Upon each of the bodies a "tring was found fastened to the neck, the cords n&VUlg ^een y probably placed there to produce n auguiati0n The bodies, however, are in a very ;i!!?vnp°fJed state, so that deductions as to how proauc«d cannot be very conclusively wTp, w«m the condition of the remains. The bociies were removed to tbe aeadhouse to await an inquest. They Were wrapp0d when found in a piece of blue dress Btuff and white calico.

JPFESSES. STRENGTH FOR THE WEAK. The attention of the feeble, and those in failing health, is particularly called to one of the greatest discoveries of modern times, known as LIEBIG'S CHEMICAL FOOD, OB WINE OP PHOSPHATES, A Nutritious and Invigorating Essence, highly recom- mended, by the most eminent of the Medical Profession for the Cure of Nervous Head and Mind Complaints, Coughs, Asthma and Incipient Consumption, Nervousness, Weakness and Exhaustion, Dimness of Sight, Shortness of Breath, Headache, Depression, Palpitation of the Heart, Drowsiness, Indigestion. Singing Noises in the Head ana Ears, Trembling, Loss of Memory, Want of Appetite, Neuralgia. Pains and Aches, Wasting Diseases, Loss of Energy, Impaired Nutrition, Inactivity of the Brain, wltih dulness of perception and delusions, and all other low states of the system indicating the presence of disease, which if not attended to in time may become serious. TESTIMONIAL FROM SIR CHARLES LOCOCK, PHYSICIAN TO THE QUEEN. I have for some years recommended LIEBIG'S "CHEMICAL FOOD in cases of general ill-health with the most beneficial results. I find it to be a "very pure preparation, containing amongst other things freeand unoxydized Phosphorus highly diffused, c. and when persevered with has always seemed to give fresh life to the languid and exhausted, and health, strength, and energy. By its use the dull, the slug. gish, the lazy and languid arise in the morning well and refreshed, with an appetite for food, and fit for study, society or business. "CHARLES LOCOCK, M.D." LIEBIG'S CHEMICAL FOOD Is the true strength-giver and health-restorer, nourishing both body and brain, supplying mental and physical power, and nerve and brain food. It is not at all like medicine, being entirely different to anything ever before introduced to the public, and tastes like some balmy, fragrant, and delicious nectar. LIEBIG'S CHEMICAL FOOD Purifies and Enriches the Blood, thereby rendering the skin clear and transparent, sharpens the intellect, streng- thens the constitution, re-establishes the health, tho- roughly re-vitalises the system, and is the one unfailing remedy for debility from whatever cause arising. LIEBI" CHEMICAL FOOD Will be found highly beneficiul in all diseases of the Heart. Che6t, Liver, Lung: Kidneys, Stomach, and Bowels, and there is scarcely a disease but what will be benefitted by it, and in all human probability cured. While all other preparatious of Phosphorus are slow and uncertain in their action, taking days and sometimes weeks to produce an effect, this CHEMICAL FOOD (Wine of Phosphates) acts at once and gives strength in one hour, and has been known to restore health in less than a week, even after the failure of the usual reme- dies. This remarkable preparation not only contains all the materials necessary for the foundation of a new constitu- tion and for preventing or curing disease, but a.so evolves everything required for forming rich. pure, and healthy blood, muscle, flesh, bone, brain, &c., and coutains the very elements of LIFE. This wine is perfectly free from alcohol, and restores to the system whatever it requires, the absence of which often causes the debility, 'ihe secretions are all brought to their natural healthy condition, and physical decay arrested. This wine is as certain in its action as that water quenches thirst,and its benefits are lasting. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. Far superior to beef-tea, port wine, and all tonic medicines: -Laneee.

HABRON ON THE STAGE. William Habron. who was sentenced to death for the murder of Poltce-oonstable Cock at Whalley Range, and afterwards released on the confession of Charles Peace, was exhibited on the stage of the Theatre Royal, Accrington, a few nights ago. Habron appeared for the "benefit of the two Maos," who were perform- } ing at the theatre, and who, the bill announced, were friends of Habron's. The building was crowded, and Habron on making his'appearance was warmly cheered. He wore evening dress and had four medals on his breast. He briefly referred to his trial, his conviction and sentence, the con- fession of Peace, and the receipt of the reprieve. He thought there was no one in that building or elsewhere who had been so near death as he had. The grave intended for him was open for four days, and he was measured for his coffin several days before the date lixed for his execution. Fortunately for him, Peace, the notorious burglar, made a full confession, and he was set at libertv just at the brink of death. Habron spoke for several minuteB, and on retiring thanked the audience for the warm reception given him. re- marking that he was not accustomed to speaking in public.
