A Proiritiential Man
There is no aspiration so glorious as the do-

death, was greater than Napoleon at Auster
litz. And Thomas HollOway, w - hose, inesti
mable medicines are subduing disease of eve
ry type, in every part of the habitable globe, is
more worthy of respect and honor than any
warrior that ever drew the sword. When
Kossuth visited the United States ho was des
ignated the "providential man." Surely Pro-.
fes - sor Holloway, who. has come to our country
on a nobler errand, better deserves that title.
His establishment in New York has boon the
Tontat source offfe - dith to th - ousaildionwif - af- -

lished in_ every city and town of the Union; are
the PEOPLE'S DISPENSARIES. What is true of
the popularity of his medicines here, is true
throughout the world; for wherever civiliza
tion has penetrated, by land or sea, they - are
known and appreciated. From Greenland to
Terra del Fuego—from the Mississippi to the
Ganges—they are advertised in every printed
language, and resorted to by races of every
name and color, as the only reliable and prov
en remedies in all the phases of disease. The
leading medical periodicals of London and Ed

Suicide--An Unfortunate Family.
1 Last Saturday, Mr. Frederick Laucks, an
aged and respectable citizen of Windsor town
ship, in this county, put a period to his exist
ence by cutting his throat.
Mr. Laucks was a member of a family
which has been remarkably unfortunat for
that species of mania which ends in suicide.
N early half a century ago his father commit
ted suicide by poison. Since that time his
brother and that brother's son have hung
themselves ; and a few years' ago his own son
drowned himself. The Jacob -- Laucks who
• .t—Mr. Ifeury 1 - IF;cafritz., of this plac
few years ago, and is now in the State Luna
tic Asylum, was a nephew of the Mr. Laucks
whose mclancholly death we now record—the
son, grandson, brother, nephew, and cousin
of suicides. All these unfortunate men—
father, sons, and grandsons, were, we believe,
sober, honest, and indeStrious, and respected
