As he entered the office he put his hand in his pocket and took some thing therefrom—supposed to be a roll of bills— which he quickly thrust through the ticket window to a person on the outside—probably a confederate. That person fled, and although the officers pursued him, they were unable to capture him. About this time, the fellow observed the bill that he had passed upon Mr. Flint lying °n the counter, and with a ra pidity and ease that astonished all who saw him, seized and swallowed it. He was then searched, but no counterfeit money wqg found him. A handsome sum pf gooff money and a valuable gold watch were found and retained by the officers. He was locked up for the night, and taken to Rochester nest morn ing—he, with his confederate, having escaped from the officers there.’, i , ~ Irons the Knickerbocker Magazine. ft must have been sheer envy on the part of Mr. | 0.

She was amiable and af fectionate, and the religion she professed and enjoy ed, evinced to all that she was a child of God. She was deeply impressed that she would die, from the time that she was taken ill, and so expressed herself on several occasions, whilst at the same time the Physician flattered himself that she would soon be restored to health and her distressed relations, but God had decreed otherwise, A few days before her death ahe became very happy, and shouted the praise of God, giving glory to God and tho Lamb, m the highest strains of praise for the unspeakable riches of his love, and exhorting her weeping hug- band and relations to meet her in heaven, ‘-he re mained in great peace while her spirit took its flight to its eternal reward.

Knowing from experience, the valuable qualities oi Dr. HP Lane's Vermifuge and Liver Pills, prepar ed by Fleming Bros., Pittsburgh, I have for some time back considered it my duty, and made it rny business, to make those articles known wherever I went among my friends. A short timo ago I became acquainted with the case of a young girl, who Penn ed to be troubled with worms and liver complaint at the same time, and had been suffering for some two months. Through my persuasion she purchased one bottle of Dr. M'Lane’s % ermifuge, and one box of Liver Pills, which she took according to directions. Tbo result was, she passed a large quantity of worms, thinks that one box more of the Pills will restore j hci’ to perfect health. Her name and residence can j ‘be learned by calling on E. L. Theali, Druggist, cor ner of Rutger and Monroe streets. j !£lF'Purchasers will be careful 10 ask for Dr. M’- j Lane’s Celebrated Vermifuge, manufactured by | Fleming Bros, of Pittsburg, Pa.

I had been troubled with dyspepsia about three years. During the warm season, and at times, was obliged to give up all business; and although 1 had the advice of many good physicians, I was confined for six weeks to the house, and continued to grow worse, until I took your medicine; I am now almost cured of every disagreeable symptom, and able to do business as usual.

It seems particularly efficacious in cholera morbus, bowel complaints, and other diseases to which the natives of Rurraah, from their unwholesome style of living, are peculiarly exposed. It is a valuable anti dote to the poison of Centipedes, Scorgions, Hornets, and the like. I have been twice stung by Scorpions, and in both cases eased the most excruciating pain entirely prevented the swelling by applying the Pain Killer. On our voyage homeward from India, the Captain of the ship was taken with vomiting and purging ana other symptoms of cholera. I gave him a good dose of Pain Killer with the most immediate and happy results. So entire and speedy was the relief, that he assured me he would never again go a voyage without vonr excellent medicine, if he could possibly procure it. Respectfully yours, REV. J.

Many persons have been treated and cured upon this plan, with a great saving to the af flicted; some of them living from 50 to over 100 miles, numbers of whom wc have never seen, while we have had the consolation of meeting others after their convalescence.
