There were but 77 interments in the different city came•
billies during the past week.
We have had several murders in our city since the date
of our last. A German, named Henry Meyers, a - carpenter
by trade, was shot and killed by a band of burglars. The
• villains also shot at an officer as he approached the scene
of blood, the ball grazing the skin of the neck of the offi
.cer. The murderer's name is Henry Dugan. Five of the
band have been arrested.
On the following day — a man named Frederick William
Bmidt was found dead in his room, having his throat cut
from ear to ear. His room-mate, a German, name unknown,
has not been seen since, and there is no doubt but that .he
committed the murder. The officers are on his track, and
will no doubt arrest him in a few days.
Besides these, there have been others, found dead, and
it is supposed that the hand of the assassin has done the
work. But our laws are so loose that ninety-nine out of a
hundred never get their deserts.
John L. Eversileld wag robbed a few nights since of a
considerable amount, whilst asleep in a state-room on a
steamboat.
The steamer Castle Garden while in a gale of wind, above
Cairo, sunk in deep water. She had on board 6000 bags of
'corn and twenty head ofrhorses. The horses were saved,
but the cargo is reported almost a total loss.
Lola Montez, the Countess of Landefelt, is now lecturing,
to the people of the city, on the peculiarities of the
English character, as observed by herself. The subject of
her first lecture (Friday night) was "John Bull at Home."
She had a very large and respectable audience, and all
seemed pleased with the lecture.
Our Legislature has done comparatively nothing since
its convening. The Free Negro Bill has been pasted. The
Itairead Bill, to give further aid to the different roads of
this State, will be takes up this week. There seems to be
a strong feeling against further aid, but the friends of the
bill claims that it will pees.
The great $lOO,OOO breach of promise case—Carztang vs.
Shaw, Is now progressing in the Court of Commoiz Pleas.
A Jury has been secured. It embraces many men who
don't read newspapers, don't take any, never heard of
Henry Show, newr heard of Miss Carztang. It Is
said that the costs of this suit have already run np to
$lO,OOO.
The slave, Lewis, who recently murdered Dr. Reitt, of
Florida, has been tried, found guilty and immediately
hung. He confessed hie guilt, but he refused to make any
statement implicating others, though it was evident he
had not, performed the - diabolical act alone. He expressed
no sorrow for having committed the awful crime, and
viewed the preparations for his execution with stolid
indifference.
The friends of Judge Bates have given publicity to the
•statement that be had emancipated his slaves. So far
from this being the case, it is undeniable that they ran
away from him, and he used every means in his power to
recapture them. Thus,it leaks out, that from a philan
thropist and an emancipationist he becomes a "slave
catcher" and a " kidnapper."
Hats the man that sear Black Republicans want to make
the Chicago nominee. Is he not a pretty standard-bearer
for the Abolition party. No consistent Black Republican
can vote for him iu Convention or out of it.
Last Saturday was laid out as a great day for St. Louis.
Business men and retail dealers had their stores re-painted
and their shelves re-arranged, for the occasion, thinking
I tbat 40, 000, 000 peoplewou ld be in our city to participate
iq the grand •! State" Convention of the Abolitionists,
'and that their sales would far exceed their stocks—some
of them had their mosey drawers , enlarged, and a police
force engaged to prevent any over-crowding or undue dis
turbance whilst making their purchases. The Morning
came, the sun as usual rose clear and bright, and retail
dealers imagined themselves rich. Twelve o'clock arrived,
the hour for calling the Convention to order, but no 40,-
000,000 people had arrived. The leaders of this grand
burlesque thought it heat to postpone the calling of the
Convention until 2 o'clock, which was dose. Two o'clock
came, and not fifty persons made their appearance. They
waited a little longer, but no more came. The getters up
of this grand scheme, feeling sore at the'sorry sight before
them, determined to make a start, if it proved to be the last
act of their political lives. A.dozen more of our citizens
entered, and B. Gratz Brown sons chosen chairman, with
the usual number of Vice Presidents and Secretaries. Mr.
Brown stated the object of the Convention to be the select
ion of eighteen delegates to represent the great State of
Missouri—the Border Ruffians—ln the Chicago Convention:"
He said it was the first strike for freedom in a slave State
—which proved to be s grand fizzle. We have seen city
conventions, indeed ward meetings, five times more nu
merously attended than this State Convention. He
eulogized the Abolition muse and wished it God speed, if
they could not carry their point in Missouri, they could
do so in patriotic Massriehusetts, where dwells the immor
tal Banks! After organization, a committee was appointed
to draft a platform for the Republican party of the nation.
They retired to an ante-room for that purpose. At this
stage of the proceediqgs there were not over one hundred
persons present—including National Democrats—who
were more numerous than the opposition—Know Nothings,
shouting for Bates—Old Line Whigs, disgusted at the use
of the name of Edward Bates—Union men, laughing in
their sleeves at the burlesque going on—nondescripts,
first in favor of, and then opposed to everything that was
done.
We will here state, for the information of the Black Re
publicans abroad, that nevertheless this was styled a
"Black Republican State Convention," there was not a
single delegate elected from any county In the State, to it.
Our city always contains from 1000 to 3000 strangers, and
of course, from different parts of the State, and nowith
standing this fact, there were not a dozen, outside of our
citizens participated with-the hundred men composing the
Convention, and this dozen who did participate, were
sympathizers with Mr. Bates—they would vote for him but
for no one else nominated at Chicago. Even St Louis
elected no delegates to this State Convention, nor did a
single county in the State! It was composed of a hetero
geneous mass of office-seeking politicians. Every body
was allowed to - participate, and we believe all in the con
vention had something to say. During the absence of the
Committee—which was two long hours— patching up a
platform for the Republicans of the nation to stand upon
—the empty benches were addressed by a few young men
—none of them having ever cast more than one vote, and
all of them after an office in the event of Edward Bates
being elected President! Men from Illinois and other
States participated, and helped to make up the crowd.
Messengers were time and again sent after the committee,
butt without effect. Time rolled on, the empty benches
became dusty, and the few who lingered to bear the reso
lutions became very uneasy—fearing a collision had oc
curred—that the committee were in trouble, as to whether
it would best meet the approbation of the Convention to
send delegates to Chicago or to Baltimore—some contended
that It would be best to send two setts—one to the former
and one to the latter—so anxious are they for Bates, nonal
natiOn—(that is the true friends of Bates)—that they may
get the offices after his election. But the anti-Bates men
thought the best way to kill him off, would be to send
them- to Chicago—knowing that he stands no earthly
-chance ttrei at the same time, if his name is presented
at Chicago, Bates' friends will have to vote for the
nominee. Such was the ruling, and such a resolution was
.penned.
The committee returned and reported the Platform of
-the Black Republican party of the nation. The resolutions
were all read, but upon the adoption of the resolutions ,
the fun commenced. The resolution endorsing Bates was
,objected to by Mr. Pinner, editor of a German newspaper
in Kansas city. Mr. Daenzer, editoi of the St. Louis Post,
Another German paper took the same ground. Great
cdofusion ensued. Mr. Pinner then offered the following
amendment, abd supported it in a lengthy and able
speech: He said it was nonsense for the Republicans to
think that Edward Bates or any other Black Republican
could carry Missouri. He ridiculed the idea, and was
hissed for the assertion. He said Missouri should not
dictate to the Chicago Convention—that such dictation
came from a bad quarter—Missouri had no claims upon
the Chicago Convention. He was opposed to any man that,
did not support Fremont in 1856—be wan ted an out and
out Black or no one. He nor his German friends could not
go for Bates, and he deprecated the reading of a resolution
. endorsing Bates as the first choice of Missouri, when St.
Louis is the only county where Black Republicanism
exists, and even here the party is composed of Germans =
it would not do to drive the Germans from the ticket by
nominating Edward Bates, a man who has never cast a
Republican vote. Ho wanted a man who stood right on
the geode in 18561 The following is the substitute thr the
resolution:
Resolved, That the delegates of the Republican party of
Missouri have no preferred candidate for President of the
'United "States, and that our delegates to Chicago shall
not cast their votes for any candidate who does not stand
fairly and square upon the Philadelphia platform of 1856.
The rubstitute, by a close vote—(after the friends of
Bates had gone out in the etreets and called in a dozen
men)—was voted down, and the original Bates resolution
was then adopted, amid cheers and hisses. The committee
an resolutions overlooked Mr. Frank Blair, but some gen_
tleman in the Convention, °Tared a resolution compliment
ary to the dletingaiihed Black Rep nblican. The question
then arose as to an electoral ticket—one gentleman wanted
inch a ticket whether Mr. Bates was nominated or not. The
editor of the German Poet of this city, was also 4n favor
of it. IN referred to the "opposition" convention last
week atJefferson City, and said they selected delegates to
the Baltimore Union Convention, and more thita likely
Ni. Bates would be "their first choice." Another gentleman
.thought it best not to select electors until after the Union
Convention at Baltimore. The edi tor of the Pliit hoped
the Republican party could do without this oPposltion
icarty—(we think, in a horn)—he hoped the Chicago , Co
caution would nominate a candidate, that will not suit the
- Old'ine Whig: and Know Nothings. (That they 11111,1 most
'tertainly,do, and that man will be William. H. Beiyard.
Theeditor - 6( the Missouri Democrat jumped to his if - eats
sititked the gentleman if he would 'rota for Binlßaies if
.
`nominated at Chicago, th e reply was that he would neither
vole far, or his paper support Mr—Bates, if nominated, and
mrsonsideration would induce him to do so. -
The names of the committee to select delegates to the
Chicago Convention was then announced, and Mr. Pinner
again took the floor and denounced the Chair Cornet putting
a German on it. Hedid not know what to think of this
studied exclusion of his countrymen, who, it was well
known, - form the bulk of the Repuglican party. Great con
fusion again prevailed. One of the gentlemen offered to
ensign. his place to Mr. Pinner, and several' said it was
accidental, but - Mr. P. said the same kind . of an accident
had happened Ave times during the sitting of the redven
tion. That was a fact well substantiated, and no one denied
the assertion. A resolution to add two Germane to the
committee, was adopted, and Mr. Pinner and Dr. Bernays,
of the Anseiger were the lucky individuals; a motion was
then made to add three Irishmen, but the idea was
ridiculed. After retiring for an hour, the commi.tee re
potted the names of the delegateti. A Central Committee
was next elected. "A 'gentleman, insisted that the mem
bers of the Central Committee the city should consist
of Germans. A resolution was then offered, instructing
the delegates to Chicago to vote,as a ling. Mr. Pinner
again objected. If he went he was going to Chicago un
fettered, and could not vote for Mr. Bates. The resolution
finally passed, and whereupon Mr; Pinner withdrew his
name from the list of delegates, and Mr. Mneach also
withdrew, amidst the greatest confusion. Before their
places were filled the Convention adjourned sine die. The
delegates probably stand 12 Pro-Bates and 6 Re-pro-Bates.
Here, then, at the very door of Edward Bates, be has
almost been swallowed up—annihilated, where there ought
not to have been a dissenting voice. The resolution pre
fering him on the first choice of the Blacks, came within
two or three votes of being defeated. This was certainly
the grandest fizzle we have ever-seen, and the men who par
ticipated are ashamed of it, and say they have mistaken
the strength of Mr. Bates, and all seem satisfied now, that
Bates would be the weakest man the party could possibly
nominate. This Convention has politically killed Mr.
Bates, if it has not the "great and formidable Black Ee
publican party of Missouri." This move will again divide
Germans and the Know Nothings in this State—the Know*
Nothings were only trying to catch the Germans on the
Bates hook, but they have at last found out that the bate
won't take. Judge Bates stands no better chance of chang
ing this State than Seward, Chase or Cameron. They will
now make an attempt to persuade Bates to accept the Vire
Presidency, but Bates will see them all on the " other side
of Jordan," before he 'would be .further humbugged in
that way—he is not one of that stripe—it is the whole hog
or none with him. This, we think, is the last you will
hear of the " Bates movement," it has fizzled out in the
very midst of his friends—the great State Convention is
over, our people again breathe freer, and the boy is named
SEINARD."
The dilssouri Democratic State Convention convenes at
Jefferson City on the 9th of April, to nominate a State
ticket and elect delegates to the Charleston Convention.
We have one hundred and five counties in the State,
seventy of which have already elected delegates, and the
balance will do so in the next ten days. There will be
upwards of 700 delegates in the Convention. Surmises
are numerous as to who will be the candidates for Gover
nor and Lieut. Gov. Our opinion is that the ticket will
be C. F. JACKSON and THOS. C. REYNOLDS, and that the
Charleston delegates will vote for Hon. Jas. S. GILEEN on
the first ballot.
BALLOON ASCENSION AT SAVANNAH,
0A...-PERILOUS SITUATION OF THE
2ERONAUTS.
The mronaut Cevor, with a companion
named Dalton, made a balloon ascension at
Savannah, Ga., on Friday week. The following
account of their adventures we find in the
Republican of Monday, showing that although
their aerial trip was short yet the end ap
proached rather too near the tragical :
After leaving the city a few miles behind
them, the balloon entered a current which
bore it to the eastward, and hence directly
out to sea. The greatest altitude attained
was between 2?r and 21 miles at which point
the view of both earth and water was entirely
shut out. Seeing nothing and borne along on
the rapid current of air, all was perfectly
still, and the mronauts unconscious of motion
though going at the rate of over three miles
to the minute. The roar of the ocean, though,
was distinctly heard from beneath, and just
then they entered another current that bore
them rather more northward. It was deter-
mined to descend and take the chances rather
than be carried far out to sea. The valve
was opened for the escape of the gas and the
grappling iron thrown out to the full length
of the cord, 200 feet.
The balloon descended rapidly and the
anchor finally attached itself to a tree on
Daufuskie Island. So great, however, was
the force of the current that the cable snapped
like a thread, and the balloon suddenly
mounted up to a great height and moved off
in a north-easterly, direction, towards Calla
boga Sound, which, though several miles in
width, had the appearance of a very narrow
stream. To descend in the Sound and risk
an encounter with the water, or be carried
out to sea with all its uncertainties, became
the only alternatives. Mr. Cevor decided
promptly on the former, but so rapid was the
flight of the balloon that he had to act promptly
in order to strike the Sound. The valve was
raised and the air ship came
.down, as Mr.
Cevor informs us, with almost the velocity of
a cannon ball, gaining momentum in its pas
sage. It struck the water with immense
force, completely submerging the voyagers.—
In going down, however, Mr. Cevor, had the
presence of mind to dip his car so as to enter
the water edgewise, and thus, in some measure,
break the force of the concussion.
On rising to the surface and finding them
selves unhurt, Mr. Cevor and his companion
becMne composed and set to work deliberately
to save themselves and the balloon. They
had lost their ballast, provisions, everything
in the descent, and the great point was to
prevent the balloon from rising out of the
water. A heavy gale was prevailing in the
Sound, and they were between five and six
miles from shore. By keeping one edge of
the car under water it would afford sufficient
resistance to answer the purpose of ballast.—
This was done by Mr. Cevor, while Mr. Dal
ton took his stand on the ring to which the
netting is attached, which kept the bottom of
the balloon on the surface. In this condition,
and often submerged to their chins, the
balloon was made to answer the purpose of
a tow in taking them to land. Eventually
they approached a marsh and discovered
persons on the beach looking with apparent
astonishment at the strange spectacle. Mr.
Cevor and his companion cried for help at
the top of their voices, and soon a boat
manned by negroes and their overseer, Mr.
George Savage, was despatched to their aid.
The boat came up just before they reached
the marsh, and now the great object was to
discharge the gas, and save the balloon.—
Mr. Cevor and Mr. Dalton both took hold of
the cord, and in the confusion pulled so bard
as to break it short off below the valve,
whereupon the latter closed and the balloon
rushed into the marsh and got wholly beyond
their control. Mr. Dalton became entangled
in the cords which became twisted around him,
and had to take out his pocket knife and cut
his way out in order to extricate himself.—
The balloon then commenced to ascend rapidly,
Mr. Cevor in the car, and he only saved him
self by leaping out when at a distance of
twenty-five or thirty feet from the earth. He
fell into the water and mud and was uninjured.
The balloon shot off like an arrow towards
the sea and in the space of a minute was out
of sight.
Thus ended the perilous adventure. The
balloon, worth some $7OO, is a total loss
to Mr. Cevor, though under all the circum
stances we consider the party as exceedingly
fortunate to have escaped with their lives.
The speed with which this journey was
made is wonderful. The point where the
balloon struck the water is forty miles from
Savannah, and they reached it at 5.20 ; they
ascended precisely at 5.07, so they were just
thirteen minutes in traversing the distance.
ACCOMMODATIONS IN CHARLESTON.—The
Washington Star of Friday, in an article
on the rumored " gouging"charges of the
Charleston landlords, says : We hear that a
party of Washington gentlemen have an agent
now at the North looking up a suitable steam
ship to carry to Charleston those who may
design attending from here. She is to be
capable of affording first-class state room
accommodations for two hundred persons at
least, and the charge for the passage there
and back and board while there, will be about
$75, which is in the neighborhood of the cost
of the railroad fare there and back. We
advise all who propose attending from this
immediate neighborhood, to await the adver—
tisement of this vessel, ere making definite
arrangements for the trip.
IMPROVEMENT IN HOOP SEIRTB.-DOUGLAS
& SHERWOOD, of New York, the pioners of the
Hoop Skirt business, have just brought out
a new style of Skirt, called the " Belle of the
South," which is said to be the most elegant
and perfect made. A peculiar feature of this
Skirt is that it is made without clasps, and is
not therefore liable to get out of order.
THE RICHEST COUNTY IN THE 'UNITED
STATES.-It is probable that Brazora county,
Texas, is the richest in the Union in propor
tion to the number of its population. Accord
ing to the last Comptroller's report, if the
property of thitt county should be equally
divided among its voters, there would be
something more than $13,000 to each man.
UNNATURAL CRUELTY-STARVING A MOTHER
TO DEATIL-A man named Willis Graves,
living in Cleveland, Ohio, has been detected
in the barbarous crime of attempting to starve
his mother to death. From The Cleveland
Herald of the 14th, we gather the following
particulars : The son has recently married a
second time, since which occurrence both he
and his wife have treated the mother in the
most inhuman manner. -About this time-she
was removed from her former chamber to a
small back one; in which she has . been ever
since, and here she would have shortly died in
destitution and want had not the community
been so roused up as to compel a change fur
the better.
The furniture of - this room has been a bed,
a table and one chair, and these of the cheapest
and commonest kind. The stove had been so
long neglected that it' was as rusty as an
anchor and everything was of the meanest
possible description. Some six weeks ago,
Mrs. Graves was so reduced as to be confined
to her bed, and there she was suffered to lie,
day after day, with no one to sit with her, no
one to.cheer her, no one to care for her.
She had lain on this - bed, too weak to move
or help herself, day and night, totally neglected
except once a 'day, at noon, when she was
tended for a few minutes by two German
women and a bit of dry toast given her to eat,
and with this bit of toast as her only meal in
twenty four hours she has wasted away until
she is now a bare skeleton.
It will seem incredible that a son and
daughter could so forget all the principles of
love, affection or common humanity as to thus ,
systematically drag an aged parent down to
the grave, and were not the evidence too
strong to be disputed, no one could credit the
story. The evidences of the cruelty were all
around her, for on her miserable bed was no
sign of a sheet, but she lay on the bare straw
bed until festering sores covered her back and
limbs, and she was totally neglected in her
bed, when too weak to move, for three days.
When her son was remonstrated with for hie
unnatural conduct, he• sneeringly asked,
" What is the use of taking bread from the
living and giving it to tine three quarters
dead ?" Mrs. Graves was promptly rescued
from her miserable situation.
THE EXECUTION AT CHARLESTOWN
CHARLESTOIVN, Va., March 16.—The town
was thronged with visitors to-day anxious to
witness the execution of Stevens and Hazlett.
The sentence of the law was put into effect
at noon.
Both the condemned appeared resigned to
their fate, and exhibited great firmness and
resignation.
Stevens died very hard, but Hazlett expired
without a struggle.
The condemed declined all the proffered
attentions from the ministry, and there were
no religious ceremonies on the gallows or
during their confinement. They were both
Spiritualists and had a peculiar religion of
their ; own, which enabled them to meet their
fate withcheerfulness and resignation.
Theit bodies have been forwarded to the
care of Marcus Spring, South Amboy, N. J.,
and will reach Baltimore in the early morning
train.
OLD GUARD
SW" Dr. I. I. Hayes, Surgeon of the Kane
Artic Expedition, hopes to be ready for a
start in the month of May next for another
voyage to the North Pole. Dr. Hayes has
already raised the $lO,OOO, one half of the
necessary sum from the generous contribu
tions of his personal friends, and hopes to
secure the rest from the liberal public at large.
To assist him in his endeavor, the Geographi
cal and Statistical Society have appointed a
Committee of leading merchants and other
well known citizens (among them Henry
Grinnell,) and there is reason to hope that
the appeal will not be in vain. The special
object of Dr. Hayes' proposed expedition is to
determine at once and forever the question of
an open Polar sea, which Lieut. Morton saw
and the existence of which would seem to be
established by a variety of circumstantial
evidence. This sea Dr. Hayes hopes to reach
by making the principal portion of the trip on
dog-sledges—vehicles by which he and his
associates rode over a thousand miles on the
previous expedition.
THE BLACK REPUBLICANS AND THE IRISH
CITIZENS.—The following specimen of bigotry
and intolerance is from Helper's infamous
book. which all the leading Republicans in
Congress endorsed, and which Wm. H. Sew
ard gave a special recommendation :
"With the intelligent Protestant element
of the Father land (Germany) on our side, we
can well afford to dispense with the ignorant
Catholic'element of the Emerald Isle. In the
influences which they exert on society, there
is so little difference between Slavery, Popery,
and Negro driving Democracy, that we are
not at all aurprised to see them going hand
in hand in \their diabolical work of inhuman.
ity and desolation,"—Helper's Impending
Crisis:, page 83.
BLACK. REPUBLICAN OPPOSITION TO PROTEC
TION.—The New York Evening Post, edited
by Bryant, is the leading Black Republican
organ of New York. That paper takes strong
and determined free trade ground. The Post
will not permit protection to be one of the
Republican planks. It declares that Aboli
tionism is the only plank. We quote the
following sentiment :
" The question of slavery is altogether too
great and momentous to be thus prostituted
to the selfish schemes of speculating capital
ists and venal politicians, and narrow minded
bigots. If those who now manage the affairs
of the Republican party contemplate any such
manoeuvre, we warn them in time that they
had better let it alone. They have not so
great a surplus of votes that they can afford
to drive off the friends of free trade from their
ranks. And if they do commit this blunder
we tell them that the year 1860 is the last in
which the present political party will figure
in a Presidential election."
MARYLAND NEGROES IN CANADA.—The Kent
News of Saturday says :
We understand from good authority. that
a gentleman, who, till recently, was a resident
of Chestertown, but now a citizen of the
District of Columbia, has received a letter
from a fugitive slave man, who ran away
from him some four years since, and escaped
to Canada: He represents his condition as
deplorable indeed—regrets leaving his master
—and is fearful that starvation may end his
life before the return of Spring. He says
that seven others, most of whom ran away
about the same time from this neighborhood—
like himself, are anxious to return to slavery
together with their offspring which have been
born since their departure. We know " Jack"
very well, and do not wonder at the conclu
sion he has arrived at, for a kinder and more
indulgent master than he had did not live in
Kent county. We suppose the necessary
steps will soon be taken to gratify Jack and
his comrades, since their voluntary return to
slavery would be instrumental in preventing
others from undertaking such perilous jour
neys, to which they are generally persuaded
by their pseudo abolition friends.
THE ARTESIAN WELL AT READING.-Mr.
Lauer has made a contract with the gentle
men who have been boring his artesian well
to carry it to a depth of 2,000 feet. It has
already reached 1,700 feet, being the third in
depth in the United States. One at Columbus
Ohio, is 2,840 feet, and one at St. Louis, 2,282
feet. This one is all its depth through solid
rock ; the bore is four inches, and the drill
is driven by a steam engine, and requires
but three men at a time, who alternate with
three others, so as to keep the work in con•
slant operation, and then sometimes not
making more than four inches a day. The
shaft of the augur is made of wooden rods,
screwed together, and hoisted, lowered, or
turned by the steam power. The present
expense is stated at about $l5 a day.—Read
ing Daily Times.
Air Mrs. Johannah Hermans died at the
residence of her daughter-in-law in Albany
last Sunday, at the advanced age of 103
years. She was married at about the age of
45, and has been a widow thirteen years.—
Her grandfather was 108 years old at the
time of his death, her father was 105, and
she had a brother 105 at the time of his death.
Eighteen months since Mr. Hermans walked
from Albany to Galway, Saratoga County,
over 30 miles, experiencing apparently very
little fatigue.
THE MARYLAND FISHERIES.—The Denton
Journal states that the fisheries in that
vicinity did a more prosperous business during
last week than for many years past at this
season, and better than at any period during

IMPORTANT IF TRUE—TEE PIIRCHARR OF
Cons.—The following important notice an- ,
poured in the New York Inquirer of Saturday:
" We learn from a satisfactory source in Paris,
that the French Government were advised
that Spain has agreed to sell Cuba to the
United States. Everything was arranged
except the price, about which there was some
little difference of opinion." As this appeaxed
in no other of the New York papers, the
announcement should be received with due
caution.
ANOTHER TERRIBLE SHIPWRECK-OTV/ One
Hundred Livies Lost.—By the steamer Nova
Scotian, from Liverpool on the 22d tilt., we
learn that the ship Luna, from Havre for New-
Orleans, bas been wrecked pn the French
coast, near Cherbourg, and proved a total
loss. She bad 88 passehgers, two of , whom
only were saved, and their names are not
given. The loss of passengers and crew is
said to be 105 lives.

the Mustang Liniment. It has justly been styled a' Pana

medicine of surprising virtue, that Physicians are coin=

This is to certify that I made a fair trial of the sample
of Super Phosphate of Lime, presented to me by George
A. Leinan. I used it in the cultivation of various kinds
of Garden Crops, and always with the very best results—
Its effects upon Cabbage, Beets and Potatoes is particular
ly striking—by the rich dark green of their tops, as well
as the size to which they grow. It is also an excellent
top dressing for grass—and I am Balloted when it comes
to be well known it will be regarded with great favor as a
Fertilizer, and will work its way into general nee.

Farmers read ori - : Hear what Ex-Governor Snyder's eon,
of Selin's Grove, Union county, Pennsylvania, says of
Leinau's Fertilizer upon his grass lands—the swath was
BO heavy as to make it a heavy job to mow it, and upon my

county. I' have used it for years and recommend it to
farmers generally.
Hear what Isaac Reaves, says: I have used Leirian's
Fertilizer for years in succession on my 2 farms below Red

called
. _
THE AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD,
to which we respectfully invite attention. It will be an
authentic and complete book of reference on all current
religions topics, and all religious events of the year. Will
contain
A Classified and Statistical Record of Religions and
Moral Associations in the United States and Europe;
The History, Confession of Faith, and Present Statistics
of each of the Religious Denominations of the United
States and Europe;
Statistics of Moral, Benevolent and Educational Insti
tutions in the United States;
A Classified List and the Post Office Address of Clergy

List of Leading Contributors and Testators to Religious

Eminent Christians who have Died during the Year;
Beliefs of all Nations;
List of Generous Contributors to Christian Enterprise
during the Year;
etc-, etc.. etc., etc., etc., etc, •
The above, is - given more to convey an idea of the gen
eral character of the work, than as an index to its volum
inous contents, which will embrace everything of interest
to intelligent religions minds.
We believe a general record like this, to which every one
might turn for authentic information on all topics of cur
rent religions interest, has long been wanted, and would
be found of great convenience, not only to clergymen and
other church officers, but to all interested in the moral and
religious movements of the age. It has been the atm of
the publishers to supply this want, and in THE AMERI—
CAN CHRISTIAN RECORD to present a work Jrhich
would enable all Christians familiarly to understand one
another's faith, efforts, and strength, in which each should
be able to read the past and present story of his particular
denomination, and compare it with that of others; and in
which all might perceive at a glance, first, the efforts of
individual institutions, and then the result of their united
operationiththighout the entire world.
In conclusion, we venture to say that so vast an amount
of varied information' on religious subjects has never be
fore been brought within the compass of a eingle volume.

We love the women very much,
And could not live without them,
But do not like the skirts they spread
Ad libitum about them.
A hatred of their crinoline,
Within our bosom rankles,
Bemuse we're fond of pretty feet,
Attached to pretty ankles;
And, as the women have such feet,
With which kind Heaven supplied them;
We cannot see a reason why,
With sweeping skirts, they hide them.
A woman, all the virtues taught,
➢fay think that she possesses ;
Yet naughtehe knows of cleanliness,
While she, with costly dresses,
The pavement sweeps, until her skirts,
By contact foul—slackl oh I
Are soiled with mud, and stained with juice
From loafers' vile tobacco!
As " brevity's the soul of wit,"
This fact our mind impresses,
That soulless is the wit displayed
In wearing lengthy dresses.
On lengthy 'ekirts, we do not wish
With women fair to wrangle,
But, as such things will filthy grow,
When In the mnd they dangle,
We call on ladies for a change,
And hope that some "Good Friday"
Will usher in a style of dress,
Which, tasty, will be tidy.
As men can all, at Tower Hall,
Dress neatly, 'Us a pity
That women's skirts are Fashion's brooms,
With which they sweep the City.

Scrofula, or Kingl3 VA;
is a constitutional disease, a corruption of -the
blood, by which this fluid becomni vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst oat
in disease on any part of it. No organ is-free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it , inay
not destroy. The scrofulous taint level:lonely
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis.
ordered or unhealthy food. hplgte.
and filthy habits, the demising anvir
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is' hereditnry in,•the colt
stittnicsi, descending "item permits to children
unto the third and fourth generation ;" indeed.
it seems to be the rod of Min who says, u I
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children."
Its effects commence by .deposition tram, the
blood of corrupt or alcerons matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings;> end . on
the surface , eruptions or sorts. This !Ind.*.
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies , of life, so that scrofulous constitu
tions not only suffer from scrofillous coin
• plaints, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other. diseases; conse
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in_ their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which der
cimates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination ; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from at
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an alterative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
„Such a medicine we supply in
AYER'S
Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla,
the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this evert
where prevailing and fatal malady. It ia cam ,
bined from the most active remedials that hafe
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only scrofula, but also those other affec
tions which arise from it, such as Exurrrvs
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHONY'S Fins,
ROSE, or ERYSIPELAS, PIMPLES, PUSTULES,
BLOTCHES, BLAINS and Boma, TUMORS, TETT=
and SALT RHEUM, SCAM HEAD,RINGWORM,
RHEITMATISM,-SYPHILITIC and MRCURIAL DIS
EASES, DROPSY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS Alcamo FROM
VITIA
TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in impurity of the blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.
Ayer's Cathartic Pills,
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A FAMILY PHYSIC,
are so composed that disease within the range of
their action can rarely withstand or evade them
Their penetrating properties search, and cleanse,
and invigorate every portion of the human organ
ism, correcting its diseased action, and restoring
its healthy vitalities. As a consequence of these
properties, the invalid who is bowed down with
pain or physical debility is astonished to find his
health or energy restored by a reniedy at once so
simple and inyiting.
Not only do they cure the every-day complaints
of every body, but also many formidable and
dangerous diseases. The agent below named is
pleased to furnish gratis my American Almanac,
containing certificates of their cures-and directions
for their use in the following complaints: Costive
ness, Heartburn, Headache arising from disordered
Stomach, Nausea, Indigestion, Pain in and Morbid
Inaction of the Bowels, Flatulency, Loss of Appe
tite, Jaundice, and other kindred complaints,
arising from a low state of the body or obstruction
of its functions.
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral,
FOR THE RAPID CURE OP
Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness,
Croup, Bronchitis, Incipient Consump
tion, and for the relief of Consumptive
Patients in advanced stages of the
disease.
So wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu
merous are the cases of its cures, that almost
every section of country abounds in persons pub
licly known, who have been restored from alarming
and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its
use. When once tried, its superiority over every
other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues are known, the
public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections of the
pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate.
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the
community have failed and been discarded, this
has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits
on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro
duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to
be forgotten.
