Five Soldiers Killed and Thirty Five
Wounded.

ST.. PETERSBURG, Feb 17.-There has been
an abortive attempt to kill the Imperial family
by laying mine in the winter palace. Five
soldiers were killed and 50 wounded. The
mine was laid under the guard-room of the
palace, which is Immediately under the dining
hall. Owing to an accidental delay the Impe-
rial family had not entered the latter place at
the usual time. The explosion made hole in
the floor of the dining hall ten feet long and
SIX feet wide. The explosion occurred yestsr-
day at just about the usual dinner hour of the
family.
Opening Of the italian Parliam ent.
ROME, Feb. 1.-THE italian parliament
opened to-day. The speech from the throne
treats almost exclusively of international af-
fairs. 1t recommends the abolishing of the Irish
tax and the adoption of electoral reform and
bills in regard to foreign affairs. The speech
says Italy needs peace. 1t is therefore easy for
her to support the observance of the treaty of
Berlin and remain faithful to her promise to
be an element of progress and civilization in
Europe.
British Parliament.
Boston, Feb. 17.-In the commons Tonight
Meldon, Home ruler for Kildare, introduced q
motion in favor of equalization of the franchise
in Ireland with that of England and Scotland.
1t was rejected after some debate. Seed

From having been intimate number Of
years with the proprie;ors of 'Swift's Sy-
phili!ic Specific" have known much of
its manufacture and use. There are men
in this community-welt known citizens
who were victims in early life to Syphilis,
the most terrible curse that over af1iclsd the
human family, and who have taken the s. S.
S. medicine, and are now, 10 all appearances,
and in their own belief, as free from taint Of
disease as the first man, fresh from the hands
Of his Maker. Delicacy Of course forbidS
their public recommendationss Of this medi-
cine, but I am allowed to refer the sceptic
privately to those who will endorse every
thing that can be said in its favor Being
professionally much opposed to endorsing or
recommending noStrumS or secret remedies
it is with hesitation that l attach my name
TO this article; but know whereof speak
when I say that our science has no: made
public combination equal to "Switt's Sy-
philitic Specific" for the purpose indicated.
The greatest boon the government could be-
stow on hundreds Of thousands Of its citizens
would be 10 purchase this receipt Of its pro-
prietors, and make it public for the benefit
of the present and coming generations.

Funeral Sermon.

blessed are the dead who die in the
Lord" This was the text of the Rev.
j. D. Shirey in his sermon Sunday las,
at Beth Eden Church, on the recent
sudden and sad death of Mrs. Elizabeth
a. Sigh, wife Of Geo. A. Sigh, and we
thus xllude to it because it was one Of
the most beautiful tributes we ever re-
member hearing delivered. The Rev.
erend gentleman felt what he uttered,
and every word fell upon the ears of
tine large congregation with impressive
force, each one realizing that Tie loss
sustained in the death Of this noble
Christian woman is no ordinary loss.
The discourse occupied nearly an hour
and was worthy of the solemn occasion,
and there were no eyes but were
dimmed with tears Of sorrow and SYM
pathy. At the conclusion of the service
the face of the dead was uncovered and
the last look taken Of ore who was uni
versally loved by all; white and black
joining in the sad procession. Never
before did we witness scene which
touched the heart as this did.

We have no means Of ascertaining
how much egg nog was drank on Christ

considerable, Judging by the number of
cheerful countenances met on the
streets.
Our attention has been called tc' n
slight mistake in the account Of the

that Alr. 3. had paid for his chance
in the rattle. He had only put his name
down for a chance.
The Council removed its interdict in
regard to shooting roman candles and
rockets on Christmas night, on account
OF the dampness, and tue consequence
was lively time among the boys.
Even the girls took part in the fun.
Our terms are cash in advance, but if
we are persuaded by some oily indivi-
dual to send tile paper without the
money, we reserve the right of asking
for it occasionally, and it is the height
of folly for the individual to get angry.
The subscriber who is negligent about
paying because the amount is only 81,
will please remember that he is not the
only one who is in arrears, and that the
aggregate is what makes us unhappy.
Let each individual feel it duty to
pay.
A subscriber writes Us postal "that
if we were not so distant he would send

tance lends enchantment to the view.
Well we are not enchanted worth

than get tack in our foot. The ether
