Baya the Bt. Lotris(Me.) Democrat: Below,'we pub*
Hah a letter.to Dr. Wood of this city, from a gentleman
In Maine,' which apaaka • glowingly of the superior
merits of his hair tonic. Such evidence moat have its
effect, when coming from a reliable source. If certlfl*
cates are guarantees of truth, the Dr. needs noenco
mlums, nor useless puffery from the press:
‘ .-Bath* I Maine, Jan.2o, 1856.
ProfeworO. J. Wood &Co.—Gentlemen: Having my
attention called a few months si nee,to the highly bene
ficial effects of your Hair Restorative, I won induced to
make application'of It upon my own hair, which had be*
come quite gray, probably one-third white; my whie-'
kers were of same character. ,Bome threb months since
I procured 'a bottle l of your hair restorative, and nssd
it,.' I boqq found it was proving what I had wished. I
used it- about twice a v week. ’ I have since procured
another bottle'j of -which I hare used some. 1 can now
certl y to the world that the gray or white hair has to
tally disappeared, both on my head' and face and my
hair has resumed • its natural color, and I believe more
soft and glossy than it has been before for twenty-five
years, lam nbw sixty years old; my good wife at the
age of fifty-two, has used it with same effect.
The above notice I deem due to you tor tout valuable
discovery. 'I ain assured that whoever,yrilt rightly use,
aa-perl-directions,’ will not have occasion to contra*
diet my statements. lam a citizen ,of, this city, and a
resident here for the last-fiftflenreiirs,. arid am known
to nearlyevery onribere and-adjoining towns. Any use
you may make of the above; ,wltb my iiame attached, Is
:at yonr service, as I wish to preserve, the beauties of
nature in others as well as myself. lam truly, yours.

belleVed, fields a hoiirishment better adapted
to the healthful requirements of the human system
through life than aoy other one substance known to
Civilization.
This nourishment is made up of those properties in
grain chemioally known as saccharine matter, gluten/
4c. The saccharine matter contributes most of the
nourishment, and contains also an active principle
whioh, when received into the stomach as a component!
of bread, aids digestion
These great nourishing and invigorating properties
of grain produce, under the action rf heat and by the
aid of certain machinery, a moot powerful stimulant
If such a product can be extracted from grain by »rti-'
flcial means, it indicates, unmistakably, the taflacn-e,
which the saccharine matter or sugar proptrtyta wheat
has upon the bodily powers of man, when subjected to
the natural chemical action of the human stomach.
It seems, therefore, that this is an indispensable pro*
perty of grata, as a nourishment, giveu to It for the
most beneficent purpose, and consequently should he
retained, as far aB practicable, inhll the preparations of
grain for food.
WING’S PROCESS secures the highest amount of nu*
trlment that has ever been produced from wheat
In the preparation of the material, and in the rn&na
faotare of WING’S FARINA ORAOKERS, the life-sup
porting principle of the grain remains, not deadened, or
injured, as in flour by too close grinding, but retaining
its most active properties, so necessary to digestion and
tbe energ *li>g iorce with which It imparts to the body
a health ul growth or renewed vigor and strength. ,
The constantly-increasing demand for WINGJB FA*
RINA OBAOKER3, with tbe commendatory remarks of
Snrents, teachers, and physician, 1b strong proof of the
ealtbfal and beneficial results wnich have attended
their use.'
WING’B CRACKERS have a pleasant taste, act kindly
upon the stomach, and for dyspeptics or the aged, as well
as sedentary and delicate persons gonerallj, they azo
most acceptable.
It is believed that there never has been anything in
troduced eqml to WING’S FARINA CRACKERS as a
healthful nourishment for children.
In purchasing, it should be borne in mind that there
are no genuine Farina Orackers ra&de bnt by Mr Wing.
Ilia are the only Orackers manufactured In the United

AUother so-called Farina Orackers are imitations.
Take none, therefore, for Fariua but those having the

MONDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1858,
Serfdom in Russia.
Much excitement has been caused in his
own empire, and general curiosity through.
out the civilized world, by the circumstance
of- the Osier having taken a firm position in
favor of abolishing Serfdom In Russia. Ho
'has done this with some peril to himself, be
cause the serfs, whom he would relieve, ap_
Jpoar to take comparatively li tie interest in
;hls endeavors on their behalf, and tbo nobles,
'with whoso “rights” and “property” he
interferes, are greatly discontented, and in
.liussia, ere now, suoh discontent has ended
in the assassination of the Gear. Within
tho last hundred years, there have been throe
catastrophes of this sort: Pete a 111 do.
posed by his wife and tho OrloiTs, and
soon after murdered in 1762 s Paul 111,
'murdered in 1801; and Alexander I, bo
dieved to bavo been poisoned, at Taganrog, in
'.1825. Those are unhappy antecedents in one
family, and considering that tho Russian no
•bility were involved in each, are enough to
make even an Autocrat aiarroed. But tho
Czar does not appear to’, shrink from tho pro
vable peril. He "evidently purposes to put
down Sorfd,om ; ,.pr iperi Sh. His policy may he
rtiiestiened 'ty" BotnV; his courage must bo
Acknowledged rhy all. Our roadors will ra
i'membor, no doubt, that Talleveand's defloi.
■Cion of imperiai rule in Russia was “an al>-
f&oluto monaroby, tempered by occasional as
sassination.”
j The “institution” of serfdom has not ox
listed a very long time in Russia. ,Ivan 111
ascended the ducal throne in 1402, being con
temporary with ,Louis XI, of Prance; and
Jldward IV, of England, and closed his reign
ps first of tho Czars. About ono hundred and
years later,'Fsonoß'l, one of his suc
cessors, saw Russia suffer many reverses, in
cluding the temporary occupation of Moscow
by the Poles; and' then ppraaneut annexation
i&f J’olaud and IV hite Russia. . Feodor died in
1698, and Boris Godunow, who immediately
Usurped the thropo, instituted soifdom by
W", ukase. To restrain. the nomadic habits
his : snbjocts, many of whom had Tar
lar or -Mongolian blood 'in ' their veins,
mis Emperor onafcted ‘that, every peasant
should settle definitely on the land ho,liad oc
cnple;! oh the ’ previous “ Yurieff’s dAy,”
fbich is still celebrated as a,,day of wop in the
Sussian national aonga. ■ .-Yet tho .Hussion
msant complains, in these old lyrics; not so
much of tho slavery itself, as of tho prohibition
to. move about from place to place. Actually,
ihe chief difference between English and Rhs-
Sian sorldom is only a matter of time. It Was
abolished, under tho onrly descendants ot
SVItLiAM tho Oonqnoror, sorao conturios bo
fore it was. commenced in Russia,
t. While the Mongolian hordes occupied Rus
sia, from tho thirteenth to tho filteeiith cen
,tury, tho country was divided into princi
palities, and the peasant might wander where
it/e pleased, within the limits of the princi
pality to which he was attached. The ukase
of Bonis GodohoW assigned tho Russian
peasants to the soil. Eventually the owners
pf land, availing themselves of the inability
of the peasants to change their locality, ex
erted from them compulsory labor on their
estates, and subsequently menial serricos
About their dwellings. Thenceforward the
pehsa'nt camo under the police regulations of
the land-owners, but was not yet tho property
Of his landlord; which, however, he appears
(o iiaVd beComo. Completely before tho death
of Peter tho Great, In i 725.
v -WJbilp , Russia was purely an agricultural
cOuhttynho ortlib'seif-was-moro
nominal than real. In most cases, the nobles
did not live on their estates, and forcod labor
Was not exacted from tho peasants, who gone
rally occupied all the land, paying to tho pro
prietor an annual sum by way of rent. This
is still the case on tho Crown lands and many
private estates. In Russia, undorthis system,
property has its duties as well as its rights, its
burthens as well as its profits. Tho land-pro
prietor was liable to tho State for the taxes of
his serfs, and, besides, if his serfs bad no means
of their own, he was forced to maintain them.
Mot living among his poasants, or “ serfs, J>
the proprietor cbuld not exercise control over
the property of individuals. lie imposed a
tribute upoh the whole village or commune.
The proprietor set apart, for the use ot his
peasants, a certain extent of land, all of which
belongs to the communo collectively—every
individual peasant who was born in tho village
having thereby a claim to a portion of it. In
other words, tho land is divided equally among
those who livo upon it. Children have no
right of inheritance to their father’s sharo.
Each son claims an equal sharo with the rest,
as an individual member of the commune.
Heroin will bo found tho origin of the modern
word “ Communism,” so much used by tho
Fouriorites and other Socialists.
An Ancient (called Starosta ) governs each
cottimnno. Ho is sometimes appointed by the
pfrtipHeior, sometimes by tlio peasants theih
selves. German and even Russian authors
who have written on Serfdom, differ as to the
powers of the Starosta. One class sees in hi s
rule tho reflection of the imperial author, an
other denies his right to govern tho commune
despotically. In fact ail his power is derived ,
and he cannot govern despotically except
when tho whole commune agrees with him.
Moreover, his functions are wholly administra
tive. The councils of elders, or tho members
of the commune in general assembly, decide
all questions of general importance.
Every Russian peasant, or««serf/* belongs to
d commune, receiving, ns sttch, a portion of
land for his own use, and thetdfore afetunl pau
perism would seem to be impossible. Each
serf is tho property of a master, it js true ;
but each has property of his own. Tho result
must bo,— and this forms tho groat difficulty
of tho Czar’s emancipation scheme—that if the
serfs be liberated without their land being pre
served to them, they will not value tho change.
If tho land bo preserved to the serfs, tho own
ers of the soil must bo robbed of it} naturally
enough, tho land owners look upon tho meas
uro as ono of wholesale robbery and confis
cation upon them.
The idea that the labors of tho serfs belong
to tho proprietor was hot prevalent until tho
reign of Peter tho Great. Under tho Em
press Oathabine their condition was at its
wofst—that modern Messalina havingaliberal
habit of making presents of whole populous
estates to her favorito courtiers and lovers.
This system of transfer was abolished by
Alexander I, who had somo idoas on tho
subject of gradual emancipation of tho serfs,
but never carried them out. Ilia successor,
the late G?ar, issued an ukaso, in 1842, grant
ing tho serfs power to make contracts, and
hold and allowing the proprietors to
liberate their serfs, under certain conditions.
Another concession was, that tho members of
a serPs family should not bo separated—if
sold at all, they must bo sold altogether, with
tho land. Previous to this, though tho pea
sant was originally attached to the soil, tho
landowner had usurped tho power of selling
him, off* tho land, as caprice or interest dic
tated.
The serfs aro liable to military sorvico. Tho
term was reduced from twonty-flvo to fifteen
years, by the lato Czar. On receiving his
discharge, oach sorf becomes absolutely freo,
with a right to enter one of the crown
communes, which is hound to receive him,
and allot him a portion of land. Very few
profit by this permission, but usually abide
in large cities as artisans, servants, &c.
Should a liberated serf return to his own
original commune, bo may reside with any
peasant who will receivo him, but tho pro
prietor ef tho soil has no claim on him for
labor, nor has ho any claim on the propri
etor for land.
In 1844, tho Czar Nicholas ordained that
no one should have the right of purchasing
Berth, unless ho had attained the fifth tchin , or
rank, and upwards, in tho civil and military
service. Nobility, in Russia is hereditary and
personal. Only the high hereditary nobles
can hold serfs,, but Stato service gives equal
privileges as hereditary rankhas. But, out of
thoso not already nobles by inheritance who
enter the State service, only a fow can hope to
attain the filth grade—that of full colonel, rear
admiral, or councillor of State.
Under tho Czar Nioiiolas was also intro
duced the system of' mortgage, which has
| made large numbers of .'these sorts free, in all
| respects but name, by transferring them to the
1 Crown. A peasant of the Crown pays ten
1 ronbles a year for his passport, and has then,
! a full right to all ho can earn or produce.
, When a Russian nolilo wants money, (and
! this claBS arc frightfully extravagant,) the
! State advances him cash to tho amount of
two-thirds of the value of his estate. If this
sum, with intorest, bo not repaid in a cer
tain numbor of yoars, the noblo’s estate
tails in as Government land, and tbe serfs be
come Grown peasants.
Again: if a person not a noble be the natural
heir to an estate with serfs, he cannot enter
into tho inheritance. Tho Govornmont pays
him its full value, tho land becomes crown
land, and the serfs crown-peasants, who are
fully freo, except for paying about seven dol
lars for llieir passport. Many of the rich
merchants of Moscow and St. Petersburg arc
crown-peasants ; some of them are serfs who
have purchased their own freedom, or pay a
nominal poll-tax, or obrok, to their proprie
tors. . , - ■ , . „ , ; , ,
The general treatment of tho serfs is ljettor
under resident proprietors, who; personally
know them well,‘than under noh-rosident! pro
prietors, or new proprietors, who govern their
estates through German dfjverft’d vory had,
harsh species, of slave-drivers.. The serf's on
large estates are bettor off than those Upon
small ones. Tho best off are thoso on estates
belonging to proprietors who are so wealthy
that they do not plunder their but
are not 1 so rich that they afford to spend nil
the year away from thoir communes, At the
coronation of Alexanoer n, he issued an
ukase prohibiting the owners of less than a
hundred slaves to purchase more. . j
It is not easy to estimate the number of
serfs in Russia. There are some 10,0UQ.000
male serfs belonging to privato proprietors,
and about 13,000,000 crown peasants.
Resuming this subject to morrow, we shall
stato the particulars of the Czar’s sebemo of
emancipation j the objections which have been
raised to it; and the social and polittcal and
personal difficulties in the way of his exe
cuting this design.

Feat of ah Old Man.—The venerable Dr.
Osgood, of Danver3, Conn., now, we think, nearly
eighty years of »go. having been to Salem, Mass'.,
to nttend the convention, and having missed the
last coach, Sot out on foot for home, a distance df
four miles. Tbo night was dark, and arain storm
prevailing, which rendered the feat the more da
ring for so aged a man. At Davenport the dootor
missed bis way, and walked off Black’s wharf into
the river! The water happened, fortunately, to
be only waist high, aud after floundering about
for awbilo he found a boat and got into it, and
thcro uttored such shouts for help that the neighl
bor? were roon raised and ho was extricated from
his perilous position. (
Scented Oils.—-Some of these are sold by
perfumers at a very high profit; they can all be
propared at a very small expense. Take a quart
of common olive oil, and heat It in a stoneware
vessel up tb 212 degrees, then add half an ounoe of
sal-soda, and stir all for fifteen minutes Allot?
the oil to cool, and a sediment will fall to the boN
tom; pour off tbo clear, and scout it with any
of tile essential oils, such as rosemary,
and lavender. One-fourth of an ounee of essen?
till oil will scent a quart of the prepared oil;
which is very excellent for tho hair, and equal to
Rowland’s celebrated Macassar oil, sold at snob
extravagant prices. * (

Kalamazoo, Capt. Taylor, now at City P< int,
with salt and iron from Liverpool, is a genuine
floating wonder, and illustrates the ideaofßnboV
as astoundingly as would a human menagerie o!
all the tame and wild bipods in existence. The
captain is a Quaker from Pennsylvania; his wife
is an Irish woman; the first mate is an Irishman,
the second a Yitiginian, the cook a Chinese, the,
stewardess a •*Cornwall girl,” (married to tho|
cook!) two of the sailors aro Malays, two ne

pipe in tho streot at tho corner of FultoD and Wa-.

laid to the dock. Tho experiment will first be
tried on tho “ Nassau,” at tbo Fulton forry, and if
successful, tho apparatus will bo placed on all the

Freak or Lightning. —A very curious
freak of lightning was exhibited at Belfast, Me.,
tho other day. A dwelling house was struok
during & shower. A lady was sitting in one of
tho rooms at the tirno, with one foot on the hearth
of tho stove. and holding a child in her lap
Tho skirt of her dress and her underolotboi were
perforated with several large holes, h6r stocking
on tho foot re«ting on tho floor rent to pieces,'and
her cloth-gaiter boot literally tofn to ribbons.
And yet she sustained no bodily injury.
A few years sixCE, some physicians of
Virginia determined to test the constitutionality
ef the law taxing them for the privilege of practi
sing their’profession. Accordingly, Dr. N Snead,
of Washington county, rofused to pay his tax,
whereupon the sheriff levied upon His horse, and
tho doctor wa3 presented for refusing to comply
with the law, and practising medioine without
first procuring » license. At the last circnit oourt
hold in Abingdon, Jud e Fulton declared the law
uucoustitutioual, and quashed tho indictment.
M. Garvahi, a French machinist, has, it is
said, perfected his aerial ship, at a cost of 300,000
frnnos, and made a voyage to Algiers (Africa) and
back with it, a distance of fifteen hundred miles
from the starting point. The average speed was
almost ono hundred miles an hour, tho voyage oc
cupying eighteen hours. M Garvani is to make
’he attempt from Havre to tho oitv of Now York
as soon as he further tested tho oharaoter of his
invention by a few abort trips over the Mediterra
nean and its neighboring provinces.
Velocity of the "Wind —When the wind
moves at tho rato of one milo an hour, it is hardly
perceptible, at two miles an hour it fans us as tho
gentle zephyr, and at aix it becomes a gentle
zephyr. From ten to twenty, it high,
and thirty to fitly characterize storms from light to

has been struok upon in lowa, and it promises to be
