BLOODY RUN, Jan. 17, 1860. Ma. EDITOR : —On looking over the Inquirer we frequently see articles written in different parts of the County but it is seldom we sue one from old West Providence. We know not the cause unless the people do not wish others to know that things are prospering here. The common schools of this Township are on the advance as well as those around us. The teachers have met and organized a township institute for their improvement. The institute will meet semi-monthly in the different school houses in the township to discuss the vari ous topics pertaining to the important work of teaching. We labor under quite a disadvantage in somo parts of the township, on account of school hoases that are tit, not Iteiug rightly furnished to suit all sized scholars. And until this is remedied it is almost useless to talk of physical education in our schools. We hope this matter will lie removed by another winter. There is considerable anxiety felt here concerning the present trouble overhinging the country, but it is hoped that this may soon he re moved an i peace and harmony again prevail. Yours Ac. J. J. B.

Jan. 18,1861. 1 ScroMa, or King's Evil, i' at" t*iif'.rtlon*l disease, a corruption of the I' r. j, in whicl* this Jiuid becomes vitiated, v.-' ,i', and j>K>r. Being in the circulation, it j>. ; v-jd -s tiif whole body, and may burst out m dt-cj,c n any part of it. No organ is free IV u it- attacks, uor is there one which it may not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously caused by mercufial disease, low living, dis ordercd or unhealthy food, impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by the venereal infection. What cver i)c its origin, it is hereditary in the con r titration, descending " from parents to children unto tlie third and fourth generation indeed, it seems to be the rod of Ilim who says, " I will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon their chddren." -Its effects commence by deposition from the blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu tions not only suffer from scrofulous com plrouts, but they have far less power to with- J stand the attacks of other diseases; conse quently, vast numbers perish by disorders which, although net scrofulous in their nature, arc sail rem bred fatal by this taint in the system. Most of the consumption which de cimates the human family has its origin directly j in this scrofulous contamination ; and many j destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain, | and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or are aggravated by the same cause. One quarter of all our people are scrofulous; their persons are iuvaded by this lurking in fect! m, and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse it from the system we must renovate the : lood by an alterative medicine, and in v ; .ate it by healthy food and exercise, a mtdicine we supply in AYEIi'S Compound Extraet of Sarsaparilla, the most effectual remedy which the medical skill of our times can devise for this every where prevailing and fatal malady. It is com bined from the most active remedials that have been db covered for the expurgation of this foul disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the t ystciu from its destructive consequences. Hence it should be employed for the cure of rot only scrofula, but also those other affec tions which arise from it, such as EutTrrvß and SKIS DISEASES, ST. ANTHONY'S FIRE, HOSE, or ERYSIPELAS, FIMPLES, PUSTULES, BLOTCHES, BLAINS and BOIES, TUMORS, TETTER and SALT HHLUM, SCALD HEAD, RINGWORM, RHEUMATISM, SYPHILITIC and MERCURIAL DIS EASES, DROPSY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and, indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITIA TED OK IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief in " impurity of the blood" is founded in truth, for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The particular purpese and virtue of this Sarsapa rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid, without which sound health is impossible in contaminated constitutions. Ayer's Cathartic Pills, FCR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A FAMILY PHYSIC, are so composed that disease within the range of their action can rarely withstand or evade mem JTheir penetrating properties search, and cleanse, and invigorate every portion of the human organ ism, correcting its diseased action, and restoring its healthy vitalities. As a consequence of these properties, the invalid who is bowed down with pain or physical debility is astonished to find his health or energy restored by a remedy at once so simple and inviting. Not on!y do they cure the every-day complaints of every body, but also many formidable and dangerous diseases. The agent below named is pleased to furnish gratis my American Almanac, containing certificates of their cures and directions for their use in the following complaints: Costive tiess, Heartburn, Headache arising from disordered Stomach, Nausea, Indigestion, Pain in and Morbid Inaction of the Bbice/s, Flatulency, Loss of Appe tite, Jaundice, and other kindred complaints, arising from a low state of the body or obstruction of its functions. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, FOR THE RAPID CURE OP Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness, Croup, Bronchitis, Incipient Consump. tlon, and for the relief of Consumptive Patients in advanced stages of the disease, 80 wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu merous are the cases of its cures, that almost every section of country abounds in persons pub licly known, who have been restored from alarming and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its use. When once tried, its superiority over every other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape observation, and where its virtues arc kne n, the public 110 longer hesitate what antidote to employ for the distressing and dangerous affections of the pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate. While many inferior remedies thrust upon the community have failed and been discarded, this has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to be forgotten.
