We do not as a rule allow ourselves
to use our editorial columns to speak of
any remedy we advertise, but we feel
warranted in saying word for Hoods
Sarsaparilla. Sarsaparilla has been
known as remedial agent for centuries,
and is recognized by all schools of prac-
tice as valuable blood purifier. 1t is
put up in forms of almost infinite va
riety, but Messrs. Hood & Co. Lowell,
Mass.), who are thoroughly reliable
pharmacists, have hit upon a remedy
of unusual value. Certainly they have
vouchers of cures which we know to be
most extraordinary. limo

Humor in the Stomach.

Much of the distress and sickness at
tributed to dyspepsia, chronic diarrhea
and other causes is Occasioned by humor
in the stomach. Several cases, with all
the characteristics of these complaints,
have been cured by Hoods Sarsapa-
rllla. Other cures effected by this med
icine are so wonderful that the simplest
statement of them affords the best proof
that it combines rare curative agents
and when once nsed secures the conf
dence of the people.

Circuit Court Proceedings.

Our report of last week concluded on
Friday, AS the case of Rufus Oldham VS..
the 2. w. Il B. railroad company was
beginning. This was a suit for damages
for being refused passage through the
gate of the railroad company at the Broad
street station, Philadelphia, to a train
for which plaintiff had ticket. Mr..
Oldham, the plaintiff, stated that he held
the return coupon of an excursion ticket,
but when he got to the gate in the STA
ton he could not find it, and the gate
keeper of course would not admit him;
that, after searching his pockets for a
while, he found his ticket and when he
applied for admission the second time
the gate keeper said he should not go
through at all, and he had to wait for the
late night train, two hours later, or about
II 80 o'clock. He asked for punitive
damages, by way of punishment to the
company for the wrongful act of it's agent,
and placed them at 81 200. The defence
was mainly to the effect that the plaintiff
was not in fit condition to be admitted
to the train, because he was under the
influence of liquor. This was testified
to by several witnesses, and the contrary
was also sworn to by several persons who
accompanied Mr.. Oldham. On Monday
afternoon the jury rendered verdict for
plaintiff giving him $25 damages. Con,
stable and Writ for plaintiff; Jones and
Alex. Evans for defendant.
| On Monday afternoon the case of John
b. Meyers VS.. p. w. Il B. r. II. Co. wai
taken up. This was "a claim for damages
for being put off of train on the suburbs
of Baltimore. This plaintiff also had al
excursion ticket but got upon the wrong
train, the Port Deposit accommodation
He made oath that he was put off. Wit
nesses on the other side swore he got of
willingly after he had been told that il
would cost more to go to the river ant
take the next train. This case occupied
the court until Wednesday morning wher
the jury returned verdict for plaintiff
| giving him - damages.
! On Wednesday the case of the i. d q
