FATAL ACCIDENT. —We regret to learn
from the Lancaster Union that on Saturday
a week Abraham Lind, only brother of
Win. Lind of this place, while assisting in
the sawmill at Wabank, four miles from
Lancaster, was killed under the following
circumstances: It appears that Mr. Lind
and a Mr. Wolf were sawing material for
pale fences, and owing to some unknown
circumstance, Lind let go the piece on one
side of the saw before his companion took
hold of the ether end—the piece was caught
in the saw and thrown back with great vi
olence, striking him first on the arm and
then on the chest, killing him instantly.
By this sad accident a wife and two chil
dren have been bereft of their main sup
nort.
RANDOM ITEMS. —A Lutheran friend
■uggests that it would be good policy for the
fficial board of the Church to declare all
jews vacant at the end of each year, giv
ng a renewal to those who have paid their
eats, and throwing all others open to
hose wishing to take them. Ilayti has
gain been making some work for the
:ourt. From what we hear, it is probable
hat the extent of the law will be meted
oat at the next term to witnesses, prosecu
tors and defendants from that quarter.
Franciseus has an assortment of Hardware,
Cutlery, and hundreds of other matters in
hi- extensive establishment, well worth ex
amination. If in want of anything except
dry tods or groceries, better call and look
aroun 1. Lind has lately visited the city
and laid in a stock of cloths, cassimeres,
vesting--, Ac., suitable for the season, by
which "gentlemen" can be manufactured
at of any kind of m aterial with two legs.
The weather was quite pleasant last
week, lut a succession of heavy rains have
anin rendered fires necessary. The river
rose rapidly on Tuesday, overflowing the
tow path below town, and 110 doubt causing
sundry breaks in the canal.
£<aif*The court we learn hive granted a
petition of many citizens of Decatur to

as a place can be obtained. Its present lo

CONDENSED MILK. —The Soldiers' Aid
s oeiety of Cleveland have published the
following receipt for preparing condensed
roilk, an article highly needed for use in
" ;e Hospitals : Take new milk warm from
the cow, strain it. To each quart add a
pound of fine white sugar; pour the sugar

simmer slowly until it is like a thick ropy
Let it cool. When perfectly cool

Interesting Astronomical Fact.
' persons were born at the same place,
the same moment of time. After an
a 2e of fifty years they both died, also at
the same spot, and at the same inßtant, yet,
ee of them lived one hundred days more
than the other. How was this possible ?
- ot to keep our friends in suspense, the
' -ution turns on a curious, but, with a very
e reflection, a very obvious point in cir
;'Navigation. A person going round
" world to the west, loses a day, and to
ward the east, he gains one. Supposing
" n two persons born at Cape of Good
Hope, whence a voyage around the world j
may be performed in a year; if one per- 1
form this constantly towards the west, in
fifty one years he will be fifty days behind
the stationary inhabitants; and if the other
sail equally east, ho will be fifty days in
advance of them. One,therefore, will have !
seen one hundred days more than the oth
er, though they were born and died at the ;
same place, and at the same moment, and
even lived continually in the same latitudes
and reckoned by the same calendar.
Deaths of Distinguished Persons.
PRINCE WINDISCHGRAETZ.
Prince Alfred Windischgraetz, of Aus
tria, whose death is reported by the Euro
pean arrival of Tuesday, was at one time
Commander-in-chief of the Austrian armies. !
He was born on the 11th of May, 1787,
and was, therefore, 75 years of age at the
time of his death. On the maternal side,
the Prince was descended from the great
Duke of Friedland. He plumed himself
on the purity of his descent; was an absolu
tist and reactionary in politics ; and during
the revolutionary movements of 1848, in
the summer of that year, he led the armies
which bombarded Prague, Pesth, and the j
Austrian Capital in succession. The Prince i
succeeded, sixty years ago, to his father's
title, and married in 1817 a Princess of i
the house of Schwarzenberg, by whom he j
had six childten. His name will only be
remembered in connection with the repres
sion of Liberty.
COUNT NR9SELRODE.
Ihe death of Count Nesselrode is an
nounced by the arrival from Europe on
Tuesday. Karl Robert von Nesselrode
was born on board a Russian frigate, in the
port of Lisbon, December 14, 1780. He
was descended from a noble German family,
long settled in the provinces of the Lower
Rhine, who were made at the beginning of
the 18th century Counts of the Empire.—
He began his career in the military service,
but early became attached to the various
embassies of his father, and subsequently
the leading diplomatist of Russia. In 1844
he was promoted to the rank of Chancellor
of the Empire. He conducted the foreign
affairs of the country until July 30, 1856,
four months after the signing ot the Treaty
of Peace at Paris, since which time he
lived in retirement.

ABOLITION OF SLAVERY IN THE
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
Special Message of the President.
FELLOW CITIZENS of the Senate and House
oj Representatives: The net entitled "An
Act for the release of certain persons held to
service or labor in the District of Columbia,"
has this day been approved and signed.
I have never doubted the constitutional au
thority of Congress to abolish slavery in this
District, and I have ever desired to see the
National Capital freed from the institution in
some satisfactory way; hence there has never
been in my mind any question upon the sub
ject except the one of expediency arising in
view of all the circumstances. If there be
matters within and aboutthis act which might
have taken a course or shape more satisfac
tory to my judgement, I do not attempt to
, specify them. I am gratißed that the two
principles of compensation and colonisation
are both recognized and practically applied
|in the act. In the matter of compensation it
is provided that claims may be presented
within ninety days from the'passage of the
act, but not thereafter; and there is no pro
vision fur minors, feme covert, insane orabsent
persons. 1 presume that this is an omission,
| by mere oversight, and I recommend that it
La supplied by an amendatory or supplemen
j tal act.

CATHARTIC PILLS
OPERATE by their powerful influence on the
Ihterhal viscera to purify the blood and stimu
late it itito healthy action. They remove the
obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver, aother
organs of the body, and, by restoring tlieir irregular
action to health, correct, wherever they exist, such
derangements as ate the first causes of disease.
An extensive trial of their virtues, hv Professors,
Physicians, and Patients, has shown cures of dan
gerous diseases almost beyond belie I ', were they not
substantiated by persons of stlch exalted position
and character as to forbid the suspicion of untruth.
Their certificates are published in my American
Almanac, which the Agents below named are
pleased to furnish free to all inquiring.
Annexed we give Directions tor their "t !n the
complaints which they have been found to cure.
FOR COSTIVBNKSS. —Take one or two i'ills, or
such quantity as to gentlv move the bowels. Cos
tiveness is frequently the aggravating cause of
PILES, and the cure of one complaint is the cure
of both. No person can feel well while under a
costive habit of body. Hence it should be, as it
can be, promptly relieved.
FOR DYSPEPSIA, which is sometimes the cause
Of Costiveneas, and always uncomfortable, take mild
doses —from one to four to stimulate the stomach
and liver into healthy action. They will do it, and
the heartburn, body burn, and sonlbitrti of dyspepsia
will rapidly disappear. When it has gone, don't
forget what cured you.
For a FOUL STOMACH, or Morbid Inaction of the
Bowels, which produces general depression of the
spirits and bad health, take from four to eight Pills
at first, and smaller doses afterwards, until activity
and strength is restored to the system.
FOR NERVOUSNESS, SICK HEADACHE, NAUSEA,
Pain in the Stomach, Back, or Side, take from four
to eight pills on going to bed. If thev do not oper
ate sufficiently, take more the next day until tnev
do. These complaints will be swept out from the
system. Don't wear these and their kindred dis
orders because your stomach is foul.
FOR SCROFULA, ERYSIPELAS, and all Diseases
of the Skin, take the Pills freely and frequently, to
keep the bowels open. The eruptions will gener
ally soon begin to diminish and disappear. Many
dreadful ulcers and sores have been healed up by
the purging and purifying effect of these Pills, and
some disgusting-diseases which seemed to saturate
the whole system have completely yielded to their
influence, leaving the sufferer in perfect health.
Patients! your duty to society forbids that you
should parade yourself around the world covered
with pimples, blotches, ulcers, sores, and all or any
of the unclean diseases of the skin, because your
system wants cleansing.
To PURIFY THE BLOOD, they are the best medi
cine ever discovered. They should be taken freely
and frequently, and the impurities which sow the
seeds of incurable diseases will be swept out of the
system like chaff before the wind. By this property
they do as much good in preventing sickness as by
the remarkable cures which they are making every
where.
LIVER COMPLAINT, JAUNDICE, and all Bilious
Affections arise from some derangement either
torpidity, congestion, or obstructions of the Liver.
Torpidity and congestion vitiate the bile and render
it unfit for digestion. This is disastrous to the
health, and the constitution is frequently under
mined by no other cause. Indigestion is the symp
tom. Obstruction of the duct which empties the
bile into the stomach causes the bile to overflow
into the blood. This produces Jaundice, with a
long and dangerous train of evils. Costiveness, or
alternately costiveness and diarrhcea, prevails.
Feverish symptoms, languor, low spirits, weariness,
restlessness, and melancholy, with sometimes in
ability to sleep, and sometimes great drowsiness;
sometimes there is severe pain in the side ; the skin
and the white of the eyes become a greenish yellow;
the stomach acid; the bowels sore to the touch;
the whole system irritable, with a tendenrr to fever,
which may turn to bilious fever, bilious colic, bilious
diarrhoea, dysentery, Ac. A medium dose of three
or four Pills taken at night, followed by two or three
in the morning, and repeated a few days, will remove
the cause of ail these troubles. It is wicked to suffer
such pains when you can eurc them for 26 cents.
RHEUMATISM, GOUT, and all Inflammatory Pe
ters are rapidly cured by the purifying effects of
these Pills upon the blood and the stimulus which
they afford to the vital principle of Life. For these
and all kindred complaints they should le taken in
mild doses, to move the bowels gently, but freely.
As a DINNER PILL, this is both agreeable and
useful. No Pill can be made more pleasant to take,
and certainly none has been made more effectual to
the purpose" for which a dinner pill is employed.
