they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than a quarter of a century. and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are SO composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or eyade 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
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their apesient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatiyes, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infiamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted 10 all ages and conditions in
all climates. containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh.

being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use IN any quantity.

"The procession at Judge Orton's funeral
was very fine and nearly two miles in length
as was also the beautiful prayer Of Rev. DIR.
Swing from Chicago"

"a sad accident happened to the family OF
John Alderkin on Main street yesterday.

of him, and yet what more easy He was
always in and out Of the cabins, and would
be sure to notice the box; and evidently
thinking it contained valuables, had stolen
it, Having done so and finding suspicion
already fallen upon Stevenson, nothing was
more easy than to hide the empty box where
it was found. All this was ascertained to
be substantially correct; for the man was
arrested, and soon after confessed his dread
full crimes.

Stevenson was discharged without stain

ing to the solicitations of his daughter, and
convinced of Stevenson's worth, consented to
their engagement. In due time they we're
married, and, as the story-books say, were
happy ever after And both will ever re-

UNDER THE OcEAN.-The average depth
of the ocean is, according to the latest cal
culations, about 1877 fathoms, or over two
miles. The greatest depth known to exist
is near the Kurile Island, in the northwest
Pacific, about five miles and a quarter. The
highest mountain existing is Of about the
same height as the deepest sea is deep.
The sides of the ocean basins are not all
steep. They are mostly so little inclined that
an ordinary locomotive engine could run up
them in a straight line with ease. The steep
est slope known is at Bermuda, where there
is an inclination of nearly twenty degrees
from the edge of the reef to 1000 fathoms

Poor PoLAND.-For participation in the
insurrection of 1862 "a, eighty-three thou
sand four hundred and thirty.four Poles
were condemned to perpetual expatriation
and transported to Siberia or Russia's out
lying provinces. Above ten thousand con-
trived to escape to foreign countries, but the
greater number of these suffered the loss of
their entire property, con6scated by the
State, and have abandoned all hope of ever
returning to their native land. Three hun;
dred and sixty patriots were hanged in cold
blood by their captors. Fines to the amount
of two million roubles were levied on "the
Vistula provinces" and two thousand seven
hundred estates were sequestrated and con-
ferred on Russian mobiles. All the public IL
braries were either destroyed or conveyed
out of the country by MuravieAf's orders,
and the outrages committed on defenseless
women and ecclesiastics constitute one of the
most revolving records of modern history.
