DR.. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y, the
proprietor Of DR.. Pierce's Family Medi-
cines, and also of the Invalids' and Tour
lists Hotel, of that city, has recently been
elected to Congress by the very hattering
majority of nearly 5000. He has already
served his constituency as State Senator,
and this renewed endorsement signifies that
his services have been highly satisfactory
His extensive practice in the treatment Of
Chronic Diseases will not, we are informed
be neglected or suffer in the least when the
time arrives for him to take his seat in Con
grese, it being entrusted to his brother and
other experienced medical gentlemen who
have long been associated with the Doctor
in the Medical Department Of his celebrat-
ed Worlds Dispensary and Inyalids' Hotel
Besides, as the Forty-sixth Congress does
not convene until December, 1879, DR..
Pierce's patients viii not lose his personal
attention for some months yet

Remains the great favorite for our substantial
country population. A high authority has said OF
it that "THE WEEKLY tribune has done more tC
make good farmers and good citizens than any
other single influence that has ever existed in this
country" II is now larger than any of its rivals
its new form Sixteen pages carefully indexed and
suitable for binding), has proved exceedingly pop
ular, and its large, clear type, so different from
that Of most papers of its class, is a special at
traction. Its agricultural department, under the
special management of an experienced agricultu-
raj editor, with a staff of several assistants and
large corps Of special contributors, Is more care
fully conducted than ever, and it has always been
considered the best. Its market reports are the
official standard for the Dairymen's Association,
and have long been the recognized authority on
cattle, grain and general country produce. There
are special departments for the young; and for
household interests; while poetry, fiction, and the
humOrs of the day are all abundantly supplied,
The ensuing year there also may be expected,
