testily to the efficacy of Prof. O. J. Wood's Hair
Restorative, and gentlemen of the Piess are unani

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. A. LAVENDER.

To Prof. O.J. Wood: Dear sir : 'Your Hair Re
storative' done my hair so much good since I
commenced the use of it, that I wish to make
known to the public or its agents on the hair,
which are great. A man or Woman may be nearly
! deprived of ■•air, and by a resort to your 'Hair
Restorative,' the hair will return more beautiful
than ever; at least this is my experience. Believe
it all! Yours truly. WM. H. KENEDY*.

HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH UTTERS.
IT is a fact that, at some period, every mem
ber of the human family is subject to disease
or disturbance of the bodily functions; but,
with the aid of a good tonic and the exercise
of plain oommon sense, they may be able so to
regulate flie system as to secure permanent
health. In order to accomplish this desired
object, the true course to pursue is certainly
that which will produce a natural state of
t hings at the least hazard of vital strength and
life. For this purpose, Dr. Hosietter has in
troduced to this country a preparation bearing
his name, which is not a new medicine, but one
that has been tried for years, giving satisfac
tion to all who have used it. The Bitters
eperate powerfully upon the stomach, bowels,
and liver, restoring them to a healthy and
vigorous action, and thus, by the simple pro
cess of strengthening nature, enable the sys
tem to triumph over disease.
For the cure of Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Nau
sea, Flatulency, Loss of Appetite, or any Bilious
Complaints, arising from a morbid inaction
of tho Stomach or Bowels, producing Cramps,
Dysentery, Colic, Cholera Morbus, Ac., these
Bitters have no equal.
Diarrhoea, dysentery or flux, so generally con
tracted by new settlers, and caused principally
by the change of water and diet, will be speedily
regulated by a brief use of this preparation.
Dyspepsia, a disease which is probably more
prevalent, in all its various forms, than any
other, and the cause of which iuay ' .vuya
be attributed to derangements cf digestive
organs, can be cured without .ail by using
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS*, as pc
directions on the bottle. For this disease every
physician will recommend Bitters of some kiad,
then why not use an article known to be infal
lible ? All nations have their Bitters, aa a pre
ventive of disease and strengthener of the sys
tem iu general; and among them all there ia
not to be found a more healthy people than
the Germans, from whom this preparation ema
nated. based upon scientific experiments which
have leaded to prove the value of this great
preparation in the scale of medical science.
FEVER AND AOCE. —This trying and provok
ing disease, which fixes its relentless grasp on
the body of man. reducing him to a mere sha
dow in a short time, and rendering him phy
sically and mentally useless, can be driven
from the body by the use of HOSTETTER'S
RENOWNED BITTERS. Further, none of the
above-stated diseases can be contracted, even
in exposed situations, if the Bitters are used
as per directions. And as they neither create
nausea nor offend the palate, and render un
necessary any change of diet or interruption
of ordinary pursuits, but promote sound sleep
and healthy digestion, the complaint is re
moved as speedily as is consistent with the pro
duction of a thorough and permanent cure.
For Persona in Advanced Years, who are
suffering from an cnfeebled_ constitution and
infirm body, these Bitters are invaluable as a
restorative of strength and vigor, and need
only be tried to be appreciated. And to a
mother while nursing these Bitters are indis
pensable, especially where the mother's nour
ishment is inadequate to the demands of tho
child, consequently her strength must yield,
and here it is where a good tonic, such as
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, is needed to impart
temporary strength and vigor to the system.
Ladies should by all means try this remedy
for all cases of debility, and, before so doing,
should ask their physician, who, if he is
acquainted with the virtue of the Bitters, will
recommend their use in all cases of' weakness.
CAUTION—We caution the public against using
any of tho many imitations or counterfeits, but ask
for HOSTETTER'S CELEBRATED STOMACH BITTERS,
and see that each bottle has the words "Dr. J.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters" blown on the sido
of the bottle, and stamped on the metallic cap
covering the cork, and observe that our autograph
signature ia on the label.
Prepared and sold by HOSTETTER &
SMITH, Pittsburgh, and sold by all
druggists, grocers, and dealers generally
throughout the United States, Canada, South
America* and Germany.

Ma 4, 1860.-f
For the. Inquirer. j
This Dtght eight months ago, 1 seated myself -
behind the "Irou Horse," for the purpose of
payings visit to one of my beloved schoolmates,
who resided iu the city of P .
*■ Night sable Goddess! had spread her
lea n sceptre o'er a slumbering world." AH
nates* seem, j to bo hucbod Lo oblivion.
As we ascended the lofty AHeghenies my
heart glowed with glorious anticipations. For
she with whom I WHS anticipating to meet, was
one who had been participant in ail my paM joys
and sorrows for uear three years.
Ah! how many have been the golden hours
we have spent together. I wonder if she has
changed ? How will she meet me ? Not as a
rormal acquaintance 1 aui sure. Thus solilo
quized I, as these words fell upon my ear, "all
passengers for P please step this way"
Be assured dear readers, that 1 was one
among the first. The conductor polilely offered
to escort me along the platform in search of my
sweet friend. \\ e Walked back and forth; saw
many pleasant faces. But alas ! the dear one
I su much desired to gaze upon, was not pres
ent.
"How is this, that your friend is not here to
meet you ?" Not knowing I cannot say. "Did
you not dispatch from A?" 1 did sir. "It
seems strauge, surely she most have received
it."
'•l)o you wish a carriage? If so allow mo to
or<ier one. I replied IU the affirmative, and
soon we were on our way to tuy friend's resi
dence. We arrived there at one o'clock P. >].,
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.

Of all this vast value, we presume there was
not at an ounce of raw material which could
not have been furnished in this country, and
not a day's iabor whicn our own skilled mechan
ics might not have performed. Does it not
seem incredible that more than §1,000,000
should have been paid for bar iron, more than
a million for pig iron, and two millions and a
half for Railroad IroD, wueu the crude ore, the
means of refioiug it, and the machinery for
manufacturing can all Le found in existence
witbiD less than a hundred and fifty miles of
the port where all these things were landed.
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."
