LEHIGH Coal AND Navigation Com
pany.—Yesterday morning, the annual mfeeting of
the stockholders of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation
Company was held at the r.oom of the Board of
Trade. The attendance was quite large, ami much
interest was manifested in the proceedings, Caleb
Cope, Esq., presided, and Mr. Edwin Waiter acted
as secretary. '
The annual report was read, reviewing the opera
tions of the company, and giving a comprehensive
summary of the past-year’s business. It specially
alludes to the loss sustained by the company on the
4th of June by the great flood which thea prevailed.
It was stated that the cost for repairs thereby ren
dered necessary amounted to $600,000. The report
congratulates the stockholders on the prospect of an
early’ recovery from this severV loss. A railway
which has been authorized to be built, and the re
pairing to the canal will call for an expenditure of
about a half a million of dollars.
The committee appointed at the last annual meet
jpg', to consider the propriety of converting the
scrip of the company into shares, presented a majo
rity and aminority report: the first favoring the
project, and the latter opposing it.
A written opinion of Hon. William M, Meredith,
counsel for the company, was also presented, against
the legality of the proposed conversion of the scrip
into Block.
After considerable discussion, the following reso
lution offered by Mr. "Lewis ElUin, anil seconded by
Mr. John'A. Brown, was unanimously adopted:
. Resolved, That the stockholders of the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation Company meet, at this place
(Board of Trade Booms), this day week, between
the hours often and twelve, for the purpose of
taking a stock vote on the adoption of the resolu
tion presented by the majority of the scrip commit
tee, this .day, and that the Board of Managers be
requested to publish the report and the accompany
ing resolution.
The meeting then adjourned.
Monument Cemetery.— The Board of
Managers of the Monument Cemetery have present

The managers of the cemetery, in-view of the dis
tracted condition of the country,/and of the large
number of our citizens who are engaged in the fierce
civil war now raging, deemed it proper and advisa
ble to set apart- a portion of the grounds of the ceme
tery, for the-purpose of giviDg decent sepulture to

Hakdsome Pkesbst eok Brig. "Gen.
-Patiuok.—The members of .the 20th New York
State Militia, and the2lst ? 23d, and 35th New York
Volunteers, forming the brigade under the command
of Brig. Gen. M. R. Patrick, have ordered a hand
some service of Bilver, intended as a present to their
commanding officer. The order came from the
brigade while encamped at Acquia Creek, and the
duty of selecting the present was entrusted to Mr.
E. T.; Sees, of this city. The time of the men ex
pired yesterday«jind it is intended that the presen
tation shall take'pinoo.at.Acquia Creek. The plate
has been gotten up with great care and attention by
Wm; Wilson & Son, southwest corner of Fifth and
Cherry streets. It consists of a waiter, urn, water pot, ’
. tea pot, sugar dish, slop bowl, lined with gold, cream
pot, and tea bell, all enclosed in a neat rosewood
case. Upon the waiter is inscribed, “Presented to
Gen. M.lfc. Patrick by his old brigade, 20th N. Y. S.
IVL, 21st, 23<1, and 35th N. Y. S. Vols. May, 1863.”
Bach piece bears an an .appropriate inscription, is
handsomely and delicately engraved, and bears upon
It some military design—the design on no two being
similar. This service of Bilver is one of the finest
ever gotten up in this city, and calls forth loud
praise from the many friends of Gen. Patrick who
have called to see it. The cost of the whole set is
#1,200, and it will, no doubt, far exceed the expecta
tions of the brave boys under whose auspices it was
gotten up. A committee of gentlemen were to leave
lor Acquia Creek last evening, for the purpose of
conveying the present down, and superintending the
presentation.
A Timid \jsit of Ladies to the
Woumbkd ik Vieoikia.—Three ladies, as a com
mittee from “The Ladies’ Association for Soldiers’
Belief,” of this city, contemplate to make a third
visit to the front of the Army of the Potomac, with
a view to ameliorate the condition of bur sick and
wounded soldiers. The committee of ladies propose
to leave Philadelphia on their arduous journey so
Boon as practicable. Their personal and soothin*
attentions to the sufferers will be appreciated by
the brave patriots who are sacrificing themselves on
the altar of their country. The ladies may, Derhans.
remain on the field of battle for a week or two,
cording to circumstances, and hope to be enabled to
proceed on to Bichmond.
Donations of money and suitable articles are re
spectfully solicited from a generous public, and
especially from the numerous, ladies’ aid societies,
who facilitated them on the occasion of their two
former visits to Virginia, and who are invited to
call for further information, at the office of the
Ladies’Association, No. 135 South Fifth street.
To prevent mistakes, contributions can be limited
‘to be sent only to Mrs. Mary A. Brady, president,
No. 406 South Forty-first.street} Mrs. M. A. Dob
bins, treasurer, 1801 Mount Yernon street; Mrs. R.
L. Sampson, 1814 Arch street, or to any of the
ganagerß of the Ladies’ Association, care of Edward
Brady, attorney at law, the honorary secretary, No.
330 South Fifth street.
German High School.— A school asso
ciation has lately been formed by the Germans of
this city, under the name of “ Real-Schul-Verein,”
.such name being applied in the old Fatherland to
schools designated for the instruction of pupils in
modern languages, and in the exact and natural
sciences. They propose nothing ie ß s than an insti
tute similar to our High School, preparing the
pupils for practical and business life, as well as for
the pursuance of their studies at our colleges and
polytechnic institutes. As the English language
will have a decided preference, due allowance'being
made to the cultivation of the German language ana
literature, and as the majority of objectß taught will
be treated in the English language, the new ineti
.•lute is worthy of encouragement. The school is
Already in operation, at Nos. 148 and 160 North
Sixth street, Professor L. G. Franck, of the Poly
technic Institute, being president of the association,
.and Professor F. Wuertn principal.

How the Rebels ake Duped. — A cer
tain kind of fine sheeting, made in New England, by
the Lonßdale Works, was very popular and exten
sively patronized by the Southern merchants before
the rebellion, but since the war broke out they have
been unable to procure them. Among the merchan
dize captured on board the British prize steamers oft'
Charleston, trying to run the blockade, and brought
to this port to be sold, was found a lot of goods made
by the English manufacturers in exact imitation of‘
the Lonsdale article, and bearing a label which is a
perfect counterfeit of the New England label, except
that for Lonsdale is substituted the word Lansdale.
Of course no such works exist In England, and the
goods are merely to be palmed off as the American
make upon a people at the South who have been for
two years past swearingthat they would never wear
Yankee goods, if they could fget other. It seems
that even their English friends are obliged to coun
terfeit the Yankee labels before they can get them
to buy English sheetings.
The Wae News, and how it was Re-
Ceived.— The good news received during yesterday
from the Army of the Potomac, threw the city into
a high state of excitement. Crowds flocked around
the various newspaper offices, and every scrap of
news was read and reread by those collected about
the various bulletin-boards. “ Extras ” were in de
mand, and the newsboys reaped quite a harvest.
Flag* were thrown to the breeze in all parts of the
city, both from public and private buildings. The
good newß was made the subject of discussion up to
a late hour last night.
"We understand that, at a meeting of
the. hoard of trustees of the University of Pennsyl
vania, held last evening, Dr. Gurney Smith was
elected professor of the institutes of medicine, and
Dr. R. A. P. Penrose professor of obstetrics and the
Oipcases of women and children. These appoint-'
ments are to fill the vacancies respectively caused
by the resignation of Drs. Jackson and‘Hodge.
They will prove highly acceptable to the numerous
friends of this institution, both gentlemen being
well and widely known as teachers of their special
branches. • 1
Pastoeal Call.—Rev. Richard Eddy,
late a chaplain in the army, has accepted a call to
the First Universalist Church, Lombard street,
above Fourth. He will be installed on the last Sun
day of the present month, and will preach his first
sermon, on the following Sunday. Rev. Abel O.
Thomas, the present 'pastor of the church, retires
from the pulpit in consequence of declining health.
He has been connected with thiß church for a number
of years.
Sale of Wines.—The auction sale of
wines, announced to take place yesterday morning,
at-Patterson’s bonded warehouse, was mostly post
poned on account of the slim attendance and the low
bidß itffercd. -The whole sale comprised 436case3
and baskets French wines, on importers’ account.
The only lots disposed of were five baskets red Bur
gundy Chambertin', 12 quarts each, at $7 per basket;
5 cases sparkling Burgundy;'2j pints .aaah, at $11.60.
-per-case, and 5 cases Chateau D’lssan, 12 quarts
each, at $6 60 per case.
. Election.— : Tlie annual meeting of the
Musical Fund Society was Jield last evening, at the

tors for the ensuing year: Francis Gurnev Smith,
Franklin Peale, Francis. Cooper, Pierce Butler, IVT.
IV. Baldwin, Carl H, O. Sentz, J. Da Costa, M. D.,

Appointment of Assessors.—ln com
pliance with a special act of Assembly, creating two
additional assessors for the Twentieth ward, the
City Commissioners yesterday appointed Robert H.
Clinton and Andrew W. McClaslty. The former is
a Republican, and the latter a Democrat. Their
duties will be comprised in that portion of the ward
lying west of Broad street.
Multum in Panto.—Tlie speech re
cently delivered by Hon. .T. E. Inp-ersoll, at the
Union League rooms, has been copied by Professor
Davidsop, in his peculiar calligraphic style, covering
about the one-twentieth'part of an ordinary sheet
of paper. The speech itself filled over half a column
of The Tress.
Pucoioted.— We learn that Segt. Major
James .T. McMenamin, of the 2d Delaware Regi
merit, has lately been promoted to be lieutenant of
Co. G. The promotion was in recognition of fidelity
to duty and bravery in action.
The Steamship Peoject.—The hill to
establish a line of ocean steamers between this port
and Europe, which has passed both branches of
Councils has not yet been signed by the Mayor, nor
is it probable that it will.

A MKMIIFJL OF THE OHUER SPEAKS.
Michael Groa sworn.—Hive in Marion township. Berks
couniy; I heard Huber speak. [Here witness said he
would rather speak in German, as he could tell better
wliat Huber said ]. When duher came there to speak, I
and two others called nira out before. the meeting was
organized, and we asked him some questions; I don’t
know what they said, but I do know what I said; I
asked him if one of the other party could go in, as I had
understood that the members of only one political party
could go in; he replied that all who; had no negro on
their backs CouJd join : I wanted to put more questions to
him, biu he said he would tell all that was necessary
when he got into the house; he addressed the people, and
said this is a Democratic meeting to support the Union
and the old Constitution, aud the thirty-four States, and
all the Territories as they were; he said the confiscation
hill, the conscription act, and the emancipation act,
were unconriitutional, and the way the Government was
qwrird on was also unconstitutional,‘and we ought not
support it; he said a great many other things in opposi
tion to Mr. Lincoln and his Cabinet, and called them
Abolitionists; the object of the meeting was to put down
secession and abolition without arms; he continued on
to abuse Mr. Lincoln and the Cabinet as much as he
could; that Lincoln and Jeff Davis would never settle
the war, and it would have to be done by the common peo
ple, because enough were already killed; then Mr. Haber
stated all shout the negro, how he originated, and that
God Almighty had pronounced a curse upon the negroes,
and that Abraham Lincoln wanted to put himself above
God by removing the curse; this was mo re power than the
Frefident had; he (Mr. Huber) said more of such things,
but I can’t remember all; after the speech, names of par
ties who w hd ted to go into secret meeting were put down
and the money paid; the secret meetiug was then held.
•Mr. Coffey. • Did you join the secret meeting?
witness (promptly). Yes, sir, I did.

Witm ss (hesitatingly). If you will take the responsi
bility off 1 will tell all I know.
Mr. Coffey. You are sworn here to tell the truth, the
wholelrnti, and nothing but the truth; there is no re
sponsibility, only th it which you owe to your God and
your country.
Witness. . Well, I don’t know.that' the Government
can hold me, because I have withdrawn my name from
the society.:
Mr. Coffey.. Did you take an oath in the secret meet
ing ?
west Of
Witness.' 1 Wc all took an oath. i
Hr. Coffey. Tell all you know. What took plate
ihere?
Witness. If you don’t take the responsibility off me I
don’t know that I shall do it. [Here Huber laughed
aud whispered something to his counsel, Mr. .T. P. O’NeilL]
I’ll tell you as much as I think was against the Govern
ment.
J. GJancy Jones,* counsel for defence. No. If you tell
anythingyou must tell what von know and not what you
tliink.
Mr. Coffey. State all you know.
Witness. I don’t think I can do that. [Huber
laughed. T ?;
Mr. Coffey. .You are bound under your oath here to do
that unless you think it will criminate yourself. When
a man is sworn it is his duty to tell the whole truth, all
he knows.< When a man is brought into a court of
justice and sworn, it is his duty to the G overnment to tell
all he knows about the matter. The Government is en
titled to your evidence.
Witness. 1 know that. Mr. Huber said if any member
told anything of the secret proceedings, or if he ever
published anything about them, why he would have to
look out for himself
Mr. Coffey. If they undertake that, they will soon find
out who is the strongest.
Witness. Another thing the members of the society
told me yesterday.
Mr. Jones (interruptingly). Never mind-what yon
were told; you are only to tell what you saw and heard
at the meeting. . .
Mr. Coffey, lie was approached with threats.
Witness. Before I came from Salsbury yesterday, the
members told—
Mr. Jones. Never mind.
Mr. Coffey. Tell who threatened you/ : •
-Witness. Yesterday, when I was leaving for the cars,
Hepry Finer metme and said he would not like to be in
mlplacein Philadelphia? I asked him why? and he
‘there are rowdies there, and I would be in dan
‘ gerof my life,” I told him that I would support the
■Unton and the Constitution in Philadelphia as well as
at homeland now I see some of my neighbors here; if
any Of them, or anybody, has anything against merlet
them come aud sjpeak now.
(At this stage of the proceedings Huber seemed to be
rather ill at ease. He twitched as though he had the first
- spadmodic attack of St, Vitus’ dance. It soon passed off,
however.)
llr.Coffey., Yon are safe here. There are agood many
rowdies now being whipped in another section of the
country, and they’ll be whipped here if they show them
selves.
Witness. Well, I don’t know.
Mr.. Coffey. I want-yon'to tellme what was done in
the barn..
Witness/ I don’t think I can tell you half, for I can’t
recollect all. -
Ml Coffey. What was the first thing done ?
Witness. We were first arranged in a circle; Mr. Hu
ber was in the middle.
Mi - . Coffey. Oh, tell me first, were there any persons
stationed outside?
Witness. Well, I was it side, and can’t tell; when I
went in it was raining; I had an umbrella; one of the
members asked me for it. as he had to go outside; I- lent
it to him and he went'outside; and that is all 1 know
about him.
Mr. Coffey Well, sir, state what took "place inside;
now many were there?
Witness. There were S 3 new members, besides the old
ones. Mr. Huber presided.
Mr. Coffey. Was there an oath taken?
witness. Of course there was.
. Mr.Cofffy. State whit it was.\.
Witness. I don’t think it will be of any use to you.
Mr. Jones, If it will be of any use to us let us have it.
Witness. Well, if you want it, and Mr. Huber says
so. I will give it.
Mr. Coffey. How did you take the oath ?
- Witness. We lifted npour tight hand; then Mr. Hu
ber stated the oath, and we all responded Yes. ”
Mr. Coffey. Now tell me what he said. -
Here tbeTvitness hesitated. *
Mr. Coffey. Will it criminate you ?
Witness. The oath was to be kept secret.*
. Mr. Coffey. What you tooiothere jwas not an oath.
Mr. “’’her had no light toadmininister it, and you may
tell ic here.
Mr. Jones. It is with him a matter of conscience."
- Witness. If I tell it lam in danger, and my property
might beburnt. >,
The witness was questioned at considerable length.
He hesitated. His position was thal of one desiring to
bring the conspirators to judgment, but was afraid his
life and property might he destroyed. . Finally, after
considerable efior. s and consumption of time, he eaid he
would give the oath, as near as he could remember;
“ ro» do swear to oppose the conscription act, the
emancipation act , and confiscation,so help you Sod r"
After we all took this oath, Mr. Huber said we must
keepit a secret; as far as I can now remember,* this is
about all of the oath.
Mr. Coffey. After the oath was taken, what was the
next thing acne ? Htfve they any signs or passwords ?
Witness (reluctantly). Every secret society has signs
and passwords,
■•-" Sir. Coffey. Will you tell me what signs and pass
words were used here ?
Witness (looking as it he was afraid of Huber). Well,.
I don’t remember more than two or three.
Mr. Coffey- Tell us the sign of recognition; that is,,
what dors a member do, to reeognize another?
[Bere the witness pointed with the index finger of his
right hand towards the floor, with his arm extended a
little forward of the body. ] #
• Mr. Coffey.’ Well, now,sir;*o far, so good. What
other signs are used? v,, ~
Witness (musing - for-a moment). The hat is to he
raised up and down three times. • .
Mr. Coffey. Did Mr. Huber explain this sign?
Witness. He said the society, extended in the army,
and when members met each other they could make this
sign, and one would not shoot the other.

AUCJUMEXT.
Mr.- District Attorney Coffey how arose aiid said that
be would have to ask for a further continuance of the
hearing, an he desired to have the evidence of two im
portant wi nesses, who are sick, aad unable to leave their
honifip. Be had many other witnesses present, bat he
did not think it necessary to take up any more time in
examining them, as he thought he had already famished
enough to convict all the defendants except two in the
conspiracy.
Mr, J. Glancy Jones said thU so far there was no evi
dence against either SidaLor Mootbart, and he asked that
they be discharged What does the District Attorney
tay ?
Mr Coffey The District .Attorney savs that he intends
to produceevidence connecting them witii tho society. .
Mr. Jones suggested that iu all the evidence so far as'
elicited there has i?een none that the defendants had
conspired against the Government. The forco spoken of
was merely to put down,the Abolitionists, therefore there
can he no violation of the act of Congress of 1851, relative
to a conspiracy to resist or attempt to overthrow the
Government by force. Th* ouly overthrow that could be
tolerated'by the people of Berks county was through the
nalloL-box. He did not wish to ibrow any obstacle in
the way of the District Attorney, bnt he suggested that
_ he had prelty well probca the subject, eo far as concerns
the organization of the society. He hardly snpoo3Bd
that he desirpd any more evidence oa this point He felt
free to say\that the people of Berks county, however
mucii they ruay oppose any law as objectiouaV.e, yet
they woiud rather they should prevail than the Union be
dissolved. Be felt free to say that his miud was perfect
ly clear that there was "no resistance contemplated by
the people of Berks county. Thin is an ew&drte hearing,
and. without offering an5 r evidence now, h 9 would ap
peal to. the Distiicf Attorney, to say whether his mind
was dear that there, was'-really a conspiracy such as
contemplatPd.underthf act of 1861.
Mr. O'jSeili spoke in behalf of his client, Mr. Huber,
who has been'in prison since the last hearing. Siuce
that tune his property has been seized by the sheriff
and his business broken up by his continuing in prison,
what is there really against him? Remember thatitis
in evidence that he would wish to be hung at the mill
rather than do anything against the Government. If
the same clemency is shown to him*aswith the other
defendants, why he would be better satisfied, and he
would have no objection in Jetting the case go over for
another hearing. As there seems to be nothing but a
question 'of Jaw involved in this case let us argue it to
morrow; we have the secrets exposed, we nave the
oath, and remember the first thing sworn to, as the wit
ness said when I asked him, was to support the Union
and the Constitution.
_Mr. Coffey, intorrnptingly. Oh. yes; so did Jefferson
Davis swear to support the - same, while he was basely
plotting treason against the Government. These very
men were plotting together to resist a law that
Judge Cadwalader, of this very court, says is constitu
tional Besides this, an attempt is made to make a now
issue hore since the first hearing. An attempt has been
made to give it a party aspect Yes, sir, while the case
was progressing calmly and legally before the United
States Commissioner, a public political meeting or con
vention is held iu Berks county, at which resolutions
wer'e framed fulminating the dangerous doctrine of the
sworn, secret band of conspirators—a society pernicious .
in all respects, dangerous to the liberty of the people of
Berks count?, wrong in:its every aspect, because of
what its members are determined to do. He desired to
doliis duty.calmly, and with dignity and firmness.
After a few further remarks, the ; iine for the next
hearing was fixed for Tuesday, June the 2d, at noon.
The case thus closed for the present.
[Before Mr. Alderman White.]
Stolen Child Found-Mistaken Identity.
Ann M. Neal, who resides on Bedford street, was ar
raigned yesterday morning on the charge of stealing the
child of Mrs. Ferguson, the wife of Police Officer Fer
guson, .as mentioned tn The Press yesterday.
The little boy from whom the child was taken by the
woman in Independence Square, identified the defendant
as the person who did it.
Several other witnesses'were examined, on|?6f-them a
woman. She testified that on visiting the houjapn Mon
day afternoon, where the defendant liyedy she ob
served a babe sleeping on a settee. It certainly was
not toe child of the defendant. The accused stout
ly denied the. charge preferred against her- She did
not readily account by legal evidence for the possession
of-the child that one of the witnesses testified having
seen asleep on the settee. The alderman suggested that
the evidence was rather against: her, and that she had
better tell what had become of the infant. He pictured
in glowing terms the anguish of the mother; how her
maternal bosom must be more than anguished be-’ause
of the dreadful suspense; but all to no effect Still she
denied the eharge, and said that, no matter what became
oj her, she was innocent; she never s'tole the child.
“Nell,”replied th» alderman, “ I shall have to re
quite yon to enter bail in the sum of $l,OOO to awaita
furlher hearing. ” ,v v -
“ I am innocent, alderman; lean assure you; hut no
matter, I would rather suffer as such than be guilty. ” x
*iThe little boy testified positively that-' you took the
chi SI from him, ” said the alderman.
“1 know he did,” replied the prisoner, "bathe did
not recognize me when he first saw me, before you
came; he is mistaken. ”
7he defendant was committed to prison in default of
bail,
•Within a few hours after the above took place, the
stolen child was found at the almshouse. Upon making
inquiry as to how it got there, it seems that a lunatic
woman had escaped from that institution, andiu her
wanderings reached Independence square. She appeared
to he perfectly sane. She*got the little boy whohadthe
child to go and get her a. Ledger , she giving him a cent
to make the purchase. She held the babe for him until
he should return. When he got back the woman had
disappeared with the infant. Its discovery being made
known to the magistrate, he arose hastily from an un
finished dinner, and lost no time in malting out a dis
charge for Mrs. Neal.

Not a. few of the worst disorders that afflict mankind

Of all the discoveries that have been made to purge
it out, noneTcan equal in effect HELMBOLD’S
COMPOUNDEXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA. It cleans
es and renovates the blood, instils the vigor of health
into the system,,and purges out the humors which make
disease. It stimulates the healthy functions of the
body, and expels the disorders that grow and rankle in
the blood. Its. extraordinary virtues are not yet widely
known, but when they are, it will'no longer be a ques

Which they can depend.,, Our space here does not admit

anything they have ever taken.

DANGEROUS DISEASES.
A YER’S PILLS.—ABE YOU SICK,
FEEBLE, AND COMPLAINING?.Are you out of
order, with your system deranged and your feelings un
comfortable? These symptoms , are often the prelude to
serious illness. Some fit of sickness is creeping upon
you, and should be averted by a timely use of the right
remedy. Take AYER’S PILLS, and cleanse out the dis
ordered humors—purify the blood, and let the fluids
move on unobstructed in health again. They stimulate
tbe functions of the body into vigorous activity, purify
the system from the obstructions which make disease.
A cold settles somewhere in the body, and obstructs its
natural functions. These, if not relieved, react upon
themselves and the surrounding organs, producing gena
ral agsravation, suffering, and disease. While m this
condition, oppressed by the derangements, tau e AYER’S
PILLS, and see how directly they restore the natural
action of tbe system, and with it the buoyant feeling of
health again. What is true and so appirent in this tri
vial and common complaint, is also true in many of the
deep-sealed and dangerous distempers. The same pur
gative.effect expels them. Caused by similar obstruc
tions and derangements of the natural functions of the
body, they are rapidly and many of them surely, cured
by tbe same means.. None who know the virtues of
these Pills will neglect to employ them when suffering
from the disorders they cure, such as Headache, Foul
Stomach, Dysentery. Bilious Complaints, Indigestion,
Derangement of the Liver, Costivensss, or Constipation..
As a Dinner Pill they are both agreeable and effectual.

Tnedifference between fact and fiction, of permanently
cuntgthe sick and suffering of their diseases or adver
tising to cure, and showing but little or no evidence
cures, can be well appreciated bv the anxious iEnquirers
after health, upon attentively reading the following
synopsis Of certificates-from some of the most reliable
gentlemen in Philadelphia, who were permanently
cured by Prof. BoJles, 1220 WALNUT Street, and after
they had been;given up as incurable by the most emi
nent medical men of this city;
AROrHAR REMARKABLE CURE.
Philadelphia, March 31st, 1863.
For the past three or four years my health has been
gradually running down, and I for some time could not
understand the cause of it At first I was not much
alarmed, but, as time wore on, my sufferings kept
Betting worse. I began to Idse flesh, my natural color
left me. and mv, appetite became very irregular. I ap
plied to several physicians, but they did not seem to
understand my disease, for I kept growing worse. I
was troubled with palpitation of the hear!, difficulty of
breathing, oftentimes trembliag of the limbs, soreness
in my throat, loss of memory, and great aversion to
business and to society. At limes, I was very gloomy.
an ii ■*■ caused me to feel worse was my inability to
collect, iny thoughts vigorously on any subjects suffered
much from swimming in the head, and much from fears
ol getting insane, for my physicians had told me that I
had symptoms of fits; but, after persevering for a long
time in the old school remedies, and in the homoeopathic
also, 1 was informed my case was beyond cure
. Seeing the advertisement of Prow. Bo Lies A* Galloway
in The Press and Bulletin* I called on them at 1220 Wal
nut street, and, after conversing with them a few mi
nutes, they told me that they could cure me, ami that
without throwing poisonous drugs into my system. This
to me was rather astonishing; *tiU I believed it, foi'T
had known some persona they bad cured, who had bean
worse than even I was. I comifienced their treatment,
which is perfectly pleasant, and I am happy to say that,
in nine treatments of about ten minutes each, I was per-
Jectly cured. This is astonishing.to me, for I had given
II P hopts of being cured and of ha ving my mind re
stored. In answer to my convictions of duty to my suf
fering fellow-men, I have made this statement ot facts
in relation to my own wonderful cure; and I know it is
permanent. lor sufficient time has elapsed for a return;
therefore L feel certain. I shall take pleasure ia being
referred to by any person or persons who rnav be suffer
lugaslwas. CHARLES E. BUCKINGHAM,

TRUTH IS MIGHTY AND WILL PREVAIL.
Pkof. Bolles— Dear Sir: As you have frequently re
quested me io give you my opinion of the therapeutic
effects of Electricity, when applied according to your dis
covery of its physiological relations to the human sys
tem, in producing and curing disease; and this being
the first favorable opportunity, I will giye you a brief
statement of my success since I closed my instructions
with you, and also my faith in it as a remedial agent,
for the cure of all curable diseases At every step as I
have proceeded in the practice, my astonishment has
been increased when witnessing its power in controlling
and .curing all forms of disease. I can hardly say to
what: class of disea-es Electricity is best adapted—but
think it adapted to all—but its power over Paralysis,
Consumption, Rheumatism, Acute or Chronic Neuralgia,
Bronchitis. Catarrh, Asthma, Amaurosis, Erysipelas,
St. Vitus DHuce, all Female Diseases, and all derange
ments of the nervous system. The above diseases having
been treated by me since I took instruction from you. a#
also many others; therefore I speak positively of its
power to control without any medicine being given ac
c?il i Allopathy or Homeopathy—cures ten to one of
all that other systems claim to core.
