NOMINAL, ?. O., Oct. -, 1o7e
MR. b. 4. STEVENS: Dear Sir-Ahout fifteen
years ago was troubled with Scrcfulous Humor,
which settled on my lungs and brought on severe
cough. Iconsuted I'VE SIX Of the best physicians
in Boston, but they gave up treating me, said there
was no hope Of cure, and they could do nothing
more for me. A friend who had used vEGETINE
In his family recommended me to try 1t. pro-
cured three bottles and before finishing the third
bottle found myself entirely cured, and had not
another attack Of scrofuls for nine years. After
that period had to get some more VEGETINE,
but 1t quickly restored me to health again, and
have not had third attack. am sixty-nine years
old and since becoming aware Of the virtues of
your medicine, have given It to my children and
grandchildren. and have recommended it to my
friends. The results have been Invariably all that
could be desired. Previous to my first trial Of the
FEGETINE had cancer removed, and scrcfu-
ous sores broke out on me, but none have appeared
since. and bslieve it superior to any Of the Family
Medicines in use. MARIA J. KIMBALL.
can vouch for the above statement In every
particular, and consider VEGETINE the best
Family Medicine now In use.

pocket and commenced looking
through its we'll filed columns for
something Of interest. But nothing
that he tried to read took hold Of his
mind. Steadily lis thought turned
itself away from things Of general iu-
tercst, and lowered around his pair of
vases, the purchase on which he was
already soberly regrettiug. Onward
to the pay day his mind was begin
ming to reach, and the difficulty of
saving twenty five dollars from his
income had u disbeartening look.
The idea of being in debt was pro-
duclng an uncomfortable feeling.
Two, three or four months. So the
storekceper had said. After two
months then, the twenty-five dollars
would be due; and four months was
limit Of time. The sum could not be
paid in two months-the quarters
rent would intcrtere-and 50, FROM
that period he would be in the un-
comfortable state Of debtor not able
to pay; borne with, two months longer
Oh sullerauGe. How native pride and
independence felt a sting Of shame.

In our issue Of Wednesday We made
wayside reference to the sad sinking
at sea Of the steamer Borussia, off the
Azores, with SO Large q living freight.
The case was Illustrated BY a few By
robic lines, descriptive Of q sinking
ship, one of which ran thus: s.I
"And the sea yawned around her like hell"
By slight piece of carelesnets or
the part of the intelligent compositor
and the careful proof reader, the in-
definite article, a, preceding the dire
substantive, hell, was omitted, and
thus the step between sublimity and
profanity was accomplished. We wish
all our readers who have puzzled over
the matter to supply the missing link.

BAYoU PLAQUEMINE.-Says the Ib-
erville South: Capt. Chas. A. Brusle
has shown us a letter from Hon. j. H.
Acklen, in which lie states that we are
in error in reference to the survey of
Bayou Plaquemine made this year.
That the survey made was for specific
purposes aud that before anySappIo-
Priation can be made by Congress for
the Bayou Plaquemine another survey
will necessarily have to be made. He
promises to endeavor to have this SUR
vey ordered at this session of Congress
in order that something may be done
for the navigation of Bayou Plaque
mine at the ensuing session.
