A great deal of rain baa fallen since onr last date and
the rirers continue in fine boating order to all points.
The late frost has done no damage to the crops in the West
and South, but we Hear of some complaint in the North
west, but believe the injury to the crops has been greatly
exaggerated. An immense yield is promised. The receipts
of Produce have been fair during the week, and sales on
’Change Saturday were—Tobacco from $2,95 to $8,95 ;
Hemp from $lOO to $165 per ton; Bope 7 to 7%c; Lead
$5,20; Flour from $8 to $7 ; Wheat 90c to $1,33; Corn 60
to 97c; Oats 50 to 60c; Eye 90c; Whisky 26%c; Hides
16c; and Hay 75 to 80c per 100 lbs.
A man by the name of Lamb was executed in this city
on Friday last, for the murder of bis wife.
Houser, another man sentenced to be hung, has appealed
to the Supreme Court, but the chances are ten to one
against him.
Thornton, the murderer of Mr. Joseph Charless is still
securely confined in our county JaiL His trial will proba
bly take place in Jnly.
Mr. John Wise and Mr. Gager arrived in onr city on
Saturday last, and contemplate making their serial voyage
across the country about the latter part of this week.—
They are busy making their arrangements for Gas,a
suitable lot, &c. The newspapers yesterday and this morn
ing have a great deal to say in regard to the trans conti
nental voyage, and from a conversation with Mr. Wise,
we find him confident of accomplishing the end for which
he has staked his reputation. Mr. Lamountain, in charge
of the Balloon, is expected to arrive to-day, when they wip
at once set oat and go ahead with their experimental, and,
we may say, perilous undertaking. We will give your
readers all the particulars concerning their visit hero, and
their final departure for the Atlantic seaboard. Look out
for the Balloon.
We have scarcely an item of intoret to communicate,
other than the one above mentioned. A great many peo

for the Falls of St. Anthony.
The last week has brought intelligence from the Pike’s
Peak Gold Mines, of the most encouraging character. It
would seem that gold has been discovered in large qu«D.
titles, and this news has again given some little attention
to that country. llow true these reports are, we cannot
say—not having a good impression, in the first place, of
the productiveness of that country, we are still inclined
to the belief that humbnggery is the order of the pro
gramme. It Is true, that some who have returned to the
States, believe these reports to be forrect, whilst others
equally reliable, pronounce them gammon, and the work
of speculators. We have seen no good reason why we
should believe these encouraging reports. The great suf
fering and loss of life among the emigrants wilt never be
known, and the man who undertakes and gets through
the hardships of a trip to Pike’s Peak and back, is entitled
to a fortune—for bo has to pay dearly for it.
Oqr Black Republican City Administration have got
into a.family quarrel, and tho war is waxing warmer day
after day. The Mayor sent in to the Pity Council the uamo
of D A. Rollings for Chief of Pi»! i. i- a position he has hold
during the past year without the o:Hent and sanction of
the Council—and he was rejected. He s»nt it in the sec
ond time, and a second tune ho wm rejected; he again sent
It the third time, with a throat (hat unless he was con
finned,he, tho Mayor, would resign, and for (ho third time
Rollings was rejected. There is, therefore, considerable
fluttering in the Black Republican camp—those not in tho
secrets of fhn Mayor and his advis-rs, are momentarily ex
pecting to hear of the resignation of Mayor Fllley, but those
“ posted ” anticipate no such action on tho part of the
Mayor. We hardly think the Mayor will resign.

FROM WASHINGTON.
The European War—The Philadelphia Navy
Yard Bids—Douglas Defines his Position.
Washington, Jane 23, 1859.
The opinion among gentlemen connected
with the diplomatic corps is, that although the
Governments of Europe not engaged in the
present hostilities are desirous of and hope for
peace, the complications are so great that
there is almost an impossibility of preventing
a general war. In such an event there is no
doubt but that Russia will array herself with
France.
S. Calwell is the lowest bidder for supplying
the Philadelphia Navy Yard with coal, under
the advertisement of the Bureau of Nary
Yards and Docks. Walden Porter of Boston
will supply the Gosport and Brooklyn Navy
Yards, and the Naval Asylum of Philadelphia,
and Philander Armes, the Boston Navy Yard.
All the bids for supplying coal are unusually
low —all of them are within $4 a, ton, and
some of them are as low as $3 14. j These are
the first lettings under the recent law requir
ing coal for naval purposes to be procured by
contract, it having previously been purchased
by coal agents.
The bids for some of the other stores adver
tised for by the Bureau of Yards and Docks
exhibit the fact of artful calculations with a
view of securing awards. As an instance,
writing paper at several mills only a ream, the
proposer being aware that there is compara
tively but little of it used, while high prices
are charged on other articles, the design being
to secure a lower aggregate bid than other
competitors who are not so well acquainted
with this particular “ trici of the trade/' but
which is not uncommon in offering for Govern
ment contracts.
The friendsVf Judge Douglas here are in
possession of the following letter explaining
his position on the subject of the Presidency,
and of which they have permitted a copy to
be taken for publication :
Washington June 22, 1859.
Dear Sir : I have received your letter
inquiring whether my friends are at liberty to
present my name to the Charleston Convention
for the Presidential nomination.
Before the question can be finally deter
mined, it will be necessary to understand
distinctly upon what issues the canvass is to
be conducted. If, as I have full faith they
will, the Democratic party shall determine, in
the Presidential election of 1860, to adhere to
the principles embodied in the Compromise
Measures'of 1850, and ratified by the people
in the Presidential election of 1852, and
reaffirmed in the Kansas Nebraska act of 1853,
and incorporated into the Cincinnati platform
in 1856, as expounded by Mr. Buchanan in
his letter accepting the nomination, and
approved by tjie people—in that event my
friends will be at liberty to present my name
to the Convention if they see proper to do so.
If on the contrary it shall become the policy
of the Democratic party, which I cannot
anticipate, to repudiate these their time
honored principles, on which we Ijave achieved
so many patriotic triumphs, and in lieu of
them the Convention shall interpolate into the
creed of the party such new iasues as the
revival of the African slave trade, or a Con
gressional slave code for the Territories, or the
doctrine that the Constitution of the United
States either establishes or prohibits slavery
in the Territories beyond the power of the
people legally to control it as other property,
it is due to candor to say that in such an event
I could not accept the nomination if tendered
me. Trusting that this answer will be deemed
sufficiently explicit,
I am very respectfully your friend,

INTERESTING DETAILS.

NAPOLEON'S GREAT VICTORY.
ILLUMINATIONS AND REJOICINGS AT PARIS AND
Official Report of the Passage at Tnrhlgo.
New York, Jane 22.
By the arrival of the Persia and Ocean
Queen we have additional details*of the war
news.
General Canrobert is not dead, nor is he
mortally woanded.
It is generally conceded that the French
won a great victory at Magenta, as the Aus
trians had not only abandoned Milan, bat
retreated along the whole line. The loss of
the French is believed to be greater than the
dispatches of the Emperor admit.
Paris was not only illuminated, in honor of
the great victory, bat cannon were firing from
all the forts and military positions in and
around Paris, and on the 7th, at noon, Notre
Dame was filled with the presence of the great
officers of the Empire, and of the military
under the lead of the Empress, chaunting the
the Te Deum, in thanks for the victory. The
Empress and the Princess Clotilde were
received in the streets, on the way, with the
Ikehe-it demonstrations of enthusiasm.
Duringtheceremony the Empress announced
to the Minister of War that the Generals Mc-
Mahon and Regnßult de Saint Jean d'Angely
had been made Marshals by the Emperor, on
the field of battle. r
The body of Gen. Espinasse (killed at
Magenta) has been embalmed, to he taken
home to France. The Empress herself caused
the death of Gen. Clerc to be announced to
his wife as having died “ gloriously."
Havre, on the 7th and on the night of the
7th, was in a high state of excitement and
glee over the victory. Flags adorned all*the
public places and many of the private houses.
The ladies of France, under the direction of
the Empress, were all engaging in the making
of fint for the wounded of the French, and
Austrian army taken prisoners. The wife of
the Minister of War had started the movement
which was becoming fashionable and general.
This loud official call for lint, shows what
havoc war is making in the army.
It was on Sunday that the despatch’ from
the Emperor reached the Empress. She caused
it’to be printed in placards on the streets, and
to be telegraphed to the Prefects throughout
all Franco, so that on Sunday evening and
night, the rejoicing was general in the Empire.
The Empress, herself, on Sunday night rode
through some of the principal streets, where
the crowds thronged her carriage, and even
cluDg to the wheels, crying out in the loudest
terms—long live the Emperor, the Empress,
and the young Prince, too, who was not for
gotten.
OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF THE PABSAGE AT TURBIGO.
The following is the official report of Gen
eral McMahon, addressed to the Emperor:
Headquarters. June 3.— Sire:
As I have already had the honor of informing
your Majesty, in a first report, the enemy blew
up the bridge of San Martino, yesterday, at
about 5 o'clock in the evening, retreating to
the left bank of the Ticino.
This morning, at daybreak, Gen. Espihasse
advanced with a brigade to the tete de pont,
which the Austrians had abandoned at his
approach. lie found there two mortars, two
field pieces, and some ammunition wagons.
According to your Majesty's orders, the 2nd
Corps left Novara this morning at half past 8
for Turbigo, with a view to cross the bridge
over the Ticino, which had been constructed
'the previous night, under the protection of
the division of the Voltigeurs of the Imperial
Guard.
On arriving at Turbigo I found a brigade of
that division on the right bank of the Ticino,
occupying the village and neighborhood, so as
to assure us the free possession of the bridge,
and covering the valley above the village. The
other brigade of Camou’s division was on the
right bank.
The head of the column of the Ist division
of the 2d corps crossed the bridge at half past
one. While visiting Turbigo, and reconnoit
ering the heights of Rebecchetto, with a view
to placemy men, I suddenly found an Austrian
column within 500 metres of me, apparently
comiDg from Buffalora with the intention of
occupying Rebecchetto.
Rebecchetto is situated on the left bank
of the river Ticino, on the east, about two
kilometres from Turbigo. It is a large village
which may be easily defended, and which it
would be very advisable to occupy to oppose
an enemy coming from Milan or Magenta
with the intention of contesting the passage
at Turbigo. The village is situated on a
horizontal plain fifteen or twenty metres above
the valley of the Ticino. Leaving Turbigo it
may be reached by two roads, practicable for
artillery, one south, the other west.
The high road from Magenta and Buffalora
runs east. The latter is the road taken by the
Austrian column. I ordered Gen. De la Mot
terouge, who had only the regiment of
Algerian riflemen with him, his other regi
ments being still on the left bank of the river,
to advance with his three battalions of Rifle
men on Rebecchetto, and to placo them in
three columns of attack, as follows:
OLD GUARD.
The first battalion, forming the right in
column by division, preceded by two compa
nies of sharpshooters, to attack the village on
the south aide.
The third battalion, forming the left, simi
larly organized, to attack the village on the
west side.
The second battalion, in the centre some
what in the rear, forming the reserve, ready
to support either battalion, also in oolumn,
with advanced sharpshooters.
The three columns, gradually advancing,
were, at a given signal, to concentrate on
Rebecchetto, and entering the main street,
which runs from west to east, were to endea
vor to cut off the enemy's retreat.
While Gen. de la Motterouge was carrying
out these manoeuvres with the Algerian rifle
men, I, myself, took the requisite steps to
bring up the other regiments of his division.
The 45th of the line, second regiment of the
first brigade, received the order to follow the
track of the Algerian riflemen.
About 2 o'clock General de la Motterouge
advanced with his three battalions on Rebec
chetto, followed by a battery of the general
reserve of the army, directed by General
Auger in person.
The columns of the Algerian riflemen, urged
on by the voice of General do la Motterouge,
and by their colonel, advanced on Rebecchetto
without firing.
They were received by a heavy fire of mus
ketry from the Austrians, whereupon they
charged with the bayonet. In ten minutes
they had cleared the village of the enemy.—
At the outlet of the village they brought their
guns into play, and fired some 12 rounds of
grape, which had no effect in stopping the
ardor of our men. Our gunß opened in reply
with such success that the enemy was obliged
to run for it. The riflemen followed them to
within two kilometres beyond Rebecchetto,
and killed a great number. Gen. Auger, by
making his battery take up four different posi
tions, happily selected, did them great damage.
In one of these positions General Auger,
fancying he perceived an Austrian gun in the
high corn, that bad some difficulty in follow
ing the retreat of the others, galloped up to
it and took of it. Near the gun
he found the officer in charge cut in two by a
cannon shot.
While this was taking place at Rebecchetto,
a column of Austrian cavalry appeared on
our left coming from Castano.
I advanced a battalion of the 95th and two
field pieces against it. Two shots sufficed to
make it retreat.
The enemy has suffered considerably. The
field of battle is covered with dead, and arms
of all sorts. We have not made many pris
oners, which is explained by the nature of the
ground upon which we fought.
On our side we lost one captain killed
(Capt. Vannechout,) four officers wounded,
one a colonel of the staff, (M. de Laveaucou
pet,) several soldiers killed, and thirty-eight
wounded, amongst whom four, I am told, are
Yoltigeurs of the Garde, whose sharpshooters
were engaged with the enemy in the rear of
Rebecchetto.
I cannot, as yet,„ Sire, give your Majesty
the precise details of this affair, which gives
an additional proof of what your Majesty
may expect from our soldiers since they have
entered on the campaign.
* I have not as yet received the official reports
of those who most distinguished themselves.
All bravely and worthily did their duty ; but
I may point out to your Majesty, General de
la Motterouge as having given proof of irre
sistible energy ; General Auger, for the deeds
mentioned above, and whioh, according to our
military code, deserve mention in the general
army orders; Laveaucoupefc, who, while fight
ing hand to hand with the Austrian riflemen,
received a bayonet wound: in Oolo-
Del Laura, of the Algerian Rifles, for the skill
with which he broagbt his men against the
enemy.
I remain, Sire, your Majesty's
Very humble and obedient servant-,
De M'Mahon.
THE VERY LATEST FROM*EUROPE,
» New York, June 22.
The following letter was written np to the
latest moment of the sailing of the Persia:
Liverpool, June 11, 3.30 P. M.
The Government has been defeated by a
majority of 13. The Post points out she
incapacity of the Government daring the
crisis of the last six months, io foreign affairs.
At one period it outraged, diplomatic decencv
by holding up to indignation the conduct ol
France and Sardinia towards the Austrians,
and a few days after made the same attack
with laudable impartiality in her turn on
Austria. The result was that, both at Paris
and Vienna, the influence of the English
Cabinet was set at nought.
The Queen's speech is to be ** considered "
on Friday next, until which day the House of
Commons is adjourned. The Advertiser says
Lord Derby and his colleagues will this day
place their resignation in the hands of Her
Majesty. Lord Palmerston will receive com
mands to form a new Ministry. Messrs.
Gibson, Cobden, Cardoell, Herbert, Duke of
Newcastle, and Lord Elgin, are spoken of as
likely to enter the new Cabiuet. The Times
says now begins the real difficulty of the
crisis, "unless the majority agree to siiik
differences we shall not have an united aud
strong administration."
THE WAR IN ITALY.
Accounts from the seat of war are still very
contradictory, but all agree in the tact that
the victory is on the side of the French and
Sardinians.
The Moniteur says that 5000 prisoners
have arrived at Marseilles and Toulon. The
Austrians have evacuated Paria, and are said
to be at Lodi. The Allied armies are advanc
ing. Garibaldi occupied Berganio on the
morning of the Bth, and having learned that
1500 Austrians were coming from Brescia,
sent detachments to meet them which, though
inconsiderable in numbers, nevertheless beat
them. Forty-three Austrian vessels have been
captured.
United States Surveys in Utah.— The
Mormon difficulties disbanded the clerks and
put an end to the operations of the United
States surveys in Utah some two years since.
Operations are, however, about to be resumed,
and instructions to Samuel C. Stambaugb,
esq., the newly appointed surveyor general,
have just been completed by the Acting Com
missioner of the General Land Office. The
new surveyor general is directed, immediately
upon his arrival in Utah, to report to Governor
Cumming, and receive from him the archives
of the Utah Surveyor General's Office ; mak
ing such representations and taking such
measures as may insure a speedy collection of
such of the archives of the office, at the time
the olerks were disbanded, as yet remain in
the Territory. Measures will be taken by the
General Land Office to supply all deficiencies,
to the end that operations may as speedily as
possible, be commenced. Tb 6 condition of
the service in Utah is such as to require at
present do additional surveying. • The lands
already surveyed amount to 2,000,000
acres, and are ample for the demand.
As affidavits have been filed in the GeneAl
Land Office representing certain surveys
made under contract with Messrs. Trosko
lawski, Mogo and Burr to be 'fraudulent, it
is deemed proper, before beginning original
surveys, that these surveys, agamst the legit
imacy of which affidavits are filed, should be
rigidly tested, and the true condition ol affairs
reported to the General Land Office. Other
specific -directions and details are given, and
the new surveyor general placed in the pos
session of such information as will enable
him to act advisedly in the premises.— Wash
ington Constitution.
The Crops. —The accounts from all parts
of the country visited by the late frost report
the injary to the crops to be infinitely less
than was at first apprehended. The Cleve
land Herald states that Mr. J. 11. Klippart,
Secretary of the State Board of Agriculture,
has been over the most of the wheat belt of
the Ohio, through Guernsey, Licking, Knox,
Fairfield, Delaware, Richland, Crawford and
Ashland counties. He has Examined wheat
fields, personally, wherever he has been, con
versed with farmers, made the subject his
study, and concludes that there will be three
fourths what there would have been harvested
under any circumstances.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer
' under date of Indianapolis, June 13th, writes:
—“The accountof damage by frost on the
sth inst,, has been greatly exaggerated, I
can discover no trace of frost whatever, and
from all I can learn from different parts of
the State, the prospect of all kinds of crops
was never more flattering. Fruit will be an
average yield. Corn looks well. Wheat
never was better, tke heads in fields that I
have examined have six rows of grains in
place of lour—die usual number. Most of
the wheat is now full in the milk, and the
harvest will be from ten days to two weeks
earlier than usual in Indiana, which will put
wheat out of the way of rust, so that the
fact of a large yield throughout the State is
now reduced to a certainty.
“ Railroads in the Interior.” —Forney's
Philadelphia Press, of "Wednesday, in the
course of an article under the above head,
says :
Wedonot share the appretensions entertain
ed by some of our friends h regard to the
railroad which has placed tht important city
of Reading in direct communhation with New
York, by means of the New Jersey, Lehigh
Valley, and East Penna. Railroads. On the
contrary, we hail every such enterprise with
satisfaction, believing that nothing can stop
the progress of our great city, lying, as it does,
in the very lap of trade, and destined, as it is,
to command in the future an immense propor
tion of domestic commorce. We art, therefore,
rejoiced to see the movement in Berks and
Lancaster counties for tht building of a new
branch, in connection wife the above road
from Reading to Lancaster or Columbia ; and
we place our trust in the fact, that that which
the incalculably wealthy mineral
and agricultural region though; which this
proposed line is intended topass, must react
favorably upon our metropoh. Philadelphia
is to Reading, to Lancaster, Easton, and to
all the towns east and west of\us, not only a
centre of attraction or point of trade but a
city upon which the affection of the people
are unchangeably fixed, and t should be our
study to omit no act for the ecouragement of
this feeling.”
MURDER IN PITTSBURGH.
Pittsbdr®, June 25.
About nine o'clock last nigt, policeman
Richard Jones, killed his wife by stabbing
her several times and then shooti.o- her, muti
lating the body in a shocking He
immediately surrendered himself t the public
authorities, alleging that he had -*ommitted
the deed while she was in the act o adultery
with a butcher named Mentzer.
It is said that Mentzer was also t* o t and
had fallen into the river, the affairhaving
taken place on the upper Monongahela} r jdge..
Ramors that Mentzer was seen this m r ning
unhurt lack confirmation.
Mr. Jones' wife had been a

had served a two yearß imprisonment inthe
State Prison for stabbing a man.
Mr. Jones has "highly respectable cona

Reaping the Harvest.—We feel to
sympathy for the speculators in Sugars in out
large Atlantic cities, who are now alout to
reap the reward of their labors. It appears
from a statement, that there is'now steed in
the cities of New York, Boston, Philatelphia
and Baltimore,' 105,740 hogsheads of ugar;
nearly twice as much as is required to meet
the demands of legitimate trade. The pesent
value is about $BO per hogshead ; or fe the
whole amount, $8,500,000. A depreciatin in
the price, of one cent per lb. would invoke a
loss of about a million. A further define
will doubtless soon follow, when lose
who undertook to speculate upon one ofthe
necessaries of life will find that they haveiot
“ turned an honest penny” into their

dition was never cured by cathartics, whose only office is
to weaken the digestion and impair the integrity of the
assimilative system.

4®* Prof. Duvall’s Galvanic Oil.--The
Great Rheumatic and Neuralgiac Remedy.
SUFFERING HUMANITY READ THIS
The undersigned takes this method of informing the
public generally that there is no medicine now offered to
the public that is equal to DUVALL’S GALVANIC OIL in
relieving suffering humanity.
I was an observer of its effects in a friend of mine, who
suffered almost everything from a neuralgic affection which
resisted the best medical treatment in Centre county. We
applied freely the Galvanic Oil to the painful part, and
gave some inwardly, and in 20 minutes the patient was
asleep, and when awakened was free from pain, and con
tinued so. This is a positive fact which I am willing to
make good at any time. A case of Felon was cured in
nearly the same length of time.
J. H. HANN, Centre Hill,
Centre county, Pa.
Hear what Mrs. Vaughn of Duncansville says:
I have used the Galvanic Oil prepared by J. D. Stoneroad,
of Lewistown, Pa., for a very painful disease myself and
recommend it to others, aDd In every case found it to be
one of the very best medicines for sore and painful dis
eases. Relieves all pain in a few minutes. Every family
should have it in the bouse.
Altoona, Blair county, July 3,1858.
J. D. Stoneroad, Lewistown, Pa.
Dear Sir —Mr. Wm. Turnbangh ha 6 been suffering
several years from rheumatism, got so ill that bis friends
and relatives were summoned to witness his death. I in
duced his friends to try the virtue of your preparation—
they did so, as the last resort; and, to their astonishment
and joy, he began to improve, got better and better, and
now, so far as I know, he is a hale and stout man This is
not tho ODly case where the Galvanic Oil has surpassed
human expectations. In every case where I have recom
mended the Oil, it has done what it promises to do. Send
us another s2o’s worth.
Yours truly, H. LEHER.

BT THE BARD OF TOWBR HALL.
I stood upon a garden walk
One dewy, evening hour,
With cousin Lucy by my side,
Tbe garden’s fairest flower.
I stooped and placed my hand upon
Some tulips growing there,
And, looking up to Lucy, said :
“These flowers are very fair;
“ So beautiful, that in my heart
1 have an earnest wish
That you’ll allow me, Lucy dear,
Your tulips here to kißB.”
She, laughing, said, “ What joke is this
My sentimental cousin—
Give them a kiss if that’s your wish,
Or, if you please, a dozen!”
I placed my arm around her neck
So snowy white and fair,
And full a dozen kisses left
Upon her two lips there.
“ N'ow, Coz,” said I, “you seethe joke
I perpetrated neatly ”
“Go way said she, “I am provoked,
You’ve cozened mo completely 1”
“ Oh! say not ‘ cozened,’ ” I replied
“ No fraud have I intended
I acted on the golden rule
In that which has offended ;
“ Your tempting lips cannot deny
That I have loved you dearly—
I’ve done to you as I would hove
You do to rae—that merely.”
She blushed, and said, “ That rule was made
For masters and for misses.
And, acting on it now, myself,
I give you back your kisses !”
Then followed vows, and soon there came
A happy eve, that found ns
Well practiced in the “ golden rule,”
With golden chain around us;
And that was Hymen’s chain of love
That most delightful tether—
That binds a happy twain as one.
To live and love together.
My wife would add a postscript here,
And, therefore, she shall pen it—
P. S.—My husband's wedding 6uit
I made him buy of Bennett;
And as, since then, he’s ever bought
At Tower Hall his raiment,
He has my love, and tor respect
He is a worthy claimant.

BY B. DE LANEY, M. D.
The important fact that the many alarming complaints,
originating in the imprudence and solitude of youth, may
be easily removed without Medicine, is in this small tract
clearly demonstrated; and the entirely new and highly
successful treatment, as adopted by the Author, folly ex-
Elained, by means of which every one is enabled to care
imself perfectly and at the least possible cost, thereby
avoiding all the advertised nostrums of the day.

Avor’s Sarsaparilla
' A compound remedy, in which we hove la
bored to produce the most effectual alterative
that can be made. It is a concentrated extract
of Para Sarsaparilla, so combined with other
substances of still greater alterative power as
to afford an effective antidote ior the
Sarsaparilla is reputed to cure. It is believed
that such a remedy is wanted by those who
suffer from Strumous complaints, and that one
which will accomplish their cure must move
of immense service to this large class of our
afflicted fellow-citizens. How completely this
compound will do it has been proven by exper
iment on many of the.worst cases to be found
of the following complaints:
Scrofula and Scrofulous Complaints,
Eruptions and Eruptive Diseases, Ulcers,
DR. JOHN MARTIN,
WILLIAM PICKEL,
Assignees.
Pimples, Blotches, Tumors, Sat/p Rheum,
Scald Head, Syphilis and Syphilitic Af
fections, Mercurial Disease, Dropsy, Neu
ralgia or Tio Douloureux, Debility, Dys
pepsia and Indigestion, Erysipelas, Bose
or St. Anthony’s Fire, and indeed the whole
class of complaints arising from Impurity of
the Blood.
Admlnistratora.
This compound will be found a great pro
moter of health, when taVpn in the spring, to
expel the foul humors which fester in the
blood at that season of the year. By the time
ly expulsion of them many rankling disorders
are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by
the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from
the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous
sores, through which the system will strive to
rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do
this through the natural channels of the "body
by an alterative medicine. Cleanso-but the
vitiated blood whenever you
bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions,
or sores; cleanse it when you find it is ob-'
structed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it
whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell
you when. Even where no particular disorder
is felt, people enjoy better health, and live
longer, for cleansing the blood. Seem the
blood healthy, and all is well; but with thin
pabulum of life disordered, there can be no
lasting health. Sooner or later something**
must go wrong, and the great machinery of
life is disordered or overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the
reputation, of accomplishing these ends. But
the world has been egregiously deceived by
preparations of it, partly because the drug
alone has not all the virtue that is claimed
for it, but more because many preparations,
pretending to be concentrated extracts of it,
contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla,
or any thing else.
During late years the public have been mis
led by large bottles, pretending to give a quart
of Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most
of these have been frauds upon the sick, for
they not only contain little, if any, Sarsapa
rilla, but often no curative properties whatev
er. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment
has followed the use of the various extracts of
Sarsaparilla which flood the market, until the
name itself is justly despised, and has become
synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still
we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend
to supply 6uch a remedy os shall rescue the *
name from the load of obloquy- which rests
upon it. And we think we have ground for
believing it has virtues which are irresistible
by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intend
ed to cure. In order to secure their complete
eradication from the system, the remedy should
be judiciously taken according to directions on
the bottle.

These Machines sew from two spools, as purchased from
the store, requiring no re-winding ofthread; they Hem,
Fell, Gather and Stitch in a superior style, finishing each
seam by their own operation, without recourse to the hand
needle, as is required by other machines. They will do
better and cheaper sewing than a seamstress can, even if
she works for one cent an hour, and are, unquestionably,
the best Machines in tbo market for family sewing, on ac
count of their simplicity, durability, ease of management,
and adaptation to all varieties of family sewing—executing
either heavy or fine wo*k with equal focllity, and without
special adjustment.

chinos, the Grover A Baker Sewing Machine Company beg
leave to respectfully refer to the following
TESTIMONIALS.
“Having had one of Grover A Baker’s Machines In my

mending it as every way reliable for the purpose for which
it is designed—Family Sewing.’*— Mrs. Joshua Leavitt, wife
of Rev. Dr. Leavitt, Editor of N. T. Independent. V

been in my family for many months. It has always been
ready for duty, requiring no adjustment, and Is easily
adapted to every variety of family sewing, by simply
changing the spools of thread.”— Mrs. Elizabeth Strickland,
wife of Rev. Dr. Strickland, Editor New Fork Christian
Advocate.
“After trying several differentgood machines, I preferred
yours, on account of its simplicity, and the perfect ease
with which it Is managed, as well as the strength and du
rability of the seam. After long experience, I feel compe
tent to speak in this manner, and to confidently recommend
It for every variety of family sewing.”— Mrs. K B. Spooner,
wife of the Editor of Brooklyn Star.
“I have used a Grover & Baker Sewing Machine for two
years, and have found it adapted to all kinds of family
sewing, from Cambric to Broadcloth. Garments have been
worn out without the giviog way of a stitch. The Machine
is easily kept In order, and easily used.”— Mrs.A.B. Whip
ple. wife of Rev. Geo. Whipple, New Fork.
“Your SewiDg Machine has been In use In my family the
past two years, and the ladles reqncat mo to give you their

saving qualities’ in the performance of family and house
hold sewing.” —Robert Boorman, New Fork.
“For several months we havo used Grover A Baker’s

every lady who desires her sowing beautifully and quickly
done, would be most fortunate in possessing one of these
reliable and indefatigable ‘iron needle women.’ whose com
bined qualities of beauty, strength, and simplicity, are in

Editor of the Some Journal.
Extract of a letter from Thos. R. Leavitt, Esq., an Amer
ican gentleman, now resident In New South Wales, dated
January 12, 1858:
“I bad a tent made iu Melbourne, In 1853, In which there
were over three thousand yards of sewing done with one
of Grover A Baker’s Machines, and a single seam of that
has outstood all the double seams sewed by sailors with a
needle and twine.”
“If Homer could be called np from his murky hades, he
would sing the advent of Grover A Baker as a more benig
nant miracle of art than was ever Vulcan’s smithy He
would denounce midnight shirt-making,as ‘the direful
spring of woes unnumbered.’ ” — Prof. North.
“I take pleasure in saying that the Grnver A Baker Sew
ing Machines have more than sustained my expectation.—
After trying and returning others, I have three of them in
operation in my different places, and, after four years’ trial/
have no fault to find.”—/. S. Hammond, Senator of South
Carolina. •
“My wife has had one ofGrover A Baker’s Family Sewing S’
Machines for some time, and I am satisfied It Is one of
best labor-saving maebioes that has been Invented. I take
much pleasure in recommending it to the public.”— L G '
Harris, Governor of Tennessee.
“It is a beautiful thing, And puts everybody into an ex- ,
citoment of good humor. Were I a Catholic, I should Insist
upon Saints Grover and Baker having an eternal holiday
in commemoration of their good deeds for humanity
Oassixts M. Clay.
“I think it bjr far the best patent in ose. This Machine
can be adapted from the finest cambric to the heaviest eas»
slmere. It sews stronger, faster, and more beautifully
one can imagine. If mine could not be replaced, money
conld not boy it.”— Mrs. J. G. Brown, NaxhviOt, Tcnn.
