CHESS TOURNAMENT.

This interesting game between “ Blenheim” and “ Omicron” has resulted in favor of Blenheim (black), having been well -contested throughout. Blenheim made a rather unusual and timid opening, in consequence of which Omicron had the best of the game until the 30th move, when, owing to a blunder in exchanging Queens, Blenheim gained a decided advantage, which he followed up well to the end. black. white. 1.

Holloway’s Ointment and Pills.—A frequent cause of gout and rheumatism is the inflammatory state of the blood, attended with bad d’gefltion and general debility. A few doses of these Pills, taken in time, are an effectual pre - ventative against gout and rheumatism, but anyone who has an sttack of either should use Holloway’s Ointment also, the powerful ’properties of which, combined with the effects of the rills, .must infallibly effect a core. Those Bills act directly on the blood, which they purify and improve; they al&o regulate the secretions, and give tone to the stomach, and thus the whole system is invigorated, and put into a condition which enables it to throw off disease or check its approach.
