Ague Cure Is a purely vetaMo liittor and power ful tonic, anil is warranted a speedy ami certain cure for Fever and Ague, Chills and Fever, Intermittent or Chill Fe ver, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical or nilioiis Fever, and all malarial disorders. In iniasmatit; dis tricts, the rapid pulse, mated tongue, thirst, lassitude, loss of appetite, pain in 'I'o. hack and loins, and coldness of the spine and extremities, are only premonitions f severer symptoms, which terminate in the ague paroxysm, succeeded by high fever and profuse perspiration. It is a startling fart, thnt quinine, arse nic ami other poisonous minerals, form the basi3 of most of the " Fever and Ague Preparations," " Specifics," ." Syrups." and "Tonics," in the market. The prepara tions made from these mineral poisons, although thev are palatable, and may break the chill, do not cure, but leave the malarial and tneir own iru jimmm the system, producing quinism, dizziness, ringing in the ears, headache, vertigo, ami other disorders more formidable than the disease they were intended to cure. Ayeii's Aoi K CiitK thoroughly eradicates these noxious poisons from tho system, and always cures the severest cases. It contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing that could injure the most delicate pa tient: and its crowning excellence, alx.ve its ccrtaintv to cure, is that it leaves the aystem as itree Iroin disease as before the attack. For Liver Complaints, Ateu's Ant n Critr. by direct action on the liver ami biliary apparatus, drives out the poisons which produco these complaints, and stim ulates the system to a vigorous, healthy condition. We warrant it when taken according to directions. Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Practical and Analytical Chemist.

Geo. W. Kendall states that as the ad vance party were about starting, we were all rejoiced by the appearance of Lieutenant Hann and his men. He had met with several small partieB of Indians, and endeavored to induce them to come in and hold a friendly talk, but they were sulky and disposed to fight, although not" stronc; enough to engage him Up to this time he knew nothing of the murder of Lieutenant Hall's party. The Run had but a short hour to run, in order to finish his day'B work on the 31st of August, when in double file and close order, our proyisioas (jerked beef) for march banging at our saddle-skirts, we left our companions on the Quintefuo and struck across the prairie on our journey in search of the settlements of New Mexico, Sir. Hunt, the engineer of the expedition tak- inor the enidarice. A brisk trot of two o . c hours brought us, as night was throwing ita KahlA dmnenr over the scene to the foot of the mountains, and here, after choosing a strong position, we encamped. Nb water could Le found in our vicinity, but as we had filled our gourds and canteens before we left tbe main body, we suffered but little. Early tLe next morning, after traveling a mile or two, we discovered what aeemed to be a forge Indian trail, the marks h;re the lent pole had been dragged over the ground being plainly visible, lead ing in a z-5zX course np the aide of the mountains. TV we followed, and toward noun found ourselves at the aummit of tbe chain. Here we were again gratified by finding Ppread out before na a perfectly lev el prairie, exteading aa far a the ejo could rvach, and without a tree to vary its com plete icoaotony. We baited a few xainutea to rest our bore, and orcuj4ed the time in surveying the calm and Uauiul va3y lying bnndredf of fett below u. It was a lovely acene, ULell from the point whero we stood, and I could hardly beliove that but a few hour previous a hor. rible tragedy had been ecacted upon its fair surface. Softened down by the distance, there was a tranquility about it which seem, ed a s though it had sever yet been dis turbed. Tho deep green skirtings of the different water courses rolieved the eye as it fell up on the wide spread plain. Tbe silver wuters of the Quintefuo, now reduced ap. patently to a mere thread, were occasional. ly brought to view as some turn of 'the stream threw thorn in line with na, and again they were lost to sight under the rich folioge of the banks. Tbe white tope of wagons showed the present encampment of our main body, while tho small blwsk spot around gave us the pleasing assurance that the cattle and horses were still there, and that the camp bad been unmolested. In other parts of the valley, too, small moving specks were seen mustangs, or perhaps our Indian enemies prowling about but other than these no living objects met our gaze. Almost the whole valley was border. ed by yawning chasms that had impeded the progress of our wagons, now brought more plainly to view by tbe elevation upon which we s;ood. After giving our animals half an hour's rest, for they were much jaded by the pre. cipitons ascent which they had made, we re sumed our journey in a north-west direc tion. We discovered ft bear, which we chased and killed. The journey was rosumed and continued at a rapid pace until nearly the middle of the afternoon. A short halt was then called to rest our horses at a place where no water was seen, but where the grass was excel, lent The bridles were no sooner slipped from the heads of our animals, than an elderly and sagacious mule, instead of foeding on grass, put off at a deliberate trot, "That mule scents water, sure," said his owner, aud sure enough, he did, whioh was not more than three hundred yards off in a pond bole, but concealed from our sight. The discovery of this water was very opportune, for we had drank but little in nearly twenty four hours, and our animals had not swal lowed a drop, Kendall alludos to the three men, who went out to hunt mesquite beans and were attacked by Indians. One of these men was killed outright, one named Mesoer, life was spared by the intercession of the Indian chief, because Messer in broken Spanish said he was no American, but was so badly wounded that be died some days afterwards, only one man making good his escape. This happened after Kendall and companions left us. The Spring number of Ehrich's Fashion Quarterly more than fulfils the promise of its predecessors. Within the compass of its one hundred and twenty pages, it sets be. fore its readers an absolutely complete epit ome of tho fashiops of the coming season in ladies' wearing apparel and fabrics of every kind; and this, not in the shape of a series of vague generalities, such as the ordinary fashions journal too often content itself with, but by meaus of a succession of clear ly written descriptions of actual articles, each accompanied with an engraving of the thing described, and all arranged in so order ly aud methodical a manner that any desired information can be referred to without dif ficulty, Over sixty new designs for ladies' and children's dresses are illustrated and de. scribed, together with a large number of trimmed hats, light spring wraps, and other articles for the adornment of the outer wo man. A new feature of the Magazine is tbe introduction of fashions in men's clothing; a large variety of stylish looking and eco nomical suits being illustrated and de scribed. The literary features of the magazine also deserve their meed of praise. Margaret Eytinge, Josephine Pollard, Eben E. Kex ford. and other well-known writers are rep resented by tales, sketches and poems. An interesting article on "Household Decora tion" is contributed by Mrs. E. V. Battey of the New York Sun; and Hope Ledyard's talk from the Easy Chair will be read with interest by mothers, for and near. Alto gether, we think the emphatic verdict pro nounced by every lady reader on the present number of the Fashiox Qcabtzhlt will be: "Worth its price and ten times more."
