WITH the new year, Ayers American
Almanac makes its customary appearance.
1t is welcome visitor in every family. Its
pages are replete with crisp medical adj
vice, refreshing humor, and much intorma-
ton not usually fonnd in such work. Its
astronomical calculations have high rep
utation for accuracy, and they are adapted,
in the various editions of the Almanac, to
all parts of the globe. While large por-
ton of its pages are devoted to an elabor-
ate advertisement of the medicinal prepa-
rations of this house, it is a noticeable fea-
ture that many prescriptions are freely
given for the benefit of the sick, irrespec-
tive of Ayers medicines, These prepare
tions are universally used and appreciated
for their valuable and reliable qualities
The almanac describes the application O.
these medicines to the diseases they arr
intended to cure. 1t can be obtained FIRE,

icine.

Armed to the Teeth

1t is very common expression, but we
think that armed to embellish and preserve
them to aripe old age is decidedly more
appropriate. This can be done by keeping
yourself supplied with bottle OF that
splendid dentifrice, Fragrant SozoDoxT,
which will beautify the teeth and preserve
them from the ravages of decay. Sozo-
DON'T contains no acids or gritty substances
which injure the enamel, but is composed
OF rage and autiseptic herbs, which have
a beneficial effect on the whole economy d

STILL ANOTHER,
A Man Attempts u Shoot Matthew
Mack lem.

Last Saturday evening about the
time the shooting took place on Orange
street, an attempt was made to take the
life OF Matthew Macklem, the we'll
known butcher, by Roderick Gillian he
keeper of railroad laborers' boarding
house in Brandywine Hundred, the
facts Of which, an told by tbewitnesses,
are as follows.
Between and o'clock In the even
lug, Gillian, who was under the influence
of liquor, came to Mr.. Mack lem + place
of business on King street above Third,
and acted in disorderly manner. Mr..
Macklem requested him 10 desist, and
upon his still continuing pushed him
out into King street, and was about to
return to his business when Gillian said
"I'll show You something" and suit
ing the action to the word drew a re-
volver from his hip pocket, and took
deliberate aim at him.
Mr.. Mac&!un had no chance for
escape, and had it not been for young
man in his employ named William
Bois, who seiz,d Glllan's arm just an
he WAS about 10 tire, would have un-
doubtedly been shot.
Just at this time ex-police officer
| Harry Sparks, who was on the opposite
side Of King street, hurried across, and
also took hold Of him, when the pistol
was discharged and the bullet inflicted
| "A slight flesh wound in Mr.. Sparks left
hand. Gillian was then disarmed and
taken TO the hall and yesterday had a
hearing before Judge Cummins.
He was FIRST adjudged guilty of being
drunk and fined 81 and costs, and then
after having evidence in regard to his
having pistol in his pocket, the Judge
ordered him to furnish 500 for his ap.
pearanco at Court, to answer a charge
Of carry ing concealed deadl y weapon
He was next tried on the charge OF
assault with intent to commit murder
and the Judge after hearing the testi
mony of the witnesses, ordered him t.
furnish bail for Court in the sum of 81
900.
In answer to a question by the Judge
IGllian said he had a class Of men Il
IDEAL with that compelled him to carry ;
lrnvolver to protect himself. He ha'
been drinking for the past week, and 1
, few days since was robbed of his watch
Early on Saturday evening he wa. in &
!store on King street where there wa
no one but il lady in attendance, ant
she was Obliged To request young maj
who happened to come in, to eject him
which was promptly done.

Boy," who with her mother has been
reduced to poverty by the rascality OF
her uncle. Through her bravery and
shrewdness, Cad circumvents the
machinations of the villain, and secures
the fortune which he had appropriated
