KIDNEYS are twe in number, situated at iT part of the loin, surrounded by od consisting of three parts, viz: The Anterior, the Interior. and the Exterior. The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of tis- Sues or veins, which serve as a deposit for the urine, and convey it to the exterior, The exterior is a conductor , terminatingin asingle tabe. and called the Ureter, The ureters are connected with the bladder. The blacder is composed of varieus coverings or tiseues, divided into parte, viz: the Upper, the Lower, the Nervous, and the Mucous. The upper expels, the lower retains. Many have the desire to urinate without the ability, others urinste with- out the ability to retain. This frequently occurs in children. To cure these affections we must bring into ac- tion the muscles. which are engaged in their va rieus functions. If they are negiected, Gravel or Dropsy may enene. The reader must also be made aware, that how- ever slight may be the attack, it is sure to affect his bodily health and mental powers; as our flesi and blood are supported from these sources. GOUT. OR RHEUMATISM. Pain occurring in the loins is indicative of the above dineasee. They occur in persons disposed to acid stomach and chalky concretions, THE GRAVEL. The Gravel ensues from neglect or imeronér treat- ment of the kidneys. These organs being weak, the water is not expelled from the bladder, but al- lowed to remain; it becomes feyerish and sediment forms. It is from this deposit that the stone is formed and gravel ensues. DROPSY Ts acollection of waterin some parts of the body, and bears diferent names, according to the parts affected: viz: when generally diffused over thebods itiscalled Anasarca; when of the abdomen, As- cites; when of the chest, Hydeothorax.

Having seen your properstions extensively ad- vertised, I censulted with my family physician in regerd to using your Extract Buchu. I did this because I hed used all kinds of adver- tised remedies, and had found them worthless, and some quite isjurious: in fact, I despaired of ever jetting well, determined to use no remedies ereafter unlesel knew of the ingredients. It was this that prompted me to use your remedy. As ou advertised that it was composed of buchuy cu- yo and juniper berries, it occurred to me and m: bysician as an excellent combination, and, wit! bie advice, after an examination of the article, am consulting again with the druggist, I concluded to try it.

The London Spectator praises this document very monn it says; «Gene: Grant's Feport on the conduct of the war during the last year, in which he was commander-ia-chief, is a yery remarkable cid, simple, strong. It is clear from it that General Grant did really, and not in name merely, direct the operations of all the armies during that final year of battles. For example, when in December, 1864, General Thomas delayed his attack on Hood's army before Nashville beyond the time coniem- plated in General Grant's instructions, he actually left hisown command at Richmond to preceed to Nashville to put things in motion, when he was arrested in Washingtou by the news of General Thomas’ success- ful attack, and returned, well satisfied, to his own more immediate care. It is clear that every great operation of that year was directly ordered by the commander-in-chief over that enormous extent of territory. Hus report is as generous to his subordinates as it is terse and lucid. He speaks with high praise of many, bat with actual ceneure of none—thongh cen- sure is implied in his narrative of their mis- takes. Perhaps the severest implied censure is passed on General Butler for his blunders, both at Bermud. Hundreds, after bis first ap- rance on the James river, and again at ort Fisher. He speaks of his position in the former case as “completely shut off from all further operations against Richmond, as if it had been in a bottle strongly corked.” He awards explicitly equal respect to the fighting qualities of the western and eastern troops, and pays the greatest compliment to the courage and generalship of the enemy, whose man- hood, however, mistaken the cause, drew forth such deeds of valor. The simplicity, clearness and directness of General Grant's style remiads one strongly of that of Csar’s Gallic War.” ae aameeeterentaatieegtoere THE ALEXANDRIA RiOTERS.—The trial of the Christmas rioters in Alexandria, is still pro- gressing. On Friday, the colored man, Logan, testified that on Christmas he was standing on the corner of Alfred and King streets. The crowd numbered 75 or 100, and was coming up the street making a good deal of noise. A colored man, whom he did not know, was coming down, who, on seeing them, turned back. Someone threw a rock, which strack the colored man, knocking him down, near McCook’s drug store. Messrs. Travis and Horsman came up to the colored man and fired two shots at him, but den’t know whether they bithim. Witness then went up halfa square and went through a gate, Horsman and Tra- yis came up,and, putting their pistols over the fence and swearing at him, said, “If you were out here, we would do the same to you.” Others of the party pulled them away. a Stephen Hamulton testified that he was at- tacked on the corner of Prince and Fairfax streets; was tripped on the north side of Prince street, about the middle of the day. John Vaughn testified that he was going to church and some men came up behind him, about twelve or thirteen in all; one of them asked him ifhe was a Union man; he answered, “yes; the man then swore at him: was struck inthe mouth by John Lawler; witness then ran and got a rock; some one then came up and bithim in the mouth, and another called out with an oath, “shoot him:” some fellow went up and told them not to kill him. On Saturday a number of negroes testified to individual cases of assaults, and the court adjourned til) to-day. @ MOVEMENT OF THE ICE ON THE OHIO RIBVR. On Thureday last the ice on the Ohio river, at Wheeling, merged gave way and moved off, but fortunately doing no serious damage. The Wheeling Register, of Friday, however, says: Yesterday afternoon the ice tn the river rather unexpectedly gave way and slowly moved off. The ice was light, no damage was done to any of the boats lying at the landing. The grand sight of vast fields of ice slowly receding from view was witnessed by crowds of spectators on the landing, the river shores and the sus- pension bridge. At Bellair the damage sustaived was more serious. The steamer Silver Lake, heavily freighted, was broken loose from her moorings and carried away with the ice. She drifted about one bund! yards, when she was turned and forced en shore. Last night she lay at the mouth of M’Mshon’s Creek, stern up,in a rather precarious condition. The steamer W. H. Harrison, used by the Baltimore and Ohio and Central Ohio Rail. roads for the transfer of passengers at Bellair and Ben wood, was struek with the gorged ice and slightly She was forced out of the river, where she was secured with ropes. The agent of the Baltimore road, with his usual energy and promptness, immediately made arrangements for speedy transfer of assengers and baggage, and, matt: j is repaired, passengers will this city and transferred to the Central Ohio road by way of Bridgeport. re a7-There are 12,960 public schools in Penn- sylvania, attended last year by 743,930 pupils, or 6,000 less than the year before.

Mr. Brooks used his hands to advantage in self-defense, by seizing hold of Mr. Pollard’s whiskers, and hugging close up tohim. in the scuffle, the heads of the two gentlemen very awkwardly protruded through the pretty spotted glass that screens the clerk's desk, inflicting upon the pocket of the proprie- tors of the hotel the good little eum of $10 or $15. From all we could learn, we believe that this was the whole amount of damage, either personal or material, that resulted from the affair.
