their extensive use, by physicians In

use, and being sugar-coated, they are
pleasant TO take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, will
employ them, when needed. They

maintain in healthy action the whole

the walls of the prison buildings? If so,
then let the necessary appropriation be
made, which, for the next two years, can
not fall short of 100000.
Second.--If the convicts are not to be

Third.-It the penitentiaries are not to be |
leased, in what manner shall the board |
conduct them
Fourth.-If none of these plans are to be |

will be sharp contest over the mayoralty
election on Tuesday next. The candidates
are Pickens. present mayor; Lacey, former
mayor: Major Farrar, ]. X. Lyon. One
good result Of this contest Is that experts
have been employed, and the financial con-

The results brought about are very satisfac-
tory, showing the city debt TO be only
about 5000 and over $4,000 in the treas

after spending over 5000 last year on per

this a very satisfactory showing FOR our

A Perfect Remedy in 20 Diseases.

ASIIFIELD; Mass:
am verging on eighty years, and deem it my
duty to suffering humanity to say that my long
life is due to BRANDRETHs Pills which have
been my sole medicine for half century. l
know the last forty three years Of my life is ow-
ing solely to their use. Your Pills saved me
many times after the best medical skill in sew
'eral States had given me up as hopeless. Ihavc
had many converts to purgation with BRAND
;RETH's Pulls, and have secn them perform
almost miracles of cure. For children. a few
doses have cured measles, scarlet fever. and
whooping cough. In all female troubles and
weakness have never known them to fail. In
adult males l have known them to cure the
worst cases of dyspepsia, rheumatism kidney
diseases, dyscntcry and diarrhpa even dropsy.
paralysis and apoplexy have yielded to n per-
aistent course of BHANDRETn Pulls. In fact.
/ hive found them the true Life Elixir. They
act as continual rreventivcs against the effects
of time, disease, and labor.
