rDr. E.L . Soule.
NTO other Medicine has ever been introduced to
111 the public that has met with such unpdralelled
success, as Dr. Soule's Oriztrrrar. BALM Rizzi.—
Having been but six years before the public, 'and
the advertising small when compared with most
other medicines, yet they have worked their way
into every State in the Union and Canadaa. They
have absolutely become the standard Medicine of
the day. They are purely vegetable and so admi
rably compounded that when taken in large doses
they speedily cure acute diseases, and when taken
in small doses they operate like a charm, upon the
most delicate, nervous female, and have raised
numbers from their beds when all other remedies
had failed. We here refer to but a few of the many.
miraculous cures effected by the use of said Pills.
SPINAL AFFECTION.—Anna Wood, of Rutland,
Jefferson county, N. Y., was cured, after she had
been confined to bed 5 years, with Spinal disease
and Abscess of the Lungs. The bill of her regular
Physician (Dr. Johnson, of Clay,) had amounted to
$6OO. See circular.
SCROFULA AND NERVOUS DEBILITY.—Mrs.Down,
of Clay, N. Y., was cured of Dyspepsia, Nervous
Debility, and Scrofulous affection of the head, after
she had been confined six months and all other
medicines had failed.
COUGH AND CONSUMPTION CURED.-Wm. Bently,
of Pickering, C. W., was cured' f a severe cough
after he had been confined to his bed for a long
time, and was given up by the Physicians. He had
used most of the cough medicines of the day, and
was supposed by Ins friends and physicians to be
in the last stage of Consumption.
DYSPEPSIA.-A. B. F. Ormsby, of Syracuse, N.
Y. was cured of Dyspepsia, so severe as not to be
able to work for two years.
Wm. Smith, of Greenwich, Conn., was cured of
a severe case of Dyspepsia, Costiveness and Nervous
Debility, of years standing, after expending large
sums of money to no purpose. See circular.
BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS.

As there are spurious Pills in circulation called
Oriental or Sovereign Balm, be sure to see before
you buy that he tname of "DR. E. L. SOULE &

POE
ANNABEL LEE
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And the maiden she lived with no other thought
. Than to love and be loved by me.
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea, [love—
Bat we loved with a - love that was more than
I and my Annabel Lee—
With a love that the:winged seraphs of Heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
B wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee ;
So that her high-born kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea..,.
The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,
Went envying her and me—
Yes !—that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea,)
That the wind came out of the c:oud by night,
• Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
But our love it was stronger far than the love
Of those who were older than we—
Of those far wiser. than we—
And neither the angels in [leaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of beautiful Annabel Lee.
For the moon never beams without bringing me
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; [dreams
And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; [eyes,
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my arling—my darling—my life and my bride,
In her sepulchre there by the sea—
ls her tomb by the sounding sea.
A Local Romance.
The following account of "one of the Thachers, -
is from the Yarmouth Register:—
Tradition has preserved a singular anecdote of
John Thacher, a son of one of the earliest settlers
of this town. He was married in 1661, to Miss
Rebecca Winslow, of Duxbury, in Plymouth Co.,
if we mistake not. On his way horse with his
new bride, he stopped for the night at the house of
a :riend, a Col. Gorham, of Bardstable, one of the
mast prominent citizens of the town. Merriment
and gayety prevailed, and during the evening a
female infant about three weeks old was introduced,
and the night of her birth being mentioned, Mr.
Thacher observed, " that it is the very night on
which we were married," and taking the child in
hit arms, he presented it to his bride, and jokingly
' said " Here, my, dear, is a little lady that was born
on the same night that we were married. I wish
yeti to kiss her, for I intend to have, her for my
second wife." I will, my dear, with great pleas
ire," repli&l she, " but I hope it Nfiß be very long
before your intention is fulfilled in that respect."
Mr. Thacher and his wile lived happily together !
for about twenty years, and faithfully fulfilled the 1
scriptural injunction to multiply and replenish the
earth. Mrs. -T. left a large family of children.
among whom was a son named Peter.
After Mr. Thaeher had mourned a reasonable
length of time he began to think of getting another
partner. None of the maidens, young or old,
seemed to please him like Lydia Gorham, the little'
lady of the preceding part of the story, now grown
up, lif we may believe tradition, to a fair comely !
girl, ' full of gushing life,' as the poets say. But !
there was one impedinient in the way. His eldest
son, Peter, had shown a predilection for the girl,
and the old man was at a loss to decide whether
she favored the suit of the sire or the son. The
one rode a black horse in his visits, and the other
a white. There was a kind of tacit agreement
between the two that one should not interfere with
the other in their visits ; so, when the father found
a white horse tied in front of Col. Gorham's, unlike
the good Samaritan, he crossed over on the other
side.; and the son, when the black horse was there.
returned the favor.
Thus things went on until the patience of the old
gentleman was well nigh exhausted, and he resolved
on a desperate step to decide the matter. Taking
his son on one side, he said to him :
" Peter, are you or are you not going to marry
Lydia Gorham V
Peter replied that he had not yet made up his
mind.
" Well, said the old gentleman, " I will make
you an offer, if you will give her up and court her
no more, I will give you thirteen pounds in Money
and the pair of black steers. What do you say to
that'!"
The young man hesitated but a moment.
" 'Tis a bargain," said he
And it is due to the parties to say that it was
observed by them all with good faith. Whether
Lydia knew the bargaining that her charms had
occasioned, tradition sayeth not; but she subsequent
ly became Mr. Thacher's wife, bore him ten chil
dren, from whom many members of the numerous
and highly respectable family of the Thacher's
have sprung. Our venerable townsman, Mr. Peter
Thacher, is the great grand-son of Peter, noticed
above.

Proceedio,gs of the New Market
Agreeably to a call, a meeting of the citizens of
Lancaster was held at the Public House of Mr.
Conrad Plitt, in South Queen street, October 27th,
1949. The meeting was organized by the appoint
ment of JAMES CRAWFORD, Chairman ; Henn
MAXWELL, JACOS WEITZEL, and ADAM. ROT/LAE
:IUL, Vice Presidents; and Frederick Voighi and
Benjamin Hoffman, Secretaries.
J. Franklin Reigart stated the object of the meet
ing, and, on motion, J. F. Reigart, Col W. S. Am
weg, and Henry Wentz, were appointed a commit!
tee to prepare a report and resolutions: whereupon
the committee submitted the following report and
resolutions :
' WitsuEss, The city of Lancaster is situated in
' the largest and most abundant county in the United
States, and that county the garden of Pennsylva
nia; and here, where health, wealth, and all the
comforts that the heart of man could desire, it is
evidently manifest that we do not properly va lue or
even understand the numerous benefits around us,
or we would not so abuse or underrate the rich pro
ductions of our Garden, the delicacies for our tables,
as to expose them for sale at the very gutters of our
streets, and then have City Ordinances to 'enforce
the distribution of them from such a hampered and
filthy location. .2nd, Whereas, The truth must be
told, that 12,000 inhabitants of a city, known to the
world as located in the centre of the most beautiful,
luxuriant, and plenteous Garden, have ever been
and still ate deprived of a clean and spacious Mar
ket Place—the chief requisite—that which should
be the pride of the Garden, where the nicer elegancies
of flowers' and fruit should be laid out for pleasure;
and the herbs, vegetables, and meats for food, should,
with extraordinary care, be exposed for sale, the
more to tempt the palate, to fill our tables, and per
fect our healths, and thus are we far behind the
Age, and farther still behind that cleanliness and
taste which ever marks the excellent gardener—for
he ever learns
I=l
The kind of stocks, and what those kinds will bear.'
Must we, as thriving citizens of enterprise, be still
contracted by those ancient notions, that the Court
House, Market House, Stores, Banks. and Public
Offices, should all be located in one hollow square,
and that square forever constitute the whole cite?
No! now is the time to express our determination
and .earlessly and boldly to enforce the proper im
proverrient of the city, according to the real wants
of our citizens.
We, therefore, most respectfully beg leave to re
port as follows:
That two large Market Houses can be erected at
an expense of .51000 each:—each Market shall be
300 feet in length, 35 feet wide, and 10 feet high'
from floor to ceiling.
Thirty cast iron columns, weighing 000 lbs. each,
14 inches thick at the base, and resting on a stone
foundation 2 feet under the surface of the ground,
screwed at top to the girders by heavy nuts to pre
vent the market from turning over.
The eaves projecting 13 inches over the curb stone;
the stalls shall be from 15 to 18 feet long, (double
stalls) with a space about 2 feet 0 inches.
The ceilings shall be plastered, and railS, cranes,
hooks, guards, &c., inclusive—they shall have sub.
stantial roofs and covered with tin; also good brick
pavements.
The same were erected in Harrisburg and Read
ing, by contract, for less than $BOOO.
The vacant lots upon which these Markets should
be located will cost about $3OOO. Thus for less
than $12.000 we can have spacious and comfortable
Market Houses. The yearly revenue would not be
less than $3OOO. Deducting, then, the $720 interest
on original cost, and we would have over $2OOO
annually of a Sinking Fund, instead of the $BOO
revenue as now derived from the present central
location—and this fund would be increasing yearly,
and .in the course of five years pay the whole original
cost of Markets. Again: the present gloomy
central shambles may be sold (to erect stores or
dwellings upon,) for a price that will more than
pay for two new 41arkets each a square in length.
Be it, therefore,
Resolved, That, as citizens of Lancaster, our ex
ertions and enterprise shall be onward—the city
must and shall spread and increase: Progression
shall be our motto, and two new Market Houses
our theme, our object, our most determined action
—so that another year may develope another city.
Resolved, That for the purpose of accomplising
our object, we will avoid all political party feeling
—throw aside all sectional ties, preferences, and
jealousies—and, as true citizens, interested only for
the benefit and - convenience of the whole commu
nity, we will independently devote our energies with
a unanimity of action to the erection of two new
Market Houses—one to be located in the North
part of the city and the other in the South part, at
least three squares from the centre of the city.
Resolved, That we will no longer submit to the
intolerable inconvenience and mortifying disgrace,
of purchasing our provisions, our daily food, from
the gutter's edge; but we will, individually and
collectively, as cleanly citizens, proclaim and de
nounce the present filthy Market Place a Public
Nuisance, and will give our reasons honestly and
candidly, and boldly challenge a denial or contra
diction.
1. The 8 by 10 Central Market Flaw is limited
by the ringing of an old clapper bell, whose first
sounding tone is the signal for a rush, "pell-mell,"
as if every man, woman, and child were to be made
prisoners and put to death in the Market Place.
2. Then appears the energetic Market Master,
with the assistance of High and City Constables—
most faithful in their regular duties—ordering
horsemen with their horses, carts, and wagons,
which are tumultuously huddled together, to clear
the Market Place, (first giving two or three dogs a
kick that are comfortably stationing themselves
against a butter basket or bag of apples, or clinch.
ing with their voracious jaws some nicely picked
poultry.) Then the horses commence plunging
and rearing amongst the crowd of citizens ; crack
goes the whip, and with a mighty retrograde mo
tion the carts and wagons are dashed against the
curbstone Market Place, where a crowd of our
country friends are squeezed in a row in front of
their nice baskets of eggs, butter, cheese, poultry,
&c., and all and everything smashed up in a pro
miscuous heap under the. wheels. Then commen
ces a regular row, and volleys of oaths, screaming
of women and children, dogs barking and yelling,
and in a few minutes after, the Mayor's Office is
crowded with citizens and-country folks, complain
ing of each other with most distressing escriptions
of injuries sustained.
3. Again: tlie weather is bad, and not the least
shelter for the people and their marketing : rain,
hail, snow, or shine—'tis-'all the same. The peo
ple, with drenched clothing, are stalking about like
smoking vapors from gutter to gutter, whilst others,
floundering ankle deep in mud and mire, are com
pelled to exclaim: "Oh, the endless miseries of this
cursed central Market Place!" Confusion dwells
in every face, and every basket looking like "con
fusion worse confounded." And here we taste our
sweetest butter—here we gather our choice vegeta
bles, and here we must select our picked poultry.
Wilt each and every citizen House-keeper be satis
fied to be forever thus crowded and confined to the
gutters of Centre Square, whilst the present popu
lation requires two Markets two squares in length?
Will he not oppose this common nuisance? which,
if he does not know to be such, must be wilfully
ignorant. Even Harrisburg, with but oor 7000
inhabitants, has two large and clean Markets, and
yet they are not half large enough. •
In view of these undeniable facts—
Resolved, That we will, with the most determined
spirit, oppose this B.by 10 central location:
. _
1, Because, as good citizens, we should regard
the interests and benefits of the whole community
as paramount to all other considerations; and be
lieve that large, commodious Market Places, to be
located thus on vacant lots where they can hereafter
be extended, enlarged, and improved all around
them, are now positivily required and should be
erected without delay.
2. Because such locations will be a saving to the
City Treasury ; whilst our city debt will not war
rant the heavy expenditures of moneys which
would accrue in purchasing property which is now
central, or any valuable dwelling .bouses on our
main streets, which would most effectually prevent
the further spreading or improvement of the city.
3. Because it is unreasonable and unjust in the
exjreme to compel our citizens any longer to trudge
Meeting.
==L=MM
6 and 8 squares to Market, and lose the time they
have so long .been subject to, when the locations as
herein contemplated would be a great saving and
profit to the whole city and time to our citizens,
none of whom would have a further distance than
three squares to walk to each Market.
4. Because our city, now only receiving SSOO
annually in rents from their present Markets, by
those intended commodious Market Places would
encourage five times the number of 'our country
friends to attend market, and thereby produce a
yearly revenue of from $2OOO to $•1000 to the City
Treasury.
5. Because our Market supply would therefore
be increased five fold.
6. Because the Markets could be opened more
frequent than twice a week, and particularly on
Friday evening, by Vic assistance of gas light's! to
give each and every citizen the opportunity, advan
tage, and great convenience of an Evining Market,
7. Because by spacious and pleasant Market
Houses, charity, good-feeling, and civility would be
promoted.
8. Because, if we erect new Markets in these
locations, dwellings and stores will be immediately
required in the adjacent streets, and several hundred
new dwellings and stores will be erected around
them, and no other improvement can give such real
inducements of spreading our now growing city.
9. Because as capitalists of enterprise, as work
ingmen, as mechanics, as builders, as true citizens,
We desire to-see business spreading and increasing
over the whole city, and will no longer be limited
to a central unimproving location, but inaintaiw
that true Republitan maxim, "The greatest good
to the greatest number"—that which shall have its
great advantages hereafter to re-animate the citizens,
to increase the city, its business, its buildings, and
no longer to gratify merely self-interest, or improve
a little favorite corner location, to be a further in
convenience, complaint, and disgrace.
All of which were unanimously adopted.
- It was then moved and seconded that the officers
of this meeting, in conjunction with five additional
citizens, be a committee to present the report and
resolutions to the next meeting, to be held at the
Public House of Mr. Trout, on Tuesday evening
next—unanimously agreed to.
Whereupon the Chairman appointed Col. Wm
S. Amn•eg, Henry Wentz, Conrad Plitt, J. F. Rei
gart, and William Dettus.
The committee then selected and appointed J
Franklin Reigart, to present the same.
On motion, adjourned to meet on Tuesday even
ing next, October rui, at the public house of Henry
Trout.
Agreeably to adjournment, the citizens assembled
at the public house of Mr. Henry Trout, on Tues
day evening, October 30th.
JOHN GERBER was called to the Chair; Hamtv
BENEDTCT and hem] Warm Er., Vice Presidents ;
Zuriel Swope and Conrad Plitt, Secretaties.
Agreeably to appointment, J. Franklin Reigart,
presented and read the report and resolutions for
the consideration of this meeting. John Wise, Col. -
Amweg, and J. F. Reigart addressed the meeting,
and the report and resolutions were unanimously
adopted.
Mr. Wise offered the following:
Resolved, That the editors of our city newspapers
be requested to publish these proceedings.
Unanimously adopted.
On motion of David Downey, that this meeting
adjourn to meet again at the pudic house of Mr.
David Royer, on Saturday evening, November 10th.
Agreed to. (Signed by the Officers.)

Terrible Sufferlnge of Gold Seekers
—Death from Exhaustion.
The following letter, says the N. York Tribune,
written by a gentleman long a resident of this city,
but now in California, may be relied upon'as being
a truthful statement, as the writer is well and favor
ably known to a large portion of our thorough
going business men :
Woon MINES, about 300 miles from
San Francisco, July 30, 1849.
I am at last in the gold region; and will attempt
a description of my tedious journey here. Wear
rived at Stockton after a fair passage, remained there
for a few days, and then started for this place. In,
coming here we crossed an arid plain of thirty-two.
miles—.no vegetation, no shade,- no water, except
what we carried with us, and one, of the hottest
days I ever experienced. After taking on each of
our backs sixty or seventy pounds, and filling a
little keg with water, some fifteen of us started in
company. The second day We ,travelled but five
miles in HIS morning and five or six in the evening.,
This day a man by the name of Hunt, from Mass
achusetts, gave out, and could go' nofurther. As
he was out of water I let him wet his lips with
mine, and some others did - the same, but all we
could do to revive him proved unavailing. He was
determined to die, and we to save our own lives,
were obliged to leave him as our stock of water
was getting very short. We had some:l2 or 12
miles to travel before we came to a river. I never
shall forget the scene of leaving that poor man to
die on the barren plain ; but that was nothing to
what followed.
The next day our water was reduced to a few
drops. At 11 the sun was pouring down with un
heard of intensity, and not a breath of -air stirring,
when another very fine young man from New
Hampshire, whom I had formed quite - an attach
ment for on our short acquaintance, and when we
were within seven or eight miles of the river, us
-near as we could judge, wilted right down under
the sun and could go no further. All was done
that could be done to arouse him to action, but
without effect ; I gave the poor fellow a few drops
of water, and such a scene as presented itself when
about to leave him I hope never to witness again.
He drew me down to - the ground, and kissing me,
said: "0, God! can you leave me here to die alone?"
I told him to keep up courage, that we would go
to the river, where there was a tent, and that we
would rig up something to carry hint on, and would
be back as soon as possible; so we bid him good
bye and started: Before -we reached the river I
felt myself as I must surely fail, but I knew if- I
gave up at all it was to die, and when such thoughts
as halting came over me, I would arouse as from
a sound sleep. I never. experienced - such feelings.
I think death from heat or exhaustion would be an
easy one. Before we got to the river trim, more
dropped, but the survivors would do nothing for
them, but were obliged to press forward'toward
the river in order to save their own lives.. -We at
last came in sight of the long looked for river, and
such feeings of joy as we experienced I 'will not
attempt to portray.
,After replenishing a little, we procured a mules
add went back for our friends. I weak hopes to
acid the one who•dropped first alive, but when .I -
arriVed and jumped off the mule, I found a handker
chief over his face, I raised it; he lay as though
asleep, with his hands crossed on his breast, hitt he
was quite dead. We put him on a mole, and one
a the other two was so weak that he could not sit
alone, and so we trudged back'to &tent, fotuulan
Indian blanket, sewed him up in it, and buried WM..
I Stayed at the rivet tivodays,to recruit,;thewcatrie
on to this place. Thereis one other Fonts to, cross : .
this plain, where theta- is Water in One place, but .
We got on the wrong road;
NO. 42.
