but the weather is very cold, our jail, unfortu
nately, is in a very bad condition; much of
the glass in the windows is broken; the chim

can be made to render your apartment comfort
ble; besides, owing to the number of prisoners,
not more than one blanket can lie allowed to

fore, would lie out of the question. Ill consid

lessen your sufferings as much as possible, the
court in the exercise ofits humanity and com
passion, hereby order you to be executed to
morrow morning, as soon after breakfast as
may be convenient to the sheriff and agreeable

The Daily Telegraph publishes extracts
from letters addressed by Prince d’Joinviile to
his brother the Due d’Aumale, giving an ac
count of the retreat of Gen. McClellan's army
to James river, written June 117. The Prince

Jackson was aixiut to act on Gen. McClellan's
rear and that Beauregard had arrived in Rich

to take a new base of o|ierations upon the
James river, tinder the protection of the gun
boats. He describes the part he took in ar
resting a panic among tire federal troops and
says “your Prince and his nephew were more

ed bravery.”

A Remarkable Case of a boy who was cured by
DR. H. J. BOYNTON.
Of Scrofhlous Ophthalmia, as the following foots will
show:
'TOR a long time the boy's eye-lids had
I ♦‘eu entirely closed His case was consul -
• gjyeial almost hopeless. The boy was pnt an
der the care of Dr. B., and alter great pa
tience and perseverance, with his electrical treatment
and with other curatives, he was able to lift his eye
lids, when it was disco\ ered that a false membrane
had formed and covered the entire eyes. This was
removed by Dr. Boynton, and the boy’s eye-sight i*
now entirely restored, and his eye* stronger than ev
er before. This should be known to all persons who
are similarly afflicted. Although I understand that
the Doctor has for many years, in his operations ou
these delicate orgaus—the eye and ear. met with em
inent success, lie lias not deemed it uece*s*ry to keep
! blaring before the public hi* surgical skill in this par
; ticnlar part of hi* profession, hut has been silently
performing cures, many of them of a remarkable
character."
<Certificates from numerous of his patients
i will testify to his successful operations, all of which
