Miss Katie Putnam appeared last evening at

audience greatly thinned by the storm.
While this clever actress failed completely in the
pathetic part Of Little Nell she gave most amusing
representation of the Marchioncss. and the supper
scene with Dick Swiveller especially funny. Mr..

Mr.. j. F. Peters. Sampson Brass, and Miss Lottie

Not Her Forte.


The fashionable young lady takes pride

to do amenial labor. This is all very
well if she is wealthy butif she marries
a man in moderate circumstances, the
folly of her words becomes obvious. The
women who think it no disgrace to work
are proud of their homes, proud Of the
dinners they cook, and why not? They
are not ashamed to haveit said of them

Ayers Ague Cure,

For Fever and gue, Intermittent Fever,
Chin Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ku6y
all the affections which arise from malari-
Gus, marsh, or miasmatic poisons.
This is q compound remedy, preparcd with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, wiiiclt
rarely fails to cure the severest cases OF Ciiiils
and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
d remedy the necessities of the people in mala-
fious districts demand. Its greatsuperiority
over any other medicine yetdiscoyereil for iic
cure of Infermittents is, that it contains no our
nine or mineral, and those who take it are free
from danger of quinism or any injurious ELECTS,
and are as healthy after using it as before. It
has been extensively employed during the last
thirty years in the treatment of these distressing
disorders, and SO unvarying has been its SUGGEST
that ithas gained the reputationof being Inial-
lble, Itcan, therefore, be safely recommended
as a sure remedy and specific for the Fever and
Ague ftie West, and the Chilis and Fever OF
the South. It counteracts the miasmatic poison
in the blood, and frees the system from its innuE
ence, so that fever and ague, Shakes or chi1sf
once broken up BY ii, do notreturn until the
disease is again contracted.
The greatyarietyof disorders which arise from
the irritation OF this poison, such as Neuralgia,
| Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, blindness
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, raf-
pitation, Splenic Affections, Mysteries, Pain
IN Bowels, Collie, Paralysis, and derangc-
of the Stomaezi, all of which become inteumit-
tent or periodical, have no speedier remedy than
AYERS AGUE CURE, which cures them al alike,
and protects the system from future attacks. As
a preventive, it is Of immense service W flscss
communities where Fever and Ague prevails, as
it stays the development of the disease II taken
on the first approach efthe premonitory symp-
toms. Travellers and temporary residents are
thus enabled to defy these disorders, aud few
viii ever suffer il they avail themselves Of tho.
protection this remedy Affords
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpidity,
it is anexeellent remedy; it stimulates this organ
into healthy activity, and produces many rcniaFk<
able cures where other medicines fail.
