Ayer's pills are manufactured under an enormous pressure, in cylinders, liko can? non, which sometimes provo too weak for the compressed forces, and burst with ter? rific violence. Fortunately, tho pieces do not fly far, BO that no ouo has ever been hurt by them. Tho action is moro like ice than powder; but it makes pills which all the world acknowledge aro pills. [Daili/ Journal, Lowell. It is asserted that a chap named Poston, a brother of the delegate from Arizona Ter? ritory, holds a contract at $90,000 per an? num for carrying the mail over a route in that Territory that does not exist. Laura Reno, who swore vengeance ou the murderers of her brothers, one of tho Tvic tims of the Indiana vigilauce committee, met a man at her brothers' funeral whom she ordered away, telling him that she knew him to be one of the murderers. He slunk away without a word of denial. A young lady of Indianapolis recently used corrosive sublimate to remove a light moustache on hor upper lip. The applica? tion proved unexpectedly successful, for it removed tho moustache and a portion of the upper lip besides. Tho tunnel under the Chicago River, known as the Washington Street Tunnel, connectiug tho South and Yv*Ot.t divisions of tho city by a solid and permanent roadway, has just been completed.

PROBABLY never before in the whole history of medicine, has anything won BO widely and BO deeply upon tho confidence of mankind, as this excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through a long scries of years, and among most of tho races of mon, it has risen higher and higher in their estimation, as it has become better known. Its uniform character and power to enro tho vari? ons affections of tho lungs and throat, have made it known as a reliable protector against them. While adapted to milder forms of disease and to yonng children, it is at tho same time tho most effectual remedy that can bo given for incipient consumption, and the dangerous affections of tho throat and lungB. As a provision against sudden attacks of CROUP, it should be kept on hand in every family; and, indeed, as all aro sometimes subject to colds and cougbB, all should boprovidod with this antidoto (or them. Although settled CONSUMPTION is thought incurable, still great numbers of cases where tho disease Bcemeu settled have been completely cured, and tho pationt restored to sonnd health by tho CHERRY PECTORAL. Bo completo ia its mastery over tho disorders of tho lungs and throat, that tho most obstinate of them yield to it. When nothing olso could reach them, under tho CHERRY PECTORAL they eubeide and disap? pear. SINGERS and PUBLIC SPEAKERS find great protection from it. ASTHMA is always relieved and often wholly cured by it. BRONCHITIS is generally cured by taking tho CHERRY PECTORAL in small andfreauent donna. So generally aro its virtues known that, we need not publish tho certificates of them hero, or do moro than assure the public that its qualities aro fully maintained. AYER S AGUE CURE, For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever, Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Feriodieal or Bilious Fever, ?tc., and indeed all the affections which arise, from malarious, marsh, or miasma? tic poisons. As its name implies, it does Care, and doe? not fail. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinine, Bis? muth. Zinc, nor any other mineral or poisonous substanco whatever, it in nowise injures any pa? tient. Tho number and importance of its eurea in the ague distriota, are literally beyond account, and we believe without a parallel in the history of Aguo medicine. Our pndo is gratified by thc acknowledgments we rcceivo of tho radical enres effected in obstinate caaes, and where other reme? dies had wholly failed. Uuacclimated persons, either resident in, or traveling through miasmatic localities, will be protected bv taking the AGUE CURE daily. For LIVER COMPLAINTS, nrising from tor? pidity of tho Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimulating the Liver into healthy activity. For Bilious DisorderB and Liver Complaints, it ia an excellent rcmeky, producing many truly re? markable cures whore other medicines had failed. Prepared by Du. J. C.
