Blanche Curtisse, the "Vassar Beautyin "Only a Farmer's Daughter." One thousand dollars was the sum actually paid by a well-to-do gentleman in Montreal, Canada, for a reproduction at that place of : the play, "Only a Farmer's Daughter." For that night he extended invitations to his friends in general. This great American ?rama, with the origi? nal New York Cast, will be produced at the Music Hall Wednesday March 31. Dr. Millard's Lectures. The lectures delivered last week by Rev. ; Arthur Millard were very interesting. The audience was fairly good each night, and, ex? cepting some of the little folks who were not well read up in history and biography, were highly entertained. Dr. Millard is no orator. He is too abrupt in his gestures and restless in bis movements for that, but he shows such complete mastery of all the details of his sub? ject and is so interested himself that his audi? ence are completely carried away with his rapid flow of terse and vigorous English. We suppose that in his lectures on Sir Walter Scott and Mary Stuart he told nothing bot what every intelligent person in the audience already knew, but be presented all these facts in such a way that they stood out clear and distinct before the bearer like a well arranged and clearly defined picture ; the only criticism being the habit on the part of the lecturer of straying off from his subject too far and remaining away too long. His lecture on Sir Thomas More's Utopia was thought by many to have been the best of the three, but it also was marred by the same fault. His peroration ID that lecture was sublime, sud Sumter is v. iser and better for the visit of the large-hearted, talented and genial Englishman to our town. The Weather, 6 A.M. 12 H. 6 P IT.

Edward Shepherd, of Harrisburg, 111., says: "Having receired so much benefit from Elec? tric Bitters, I feel it my duty to let suffering humanity know it. Have had a running sore on my leg for eight years ; my doctors told me I wonld have to have the bone scraped or the leg amputated. I used, instead, three bottles of Electric Bitters and seven boxes Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and my leg is now sound and well." Electric Eitters are sold at fifty cents a bottle, and Bucklen's Arnica Salve at 25c. per box, by Dr. DeLorme. 5 I had to comb back the hair from my fore? head and omit the parting to conceal my baldness. Since then Parker's Hair Balsam has made my hair as thick and glossy as ever. Ladies whose bair is getting thin will find the Balsam jost splendid. Mary Swanson, Chicago._ _ m Core for files. Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of weight in the back, loins and lower part of the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose he bas some affection of the kidneys or neigh? boring organs.

There is perhaps no disease so prevalent as dyspepsia or indigestion, and one too, that* up to the present time, bas baffled tbeskill of the most eminent Physicians.

The syniptons are loss of appetite, loss of flesh, a feeling of fullness or weight in the stomach, occasional^ nausea and vomit? ing, acidity, flatulence, dull pain in the head, with a sensation of heaviness or giddiness, irregularity of bowels, low spirits, sleepless? ness, sallow skin, derangement of kidneys, and not unfrequently palpitation of the heart.
