I do this the more readily in fegard to Ifootland's German Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. di.

The use of three bottles of these Bitters', at the-he ginning of the present year, was followed by evident relief. and restoration to a degree of bodily and remit tal vigor which I had not felt for six months before, and had almost despaired of regaining. I therefore thank God and my friend for directing me to the use of them J N.EW TON BROWN. PIULAD'A., Jeer, 23 1661. Particular Notice.

By their use the system is kept continually under the influence otAlcoltelic Stim ulants of the worst kind, the desire fur Liquor is crea ted anti kept up, and the result is all the horrors at tendant upon a drunkard's life and death.

AND THE FRIENDS OF SOLDIERS. We call the attention of all having relations nod friends in the army to the feet that —IIOOFLAND'S German Bitters" will cure nine tenths of the diseases induced by exposures and privations incident to camp life. In the lists. published almost daily in the news papers. on the arrival of the s , ck, it will be noticed that a very large proportion are suffering from debili ty. Every case of that kind can be readily cared by lloolland's German Bitters. Diseases resulting from disorders of the digestive targy ns are speedily removed. We have no hesitation instating that, it these Bitters were freely used among our soldiers. hundreds of lives might be saved that otherwise will be lost. We call particular attention to the following re: markable and well authenticated cure of one of the nation's heroes, whose to use his own language, "bats been saved by the Bitters :" PIMATOMPOIA, August 23rd, 1862. 1 Messrs. Jena &Daum—Well, gentlemen, your Hoof an the German Bitters has saved my life. There is no mistake in this. It is vouched fir by numbers of my comrades, some of whose nano are appended, and who were fully cognizant of all the circumstances of my case I am, and have been far the last four years, a member of .Shernian's elebrated battery, and under the immediate command of Captain R. B. As res.— Threugh the exposure attendant upon my arduous du ties. I was attacked in November last with inflammation of the lungs, and was for seventy-two days in the hos pital. This was followed by great debility, heighten ed by an attack of dysentery. I was then removed from the White !louse, and sent to this city on board the Steamer .-State of Maine" from which I landed on the 23th of Jane. Simla that titre 1 have been a bout as low as any one could be and still retain a spark alvitality. For a week or more I was scarcely able to swallow anything, and if 1 did three a morsel down, it was immediately thrown up again. I could not even keep a glass of water on my stom ach . Life could not last under these circumstances; and, accordingly, the physicians who had been work ing Mithfully, though unsuccessfully, to rescue ma from the grasp of 'the dead Archer, frankly told me they could do noMore for me, and advised me to see a clergyman, and to Make such disposition of my limi ted funds as best suited me. An acquaintaece who visited me at the hospital, Mr. Frederick Stelubrom 0 Sixth below Arch Street, ad , islet me, as a forlorn hope, to try your Bitters, and kindly procured a hot. tle. From the time I commenced taking them the gloomy shadow of death receded, and 1 am now, thank Cod for it, getting better. Though I have but taken two bottles, 1 have gained ten pounds, aud I feel san guine of being Pa rattled to rejoin my wife and daugh ter, from whom I have heard nothing for 18 months: for, gentlemen, I am a loyal Virginian, front the vicin ity of Front Royal. To your invaluable Bitters I owe the certainty of life which has taken the place of vague fears—to your.

NUMBER SIXTY-EIGHT. The 930 P. m, train had left me on the platforitl of the Carlisle station ; I was on ray way - to Glosgow, and had resolved to break the journey by sleeping at the Railway Hotel, because it had a convenient entrance lroai the platform. As f was seeing my luggage•put on a truck a middle aged, portly man, of like manner, and with a fine voice, came up to where I stood, and commenced an elaborate search among the pile of baggage for a trunk he had loat—a black trunk with white dial - ponds on it. .He expressed. himself vexed and distressed at hav ing lost it, and seemed quite 'unable to determine what course to pursue. I sympathised whith him, and went with him to the telegraph office, where be telegraphed to Dover for the post luggage. 'What hotel do you go to r said the stranger., in a deep, rich, comfor• table voice. I replied, 'To the Railroad Hotel as I leave by the 6:15 train in the morn ing for Glasgow' 'That is my train and my destina tion,' said the stranger ; 'so I will go to the same hotel.' He was a stout man, standing a, bove five feet seven, neatly dressed in a dark frock coat, lemon colored i\lar• sala, waiscoat, arid black neckcloth.— He wore the sharp standing collars of the last fashion but one, and he car ried an umbrella, a telescope and an air cushion in one hand, while the fingers of the other played. with a heavy steel watch chain. He was_a. Man with large, well defined features, busby eyebrows, and a rather coarse but humorous mouth. 'When he lift. ed his hat I saw that he was rather bald, and had a scar high on his left temple. 'Beds?' the lady at the hotel bar, running her finger up and down a black multiplication table covered with white figures, with mysterious keys hanging below each of them, like fruit on the stem. While she was pursuing this task with the air of conferring a favour rather than of welcoming guests, the stranger, who bad already introduced himself to me as Air. Thistlewood, whispered in my ear : 'Do the custom house officers take bribes?' saw, of conrep, that,, he meant this a joke, and I laughed. .„. 'Of course not,' I said. 'They'll pass our luggage directly.' Mr. Thistlewood was evidently a born humorist, for not the slightest return smile dimpled his face as ho replied 'Well, so I thought; they'll search it more completely, I suppose when we get - to Excellent satirist ; he meant to ridi cule our absurd custom house restric tions, and to glance incidentally at the speed of modern traveling, as if Carlisle were only the first station on some great and perilous journey we were about to undertake. ,Sixty seven and sixty eight, John,' said the lady, handing the keys to the porter, who instantly shouldered my trunk and began to ascend the stair case. , Would you order dinner sir Y' he said, as he let the portmanteau drop at door 67. 'Dinner for two,' I answered, gland• ing at my new friend, 'and as soon as possi 'What'll you have, sir ?' 'Soup, a whiting or so, and a roast fowl.' 'Exactly,' said my friend. 'Sorry, sir,' said the 'porter to Mr. Thistlewood, 'that there is no glass in your room, sir ; chambermaid broke it yesterday; get you ono di. redly, sir.' 'No, no, no, no,' said Toy compan ion, rather irritably, '1 never allow glass in my room. Bring a glass and I leave the house.' As he said this he smiled at me, as much ,as to say this a joke of mine to startle the por ter. 'Oh, of course not, if you don't wish sir,' said the porter, shutting rue in 67; and leading Mr. Thistlewood into No. GS.

No; that, on second - consideration, I thought unadvisable, for should I be mistaken in my companion's identi ty, I should lay myself open for an action of defamation; false imprison ment, or some other horrible thing of that. kind. Besides, madmen were only dangerous, I said to myself, un der provocation, and on their special topics, Ile might fancy himself .Emperor of China, or a land turtle, a washing basin, or a cucumber; but there was no great harm in that ; no I would shake off these fears—per haps, after all, utter groundless—lock the doors, and sleep soundly until Boots called me for the early train. Once away in the train, I could easi ly cross-examine my companion in such a way as to elicit his insanity, if it really existed, and could then act accordingly. 1 determined, however, before go ino to bed, to reconnoiter, so I quiet. .Iy, stole bare foot to the door of com munication. between the two bed• rooms in order to liaten. I put my eas to the chink, and could hear a drowsy voice, as of a man alMost asleep droning nonsense verses and weights and measures. Thus t 'lf A is to B What D is to According to Bohn's deductions, Then F is to me What 0 is to P That's my theory of comic flue tions' Then the voice stopped like a clock work run out. A moment after it continued, more drowsily : • 'Ten gold itehebus equal ten gold copangs, Fifteen mass equal ono itehebo, One oban equal three . copangs, One kodama equal fifteen conclor i nes, Ono manogoga equal ten thousand iekmagoga, One tattamy equal Here the voice stopped, and a tre meniious sonorous snore followed.— The man was mad, that was evident; bUt he was harmless, and he was a sleep. I felt in the darkness—for 1 had blown out my candle—for the key. There was none ; so I contended my. self with quietly placing two chairs in such a way as that no one could open the door without moving them and awakening me. I then took out the key of my bed room door; plac ed it under iny pillow and jumped in. to bed. For some twenty minutes 1 sat up listening to the heavy snoring of Mr. Thist!wood. I theA lay down, fell asleep, and dreamed. Presently a low creaking noise awoke mo, and I started. up in my bed. Yes, it was the maniac 1 There was the chairs moving slowly back, and there was the door opening wider and wider. Well, he might he restless and curious, and yet mean no harm ; he might be sleep-walking, and yet be amiable and tractable. My bed iv as far from the door, so I turner my bead towards the door, rolled in the bed clothes, leaving only one eye clear, and lay as still as a mummy The door opened, and Thistlewood entered on tiptoe. He was in his long night gown but there was noth ing else spectral about him. He had his boots on, his face was red, and his smile was as pleasant as over. It was just daybreak. and the cold pure gray light showed him clearly to me as be pulled.up the blinds and looked around with great- curiosity but perfect composure. He was talking to himself. 'Kepler,' he said, 'you invented the pendulum. Bacon, you discovered turtle-soup. Rum ford, you invented the patentsbaving box. But yon are all fools compared to me, for I discov. ered the egg-whipping machine, the oyster-opener, the knife cleaner, and Belt's brandy.' All of a sudden. the reflection of himself in- my pier glass caught his eye, and the sight of it seemed to drive him ' to fiiry. He lifted his right foot and drove it through the glass, which shivered into ,tboallaoa .pieces. ; ,Thenia a Tcomeat he ,brllke the logs off two ehaiia,, and shattered WHOLE 'Nth 157 _ • , t;he second ' glass, the washing, jog, - and t'lle‘glaiaover the fire place. know yeti,' he cried, 41 know you!

Then, "gazing at a huge hatchet shaped fragment of plate grass, ho cried looking toward my bed : 'But where is that wretch who de hie,d last nialit that I invented -per petual motion rt vas te Whe'filled this room with images 'to vex and dog me. Stop 1: I'll go and get my razor; it'll do it 'cleaner' 4 ' The moment he darted into his room I leaped out of bed, rushed in to the corridor, and quickly locked my door on the outside. Then I tried the key in his, and finding it fitted I locked his door too. 1. heard him scream and howl,drag down the bed curtains, and rushed at the door, and kicked,? thumped, and cut at the wood with his razor, as he cried : Forty days have I been in the wil derness. Newton, let me out, and bring me a boiled pelican; Kelper, some brandy-and-water; and tell the landlord, Flainstead, there's a man run away here without paying for hie bed. Cut his throat, I tell you, for be says I didn't discover perpetu al motion !' I ran to the end of the corrider, where some twenty hells hung. I beat on them all, till every person in the hotel came to my help—landlord, waiters, chambermaids, ostlers, guests everybody. I told ,theur of my nar• row escape, and Of the madman, and we then arranged to secure him—by flinging blankets over him when we opened the door and rushed in. We did secure the man after a tore mendous,struggle for his strength was superhuman. We then tied his hands behind him, and sent for the police to put a straight•waistcoat on him to take him into custody. Next day his keepers arrived , and took charge of him. It appeared that he was a professor of St. Bee's, seien • Otte inventor, who had gone mad partly from over study, but still more from being rejected by a lady. Ev er since thatrejection, be had inken it. into his head that hewils so duper anly hideous that no one, male or female, could bear to look at him; and he had in consequence taken a marked hatred to all mirrors and looking glasses, which he had made a rule of destroying wherever he found them. A MONSTER IMPROVEMENT, Erection of Two Hundred and Forty _Dwellings. The greatest improvement of the age is that which is now progressing in the northern section of Philadel phia, consisting of the erection of no less than two hundred and fifty dwell ing houses on the site formerly oceu• pied by Camac's Woods. The build. ings stand in eight rows, in Eleventh street, Marvine street, 12th street, Caruso street, and 13th street each one extending from Montgomery to Berks streets. The buildings in the main are all constructed alike, those on the corners being fitted up for stores, They are all three stories in height, with small grass plots in front, surrounded with neat and handsome iron- railing.. They con tain all the modern improvements of the day, being supplied with gas, bath rooms, and many other conve niences. Each house contains on the first floor a large saloon-,, parlor, dining room and kitchen. The up per stories contain a sittingroom and four bedrooms, with a back stair en trance. The corner houses on Berks street have largo bow windows on the first and second stories, with a ten foot side yard. Taken all togeth er, the houses are commodius and roomy, and such as are now needed and much sought after. The row on Eleventh street, it is calculated, will he ready for occupa tion in two weeks, while the whole block will be completed by the first of next May. This is, without doubt, one of the most gigantic enterprises ever undertaken in that city. The construction of these dwellings will populate a section of the city, here tofore nothing but barren lots, and will much increase the value of real estate in that neighborhood, thus stimulating others to engage in sim ilar enterprises. Besides this, a great improvement of this kind gives em ployment to hu ndreds df workmen - - the,most deserving class of our corn inanity, and irivolves in it the invest ment elan immense capital. Those who have not visited that section since the commencement of these buildings could scarcely realize the change. The place was formerly a great wood, and was a favorite place of resort for parties, picnics, &c.— The wood has now disappeared arid in its place stands a group.of neat brick houSes, which on account of their similarity present a pleasing picture to the spectator. As soon as these buildings are finished, the same party contemplate the erection of , One hundred'and eighty more of ta larger size and'Of more cost. They will occupy, lots irinnediately north of the ,present: ones. H404.E8:'13 DEFEAT AT RING G9Ll). Many of the most respectable West= #t AFAMILY PAP4R. FORTOWN AND CGIDNTRY.

LOST JEWELS The death of an obscure German artist; and the recent revival before one of the Paris courts of the celebrated diamond necklace cause celebre, bring to mind a singular adventure which caused some years ago great scandal at the Court of Munich. Before Lola Montez went to the capital of Bavaria, King Louis' atten tion was attracted by a German prima donna, Charlotte Kendrick. One morning King Louis discovered, as he crossed the palace nursery, the floor of the room cov ered with his children's toys; among them were several doll babies. He was then on his way to Charlotte Kendrick's rooms. He thought that a single doll would scarcely be missed among the na -, merous toys which filled the floor. He put one of them, the first he could lay hit hands upon, in his pocket. When he reached Charlotte Kendrick's lodgings he gave the doll to her child, and forgot everything about it. While the King was closeted with the prima donna, the palate was in an indescribable state of confusion. A great robbery was discovered to have been committed in the Queen's bedchamber. A valuable turquoise, surrounded with enormaus dia monds, and worth above $20,000, had been purloined. The enfortunrie occur rence was concealed as lorig as possible from the king, for he had given the jeivel to his wife, and prized it extretnely. It could not be kept longer from likn, and the moment he was informed of it he sent for the police, and ordered that no pains should be spared to discover the culprits whom he vowed should be severely pun; ished. Several servants were arrested upon suspicion. A state concert was given that same evening. All the diplomatic corps and the most distinguished company of court were present. The daring robbery com mitted in the morning was the subject of general conversation. The turquoise was familiar to everybody in the court theatre. Charlotte Kendrick appeared in the third piece; it was some favorite, bra vura from a grand opera. She, wad dressed in light-blue silk, trimmed with white lace. She advanced to the front of the stage and bowed to the sovereigns, and then to the other spectators. As she rose from the profound obeisance made; all eyes were riveted with astonishment upon her stomacher; there glittered the royal gem lost that morning! A buzz of wonder ran around the room. The King blushad deeply. He saw at once how the alleged theft had oc cured. His children, finding the breast= pin on the royal table, thrust it into the dress of their favorite doll. He had not observed it, and had given it with the doll to the prima donna's daughter. Charlotte Kendrick did not see the valuable breast pin until after the King's departure. She thought he had, for delicacy, adopted this indirect way to make her a valuable pres ent; and to thank him aS delicately she wore it next her heart at the state concert. The King was obliged to confess what had taken place, to explain the Mistake to the prinia donna, who with a heavy heart sur= rendered the valuable trinket The palace servants were at once released with a val uable gratuity in money to compensate Ihem for their imprisonment. .
