Our readers will have observed from tho tenor
cd our Harrisburg correspondent’s letter of yea
terday. as well os tho one to day, that the Fair
of the Agricultural Society this year is only a
partial success—not by any means up to what
might be expected from the prosperous condition
of every branch of industry throughout the
State. This oity, so justly famous for her man
ufactures—and she certainly has no equal in tho
Union, for her population,—makes a very beg
garly Bhow indeed ; so muoh so, that our cor
respondent, after a careful scrutiny, could dis
cover on exhibition no evidonoe of Pittsburgh
skill or ingenuity, excepting a solitary oarriage 1
We think we can account for this want of milk
iu the cocoa nut The exißtenoo of Western
Pennsylvania has been ignored by our State
Agricultural Society, and the West has retaliated
iu kind. For weoks before tho opening of the
exhibition, Philadelphia and other Eastern news
papers contained long advertisements, setting
forth, with all the advantages of display type,
when the Fair would bo held, and what were
the premiums offerod. Of oourse, the proprie
tors or those journals took an interest in the
enterprise, and did all in their power to con
tribute to its suooess.
What was Western Pennsylvania’s treatment?
We have yot to see the first notice of the Annual
Fair advertised in a paper this side of the Alle
ghenies. The consequence was, persons in this
quarter were not informed of the day of exhibi
tion, nor of tho prizes offered ; and editors, act
ing as men generally do, did not see fit to furnieh
gratis what it was the duty of tho Sooioty to pay
for publishing here, if it wns proper to do so in
the East.
We hope tho Managers of the State Fair will
profit by the experienoe of ihe present year, and
when they hold another exhibition, let all be
treated alike.
The arrival of the Ametioa, yeeterday, at Hal
ifax, brought the intelligence of the downfall of
Sebastopol. The reception of the newe created
quite an oxcilement iu our city, ae it will doubt
lees throughout the couutry The allies have
triumphed, bl.l the crescent wavoe over the
lilack Sea, aTler almost two years’ fighting—the
moel ternhlo recorded iu modern timeß. As
turning the news to be 6trictly true, the allies
have gained nothing hut losses sinoo the com
mencement of this unfortunate war, having lost
upwards of one hundred and fifty thousand men
and spent ten hundred million of dollars, and
now outer Sebastopol a pile of ruins. On the
22 d of May, 1863, the Russian ambassador left
Constantinople On the 4th of Juno the English
and French beets received orders to approach
tho Dardanelles, and they anohored in Beeika
Bay. On the ’doth of June the Emperor of Ros
eia ordered his army to occupy the Principali
ties. On the 14th September two Fronoh and
two Fuglieh wareteamerß from the fleet at Beei
ka Bay went to Constantinople. On tho 27th
the Porte declared war against Russia, and in
vited the English and Frenoh fleet to Conetanti
noplo. On the 2d of November the Emperor of
Russia declared war against Turkey. The
Frenoh declaration of war was mode in Maroh,
1864, and before September the alließ had land
ed in the Crimea.
Of the terrible slaughter at Alma, Inkermann,
Baiaklava and the futile attempts to storm the
Redan and Malakoff towers, as well as this last
soene of all in the bloody drama, we have not
time dow further to speak.
We will have further details to-day, when we
shall be bolter prepared to speak of the great
fact of the times.
Ir Sebastopol be taken, so should Keyser’s
Pectoral. The weather favors it, and the peo
ple demand it

H&BBUBcaa, September 26, 1856.
Editors Mobbihq Post :—TblB day’s show
at the Fair grounds hat been far better than
yesterday. The etook of oattlo on exhibition is
eery small, and there are but few good horses
entered. Manufactured articles generally are
not numerous. The principal and bOBt fentaro
of the exhibition is the agricultural implementa,
which are numerous, and erinoing deoided
marks of inventive genius and praotioal utility.
The great event of this day here haß been the
arrival or the President, and of several distin
guiahed persons from different parts of thlt
State, and Xrom other States. The President
arrivod at ten minutes past twelve, noon, and
was esoortoa from the depot to Bnehler’s hotel
by the committee, a large oonoourse of oltiiens >
and bands of mnsio, amidst discharges of oan
non, and load cheers. The dinner oama off at
half past one. Then introductions, then the
President was conducted to the Fair grounds.
A long line of carriages made quite a display
for Harrisburg. Generals, Judges, Bnd distin
guished strangers filled them, and when they
arrived on the ground the orowd was very larg e
—probably over fifteen thousand men, women
and children. Tho President of the State Ag
ricultural Society weloomed Gen. Pioroe In a
neat and appropriate speeoh, to which ho re
plied, speaking nearly three quarters of an hoar.
It mast ocrtainly bo oonoeeded that hels a good
speaker—flaont, energetio, eloquent—and his
remarks well adapted to the plaeo and the occa
sion. He spoke of the benefits of snob exhibi
tions in diffasing praotioal knowledge, elevating
and cnoouraging agricultural ldndostry, and
stimulating mechanical ingenuity. He made
some Blight allusions to politioal matters, bat
casually and in good taste. In speaking of the
Union as one nation and one people, ho enjoined
it npon Pennsylvania as the “ Keystone of tho
Federal Aroh” to stand by it forever, in what
ever form it might be assailed, or by whatever
dangers menaced. His allneions to Pennsylva
nia history in connection with this snbjeot were
deoldedly in good taste. He was frequently and
enthusiastically oheered.
Whatever differences of politioal opinion may
prevail, and however strong tho politioal preju
dices of parties may be, the people of this coun
try, without distinction of creed or party, know
how to greot the Chief Magistrate appropriately,
reepcotfnlly and oordially. The President must
oortainly hare been gfatifiod with his reception,
and all spoak well of his appearonoo, his speeoh,
and the simplicity aud cordiality of his manners.
Governor Pollook was oatled out in reply to the
Preeident. Ho spoke but a few minutes, but
what he said was deoidodly good,, strongly in
favor of the Union, and pledging Pennsylvania
to her whole duty in that behalf. Tbo Governor ]
is eloquent, and his speech was all right. Ex
Governor Bigler made a few good remarks ; and
tbeo the President was conducted through the
Fair grounds, and many an inventor and exhibi
tor was doubtless delighted at his favorablo no
tine of tbo products of their skill.
The President, 1 am told, will remain over to
morrow , returning to Washington on Friday
morning. But, as your oorrospondeDt has had
to aot as a jodge at the Fair ; as one cf the
Presidential escort; and os almost the only Re
porter for the press visible on the ground, all in
one day, besides attending to some law business,
he must bo exousod for oiosing this lettor here,
simply expressing a regret that the prespeot is
dial to-morrow —the great day of the Fair, is
ikely to be rainy. U.

the oommitleocf their “ midnightora” is to eB
tablish a test. Lot it be done immediately.
Capt. Johh fj. Nicholas —This offioer, who
had oommand of the XI. S. steamer Michigan, on
tho Lakes, has been retired on furlough pay.
He is exceedingly popular on the Lakes, and
his oase seems to exeite much feeling. A letter
dated Erie, September 21st, lays a meeting of
the merobants there has alroady been hold, and
othors will be held at Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit
and Chicago. The letter further says Capt.
Niobolas bid adien to his ship tbiß morning.
The crew and offlaers were oalled aft, and his
detaohmont from the ship, with the order for
his furlough, read. Capt. Nioholas then address
ed them as follows:
“My lads —Ton perceive that after nearly
forty years’ services it has been decided that 1
am incompetent to oommand this ship—tho fifth
I have commanded. 1 believe your feelings to
ward me are kindly, and if so, 1 wish yon to
ebow them by yonr obedtenoe, aotivily and
general good conduot under my successor, and
prove that 1 am still oompetent to leave behind
me a ship in good order, and a well disciplined
orew. My lads farewell."
Another Trimble Paper for Sal*.
The Columbus Continental, a Trimble paper,
edited by A. Banning Norton, we learn, was
otfored the other day to the Chase men for $6O.
Thus, one after another, the Trimble papers are
exhibiting signs of disease aad death. Only
somo ten or eleven of them now maintain a fee
ble oxlstenoe. And yet, while they aro bo few,
and while there are about 120 papers in the
State ably supporting Mr. Chase, the Times
has the mendaoity to reprosent that Trimble
will get more votes than Chase. —Cincinnati

Epidemics.—Each year seems to bring its pe
culiar disease, distinctly defined in its oharaoter.
Last season we had oholera throughout the coun
try; this year, fevers in their several varieties
seem to pervade. Yellow, billons, typhoid and
fever and ague have a ran, superinduced, we
presume, by the exoessive wet weather. We un
derstand fever and ague has obtained a foothold
in the lower part of Allegheny oity, and a spe
cies of typhoid fever in this oity. Throughout
the West fevers are reported to prevail to a great
extent.

Particulars of the Sinking of the Propeller
Forost City end the Schooner Asia.
Tho tolegruph yestordey briefly announced
the oollision of tho propeller Forest City &nd
the sohoonor Asia. We gather some particulars
from the Milnaukie papers of yesterday, com
manioated by Ur. Thomas Howland, the mate
of the Forest City.
About two o’clock Friday morning, says the
Sentinel, the weather being thick and -rainy,
with a seven-knot breeze blowing, the Forest
City, then twelve miles west of Qrand Traverse
Bay, and twenty-five miles north of the Manl
tons, disooverod a sail vessel on her larboard
bow. The propeller’s oonrse was immediately
changed, so as to clear this vessel, bat while
coming np into her coarse again, a seoond sail
was soen so dose aboard, that though the pro
peller’s onginea were stopped and backed, a col
lision beoame unavoidable, and the two vessels
strnok with great foroe. The sohooner, whloh
proved to be the Asia, of Cleveland, was strnak
nearly amidships, and sank In twenty minates.
I The propeller's etem was nearly torn off by the
I oollision, and the water oommonoed pouring in
I in an Irresistible volnme.
Capt. Pheatt gave orders to oat a hole in the
forecastle to ascertain the extent of the damage,
wbioh was found to be fatal. While thus lying,
disabled and fast sinking, a seoond vessel, be
lieved to be the sohooner Modbnry, strnok the
Forest City on the starboard side, doing some
slight damage, and carrying away some of her
own rail and rigging. The captain of the
sohooner, with an oath, demanded tho name of
the propeller, when the bell, was tolled as a sig
nal of distress, bat the schooner passed on and
abandoned the propeller to her fate.
Capt. Pheatt then went Into the cabin and ln-
formed the passengers that the vessel was sink
ing, bat he would save them If they would aot
according to his dlreotlons. All were oalm, and
at once the two yawls and a life-boat were low
ered. The boat on the larboard side was first
got down, loaded with twenty-fonr of the steer
age passengers, and pat in oharge of the wheels
man and two hands, making twenty-seven in all.
; The starboard boat, which was the largest, was
noxt got Into the water, and the cabin paaaen
gers and remainder of the steerage pat In her,
twenty-nine in all. Lastly, the life boat, tho
smallest of tho three, was lowered away, and
then the captain, having seen to tho safety of
every eonl intrusted to bis oare, got into her
with the clerk, engineers, offioega and orew,
I seventeen in all.
I All being safely embarked] the oaptaln gave
I orders to pall for shore, supposed to be twolvo
I miles distant; bat in tho coarse of an boor the
I lights of a vessel were mode ont, and the boats
I headed for them, in a little While they mot her,
and were taken on board tbftSahooDer Hamlet,
bound fiom Chioago to Buffalo. In this vessel,
the passengers and orew proceoded to Macki
naw. From Mackinaw ihe passengers and first
mate were brought to Milwaakio by the propel
ler Fintry, while tie captain and orew rotarned
to Batfato. The captain and orew of tho Asia
were also picked up by the Hamlet.
The oargo of the propeller was a very valaa
bio one—about 126 lons for Mtlwaukie, and 260
I tonß for Chioago. Of afjjrse, both vessel and
eargo are a total loss, hfijjbg gene down whore
the water ie five or six hundred feet doop. The
Asia sank in about twenty minutes after the
oollision, and tho Forest.tllly In aboat an hour.
The Forest City was ft first oloss propeller,
worth $26,000 or $lO,OOO. She was owaod by
Messrs Hoffman & Stevens, New York, and M
18. Medberry, of Mllwaukie, five-eighths; Mor
I gan St Hoot, of Buffalo, two eighths ; and Capt
I Pheatt, one eighth. There wae about $lB,OOO
I of insurance on tho hull; $6,000 in tho Mer
chants' Matual of Milwaukie, and the some
I amount in a Bnflalo company.
mayor Wood
The corruptions of the Board of Aldermen of
the oily of Ootham have at length asoumed a
tangible form, and in the hande of Mayor Wood
will not bo permitted to sleep. That functionary
talks In tho following fashion to tho dignitaries:
“ However painful and humiliating it is to
me to make tho announcement and for yon to
receive it, still we owe a duly to the publio
from which we must not shrink, effect whom it
may. Your body Bbould not only be purged of
every corrupt member who may hold a plaoe
among you, bat the utmoet penalty of the law
should bo inflicted against every man thus
guilty. This community has struggled against
its own ofiioials long ouough. Its repeated ef
forts to reduce tho expenditures, to raise tho
standard of the incumbent of oflioo, and to im
prove the obaraoter of the government of the
city will oontlnue futile so long as tho legislative
branch is impure and uufaithtol. From a cor
rnpt fountain nothing bat contamination oan
flow. A common oonncil without integrity, be
ing the source and origin of the ordinances, will
not fail to impart its own epirit to those who
are to exeouto its proceedings until tho whole
machinery of government will speedily become
rotten and demoralized. It Is the conviction of
honest men that, in the management of our pub
lio affairs, we are fast progressing to tho lamon-
table state of degradation.
11 la my opinion, pabllo indignation oannot be
muoh longer suppressed. We are approaohing
a oriels when tbe goneral ory will be ' Reforma
tion or Resolution ’ New York, so strong, so
proud, so eminent in ail that constitutes com
mercial honor, hard earned wealth, and exalted
sooial position, oannot, with all her gseatness,
long resist the gnawings of thiß foul oonker,
working thus steadily at her mnnioipal heart
t behooves, therefore, to make oommon oause
la a oommon effort, without referenoe to party
productions, to redeem, if possible, the fair
fame of our city from tbe load of offioial igno
miny whloh is now bearing it down.’’
We understand certain members of Counoils
of Allegheny City are largely interested in par
ing and grading. Hare we a Mayor Wood among
9ewe of trie Vicinity
A young man, named Qeorgo Wilhelm, was
killed on the Central Road, at Kittsning Point,
Cambria county, on Wednesday. It appears
that on descending tbe hoary grade at that
point, two of the oars of the train to whioh
Wilhelm belonged, became dclaobed, and, ano
ther train coming on shortly afterwards, oaused
a collision by whioh he was thrown under the
oars and killed.
The Washington oounty Agricultural Fair took
plaoe on Wednesday and Thursday of last week.
Oa the first day the attendenoe was small, bat
on Thursday the people gathered by handreds.
Muoh valuable stook was exhibited, and a fine
display was made in some other departments.
A young man was shot at Wellsbarg on Sat
urday night last, and waa injured so severely
that his life is despaired of. He, with others,
was stoning a houso of ill-fame, when a shot was
fired from the building.
A oollision reoently took plaoe on the Central
Railroad in New York, by whioh tho engineer
and several passengers were killed, and a num
ber of porsone badly hurt. 11 is mentioned of a
drover who was asloep in one of tho cattle oars,
that when awakened, be looked up, yawned, and
notioing the wreok about him, said : “ Well, this
is a d—d pretty business. Where’s my hat?”
This, too, when in tho next oar twenty head of
cattle had been slaughtered !

DEDICATION OF THE NEW MASONIC TEMPLE,
PHILADELPHIA.
OKA BID PARADE OF THE ORDER
Wednesday was an era in tho history of Free
masonry in Philadelphia. The most gorgeous
Masonio Temile probably in the world—and
certainly the most splendid in the Union has
been dedicated to the uses of the Order, and one
of the most impoelng demonstrations over wit
nessed in that oity has marked the event. The
ooroer etone of the new Hall was laid upon Mon
day, November 21st, 1863, and fie only regular
parade npon that oooasion wae that formed by
the officers of the Grand Lodge, who met in the
vioinlty of the site of the Hall and marohed to
tho spot It was then determined that the dedi
cation of the new Temple should be marked by
a grand procession of the entire Order in the
oity, and extensive preparations have since boon
in progress for tho evont. The oonsummation
of these-plans has fully realized the intentions
of the brotherhood.
Tho following order, to bo observed in regard
to drees, &0., was issued on Tuesday .-
The Marshals of Lodges will be particular in
observing that the orders of the Grand Master
are etrlotly conformed to by the Brethren, espe
cially as regards dress, (whioh will consist of a
Slack Hat, Black Cravat, Black Vest, Black
(Dress) Coat, Black Pants and White Gloves.)
On no consideration o»u Brethren not conform-
ing to the above bo admitted in the Procession.
Canes, unless absolutely required, will be ex
cluded from the dine. No Brother nnattaehed
to a Lodge oan participate in the oeremonies.
Tho weather was all that ooald be desired,
the sun rose in a oloodlese sky, end the atmos
phere wee such as we have seen desonbed in
books as peculiar to favored quarters of the
Qlobe neither so cool as to require tho cost but
toned, nor so worm as to mako It desirable to
throw the garment off. Eight o’olook was the
time named for the moving of the line, and the
early hoar fixed required that the brethren
should bo stirring betimes. The lodges met at
rations places as convenient as possible to Third
and Pine streets, while the old Hall, in Third
street, above Spruce, was appropriated to the
use of tho country brethren and strangere from
a distance. This vicinity was, consequently,
the great centre of attraction, and thitherwards
hundreds of gontlomen, sll dressed io the “regu
lation ” suit of decorous block, might bo seen
wending their way towards the old Hall.
Thera was a remarkable degree of uniformity
in the appearanoe of the participants In the dis
play, each brother being attired in a fall suit of
blook, dress ooat, with white kid gloves, plain
bine sash, trimmed with silver laoe, and plain
white apron, trimmed with bine. The officers
of the Grand Lodge alone wore tho fall Masonio
Regalia of their respective stations. The pro
cessions differed from most pabllo parades in
either particulars —there were no banners what
ever carried, nor wero any of the Marshals
mounted. There were twelvo fine bonds of ma
sk distributed at regular Intervals along tho
line. The band whioh accompanied the Grand
Lodge, was oomposed entirely of members of
the Order, each beiog clothed In regalia. This
band was got together through tho exertions of
Dr. Cunningham. It was a deoided feature of
the display. The fallowing gentlemen acted as
Grand Marshal and Assistant Grand Marshals:
Gbahd Mabshal.
Jacob Laudenelagsr.
Assistabt Übamd Mabshals.
J. L. Hntohinson, Alex. Murphy, G. W. Wood,
Wm. Camao, F. S. Lewis, J. Wm. Hofmann, Jos.

C. Suploe, A. L Hough, Goo F. Dolleker, Wm.
A. Fox, Martin Leans, G. Eokendorf, Attwood
Smith, Edwin Waltson, Franklin Bmith.
The Grand Marehal and Assistant Grand Mar
shale oarried batons of office, while the Lodgo
Marshals were distinguished by bins aahds tip
ped with silver. The lino was formed in the
following order:
Band.
Grand Marshal
Junior Lodge in front.
The Lodges then followod in regular order,
tho youngest organization having tho preco
denoe, and the Bonior subordinate Lodge bring
ing up tho rear. Eaoh Lodge was formed in tbe
following order :
Master of Coremouy.
Entered Apprentices, two and two
Fellow Craft, two and two
Master Masons, two and two
Fast Masters, two and two
Deacons.
Secretary and Treasurer.
Wardens.
Worahipfnl Master.
lu the rear of tho oldest Lodge brethren from
other jurisdictions followed.
Then camo tho
Grand Tyler.
Building Committee.
Architect.
Grand Offioera of other Jurisdictions
Past Grand Officers
Pursuivant.
Grand Stewards-
Grand Chaplains.
Orator.
Grand Deacons.
Grand Secretary and Grand Treasurer
Grand Wardens.
Deputy Grand Master.
Grand Master.
Grand Sword Bearer.
The Past Grand Offioera, who constitute the
Qrand Lodge, paraded with their respective
lodges until after the ceremonies at Indepen
dence Square. At 17th and Chestnut streetfl
the Grand Lodge first formed itself into a dis
tinot body. The line was formed In double
ranks, left In front, the right resting on the
southeast oorner of Third and Sprnoo streets,
extending along the east side of Third street to
Pine street, and from thenoe along the south
sido of Pine street westward. It was near nine
o’olook before the word was given to march, and
the procession then passed along Pine street to
Broad, thenoe to Spruoe street, thence to Twelfth,
thenoe to Walnut street, thenoe to ladependenoe
Square. The body moved at a qniok gait, and
forty-four minute* were cooupied in passing a
glvea point. By an accurate oount there wore
8,770 persons In the line.
Whon the head of the prooession had reaohed
the southern entrance to Independence Square,
the rear was In Sprooo street, between Eleventh
and Twelfth. A halt was then made, the
brethren formed In open order faolng Inwards,
and thus countermanded, the rear passing
through the oontre, and the lodges falling in and
passing through In the same manner. While
this oeremony was being performed the brethren
were all uncovered. The splendid appearance
of the lino was the theme of general remark;
the participants in the parade were, without on
exception, weU-dresßed and genteel looking men,
while in the ranks many of our prominent oiti
zens were seen. There were quite a number of
country lodges in the prooeesiou, and many in
dividual members of lodges in remote sections
participated.
THE CBEEMOHIEB IN INDEPENDENCE SQUARE.
At this point, under the admirable arrange
ment of the police foroe, tbo wbolo enclosure
was kept oloar of intrusion. By 9 o’olook, the
windows of the great hall of the State House,
and all those of the private buildings fronting
the square wero filled with ladies, while orowda
were olustered upon the railings surrounding
the square.
At 9} o’olook the clang of martial musio
awoke the echoes in the old ball, and the head
of the long prooession having arrived at the gate
on Walnut street, open ranks were formed, and
in all the splendor of Masonio paraphanella
the Grand Lodge and the Past Grand Masters
passed betwen the open ranks and entered the
enclosure.
In the Square, a large platform, for the Ora
tor of the day, the officiating Chaplain, and the
other offioers taking part in the ceremonies, had
been ereotod on the east side of the main walk,
midway between the Hall and the southern on
tranoe. Direotly opposite this stage, on the
west of the avenue, was a very extensive covered
platform, for the aooommodatlon of the oholr
and orohestra.
The ohoir, under the direction of Dr. Cunning
ton, performed a Grand Maroh in front of the
last desoribed stand, during the entranoo of the
Prooession, which formed in solid oolumn from
the Hall to the gate, and filled the whole spaoe
and grounds between the stands —all the breth
ren faolng east.
A prayer was then offered by Rev. John
Chambers, Grand Chaplain-
The prayer was eloquent, impressive aod ap
propriate. The blessing of Almighty God, the
founder of the universe, was invoked upon the
President of the United States, the Governor of
tho State, the union of the States, the Grand
Lodge, and all the members under its Masonio
jurisdiction.
After an ode bad been snog, James King, M.
D., of Pittsburgh, delivered a very able and
beautiful oration. After that the procession
marched to the Hall, where the dedication took
plaoe.

Knowing, from expsrience, the valuable qualities of Dr.
M’Lane’s Vermifuge and Liver Pitta, I have for sums tints
took considered It my duty, and made it my business, to
mako those articles known whsrevef I went among my
friends. A short time ago I beoame acquainted with the
cava of a yotßtg girl, who seemed to ho troubled wltlxworms
and liver complaint at the same time, and bad been suffer
ing fbr some two months. Through my persuasion she
purchased one bottle of Dr. M'Lane’s Vermifuge, and one
box of Liver PUls, which she v took according to directions.
The result was, ihe passed a large quantity of worms, and
thinks that one box more of tbs Pills will restore her to
perfect health. Her name and residence can be learned by
calling on E. L. Theall, Druggist, corner of Rntger nnd
Monroe streets.
j&- Dr; M’Lane’s gennius Liver PUls, also his celebrated
Vermifuge, can now be had at all respectable Drug Stores
in tbe United States and Canada.

but Dr. M*lone'a Vermifuge. Ail others, in comparison,
are worthless.

Standing Onrsd.—Ur. John Longden, Dos'living at
Beaver Dam, Hanover county, near Rlohmond, had Ague
» n d Fever tor three years; most of the time he had chills
twice a day, and rarely lees than once: he was parched
with fevers as soon as the chill left him j and after trying
physicians, quinine, moat of the tonics advertised, and
everything recommended to him, was about to give up in
despair, when Spanish Mixture was spoken of: ho
got two bottles, but before he'had need more than a single
one, he was perfectly cored, and has not had a chill or
fever since.
Mr. Lon plan la only one out of thousands who have
b«»T? benefited by this great tonic, alterative and blood pu
rifier. See advertisement. sep4:lm

The mode of Inhalation, of diseased lungs and
throat, recommended by Dr. Oortis In his advertisement,
ft-T-tfrc* as as the true one. It is now generally admitted by
our best phyaicians, that local difficulties can only be suc
cessfully treated by local applications. This practice has
been pursued from the first with respect to external inflam
mation corrosions, and we sea not why diseases of the
throat and longs may not be treated In the same manner;
we believe they may. In this variable climate of ours,
where lung and throat complaints have become eo preva
lent «»pd rife, we earnestly recommend to the pnblic, and
to the qffiicted eiptciaßy, to avail themselves of Dr. Curtis
remedy.—{One who haa tried it.] Bee advertisement in
