the communication of A. O. Yates, in last

the small-pox in as to keen fools out. The

on the most astute and profound philos

The Concert.
The Camiila Urso Concert troupe was
greeted by a large audience on Friday
night, and judging from the vociferous
"encores" the artists wore thoroughly ap
preciated. Madame Urso ranks very high
as a violinist, taking rank with such mas
ters as Wieniauske, Ole iJull.Vieuxtenins. i
Ernst, and in our limited knowledge of.
music we could not help noticing how far
she exceeded in grace, elegance of toucli I
and harmony anyone who has ever before j
appeared in this city. Her concerts from !
Mendelssohn was 'a grand effort, and
though rather too classical for the unculti
vated ear, it was thoroughly enjoyed. On
being brought before the audience a sec
ond time she played the famous Saltarella,
which, on account of its familiarity, was
perhaps even better received than the pre
ceding opus 64. Her rendition of "The
East Itose of Summer" was a most ex
quisite performance, actually holding the
audience sjell-bound from the first stroke
of the bow to her retiriii'r bow. Misslvv
Wandesforde's singing, to use an enrap
tured girl's expression, "was too lovely
for anything." She is quite young and
though her voice has not received the
volume of maturity, her compass is ex
traordinary, and we prognosticate a bright
future for her close at hand. Her charm
ing singing of "The Lover and the Bird"
fully deserved the loud plaudits, and
many were the wishes that she would
sing her entire reportoire. Mr. Augusta
Sauret's performance on the piano was
brilliant, while the vocalisms of Mr.
Yaindlcy called forth loud expressions of
delight. Mr. Pllueger's "Salva Dimora"
showed a cultivated voice and feeling
heart. On being encored he sang most
enchantingly Santley's great favorite, "Le
Postillion Je Lonjuneau." The troupe
was very much pleased with its reception
here, and we can safely answer for our
people that it was in every way deserving
it, and the wish is general that the troupe
complete or as individuals maj' soon visit
us again.
University Fund Commissioner.
The last Legislature passed an act enti
tled, "An act to provide for the support
and government of the University of

Gentlemen Seeing numerous certificates in
the Maine Farmtr, endorsing the merits of
the Great Lung Remedy, Wistar'3 Balsam
ok Wild Cherry, I am induced and I take
great pleasure in giving publicity to the great
cure it accomplished In my family In the year
lSoti. During the summer of that year my son
Henry A. Archer, now postmaster at this
place, was attacked with spitting of blood,
cough, weakness of lungs, and general debil
ity, so much so that our family physician
declared him to havea'seated consumption."
Ha was under medical treatment for some
time, but received no benefit from it. At
length, from the solicitation of himself and
ot hers, I was induced to purchase one bottle
of WlSTAR'S RALSAM OF WlLDClIERRY.Which
benefitted him so much I obtained another,
which in a short time restored him to his
usual state of health. I can safely recommend
this remedy to others in like condition, for it
is, I think, all It purports tr be the great
LUNG REMEDY FOIt THE TIMES !

The following Is an Interesting caso of
man employed in an Iron Foundry, who. i
injuring melted iron into a flask that wa
damp and wet. caused an explosion. Tho
melted iron was thrown around and on him
in a perfect shower, and he was burned
dreadlully. The following certificate was given
to me, by him, about eight weeks after tho
accident :
New York, Jan. 11, 18C0.
My name is Jacob Hardy; I am an Iron
Founder. I was badly burnt by hot iron in
November last; my burns healed, but 1 had a
running sore on my leg that would not heal,
I tried Holloway's Ointment and it cured me
in a few weeks. This is all true and anybody
can see meat Jackson'slron Works, 2d Avenne.

FOR CUTJLUSCtSGRDERS.
And all eruptions of the skin, this Ointment is
most invaluable. It does not heal externally
alone, but penetrates with the? most searching
effects to the very root of the evil.
HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.
Invariably cure the following diseases :
Disorders of tle Kidneys.
In all diseases affecting these . organs,
whether they secrete too much or too little
water; or whether they be afilictcd with
stone or gravel, or with aches and pains set
tled in the loins over the regions of the kid
neys, these Pills should be taken according to
the printed directions, and the Ointment
should Ik? well rubbed into the small of the
back at bed time. This treatment will give
almost i in mediate relief when all other means
have.lailed.
For Stomachs out of Order.
No medrcPne will so effectually improve th
tone of the stomach as these Pills ; t hey remov
all acidity, occasioned either by intemperance
or improper diet. They reach the liver and re.
duce.it to a healthy action; they are wonder
