This article has been known anifextensively used in Europe for very many years, where it has, to a considerable extent, superseded the l use of Cologne Water: The subscriber feels assured that it needs only to be made known in this country to ensure its equally general adoption. It has obtained the approval of several eminent physicians of this city, to whose notice it has been submitted.'

It corrects the clammy and bitter taste of the mouth, imparting a fresh and pleasant breath. It cleanses antl whitens the teeth, and hardens the gums. Friction with this Vinegar promotes perspiration and assuage rheumatic pains. It allays headache by application to the temples. It is effectual in removing inflam mation of the eyelids, and in strengthening the eyes. Applied to a burn it prevents soreness. It possesses many other valuable qualities, which are detailed at large in the printed wrappers accom panying each bottle. The subscriber having, during a recent visit to .Paris, obtained the original recipe for this invalua ble • preparation, now offers it to the American public, with a perfect confidence that , it will be found in every respect equal to the article prepared by the original inventor.

All persons who were, at the passage of the act of Ist March, 1847, in possession, by actual occu pancy, of any portion of the mineral lands embraced in this proclamation, under authority of a lease or written permit from the Secretary of War, for the purpose of mining thereon, and all persons who shall be in possession, by actual occupancy, of a mine or mines actually discovered before the Ist of March, 1847, as set forth in the act of Ist March, 1847, above mentioned, are authorized to enter and purchase the same at the price, on the terms and conditions, and to the extent prescribed by that act, and no less, at any time before the day fixed for the commencement of the sale of those mineral lands, on making proof of possession and occu pancy, and of compliance with those terms, to the register and receiver of the land office, subject to an appeal to the Secretary of the Treasury; and all persons entitled to the right of pre-emption to any of the agricultural lands embraced in this procla mation, are required to establish the same to the satisfaction of the register and receiver, and make payment therefore as soon as practicable after seeing this notice, and before the day appointed for the commencement of the public sale of the lands em bracing the tract claimed, otherwise such pre-emp tion claim will be forfeited. The - certificate of the mineral agent at Sault Ste. Marie, that persons holding under leases or permits, or those in the occupancy of a mine or mines, have paid up the per centum of rents required by the act above mentioned, will be conclusive on that point. Persons occupying under leases or permits, will not be permitted to relinquish their rights under that occupancy, and enter as settlers; and where any such leases or permits may expire before the day of sale, the rights granted to the holders thereof will be regarded as reserving the lands covered thereby from entry under any other right till the • day of sale, when they will be offered at public sale as mineral lands. RICHARD M. YOUNG, Commissioner The "mineral lands" included in the foregoing proclamation are chiefly situated between Lake Superior and Montreal Ri4r, and on Isle Royale, in the northern peninsula of Michigan, and are rendered immensely valuable by the exhaustless mines of copper and other ores found therein. A considerable number of those mines have already been discovered in the trap ranges, within a few miles of Lake Superior; and from the geo logical character of the country, and the explora tions already made, it cannot be doubted that others equally, if not more valuable, will be found through out this whole "mineral region." In some of the mines now worked, copper is found almost pure; and, in fact, most of the native copper and ores yield a greater per tentage than any other yet discovered in the world.. Silver is also found in considerable quantities. All the necessary materials for the construction of furnaces, and fuel of smelting, are found in abundance in the immediate neighborhood of the mineral. The climate in winter, though cold, does not in terrupt the operations f the miners; in fact, that season is considered the most favorable for their operations. The proximity of these mineral lands to the shore of Lake Superior, on which are several safe and excellent harbors, and the water communication therefrom,..by the Sault Ste. Marie, Lakes Boron, Erie, Etc., furnish ready means of transporting the products of these lands to the principal markets of the. United States at a very trifling cost. It likewise appears from the reports to this office, that the agricultural lands are of a fair quality, pro- ducing the usual culinary vegetables and grass in abundance, and, when properly tilled, they have been found favorable for grain crops also; and for 1 these products, a fair price and good market ill be found at the mines. Timber—such as white and yellow pine, engar maple, yellow birch, &c.—is, in many place very abundant, and by its thrifty growth gives idence of the richness of the soil. ' Maps, showing the localities of the mines and other valuable information relating thereto, de rived from the geological survey, &c., which can not be embraced in this brief notice, will be pre pared and deposited in the land office' at the Sault Ste. Marie, for inspection, as early as practicable, before the cupunencement of the public Dales. RICHARD M.

By the President RICHARD NE YOUNG, Commissioner of the General Land Office, TO THE PUBLIC The lands embraced in the above proclamation are located principally on and adjacent to the Mis sissippi and St. Croix Rivers. Those designated as mineral are extremely valuable; because in ad dition to the copper and other ores found in them, they are well watered, and have ready access to market, either to the South, by the Mississippi river, or to the East, by the way of the lakes, and the several lines of communication that connect therewith. Valuable timber and all other necessary requi sites for building and smelting, are found in great abundance, and of the finest quality. The climate is healthy and pleasant—the cold being rarely more intense than in the northern ° part of New York— and many of the lands are exceedingly fertile, pro ducing all the grains and vegetables that can be raised in Massachusetts or northern New York. Maps showing the localities of the mines, and other valuable information relating thereto, derived from the geological survey, &c., which cannot be embraced in this brief notice, will be prepared and deposited in the land office at St. Croix for inspec tion as early, ns practicable before the commence ment of the public sales.

THIS is a safety Bridle Bit invented and secured by Mr. Henry Seitz, of Marietta, Pa. This Bit is axpected 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 tiomi 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 let horse over to the bit of the 2nd, 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 SEITZ, of Marietta, Pa., who will attend to all orders concerning the sae of the same. The patent right of this invention has been secured, and it is coming 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, He would refer to the following persons, who have it in use: John Forry, Manor; Henry Spiehlman, tras burg; Jacob Stahl, Dr. J. Cushman, Jr., darietta. There is no necessity to multiply references, as the Bit recommends itself, upon inspection. For sale, wholesale and retail, at manufacturers> prices. GEO. M.

Office North Queen street, opposite Kauffman's Hotel. april 19 OLD DR. JACOB TOWNSEND, THE ORIGINAL DISCOVERER OF THE Genuine Townsend Sarsaparilla. OLD DR. TOWNSEND is now about7o years of age, and has long been known as the author and discoverer of the Genuine Original Townsend Sarsaparilla. Being poor, he was compelled to limit its manufacture, by which means it has been kept out of market, and the sales circumscribed to those only who had proved its worth, and known its value. It had reached the ears of many, never thelear, as those persons who had been healed of sore diseases, and saved from death, proclaimed its excellence and wonderful HEALING POWER. Knowing, many years ago, that he had, by his skill, science and eiperience, devised an, article which would be of incalculable advantage to man kind when the means would be furnished to, bring it into universal notice, when its inestimable virtues. would •be known and appreciated. This time has come, the means arc supplied ; this Grand and Unequalled Preparation is manufactured on the lar gest scale, and is called for throughout the length and breadth of the land, especially as it is found incapable of degeneration or deterioration. Unlike young S. P. Townsend's, it improves with age, and never changes, but fur the better; because it is prepared on scientific principles by a scientific man. The highest knowledge of Chemistry, and the latest discoveries of the art, have all been brought into requisition in the manufacture of 'the old Dr's Sarsaparilla. The Sarsaparilla Root, in well known to medical men contains many medical properties and some properties which arc inert or useless, and others which it retained in preparing it for use, produce fermentation and acid, which is injurious to the system. Some of the properties of Sarsaparilla are so volatile, that they entirely evap orate and are lost in the preparation, if they are not preserved by a scientific progress, known only to those experienced in its manufacture. Moreover, these volatile principles, which fly off in. vapor, or as an exhalation, under heat, are the very essential medical properties of the root,. which give to it all its value. Any person can boil or stew the root till they get a dark colored liquid, which is more from the col oring matter in the root than from anything else; they can 'then strain this insipid or vapid liquid, sweeten with sour molasses, and then call it Sar saparilla _Extract or Syrup." But such is not the article known as the GENUINE OLD DR. JACOB TOWNSEND'S t . . , ARSAPARILLA. • This is so prepared, that all the inert properties of the Sarsaparilla root are first removed, every thing capable of becoming acid or of fermentation, is extracted l 5 rejected; then every particle or medical virtue is secured in a pure and concentra ted form; and thus it is rendered incapable of los ing any of its valuable and healing properties. Pre pared in this way„it is made the most powerful agent in the CURE OF INNUMERABLE DISEASES. Hence the reason why we hear commendations on every side in its favor by men, women, and children. We find itAoing wonders in the cure of Consumption, Dyspepsia, and Liver Corriplaint,and in Rheumatism, Scrofula, Piles, Costiveness, all Cutaneous Eruptions, Pimples, Blotches, and all affections arising from IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD. It possesses a marvelous efficacy in all complaints arising from Indigestion, from Acidity of the Stom ach, from unequal circulation, determination of blood to the head, palpitation, of the heart, cold feet and hands, cold chills and hot flashes over the body. It has not its equal in Colds and Coughs; and promotes-easy expectoration and gentle perspi ration, relaxing strictures of the lungs, throat, and every other part. But in nothing is its excellence more manifestly seen and acknowledged than in all kinds and stages of FEMALE COMPLAINTS. It works wonders in cases of Flour Albus or Whites, Falling of the Womb, Obstructed, Suppres sed, or Painful Menses, Irregularity of the ,mens trual periods, and the like, and it is effectual in curing all the forms of Kidney Disease. By removing obstructions, and regulating the general system, it gives tone and strength to the whole body, and thus cures all forms of Nervous Diseases and Debility, and thus prevents gr relieves a great variety of other maladies, as Spinal Irrita tion, Neuralgia, St. Vitus , Dance, Swooning, Ep ileptic Fits, Convulsions, &c. It cleanses the blood, excites the liver to healthy action, tones the stomach, and gives good diges tion, relieves the bowels of torpor and constipation, allays inflammation, purifies the skin, equalizes the circulation of the blood, producing gentle warmth equally over all parts of the body; and the insensi ble perspiration ; 'relaxes all strictures and tight ness, removes all obstructions, and invigorates the entire nervous system. Is not this then the medi cine you pre-eminently need ? But can any of these things be said of S. P. Town send's inferior article) This young man's liquid is not to be JAMES K. POLK COMPARED WITH THE OLD DR'S, because of one Grand Fact, that the one is incapa ble of Deterioration, and NEVER SPOILS, while the other does; souring, fermenting, and blowing the bottles containing it into fragments; the sour, acid liquid exploding, and damaging other goods ! Must not this horrible compound be pois onous to the system ? What! put acid into a sys tem already diseased with acid? What, causes Dyspepsia but acid t Do we not all know that when food sours in our stomachs, what mischief it produces? flatulence, heart-burn, palpitation of the heart, liver complaint, diarrhea, dysentary, colic, and corruption of the blood 7 What is Scrofula but an acid humor in the body 7 What produces all the humors which bring on Eruptions of the Skin, Scald Head, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, White Swellings, Fever Sores, and all ulcerations internal and external ? It is nothing under heaven but an acid substance,which sours, and thus spoils all the fluids of the body, more or less. What causes Rheumatism but a sour or acid fluid, which insinu ates itself between the joints and elsewhere, irrita ting and inflaming the delicate tissues upon which it acts I So of nervous diseases, of impurity of the blood, of deranged circulations, and nearly all the ailments which affect human nature. Now is it not horrible to make and sell, and infi nitely worse to use this Souring, Fermenting, Acid Compound of S. P. Townsend, and yet he would fain have it understood that Old Dr. Jacob Townsend's Genuine Original Samna. rilla, is an imitation of his inferior preparation. Heaven forbid that we should deal in an article which would bear the least resemblance to S. P. Townsend's article; and which should bring down upon the old Dr. such a mountain load of complain and criminations from Agents who have sold, and purchasers who have used S. P. Townsend's Fer menting Compound. We wish it understood because it is the absolute truth, that S. P. Townsend's article and old Dr. Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparilla are heaven-wide apart, and infinitely dissimilar; that they are unlike in every particular having not one single thing in common. As S. P. Townsend is no doctor, and never was, is no chemist, no pharmaceutist—knows no more of medicine or disease than any other common, unscientific, unprofessional than, what guarantee can the public have that they are receiving a genu ine scientific medicine, containing all the virtues of the articles used in preparing - it, and which are incapable of changes which might render them the AGENTS of Disease instead of health. But what else should be expected from one who knows nothing comparatively of medicine or dis ease ! It requires a person of some experience to cook and serve up even a common decent meal. How much more important is it that the persona who manufacture medicines designed for Weak Stomachs and Enfeebled. Systems should know well the medical properties of plants, the best manner of securing and concentrating their healing virtues also an extensive system, and how to adapt remedies to these diseases! It is horrible to think and to know how cruelly the afflicted are imposed upon by presumptuous men for the sake of money !
