ME-. MURPnY's RRSiARKs.

Mr.. Murphy's remarks were not long
but they were received with q much mort
hearty interest than those OF the previous
night. The enthusiasm had perceptibly
Increased, and more appreciative or re
sponsive audience could not be desired. 4
In the course OF his remarks Mr.. Muir
ply took occasion to express his appreci
alton OF the kind treatment he had re
ceiyed at the hands Of the ministers o.
the city, and OF the assistance lent him in
his work by the daily press Of the city.
Mr.. Murphy said he was not a lecturer
he knew nothing OF that business. lie
only desired to save fallen men, and his
business was to use his effortsin that work.
He cautioned the audience against severity
in dealing with liquor dealers. The traffic
Is the evil, and the best way TO combat il
Is to win those engaged in 1t from 1t by
kindness. He told the story Of his own
experience of intemperance in q most
affecting manner, and described his de-
scent into the depths OF degradation step
by step, with such feeling that many in
the audience were affected TO tears.
II speaking of bravery the orator illus
trated his idea by o reference to Phil.
Sheridan's famous ride. The mention oil
Little Phil's" name evoked enthusiasm
unequaled at any other time in the meet
ing.
SIGNING TIE PLEDGE.
After the remarks Of Mr.. Murphy he
left the platform and pushed his way
through the crowded a!sles, going into
every corner Of the church and shaking
hands with all whom he could reach, and
urging them to come forward and sign the
pledge. Many accepted the invitation,
and over $50 signatures were obtained.
On the platform most Of the prominent
pastors OF the city were seated, and
they helped on the good work. Two
tables were placed near the altar. one on
each side OF the pulpit. Here Rev. E. j.
Hart, G. W. Atkinson, Capt. John Carlin,
Noah Beck aud John Cowl received the
signers, furnishing The murphy cards.
and with the assistance Of several ladies
decorating those who had signed the
pledge with the famous Murphy badge
the blue ribbon. Pledges were also passed
through the crowd down stairs and up. A
few OF the signers were drinking men.
This afternoon at 8 o'clock a gospel tenn
perance prayermeeting will be held in the
same church. Mr.. Murphy will be pres
ent and there will be music as at the
evening meetings. This evening another
meeting will be held at the same place.
Mr.. Murphy Is particularly DESTROYS Of
securing Tor auditors drinking men. He
says he cannot do tetotalers any good. He
wants to reach them who are in need Of
salvation from the curse Of rum.

The moment there is danger Of impair
ment Of the mind from excessive nervous
exhaustion, or where there exists foreboS-
ings Of evil, desire for solitude, stunning
and avoiding company, vertigo and nervous
debility, or when insanity has already taken
place, PERUSA and MASALIN should be i'm
plicitly relied on. But it is never well TO-
wait so long before treatment is commenced.
The early symptoms are, loss OF strength,
softness of the muscles, dim or weak sight,
peculiar expression Of the face and eyes,
coated tongue, with impaired digestion; or
in others, certain powers only are lost while
they are otherwise enjoying comparatively
good health. In all these PERUNA and MAN
AI.IS should at once be taken.
MRS. s. SMITH, Hillsyille, Lawrence
county, Pa, writes: "Dr. s. B. Hartman

prove, the soreness AMI pain disappeared

as well as ever in my life, and | owe it all
to your PERUxA and MANALIN. recon-
mended it to my friends and it gives better
satisfaction than any other medicine ever

Miss Maria Roderick, Warren, Ohio,
weites: at is with pleasure and many
thanks that ] write to you to tell you of the
great benefit have derived from the use OF
the PERUNA. l have used several bottles OF
your PERUSA, and can safely say it has
done me great deal of good, have i'm
proved ever since l commenced its use.
Mr.. 7. j. Webber, Plymouth, o., writes:
Il am selling your PERUSA, and have a
good trade on it. 1t gives general satistac'
tion."
Mr.. Thomas Acton, BROOKLYN Village,
Cleveland, Ohio, says: "Ireceived severe
wound in my foot by tramping on spike
1t inhamed and was painful and swollen. l
had every reason to fear lockjaw. Your
simple suggestion as to local applications
and the taking of your PERUNA and MAN
ALIN were followed to the letter, and, thanks
to you, my foot is entirely well, and am

Burned to Death.

On Tuesday, January 10th, 1855, on Ten
Mile, Cologne district, Mason county, dis.
tressing accident happened, which resulted
in the burning to death of Mrs, William Nc
Coy. She was about to be confined and
her husband had gone out after nurse.
In his absence, while she was standing in
front of the fireplace, she was seized, as
supposed, with fit and fell into the FIRE,
and there being no one in the house except
Two. little children, she laid with her head in
