VEGETINE.
An Excellent Modioine.
Springfield, O. Feb. 28, 1878.
This is to certiiy that I have used veg-e
tine, manufactured by H. R. Stevens,
Boston, Mass., for rlieutnatism and uen-
eri.l prostration of the nervous system,
with good success. I recommend Veye-
tine as an excellent medicine for such com-
plaints. .
Yours very truly.

Mr. Vandegrift, ol the Arm of Vande-
grift & Huffm in, is it well k«own business

Our Minister's Wife.
Louisv llb. Ky., Feb. 16, 1S77.
Mr H. R. Stkvbws.
Dear Sir,—Three years ago I was suf-
fering terribly with inflammatory rheuma-
tism Our minister's wife advised me to
take Vegetine. After taking one bottle I
was entirely relieved. This year, feeling
a return ot the disease, I again commenced
taking it. and «mi being benefited greatly.
It also greatly improves my digestion.
Respectfully,
Mrtfi. A BALLARD.
ion West Jefferson street.
Safe and Sure.
Mr. II If Stevens.
In 1872 your Vegetine was recommended
to me, and, yielding to the persuasions f
a friend, I consented to try it. At the
time I was suffering from general debility
and nervous prostration, superinduced by
overwork and irr gular habits. Its -.von
rierful strengthening and curative proper
ties seemed to aff ct my debilitated system
fiom the first dose; and under its pei-
sislent use I rapidlv recovered, gaining
more than usual health and good feeling.
Since then I have not hesitated 'o give
Vegetine my most unqualified indorse-
ment as being a safe, sure and powerful
agent in promoting health and restoring
the wasted system to new life and energy
Vegetine is the only medicine 1 use. and
as long as I live I never expect to find a
belter.
Yours truly, W. H. CLARK,
120 Monterey street, Alleghany, Pa.
VEGETINE.
The following letter from Rev CJ. W.
Mansfield, formerly pastor 61 the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, Hyde Park, and
at present settled in Lowell, must con-
vince every one who reacis his letter ol
the wonderful curative qualities ol Vrge-
tine as a thorough cleanser and put Wet :
of the blood.
Hyde Park, Mass , Feb, 15. 1S76.
Mit. H. R Stevens.
Dear Sir.—About ten yea's ago mv
health failed through the depleting effects \
of dyspepsia: nearly a year later I was ;
attacked by typhoid fever in its worst \
form. It settle s in mv back, and took the j
form of a large deep-seated abscess, which j
was fifteen months in gathering. I had j
two surgical ope.ations bv the best skill i
in the State, but received no permane/.t !
cure. 1 suffered great pain t times, and \
was constantly Weaken, d bv a profuse i
discharge. 1 also lo.,t small pieces o
bone at different times.
Matters ran on thus about seven years, j
till May, 1874. when a friend recom- j
mended me to go to your office, and talk j
with you of the virtue ol Vegetine. I did j
so,.and by your kindness passed through !
vou fin an u tacltory, riotn'i gtlie I ii'iffe i i 11* H'li.iT "f
Sic., by which your reined\ is produced. j
by wha* 1 saw and heard I gained some j
co^fi'lence in Vegetine.
I commenced taking it soon after, but 1
felt worse from its effects; still I perse- j
vered, and soon telt it was benefiting me
in o her respects, Yet I did not see the ;
uesults I desired until I liatf taken it faith- j
fully for a little more than a yertr. when j
the difficulty in the back was cured j and j
lor nine months I have enjoyed the best
of health.
I have in that tune gained twenty five j
pounds 01 flesh beinu heavier than ever !
before in my life, and I was never more |
abie to petf irin labor than now.
During tfie past few weeks I had a
scrofulous swelling as large as my fist
gather on another part < f my body.
1 took Vegetine fnithf.illy, and it re-
moved it level with the sin face In a month.
I think 1 should have ! een cured of my
main trouble sooner if 1 had taken larger
doses, after having become accustomed to
its effect-.
Let. your patients troubled with scrofula
or kidney diseases understand that it
takes time to cure chronic diseases; and.
if they will patiently take Vegetine, it
will, in my judgment, cure them.
With greut obligations I am
Yours very trulv,
G W. MANSFIELD,
Pastor of the Methodic Episcopal Cinirch.

Report of Lieut. Tays, of the Sail
Eliziiiio siege and massacre, and let-
ters from others at El 1'aso, received
to-day. The Rangers were forted in
a one-story adobe house, having bar-
ricaded the windows and doors and
opened port-holes in the walls. The
mob charged them repeatedly, but
were 111 each case repulsed. The
Mexicans dug trenches and occupied
the surrounding houses, fortifying
the windows. The Rangers weie
finally betrayed into a surrender by
Atkinson's action, who did so to
save his own lite, but was killed at
once. The last fighting was contin-
uous for a whole day. The lieuten- !
ant writes ot the last day : At about
12 o'clock next day I put up. a fbi&j,
as I wanted to let the Sheriff of Pe-
cos county go out. lie had been
with us from the first and cjuld not
remit in longer. Ti.ey let him ^0,
and sent me word they would like to
t dk with me. I went to meet them,
and they agreed not to (iie during
the night and would talk to me in
liie morning. They kept their word,
but erected fortifications, and dug
ritie pits during the ni^lit. J met
them in the morning, and they t il l
me that il I did not give Howard up
they would blow the quarters up, as
they had gunpowder under it. They
promised that if Howard would j^o
down to them ot his own free vv II,
ami relinquish all claims to the salt
lakes, they would not hurt him. I
told Howard, and he said : "I will
g ), as it is the only chance to s ive
your lives, but they will kill me." I
went down with H .ward, but before
he left the quaiters I to d him public*
ly that I did not want him to go, and
if he would stay I would protect him.
lie said : "It i useless for us to at-
ttmpt to stand them off any longer.
This is our only chance of escape."
He bid the bovs good-bye, gave his
valuables to McBride and we walked
out. As there was no q ie at tjheir
quarters to interpret for us, I sent
back for John Atkinson. When he
came they took him to another room
and made some arrangements with
the mob. He returned back to the
quaiters and told the boys that I had
ordered them to come down with
their arms, as even thing was peace-
aoly arranged. When the men ar-
rived they were disarmed and im-
prisoned. The leaders then came to
me and told me I could go to my
own men. I objected and said that
I had brought Howard at their re-
quest and would not leave till all was
arranged. Twelve men filed in and
•sht>vt:;+"?n«--«ui*> smother i:ouuvinhere
toe Shenff of Pecos county, whom
they stiil held, was imprisoned. Then
for the first time 1 heard that my men
had suirendered, uud that John At-
kinson to save his own life had be-
trayed them. They then held a
meeting, and all determined cn the
death of Howard, Atkinson and Mc-
Bride, They were led out about 100
yawls and shot. Nine men Irotn the
other side of the river did the shoot-
ing. The mob veiled whether they
should kill them all—meaning the
Rangers. Most of tin in agreed, and
but for Chico Buvilla they would
have done so. He told them if they
killed one man more iie would turu
his own command on them. They
then told me to send some of my men
to the quarters to look after the
property and cook supper lor the
rest, and that it 1 chose 1 could go 10
the quaiters and sleep, but under a
strong guard. N. xt morning there
was a review ol the mob, and after
maneuvering the troops the leaders
made speeches. Two of them from
the other side of (he river made
strong appeals to the mob to kill not
only us, but all Americans in the
country. The mob again consented,
and but for Chico Burdla would have
rushed m and killed us.
Another party writes that Howard
acted with great coolness and betray-
ed no fears of death, and that his
surrender saved the Rangers. Also
that the Mexicans belonging in Tex-
as were scarcely able to prevent those
from Mexico from slaughtering the
Rangers and all the Americans in
the country. At Ihe beginning of
the fight Ellis, a citizen, started out
of his house. Two days niter his
body was found in the sand hills, his
scalp, eyebrows and beard torn off,
his throat cut from ear to ear, and
stabbed twice in the heart.
General Steele and Major Jones
have been summoned to Washing-
ton lo testify before the Foreign Af-
fairs Committee 011 the Mexican bor-
der question. They leave immedi-
ately.

New York. Jan. 2.—T. G. Lam-
bert, ex-presidrnt of the American

ed the prosecution.

feel authorized to say that Mr. Conk-
ling will not again be sustained by
any Democrats in the Senate on any
issue he may make with Hayes upon
questions ol executive patronage. In
fact, we have been personally in-
f u med of the intention of those Dem-
ocrats who sustained the Ntw York
senator in the recent slriggle to vote
hereafter to sustain the nominations
of Mr. Hayes unless special cause af-
fecting the interests ot the public
service is shown why they JJjould
not be confirmed."
