. From Youngstown, 0., Vindicator, (Dem.)—Schuyler Colfax delivered his famous, lectare, on the life and character of Abraham Lincoln, on ' Wednesday evening, to one of the finest audiences that ever greeted a lecturer in our city. It has become renowued through the country as one of the most elegant productions, in the way of a bipgraphical lecture, ever presented to the American people. It abounds with anecdotes and pleasing incidents, in the life of the illustrious subject, and is replete with pathos and eloquence. It is a lecture well deserving the distinguished character of the author, and one worthy the patronage and consideration of the literary and liberty-lov-ing_ people of this great country. Mr., Colfax’s manner is pleasing and impressive; and he is unquestionably an orator few excel. G vl .

DR. PIERCE’S ’ Yo TN ; : Are not advertised as ‘‘cure-alls,” but are speciffes in the diseases for which they are recommended. I e ! -, NATURAL SELECTION. - lnvestigators of natural sclence have demonstrated beyond 4controverﬂ¥. that throughout the animal kingdom the “*survival of the fittest” is the- - law that vouchsafes thrift and perpetnity. Does not.the same principle govern the commercial prosperity of mdar? An inferior caunot supersede a superior article. By reason of superior merit, Dr. Pierce’s'Standard Medicings have outrivaled all others. Their sale in the United States alone exceeds one million dollars per apnum, while the amount exported foots wp toﬁave,nﬂ hundred thousand more. No business coula grow to such gigaatie groportlons and rest upon any -other-basis than that of merit. : o o - DR. SAGE’S ; . Is Pleasantto Use. - DR.

Evirog:—Having read in your paper re . Forts of the remarkable cures oly catarrh,-T am Induced to tell **‘what I know about catarrh,”and I fancy the “snnff” and “inhaling-tube” makers (mere doilar grabbers) would be glad if theycould emblazon a similar cure in- the papers, For 26 years I euffered with catarrh. The nasal passages became comf)lete]y closed. -“Snuff,” **dust,” “**aghes,” “inhaling tubes,” and **sticks’”” wounldn’t work, though at intervals I would snaff up the so-called ¢atarrh snuff, until I became a valuable tester for such medicines. I gradually Zrew worse, and no one can know how mueh“l suffered or 'what a miserable beiug I was. My head ached over my eyes 80 that I was confined to my bed for many suceessive days, suffering the most intense gam, which at one time lasted continuously for shours. ~All gsense of smell and taste gone, sig?. and Hearing impaired, body shrunken and weakened, nervous system shattered, and constitution. broken, and I was hawking and spitting seveneighths of the time, I prayed for death to relieve me of my snffering. A favorable notice in yonr -paper of Dr. Sage's'Catarrh Remedy induced me to purchase a paekglic, and useit with Dr Pierce’s Nasal Douche, which applies the remedy by hydrostatic pressure, the only way compatible 'with common sense. Well, Mr. Editor, it did not cure me in three-fourths of a second, nor 1n one ‘hour or month, but in less that eight minutes I was relieved, and in three months entirely ¢ured, and have remained so for over slxteen months, While using the Catarrh Remedy, I nged Dr. Pierce’s Golaen Medieal Discovery to purify my-bloodiand /Etrengihen my stomach. "I also kept my liver active.and bowels regular by the use'of b's Pleasant Puargative Pellets. If my experience will induce -other sufferers' to seek the same means of relief, this letter will have gnswered its purposes,” . - : Yours traly, »8.. D REMICEK.
