The reputation it has attained, in consequence OF
the marvellous cures it has produced during the
last half century, is sufficient assurance to the
public that it will continue to realize the happicst
results that can be desired. In almost every
section Of country there are persons, publicly
known, who have been restored from alarming and
even desperate diseases of the lungs, by its use.
Allwho have tried II, acknowledged superiority;
and where its virtues are known, no one hesitates
as to what medicine to employ to relieve the dis
tress and suffering peculiar to pulmonary afec-
tions. CHERRY PICTORIAL always affords in
slant relief, and performs rapid cures of the
milder varieties ofbronchial disorder, as well as
the more formidable diseases Of the lungs.
AS asafeguard to children, amid the distress.
ing diseases which beset the Throat and Chest of
Childhood, it is invaluable; for by its timely use
multitudes are rescued and restored to health.
This medicine gains friends at every trial, as
the cures it is constantly producing are too re-
markable to be forgotten. No family should be
without it, and those who have once used it
never will.
Eminent Physicians throughout the country
prescribe it, and Clergymen often recommend it
from their knowledge of its effects.

Hanging q Woman.

Selma Wadge was executed yester.
day morning. at Bodmin jail. for the
murder Of her child, at LauDceston. on
the 2lst Of July last. The represent
atives of the press being refused admis-
sion 10 the prison, some difficulty was
experisnced in obtaining any reliable
information of the circumstances at
tending the execution, but the scene ap-
pears to have been an unusually painful!
one; all the officers, including the
chaplain and Under Sheriff, being
much affected. There has been no exc
cutiou in the Jail for sixteen years pre-
viously. Up to seven o'clock yesterday
morning it was generally believed that
. reprieve woald arrive. but at that
hour . communication was received by
the Clerk of the Peace, to the effect
that the, Home Secretary could not see
his way to interfere with the due course
Of the law. An hour later the unfo1-
tunsts woman had paid the penalty Of
her crime. The chsplsir remained
with her from 7:l5 until the drop fell.
She sobbed greatly q she walked from
the cell to the scafold, and on ascend
ing the steps WAS heard say. Lord de-
liver me from this miserable world
Marwood, the executioner. gave drop
of eight feet, and Wsdge died without
struggle. graphing tightly in her hand
q handkerchief. The accused. it will
oe remembered, threw her child down
q we'll, and at her trial alleged that she
had been induced to 90 SO by a man
named Westwood. who WAS counting
her. and who, she said, promised to
marry her if she got rid Of the child.
The jury who found her guilty recon-.
mended her to mercy. on account OF her
previous love for her children, and be-
cause they considered the murder was
unprecedented; but Mr.. Justice Dem
man, in passing sentence Of death.
implored the accused not to rest upon
the recommendation. although he
would forward it to the proper quar-.
ter. Since then appeals from oil parts
of the country have been sent to the
Home Secretary, praying for a remis-
sion Of the sentence, but without
avail. The execution was originally
fixed for Monday last. but it WAS post
ponsd till yesterday morning. a. Mar.
woods engagement prevented him from
coming earlier. After her oondsm-
nation Wadgc received q letter from
the man Westood, who was o witness at
her trial, begging forgiveness When
his letter was read to her, her reply
was:
"Yes. he needed forgiveness for many
things.' or words to that effect. It 10
said that she made statement to the
chaplain, which tho reverend gentle

Whereas, a bill has been intro

view with regret the proposed

Resolved, That, in the opinion

adoption Of the bill presented in

desirable, and we earnestly call to
