A lew testimonials only can be here given ; see circular for mare, and it will be im]>osslble for you to coobt. 74 Wall Street, New York, Dec. 20th, 1858. GENTLEMEN: Your note of 15th inst., has been received, saying that I had been benefited by the use of Wood's Hair Restorative, aud requesting my certificate of the fact if I had no objecti n to give it. i award it to you cheerfully, because I thirk it | due. My age is about 50 years ; the color of my hair auburn, and inclined to curl. Some five or I six years since it began to tnrn gray, and the scalp ; on the crown of my head to lose its sensibility and I dandruff to form upon it. Each of these disagree | abiliti-s increased with time, and about four j months since a fourth was added to them, bv hair falling olf the top of my head and threatening to make me bald. In this unpleasant predicament, I was induced to try Wood's Hair Restorative, mainly to arrest the falling off of my hair, for I had really no expecta tion that my gray hair could ever be restored to its original except from dyes. I was however, I greatly surprised to find after the use of two bot ; ties oulv, that not Only was the falling off arrested, but the co '< r was restored to the gray hai-s and j sensibility to the scalp, and dandruff ceased to I form on my head, very much to the gratification of j my wife, at w hose solicitation I was induced to j try it. For this among the many obligations I owe to i her sex, I s.rougly recommend all husbands who J value the . iuiration of their wives to profit by my j example, and use it if growing gray or geting bald, i Very respectfully, BEN.

FILLER would respectfully an -LTX nounce to her friends in Bedford County, and to the public generally, that she has leased for a term of years, trie large and convenint brick hotel, at the corner of Pitt and Juliana Streets, Bed ford, Pa., known as the "WASHINGTON HO TEL," and lately kept by Mrs. Cook. This house is beiug thoroughly refitted an]., Her kiud mother appeared at the door. I was rejoiced to see the lady, for on a former oc caMon, I hud made her acquaintance, aud form ed strong attachments for her. £lte greeted me with the warmest cordiality, at the same time, giving expressions of deep regret, in regard to the absence of her daughter. Di>appointed again, sighed I, but when will she return ? "O ! 1 wiil send for her to-morrc>w." When left alouo in my private chamber, 1 wept! Why is it, that I am constantly doomed to dis appointments? Perhaps t'is for the best.— With these thoughts iu mind, I closed my eyes aud was soon folded iu the embrace of balmy sleep. When I awoke, the "King of day" was send ing forth his effulgent rays. All the earth was teeming iu loveliness. I felt very happy. 1 made the acquaintance of my f.ieud's youngest brother. Ha was a noble youth of seventeen. We enjoyed a ramble o'er the beautiful hills, a short distance frt)ui bis home. He frequently would say, "oh! how glad 1 am, that you have fulfilled your promise iu re gard to visiting sister, she will he so rejoiced when she hears of your arrival." 1 felt truly conviuced, that there was a last ing affection springing up withiu my heart for the youth, such feelings as any sister would cherish, for a fond aud loviug brother. He conversed with fluency on ail subjects, his mind was eudowed with all the uoble attributes of his nalure. His sister and I met, but 1 will not attempt a description of our meeting, suffice to say, that in every instance it was mutual. 1 had been there but a few days, when the youth who has already been introduced to our readers, became iilj we thought it only a slight indisposition. But he grew worse, and worse. One day his physiciau informed us, "that he had no more hope of bis recovery." "Cau this be true! must we part with our darliDg Wasbie!" These words fell from the lips of every mem ber of his beloved family. A few hours passed. Then God sent Hit guardian angels to waft our Washie's spirit to his Heavenly Home. Such a scene, God grant I may never again witness. 1 was a frequent visitor at the bed side of the sufferer. His sufferings, my pen can ne'er portray. But he endured all his af flictions, with the fortitude of a true child of our blessed Lord and Master. I uevor beard more beautiful language fall from human lips, than fell from his, duiing ail his illness. Mother dear, why mourn the loss of thy child? lie is happy now in that land, where sorrows never intrude. Gentle and affectionate sisters, never wish thy angel brother to return, where sin supremely reigns. Noble brothers, to you I would say, look unto Hir; who saw fit to remove your loving brother trout your midst. He will give you strength to sustain you wbsn trouble gathers densely around your home. "Hold fast to that which is good." "Prove faithful in all things," and at last He will receive you, to himself in glory. "Faded and gone is the faueat of flowers, Laid by death's hand in the teeming dark tomb; The smil .chose sunlight enlivened the hours Is laid in the grave, and is silent and cold; Bright were the glances that once lit the eye, Fond were the pictures ol innocence there, — Youthful, too youthful almost to di, Leaving the loved ones to weep in dispair. Faded and gone is the one that we cherished Fondly and true in our bosoms of yore ; Slumbering buds may awake ere tbey perish, But Wasbie's young soul shall awake here DO more. Look up ! fond mother, to Heaven's blue sea, Where the sun's golden glory is gleaming, Aud think while thou gazest,—immortal is be, Clothed with the Angels iu love ever beaming. Tie lived not to taste of the worlds boasted show. Nor mingled with vanities scattered below, But passed like a dream, or a tale that is told, To mingle his youth with the lambs of the fold ; They have wafted him home on tbeir pinions of love, Through the portals of starlight to Heaven above; And though we have laid hi young form 'ne&th the sod, He has gone to his Father, his Savionr, and God." UELA. i most Disgraeoful Appointment. Presideut Buchanan has appointed Calhoun Ken ham, United States District Attorney for California. Bentam, it will be recollected, was the principal second in the duel which re sulted m the death of the lamented Broderick. Can it be that this appointment has been given as a reward for '.he part he took in that bloody tragedy, which deprived the country of the fcrVivCs ui an Lunibi ftrjprcia. uto rive, nod u-far seeing statesman 1 In any light in which it can be viewed, it adds another to the disgrace ful acts "of which the President stands charged by his countrymen. It is an act which even : the worst eneuiy of Mr. BucbauaQ would not , have dared ask him to do, desiring to hasten him to his ruin. That a cmn who has been 'conspicuously b 'ore the country as a breaker of the law, and accessory to a murder whose I details he had assisted to arrange, should be J selected for a position the first duty connected with which is to punish the offending and to keep a vigilant eye upon the disorderly, to the I end that peace and quiet and sobriety may ! reign—this puzzles the braiu. Ihe -Veto York Tt ibune comments with just I severity upon this most disgraceful appoint ment. We copy the closing paragraph of the j article : "It is one of the customs of the duel for a second of each combatant to examine the body of the other principal, in order that no coat of mail or similar obstruction to the comfortable passage of the bullet shall be concealed there, this is usually but a mere form, delicately done, courteously suffered. The second of Broderick barely touched the breast of the Judge, then bowed aud withdrew. Calhoun Beuharn, who with alacrity stepped forth to do this pleasant office, "felt the breast, abdomen, and sides oj Air. Broderick with scrupulous core," thus prefacing deadly fight with coward ly, stinging insult. The administrative eje may be supposed to Lave glistened when this tact shown upon it. The question was decided, i'he official was found. The "scrupulous care" turned the scale, aud Calhouu Beniiaui entered into his reward. ' Tue Afew York Times speaks of this out rage in most severe terms. Wo copy a para graph : "We venture to say, therefore, that uuder such circumstances, there is not a man in the United .States, of Mr. Buchanan's age and standing in the community, who, in Mr. Bu chanan's place, would have done for Beuhaui what he has done. The appointment is char acteiized by all that reckless coutempt for morality aud decency for which the Adminis tration wbioh is now expiring has male itseif to notorious. Othei Presidents have been cor* rupt and time-serviug and unscrupulous, but Mr. Buchanan is, we venture to say, the first to glory in his shame. What others do iu secret, with trembling and blushes, he does openly with a smirk and a leer. We do not care one straw for the political aspects of this affair, and we are fully aware that recent ex posures prove our Chief Magistrate to be very much too old au offender to make it woith the while of acy journal to dwell auy iooger ou his misdeeds. There is no chance ot his re formation, aud his powers of mischief will soou expire. But it is due to the nation at large to protest against this latest attempt to vent petty spite by means of a gross .nsuit to au orderly Christian community. He begau the practice of setting the opinions ot the peo ple, about the eooduct of their representatives, at defiance long ago. There was au unmista kable emphasis as we.l as imoudeuce in his giviDg Glaucy Jones the Embassy at Vieima, after his expulson by his constituency, but this performance in San Francisco is something more than a violation of Democratic theories. YOL. 33, m 21. ! It is a slap in the face, administered by the President of the United S'ate>, not to political | opponents, but to every man in the community j who respects either God's law or man's."

Frauds. The Washington correspondent of the New Orleans Bulletin writes to that paper as fol lows : "Lot me give ycu one instance bow land frauds can be and are practised. Congress j gave a quarter section (160 acres) to each soldier or volunteer who uetualiy served in the war of 1812, the proof of service being his name on the pay roll of the army or the* vol unteer corps actually in service. A 'hill was subsequently introduced and passed authorizing verbal testimony of service, as it was assured that there were a few, a very few, hard cases, were parties bad served, but whose names could uot be tound on the rolls. Light thousand men, teguiars and volunteers, were at tho battle of Plattsburg when sir John Provost aud the Uritish army were rtpulsed ia Sep tember, 1814, all the real survivors of whicb, whose names were on (he roils, of course re ceived their 160 acres each, but under the law authorizing oral testimony, the Laud Office has actually issued twenty-seven thousand land warrants to the survivors, every mother's sou of whom has proved iu the most satisfacto ry manner that be was at this battle* Twenty seven thousand survivors of eight thousand uien after an interval of more than forty years! Ibe fact has been staled to me per sonally by the present Secretary of the Interi or. Protection to Monongahela Whiskey. The levity with which Loco/oco leaders treat questions in which the very bread of the work ing-man is concerned, shows their reckless dis regard of the interests of those whom they have so long deluded with the name of Democ racy, and professions of friendship for the poor, and hatred of the rich. When a delegate from Pennsylvania, in tho Charleston Convention, thought to make a lit tle capital for his party in this State, by getting something that would look liko a desire to pro* tect home indnstry, into their platform, be was laughed to scorn, and Mr. liynders, one of Mr. Buchanan's officeholders, from New York, with a horse-laugh, proposed to iusert Protection to Monongahtla Whiskey. What grosser insult could be offered to men who only ask that their industry may be pro tected from competition with the pauperized labor of Europe, than is apparent in this pro position 1 So far are these political managers from taking such a matter into deliberate con sideration that tbey are unwiliing to treat it with the least respc-cf, and tbey ridicule this proposition as if it were a tbiug in which they had the least concern. How long will there be found voters willing to be leaf by such ins solent hypocrites ?— Daily JYews. COMPLIMENTARY—VERY!—THE New York News, a democratic organ, thus speaks of the "L'ttle Giant "Douglas is, beyond all question, the most dangerous man in this Republic, more so than Seward, a thousand times, because he has ele ments of popularity with tie vulgar herd which Seward docs not possess. When a uirn is in troduced to Seward, for an examole, he will blend his dignity with his snavity, sod effect the Senatorial gravity ! But, introduce a man to Douglas, and he feels thirsty at once, and proposes a drink ! Wc are not more surprised than the Administration men are to find that Mr. Buchanan has been made tbe instrument, unwittinjftfi by placing Douglas in a position to peril tbe interests of tbe Democratic party."
