A GREAT DIsCovERY.-Not since the introduce
ton of vaccination by Jenner has any medical dis
c0very began to equal in Importance that of absoIp-
ton, as illustrated in Holmans Liver and Ague
Pad. Strange as it may seem to those who have not
investigated its curative power, evidences
whelming that this simple device, composed of
vitals, liver and stomach, will in remarkably short
space of time, master any of the long catalogue of
diseases having their origin in torpid liver or
diseased stomach Surely Boston land its vicinity
will give the Pad hearty welcome.

AN INTERESTING SUBsECT.-"1heD DIT
ference Bet,oeen Man and Animal From
a NsD Church Standpoint Contra to
Dar1cin, and the Application Of the
Theory of Euotution above sub
iect is one upon which the Rev. Mr..
Brickman, new church minister, will
discuss al tho Court House Theoiogi-
ans and scientists hold very different
views regarding the difference between
man and animals, and the common idea
is much in a chaos between the two ex-
tremes that 1t is kept in a painful state
of oscillation and uncertainty. The sub.
iect Is one upon which, no doubt, every
Intelligent person has spent some
thought. 1t is an extremely interesting
question, and a lecturer who will throw
new liz hit upon it, and in way tina,
everyone of ordinary mind can compre-
bend, will certainly attract may listen
ars.
When Mr.. Brickman was here before,
he leclured two evenings at the Court
House, and preached twice on Sunday
Unon every occasion the house was lit
orally crammed Among the audience,
we remembe we're quite number OF
professional gentlemen and Intelligent
ladies, and some of the former have re-
ouested Mr.. Brickman TO return. 1t is
certain that the lecture tonight will not
only be interesting, but such an array OF
truths presented as are seldom combined
in one lecture. Mr.. Brickmsn has the
happy faculty of clothing his idea in sim
pie language and illustrating his points
in the hsppiest manner. We expect to
see full house at the Court House to-
night.

The OPERA HoUsE.-John Thompson.
This well-known comedian appeared
at the Opera House last night in the role
Of "Nst Sykes the Snowman, and gave
a perform 4nce that was well worth wit
Messing, and which repaid al! present
Tor the time and money spent. Mr..
Thompson is IA comedian of no ordinary
merit, and in play adapted to his style
of acting, appears on q stage in manner
that carries his audience with him in
one continual vein Of humor. he is
certainly musical progidy, and IN play
ing on the different instruments which
he handles with great ability, cannot TAIL
to please the most critical observer MIR
Thompson, with one or two exceptions,
is we'll supported, but it is not expected
to find full company of stars. To-
night the company appear at Bellsire in
"On Hand" and the smusement-loving
people of that city should not i.il to at
tend. Thompson in the role of the
"heathen Chinee" being q whole show
of itself, he portraying true picture OF
"John" as he appears in his native land.
