A Queer Go.—The horses of the Oldham prison van bolted the other day, van and all, and it was long before they reached their goal, which was not the gaol; and as the prisoners had been sentenced to the gaol and not to the goal, the goal had to be quitted for a return run to the gaol. HotaOWAY'a PllM.—These celebrated Pills are essentially useful in purifying the blood, cleansing the stomach, gently stimu lating the kidneys, and acting as mild 'aperients. A few doseß of this purifying medicine set the foulest stomach right, remove all bilious symptoms, steady the circulation, give strength to the muscles and ■' composure te the bruin and nerves. The Pills are so innoxious that they may be taken by persons in the most delicate state of health, and with marvellous effect. When the system has been enervated by overindulgence, or exhausted by mercurial preparations, thesef Pills are excellent restoratives, they expel the poison and enrich the|blood.
