Gus vegetable ingredients, each enc
of which is acknowledged by the
medical profession to be the most
potent Of all the herbal remedies
known to medical science
But its great virtue is mainly at
tributable to the new and peculiar
proportions in which the harmoui-
Gus ingredients are combined, and
to the extreme care exercised in its
manufacture, using only the pure,
active principles, and excluding all
that is crude or irritating. No one

a notable tendency to improvement and q

A Military Sheriff.

The Committee of Fifty invite the electors
OF this city to vote for Col. EMMoNs CLARK
OF the Seventh Regiment as their candidate
for Sheriff.
Col. CLARK, We believe, is good militia
officer, and an efficient Secretary to the
Health Department. He is entirely compe-
tent to discharge the duties of the two Of
fees which he now holds, and there is no
good reason for dispensing with his services
in either capacity
In their address to the people the commit
tee who have put him forward as candidate
say he has already shown what he knows
about maintaining order in New York" This
Is q reference OF course. to the services OF his
regiment in putting down disorder
In itself and on the surface, the language
OF the committee may not be Objectionable.
Nevertheless, we do not like its tone. 1t is
too suggestive of disposition to have re-
course to the military power when the civil
authority, if properly invoked and efficiently
exercised would answer just as we'll 1t

BILT Money making is the object of this sort

been in the business that there is no longer
any money in it in New York. Nearly all the
men who have made high records were in this
match. and the arrangements were better than
they had ever been before: but the attrac-
tons were insufficient to induce people
to pay their money for the entertainment
that was offered. The scores Of the men who
were ON the track at the close of the

ished last evening would have been regarded
as wonderful three years ago. but there was
no improvement upon the records made in
