A family limned to Death.
One of the most appalling calamities that
ever occurred in Kent county transpired
on Tuesday night. A dwelling house and
its contents, including a man, his wife and
children, were totally destroyed by fire,
without any living person knowing any
thing of the matter until the next morning,
when the house had disappeared. The
facts of the case are as follows:
Hiram Robinson recently exchanged a
fann in Georgetown, Ottawa county, for a
farm in Gaines, eight miles from this city,
on the Kalamazoo plauk-road. Monday
and Tuesday Robinson was engaged in re
moving his family and goods. The neigh
bors saw nothing of him at nightfall.
It is supposed that he and his wife re
tired early on account of the very fatiguing
labors of the day. From the evening of
Tuesday to the morning of Wednesday, ev
erything remains an impenetrable mystery.
Probably the building caught on fire from
the stove-pipe, and as the tenement was of
boards was soon in a blaze.
Owing to fatigue, Mr. Robinson and bis
family were probably not awakened until
too late to escape. That they attempted to
escape, is shown from the fact that the
bodies of both man and wife were found
lying partially beyond the door-sill of the
house, and the youngest child, an infant,
outside the location of the house.
It is believed that when they ascertain
ed their danger they rushed to the door
and forced it open, but in so doing, some
of the upper heavy timbers fell upon and
cast the pair to the ground, covering the
entire family with a horrible, inextricable
bath of lire, and soon destroying life. —

ATT KM PTED ROB BE RY.
A German laborer in the employ of Mr.
Frankland, Rector of Emmanuel Church,
New Castle, Del., the other day walked in
to Mr. F.'s room, and presenting a pistol,
demanded StiOO. The Rector told him he
had not such a sum, but proposed to the
robber to go with him to the village, and
ascertain what could be done towards get
ting the money. To this proposal, made
to gain time, and perhaps relief, the simple
fellow assented. They therefore started
together, wending their way professedly to
wards the bank alter the money. In their
progress a friend of the Rector was seen
approaching, to whom he contrived to
make known his danger, or at least by
help of signs, and an occasional word, such
| as the significant one of rherijf succeeded
iu putting him on the track for an officer.
One or two other friends arriving about the
same time, with the officer, the German
footpad began to suspect he was betrayed,
or that all was not working well for him,
and determined to carry his threat into ex
i ecution, attemping to lire his pistol. At
j this moment one of the gentlemen oppor
tunely stepped f>rward and prevented the
explosion of the cap, thus saving the life
!of a fellow being. The robber was then ta
i ken into custody and safely lodged iu
| jail not far from the scene of this strange
i transaction. He will, of course, be tried
] for intentional murder, and, ol course, too,
\ the plea of insanity will be set up by inge
j nious and unscrupulous counsel. Rut bc
j ing friendless, he will be more likely to
j be convicted and punished.

OXFORD, Xew Haven Co., Conn., .fan. 4.
Dear Sir—Having witnessed the effects of
Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, in the case
of one of my neighbors, who has been for
several years seriously afflicted with the
Phthisic, general pulmonary weakness, bleed
ing of the lungs, etc., 1 have been induced to
ask you to send me some of the medicine.
My neighbor, referred to above, lately had a
violent attack of bleeding at the luDgs, and
distress in breathing. He tried a bottle of
the Wild Cherry, which has produced a most
salutary and favorable effect. At his instance,
and several others laboring under like coin
plaints, I have been induced to make this re
quest. By attending to the above immediate
ly, you will oblige the afflicted, and
Yours, HENRY DCNIIAM.

THE LIVER
IHVIGORATOR
PREPARED BY DR. SAN FORI),
Compounded eutirelj from Gi'fflS,
IS one of lite best Purgative and Liver Medicines now
before the public, that acts as a Cathartic,easier, mild
er, and more effectual than any other medicine known. It
is not only a Cathartic, but a Liver remedy, acting first
on the Liver to eject i:s morbid matter, then on the stom
ach and bowels to carry off that matter, thus accomplish
ing two purposes effectually, without any of the painful
feelings ex,>erienc d tn the operations of most Cathartics.
It strengthens the systeni at the same time that it purges
it, and when taken daily in moderate doses will strength-'
en and build it up with unusual rapidity
The Liver is one of lltej principal regulators of the
human body; and when; it performs its functions
wcli the powersofthesys-j . tetn are fully developed
The stomach is almost en- : tirely dependent oft thh
healthy at? mnoflhe Liver : for the proper perform
ance of its functions ;J| when the stomach is at
fault the bowels are at | fault, and the whole sys
tem suffers in conse-, [qtience of one organ—the
Llvkr— having ceased to PC do its duty. For tlie diS
ea-es of that organ, one I r 1 of the proprietors has
made it his study, in a practice of more than '.ft
years, to find some reine- i—. dy wherewith to i bunler
act the many intents to which it is liable;
To prove that this rem j jedy is at last found, any
person troubled with I tv- J ' EB COJ PLAINT in any of
its forms, has but to try a j bottle and conviction is
certain. These Gums re-1 _ {move all morbid or had
matter Trotn the system, pC ;supplying in theif plate a
healthy flow of bile, vigoraiing the stomach,
causing food to digest - well, purifying the blned,
giving toltc ai d health to __ the whole tnachinefy, re
moving the cause of dis 'ease—effecting a radical
cure BliJovs ATTACKS jare cured, and what is
better, prevented, by the occasional use of the Liv
er luvigorator. One dose | after eating is sufficient to
relieve the stomach aud prevent the food from ri
sing and souring. Only r^r , jone dose taken before re
tiring prevents NIGHT- yT" |MARK. Only one dose ta
ken at night loosens the p-"'j bowels gently, and cures
CosUVKNESs. One dosejH™". taken aflereach meal will
cure DYSPEPSIA. KJ-Oneldose of two teaspooul'uls
wilt always relieve sick i HEADACHE.
One bottle taken fcrfe-j QQ male obstruction removes
the cause of the disease! 'and makes a perfect cure.
Only one dose Immediate- ly relieves C'HOLIC, while
one dose often repeated is ' a sure cure for CHOLERA
Mount s, and a preventive of CHOLERA K-Only one
bottle is needed to throw out of the system the effects of
medicine after n long sickness. One bottle taken for
J ACNDICE removes all sallotvncsa or unnatural color from
the skin. One dose taken a short time before eating gives
vigor to the appetite an.! makes food digest well One
dose often repealed cures CHRONIC DIARRHEA in its worm
forms, and Summer and Bowel Complaints yield almost
to the first dose. One or two doses cures attacks caused
by Worms in Children ; there is no surer, safer or speed
ier remedy in the world, as it NEVER fails. A lew botllcp
cures DROPSY, by exciting the absorbents. Y.'e take
pleasure in recommending this luediiiut as a preventive
fur FEVER AND AQLK, CHILL FEVER, and all Fevers of a
Bilious Type. It operates with certainly, and thousands
are willing to testify to its wonderful virtues.
All w ho use it aie giving their unanimous testimony ii>
its favor.

THE LIVER IN VIGOR ATOR is a scientific Medical
Discovery, and is daily working rures almost too great to
believe. It cures as if by magic, even the first dose giv
ing benefit, and seldom more than one bottle is required
to cute any kind of l.tver Complaint, from the worst
Jaundice to a common Headache, all of which are the
result of a Diseased Liver.
