Cambria Freeman. EDEilSDCRG, PA. TiiGR9DATMotonxo, : April 14, 1870. Tbi AvmuH Niwerpw Dibictobt. published by O. P. Howell A Co., Adverti aing Agents. No. 40 Park Row, New York, contains a fall and complete statement of all facts about newt paper which an adver tiser desires to know. The subscription price is five dollars, Ox the day before the Legislature ad journed, the Senate rejected the nomination if Col. Qeorge F. McFarland as Superintend ent of the Soldiers' Orphans' Schools, which I edition tie has held for the past three years. The refuia! of the Senate to confirm the ap. poiotment caused quite a sensation among the members of that body. We are aware that some time ago several damaging charges were made sgainst Col. Mc Far land' man agement of these schools, but as we know nothing of their truth or falsehood, we are not' prepared to either endorse or disapprove the action of the Senate. That Citais. In a speech which fie de livered in the Senate in favor of the admis sion of Revels, the octoroon Senator from Mississippi, Simon Cameron is responsible for the statement, that when Jefferson Davis left the Senate chamber, in 1861, he (Davia) predicted to him (Cameron) that the time was fast approaching when his (Davis') chair in that body would be occupied by a negro. It is .unfortunate for Simon that Jefferson Davis is still living, otherwise this story, improbable as it is, might have had a long and popular run. Davis declares that no such conversation ever occurred and that the statement is a puro fabrication. It has been argued by the Radical press, from this canard of Cameron's, that the sooty Revels, reclining in the chair if Jefferson Davis, is a flee exam ple of tetributive justice .The poetry, howev er, this whole affair is badly Fpoi'ed, by tie fact that soon after the commencement of the rebelion some of the New York volunteers, who were quartered at the Old Capitol, re moved the chair which had been used by Davis from the hall of the Senate, and, in a St of patriotic ardor, smashed it into innu merable fragments. Sic transit. Tlie Governor's Veto. About an hour before the final adjourn ment of the Legislature, Qov. Geary threw a very large and destructive bomb-shell into that deu of thiever, in the shape of a mes sage vetoing the Jersey Shore, Pine Creek and Buffalo Railroad bill. This bill by far the most important measure of the session, went through both Houses in an incredibly frhort space of time, and justified the preva lent belief that there was a large amount of money in it for corrupt legislative purposes. The blow was not struck until the entire ma chinery was in perfect running order, aud then its progress was as irresistible as an array with banners. It is safe to say, that at Isast one-half the votes it received were delivered on time, to be paid for, by those who had the matter in charge, when the material provisions of the bill were complied with. The Governor's veto, however, sad ly interfered with'thess future financial ar rangements. The bill proposed to take from the Sinking Fund of the State nine millions and a half of solvent bonds, and distribute them among four railroad companies in the north-western and western portions of the State, which have not yet been commenced, and whose ultimate ability to redeem the securities thus proposed to be presented to them is a mere matter of experiment and conjecture. The principal objection of the Governor against the bill is that it is a plain violation of the Constitution, for the reason that it invades the Sinking Fund and robs it of this enor mous amount of securities, which have been placed there iu pursuance of law for the sole and inalienable purpose of paying off the public debt. This is a sound position and one that cannot be successfully controverted. It is but'teldom that we feel justified in com mending any cf the official acts of the pres ent State Executive, but we canuot refrain from saying, that Gov. Geary deserves the endorsement of the people of the entire State, for interposing his constitutional pre rogative to prevent this gigantic swindle from being carried into effect. The Late Legislature. , There annually occurs in this State a day . f evil omen and also one of happy memory. The first is when the Legislature assembles, and the second when it finally adjourns. This latter event took place cn last Tburs day, to tho gTeat relief and general jny of the whole people. It is too soon to ascertain what amount of legislative bungling to say nothing of downright deviltry, has been per petrated during tbe session. It may be safe ly said, however, that the quantity as well as the quality of its legislation have been fully up to the standard of its illujtrions predecessor. A great many things have been done that ought not to have been done, and a great many thirjgs have been left un done that should have been done. A bill relative to the State Treasury, and for the better management of the public funds, a subject demanding the most careful consider ation, was rushed through both Houses just at tbe heels of the session. What its provi sions are we cannot say, bnt we know that - before the fioal vote was taken several mem bers pronounced it to be a bundle of contra dictions and a disgrace to the statute book. Tbe new liquor bill, as it passod the Senate, submitting tbe question of license or no li cense to s vote of the people of the different counties, was amended in tbeHonseby sub stituting cities, boroughs and townships in stead of counties, and when it came back to the Senate that body thrice refused to con sldei it, and. the I'll fell as it ought to have done. We trust that heieafter all such focal temperance bills will meet with the same fate. It would be quite as statesmanlike to attempt to reverse the laws of nature by the passage cf a bill declaring that water shall not seek its own level. Society never yet has been and Dever can be legislated into sobriety. A coach and four can easily be driven through any act which aims to effect such an utter impossibility. The second effort to enact tho.Metropolitan Police bill, although it passed the Senate, was defeated in theHoupe by being indefinitely postponed. That shameless swindle known as Bates' Military llistory had a safe deliverance. The job is to be prosecuted to completiou and the books are to be divided between the Governor, heads of departments and the membeis of the last and succeeding Legis lature. This outrage of itself ought to damn every member who gave it his support, for all time to come. It was the most bare faced robbery of the session. We are unable to say what became cf the bill restoring the Spiing elections, as it was a measure of pub lic importance, bnt one in which there was no money, that taliumanic wand of Pennsyl vania legislation, it is fair to infer that it died in the hands of an unpaid committee. Lowry's resolution for the abolition of cap ital puuibhment was reported favorably by the Senate Committee, but was never after wards heard of. With tho bad record of the iate session, as far ns it is known, it will bow be in order for the public press throughout tbe State to commence its stereotyped denuncia tions of legislative corruption. But will they amount to anything? Not much, ex cept a vast amount of labor lost. We make this prediction, that when the nominations for members of the next Legislature shall have been made.by both partus, it will be found that a majority of the very men, who were notoriously conspicous for their con nection with the various corrupt and plun dering "Rings" during the late session, have been re-nominated. To say that they wi!l not be re elected, would not be judging of the future from what Las uuiformly occurred in the past. Where will then be the boast ed virtue and intelligence cf the people ? Grant and San Domingo. It is not a pleasant fight to behold a Pres ident stooping from bis high fiice and as suming the vulgar role of a Congressional lobbyist. It is the business of a President to execute the laws that may be papsed by Congress, but never to become en active and busy psrticipator in their enactment. No President has ever before compromised his dignity by miking electioneering v'sits to the Capitol and attempting to decide a doubtful question by throwing into the scale his own personal and official influence. Iu the better days of the republic, such a scene would have shocked the moral sense of the whole country and called forth Use severest denunciation. What theirs Washington, or any of his other successors, would have scoraed to do, has been reserved for the second (so called) to attempt. It is well known that a treaty has been formed betweeo Grant and Baez, the Presi dent of San Domingo, for tke anexation to the United States, of that disturbed and rev olutionary portion of the Island of llayti, with its emi-barbarous negroes and its un ascertained debt. What reasons exist why it is desirable that this acquisition of tropi cal territory should be made by our govern ment, at this particular time, has never been made apparent to the people of this country, although we have no doubt that the credi tors of San Domingo see a pressing necessity for it, its in that event their claims would be paid by the government of the United States. This treaty between Grant and his friend Baez was referred, during the present ses sion of the Senate, to the Committee on Foreign relations and was reported adversely. This was a blow from an unexpected quar ter, and one that was not anticipated by Grant, who vainly supposed that it was only necessary to let it be known that he favored the project, and that it had the sanction of Ai'j great name, in order to secure its endorse ment. He threw himself into the breach, and establishing his headquarters in a room adjoining the Senate chamber, attended by one of his faithful Brigadier Generals, vent for certain Senators who were known to be opposed to the treaty and attempted by per. sonal appeals to induce them to vote for its ratification. Not meeting with the success in this direction which he expected, he next tried what virtue there might be in a grand dinner at tbe White House, to which those same Senators were invited. The result was that his guests were as little influenced by his feast as they had been by his personal solicitations, and the time for the ratification of the treaty having expired without any definite action by tho Senate, it fell to the ground, at loast for the present. There is a mystery about Grant's exceed ing anxiety in reference to this San Domin go business, to be followed, if successful, by the annexation of Hayti and Cuba, which it is difficult to explain. It is believed by many who have good opportunities for know ing, that in bin negotiations with Baez, Grant has drawn enormously on the secret service fund, a satisfactory explanation of which might be extremely difficult, as well as unpleasant. Bo that as it may, it is cer tain that this wild, visionary and plunder ing scheme has only been deferred for a time and has not by any means been finally abandoned. A joint resolution of Congress will as affectually accomplish the swindle as the ratification of the treaty. That Grant will stoop to any means to accomplish his purpose, after what has already occurred, is perfectly manifest. We judge that tbe tax ridden people of this country are heartily sick of the experiment, as far as it has been tried, of acquiring foreign territory. The money spent for the purchase of Alaska, with its almost tangible fogs, its forbearing seals and its worthless Indians, might as well have been sunk to the bottom of the ocean. San Domingo, with its negroes, its debts, and its chronic revolutions, would bo a burden both expensive and intolerable. Tbe Irlsli Fore BUI. The London correspondent of the New York World furnishes that paper with the annexed synopsis of a harsh and cruel law which has recently passed the British Par liament, and received the sanction of Queen Victoria, under the innocent title of "A bill for the preservation of peace in Ireland." It is a disgrace to the civilisation of the nine teenth century and reminds one of the pre scriptive legislation towards Ireland that prevailed in England during the time of Oliver Cromwell. It is such odious and op pressive laws as this, that for five hundred years has kept alive the hatred of England and English rule in the breasts of the Irish people, and which will feed and nourish that feeling iu all its bitterness as long as the shamrock grows on Irish soil, or the waters of the Shannon flow to the sea. TKE BIGHT TO BEAR ARMS. No person in Ireland shall be allowed to curry irms unless he has a license granted him tor that puipo?e; and any person carrying or having" arms without such license shall be imprisoned for two years. The effect of this will be that any magistrate may grant licenses to bis own party to go armed with guns or re volvers, and may disarm everybody else in his district, sending whoever may be guilty of having a gun or a pistol to the penitentiary for two years. FEABCnI TOR ARMS. " It shall be lawful for any persons to whom any warrant is given to search for and seize arms," to act on this warrant for three months from the time it is issued, and,. "at such times and as often as thev think fit, to enter into any house or place' in order to execute it, and if entrance be refused to lorce their way in. SELLING GCSPOWDKK AND ARMS. If any person fells gunpowder to one not having a license he is to be fined 5 for every sale; if he sells or even repairs a gun or pistol for a person not having this license, be is to be riiied 5i). COMPELLI.VG THE GIVING OF TESTIMONY. When a felony or roiademeanor has been committed in any district, although no person nr-av be charged with such offence, any justice of the peace may summon before him any per son whom he may "believe" to know some thing about it, and if this person refuses to an swer such questions as may be put to him, the magistrate may tend him to j-t.il for six month. How will this work? A landlord, for instance, iaehot; the magistrate "believes" that Pat'k Cosiigan knows who shot him; he has Patrick brought before him. 'Who shot the landlord?' askB the mapUtrate. Shore, nnd how can I know, your Honor?" says Patrick. "That is no answer," says the magistrate, "and I send you to jail for six months." Patrick goes to jail, although he knows no more about the murder than your correspondent does, and meanwhile his family starves. SEAP.CHI.xa FOR. THREATENING LETTERS. If any one goes before a magistrate nnd states that he "suspects" somebody else has written a threatening letter, aud that if his house is searched some other document in his hand writing may be found, the magistrate may is sue a warrant for such a search, and this may be executed at any time. A SB EST OF PERSONA TAKING MOONLIGHT WALKS- "Any constable, peace officer, or other per son" may arrest and biing before a magistrate anv one who,"under suspicious circumstances," shall be found "in tbe fields, streets, highways, or elsewhere out of his dwelling, from one hour after sunset until sunrise;" the person thus ar rested must be sent to jiil until he can be brought before the justices at petty sessions; and then, unless He can prove to their aatisfac tion that "he was out of his house upon his lawful occasion or busintss," he may be sent to jail for six months. A bench of Orange justices would certainly decide that a man who had been to see a priest at nine o'clock was not on "lawful bn.-iness;' a. bench of crusty bach elors might decide that going to see a sweet heart at night was. not "a lawful occasion," and the oppression that may be practised under this"pro vision can scarcely be estimated. STRANGERS TO BE ARRESTED. Any justice of the peace, constable, peace officer, or other person may arrest "any stran ger sojourning or wandering"; he may then be brought before a magistrate," who shall ex amine him on oath concerning "his place of abode, the place from wheuce he came, his marner of livelihood, and his object of remain ing or coming into the county, city, or town in which he shall be found;" nnd "unless he shall auswer to tbe satisfaction of such justice,' he shall be sent to jail, there to remain until he can find bail or until the justice chooses to re lease him. Imagine, for a moment, what may not be done under such a provision as this. There will be few tourists in Ireland this sum mer, I fancy ; and when I go thither I must take care to provide myself with all kinds of safe-conducts, passports, and certificates of good character. TRIAL BT J0RT AEOLISITF.D. "When a person accused of any of the offences stt forth in a schedule attached to this till, and which embraces a long list of acts consid ered innocent everywhere else, he may not de mand a jury trial, but the justices of the peace shall sit as jurymen as we;l as judges, and, at their pleasure, may find tbe accused guilty aud send him to jail for six months. SlFFRFfSI.NG NlWSrATEES. "Where any newspaper printed in Ireland contains any treasonable or seditious engra ving, matter or exprc?sioB,or anv incitements to toe committing of any felony, or any engra ving, matter, or expressions having a tendency to foster, escourage, or propoxate treason or sedition," the entire "plant" of such paper, its presses, types, engines, etc , "shall be forfeited to her Majesty." The Lord Lieutenant is to grant his warrant for the seizure of the proper ty, and any person resisting its execution shall be deemed K"''ty ff felony, and punished ac cordingly. The proprietor of the paper may bring action of damages; but the burden of proof must lie on his shoulders; he must prove a negative that bis paper did not contain treasonable articles, or articles having a tend ancy to incite treason; and. if he fails in this, he will get nothing. The English journals, in order to find fitting comments on this provi sion, hare only to turn back their files and quote wUat they said about tbe press censorship in France, nnd the suppression of newspapers in the United States during the rebellion. BLOOD MONET. "Where it shall" appear ti nt any person has been murdered, maimed, or otherwise injured, and that the crime was of an agrarian charac ter, tbe grand jury of the countjr frhall ordei a sum of money to tbe person so injured, or to hi- family, if he be killed, "having regard to the rank, degree, situation, and circumstances" of the individual; and this sum shall be raised by a general tax on the county, barony, or township. A cat nearly caused the death of a child in Perry county, a few days ago. Mrs. Jeremiah Hull left her child, aged about 9 months, in the room playing with the cat while she was engaged in another part of tbe house. After some time she went to see about the child, when she saw the cat sittnig upon its breast with its nose inserted in the ch iid's mouth and its paws clasped around its neck. Mrs. Hull ran aud threw tho cat from the child, which was almost lifeless, but tbe cat immediately sprang back on the child, placing its nose in the child's month and clasping it around the neck as before. A second time the animal was thrown back and then greatly enraged it again sprang forward andcanzht the ehiht bv the, thmot After releasing the child, the cat was taken out and immediately kilied. The child recovered in a few days. But for the timely retnrn of the mother to Ken tho M!it it would soon have been rdaced bo hoje of recovery. A Private Soldier Condemned to Dentil for Faluns' In Loic. From the New Orleans Picayune. To-day, just bb - the fun is at meridian, just as with solemn sound the great bell of tbe old St. Louis Cathedral tolls forth the hour of noon, a soldier will pay the penalty of a crime for which military justice knows but one expiation. Tbe United States bar ricks, below the city, baa been the place selected where the execution is to take place, and the green sward of the parade ground will ere many hours be stained with the crimson life blood of the unfortunate man. He was a member of one of the companies of United Stated troops stationed near a vil lage in one of the interior parishes of Louis iana. Near the camp of the company was the plantation of a wealthy gentleman who bad sympathised with the Uuion cause during the war, and who, therefore, was the object of special attention on the part of the command then performing provost duty. Tbe planter had a large family, among whom was a daughter who possessed in a remarkable degree that rare typo of beauty for which the women of the'South are noted. She had imbibed the sentiments of her father, and, therefore, took great pleasure in enter taining the officers who frequeutly visited the house. The First Lieutenant of the company, Ambrose Black, at once conceived a warm attachment for the beautiful young creolc, and endeavored in every way to induce her to share hia feelings. Strange to say, how evtr, the lady treated him in a peculiarly polite and formal manner, that proved her heart was ice toward him. This was a great shock to his vanity, and he was at a h&s to understand it. Finally the explanation camo, when one of his companions, playfully rallying him upon his ill success, staled that he had discovered why the lady had refused to smile upon him. He had accidentally witnessed au interview between herself aud Private Alfred Blake, tbe sddicr who had been detailed to guard the house an inter view which proved conclusively that the heart of the young creole was irrevocably the private's and not the ofjuer's. This intelligence was too much for Lieut. Black. Hia pride was wounded in its uiokt vital point. He had been forestalled where his heart was most enlisted, by one of his owu subordinates. Seeking Private Blake at once, he poured out the vials of his wrath upou him, and declared he would send him where he should have no more opportunities of dallying with a shameless girl while on duty. Alfred Blake had borne much, but this coarse allusion to the woman he loved I etter than life fired heart and brain, aud with one blow he struck his officer prostrate upon the ground in the presence of his com pany. Then followed the trial which was ren dered inexpressibly touching by the presence of tbe woman who had cared to love a pri vate soldier the sentence of death, to be preceded by imprisonment at Ship Lland. To day the sentence is to be enioiced and the majesty of the law sustained. Here was an opportunity for the magnan imous Grant to save the life of a gallant soldier'siung to madness by the taunts of an insolent snob. If the case is as stated by the Picayune, it is on of the most affecting on record. Pittsburgh Post. . FodtD. The fate of Mrs. Margaret Wha Ien, who disappeared n the eveuing of Thursday. February 24tb. has been at last determined. On Sunday last her remains were found -by Isaac and Jeremiah Lord on the Suuth side of Sharp Mountain, near the top, within a few rods of tbe fence of Alli son's farm and about two mrles from town. It will be recollected that on the afternoon of her disappearance she had gone to church with a grandchild, but became separated from the child after service and her mind being under a cloud, she wandered away no one knew whither. From that time forward every inquiry and effort was made to Ret a trace of her, but without avail. There was snow on the ground at the time, and snow and cold weather soon succeeded, so that after the first few days her fate was almost cer tainly conjectured by everybody acquainted with the tacts. As many as furty men were daily scouring the woods for nearly a week, but unsuccessfully. Immediately upon the discovery of the remains the Coroner wis notified, an inquest was held and a verdict rendered of 'death from exposure." The body was in a good state of preservation, only somewhat discol ored by freezing. She was found lying upon her face, with the palme of her hands togeth er. Her gloves were straightened out, placed nicely together, and laid by her side along with" her prayer-book. She had taken off her bonnet and shawl, also, as if about to retire for the night, and evidently had been engaged in praying perhaps offering up her usual nightly devotions when the frost king came and touched her with his deadly finger. She was, it is presumed, uncoscious of her whereabouts, surroundings and dan ger, and hence fell peacefully and noiselessly into that sleep from which there is no awa kening In this world. The remains were brought to town in the afternoon and taken to the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. Kelly. On Tuesday they were carried to the grave and interred with appropriate ceremonies.--Vivt'y Standard. A cocfle of weeks ago a noted colored Radical frem East Tennessee, formerly of New York, named Dr. J. B. Young, appear ed before the House Reconstruction Commit tee, at the head of a delegation, and present ed a formidable address, reciting horrible outrages purporting to have been committed in that State by tho "Ku-Klux," and asking that Congress might reconstruct the State. He also called on the President and enlisted his sympathies. On Wednesday members of the committee received copies of a Knox ville Radical paper, containing an adver tisement showing Young to be a full blown rascal. Even Butler on reading the adver tisement exclaimed, "Well, my nigger has gone up." This shows a specimen cf the character of men Telied on to give evidence to reconstructed Tennessee. Here is the ad vertisement : A CARD. Te the Public : There has been a great deal said about me and my wife. I have for years acted in the capacity of a miuieter of the colored A.M.E.Zion Church in Kooxville. On the night of the 20th January, 16G9, at about fifteen minutes after three o'clock, p. m , 1 caught one Dr. J. B. Young, a liegro doctor from York State, who bad been boarding at my house for some years, pollutirg my bed room by lewdness with my wife, Mary E. An deison. I was an eye witness to the transac tion between them, and my friends will believe me when I say 1 "saw it." I have, therefore, put Mary E. Anderson away from my bed and board for lite, resigning all my claims and rights in her to the mogul doctor, J. B.Young. Colored friends of my sex, look out for your families. The bull is loose.

Tho murderers got the money and made their escape. The Providence Herald says, a minister in Athol, Mass., a few days since, married a 3'oung man from Orange tr a little girl cf twelve, at the command of the child's moth er, who accompanied them. The clergyman was very unwilling to perform the ceremony, but the mother inMsted upon it. saying that the husband should have no control wer his child wife untill she was seventeen, ajd that all the preliminary legal proceedings had been complied with. In a town in this State the other day the newly enfranchised wanted to celebrnte the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment by firiug a salute. The only cannon in the town belonged to on old Democrat. He didn't want 'to spoil tl.eir jull .fication and he loaned them the gun. The darks tried to touch her off, but no go. The c:mse, they aid, was "it was ti copperhead gun." They brought it to the onrr in disgust and tendered no thapks. On. examination he found they had loaded it wad first. Mr. Amos Cos!ett. a farmer of Douglass county. 111., went to Tuscola on Saturday last with a load of corn to be ground into meal. While putting the baml on the shaft which runs the cornshel'er the two large cogs caught his coat, and in a moment the bo.ly of the unfortunate man was severed in twain. So sudden was the catastrophe that Mr. Coslett lived for fully twenty minutes after being cut in two. and gave some direc tions concerning his affairs, and repeated the Lord's prayer three times. He leaves a widow and seven children to mourn his loss. A charter election was held in Evans ville, Indiana, a few days tince. The Fif teenth Amendment proclamation added two hundred and twenty-nine rotes to the Ruli cal strength, and although parties were very equally divided before, the Democrats elected seven out cf the nine conncilmen one of the most decisive victories tbey ever gained. The conservative Republicans, who were not Fifteenth Amendment men voted the regular Democratic ticket in sufficient numbers to fully counteract the increased strength which the colored vote gave the Radicals, This is a chip showing the drift of the current. On Saturday the United Sta'es Treasurer received a letter from S. L. Carpenter, of Kansas City, Missouri, inclosing a dreadfully battered up and ill-used twentv-five cent note for exchange, bnt having some conscien tious scruples as to the genuineness of the rag. he took occasion to beseech the Treasur er not to brand it as a counterfeit, saying he was a poor boy, and twenty five cents was a matter of great importance out West, where money was scarce, and it the en closed should prove to be bogus, he was very anxious to have it returned, as he knew a place where he could spend it for lager beer. On Wednesday evening a diabolical out rage was committed at Tituxville. Tbe wife of Dr. Baily, of that place, while taking a nap in her bd chamber, at eight, o'clock in tb t evening, was deprived of her hair. It w rilong. dark and luxuriant, and she was in tho habit of throwing it back upon the pillow. In this position the hair was cut very near the head, and so dexteronsly that she was not awakened. The door of the office was, as usual in the absence of the Doctor, nnlocked. and whoever perpetrated the outrage was doubtless familiar with the circumstances. Dr. Baily offer3 a heavy reward for the detection and conviction of the person who committed the Outrage. When the facts were made known in the ante-room that the Fifteenth Amend ment had received the signature of the President, father in-law Dent happened to be sitting on a sofa, hia face half hidden between his hands, which rested on tho top of a heavy gold-headed walking-slick. He bounded to bis feet with the agility of a cat, shook his head threateningly at the group of reporters who were waiting for copies of the proclamation, and exclaiming in a loud voice, "You'll be sorry for it ! You'll be sorry for it! The d d niggers!" hobbled quickly out of the room, slamming the door after him, and leaving his dutiful son, the General, overwhelmed with confusion.

Startling Phenomena in Guayaquil. The uews brought by the Panama steamer to day includes a report from Guayaquil which will interest all who have noticed the re markable natnral phenomena wihia the last few years phenomena which have given rise to much serious consideration among scientific people, and to more wild and im probable speculation. In Guayaquil, be tween Point Pasado and Point Veoado a peculiar volcanic movement has taken place. In a space of two leagues the surface of the earth undulated elowly, and the great chasms and deep circular excavations were opened. A new lagoon was found, and be tween the shore and the sea there appeared a large-sized hill. During all this fearful commation, the hills along the coast were observed to be iu a state of unrest, and large land slides took place, carrying with them rockn and trees. For four days this agitation continued, the undulations being from west' to east. The prrcite date of these phenomena is not given, but they must have taken place early in the month of March. It would seem from this that the throes cf the earth which a year or two ago. Fent desolation and death through some of the must populous districts of South America, are yet not wholly spent. N. Y.

Dr. R. W. Carr, of Buhimcre, says: I take pleasure in recommenuing youi RosADAi.isas a very powerful alterative. I have seen it used in two cases with happy results one in a case of secondary syphilis, in which the patient pronoanced himself cured after having taken five bot les of your medicine. The other is a esse of Scrofula of Ion,; standing, which is rapidly improving under its use, and the indications are that tbe patient will soon recover. I have carefully examined the formula by which your Rosadalis is made and find it an excelleut compound of alterative lngredirnts. Dr. Sparks, of Nicbolasville.
