our medicine was good. Such an offer,
on the wrong kind OF medicine, would
put a merchant prince in the poor house.

Of experience have proved, Is a medi-
cine that cures the sick.
Those whom 1t cannot beneht-less

Restorative Nervine for your complaint.

memory. weak stomach, poor blood,

OUT OF ORDINARY.
Shells Exploding Along Potomac.
From the Hagerstown Mail.

from the HagerstOWn MILL
Some days ago the woods in the
mountains known as Loudon Heights,
opposite Harper's Ferry, took fire and
b1rned with great intensity. After
burning for some time series of ex-
plosions were heard which startled the
Inhabitants and the concussion was so
great that it broke windows in some
houses in Harpers Ferry, across the
Shenandoah.
The explosions were caused by the
bursting of shells, which were thrown
on the heights at the tine when Gen.
Mills surrendered to ,Stonewall Jack
son, in 1862. These had tailed to ex-
plode when they were fred, ana had
lain here for over forty years.
