II. Hodsson, one of the
solicitors to the Treasury, visited his
brother-in-law, the Rev. W. Nj. Thomp.
son, of NightIngale-terrace, Woolwich
Common, i'll company with his sister and
niece, and at $3.50 at night they left in a
hired carriage TO return home. The car
riage, closed landau, was engaged only
a few mi utes before their departure OF
nelghboring flymaster named Smith,
and was driven by William Rogers, a
steady man OF thirty-Gve years of age.
TO reach its destination the carriage
had to cross Blackheath by rather
lonely road, near to the late residence
OF his Royal Highness the Duke of Con-
naught, and this was the scene of Mon
day nights exploit. 1t was about $3.50
the gravel pit when two men rushed
TO the horse's head from either side of
the road, seized the reins with such
yigor that the horse, which had been on
| q brisk trOt, was thrown back on its
launches, and each presenting a pistol
at the head OF the driver, threatened to
blow out his brains if he spoke or moved.
With an amount OF deXterlty which the
startled driver eau not comprehend,
| they unbuckled the reigns from the bit,
leaving the animal beyond control, and,
Just as MIR. Holgson opened the car
riage window 10 inquire the cause OF the
delay, he was confronted by one of the
highwaymen, while the other slmulta-

The two ladies were very much agltated,
and the gentleman, fearing that a pis toll
shot aimed at himself might accident
ally injure one his companions, handed
TO the hlgnWaymen the loose silver
which he had in his pockets-about five
shillings. This they told him would
not satisfy them, and they asked for his
purse, which he delivered with It's con-
tents-two G5 bank-notes and about 97
in gold. Immediately on receiving the
purse, and without waiting TO examine
It, the thieves ran Off in the direction OF
Greenwich, and disappeared in the dark
ness. Inc driver, VINO, while the foot
pads were engaged at the carriage
windows, had been reiastening his reIns
to the horse's head, was then ordered to
drive to the nearest police station,
where information Of the occurrence
