A LETTER. Flt.OX CANADA.
Mr DEAR Srr,,Agtiin surrounded by the
associations of my ni thern home, with the
n... , .reury, at this part' ular moment of my
writing, indicating stout as cold weather
as that oftequoted al venerable, ' , Oldest
Inhabitant" has ever nown in these parts,
—twenty-two degreeSsotals of xero—and the
1 snow lying two feetAsep, with the prospect,
for the next two months, of regular drily
augmentations to that quantity—l say, un
der such circumstances, I will turn my
thoughts to you, and give the friendly read
ers of the Spy the benefit of my lucubrations;
and thus redeem a promise which I have an
indistinct recollection 9f making on the eve of
my departure from hime.
There was little to distinguish my jour
ney after leaving Columbia until I arrived
in Rochester, N. Y. .9ne incident, however,
of a very melancholy character, I shall note,
which transpired about three hours after I
left your town. I allole, of course, to the
accident which resulted in the death of
WAsuiNcrox BARRACK, superinduced by the
cureless and culpable neglect of duty of the
switch tender. At the moment the casualty
occurred, I was seated in the hindmost car,
and consequently felt but little of the shock
which the front cars received. Still the
concussion was sufficiently great to bring
the passengers simultaneously to their feet,
' who, panic-stricken, .34ide a rush for the
doors. On reaching the wreck of the en
gine and baggage train, I discovered the
body of poor Barrack Between the wheels of
the tender, his body under the ear, and his
shoulder and chest fairly upon the rail. I
scarcely think the tender wheels passed
over him, and yet his position was such as
to warrant the assumption that they had. I
assisted in extricating his body from the
wreck, and had it placed in one of the cars.
The detention consequent upon the acci
dent, peventod us from making connection
with the morning train for Elmira, N. Y.,
on our arrival in the city; and as the next
train would not start before evening, I was
forced to spend the day in Philadelphia. I
put up at the St. Lawrence, on Chesnut et.,
a few rods from the depot, and was pleased
to find in mine host, "the old Mountaineer,"
W. S. Campbell, recently of the St. Charles,
in Pittsburgh.
Having a few hours at my command, after
breakfast I visited the Academy of Fine
Arts, expecting to find some new feature of
interest in its arrangements, or some new
contributions to its galleries since my last
visit, which was about four years previous.
But I was twice appointed! "Death on the
pale horse" continues to occupy the prom
inent niche in the northern gallery; whilst
the "Deluge," and the "Dutch Burgomas
ter," who seems to be either surrendering
a city to, or defendingit from some "strong
minded women," occupy their old positions,
to the surprise and regret of every body,
who never hope to see their like again.—
The first rendering of the "Marsiellaise
Hymn" is a fine and glowing conception of
the patriot artist, energetically and truth
fully illustrated on canvas. With this and
several life-size portraits of distinguished
Americans constitutinthe exceptions, there
has been nothing add- , to the collections

or add reputation to tholnstitution. "Pene
lope," with her basket full of warp and woof,
still stands proud and imperious in her sor•
row. "Hero caressing Leander," after his
aquatic daring in crossing the Hellespont,
exhibit a singular conception of the chaste
and its converse. As a work of art, per
haps the group of "Centaurs and Celestials,"
in the initial room of the Academy, display
as much genius and ability in their author
as any achievement in the sculpture gallery;
even from these you turn wearily aside, and
again seek the lights and shadows of Ches
nut street; but ere you depart, our old friend
"Tam o'Shanter" and his drouthy cronies,
greet you with a parting "smile," and you
leave them with a pleasure playing around
your heart, fur
Joining the multitude that throngs the
sidewalk of a sunny afternoon, I noon found
myself in front of Independence Hall,which
I entered at once. As I traversed its am
ple chambers, through which once snored
the towering spirits of the Revolution, the
echoes of my tread seemed to awaken the
story of my country'F tribulation and her
triumphs; while a troop of fancies, with
tender finger, busied themselves weaving
chaplets of renown to crown the imposing
shades which seemed to pervade the sacred
pile. Humbly, at this Mecca of Human
Freedom, did I invoke a blessing on my
country and her institutions, with a fervent
aspiration that they may illustrate to the
world by their purity and moral grandeur, the
truth that self-government is not incompat
ible with human happiness or national pros
perity. The walls of the old Hall are orna
mented with authentic portraits of many of
the prominent men who had engaged in the I
struggle which resulted in the independence
of the country; and as X . gazed upon their
"shadows on the srull," I could read, with
the light of History shedding lustre on their
brows, that stern and lofty patriotism which
inspired the high purposes and sublime re
solves of that band of heroes. But
'The bell strakesfire,"
It is the signal that demands dispatch;

the cars seem to dance with delightful con

din. But Reading is passed, and the cars
have become considerably depleted; the
noisy politician, or rather indiscreet sentinel
on the watch towers of liberty, for the want
of an auditor has forgotten that he "alters

had 107 or 701 votes on the Last ballot; the
shades of night have thickened to the hue of
my "inky cloak, good mother,"—two or
three burly drovers, who have talked a good

tion of slight dile% iations of pain, could make
no permanent impression on the disease.
'Tis true the doses he prescribed were al
most homoeopathic, probably on the princi
ple that if they did no good, they could do
little harm. Be that as it may, however, the
last week, I suffered greater pain than at
any previous time. I sent my son to bring
the Dr. in all haste, as I could bear such ex
cruciating torture no longer. The Dr. had,
unfortunately, or I should indeed rather
say fortunately, taken a sleighing trip, and
would not be home fur several days. This
set me to thinking; and I at once recollected
that I had a remedy lying in the house that
u b•ht n -wor a ..00d ur .ose. I told my
dose, I took barely half as much as would
lay on a three cent piece, in a table-spoon
full of water, with a few drops of vinegar,
and in less than two minutes the pain was
gone. I immediately fell into a doze, and
slept more comfortably than I had done du
ring the whole time of my illness. Though I
still find some pain lurking about my stom
ach occasionally, a half a tea-spoon full of
the powder will banish it "in less than no
time." From the severe and incessant vom
iting, my whole breast and abdomen still
feel very sore; for near three weeks not a
particle of nourishment would stay on my
stomach—nothing but cold, ice cold water
could I retain; I had the hiccoughs for
nine days and nights; and lost forty-one
pounds in weight in about three weeks.
But, thanks to a kind Prvidence, and the
old Horse Doctor ho first gave this remedy
to the world, I am now in a very fair way of
Tettin7 well.
My disease was Inflammation of the stom
erh, and the remedy Braudt Puller, 'Ger
man,'—ilese from an half a tea to a table
spoonful.
If I can, through this communication, in
duce a single patient who is afflicted with
any kind of inflammatory disorder, should
it even be a sore finger, to give it a trial, I
am fully under the impression that they
will never ho without it, to use in cases of
emergency
I now fully believe that had the Dr.on his
first visit, prescribed this simple remedy,
three days would have made me all right.
I could have attended to my business as
usual, and no body would base found out
that I had been unwell.
P. S.—lf desirable, I can send you the
formula for making it, but as many of the
druggists keep it ready prepared, this is
perhaps unnecessary.
A friend to suffering humanity.

For the CUIUMbi. Spy
Ma. EDITOR—I dined with my old friend,
Dr. Filbert, yesterday, when I met Dr. Atlee;
of Lancaster, to whom this was my first in
troduction, and whom 1 found easy of access,
communicative, friendly and gentlemanly.
After dinner the doctors, accompanied by
Mr. L. Trodenick and myself,proceeded to the
residence of Mr. P.Hamilton, for the purpose
of removing a cancer from the right breast
of Mrs. Eliza Host, of Bainbridge. The op
eration was performed by Dr. F. in an incred
ibly short time, and reflected great credit on
the operator. The entire breast was remo
ved—a mass of flesh weighing nearly four
pounds. Doubtless Dr. Filbert possesses
more than ordinary skill in surgery; in many
critical operations success has attended him,
and where an operation is necasenry I believe
he may be safely employed.

EDITORIAL GLEANINGS,
Gaosl SUPERSTI7IOI7.+At the execution of
Hubbard, a few days ago, in Wabash coun
ty, Indiana, for the murder of the French
family, after he was entirely dead, the en
closure was taken down, and more than five
hundred persons went in and touched him,
giving as their reasons for so doing that it
would in the future protect them from witch
eraft. The rope that he was hung with,
the crowd afterwards took, cut it up in
small pieces, and divided it among them, to
act as a charm in protecting them in future
from the ague and all other diseases.
THE lifonumv DANGER.-It is now four or
five years since the government of the United
States was fully informed that the communi
ty located in the vicinity of Salt Lake was
of such a character and organization as to be
inimical to the Republic, and to be, in fact,
as much an enemy in our midst as a hostile
tribe of Indians; and yet it has done nothing
to check the danger. A civil war, the blood
iest the United States has ever been engaged
in, will mark the reduction of these beastly
fanatics.
TUE FAMINE. AT TEE CAPE DE VERDES--
The editor of the Portsmouth (Va.) Tran
script has been informed by Dr. Barclay, of
the U. S. ship Dale, that the inhabitants of
San Antonio, Cape de Verdes, numbering
about 30,000, are actually in a state of star
vation. For want of other provisions they
were killing and eating all their jackasses,
&c., and were really in a most deplorable
condition. The officers of the Dale, have
been eye witnesses of the intense sufferings
of these people. tl
A GALLANT LAD.—Two young men resi
ding in Granville, Vt., a few days since,
traced several bears to their den in a cave
upon the Green Mountains. While one of
the hunters stood guard, the other, named
Robbins, sixteen years of age, entered the
cave armed with a double-barreled pistol,
and succeeded in killing three bears with
-M it receiving a wound himself.
FA LSE.—The report stated in a Cincinnati
paper, that the her. Mr. Harlan, of the
Methodist Conference, had charged Bishop
Hamlin with having been guilty of seduc
tion, and that ecclesiastical proceedings had
been commenced accordingly, is pronounced
to he utterly unfounded.
