I PREPARED BY DR. 6ANFOBD, COMPOUNDED ENTIRELY FROM GUMS, le one of the best Purgative and Liver.Madlcineanow be fore the public, that acts «a a Cathartic, eaaier, mnder and mote dfectoal than anyother medicine known. Itisnot only a Cathartic, hnt a iicer remedy, acting first on the Liver to qject its morbid matter, then on tiro stomach and bowels to carry off thatmattor, thus accomplishing two purposes effectually, without any of the painful feelings experienced in the operations of most Cathartics. 'lt strengthens the system at the same time that it purges it; and when taken daily in moderate: doses, will strengthen and bniid it up with unusual rapidity. The Lrvxa is one of the[ principal regulators of the human body; and when it performs its functions well, the powers of the system are fully developed. The stomach- is.almost entirely dependent on the healthy action of tho Liver for tho| Qj proper performance of its functions; when tho stom-| ach is at jfhult, the bowels aro at fault,,and the whole,Q system Buffers In conse quence of onq organ—the!''

Wood for Restoring hair perfectly and pm mancntl}, has never yet had a rival, vol ume alter volume might be given from nil jwrts of the world and from the most intelligent to prove that,it is a perfect Restorative ; but read the circular and you cannot ddubt; read also the following. ZEJ-The Hair.—People hdvc for centuries been afflicted with bald heads and the only remedy, heretofore known, has been those abominable wigs. By a recent discovery of Professor Wood these articles are being fast dispensed with, but a great many pcrsbns still patronize them, because they have been so often imposed Upon by Hair Tunics of; different kinds. To all such persons we earnestly make the request; that they-will try once again, for in Wood’s Restorative there is no such thing as 'fill." We know of a lady who was bald, who used tlie-artide a short time, and her head is now coveted completely with the tiniest and' most beautiful curls imaginable. We know of numerous cases where hair was rapidly falling out, which It restored in greater perfection than it ever had been before. It is also without doubt one of the best articles for kce[e ing the hair in good condition, making it soft and glosi-y, removing dandruff, and hits proved' itself the greatest ene my to.all the ills that hair is heir to. It is the duty of every one to improve their personal ap pearance though some may differ in regard to the ways of doing if: but every one will admit that w beautiful head of hair, cither in man or woman, is an object much tube de sired. and thyre are no means that shodul be left untried to obtain such a consideration.— Woman's' Advocate, Ptiila.

Confession of Monster. The “ down-enat” papers contain: the confes-j sion of Marshal Potter, who, on tlie night of Wednesday, April 6th, at Lee, Maine, murder ed hie aged mother and two brothers!, and a boy, his nephew, and then eet fire to ,the house.— The villian is a graduate of the State Prison, and has long been an object of general aversion and distrust. His object in committing these murders was to gratify, a slight quarrel with his mother, eighty years old, who threatened to deny him with further admission to the house, in con sequence of bis bad conduct, and; also to get possession of $2OO which his brothers had by them, and $lOO which his mother had received a few days previous; her pension as the widow of a revolutionary soldier*. Of his [own accord, the wretched man, Marshall Potter, made the following confession;— ' “I am guilty. I came home about 10 o'clock Wednesday night; my mother was irp; she told me it was a fine time of night to tome home : one of my brothers told me I bad been over to Mr. Hanscom’s, and carried a bottle of liquor with me; I told him 1 had not been there ;ho told me I had; I told him that I did not want any more stuff from him, or something to that amount; he told me if I did not keep still I should go out doors; I told him I shouldn’t go out; I went out into the other part of the house and got a shingle maul, (an instrument made of hard wood, twelve inches long and six in width and breadth, with a handle about a foot long in the end) with which I took'the lives of them all; 1 went in and struck Alexander with the shingle maul; I hit him in tboiface and on the bead and struck him a number of times. “1 then struck Oliver several times on the head and face, they neither of theta struggled after I hit them. My mother came into the room and got hold of me; I swung round and struck her with the maul, and she fell;' she did not struggle. The caudle was setting on the wood box by the side of the stove ; I Upped it off the box iute the box of shavings; the shavings took fire, and 1 did try to pul the fire out; I then left the house and wept out round it ; I staid out round there till it got pretty well afire; then 1 went over to Mr. Hanscom’s, called him up and told him that the house was burning up, and all there was in it; he got np, and heand I went over; when we got there the house: was pretty much burned through. “ I killed Albert (his nephaw, a boy ten years j old); I killed them all; 1 think T didn’t stike | Albert on the bend; I struck him on tho side of the face with the maul; be didn’t struggle theu ; I heard him make a.noise afterwards ; he was lying on the bed, but I don’t know as he was psleep : I don’t know how the shavings came in the box; they were ihero before } mother was up and sitting by the stove when I came in; my two brothers were in bed ; we had some quar reling before, but nothing but words.” The examination of the mutilated and .char red bodies confirms the account ot the manner in which tbe murder was effected, even that of the buy whose jaw and face is horribly crushed The murdered is 43 years of age. "He allows no particular sign of feeling, but seenjs rather in different than otherwise. Judicial Faeces.— A correspondent, who has evidently kept bis eyes open and made use of bis optics, sends us a communication concerning the escape of "an alleged murderer In Philadel phia. The remarks of our correspondent will 'fit some other lochlitios we know of. He thus sketches the judicial farce sometimes enacted under the name of a trial for murder: “ For the fun of the thing, let us suppose the alleged murderer caught. “ Vel;t votofit?” Of coarse, he will have a hearing before a mag istrate, bail business discussed, and awful hard swearing, pro and con., generally. ‘ Prisoner is committed to stand a trial. \ Dip arrives.— * Quarter Sessions crowded. Counsel for defend ant on band and eager for tbe fray. Jury cal led. “Formed an opinion?’’ Test “Stand aside.’’ Another and another—slime question' —same answer; till, after a long time, twelve intelligent; ,&0., are procured. When, all of a sudden, the discovery is made that an impor tant witness is absent. “Can’t; go on, your Honor. Peter Jones is here—will swear that John Snooks, who knows everything, and more too, can’t be found; expect to prove by him in sanity in the family of the prisoner fora thou sand years; wjll swear that the prisoner is as harmless as a kitten; was hit once, when a baby, on' the shins, with a doogti-ntit, and been soft headed ever since.” The trial is pul off; comes on next six 'months; crazy dodge; no go ; con victed ;\great shame; innocent ns a lamb; move for a new trial; argument heard; refused; sen tenced ; Governor pardons. And; 80 ends the farce. Who wonld’nt “ take a dajf s shooting ?” A Strange Advertisement. —TFe find in the Zanesville Courier an advertisement of Solomon Sturges, one of the. wealthy men of Ohio, in which he sets forth his reasons for offering far sale his vast landed property, pe advertises the subject thus:— “ 1 have some eight or ten fine improved forms in Indiana, and one 0f670 acres; near Galena, in Illinois, that I wish to sell. I believe no man has a right to own more land than is necessary for bis use, and that of his family;: God has no doubt wisely ordained, that land\thitri» should be cursed ; and I can truly say I am' ex ceedingly ancons to Sell qll my lands, and get rid of the curse. 1 will therefore sell at low price*, and on easy terms of payment, any of my real estate; and 1 have a great deal pnore than I want, ought tp have,; or desire.”: , gQT A German couple vrere g remarried in Detroit a few,days since, after been.di vorced from each other for three Jjears.

His tearful.wife, too, trembling in%er doubt between starvation and honor, bids him go and yield to the committee and the union, and hare their spotless names preserved from such a' fearful list/ Ndw,- brother, nke chanic, let me say a word or two, as we gp up to the judgement hall. I have Joined In a “strike," in days leng since past. We Struck against bosses who woe exceedingly kind to us; agains men. who sympathized with ha in cur sickness, and smiled, upon us In our prosperity. We, too, were perfectly satisfied with our env ployers and our wages, and in faet, there was but one man who complained of anything In the whole establisment, and ho was Hie Uuittt man, perhaps, that ever breathed, and strange is h may seein, was as peevish as he was lazy. He must have wondered at the generosity of his employers, in keeping him about the shops; but like all things earthly, his wonder had an end, for he was discharged, and with no other alter* native but to “ strike.” He etruck for higher wages, and though des piaed by all, he started a little stream which burst erory barrier, till the fountain itself .was exhausted. We all struck, we knew not why,, hut we imagined we were in an age that demon* ded a revolution. We soon disliked to meet ear employers, and we as soon imagined that they bated us, and only wished crush ne beneath their terrible tyranny.. We farmed a union, and displayed a magnificent “ black list."' We para ded the streets to very martial musio; we drank, and smoked, and flourished, and our employers had to yield, yes, we “ brot’em’’ to terms, and they were mighty glad to get us baek. Glori ous day ! Magnificent victory!! What a grand success we mechanics hud achieved!!! And yet strange to tell, in the short space of seven months, there were but sixteen of the “ strikers” left in that town, and they of the sixteen all, with but one exception, had been emblosoned on the terrifiic “ black list.” Let me tell you, my friend, no man nor no set of men cenld frighten these strikers, now with a “ black lied.” Nay, though they dared to write their names upon the blackest walls of the infernal pit,- and send from thence the most hissing groanspf damned spirits, they would die before they Wotdd yield their liberty and strike for what they did not desire ; If your employers are regardless of your riffSU, strike ofl’ their bonds and starve before yen will yield. But for humaity’a sake, do npt say “ t was perfectly satisfied, and would like to be at work again, bat the rest struck, and I was afraid to stand out” If you have any rights to vindicate, let me urge it upon yen to mantain them. ’ 1 ' “ But he alone U just.” who in the vindication of his own osun, in fringes not the rights of others. The Laugh or Womax. — A woman has no natural gift more bewitching than a sweetTadgh. It is like the sweet sound of flutes on the water. It leaps from her heart in a clear, sparkling rill; and the heart 'that hears it, feels as if bathed in cool, exhiliarating spring.

We have—And’ we are pursuing that wondering voice to thu day.— Sometimes it comes tons in the'midst of ehre or sorrow, or ikspme business; and then we turn away and listen, and hear' it ringing through the room like a silver bell, with power to scare away the ill spirits mind; 'How much we own to thatjiweet laugh! It tarns the prose into poetry, flings shoWrs of shun shine over the darksome wood in which we : ara traveling; it touches with light even our sleep, jvhich is no more the image of death, feat is bousumed with dreams that are the shadowli of immortality.
