PITTSBURG**:
TUESDAY MORNING:
NOW IB THE TIME.
The Oounty Fair, which commences Unlay, will bring
a large number of Grangers into town, and merchants
and manufacturers should take advantage of this oppor-
tunity to advertise.' We shall have extra carriers fo
the Port on the Fair ground and at the hotels.
An editorial notice will be given of each large adver-
tisement. Particular attention will be given to the Fait
lo our paper. A Urge number of strangers, country
mecchams and others arc already in town, to attend tbi
Pair. The columas of the “old Jbrf’ are opea to out
advertising friends.
A fir© broke out on Woodbridgo street, Detroit,
on Friday afternoon, and before the flames were
stayed, property to the value of $16,000 was de
stroyed.
The steamship “ Oapry ” arrived in Philadel
phia, on Saturday afternoon, with the passengers
from the wreck of the “. City of Philadelphia,"
stranded off Newfoundland about a month ago.
It is now announced that the Rev. John Bapte,
the Catholic priest who was tarred and feathered
and otherwise maltreated at Ellisworth, Me., is
not dead, but has recovered from his inhuman
treatment.
On Friday last James Mullen and Michael
Smith wero killed by the caving in of a gravel
bank, in which they were digging, near Cincin
nati, on the Reading pike. Mullen leaves a wife
and feur children!.
Mr. Spooner, the publisher of the Boydell
Sbakspeare, received a verdiot in his favor in
the New York Courts, the other day, for $3,250,
against John M. Daniel, the late editor of the
Richmond £zan»tiier, for libel.
The opinion of the fall bench of the Massa
chusetts Supreme Court was delivered on Satur
day declaring that the aot of the Legislature an
nexing Charlestown to Boston, which act Las
been acoepted by the voters of both cities, is
unconstitutional and void.
We expected to publish this morning details
of European news by the “ Indiana," but she
appears not to have arrived at New York ou Sat
urday night, as reported, by telegraph. Instead
of giving the long rigmorole of contradictions,
explaining that Sebastopol bad not been taken,
we give an article from the London Timet cover
ing the whole groands.
The beautiful poem in another column is tbot
for whioh the $lOO prize offered by Mr. C. L.
Derby, owner of the Greek Slave, was awarded.
The awarding committee consisted of Bayard
Taylor, Richard Storrs Willis and Hiram Fuller
of the New York Mirror, und was selected as the
best among upwards of two hundred contribu
tions.
Henry Fortman, the German who murdered a
little boy about two weeks ago in CoviDgton, Ky.,
has had his trial, and been found guilty of man
slaughter. The judge sentenced him for ten
peart to the State prison. By some, the sentence
is regarded as top severe ; by others, as too
lenient. Generally, it has given great satisfac
tion.
DISASTERS OF THE YEAR.
In no yew probably for half a century have
so many severe and fatal disasters occurred as
daring the last twelve months. More ships and
steamers were wrecked and lost daring the year
past than daring the . whole of the three prece*
ding years: and nearly tbres limes as many as in
any former year.
A gentleman residing in New York, and en
gaged-in commeroe, gives to Rev. Henry W.
Beecher some appalling statistics in regard to
the shipwrecks of the last year. During that
- year, according to his statement, over four thou
sand American vessels, engaged in inland and
foreign trade, were lost: and the whole number
reported as lost from all of the world ex
ceeds ten thousand vessels of all classes, la
that time oyer fifty vessels have departed from
their ports, and “never been heard of more."
Among this number were the City of Glasgow,
worth, with its cargo, a million dollars : and tse
packet ships Constitution and Waterloo, valued
at $200,000. Among the most valuable vessels
wrecked and totally lost were the steamer fhim
bolt, in Halifax harbor, valoed at $1,200,000;
steamer FraukliD, near Long Island, $1,500,000;
steamer Arctic, with cargo, $2,000,000, and the
steamer San Francisco, worth about three-quar
ters of a million dollars.
Daring the last year the Marine Insurance
Companies of New York city alone have paid for
losses of vessels and- cargoes over twelve million
dollara. Some of these disasters at sea have
been of the most appalling character, and at
tended by the most fearful loss of life. Over a
hundred and fifty perished from the wreok of the
Ban Francisco. The ship Staffordshire went
down in sight of land with over three hundred
passengers on board. Nearly three hundred
lives were lost by the sinking of the Arc:ic.
Three hundred went down In a Bremen ship. A
regiment of soldiers went down in' a British steam
er. But it would be difficult to estimate the
number of lives lost .by the wrecking, sinking
or burning of the 10,000 vessels lost daring the
year.
Bat even greater disasters, so far as pro
perty is concerned, havo occurred on land in the
same twelve months. By fire and storm it is
estimated that over eighteen million do'lars
worth of property has been destroyed in this
country. The storm at the south lately is be
lieved to hove injured the rice crop to the extent
of more than a million dollars. The floods in
the Connecticut and other rivers probably did a
still greater amount of damage. Large fires have
occurred in ma*by cities and townß ; and during
the drought vast quantities of timber were de
stroyed by fires in the forests. The drought it
self probably reduced the value of the crops in
this oountry $100,000,000. It has been estima
ted by many at-a far higher amount.
Within the same year, Railroad disasters have
been frequent, and many lives and much proper
ty destroyed: and many steamboats have been
burned or wreoked upon our lakes and rivers.
The ravages of disease have added another page
to the mournful record of the year. The chole
ra has swept off its thousands.
The Russio-Turkish war in Europe and Asia
r has already cost probably not less than 80,000
lives; far more dying by diseases induced by
r the exposures and hardships of the campaign
than In battle ; and la some of tbe battles thou
sands have been slain.
The Chinese oiTil war, though It tr ay ultimate
ly resalt in favor of freedom and Christianity,
hu been disastrous to the industry and com
merce of that empire for Lhe last year; and
thoomndg and tens of thousands of lives have
been sacrificed.
The year 1864, thus far, certainly presents a
gloomy reoord ; and will long be remembered as
a year of great and almost countless disasters.
Nor have its annals been relieved by the an
nouncement of any great discoveries in science;
improvements in the arts ; or changes in govern
ments favorable to the masses of mankind. In
Spain a partial revolution was cheoked and
crushed before any Bignal advantages had been
gained to the cause jof. freedom and humanity.
In China the revolution is still in progress and
Of doubtful issue. It may be years before its
guscess if assured, and its fruits enjoyed.
The battles of the Danube, of the Crimea,
■ad of the Baltio, | though they may have
shocked the ambition of the aggressor and
the despot, yet their result in favor of the j
pliiee give no promise of the restoration of

peaoe; of the overthrow of despotism; or
of the spread of civilization and Christianity.
As illiberal a despot rules at Constantino
ple as at St. Petersburgh; and the trinmph of
either over the other does little to eneoHrage the
hopes, or improve the condition of the millions
they bold in wretched subjection to their semi
barbarous sway. As the weaker party, strug
gling for existence, we may sympathise with
the Turk. But as a Christian people, we can*
not mnch regret the waning fortunes of the Cres
cent, and the Mahommednn faith ; or seriously
deplore the threatened overthrow of a govern
ment that, bat a few months ago, put to death a
citizen because he abjured Mahommed&nism,
and made open profession of the Christian faith.
It is a war of dynasties; a struggle between
despots ; the one for conquest, the other for ex
istence ; and, however brilliant the acbievments
of their arms, and whichever may triumph, the
masses of mankind are little benefited by the
slaughter. Those battles may be added to the
disasters of the year by shipvrrcok and other
wise ; and the dead on their trenches and battle
plains may be added to the list of “ the dead
that are in the sea V Humanity, Liberty, Chris
tianity, are perhaps as little benefitted by the
death of the soldiers on those plains, as by the
death of the hapless men, and women and chil
dren who have gone down beneath the dark
waves of the ooean.
We hope the season of disasters for this coun
try is past. There will be less American ship
ping on the seas this year than last. The disas
ters of the past will counsel more caution and
preparation for safety, in case of acoidcntß, for
the future. There is food enough for all, not
withstanding the droaght, and prices of food are
already reduced. Let other nations waste their
strength in fruitless wars as they will, this coun
try is at peace with all the world, and may re
main so, and yet pursue Its interests and its des
tiny without fear. The mines of California still
yield an undiminished supply of the golden trib
ute. Wlthia the post year, over five thousand
miles have been added to the extent and availi
btlity of our railroads. New regions
de l to the domain of civilization at the West;—
regions that in a few years will come into the
Union as free States, and wide markets for our
manufactures aod merchandize. The material
wealth of the country, though affected by the
short crops and disasters of the year, is ye*
greater now than ever before ; and the prospects
for all branches of industry and business are by
qo means discouraging. The resourocs of the
country arc almost boundless, and will soon re
pair the losses of a year. It should be borne in
miud, too, that while the disasters at sea, and on
i he lakes, and rivers, and railroads, have been
fir greater during tbe last year than in any pre
vious year, our chipping, our steamers, and the
extent of our railroads, have beeu doubled with
n a few years, and the population of tbe oountry
g-eally increased. Tbe prospects of the future
of this country, though occasionally darkened
by disaster, are full of encouragement aod prom
ise ; and while we chronicle with regret the evils
which result from a desire for fast traveling by
*oa and land ; a restless activity ; a boundless
individual aod national ambition for acquisition;
and An overpowering eagerness to bo suddenly
rich, we would not lose sight of the abounding
elements of prosperity that tbe country affords,
and that are uot yet half developed.
We have presented the dark side of tbe pic
ture for the past year, and it is mournful. A
glanoe at the bright side for the may re
vive hope, and restore confidence.'!
•The next year, we trust, will be better than the
: aßt.
The most famous cock-and-bull story
dnee the days of Tristram SkaDdy, is that put
orth by the Gallic cock and English bull, in re
cord to the tnking of Sebastopol. It is the most
lecided “sell" cf modern times. Locke's moon
oax wasn’t more thoroughly believed, and the
'ribune’s battle of Slivenamcn Hill would not
jmpare with it, for few can be golled with the
‘ exclusive" news of that journal. It is a sat
faction to know that tbe “ sovereigns" of this
jontry were not more thoroughly humbugged
•an tbe sovereigns of Europe. Louis Napoleon,
• teen Victoria, Prince Albert and all the other
'rinces, Lords and Dakes believed it; tbe eight
jndred members of the Liverpool Corn Ex
nan ge swallowed it entire, and joined in singing
God save the Queen," as did all the chief
ties in Britain which illuminated in honor of
iat brilliant evert ! Tbe most serious part of
ne matter, however, is the immense amount of
• litorial wisdom thrown away in speculating
. poa the “ Probable Consequences of tbe Battle
,( Sebastopol." Nicholas must enjoy the joke
iugely ; he could not help being amused at the
idiculous exultation of Victoria and Napoleon
>ver a “ victory" that has never taken place and
>crbaps never will.
Ullman not a Hindou. —lt was asserted posi
tively, by the Cleveland Herald and other prints,
that Daniel Ullman, the Know Nothing candidate
for Governor of New York, was of Jewish paren
tage and born in Ilindostao. This is proved to
be untrue. He first saw light in Wilmington,
Delaware, as is shown by tbo baptismal record
of Trinity Church, in that town, vol. C, p. 766;
the correctness of which is attested by the rector
of the ohnrch, who is endorsed by tbo bishop of
tbo diocese. This evidence is sustained by the
statement of Judge M’Dowell, of Wilmington,
whose word is certified to by a notary public,
under bis notarial seal.
tBP* When the despatch announcing the fall
of Sebastopol came to the ears of the Emperor of
Austria and the King of Naples, the former sent
a courier to Napoleon congratulating him upon
the success of hie arms, and the latter forbade
the negotiation of the Russian loan upon the
Bourse of Naples. Both these gentlemen were
remarkably nentral until things were taking a
decided iu;u, 33 they thought. They, however
get no credit for honesty, as the London Times
likens King Bomba (of Naples j to a polical blow
fly preying upon the carcass of a dead soldier.
Should Nicholas be eventually successful, he will
remember these little acts of Francis Joseph and
the Bourbon of Naples.
Akdbxw G. Cubtin. —The Erie Constitution
nominates the above named gentleman for tbe
United States Senate. The Philadelphia News
endorses it. We presume Mr. Curtin is all
right with the parties that can settle the ques
tion. That is, he is doubtless “ one of ’em.”
Let the other aspirants look sharp. Mr. Curtin
may cut these all out.
Major Arthur T. Lee, of the Bth infan
try, was killed in Texas, recently, by the Indians.
He was about 40 years of ago at tbe time of his
death, was a native of Northumberland county
in this State, and besides being a brave soldier
he had considerable reputation as a literary man
and landscape painter. He had been in the ser
vice of the United States about eighteen years.
Winks and Liquobb.— We would oall attention
to the advertisement of R. L. Alien, in another
oolnmn. He has a large and excellent stook of
<' wines and liquors,” and we understand he
sells them low. Of cigars, too, he has an excel
lent assortment, at No. 8 Wood street.
A fire broke out in Clark's patent flour
log mills, 162 Walker street, New York, on
Friday last, and before tbe flames could be ar
rested property valued at $40,000 was destroyed.
It was evidently tbe work of an incendiary.
tGf The colored people of Cincinnati have
formed a brass band, numbering twenty-two
performers. Several of them were formerly
members of Frank Johnston's famous Philadel
phia band.

Thiodort Parker’s Lecture.
As will be seen by reference to advertisement,
this gentleman lectures to-morrow evening, be
fore tbo L. Association. Whatever any one
may think of Mr. Parker’s radicalism on the
slavery question, none deny him a high mede of
praise both as an original thinker and finished
essayist. His sabject on this occasion—"the
true and false idea of a gentleman,”—is one
that bo handles with great skill and ability. Our
readers, we are sure, will find it an intellectual
treat.
Prohibition.— The Lancaster Express, of the
21st inst., contends that the prohibitory law is
carried in fact, because the districts that have
elected a majorityof the members of the Legis
lature, voted-for prohibition. It considers each
member instructed by the vote of his district, in
dependent of the general result in tho State.
Thus Allegheny county gave 60)0 in favor of
prohibition ; our five members, therefore, ac
cording to the Express are bound to vote for the
law next winter; and the fifteen members from
Philadelphia are in the same position.
We don’t think the pooplo so understood the
matter when the question was submitted to the
voters of the State, not by district, but by a gen
eral vote.

IT Bamuei Dunham, a soldier in the Rovo
tionary War, died at Mansfield, Ct., on tbe 12th
inst., at the.age of one hundred years and twen
ty days. He was the oldest Revolutionary Pen
sioner in the State, and possibly in the United
States. His funeral took plaoe on the day suo
oeeding that of his death, and was largely at
tended. Ad appropriate discourse was deliv
ered on the oooision, from these words: "And
all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred
sixty and nine years ; and he died.” Mr. Dun
ham leaves two brothers, one of whom is nine
ty five and the other ninety-seven years of age.
Both of whom were soldiers of the revolution,
and one of them, to the irreparable disgrace
of tho country, is now tbe inmate of tbe alms
house. #
Old Richland Tbuk Gbit. —While old Knox,

Eighteen thousand persons in the city of
.New York live underground—that is to say, in
oellars, vaults, and holes. So says Rev. Mr.
Cuyler, and his information is derived from ao
tual investigation. He tells of one neglected
quarter— single lodging room or den—in whioh
one hundred outcasts of sexes herd together, in
discriminately, every night. That may be call
ed life in New .York underground.
A mammoth hog, said to weigh overEOOO lbs.,

THE LONDON TIMES ON THE WAR
HOAX.
An official communication received yesterday
by the Government, from Constantinople, entire*
ly supersedes the less authentic statements which
had been hailed with so much enthusiasm and so
genera! a belief during the last five days. At
another time it might be curious to inquire by
what means a report, which is now showo to
have been not only exaggerated but unfounded,
acquired snch weight and consistency as to ob
tun the belief of the large majority of civilised
Earope, including not only journalists and their
readers, but meu experienced in the movements
of armies and statesmen at the head of wary and
incredulous Governments. Probably the intense
anxiety of tbo world to witness, and if possible
lo accelerate, the discomfiture of the power of
Russia, caused this intelligence to be more gen
eraliy received than it deserved to be; but it was
undoubtedly supported by corroborations so fre
quent, and apparently so consistent, that it
found almost universal acceptance. Our busi
□ess is, however, to dismiss from our minds the
erroneoos impressions that have lately received,
and to form a more correct estimate of our po
sition from the official accounts which arrived
yesterday, and have now been published. These
accounts are, in our judgment, by no means un
satisfactory, though the telegraphic message
which contains them is obscure and defective;
for, although Sebastopol has not been taken by
a coup de main with circumstances of melodra
matic brilliancy, the facts which are positively
known to have occurred down to the events of
the 28tu of September, are all favorable to the
allied armies, and show the steady progress of
their operations.
The Banshee was despatched from the Crimea
to Constantinople on the evening of the 28th,
but the message forwarded by Lord Stratford de
Rcdcliffe, on the 30th, strangely omits all men
tion of the events which must have occurred be
tween the 20th and 28th. The result of these
operations is, therefore, alone clearly known to
us—namely, thaP-on the morning of the latter
day the allied armies established their base of
operations at Baiaklava, and were preparing to
march without delay against Sebastopol. Ves
sels of war, under the command of Admiral Ly
ons, were in that port, and the landing of the
siege train of the armies was going on.
This fact at once enables us to arrive at several
inferences, which materially alter tbo view hith
erto taken of the operations. Baiaklava is a
harbor on the south ooast of the Crimea, situa
ted seven miles in a direct lino from Sebastopol,
and eleven miles to the east of Cape Chersonese,
It is still, as it was described by Strabo, a por
tua anguato introitu, the mouth being only thirty
yards in width, but it will contain twelve sail of
the line. The site is one of the most beautiful
in the East, and it derives its came from the
SCIICTLXIU-
Benj Christ. D.
Cha*. Frailey. D.
14 BelU Chiavd* of the Genoese, who founded the
Hide town at the bottom of the haven, and built
the, fort on the adjoining cliff. The port is
formed by a deep inlet or indenture in the rooks,
wtih water sufficient to flj?at the largest ships in
perfect security ; it is completely protected from
every -wind, and may be regarded 'as a dock for
all the purposes of disembarkation. The occu
pation of this point is, therefore, an occurrence
of the utmost advantage, for it enables qs to
place part of the fleet and transports in complete
shelter, to lacd stons and supplies, to maintain
an easy communication with Constantinople and
Varna, and all this within seven miles of the
place we are about to attack.
The importance of the possession of such a
port as Baiaklava had not escaped the attention
of those officers who had first reconnoitred the,
coast of the Crimea; but the heights whioh sur
round aod protect it were then strongly occupied
by the Russian forces, and it was foreseen that
Any attempt to land there in presence of the ene
my might be defeated by the superiority of his
position. But those heights and their defences,
whatever they may be, must be in the possession
of the allied armies, since they reached Balakla
va from the north, aud we therefore hold a se
cure port, which is at onoe accessible by sea and
denfensible by Isnd.
The fact that the allied armies had reached
Baleklava from the land side on or before the
morning of the 28th of September, proves to de
monstration that in the internal between tbe bat
tle of the Alma and their arrival on the southern
coast they had forcod all the external lines of
defence round Sebastopol,* and had driven back
the Russians successively from the Alma, the
Katcba, tbe Belbek, and the Tchernaia, which
feeds the harbor of Sebastopol, and, farther,
that they had crossed and occupied the heights
separating these valliee from tho southern coast.
The form of the eastern coast of the Crimea is
not unlike that of the county of Pembroke, and
oar readers may form a tolerably correct idea of
the operations we are describing by supposing
that the allied forces landed in St. Bride’s Bay,
jast below St. David’s and then marched to the
ooast near Tenby. These vallies or ravines in
the Crimea are well wooded, abounding in fruit
and water, peopled with flourishing Tillages, and
easily capable of defence. The post road from
Sebastopol to Bakshiseral passes along the val
ley of the Belbek, and must have formed tbe
principal line of communication between the for
tress and the interior. Since, however, we know
that the allied armies have reaobed Balaklava,
it is certain that all these lines have been passed,
and that theso communications are intercepted.
There is reason to believe, from a despatch re
ceivod from Odessa, and dated tbe 29th Septem
ber, that several successive aotione have taken
place, especially on the 25th and 27th, and these
dates probably correspond to the days on which
the allies foroed the lines of the Belbek and tbe
heights about Balaklava. The movement of the
armies has thus precisely realised the plan we
bid iudioated some days before, when we said
that they might advance across the whole pro
montory to the southern ooast, and so entirely
invest the fortress. Prince Mensohikoff has
moanwhile been driven to the east of this line of
operations, and is worthy of observation that
his army, which consisted of 60,000 men on the
Alma, is now said to be redaoed to 20,000. In
deed, so severely is the want of men felt by the
Russian generals, that they are said to have
burned and abandoned Anapa, which is the key
of the Circassian ooast, in order to march the
garrison of that plaoe into the Crimea ; but this
part of Lord Stratford’s despatch appears to be
at least questionable.
Thu* far, then, we arrived at a dear, and, we
believe, correct conception of these operations
down to the 28th, which must have been trium
phantly successful to enable tho allied armies .in
one week to defeat the enemy in a series of ac
tions, and to drive him from several oonoentrio
positions of great natural strength, outtlng off
Prince Mensohikoff and his army altogether
from the fortress. It now remains to oonsider
the nature of the movements whioh would neces
sarily follow, inasmuoh as we are told that “the
armies were preparing to maroh without delay
upon Sebastopol.” It was already known to us
that considerable difference of opinion existed as
to tho proper mode of attacking this fortress,
and that at least one engineer officer was clearly
in favor of an attack from tue south side. The
ohief argument in favor of the north side was,
that as the landing was to be effected there, it
seemed more easy to open tbe attack on that
quarter; but this difficulty has been surmounted
by landing the troops to the north of the place,
and the siege artillery to the south Borne days
later. Neither does the mode of proceedings
now adopted exolude the possibility of an attaok
oh ioMJaides of the harbor. For the present it is
sufficient to know that there is an obstaole be
tween the fortress and the armies about to aissail
it; for, as the armies have crossed the ridge be
tween Sebastopol and Balaklava, and driven tbs
chief body of tbe enemy into the interior, it
may be assumed that the high ground in the rear
of the place itself will not be occupied by any
, large body of Busman troops. Sebastopol is in

ODE TO THE GREEK SLAVE.
st Atjuusmr poqishb.
0 Greek Iby more than Moslem fetters thrall’d!
0 marble prison of a radiant thought,
Where life is half recall'd,
And bennty dwells, created, not enwronght—
Why haustest tbou my dreams, enrobed In light,
And atmosphered with parity, wherein
Mine own soul is transfigured, and glows bright,
Aj thoagh an angel smiled away Its ain.
0 chastity of Art I s -
Beheld! this maiden shap« makes solitude
Of all the buy mart:
Beneath her soars immeasurable woe,
AB sSpsuoae vision lies subdued,
And from ln»r veiled eyes the flow
Of tears, is Inward turned upon her heart.
While oc ber prisoning lips
Her ei<>iuent spirit swoons.
And from the lustrous brows’ eclipse
Falls patient glory, as from clouded moons!
Severe in v»-*tal grace, yet warm
And flexible with tho delicate glow of youth,
She stands, the sweet embodiment of truth;
U«r pure thoughts clustering around ber form,
Like rer.i.-'h raiments, whiter than the snows
Which the wild sea upthrows.
0 Genius! thou can'st chain
Not marble <>uly, but the human soul,
And melt the heart with to ft control,
At*d awake such reverence In the brain,
That man may be forgiven,
If in the aDdent days he dwelt
idolatrous with sculptured life, and knelt
To beauty more than Uoaven 1 r
Qenias is worshipped! for its works adore
Ttw* infinite source of all their glorious thought,
So blessed Art, like Nature, Is o’erfraught
With such a wondrous store '
Of hallowed influence, that wo who gaze
Aright on ber creations, haply pray and praise!
Go. then, fair Slave! and In thy fetters teach
Wh&t [leaven inspired and genius hath designed—
Be thou Kvaugel of true Art, and preach
The freedom of the Mind!
[From the Times of October 6.]
reality an open town in . the rear, exoept m §0
far as t hi* deficiency in its defence has been sup
plied by fieldworks or detached forts, bat it has
certainly uo bastions cr walls of circninvallation,
snch as constitute a regularly fortified place,
which can oppose a certain resistance to an ar
my for a given number of days. The whole
strength of Bebastopol lies in its forts; and
these forts have undoubtedly been calculated for
defence by sea rather than by land. Under
these circumstances, the proverbial military ex
pression, that “ a place invested is a place ta
ken, n may probably be applied with great jus
tice. Sebastopol must now be effectually invest
ed by land and sea, and mneh more effectually
than if the attack had been began on the north
ern side of the harbor, leaving the south ooast
open for reinforcements or for retreat. The plan
of the campaign, as we now more closely under
stand ii, indicates the hand of a master; and,
though the pnblic have been disappointed in that
sadden and nnlooked for triumph which they had
been led to battle for, they will find that the end
will be accomplished with equal certainty by the
more patient operations of reeular warfare.

A child of mice showing symptoms of worms, I giTe it s
bottle of Dr. M’Ltne’s Celebrated Vermifuge, which brought
away a buocb of worm**, numbering, I should judge, about
thirty. The child was Tory sick during the operation, but
is now well and hearty.
Mrs. Twist, No. IS Avenue D, writes under date of Au»

for mure than a year, and that sh«< took one bottle of Dr.
M’L&ne’s Celebrated Vermifuge, which brought away from
her over three hundred worms, big and little. She now
believes herself to be entirely free from disease.
Mrs. BCGQISS, a German woman, residing at 204 Rivlngton
