Vln race ate subject to a redundancy of vitiated bile,
at this season, and. it is as dangerous as it is prev
alent, but Brandreth's Pills afford an invaluable and
efficient protection. By their occasional use we prevent
the collection of those impurities, which, when in sniff
dent quantities, cause so much danger to the body's
health. They'soon enre liver complaint,dyspepsia,loss
of appetite, pain in the head, heart burn, pain in the
breastbone, sudden faintness and costiveness. In brief,
Brandreth's Pills work their way to the very roots of
the disease, cleansing in their passage, removing every
unhealthy accumulation till the blood is purified, the
whole system renovated, and the functions and duty of
life become a pleasure, where before they bad been sad
and weary burdens. Often . when,,Vhing e • „
vomiting of theApitwhi!, ,
sea-siekness 'or otherwise, *here`tila latching bins been
appalling, a single dose of four Brandreth's Pills has at
once cured and the patient has fallen into a sweet sleep.
When the mind cannot collect itself; when the memory
fails; when it is an effort to fix the attention ; when our
sleep is broken and our waking hours harassed with
forebodings of evil,then Brandreth's Pills should be used.
If these warnings remain unheeded, rheumatism, con
sumption, disease of the heart, bilious affections, jaun
dice, drops les, piles, appoplexies and coati veness will sud
denly present thawed ves. These Brandreth's Pills would
have prevented,bnt nevertheless Tana they will also cure.
Use them at once; do notiet prejudice prevent the use
of this simple but potent remedy.
Brandreth's Theory of Disease.
Never extract blood. Blood is the life. By abstract-
ing it in painful diseases you may occasion the patient
ease, but remember, this ease is only the reduction or
lessening the power to feel. And by thus taking away
nature's Loeb, you may prevent her from fully repairing
the ravages of inflammation, a convert what might only
have been the sickness of a few days or weeks into a
chronic affection of months and years.
Brandreth's Pills accord with 'Velure !
Nature'i remedy in fact. When sudden, acute or con
tinued pain occurs (coin any cause, then to insures quick
return to health, you must use Brandreth's Pills, which
will soon relieve everyorgan from undue pressure, and
remove those humors whose presence often occasions
such terrible suffering.

Is the great Continental REMEDY for Siphilis and Secon
dary symptoms. It also constitutes a certain cure for
Scurvy, Scrofula, and all cutaneous Eruptions, removing
and expelling in its course all impurities from the vital
stream, so as altogether to eradicate the virus of disease,
and expel It by insensible perspiration through the me
diem of the pores of the skin and urine.
It is a never failing remedy for that class of disorders
which English Physicians treat with Mercury, to the in
evitable destruction of the patient's constitution, and
which all the Sarsaparilla in the world cannot remove.

BALLOONING AND PM/ACHIM/NG.-
The Philadelphia papers say that many
thousand people assembled at Lemon
Hill, on Monday afternoon, to witness
a balloon and parachute display which
the Messrs. Godard had, announced to
come off there. The balloon ascended
beautifully carrying two passengers be
sictes the elder Godard. Beneath it was
the parachute, at the extremity of which
hung the younger Godard. As the par
ty ascended, those in the car of the bal
loon waved hats and flags, while the dar
ing occupant of the parachute cut up all
sorts of capers, much to the alarm of
those who looked on. Away sailed the
big globe, and its tail, the parachute,
while the intrepid 'fellow who hung to
the latter, still performed a variety of
feats. At last, when both had reached
an attitude of, as wefshould think, four
or five thousand feet, the balloon began
to descend, and the big umbrella be
neath it to open. Then the twain part
ed company, the balloon darting- up
ward into the air, and the parachute de
scending most gracefully towards the
earth. The crowd were enraptured,
though there was not a single cheer
went up. We saw it in their eyes.—
The expression seemed to say, "I've
had my , money's worth." For a time
some thought there was to be no para
chute descent, and grumbled "humbug."
The result, however, showed them that
they were mistaken. The balloon and
its companions took a westerly direction
from Lemon Hill ; the former went on
towards Media, while, the parachute
must have alighted a few miles west of
the Schuylkill.

A metal having so many of the char.

into the hands of dishonest men. The
public need to be on their guard in the
purchase of gold chased ware and gold
dust. It is an easy matter to transport
a metal to California which costs but
eighty cents a pound ; and it would be
quite as easy for a dishonest man to mix
the cheap material with the costly.

he most extensive hrickmaking es
tablishment on this continent is located
in North Cambridge, Mass. When in
full operation, it manufactures, on an
average, one hundred and eighty-seven
thousand bricks per day, ()reboot twen
ty-four millions during the season! The
wood used in burning this immense
quantity is the best Nova Scotia, and a
mounts to over three thousand cords.
The clay is taken from a pit, which is
about forty feet deep. It is raised in
a car on an inclined plane by steam
power, when it is taken on railroad
track to the several pits, where it is
made into bricks. The clay is worked
by steam power, which requires a sec

reaches about a quarter of a mile.
STRUCK nir cipuTrurio.--Franklin and
Marshall College, Lancaster,was struck
by lightning some time during the pres
ent vacation, the fact not having been
discovered immediately, owing to, the
building being unoccupied. The Ex
press says, "Although the charge , was
apparently heavy, no damage whatever
was done to the building, owing to the
completeness of precautions taken to
guard against injury from the electric
fluid. The building is guarded by three
lightning roils, which were erected un•
der the superintendence of Professor
Porter, upon modern plans and the most
approved scientific principles, and the
test to which the building has been sub
jected proves the value of the arrange
ment. These three fads all converge
to a given point, and communicate with
the bottom of the well near the build
ing. The lightning struck the point of
the rod above the tower, slightly bend
ing the iron, followed the course of the
rod in its various turnings down and
over the building, knocking off one or
two of the fastenings, and spending its
force on the water in .the well. This
instance shows the importance of hav
ing lightning rods properly connected,
probably one-half of those put up in
the country being useless, owing to the
careless manner in which they are con
nected with the earth."

"ESCAPE FROM SLAVERY."-WC per
ceive an article going thr rounds of the
Abolition papers, purporting to be the
narrative of a negro who has just arriv
ed in New York, having escaped from
Southern 'slavery, where he had been
illegally detained for a period of forty
years. It is interesting if true, but what
appears most improbable, is, that he had
purchased himself several times at
prices amounting in the aggregate to
several thousand dollars. If he was a
ble to accumulate such a sum from his
own earnings while a slave, we think
the South would gain by a comparison
with the North, where a free negro may
toil a life long for the abolitionists, and
when dead not have enough money to
pay for his coffin.

Tux STRENGTH or DELHL—The Paris

strength of Delhi :
Delhi, at the moment of the breaking

products of the cannon founderies of
the Kassifouri, and the gun carriages
and artillery materials manufactured at
Fattiohghar, and those of the celebrated
power mills of Ichpoure. Independent
of the heavy ordinance on the ramparti,
it had in store 600 heavy guns of the
calibre of from 18 to 24-pounders, in
tended to supply the different forts of
the North-eastern provinces of the Cal

field artillery, of the calibre of from 7
to 9, and 95 obuses and 70 mortars.—
The store. of projectiles and munitions
was also very considerable. The Indi
an artillery ought to have a well merited
reputation, and all these guns were in
excellent condition.
DO ANIMALS REASONI—..Ono Of OUr
friends in Ridley, has two horses which
go to the pump in his barn yard almost

One of these animals commenced this
singular feat last summer, and since
then has !earned his fellow to go through
the same operation. It is really amus
ing to see one of the horses put his
mouth to the nozzle of the pump, while
the other is engaged in drawing water.
The handle of the pump is of wood, and
the end used by the horses has been
greatly gnawed off. The above fact can
be authenticated by numerous respecta
ble persons who have witnessed the
horses drawing water whut their ne
cessities required it. Is nalf the state- .
