Helmbold, Druggists Dear Sir: I have been a sufferer for upwards ol twenty years with gravel, bladder, and kidney affec tions, during which time I have used various medicinal preparations, and been under the treatment of the most imlnett physicians, experiencing but little relljt. Having seen your preparations extensively adver tised, I consulted my family physician In regard to sing your Extract of Buchu ' 1 did this because I had used all kinds ot advertised emedica, and had tound them worthless, and some culte injurious; in tact, I despaired of ever getting well, and determined to use no remedies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients. As you advertised that it was composed of buchu, eubebi, aud jumper berries, M occurred to me and my physician as an excellent com brnation, and, with his advice, alter an examination ot the article, and consulting again with a druggist, I con cluded to try It I commenced Its use about eight nontbs ago, at which time I was confined to my room Trom the first bottle I was astonished and gratia ed at the beneficial effect, and after using It three weeks, was able to walk out. I felt much like writing you a full Statement of my case at that time, but thought mr Im provement might only be temporary, and therefore, concluded to deftr and see if It would effect a cure, knowing that It would be ot greatervalue to you and and more satisfactory to me. 1 AM VOW ABLB TO BBPOBT THAT A.

Is It A llOMICIDK ? Captain Reuben from Boston recently, inmi whlln on his return was said lo have been swept overboard. His vessel, Hip schooner Elba, arrived veslerdav In Camden. lourteen days from Boston. On the return trout his last passage he promised his family to abandon the sea. When the Elba reached Camden on her home ward cruipe, the crow reported that both Capta'n Adams and bis mato, John Fcnton, had been h vent overboard off Long Island. The crew are all roeroes. On the trip to Boston tboy quarrelled with the captain, and he placed the most refractory in Irorjs. It is suspected that in revenge for this treat ment tboy btruck htm (rum the deck Into the sea. 'I be captain, mate, and a nouro were on deck alone at mldnii'lit. and 1 ho latter, arousine- his messmaens, stated that tie boom, swinging from Its lashinir. struck the unfortunates over the "Mo of the schooner. The mate was from Great Egg Harbor. Tbo crew suffered severely with cold during the trip. Oub Riveb Fronts. The continued pressure of the prevailing; northwest wind has led to still further annoyances in our communication with our Aew York and Now Jorsey neighbors. Ibe early morning New York, 8 o'clock line .was aeain delayed, but only for about half an hour, the cause being an acoidont to the United States' Rights, lying almost aground in her dock at Camden, dis abling her ruddor in attempting to force a passage out. In consequence of her failure, the Company substituted the steamer Washington for the con veyance of the passengers of the 8 o'clock line, and thry wore comuolled to land at Federal street wharf, Camden, Instead of tho depot wharf. The Market street boats mado their usual winter time, about seven minutes, through the canal. ihe river is still much obstructed by floating ice, and was rarely lower than it is now the wind continuing to drive back and lessen the tides Tbo Sohay 1KI11 continues to be ice-bound from Fairmount dam to its mouth. Pedestrians crots it everywhere below the bridge, and the skating is, ot course, unusually fine, h Fatal Accident to a Well-Known Citizen .It is with sincere sorrow that we record the death of an old and well-known citizen, the result ol a 'ad acoidont this morning. Mr. Andrew Brodie, residing at No. lt'SO Franklin street, in at tempting to descend to tho cellar tor the purpose of attending to ibe heater, made a misstep and fell head-foremost to the bottom, thereby sustaining a severe concussion of the brain, from the effects ot which he died in two hours. The noise of bis fall brought the inmates of the house to his help, but all exertions to save his life proved useless. Mr. iirodlo was 64 years of ago, a married mm, and lor more than ten years past has been occupied as a successful contractor lor the paring and curbing- of the streets ol this city. Ilia very sad and sudden decease will be a source of deep sorrow to bis relatives aud among his very large circle of ac quaintances. Stealing Wash-Clothes. Near 10 o'c'ock last night the vard of a dwelling-house in Coates strop t. above Beach, was entered, and five ladies' dresses, aud other articles, were Volen from the clothes line, The goods were recovored bv urn- cer t lnher, of tho Bevonth District. A man, name unknown, went to the Station House and informed Lieutenant Franks that he knew whore the thiol' and the clothes could bu found. Officer Fisher went with the man to a tavern kept by a Mr. S ievlin, in Front sireet, betwvon Green aud Noblo, where the thiet was sitting down at a table playing cards. Instead ol pointinnr him out, the pretended in former took the officer about a square away irom the place oh a pretense of giving some directions tVhen they got back to the tavern the bird had flown. The clothes, however, were not taken, and were returned to the owner. EscArE of A Thief. About 0 o'clock last evening, as Officer s tree per was walking his beat, near Sixth and Market streets, be saw a prize ahead laden with a bundle of clothes. He hailed tho suspicious craft, when all sail was put on, the officer got a lull head of steam up and made chase, lint there is an old saying: that a "Storn chase is a iongclia e." In this case it was a fruitless one, in one sense, as the suspicious cruiser escanod, but the cargo consisting of three grey sack overcoats, was l icked up and taken to the Fourth District Fulico Station, where they wait the identification of the c wner, who can have t hem by applving to Lieuten ant Bower. Ihe goods are new, and have tho marks of the tailor uj on them. Selling It Too Cheap. Yesterday after noon an individual was making himself very popular in tho vicinity of Second and Cailowhi 1 lreots by selling good lump butter at about twenty-Are cents perpouid. He had liiB golden lumps In a dirty covered basket, and as he did not appear to be the owner of a cow or a dwelling amongst the um brageous shades, be was taken into custody by Oilicer Bareer. He was taken to the Station House, and gave the name of Joun Gray. At the hearing belore Alderman 1 oland, it was alleged that be had stolen twentv-six pounds of butter irom a farmer's waeon at Second and Pine streets. He was held in 8600 bail to answer the charge ol larceny. Tabbing Counterfeit Money. Mary McCarty and a lad named George Seagor, agod about eight years, were ariested this morning in the Callowlull Street Market, by Oihcor ityder, for attempting to pass counterfeit money. The boy carried the "spurious," and the lady, with one bill at a time, attorn tiled to stick the countrymen. How many Bhe passes It is impossible to toll, but when arrestea sue naa a counterieit one dollar bill on her person, and the lad when caught he having started off on a run when be saw the officer catch the woman had two fifty cent counter'eit currency notes. They were taken before Aldorman Hurley, who held them for a further hearing. Robbery. About 11 o'clock last evening, an entrance w as effected through the front door of Mr. Mackontire's segar store, No 43 South Eleventh street, and about 8300 worth of segars and smoking tobacco oarried off 'Ihe show-case was stripped of the moat valuable brands of imported Began. The thieves emptied them out ot the boxes which they left plied up on the floor. No clue baa as yot been obtained ol the perpetrators. The smoking tobacco taken was ot a peculiar brand, aud 11 offered for sa e in this city will lead to tho detection of tho rascals. Low Water in the Schuylkill. Duiing the paat day or two there has been an almost unprecedented low state of the water. Even the memory ot the ' oldest inhabitant" is taxeu in vain to remember a time when it was so low in titnAi nf nhl. Above the dam the water is eiarhteen I" inches lower than the top of the dam itsolf. No water, there lore, is going over It, and one or two of the water-whoels have been stopped from the same cause. A Coincidence. Two men, both Irish, were arrested at Twenty-first and Filbert, on a charge of suspicion of luroeny, about half-past 12 o'clock last night. They had a bearing before Alderman Joues, and both gave the name of I'atrick Brown. One ot them lived at Twenty first and Filbert, and the othor at Twenty-first aud Barker. They were held in 00 bail each, to an swer the charge brought against them. Slight Fire. A slight fire occurred at Chiistian Wagner's lager-beer saloon, No. 828 N. Ibiid street, this morning, about hall-past ten o'clock, occasioned by the flue setting lire to the wood work. Her Name.

Fbtterman. Philadelphia, January 14 1867. Gentlemen : In answer to your very kind note of the 7th instant, 1 am obliged to say, as I have said in answer to numerous inquiries of the same sort, that my pur pose has long been unalterably fixed to retire irom the bench at the close of my constitutional term, in December next I do therefore most respectfully, but definitely, decline a renomination, and 1 1 ish to be so understood by all tho deputies to the nomina ting convention. 1 have been deenlv Impressed bv the generality of the desire that I should remain upon the bench. For a year past I have been In receipt of such com munications on the subject, from every part of the fetate and from all classes of citizens, as to leave no ooubt, or room for doubt, that the Deinocra'ic people universally wish for my re-election, and that many Republican lawyers would cheorlully consent to it. I allude to this fact, not merely to expreesfmy gratitude for the publio confidence which it implies, but alro to say that it has put mo upon a serious review ot the grounds oi my declination. Not mean ing to state all the reasons that have led to mv reso lution, it is due to gentlemen who address me as you have done that 1 should remind you that thirty yeais ago I maintained, in the Reform Convention, that fifteen vtars were in goneral a sufficiently long tenure for Judges ot the Supreme Court; that fifteen years ago, when I took the oiliee, 1 declared against a renew al of the term: that this declaration has been repeated as often as I have had occasion to speak upon the subject ; and that two years since I re moved my residence from this city to WYikesbarro, in antic. potion of the expiration of my term a change oi residence which would not have been mado if any thought ot re-election had been eutcr tained. Having advocated the substitution of the limited for the lite tenure, I was unwilling to take any per sonal advantage irom it, and therciore peremptorily declined a nomination in 1851, which would have displaced one ol the e incumbents, and the vacancy n Inch I enme on the bench to fill m 18o2 was occa sioned, not by the con-titutional limitation, but by the elc ath of Juue Coulter. But now, ueiur the first Judge who hs completed the term of fifteen years under the umcuued Co. sU.utioii, it seems to me to be my duty, in accordance with tho sentiment of!887, to retiie to give place to a fresh recruit. I know it is common to sav, that as the oflice is a difficult and respoi Bible, one, a iiiuu with filteou years of experience in it is better qualified to exe cute it than a man taken from the Common Pleas oi trom tho ranks ol the profession ; but an observa tion of many years has led me to think that the publio loses more by the infirmities oi advancing age, and the perfunctory routine into which judges luM, than is gained by long experience. Men are not ordinarily placed upon this bench until they have attained mature life, and have had considerable experience in the profession of la r. A mere novice would, indeed, be greatly out of place in a court of so large and diversified jurisd.otiou. But when a man, past middle lite, has served fifteen years, it seems to me he ought to hesitate about assuming so onerous duties for Ultcen years more. The question of the renewal of the loose ought to be considered, not so much in respect to present quali fications, as to continued competency. If his lucul ties tail not, the tendency of long contintmnoe in oflloe is to careless habits ot study and business If thore is any virtue In the limited tenure, I am under peculiar obligations to give the people the benefit of it, and whatever others may do, it is espe cially my duty to guard the publio against the evils which it was inteoded to,reiuedy. My declluatiou, tli ere I ore, is final. Rcnewiug my thanks for your too kind estimate of my public services, 1 am, gentlemen, with great regard, your obedient servant, . t, , , Ukoro" W.

A man named John Ackerman, living on Rigby Mreet, between Prospect and Garden streots, took "enio on Saturday last, and died the same evening. . . w 6 Plion oommeuoed taking eft'eot, his lauuly became alarmed and summoned a physiciun, but it was too late, and it was impossible to save his lite. Financial trouble is supposed to be the cause of bis lean ul act. He had purchased some property in the city, and being unable to meet his payments when they became due, he fell into a atateot morbid melancholy, which at length amounted almost to Insanity. He was not thought to be entirely in his right mind lor some time previous to his death, but no one bad any suspicion that he bad in contem plation the taking of his life. No inquest was -retarded necessary, as he sUted before bis death that he had taken poison. He had bo wife living, but leaves several children. He was some forty-five or fifty years of age. His funeral was held on Monday. Cleveland Leader, January 17.

We ad-vii-e the opposition ot the determined and fixed fact that Andrew Johnson will serve out his constitutional term of oflice." The National Banks. The Comptroller of the Cuirency ha received about fifteen hundred quarterly repotta of Na tional Banks for the quarter ending the 7th instant. An examination of them shows that the banks generally are in a remarkably good condition. Almost every dollar of available funds is loaned upou the best of paper, and this though the deposits are extremely large. About halt of the banks have declared semi annual dividends of rive, six, eight, teu, and some as high as fifteen per cent., besides earning from ten to twenty per cent, ol net firufiMo their surplus fund. In recard to the awful money reserve of the national banks, the amount now he'd is sutticient, with very few exceptions, allowing them the privilege hereto fore extended of holding compound interest nole9 as a leserve for all purposes, circulation, as well as deposits; but, serious objec tions aiisiurr to the holding of compound inte rest notes lor circulation, besides the absolute prohibition contained in the law authorizing the issue oi such uotce.tbe Comptroller has called i he attention of the banks to the necessity of keep lug leiral-'.enders on hand to protect their circula tion, and Is requiring a strict compliance with the law in this tespeci. Another noticeable fact In connection with this subject is that the banks are holding a largely increased amount of specie as compared with that reported before. This is no doubt owing to the fact that as the temptation of high premiums on gold is not so great as for merly, the coin Interest on bonds is retained instead of being immediately sold. The old circulation in most of the States, wh eh vas assumed by the national banks on their conversion from the State system, is now reduced to a very small amount, and a larce portion ot that now outstanding is pro bably lost, or in some manner destroyed, so that it bliould not be considered as outstanding cir culation. This is is a fact worthy of the con- Bioeration ot bankers and business men gene rally, especially when it is stated thnt not more than a year ago the outstanding State circula tion which was subject to redemption by the national banks exceeded $30,000,000. Highly Interesting Letter from Koine, From the Catholic Mirror, We are permitted to publish the following let ter from Rome, adJresed to our Most Uev. Archbishop by Bishop Lamy, bearer of olDcial documents ot the Council: Rome, December 18. 1866,Most Rev. Dear Archbishop: The night before last I reached Rome, and, thank God, I had a happy voyage. I expect to have an audience of the Holy Father to-morrow, and to deliver to him the documents of the Council of Baltimore, of which I had the honor to be the bearer. In my next letter, I hope to be able to give you all the information regarding the result of the various acts of tho Council. My first visit yesteiday morning was to his Eminence Cardi nal Barnabo, who received me with hid usual cordiality, and remarked that the documents I brought had been arxiously expected. And had not the ceremony of a beatification of a Capuchin occurred to-day, I would have had au audience already. . Cardinal Barnabo had the kindness to intorin me of the church and the hour when the ceremony took pluce, and I hap pily arrived In time, uotonlv to witness the cere mony, but also to see the Holy Kather, to heir distinctly and understand the Allocution which he spoke in Italian, and to be admitted al the kiting of his feet. In the very apt of receiving a ui&iiuif, muuuu i waa m t uiati uv pock. "Arc you not a bishop?" said the Holy Father to me, smiling. Having answered iu the affirmative, and giving the name of my diueee, his Holincfs added: "I received your tele i : .1. ,t i. , ,i 1 1 rt V,l..l, graphic despatch from the toitv-seveu Arch- ! bit-hops and Bishops of tho United States, and I hope you bring the documents or rue council." You see, Most Rev. Archbishop, thut I was extieivcly fortunate on my arrival in Rome. The Holy Father looks well, and in hia Allocu tion he was so cheerlul that he made us all lav.gh at a pleasant remaik ne made respecting the blessed Capuchin, whom he declared beati fied. ... I took up my quarters at the American col lege, having gratefully accepted the kind invi tation of Fittherl McCloBkcy, who accompanied me across the Atlantic. There are about 401)0 Pontifical Zouaves in Botne; but the frontiers are unprotected. Humanly speaking, nothing but a miracle can secure the continuance ol the Holy Father in the Eternal City. We 6hould earnestly pray for the Vicar of Christ on earth, the visible Head ot the Church, and often repeat with the Royal Prophet: Eiurqea' Deus, et drssipentur inimici ejus. "Let God arise, and let Ilia encinie3 be fcaitered." Please to remember me to the clergy of your horse. Believe mo your ever devoted friend and brother m Christ, John B. Lamy, Bishop of 8auta Fe. The Late Massacre at Fort Phil. Kearney. From a private letter received in this city by a gentleman from an oilicer at Fort Phil. Kear ney, dated Decembrr 15, 18tiG (six days prior to the massacre), we gain the following infor mation: About the 10th ot December, a wagon train weut to the mountains about five miles from the fort, for the purpose of procurlug timber and luel. On their return they were attacked by a body ol Indians, numbering about three hundred. A guard stationed on a hill some distance off iinrhediutely signalled to tbo fort, fcnd a body of mounted Infantry and cavalry, about forty-four in number, were font out under Colonel Carrington, to relieve the train. About thirty ot the party under Captain Fettermun went In one direction, and fourteen uuder Colonel CarrinRton in another. The larger parly first came upon the Indians, and a fight ensued, which was continued for a distance of eight miles. The Indians were whipped finally, and routed, though not until Lieutenant Biuir ham had been kille and scalped, and several wotiuded. Another party, under Lieutenant Dtumruond, with elubt or ten men, were sur rounded by ttie Indians, and the little party were compelled to cut thrtr way out, in which Sergeant Boweu was killed. A number of Indians were killed and wounded during tho fight. On the morning of the 15th of December the Indians again attacked a wood train, but were soon repulsed. No other outbreak ha been reported until the afternoon of the 21st of December, when the terrible massacre took flace, the whole of tho command uuder Cptiu 'cttcrmaji being slaughtered.
