An aperient and stomachic preparation of
IRON purified of Oxygen and Carbon by com
bustion in Hydrogen . Sanctified by tho highest
Medical Authorities, both in Europe and the
United States, and prescribd in their practice.
The experience of thousands daily proves that
no preparation of Iron cn be compared with it.
Impurities of the blood, depression of vital eu
ergy, pale and otherwise sickly complexious in
dicate its necessity in almost every conceivable
case.
Innoxious in all malladies in which it has
been tried, it has proved al solutly curative in
each of the following complaints, viz:
In Dtljilihf, ferrous Affections, Emaciation,
Dyspepsia, Constipation, Diarrhoea, Dysentery,
Incipient Gunuwptiun, Sf-rrfulous Tuberculosis,
Salt RJieum, JIi.ineiuftruation, Whiles, Chlorosis,
Licer Cutitplaiitfs, Chronic Headaches, IUtetima-
tism, Intermittent Fccers, PiwjAcs ou the Face,
In cases of General Debility, whether the re
sult of acute disease, or of the continued dimi
nution of nervous and muscular cuery from
Chronic complaints one trial of this restorative
has proved successful to an extent which no
description nor written attestation would render
credible. Iuvalids so long bed-ridden as to have
become forgottou in their own neighboi hoods,
have suddenly re-appeared in the busy world as
- r . i r - , . ,
ii juss reiurneu irom a protracted travel m a
distant land. Some very signal instances of this
kind are attested of female Sufferers, emaciated
victims of apparent marasmus, sanguineous ex
haustion, critical changes, and that complication
of nervous and dyspeptic aversion to air and
exercise for which the physician has no name.
In Nervous Affections of all kinds, and for
reasons familiar to Medical men, the operation
of this preparation of Iron must necessarily be
salutary, for, unlike the old oxides, it is vigor
ously tonic, without being exciting and over
heating, and gently, regularly aperient, eveu in
the most obstinate cases of .costive nes .without
ever being a gastric purgative or inflicting a uis
agtecable sensation.
It is this latter property, among other which
makes it so remarkably effectual and permanent
a remedy for Piles, upon which it also appears
to exert a distinct and Fpecifis action, by dis
persing the local tendency which forms them.
In Dyspepsia innumerable as are its causes,
a single box of these Chalybeate Pills has often
sufficed for the most habitual cases, including
the attendant costiceness.
In unchecked Diarrhoea, even when advanced
to Dysentary, confirmed emaciating and appa
rently malignent, the effects have been equally
decisive and astonishing. -
In the local pains, loss of flesh and strength,
debiliatihg cough, and remittent hectic, which
generally indicates Incipient Consumption, this
remedy has allayed the alarm of friends and
physicians, in several very gratifyin; and in
teresting instances.
In Scrofulous Tuberculsis, this medicated iron
has had far more than tho good effect of the
most cautiously balanced preparations of idioue,
without any of their well known liabilities.
The attention of females cannot Ikj too confi
dently invited to this remedy and resloralice, in
the caces peculiarly affecting them.
In Rheumatism, both Chronic and inflamatory
in the latter, however, more decidedly it has
been invariably well reported, both as alleviating
pain and reducing the swellings and stifness of
the joints and muscles.
In Intermittent fevers it must necessarily be
a great remedy and energetic restorative, and it
progress in the new settlements of the West
wi l probably be one of high renown and use
ulness. No remedy has ever been discovered in the
whole his tory of medicine, which exerts such
prompt, happy and fully restorative effects.
Good appetitee, complete digestion, rapid ac
quisition of strength, with an unusual disposi
tion for active and cheerful exercise, immediatt
lyfollow its use.
Put up in neat flat mettal bxes containing
60 pills, price 50 cents per box; for sale by drug
gists and dealers. Will be sent free to any ad
dress on receipt of the price. All letter?, orders,
ect., should be addressed to

A STAGE RIVKJS ADVEXTUKKi
Fourteen years ago I drove stage from Dan
bury to Littleton, a distance of forty-two
miles, and as I had to wait for the arrival of
two other caches, I did not start till after
dinner; so I very often had a good distance
to drite after dark. It was in the dead of
wLci4and the season had been a tough one.
A great deal of snow had fallen, . and the
dn& we?e plenty and deep. The mail that
I carried was due to Littleton until one o'clock
in the morning; bu( that winter the postmas
ter was very often obliged to eit up a little
later than that for me.
One day in January when drovo up for
my mail at Daubury, the postmaster called
me into his ofSce.
"Pete," said he, with an important, se
rious look, "there's some pretty heavy money
packages in that bag," and he pointed to the
mail bag as he spoke. lie said the money
was from Boston to some land agents up near
the Canada line. Then he asked me if I'd
got any passengers who were going through
to Littleton. 1 told him I did not know, "but
suppose I havn't" says I.
Why." said he, the agent of the lower
route came in to-day, and he says that there
have been two suspicious characters on the
stage that came up last night, and he sus
pects that they have an eye on this mail, so
that it will staud you in hand to be a little
careful."
Lie said the agent had described one of
them as a short, thick set fellow, about forty
years of age with long ha;r, and a thick,
heavy clump beard under his chiu, but none
ou the side of his face. He didn't know
anything about the other. I told the old
fcliow 1 guessed there wasn't much danger.
'Oh no; not if you have got passengers for
the whole trip; but I only told you of this so
that you might look out for tho mail, and
look out for it when you stop to change hor
ses." I answered that I should do so and then
took the bag under my arm and left the office.
I stowed the bag away under the seat a little
more careful thau usual, placing it eo that I
could keep my feet against it, but beyond this
L did not feel any concern. It was half past
one when I started aud I had four passen
gers, two of whom rode only to my stoppiug
place. I reached Gowau's mills at dark,
wheu we stopped for supper, and where my
other two passengers concluded to stop for
tLe Light.
At about six o'clock in the evening I left
Gowau's mills alone, having two borse3 and
an open pung. I had seventeen miles to go
and a hard seventeen it wa3 to. The night
was quite clear, but the wiud was sharp and
cold, the loose suow flying in all directions,
while the drifts were ueep and closely packed.
It was slow tedious work, and my horses soon
became leg weary and restive. At the dis
tance of six miles I came to a little settle
ment called Hull's Corner, where I took fresh
horses. I had teen two hours going that
distance. Just as I was going to start a man
came up and asked me if I was going through
to Littleton. I told him I should go through
if the thing could possibly bo done. He
said he was very anxious to go, and as he
had no baggage I told him to jump on and
make himself as comfortable as possible. I
was gathering up the reins wheu the ostler
came out and asked me if I knew that one of
my hcrscs had cut himself badly. I jumped
out and went with him and found that one of
the animals had got a deep cork cut on the
off fore foot. I gave such directions as I
thought were necccssary, when the ostler re
marked that he thought I came alone. I told
him I did.
"Then where did you get that passenger?'
said he.
4 He just go in," I answered.
"Got in from where?"
"1 don't know."
"Well, now," said the ostler, "that's kind
of curious. There ain't no such man been
at the house, and I know there haint been
none at neighbor's
"Let's have a look at his face," said I.
"Do you go back with me; and as I ret
in
the puog, just hold your lantern so that the
lijht will shine in his face.
He did as I wished, and as I stepped into
the puDg, I got a fair view of such portions
of my passengers face as were not muffled
up. 1 saw a short thick frame, full, hard
features, and I could also see that there was
a heavy beard under the chin. I thought of
the man whom the Postmaster had described
to me; but I did not think seriously until i
had started. Perhaps I had gone half a mile
when I noticed that the mail bag was not in
its old place uuder my feet.
"Hallo:" says I, holding up my horses a
little, "where's my mail?"
My passenger sat on the seat behind me,
and as I spoke I turned towards him.
"Here is a bag of some kind, slipped back
under my feet," he said, giving it a kick as
though he had shoved it forward;
Just at that moment my horses lumbered
into a deep snow drift, and I was forced to
get out to tread down ahead of them and lead
them through it.
This took me all of fifteen minutes; wbon
I got on again, I pulled tho mail bag forward
and got my fuet upon it. As I was doing
this I saw the man take something from his
lap and put it iuto his breast pocket. At first
1 thought it was a small liquor flask, but upon
second thought I made up my mind that it
was a pistol. I caught the gleam of the bar
rel in the starlight, and wheu I had time to
reSect I knew 1 could not be mistaken.
About this time I began to think some
what seriouslj. Prom what I had heard and
seen, I soon mado up my mind that the in
dividual behind iu not only intended to rob
the mail, but he was prepared to rob me of
my life. If I resisted him he would shoot
me, and perhaps he meant to perform that
delectable operation at any rate. While I
was pondering the horses plunged into an
other deep drift, and I was forced again to
ei out and tread down the snow before them.
1 asked my passenger if wouldn't get out and
help me. but he said he didn't feel very well
and wouldn't try, so I worked alone, and was
all of a quarter of an hour getting my team
through the drifts. When I got iuta the
sleigh again I began to feel for the mail bag
with-my feet. I found it where I had left it
bat "whea I attempted to withdraw my foot,
I discovered that it had become eutangled in
soaiethiag I thought it the buffalo robe and
trid to kick it clear,, but the more I kicked
the more closely it was held. I reached down
my hand and after feeling a few moments
found t y L,V5"J in tit mail bag! I felt again
and found tny hand ia among the letters and
papers. I ran my fingers along the edge of
the opening, and became assured that the
stout leather had been cut with a knife.
Here was a discovery. I began to wish I
had taken a little more forethought before
leaving Danbury, but as I knew that making
such wishes was only a waste of time, I very
quickly gave it up and began to consider
what I had best do under existing circum
stances. I was not long making up my mind
upon a ew essential points. First the man
behind me was a villain, second he had cut
open the mail bag and robbed it of some val
uable matter. He must have known the
money letters by the size, and shape, third,
he meant to leave the pung on the first favor
able opportunity; and fourth, ho was prepared
to shoot me if I attempted to arrest or detain
him.
I resolved these things over in my miud,
and pretty soon I thought of a course to pur
sue. I knew if I could get my hands safely
upon the rascal, I must take him wholly un
awares, and this 1 could not do while he was
behind me, for his eye was upon me all the
time; so I mut resort to stragatem. Only
a little distance ahead was a house, where au
old farmer naoiad Lougee ii-.vd. and directly
before which a huge snow bank stretched
across the road, through which a track for
teams had to be cleared with shovels.
As we approach the cot. I saw a light in
the front room, as I felt confident I should,
for the old man generally sat up until the
stage went by. I drove ore, and when nearly
opposite the Uwelliug stood up as I had fre
quently done when approaching difUcult pla
ces. I saw the snow bank ahead and could
plainly distinguish the deep cut which had
been shoveled through it. I urged the hor
ses to a good speed, and when near the bank
forced them into it. One of tho runners
mounted the dge of the bank after them,
the other ran into the cut, thus throwiug the
sleigh over about as quick as if lightning had
struck it. 31 t passenger hadn't calculated
ou aay such movement was not prepared for
it, but I had calculated and was prepared.
He rolled out into the deep snow with a heavy
buffalo robe upon him, while I alighted ou
my feet directly on top of hiai. I punched
his head into the snow, and then sung out
for old Lougee. I did not have to call a sec
ond time, the farmer had come to the window
to see me pass, and as soon as he saw my
sleigh overturned he lighted his lantern and
hurried out.
"What's topay?"aiked the old man as he
came up.
"Lead the horses into the track and theu
come here," said I.
As I spoke I had partially loosened my
hold of the villain's throat, and he drew a
pistol from h unbosom. Hut I saw it ia good
season and jammed his head into the suow
again, and got the weapon from him. By
this time Lougee had led the horses back, and
I explained the matter to him in as few words
as possible. We hauled the rascal out into
the road, and upon examination we found
about twenty packages of letters which he
had stolen from the mail bag, and stowed
away in his pockets. '
He swore, and threatened, and begged and
prayed; but we paid no attention to his blar
ney. Lougee got same stout cord and when
we had securely bound the villian, tumbled
him into the pung. I asked the old uiau if
be would accompany me to Littleton, and he
said "of course." So he 'got his overcoat
and muffler, and wc soon started,
I reached the end of my route with the
mail bag safe, though not so snug as it might
have been. The mail robber was secure, and
within a week was identified by some officers
from Concord, as an old offender, and I'm
rather inclined to the opinion that he's in the
State's prison yet. At any rate he was there
when I last heard from him.
That's the only time that I ever had my
mail troubled, and I think that under all the
circumstances, I came out of it pretty well.
XST'Maater. how do you sell beef this

Fourteen cents, eh? Have you a heart?'

"Well, I just knowed you couldn't have a

I'm sorry you sold it, 'cause I'd like to have
some meat.'
A moment after tha boy was seen running
out of the market house, with a shmbone af

An Amu&In? Offer r Marriage J Tlic Atmosphere.
The Paris correspondent of the New York j The atnior here rises above us. with its ca
Exnress Las the following ! thdnl dome arching towards the heavens, of
Perhaps some of your readers who visited ! which it is the most familiar synonym and
Paris two or three years ago, and who had aa ; symbol. It Moat arouud u lie the grand
occasion to be fleeced in boulevard shops, may 1 object which the - postla John saw in his
remember a boisiery establishment on the cor- ! vision, "a sea of glas like unto crystaL
neroftherue Drouot and the Boulevard. j So massive is it. that whnn it begins to stir.
This shop was closed some time rgo. and the j " tses about great sLips like playthings.
"stana is at present occupied by a dealer in
Vichy water. Now, Low came the Loiser to
shut up Lis shop? You shall hear. One day
a gentleman between thirty aud forty years
of age, (which, in France, is considered the
marriageable age) tall and, haodsotne, well
dressed, r fined in appearance, but bearing a
provincial look, entered the hosier's boutique,
to make a small purchase. While waiting to
be served, ho .noticed at the further end t.f
the shop, a rosy cheeked and graceful young
girl, partially couccaled from view by a high
desk. Upon interrogating the clerk, he was
informed that the young girl in question was
the shopkeeper's daughter, who has just re
turned from one of the best seminaries in
France, where she had received an excellent
education. The clerk whose loquacity is un
bounded, added that Mademoiselle Juliette
m m m
was just turnea oi eigutcen, ana teat uer
amiability, modesty and good seusc rendered
her the idol of all who knew her. The stran
ger asked to speak with the hoisicr and Lis
wife, ou an sflair foreign to ordinary Luiuess.
He was forthwith introduced into the back
shop.
"Sir and Ma lam." said he, after takiog'a
seat, "I am the Count de F. I reside, hab
itually, at Bordeaux. I have a fortuue of
eighty thousand francs a year, in landed es
tates. I wish to marry and do not care a
farthing whether my wifij be rich or poor.
She will lead me au agrcerble existence, will
possess a mansion in the capital, a chateau in
the country, horses and carriages; will pass
six months in the year ou my estate. ture
months in Paris, and three months at the wa
tering places. I have the honor to ask the
hand of your daughter."
This extraordinary speech threw the hosier
and Lis wife into a state of stupefaction im
possible to describe. - Without at all notic
ing the effect he had produce!, the Etranger
coolly replied:
As regards this offer, I have only one
condition to impose. You will give up trade
Sell your establishment and leave the rest to
me."
The Count's proposal was accepted; and the
hosier's daughter became a countess. The
shop was sold and at this moment, the show
window formerly filled with piles of shirts and
stockings, and striped cravats, is occupied by
long rows of bottles, whose contents may be
healthful to the stomach, but are far from
agreeable to the nostrils.
A Calilornlu Trial.
A fellow named Denks. was lately tried at
Yuba city, for entering a miner's tent and
seizing a bag of gold dast valued at eighty
four dollars. The testimony showed that he
had once been employed there, and knew ex
actly where tho owner kept his du.t; that on
the night of October lSth. he cut a slit in the
tent, reaching in, took the bag aad thea ran
cff.
Jim Buller, the principal witness, testified
that he saw the maa reach in, aud heard Lim
run away. '
"I put for Lim at once," continued the wit
ness, "but when I cotched Lim, I didn't find
Bill's bag; but it was found afterwards, where
he had throwed it."
Counsel for the Prisoner. How far did he
git ia when he took the dust?
Buller. Well, he was stoopia' over about
half ia, I should say.
Counsel. May it please your honor, the
indictment isu't sustained, and I shall demand
an acquittal on the direction of the court.
The prisoner is on trial for entering a dwel
ling in the night time with intent to steal.
The testimony is clear that he made aa open
ing through which he protruded himself about
half way, and stretching out his arms, com
mitted the theft. But the indictment char
ges that he actually entered the tent or dwel
ling. Now, your houor, can a man enter the
house, when only one-half of his body is ia,
and the ether half out?
Judge. I shall leave the whole matter to
the jury. They must judge of the law and

XiglU Air. Many people are afraid of

Tahinj the Ct nsns "Billy Bowlegs" is
