NOVA SCOTIA.

HALIFAX, Aug. 1.-THE wreck of
the steamer Burgas, in st. Mary's
Bay, n. T., creates much discussion
in the local papers. The Bur~
gas struck on the rocks in
Mariners Cove, in a dense fog,
July 18th. The Captain engaged
the help of fishermen and
was busy saving the cargo when
more than forty large boats appeared
containing three or four hundred
men who boarded the wrecked ship
in spite of protests and began
carrying off the cargo. They
cleared the decks of wheat and
everything else movable, including
four hundred sheep and then left.
Through the egertions of the local
authorities, three schooner loads of
the stolen property were recovered
and other small lots have since been
given up, but most of it IS still in
the hands of the marauders.

TIC medicine that can be employed: cleans
ing tie stomach and bowels, and even the
blood Ia small doses of one pill day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assinilative organs of the
body, and are SO composed that obstruc-
tions within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
tul effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their aperient action they gripe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the clements of weakness. An
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills NAV
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
rom their use IN any quantity.

This Sarsaparilla is a combination OF
vegetable alternatives - Stillingia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock with the lodldes
of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
efficacious medicine yet known 1or
the diseases it is intended to cure.
It's ingredients are so skilfully COM
bined, that the full Alternative effect OF
each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, 1t Is
still so effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptlons
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun-
try repose in it; prove their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence Of the superiority of this Sar
saparilla over every other Alternative
medicine. So generally is its superi
ority to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

Brass Bands-Their Uses and Abnses.
Mr.. EDITOR: I like brass bands.
They serve useful purpose on appro
priste occasions. And I admire the
public spirit of those who compose our
amateur brass bands in this pleasant
and enterprising city of Knoxville.
But brass bands, like everything el>e
of mans invention, have their uses
and also may have their abuses.
Now, I am endeavoring to be a
Christian, as I believe my neighb0rs
are, and 1 submit to those who know
the desperate wickedness ofthe human
heart, and its capacity, when irrila-
ted and enraged beyond forbearance,
to seriously entertain thoughts OF MUIR
der, and to express itself vehemeutly
in words not strictly of theological
caste that it is not conducive to Chris
tian development, and growth in
grace, to be rudely awakened out of q
peaceful slumber after midnight by
the - - noises of brass
band, close by, in the public street.
Mind! 1 am not cavilling at cur brass
bands. 1 hope they will go on, and
improve. Il would suggest that ii
may be there is more room for improve
nent outside of town, and then too,
change of air is always beneficial. es-
pecialIy TO those, who, through expo.
sure to the night air, are threatened
with lung troubled.) l repeat. / have
an affection for brass bands-and /
would not like to have that affection
obliterated, nor my Christian growth
which | know will possess me, il
awakened too often at dead of niffht
by their truly electrical strains.
