ITIHE only original and genuine article for the . 1 cure of Heaves, other complaints of the respi ratory apparatus and derangement of the digestive functions in the horse is KIRKBRIDDS TATTERSALL'S HEAV F. POWDERS. It is warranted to be perfectly safe in all cases, will not inconvenience the animal or injure him even if he has no disease; it is from .four to eight times cheaper than most of the imitations which are being circulated throughout the country, being put up in larger packages, sufficient to cure :any ordinary case of Heaves, and to administer in a dozen cases of cold, catarrh, fix. At this season, while the horse is shedding his coat his vital energy is much reduced, and he is extremely liable to colds, &c., many cases ofiincip ient Heaves are contracted now, but are suppressed by pasture or warm weather, till they break out in full force in the fall. Thousands of horses can be saved from future unsoundness, if when the first symptons of cold or wheezing is observed, a few doses of the Tattersall , s Heave Powders should be administered. They are warranted to wholly eradicate recent heaves at this season. Great Spring Purifier.—The Heave Powders given in small doses, will be found most useful at this season. They stimulate the skin to cast off the superfluous hair and produce new; they loosen the hide, give a glossy appearance to the coat, pro tect against disease; they also fbrm their fine alterative and restorative powers, purify the blood and renovate the whole system, which borses re quire at this season as much as any of the human race, who find a preparation of Sarsaparilla useful to correct a vitiated state of the fluids, incident to the change of weather, which in the spring affect all animal as well as vegetable life. INCREASING EVIDENCE.—Scarcely a day passes but we receive marks of approbation from our agents, and others who have used or sold the emedy. The lbllowing from our agent at Burlington, Vt., was received this morning: Mr. Flannagan of Middlebury, says he pur chased a package of you last tall, and gave to a valuable young horse that had the heaves, and it cured him entirely ; he is now perfectly sound. He has just bought a few more packages for other horses." A. C. SPEAR, Burlington, Vt. This was received yesterday morning: "Messrs. A. H. Gough 4- Co.—l have by chance procured one package of your Tattersall's Heave Powders, and have tried them on a horse of my own. I think it has entirely cured my horse to all appearances. Almost every man here thinks heaves cannot be cured, and to satisfy the people that they can, I will purchase six packages for 85, which is enclosed. Please send, &.e., to • EDWARD JONES, Clyde Glass Works, Clyde, N. V. In addition to the above and twenty other certifi cates which we have published, more than a hun dred . smilar ones can be adduced, but is impossible to Publish them all. The successful and immense use - of this popular Horse Remedy has rendered advertising unnecessary to establish it as the most useful and saleable horse medicine extant. CAUTION.—As is to be expected of every valua bla and popular remedy, numerous parasitical imi tations have sprung up, all of which expect to find support and sale from the popularity of this medi cine. This has been the case snore particularly in the middle and western parts of this State, but per sons are cautioned against all "HEAVE CURES," "HEAVE COSIPOUNDR," Sze., and to purchase no remedy but Kirkbride's Tattersall's Heave Powders, which is the article that is performing these won derful cures, and each package is signed Price Si per package—six for $5.

Nothing is so violent as steam, or so destructive as fire—yet art has made them sub servient to the necessities, the comforts, and even the elegancies of life. What so hard, so cold, and so insensible as Marble.? yet the Sculptor can warm it into life and bid it express the tenderest emotions. How variable is color how swift is light? and how empty is shade?—but the pencil of a Raphael can give these fleeting things both a body and a soul, and can confer upon them an imperishL able vigor,—a beauty that increases with age, and which must continue to captivate generations. How is it that Erben, at the Sign of the Striped Coat can have his Clothing made and trimmed so much better than the other Lancaster tailors and yet sell farcheaper than the rest of the trade! His clothing never rips, it is made of good material, and the fit of his garments can't be excelled, and the price this Spring is almost nothing. How can he afford to sell so low, how does he do it t These are questions often 'asked, and no doubt it seems wonderful, especially to the high price tailors,— but, impossible as it may appear, he has neverthe less succeeded in producing good Clothing cheaper than ever before known in Lancaster, in fact quite a revolution in prices; and so it should be. The public good demands still farther reform. No more dull plodding in the beaten track. This is an-age of progress. Innovation is•the order of the day, and the subscriber believing that the Art of Clothing the human form was yet in .its infancy and susceptible of great improvement, has devoted his entire energies to its perfection with a view to the reduction of prices so as to bring a fine suit of Clothes within the reach of all, and can confident ly recommend the "SIGN OF THE STRIPED COAT" as the cheapest Clothing Store in the World. • REUBEN ERBEN, United States Clothing Store, No. 35 North Queen SADDLE, HARNESS AND TRUNK • .

SULKEYS, PEDLAR WAGONS; SQUARE ' BODY WAGONS, s-c. DANIEL A. ALTICK April 18 WHOLESALE AND RETAIL MANUFACTORY Removal. Seitz's Safety Brldle,Blt. THIS is a safety Bridle Bit invented and secured' by Mr.. Henry Seitz, of Marietta, Pa. This Bit is expected to supersede eventually all others, either for riding or driving, combining, as it does, the common snaffle, so arranged with the pulley, as to give any person perfect power over the most vicious or frightened horse. It obviates the objec tions made to the severe bits now in use, which from their painful action, often make a spirited horse rear, kick and try to run away. This bit is pleasant in its action on the mouth, causing no pain whatever, and has the r. quisite power when wanted , —no horse having been found able to resist it. The operation is as follows: The rein is hooked firmly to the saddle at A, passing through the loop C, into the bit over the roller ,at B, and securing it fast to the ring D, which prevents it from drawing back and forms the check rein now In use, and to which-the driving reins are buckled and pass back to the driver. For horseback, the loops and rings are dispensed with, the rein being continuous, form ing two reins, one of which is thrown over the saddle horn or strapped to the pummel, and the other to the rider's hand—both reins can pass thro' the rings of a martingale. For ladies it is particu larly recommended on account of its safety and power, as a horse is by no means able to throw his head sufficiently low to kick. For double harness the reins should pass from the lst - horse over to the bit of the .20, through the bit and back to the the saddle piece at G, of the Ist horse—platting the reins as they cross each other between the horses. Horses have been successfully driven- with this bit, that were set aside as beyond management as harness horses with ordinary severe bits, from the habit or invariable practice of running away in spite of the utmost endeavors of their driver—now they are good and serviceable horses. The Bits are manufactured only by HALDEMAN St SEITZ, of Marietta, Pa., who will attend to all orders concerning the sale of •the same. 'The patent right of this invention has been secured, and it is corning fast into use. The undersigned is the Agent for Lancaster county, of the above Bit, and feels warranted in recommending it as a valuable invention.

Tho' 'fortune adverse, for his home, Has rais'd in state no splendid dome, Nor spread upon his board Delicious dainties—and his name, • Unblazon'd in the rolls of fame, Is last among the crowd. Yet calm content, around his head, Will still her genial influence shed; He envies not your lot! When day declining, night returns, And on his hearth one faggot burns, lie hastens to his cot. His infants, sportive round the fire, In lisping accents greet their sire, (While each alike's his care) With wahton gambolings strive to please, And eager climb his honor'd knees, The envied kiss to share. The greeting o'er, to rest he goes; Ambition breaks not his repose, Nor robs his soul of rest; For envy, hate, corroding care, The dire effects of fell despair, Are strangers to his breast. Can all your wealth—can all your power— (Those glitt'ring play-things of an hour) Bring happiness like this ? Can pompous. titles and estates, The fleeting gifts of Winded fates, Be reckon'd equal bliss No !—hence, ye vain delusive toys ! Ye poor, fantastic,-short-liv'd joys! Give me a conscience pure : Give me a mind content—serene— No cloud of guilt to intervene, My joys will still endure. aliseellaneotts. A Visit to Mount Vernon THE TOMB OF WASHINGTON. The editor of the Cleveland Herald, recently at Washington, has written some interesting letters. He visited Mount Vernon, and thus describes a spot so very cleaar to every American: The road from Alexandria to Mount Vernon at this, season of the year is nearly impassable, and a considerable portion of the distance is over a poor country. For some three miles as you approach Mount Vernon, there is hardly a dwelling. and the land is not worth cultivation. In entering the old plantation of Washington, containing over a thou sand acres of good soil, an ancient gateway, wad dilapidated porter's lodges are passed. The road leads through a rough ravine, and ascending a bank the lane terminates at a gate which opens imme diately upon the grounds surrounding the sacred and venerable mansion of the Father of his Country. On the right is a range of brick negro quarters, still occupied; but much decayed, and a brick wall enclosing one of Washington's gardens. The gar den is large and kept in good order. Forest trees and shrubbery nearly surrounded it, embracing a great variety of timber, and the trees, &c., planted by Gen. Washington, have been carefully guarded and preserved. The Mount Vernon Mansion stands on the high bank of the Potomac, and fronts the river. It is of wood, two stories high, ninety-six feet in length, with a portico to the roof extending the whole front. The outside is finished in imitation of stone, and the house is surmounted by a small cupola, with a gilded weather cock, which still retains much of its brightness. On each side of the main building are wings at a little distance, connected by a covered way supported by small pillars. One of the wing,is now a negro quarter, dilapidated and squalid enough in appearance. The central part of the Mount Vernon House was built by Lawrence Washington, brother to the General; the wings were added by the General, and the whole named after Admiral Vernon, under whom Lawrence Washington had served. The interior is wain scoted after the manner of those days, with the highly wrought cornices and shafts. On the ground floor are -six rooms—generally small, except the dining room, which is a spacious and hospitable hall.t In this is some of the ancient furniture of Washington, and the Library room remains as Wheri occupied by him. Over the door is the tele scope used by Gen. W., resting on the same hooks where he was used to replace it after viewing an approachino. sail. In front of the house and sloping towards the river, is a pretty lawn of several acres, ornamented with shade trees and shubbery. An ancient slim mer house stands on the bank of the river. and on the hill side towards the river, west of this, and about thirty rods from the mansion, is the vault where first rested the remains of Washington. It was built by his direction, and the door-way is now entirely gone. The cedars planted in the sods which covered it are withered. This 'vault over looked the Potomac, and was constructed of a coarse grained rotten sand-stone. which is fast crumbling away. A new vault has been built a short distance off, at a place selected by Washing ton, and thither his remains were removed a few years ago. It is enclosed by a high brick wall, and the front is brick with double open iron doors. Over the doors in a panel, is inscribed: WITHIN THIS ENCLOSURE REST THE REMAINS OF GEN. GEORGE WASHINGTON In view is a marble sarcophagus which contains the dust of Washington. The lid is wrought with the arms of his country. His name is his expres sive epitaph. By his side, a few feet distant, in a corresponding tomb, are the ashes of "MAnTus, consort of Washington." Venerable oaks and ever green cedars surround the tomb. It is a retired, picturesque spot; and is the Mecca of many a pil grim, as is evidenced by the numerous evergreen boughs tossed through the grated doors upon the sacred urn within. It is related that when La Fayette visited the tomb, he descended alone into the vault, and after a few minutes appeared, bathed in tears. The Ophir of Solomon. There is a large mountain called "Ophir ' says a recent traveller, contiguous to the coast of .Malac ca, and it abounds in gold. In sailing close along the shore at night, the air was perfumed as if with spices and frankincense. The whole country teems with rich and rare products. Sofala, on the con trary; is a low swampy territory; no mountain is visible ; gold is certainly obtained there, broUght from the interior, but there are no: spices, frankin cense or myrrh. Its latitude prohibits the growth of those articles, while Malacca is especially adap ted for them. The transition of the Jews from Malacca, up the coast, to China, was an easy mat ter; indeed, the Chinese themselves visited the Red Sea and Persian Gulf. AbO'ut the year A.D. 1150, the Rabbi Benjamin, of Tudels, visited several Eas tern countries, for the express purpose of ascertain ing the residence of the lost Tribes. The Rabbi found some of his brethren in Sarmacand, China, and Thibet; in the first city he found 50,000 Is raelites. Comfort for. the Rich. When the time drew nigh that the oxy-hydrogen microscope should be shown, at the Newcastle Polytechnic Exhibition, one night, a poor old wo man, whose riches will never retard her ascent 'to heaven, took her seat in the lecture room to witness the wonders that were for the first time to meet her sight. A piece of lace was magnified into a salmon net, a flea was metamorphosed into' an ele phant, and other marvels were performed before the venerable dame, who sat in astonishment, sta ring open-mouthed at the disk. But when, at length, a milliner's needle was transformed into a poplar tree, and confronted her with its htige eie, she ex claimed, " a camel could get through that! There's some hope for the rich folks yet. '—Gat eshead, Eng. Observer. 4. NO. 15. Remarkable Temperance - Law. A stringent bill relating to intoxicating diinke has been passed by the Wisconsin Legislature,on- : sisting of ten sections. It requires.all persons who would vend or retail " spiritous liquors," 7to give' bond to the town authorities, with threesuretiei, in $l.OOO, " conditioned to pay all damages.the com munity or individuals may sustain by reason of such traffic ; to support all paupers, widows and orphans; pay the expenses of all civil and criminal prosecutions made, growing out of, or justly attrib utable to such traffic." And it is made the duty of the officer holding the bond to deliver to "any per 7 son who may claim to be injured by said traffib.' We quote the remaining provisions entire: Sec. 4. It shall be lawful for any married wornah to institute, in her own name, a suit on any such bond, for all damages sustained by herself or chit dren on account of such traffic; and the money when collected shall be paia over to her, for the use 'of herself and children. Sec. v. No suits for liquor bills shall be enter tained by any of the courts of this State, and when ever it shall be made to appear -at any coUrt before which:a suit may be pending, on a promissory note, that such note was given in whole or in . part for liquor bills, such court shall immediately dismiss such suit at the costs of the plaintiff. Sec. 6. On thetrial of any suit under the provis ions of this act, the cause or foundation of which shall be . the act of an individual under the influence of liquor, it shall only be necessary, in order to sustain the action, to prove that the principal in the bond sold or gave liquor to the person (so intoxi cated or in liquor) whose acts are complained of, on the day previous to the commission of the offence. . , See. 7. Whenever a person shall become a city, county, or village charge, by reason of inteiriper ance, a suit may be instituted by the proper author. ities, on the bond of any person who may havn been in the habit of selling or giving liquor to Ouch' person or pauper so becoming a public charge. Sec. S. Any person against' ivhom a judgment may be obtained, under the provisions of this act, shall be entitled to maintain a suit to compel a contribution towards paying the judgment against him, against all persons engaged in such traffit in such county, city, town or village, who may have sold or'given liquor to such person committing an offence, or becoming a public charge. Sec. 9. Any person who shall vend or retail, or fol. the purpose of avoiding the provisions of this act, give away apiritous liquors without first giving the, .bond required by the first section of this act, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon con; viction thereof shall be fined in a sum not less than fitly, nor more than five hundred dollars, and be imprisoned in the county jail not less than ten days, nor more than six months, and shall be relia ble in all respects to the public, and to individuals: the same as. he would have been had he given the bond required in the first section of this act. This remarkable expression of public opinion, in Wisconsin on the subject - of " spiritous passed the Senate by a vote of 10 to 3, and the Assembly 29 to 21. It goes some steps beyond any legislation on the subject in the country. Beautiful Extract. " God has written upon the flowers that sweeten the air--on the breeze that rocks the flowers on the stem—upon the ocean that rocks every swimmer in its deep chamber—upon the rain-drop that re freshes the sprig of moss that lifts its head in the desert—upon every pencilled shell that sleeps in the caverns of the deep, no less than upon the mighty sun that warms and cheers millions of crea tures that live in its light—upon his works he has written, " None of us liveth to himself!" And, probably were we wise enough to understand these works we should find that there is nothing, frorri the cold stone in the earth to the minutest creature that breathes, which may riot, in some way or other, minister to the happiness of some living creature. We admire and praise the flower that best answers the end for which it was created, and the tree that bears fruit the must rich and abundant; the star that is most useful in the heavens we admire the most. " And is it not reasonable that man. to whom the whole creation, from the flower up to the spangled heavens, all minister—man who has power of con ferring deeper misery and higher happiness than any being on earth—man, who can act like God if he will ; is it not reasonable that he shotild live for the noble end of living—not for himself, but for, others V Home Affections. The heart has memories that cannot die. The tough rubs of the world cannot obhterate them.. They are memories of home, early home. ',There . is magic in every sound. There is the old tree under which the light hearted boy swung in many! a summer day, yonder the river in which he learned to swim, there the house in which he knew a, parent's love, and knew a parent's protection—now there is a room in which he romped with brother or sister, long since alas! laid in the yard in which. he must soon be gathered overshadowed by yon old: church, whither, with a joyous troop like hjinself he followed his parents to worship with and hear' the good old man who gave him to God in baptism, Why, even the school house, associated in youthful' days with thoughts of ferule and tasks, now comes back to bring pleasant remembrances of an attach= meet there formed, many an occasion that called forth some generous exhibition of the traits of ha man Nature. There he learned to feed some of his; best emotions. There perchance, he first met the being who by her love and enderness in after life,' has made a home for himself happier even than that which his childhood knew. There are certain feelings of humanity, and, those among the- best, that can find appropriate place for their exercise! only by one's own fireside. There is sacredness in, the privacy of that spot which it were a species of desecragon to violate! He who seeks wantonly to invade its is neither more nor less than a villian. Tossing up the Money. An anecdote is told in tip papers of a very poor woman who found a silver dollar. It.was a lucky event but it placed her in a dilemma. She had hardly a stitch of clothing, and the gnawings of hunger were also demanding attention. " What shall I do?" she mentally inquired; "shall I pay at tention to my back or stomach?" The question was a poser; but after musing a minute she said, I'll toss for it, helds for the back, tails for the stomach." Up went the dollar and down it came head uppermost. " give the stomach another chance," said she. " That was not a fair toss," she exclaimed, as the head came uppermost the second time; "the stomach shall have fair play:' Up went the dollar the third time, and then the eagle came uppermost. " Ah, ah !" cried the hungry woman, while her eyes sparkled with delight, "I knew the stomach would win it." Importance of Trifles. Everything, in nature is a series of concatenation.. Frequently the most trifling observation leads to the most important discoveries. A little piece of iron that turns towards the north, guides fleets through the trackless deierts of the ocean, and the reed of an unknown species cast upon the beach of Azores, led "Christopher Columbus" to imagine the exis tence of the American world. The movement of the tea-kettle lid, by the effects of steam, led to most important discoveries of this wonder-working principle, which seems likely to become the great leviathan of modern science, though fresh manifes tation of its applicability tend to.cconfum the so frequently formed opinion, that steam is only yet . in its infancy. A CLEFEE DEFENCE OF CLERGYMEN.-" Why is it," said Mr. T., a distinguished lawyer of a city of New England, to his friend, Mr. H., a clergyman : of high reputation in the same place; "why is' it that you ministers, who are professedly the light of the world, are always quarreling with each other; while we lawyers, wicked as we are represented to be, are remarkable for Our courtesy, and seldom disagree among ourselves." " Is it possible that so fine and classical a scholar as yourself, Mr. T., should be under the necessity of asking that question? Hear what an answer . Milton gives you : Devil, with damned, Firm concord hold; MEN, only, disagree."
