POMPEII.

Excavations at Pompeii prove the
city to have been one of the most fash
ionable and beautiful of Roman summer
resorts, and but for the eruption it
might have remained so TO this day. AS
with Pompeii, so with thousands of peo-
pie who have beauty of form and fea-
ture. They might always be admired
but for the srupiioI, that makes the
face unsight!y, and betrays the presence
of scrofula, virulent blood poisoDs, or
general debility. There is but one rem
edy that positively cures these affec-
tions, and that remedy is DR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t is the
best known tonic, Alternative, and resol-
vent. It speedily cures pimples, bloich-
es, liver spots, and all diseases arising
from impoverished or impure blood. 1t
also cures dyspepsia, and regulates the
liver and bowels Sold by druggists.

VrLLANIoUs.-As Mr.. John Burkhart,
Jr, residing near Tuscarora, was sta
bling his horse OH Thursday night last,
he heard a noise in his smoke house.
Upon bis enquiriDg who was there, the
thief, and would be assassin, stepped
boldly out and commenced firing upon
Mr.. b. one of the shots taking effect in
his hand, producing pretty severe
wound. II is not known whether the
object OF the villain was TO assassinate
Mr.. b. or whether his purpose was 10
commit robbery. At all events Mr.. b.
ran anarrow chance for his life, four
ahOts being fired at him. IL being quite
dark Mr.. B. could not tell whether he
was white or black. 1t is to be hoped that
the rascal will be ferreted out.-Martins-

settlers For hours it poured down
in steady streams. Ravinss were
filed with catnracts, and as result
the Dodgeville branch was soon seen
