Dear Sir,—Three vears ago I was suf
ferin^ terribly with inflammatory rheuma-
tism Our minister's wife advised me to
tiike Vegetine. After taking one bottle I
was entirely relieved This year, feeling
a return ol the disease, I again commenced
taking it and .<m being benefited grest'y.
It also greatly improves my digestion.
Respectfully,

Mr. H R Stevens.
In 1872 your Vegetine was recommended
to me, and. yielding to the persuasions of
a friend, I consented to try it. At the
time I was suffering from general debility
and nervous prostration, superinduced by
overwork ar.d irr gular habits. Its won
derful strengthening and curative proper-
ties ►eemed to affect my debilitated system
liom the first dose; and under its per-
sistent use I rapidly recovered, gaining
more than usual health and good feeling.
Since then I have not hesitated to 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 I use, and
as long as 1 live I never expect to find a
better.
Yours truly, W. H. CLARK,

Mansfield, formerly pastor ot the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, Hyde Park, and
at present settled in Lowell, must con-
vince every one vho reads his letter ol

tine as a thorough cleanser and purifier
of the blood.

Dear Sir■ — About ten yea^s ago my
health failed through the depleting effects
of dyspepsia: nearly a year later I was
attacked by typhoid fever in its worst
form. It settle'! in niv back, and took the
form of a large deep-seated abscess, which
was fifteen months in gathering. I had
two surgical ope.ations by the best skill
in the State, but received no permanent
cure. I suffered great pain  t times, and
was constantly weakem d by a profuse
discharge. 1 also fb*t small pieces 01
bone at different times.
Matters ran on thus about seven years,
till May, 1874, when a friend recom-
mended me to go to your office, and talk
with you of the virtue of Vegetine. I dtd
so, and by your kindness pas>ed through
your manufactory, noting the ingreoients.
&c., bv which your remedy is produced.
By wha* 1 saw and heard I gained some
ccfi'ience in Vegetine.
1 commenced taking it soon after, but
felt worse fiom its effects} still I uerse
vered, and soon felt it was benefiting ine
in o her respects. Yet I did not see the
results I desired until I had taken it faith-
fu ly for a little more than a year, when
the difficulty in the back was cured; and
for nine mouths I have enjoyed the best
ol health.
I have in that time gained twenty five
pounds ol flesh beinsj heavier than ever
betore in my Ife, and I was nevermore
able to peiform labor than now.
During the past few weeks I had a
scrofulous swell ng as large as mv fist
gather on another part of my body.
I took Vegetine faithf.illy, and it re-
moved it level Afith the surface in a month.
1 think I should have been cured of my
main trouble sooner if I had taken larger
doses, afier having become accusLomed to
its effect*.
Let. your patients troubled with scrofula
or kidnt-y diseases understanJ that it
takes time to cure chronic diseases; and.
if they will patiently take Vegetine, it
will, in iny judgment cure them.
With gicnt obligations I am
Yours very truly.

make up a live, bustling city.
The immigrant has read Brown's
r se-hueil description of Texas and
her towns, and he reluctantly be-
lieves but a portion of it. He has
been told to "Enter Texas at the
Gate City," Denison, and in his
mind's eye has probably pictured
what he expects to find on the south-
ern side of Red river—has cried
himsilf to sleep numbers of times
over it, perhaps, and then is not pre-
pared lor the surprise which awaits
him ; for be it said to the credit of
Denison, he finds' a city in fact, a
people wno are energetic and enter-
prising, and whose streets bear the
imprint ot the nervous activity of the
North, mixed with the generous in-
dependence of the great Southwest.
AN INCIDENT.
I have often heaid und read of the
provetbial d—d foolishness of the av-
erage member of the tribe of young
husband, but have never met with
the genuine article until a trip on the
Central road a few days ago. He
was a native, and as wild and un-
tameu as the cattle on a thousand
hills, while she was young and
blushing and fair, and it was a very
wet day, and they cared for nothing
and nobody but themselves. They
had been matried but a brief twenty-
lour hours, but he would hug hci
right there in the car with a vehe-
mence sufficient to break her corset
strings, with a sad-t ved conductor
with a W' man who was unfortunate-
ly wedded to him, lived here' in a '
tent. About six days previous to the
occurrence we shall mention, the j
woman gave birth to a child—it was j
still-born. She had not yet recovered
from her illness, was very weak and
in bed. Sunday evening, the brutal
husband ais utlted her, helpless as she
was, and seizing her by the hair,
drag ed her into the street, beating
and kicking her in a most heartless
manner. Passers-by and neighbors
interfered, and saved the woman's
life. When picked up and carried
back to her couch in the tent from
which she had just been dragged, our
informants a l state that she was com-
pletely used up. Her husband did
not seem to regret what he had done,
even after his anger was assuaged,
but at once began to arrange his toilet
to return again to the society of his
rough companions.
No police officer was present, and :
inquiries up to a late hour last night
satisfy us that no arrest has yet been ,
made.

strange story: Tuesday morning,
while out hunting, his attention was
directed to a datk object high up in
the not them sky. The peculiar
shape, and the velocity   ith which
the object seemed to approach, rivet-
ed his attention, and he strained his
eyes to discover its character. When
first noticed it appeared to be about
the size of an orange, which contin-
ued to grow in size. After gazing at
it for some time Mr. Martin bccamc
blind from long looking, and idt off
