Loots, March 16, 1867. ./The weather remained extremely cold until Thursday, when it moderated, and since then it has been spring-like &nd pleasant. The recent cold snap froze up the Illinois Peoria and above; and navigation in.that stream has been suspended, as also in the Missouri and upper Mississippi—ln fact, the cold weather has entirely suspend, ed business in all the upper rivers, and to a considerable extent Interrupted business here and throughout the whole West, but present appearances Indicate a speedy re sumption of the Spring trade. Boats from the Ohio river and the South dally arrive with full cargoes, and onr levee presents'an active and animated aspect. A few days more will banish the cold, and trade and bosiness will again re , same Its usual activity. Receipts of produce hare been light on accouat of the suspension of navigation in the up per riven. Our market presents no new feature wortby of note—Mess Pork is now selling at $22.50 per bbl, with strong indications of a much further advance. The Hog. crop of the West has fallen considerably short of that of the last season, both in number and weight, and the presumption is the hog product will command extremely high prices; speculators are in the market and every de scription of meats are readily taken at high figures. Our city continues healthy, physicians complain of “hard times.” In a local point of view, we have nothing to report worthy of note. Robberies and knock-downs are of nightly occurrence, and the Recorder’s docket remains fall of all kinds oi cases. Lola Montez is filling an engagement at the St. Louis Theatre, bnt her audiences are not of the “fashionables,” and rather slim at that. She visited our city a few years ago, when she failed most wofully, and from present ap. pearances will meet with no better success now—she is not a favorite or popular actress here, by any means. Mr Wailack, sen., is playing at the People’s to large and fash ionable audiences, and is highly applauded. Politicians and political party leaders are now casting about preparatory to the April election for Municipal offi cers. What will be the result, is yet a prob ability is Mr. John M. Wimer will be the so-called Benton candidate for Mayor, and either Chas. P. Chouteau or Geu. will be the opposition-candidate. There is now some talk of the Dark Lantern order and Bentoil party uniting upon one ticket, whilst the “Nation al Democrats,” and old line Whigs—(those that are not in the K. N. order) —will combine against them. This is only a surmise of our own, but we can see as far through a mill stone as most any body else, and with our predictions as heretofore expressed upon the probable results of political matters In this city and State, we again give our opinion for what it is worth. In the event of the above combina tion of parties, it would be difficult at present to say which would come off victorions—but a week or two will deter mine. • We now have R. M. Stewart, as the Democratic, Rollins as the K. N., and Wilson as the Independent candidates before the people for the office of Governor of Missouri.— We think there is no doubt but that Stewart will beat both his competitors combined several thousands—his election is a fixed fact—unlefts some unforseen obstacle presents itself. The-.telegraph of Saturday announced there-appoiutment of Isaac H. Sturgeon, E*q., as Assistant U. S. Treasurer at this city. Mr. S. has heretofore made a most faithful and excellent officer, and we think Mr. Buchanan could not have selected a better man. It seqma, however, to bo a universal desire among the people here, that a change in our Government offices should be effected; the Leader and other jdurnals express the opinion that “rotation in office” should be strict!)' adhered to, and we tbink four years iu a good office is quito sufficient ground to justify & removal* when’there are men equally as deserving as well as quali fied to discharge the duties. The present office holders should not as!:, less demand their retention in office, under the existing shite of political affairs in Mlssouri-rbut it would seem that the more you give thorn tho more they want, and at the expiration of four more years again be ready for another re appointment. The President has very wisely adopted the ‘ one term” priiiriple/«r him self, and we think lie would act equally as wise and judic ious, as well as render general satisfaction to all, by follow ing up that good add wholesome Democratic doetrino in the dispensation of his patronage, for which uct, no objection whatever be brought to bear against the new Presi dent, as it is one of the fundamental principles of the great Democratic partyJ Wo hear but one voice and one opinion in regard to Mr. Buehanan’a Inaugural Address, and that is one of general satisfaction. It could not have been worded better to suit the cutire body of the Amerfcan people ; it could not have been more expressive of the sentiments of nine Jenths of the people of the Union,and it could not) have emanated from a more Union loving Statesman than James Buchan an. It Is a plain, sousible document, and the carrying out of the policy laid d * wn in it, will make for the new Presi dent a name and k fame which will ever remain fresh and green in tho hearts of tho American people, and render his administration one wortby of example by all futuro states men. We see It stated that an effort is being made to have Gov. Geary, of Kansas, removed, but we hope the President lias Been enough of the work of Gov. Geary to pay no at tention to such propositions, coming, as they do, from men who wish to have everything their own way in Kansas, but which Gov. Geary very stoutly declines to allow to them. No better man could bo found to take his place.— He has settled difficulties in that Territory which Reeder and Shannon failed to do, and when they were ton times worse thau under tho two former pretended Governors.— Everything is now quiet in Kansas, and the people, know ing their security, calmly pursue their different avocations, without the fear of molestation. “ Let Gov. Geary be kept there,” is the universal voice from all law abiding and peaceable citizens of Kansas, as well as from the good peo ple of the States. - Yours, Scandal in Washington. The 'Washington Correspondent of the Columbus Statesman thus relates a little bit of scandal: “ Quite an affray occurred this morning at one of the principal hotels. The wife of a member of CoDgress, who had been sent for to attend the inauguration, arrived on the early train, a day or two before she was ex pected. At her request she was immediately shown up to her husband’s room, the door of which, it seems, had aocidently been left un locked. Discovering this to be the case on knocking and turning the knob, she went in. "“The bed in the room was untumbled, but she recognized the doffed garments of her husband lying about the room. Seeing a door ajar eom municating with the next room, she thought that his dormity must be in there, so Bhe pushed her explorations accordingly. The conse quence was that she-found herself in a lady’s bedroom, and her slumbering husband un consciously sharing the “-Virtuous couch ” of his fair neighbor. Her rustling presence aroused the guilty sleepers, but without giving them time to recover from their confusion, she retired to the office and ordered herself and baggage back to the depot. I understand that a reconciliation has been effected, the husband having persuaded the wife that he was acting under imperative medical advice, and that this was the real cause of hi 6 having sent for her.” The Diamond Smuggling Case. —A beau tiful young lady, who refused to give her name, appeared, the New York Times says, at the United States Diatrict Attorney’s Office to make intercession for Michael B. Ponso and Andrew B. Ponso, the two brothers men tioned in yesterday’s Times as arrested on the day previous upon a charge of smuggling dia monds and other precious stones by the steam er Leopoldt, recently arrived from Antwerp. She stated that the young men just arrested upon the above accusation belonged to one of th'e wealthiest and most respectable families in Holland. They had three brothers repre senting their own Government at the present time as Consuls at foreign ports. These young men, she insisted, had no idea of smuggling as a matter of business—they only brought with them a lot of wrought diamonds, and had no objection to escape payment of duties on them in the way such things generally were done. The only object in bringing the dia monds was to dispose of them in case of emergency for extra spending money. The young lady was very zealous to have the young men released from Eldridge street jail. She could nftt promise the $5OOO bail required of each of them, and‘seemed to think this of small consequence, considering the high and honorable position they occupied at home.— The only assurance the young lady received was, that upon the $5OOO bail being furnished, the young men would be released from their prison confinement—and not otherwise. The aggregate value of the diamonds Beized is said- to be in the neighborhood of $lO,OOO, instead of $2OOO, aB originally reported.— They are at present in the keeping of Mr. Bedfield, the Collector. - An officer purchased some of them of the young men, they alleg ing that the diamonds. had been smuggled through by themselves. ' Ship Canal prom Lake Erie to Lake Michigan. —A bill is before the New York Legislature to incorporate a company, with a capital of $16,000,000 to construct a ship canal to oonnect Lake Erie with Lake Michigan at the most desireable points on each. The pro posed canal will save eight hundred miles of water communication. Cotton. —The manufacture of cotton was first introduced into France in 1770, and has increased at an enormous rate. The total number of persons now employed in it is near 300,000. The total value of all the manufac tures of France annually is 1,600,000,000 francs, and they axe rapidly increasing. [Correspondence of the Pnblio Ledger.] • Lettw from Harrltbur g. The Common School Department—Free Bank img and Bank Bills —Lebanon Valley Rail road, &Ci Id the House, a Bill was introduced to va cate Wilson street, between Mill and Harris streets, as laid down in the plan of the Bor ough of Germantown? x Mr. Dickey, of Chester county, introduced a hill into the House to separate the School Department from the State Department, and to empower the Governor to appoint a Super intendent of Common Schools, with the advice and consent of the Senate, for the term of three years from June next. This measure will commend itself to the favorable consid eration of the Legislature. Under the opera tion of the present Common School System, the labors of the Superintendent have been materially increased. , The duties of Secreta ry of the Commonwealth demand the entire attention of one man to business pertaining to that position, and prevent his giving that at tention to the school department which its importance demands. Under the administra tion of Governor Bigler, the duties of the Su perintendent were coufideded almost entirely to Mr. H. L. Dieffeobach, chief clerk in that department; and during v the present admin istration Mr. Qickok has fijjed the same post. Both these gentlemen have taken a great in terest in the welfare of our Common Schools, and have, by their ability, protected the pres ent system—which may be still regarded as in some measure an experiment—from the as saults of those who labored to destroy it. The proposition to separate the care of Common a Schools from the duties of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, is one which, if adopted, would contribute materially to the welfare of the system. A competent head, with no divi ded power or responsibility, to manage and direct the operations of the department, is ne cessary to the proper workings of a widely extended system. The two offices of Secreta ry of the Commonwealth a: d Superintendent of Common Schools were connected, when common schools were an experiment, and when the duties of the office were light.— Practically, the Secretary is obliged to com mit the care of common schools to other hands; and there is no good reason why the person who discharges their duties should not have the position and compensation, and incur all the responsibilities of the department. The Committee on Education, of the House, have reported, with a negative recommenda tion, the bill to abolish the office of County Superintendent throughout the State. An effort may be made to pass a-bill abolishing the office in certain counties ; but I have no idea that it will be successful. Mr. Ball’s free banking bill was considered in the House of Representatives, this after noon, and is now on second reading. A mo tion to postpone it indefinitely, received but little more than twenty votes. It was then made the special order for Monday afternoon next. This vote on indefinite postponement, by no means indicates the strength for or against its passage. After the attention Mr. Ball has given to the subject, and the care he has taken to perfect this bill, it would have been extremely discourteous to him to dispose of it by the summary method of an indefinite post ponement. Its consideration involves and complicates the bank question, and developes the feeling existing between the friends of free banking and those members who are anxious to pass the bank bills which have already passed the Senate. Mr. Ball indulged in some very severe remarks, at the expense of the majority of the Senate, that passed these bills. He said that Senators were in the habit of appearing in the House to bore these bills through, that they annoyed him to death, that he was sick of the sight of them, and looked upon their approach with something of the same dread that he would that of a pestilence. As the leader of the free banking forces, there is no doubt that especial pains have been ta ken to remove Mr. Ball’s hostility to the Sen ate bills, and he, to rid himself forever of his tormentors, has dispersed them with one well directed shot. When Senators are publicly rebuked by a member of the House, as imper tinent.bank borers, some estimation may be formed of the outside pressure. This free banking bilfis a lion in the path of the Senate bills. It must be disposed of, without exci ting the enmity of its friends towards them. — If there is no possible.chance for the combina tion to kill it off adroitly, and not too readily, they would accept it, as a dernier resort. I don’t see how it is to escape the hostility of the friends and the enemies of a large increase of banking capital. The bill to consolidate the Lebanon Valley and Reading Railroad Companies was before the Senate this morning and was discussed in reference to the imposition of the three mill tax on tonnage. An amendment imposing Buch tax, and putting the road on the same footing with the Pennsylvania and Harrisburg and Lancaster Road was adopted in one of the stages of the bill. The principle of such re striction on trade was not contended for, and as .an abstract proposition would meet with little favor but as it already existed on the Lancaster and Pennsylvania Roads, it was contended that, in justice to the Lancaster Road and the State Road, of which this is a rival, the Lebanon Valley should not escape •this tax. Mr. Killinger earnestly and vigor ously opposed it, and contended, that ■= as the road was not finished and would not be for some time, it would be unjust to cripple itby imposition of prospective restrictions and bur dens. ‘ M. OLD GUARD. Decidedly Magoonish. —lt is said that in his lecture on “Mind your own business,” Rev. Dr. Magoon relates the following story : A young man went from New York city to the West, where he commenced business on his own account, and married. His friends in the city were interested in his welfare, and when a merchant was about to journey to the place where the young man had located, he was requested to visit the emigrant, and as certain how he lived, what sort of a wife he had chosen; his prospects, &c. Accordingly the New Yorker ascertained the residence of his young friend, and called upon him quite early in the morning, He found him in a small, neat cottage, and just taking his break fast. The introduction of the New Yorker to his wife was quite off hand unceremonious, and he was requested to be seated and par take of the morning meal. The young wife had prepared the steak, biscuit and coffee with her own hands, and for a table had used her kneading board, over which a napkin was spread, and the “ board” placed on her lap. The New Yorker declined a seat at the table, and took his leave. On making his re port to his New York friends, as to how he found hid young friend living, he described the style as “ magnificent!”—and for the ex planation of the superlative he said, that were he the owner of that young man’s furni ture, he would not take ten thousand dollars for the legs of his table 1 Mysterious Tragedy in Missouri. —A very mysterious murder was committed near the town of Mexico, in Missouri, on the 24th ult. Capt. J. W. Ricketts, living a short distance from the town, was found lying dead in the road, near his own fence, with two loads of buckshot, some eighty-three in all, through his body, several of which perforated the heart. It seems that the murderer had deliberately planned the attack. Cutting some rails, so as to keep himself out of the mud, he had placed them in the corner of the fence, near which Capt. Ricketts was compelled to pass in going home. He had made two square blocks of wood which were tied to his feet like sandals, to prevent being tracked, and waiting till Capt. R. came near he shot him dead.. It is supposed that he first fired one barrel of a shot gun, the load taking effect in the side; that the load not instantly producing death, Capt. R. having turned towards the assassin, he fired a second barrel, the load taking effect in the breast. James N. Rodman, a brother-in-law of Ricketts, has been arrested for the murder. Ricketts had charged Rodman with forgery, and the matter was to be tested at the ap proaching term of the Circuit Court. The strings which bound the sandals or blocks to the feet of the murderer, are proved to have been bought by Rodman the day previous at one of the saddler shops in the place; the course-of the murderer was traoed to the point where the blocks were cut off and the strings were thrown up in a tree; the tracks of the man were followed to the back door of Rodman’s house, and from the front door there were tracks leading to the spot where Rickett was murdered; Rodman was seen to leave his house with a 4 gun on that evening, and to return shortly after the deed was conimitted. Signed. —The bill recently passed by . the Legislature consolidating the towns of Ports* mouth and Middletown into one body incor porate* has been signed by the Governor, and is, consequently, now a law. The name of the.new borough u. “ Middletown ” - Harrisburg, March 18,1857. Affairi In Utah. A letter from W. W. Drummond, United States Supreme Judge in Utah Territory, gives a sad picture of matters in that Territory.—- The following is taken from the letter The leading men of the church are more traitorous than ever. Only a few days since all the papers, records, dockets, and nine hun dred volumes of the laws, were taken out of the Supreme Court Clerk's office and burned. And this is not the only instance of the kind. I say t*> yon again, and through you to the President, it is impossible for us to enfbrce'the lawß in this Territory. Every man here holds bis life at the will of Brigham Young; and here we are without protection. I am firmly of opinion that Babbitt was murdered by the Mormons under direction of Brigham Young, and not by Indians. Murder is a common thing here; and Mormons cannot be punish ed with a Mormon jury, witnesses, officers, and Governor to pardon. It is too cruel, and must not be endured. A man, not a member of the church, is murdered, robbed, castrated and imprisoned, solely for questioning the authority of the church. Persons are now in the penitentiary, convicted before the Probate Judge, who are wholly innocent of any crime. Is there any other country where this abuse is or would be endured ? Let all, then, take hold and crush out one the most treasonable organizations in America. Mystery, Murder, Romance and Crime in Memphis, Tenn. — A short time since a young man by the name of Tanner, in Memphis, Tenn., of most blameless life and manners, was assassinated in the street at night. It was not known that he had an enemy in the world, and no motive of plunder could have prompted the deed, as his person was not robbed of the most trifling possession. A deep, dark mystery enshrouded the assassina tion, which is now being lifted to reveal a new phase of social shame and crime fatally mista ken, in its aim. A clue has been obtained which promises to develop the fact that young Tanner was kille'd by mistake for another man—that other man the husband of a wife for whom the assassin had conceived a passion; and the murder was to remove the husband from between him and his guilty love ! A negro man was the tool selected to commit the murder. He mistook the man, and poor Tanner fell instead of the doomed husband. Such is life ! A gang of railroad robbers were lately arrested, on the line of Pittsburg, Fort Wayne, and Chicago road. A large number of the gang have, according to the Mansfield Herald, been employees of the road, between stations, and as the train came along the confederate on the traiu would roll off a bale of muslin, cloth, or 6uch goods as could be made most available. These goods would be divided among members if desired, or otherwise sent to some of their depots established in the west for the disposal of their goods, and the pro ceeds divided among them. Nor were their acts those of robbery alone. They stopped not at murder to secure their booty. By them was Whitney murdered at Londonyille, and Moore almost killed at Crestline. The murderer of Whitney, it is said, is among the arrested, now in the,Wooster, Ohio, jail.— Large numbers still unarrested, are closely watched by this secret police, who know them tu belong to the gang and only wait for suffi cient legal evidence to justify their arrest. SSt" Here is another terrible warning against the carrying of fire arms habitually. A company had gathered at Lebanon, Ohio, for a wedding, when one of the guestß took off his overcoat, from the pocket of which dropped a small pistol. A young lady present picked up the weapon, when Frederick Sophr asked her to hand it to him, in doing which it was discharged, and the ball entered the left cor ner of the right eye of Sophr, causing death instantly. The marriage was deferred, and with Stricken hearts the guests left the scene. The deceased was an enterprising citizen, and has left a wife and three children. . Terrible Famine in Norway—Hundreds Dying Daily. —The English papers have ac counts from Norway, which gfve a painful picture of the suffering of the inhabitants of Lapland and Finland, bordering on the North Cape of Norway. Owing to a failure of the crops, the inhabitants are in a state of starva tion. One account says: “ Hundreds are dyiug daily, and the living are compelled to subsist as they best can, on the bark of ground and cooked with oats. Iu order to alleviate these sufferings charitable committees have been organized on the opposite coasts of the Giilf of Bothnia to collect contributions in kind, such as corn, flour, vegetables and spirits, which will be conveyed to them across the ice in sledges.— As an addition to the suffering of these poor oreatures, the cold is of a severity rarely ex perienced even in these ice-bound countries.” The Rat Poisoning Case—More Mystery —The editor of the New York Day Book, who was at the National Hotel at the time of the Inauguration, rejects th*e rat theory, and sums up a careful article reviewing the whole case as follows: “Horace H. Day, Esq., is now lying very low in this city. He was a boarder there, and, no doubt, is affected precisely as Mrs. Adams. A daughter of Senator James is also very sick and under the charge of Dr. Marcy. Dr. Leon has several patients, including a child of the writer, who is very low. That we have all been poisoned by some substance, daily administered to us in the food, is beyond a question. What that substance was, how or by whom administered, remains a mystery. The proprietors of the house, we are satisfied, have used every effort and means in their power to find out the cause of this wide spread infliction, but in vain. To them it is as pro found a mystery as to any in the land.” And the National Intelligencer thinks that the evil is “not yet eradicated from the estab lishment,” and “may extend itself and involve consequences far more serious than any that have yet occurred.” The published correspondence between Gen. Scott and the Secretary of War, discloses some re markable facts in relation to the disbursement from the secret service fund during the Mexican war.— Tne amount disbursed by Gen. Scott, for information furnished him by the Mexicans, was $255,991,45. — Some of the items are as follows : —For money paid by General Scott to a “ Mexican officer of rauk” for information, $lO,OOO ; to Santa Anna’s servant, a deserter, for Information, $150; and so on through a long list of payments. * • Odd Fellowship.— There are in the United States 3,397 Odd Fellows’ Lodges, comprising 193,614 members. Nearly half a million of dollars have been expended by them daring the last fiscal year for the relief of members and widows and orphans. Their total receipts daring that time were $1,180,- 325. The encampment numbers 23.749 members and has expended during the year $30,693 in char ities out of $102,868 total receipts. FjF°The prophecy of Dr. Cummings, a Scotchman, that the affairs of this world will be wound up on the 13th of next June, is creating considerable ex citement in Paris. The smash will be caused by a tremendous comet coming in contact with the earth. Other “learned Thebans " say that the comet is coming, but they do not believe in the “Bmaah.” Petrified Human Bodies.—We learn from the Allentown Register , that while some workmen were engaged in disinterring the dead bodies in the grave-yard whiqh formerly belonged to the German Methodist congregation of that place, for the purpose of removing them to the cemetry, it was found that the remains of two children who were buried about five years, had become completely petrified—conver ted into hard stone, and two or three partially. The facial features were perfectly^preserved,—the paroh ment-like skin, though seemingly drawn tightly over the bones, still showed something of the manner in which the muscles onoe beneath worked. They were examined by a large number of persons. The gen eral opinion was that the remains had become petri fied through some action of the soil upon them ; bat when the remains_of others were taken up, in adjoin ing graves, they were found to have become almost completely decomposed. .83“ We 'would call the attention of our readers to the card of Messrs TyndaleA Mitchell, No. 707 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, who. offer very great advantages to persons visiting the city In want of Fine or Staple China, Glass , and Common Ware, which they will sell in large or small quantities, to snit the wants of families, at greatly reduced prices.

OS' THE GREATEST DISCOVERY OF THE AOE.“» PROFESSOR WOOD’S HAIR RESTORATIVE.—This preparation, although less than two years before the pub lic, owing to its wonderful iffects upon the human hairand scalp, has already obtained a celebrity and sale perfectly unparallelled. It has withoat the ordinary appliance used for such purposes, won its way, and been heartily welcom ed to most of the cities and towns in the United States the Canadas, and the West India Islands. Nor is this result surprising, when it is remembered that its popularity Is based upon its merits, solely as established by actual tests. That this preparation will actually RESTORE GRAY TTATR TO ITS NATURAL COLOR, produce a luxuriant growth upon the heads of the bald, prevent the hair from falling off, and when used as a toilet article, produce a continual flow of the natural fluids, and thus render the soft, glossy and wavy, destroy diseases of the scalp, and expel dandruff, the certificates of distinguished gentlemen and ladies, in every part of the country who hsve tried it, and therefore speak what they know, most fully attest. Milford, Worcester Co., Mass., Nov. 13th, 1855. Prof. 0. J. Wood—Dear Sir; I take pleasure in bearing voluntary testimony to the magic effects of your wonderful Hair Restorative. As far back as 1836 my hair commenced falling off, until the top of my scalp became bald and smooth as glass, and It has continued to fall for a great many years, notwithstanding I have used many celebrated preparations for its restoration. Seeing your advertisement, I was in duced to give your article a trial, and to my utter astonish ment,. I found after a few applications that my hair became firmly set and assumed a very glossy and beautiful appear ance ; and, by the time I had used a quart bottle full, my bald head was covered over with a young and vigrrons growth of hair, which is now from one to two inches in length, and growing very fast. Yours truly, Re nut Goodrich. From the Boston Herald. Something Worth Knowino ! —By using Professor Wood’s Hair Restorative, gray Hair can be permanently restored to tsoriginal color. The subjoined certificate was received from Johnson k Stone, Gardener, Me., and is but one of the many instances that are daily coming to our knowledge of its wonderful effects. It is no longer problematic, but a self-evident truth, as hundreds can testify. Gardiner, Me., June 22d, 1855. Mr. H. Dtes —Dear Sir: I have used two bottles of Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative, and can truly say it is the great est discovery of the age for restoring and changing the Hair. Before using it I was a man of seventy. My hair has now attained its original color. You can recommend it to the world without the least fear, as my case was one of the worst kiod. Yours, respectfully. I have used Prof. 0. J. Wood’s Hair Restorative, and have admired its wonderful effect. My hajr was becoming, as I thought, prematurely gray, but by the use of his Restora tive it has resumed its original color, and I have no doubt, permanently so. SIDNEY BREESE, Ex-Senator United States. The Greatest Discovery of the Age.—lt seldom occurs, that we notice, under any circumstances, patent medicines, restorativet, or anything of tho kind, for we have a preju dice against m stof them. But camlor compels us to in vite attention to the advertisement of Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative. We are too juvenile to require anything of the kind, but some instances of its use have come to our knowledge which almost assure us that it is a sovereign remedy against the hair becoming prematurely gray. It Is not a “ Hair Dye;” but upon its application as directed, the effect is produced on the skin, which brings out the origin nal native colored hair, without stiffness, and gives it a glos syand natural appearance..

Luring twenty years’ practice, I have restored to health over sev enteen thousand patients, who were suffering under the worst forms of oil the above mentioned diseases, which guarantees me in promising a perfect and most speedy cure. Secret diseases are the greatest enemies to health and happiness, as they are the first cause of consumption, scrofula, Ac., and should be a terror to all nations on earth; for the disease ig becoming so common, and treatment no little understood, that a permanent cure is scarcely ever effected, as a majority of tbo cases fall into the hands of incompetent persons, who not only fail to cure the malady, but ruin the constitution with corrosive sublimate—a dangerouß poison, a preparation of mercury—which, with the remains of disease in the system, produces many of the above named affections, which finally terminate in con» sumption, aud frequently a rapid one; bnt should it not cause death speedily, and the victim to disease marries, the disease is then conveyed from the parent to the children, causing them to come Into the world with scrofula, affec tlons of the skin, eyes, throat, Ac., and again terminates in consumption, and consigns its victim to an untimely grave, between the ages of six months and thirty-five years.— Self-abuse is another formidable enemy to health; it de stroys the nervous system, rapidly wasting away the ener gies of life, causing mental derangement, preventing a proper development of the system, and disqualifying its victim for marriage, society, business, and all earthly hap piness.
