"The recent legislation oe Pennsylvania, referred

Federal Ruin.—The country is experiencing a
turn of a disease known as federal ruin. Its first
attack was when Jefferson came in in 1800; it had
another when war was declared in 1812; wiltird
when Jackson was elected in 1829; a fourth in
1834, after the bank lost its deposits; and now a
fifth. It is rather a ruin of political prospects than
a national deterioration—of the federal party, rath
er than of our whole country. The latler.seems - ro
have gone on in its quiet, but, to the despots of the
old world, its terrible march of prosperity. When
r Jefferson got 'Louisiana, the federals planned dis
union: now that the democrats of today have got
I I Texas, there is the same plan on foot - by the same
old pOliticians, and both plans were alike prefaced
by the ruin cry. Business men, if they choose,
may of course quarrel with their profits, and, be.

not know whatsort of an Alderman M:. Purdy
may have made, but if this history , of him be cor
rect, asfr grocer, and what is more as a man, he is
hard tel/beat.
"When in the grocery business, he always gave
poor men down weight; their molasses jugs and
oil cans went home so full that they had to carry
the corks in their hands; children coming for char.
coal had a handful thrown in after a heaped mea-
sure, and often has Elijah.Purdy carried.come their
baskets for them. He sold six cent loaves of bread
for the cents. To his poor tenants, when their
rents were due, he would say, -ldon't come till
you're done work when you'vOnothing else to do
then come and pay me.' He was'the grocer that
gave thirteen eggs to the dozen. He was always
at his counter, rain or shine, to accommodate the
poor. Was a neighbor sick, he was the first at his
bedside; was there a death, he was the first to in.
quire what he could do for the family, and to make
arrangements for the funeral."
A Wousx's Lorx.—We clip the following
from the St. Louis Republican: „.
.41Ve have already announced the apprehension
of Harber who stands charged with the usurde?
of
Meredith, of Baltimore. He is in confinement at
Von Buren, Arkansas, waiting for an official re
quisition from the Governor of Missouri. The
Lexington (Mo.) Eaprcss hiving occasion to al.
Ilode to the matter, let us . into the secret of the
mant.er of his escape. His trial was a month off.
/He was securely guarded, but the dictates of hu
manity prompied•his guard to allow his wife to
visit hiku. Woman's ingenuity suggested to her
the means of affecting his escape. Hanging some
of his clothes against the wall, knowing they
would nut he touched, she contrived to Work out!
the mortar and bricks therefrom, carrying them out
daily, concealed about her person. None ever
thou • ; 4d-rxr-,-,miTritig her, and she worked away I t
a /dr task of luve'unmoicideel The result was
ie escape of her husband.

ITIHIS remarkable invention,:whi c h has received.
_lL'the universal approbation of the medical profee;-
sion of Great Britain,-Comprises an entirely new ap,
plication of Galvanism, as a remedial agent; hiYinearice
of 'which the ordinary Galvanic - Batteries,
and Magneticlleachines, &c., are entirely dispensed
with, and the mysterious power of Galvaniam applied
without any - of the objections which areinseparablo
from. the generarmOde nevi in use. The strong doz
es, and -irregular intervals, in which Galvanism in v.
plied by the Alachines, has been pronounced, after a
fair and impartial - trial, to be decidedly injursonS;and
it was to remedy this radical defect that this new app..
plieation was projected, which, after unceasing toffs
and perseverance,- has been brought to its present'
state efperfection. The Galvanic Rings answer, vill -
the purposes of the most expensive Machines, and ,
in many other respects are more safe and certain in : -
accomplishing-the desired effect. • '
The Galvanic Rings used" in connection with the
Magnetic Plaid, are confidently recommended in all
disorders which arizefrorn art enfeebled and taffindthy, .

greatly needed, which it is confidently believed, has

of Galvanism.' . ~ _ . - - • '',

In some cases of a very severe character, and of
long standing, the-power as applied by the Galvanic
Rings is not sufficient Le arrest the Progress ofdiseaso •
and ultimately restore health. The improved Medi. ,
fication in the Galvanic Bela', Bracelets, &c., entire. -
ly refnedies this objection; any degree of power that
is required can readily be obtained, and no complaint
, which the mysterious agent of Galvanism can effect:
! will fail to be permanently relieved. These articles:'
! are adapted to the waists, arms, wrists,linabs;aricles,
or any part of the body, with perfect conieniente.-
The Galvanic Necklaces are used with greater bane-
fit in casea of Bronchitis or affections of the throat i •
generally; also in cases of Nervous Deafness; "and t
with almost uniform success as a preventive for Apo
plexy, Epileptic Fits, and similar complaints..
Christle , s slagnetio Fluid
is used in connection with the Galvanic Rings and
all their-modifications. This composition has been
pronounced by the French ChemiSts to no one oldie
I most extraordinary discoveries of modein science. It '
is believed to possess the remarkable power of ren
dering the nerves sensitive to galvanic action' by this
means causing a•concennation of the influence, at the
seat of disease, thus giving rapid and permapent re
lief. No other composition in chemistry is known to
produce the same' effect, or to impart a similar pro
perty to the nervous system, by means of an outward
1 -oval application. The Magnetic Fluidcontaina noth-.
og capable ofthe slightest injury; its application ie
! agreeable, and it is as harmless in its action as it is
1 beneficial inits results. Full explanations and direc
tions accompany it. The COmbined inventions arein
I every way perfectly harmless; they nre sold at prices
