This is no! as it should be. Our suh.crihers at Millersville, New Ceti. tle, and Schuylkill Haven, will hereafter receive their papers by mail. The packet for Westwood will hereafter be left at William Milnes & Co's Store—and the packet for St. Clair, at Mr.Coates worth's. Schuylkill County Election. The contest in this county has resulted in signal triumph on the pert of pure democracy Over Loco Pocoisin and the rotten delegate eys tem. The regular delegate ticket, with one exception, has been defeated in the county. AbrahanOleebrier has beaten Col. ettraub by a .majority of 104-Charles Prailey has beerielec- - ted as Prothonotary over George Rahn, the pres ent incumbent, by a majority of 66, and Major Dowing, the Delegate Candidate for Register and Recorder is elected over Col. Krebs by amejori ty of 00. It' will be observed by the returns that the Pottsville district, the strongest Vt , big district in .the county, has given a majority for Col. Straub over the highest of the other candidates, although his whole vote falls fifty-four short of that he re . ceived last year; this is owingmainly to the fact that the Whig vote in this borough (a large por- Lion of which was not polled) was divided between ~, Mr. Heebner and Captain Mills, the Folunteer candidate. Mr. Heebner's views in relation to a National currency were not generally known, and'as Cajit. Mills had openly avocied himself the friend of Protection and a National Bank, a large portion of the Whigs threw their votes for the latter ; and another portion, who were indif ferent as to the AILICCeSS of either candidate , actu -64 voted for the regUlarly nominated Locofoco candidate, , Cof. Straub. This the only reason _ we can _sari offer for the strange vote polled in Pottsville onithe occasion referred to. ' We.rejoice particularly in the election of Abra ham Heebner and Charles Frailey. We know the former s te d be a strong TaPiff advocate, and one who will oppose to the last, any attempt - to repeal the present law ; he is of so in favor of the Distribution, and from what vie know of him, we feel convinced that in his representative ca pacity he will be influenced solely by motives for the benefit of the People.. The latter is an inde pendent, ~high-minded, honorable than ; no man is, probably, hetteiknown and more generally es teemed in this district than Charles Frailey. He has proved himself no truckler to party, and , his etraiot-forward fe.szlessness whilst in the Legis letnre_in pursuing the right course regardless of the party leaders, won for him the respect of the people, whilst it at the same time crea ted bitteronewies against him among the pol iticians of his own party. He is afro a strong Tariff tosni'and in this respect differs from the great body of the Loco Foco party.— We repeat it, we are pleased with his election. . The leading Straub men pubhcly admit that the result of-the election is a complete overthrow , of the Delegate systein in this county. The .recent political contest in this county was conducted throngheist with good feeling, and•ave ere pleased tosayfinit with one or two exceptions, none of the virulence so usually chlaracteristic of local contests wad manifested. The exception we intend dwelling upon. because we believe tt to de; serve the reprehension of every good memher of the community. One of the speakers at I late Straub meeting. who junior editor and conduc• ter of a,Loco Foco paper in this neighborhood, in hie efforts to sillily the charieter of Mr. Frailey, threw mit insinuations against h , in for his official acts during the late riots here; thus feebly endea voring.to excite popular feeling against an officer for walking honestly and fearlessly in the path prescribed by his 'duty. No man of common hod ersty would peewit , Charles 'Fraley of a desire to oppress the poor man, end any, attempt to excite the popular preirdice against an officer, who faith fully performed his duty, ought to be frowned down by every. member of the community who boa any claims- la decent); or.fpeat fit the laixj, ?'

In Philadelp hia city . the Democratic Whig tick et has succeeded throughout tha - gayer, Sen ator, and Aftsetnbly men, by 1000imajority, and the Contcilslby.about 600 majori . ty. The Lo cofocos have carried the count ticket -by about 2000 majority, and the city and coUnty officers of the same party have succeeded by small majori- Atet, exceP , t, Edward C.

Bradford—one Whig elected. Allegheny--one Whig and two locos elected COL. RICHARD M. Joassorr.—This fine old soldier, after l having visited several portions of our region and been introduced to a number of our citizens, left in the cars for Philadelphia on Sat urday morning last.. Heilwas accompanied to Reading by a Committee and a Band of Music from this place; his reception there was highly complimentary, and he did not leave for the city until the following Monday. We regret to learn that upon the Colonel's arrival at that city he met with a loss similar to that of his last visit to Philadelphia. He had scarcely alighted from the cars before some considerate scamp relieved him of his pocket book, containing $ 150. This is whit we would call•rather a warm reception. It will be necessary for great men hereafter to dis pense with the ceremony of shaking hands upon entering city crowds, as .they will find it much safer to cariy their digits in their breeches pock ets alongside of their purses. Pates OP Woon 171 Pklllalli . LPlllA.—We learn from the Philadelphia papers that the stock of Wood in Philidelphia is very; small •at this season of the year, and what is there is sel• ling at less than cost prices, as follows : Oak, $ 4 to $ 4 50 per cord. Hickory, sto 550 do Pine, Mixed, generally scrubby Wood, One ton of Coal is considered to be equal to 11 cord,of Hickory, anO. I cords of Oak Wood. The low rates at which 0441 has been afforded since the opening of the Rail Road, has caused a great diminution iii the consumption of wood, end we are assured by an .intelligent gentleman that it is supposed that the consumption of Coal in the city. of Philadelphia, and vicinity, would be increased at least 50 000 tons the present year. Mantuan' ELECTIoN. We regret to learn that in consequence of division, which is nothing uncommon this year, the Whigs have been de- feated in three of their strong counties, which gives the Locofocos a i majority of sit on joint bal lot in theWhik state of Maryland. By this re sult we lose a Unitedf3tates Senator, in the place of the Hon. Mr. Kew. The parties - stand as fol. lows : Senate, House, The State of Maryland is as safe for Henry Clay in 1844 as any State in the Union. We have lately. received a pamphlet on the im propriety of Capital Punishments, being a review of Dr. Cuyler's sermon, entitled " the Law of God with respect to murder, " written by Job R. Ty sot{, Esq.. Chairman of the committee chosen to. examine and report upon said sermon. Mr. Ty son is well known as a strenuous advocate in fa= vor of a repeal of the present law. He is a fine writer—a powerful reasoner, and the pamphlet we refer to is a strong argument against the comic mance of this semi-barbarian custom. The socie ty of which Mr. Tyson stands the head, has done much towards repealing this odium of our stat utes, and we still hope to see their efforts finally blessed. ,ANOTHES ACCIDLNT IN TOR MIRE/I.—John Cook and William Crease, two miners working in Patton's mines, near Llewellyn, were caught 14 a heavy fall of coal and slate, crushing and kil• ling they former instantly, and falling upon the latter in such a manner as to prevent his moving or eslaping. They remained in this situation from early on Saturday afternoon until 9 o'clock at night, when their non-appearance created an alarm, and knowing that they were working alone in these mines they were sought for and found in the situation we describe—the deceased has left behind him a wife. , Whig.

Spontaneous Combustion. About ri-Year since, we comtnixt6ed a eeries of articlei for the purpoSe of sh# , ring the done"' of using Bituminous Coal on-board of vessels, par ticularly on long voyages. At the time, we met with opposition from all quarters; to our views. Since` then, however, so many instances have oc curred proving the liability of this fuel towards combustion, that opinion has changed almost en tirely; and many serious losses, unaccounted for at the ; time, havexince been attributed to'this cause. The loss of the President, which! occasioned- so much speculation at the time, 'is ,now believed to have been caused'entirely,by combustion. It will be remembered that about the time she Vitas supposed to have been lost, a hulk, apparently of a large sized steam vessel, was seen, burfit down to the water's edge. As no other vessel was lost at that time, and as the wreck was seep in about the latitude where the President woula"'nattyally have been, the conclusion is that it was all that remained of the ill fated vessel. I We are pleased to see that Government is moving in this matter; professor Walter' R.-Johnson is now• engaged at Washington in experimenting on -the different kinds of coal, and of testing their respective ad vantages in point of safety and strength for steam generating purposes. 'We have been furnished with the following ex tract by an unknown correspondent. It isfrom the Gentlemen's Magazine published in 1753, and is an early' instance to prove the danger of using bi tuminous coal on board of vessels: Virginia, Sept. IS. On the 10th instant, the Ship -Pearl, made the land, nigh cape- Charles, when a ve ry uncommon accident happened,: which had near destroyed the ship and every soul on board. In coming trom . the lower hold, something like smoke was observed. and a heat felt among the coals, which lay in the forepike, sap was 'ordered to dig down a little. and throw some pump cans of water upon them; but the father deWn they weht they found them hotter and hotter. on-Which they got baskets and threw them overboard ;and; in Digging farther down, they found the foremast burn. hall through, and sev eral parts of the Ceiling to a coal. The cause of it was perhaps the sulplcat contaihed in the coals; which may serve as a caution to those who send coals on a long vovage, not to take soca as have a great quantify of sulphur in them' • As INCMENT.—The following was related to us by a friend who was preserit at the late Dan ville celebration. It occurred in the grove whilst Col. Johnson was addressing the multitude. The Colonel' was describing the battle or the Thames, and had just arrived at that point where General Harrison gave the order to charge, when a gen tleman in the crowd called out, o But Colonel ! they say Gen. Harrison was a coward ; how is that!" The Colonel paused, looked direct ly at the speaker, and answered: No my friend he was not a coward—he possessed as brave and as patriotic a heart, as ever beat in the breast of of any American. General Harrison's eye was always bright in flapresence of the enemy." The words were scarcely uttered before there arose a shout such as had not been heard on that day be fore. "It was an evidence, " said our narrator, "that the spirit of 1840 was still alive in the breasts of the people, and I looked upon it as an augury in favor of 1844." Seavan 0114 ntseT.—James Gregory, a prom inent Whig in Philadelphia, who was appointed to an office by Commissiary General Tyson, and for the sake of retaining his office, abandoned his principles—joined the Locofocos, and even bar tongued a meeting of that party in opposition to the Whigs a few days before the election, was, we are pleased to learn, removed from office by Col. Stanton, the new Commissiary - General, on Tuesday last, and Mr. Irvine, trtephew of the old, incumbent, re-insta,ted. Such 'ought to he the, fate of all renegatle\vvho ate willing to barter their principles for the lake of office. Moansit.—One of the moat deliberate and cold blooded-murders we have ever Been recorded was committed on board of a Steamboat in the vicinity of Mobile. An Italian named John Mark, walked up to, Mr. W. Clark, a gentleman from Green county. and without any provocation whatever deliberately shot him through the head. He then attempted to shoot the bar-keeper who made his escape. • He was delivered up to the Sheriff upon the landing of the boat, and will have his trial for the murderous deed. MORN DIVPICULTI I N C•si n *no E.—The Cambridge students have had another muss there lately. One of the students turned informer of some breach of discipline and peached ; in cense qnence of which the guilty one was expelled - - six or seven other Students then caught the in former end soundly ducked him, which was also carried to. the Faculty, who accordingly held a meeting and au:Tended all those engaged in the affair. 3to 356 do 3to 350 do DIRGRACIFUL.—Between 10 and 11 o'clock on Thursday night, a gang of ruffians called the Chalk Committee,' entered the Hotel of Mr. Ce rels, in Chesnut St., end commented demolishing the bar, decanters, &e. A general fight was the result, in which several persons were much injur ed. The windows were ell broken in, end the building so much defaced that it wee thought pru dent to close the Hotel. The kiellerites, commonly called the end of-the-worlders,' are creating quite a sensation in New Hampihire. They attract spectators where ever they go. They have •tarred, so says the Claremont Eagle, for Salero,,,Mass., where they are to make another grand display. Every body runs to see the 'big tent.'

They manufacture over sixty barrels of flour in twenty , four hours, besides two tone of oat meal s , and one ton of bar ! ley. GEOTIGTA.—The election in this State hatigone for the Anti-Tariff party, as was expected by a bout the same majority as last year. By 1844,it is to Vs hoped-that the good effects of the recent Tariff, wilLbe 'sufficient to throw light upon this apparently benighted region.; ••• The Pennsylvania Ingunce speaks 'rather con temptuOusly of the escort, which acconipaiiied Col, Johnson out of the city; on Wednesday last.

Over 10,000' ballets of flour arrived in Boston ast week by rail road. • According to the last census, goods to the a mount of 114,000,000 were manufactured in the New gtigland States. A newspaper has just made ita appearance in Egypt.- It is printed in French.

Marriage is the best-state for man in general, and every man is a worse man in proportion as he is unfit for the marriage state. That's true. The Reading parwrs complain of burglars in that vicinity. DISTRESS IN WASIIINGTOS.—There appears to be no provision for the poor at the capital of the nation. The Intelligencei aya—lnstances have not unfrequertly occurred, within the last twelve months, of persons being found going a bout the streets of this metropolis bereft of reas on, home, shelter, protection, friends, or any means whatever to procure them food or raiment, which they absolutely needed. Gases OLD Ase.—There died lately, says a German paper, in the village of Fclsoe Foerock, in Transylvania, a firmer named Terebesi, in the 135th year of his age. He always enjoyed good health, and worked in the field until. just before Lis death. Mr. Calhoun, it is said, has stated his determi nation not to submit to the decision of a Nation al Convention ; but to be a candidate fur the Presidency, nomination or no nomination." The Army of the United States has been re cently•redticed from 12,300 to 9,000. The ra tions of some of. the officers have also been redu ced. A correspondent of the N. Y.

BASK or ESSLAND NOTSSe—Tbe tact to which we alluded•some time ago, that the,notes of the Hank of England harfouraMdmission as currency, is attracting notice in various quarters. As indicating the necessity of furnishing-a nation al currency for ourselves the thing speaks volumes; and it affords a- worthy conclusion to OS' senca of etperimente which began by destroying a good currency, proceeded aith promises of a better, and ended with giving none. The following from the fittintreal Herald refers to this subject. 7 —Bah. 'Amer. A curious illustration of the.wisdom of legisia tanks, who choose to be guid,ll rather by the roles of is fond theory than the sober dictates of experi ence,may be found in the fact, that Bank of Eng land Notes are pretty fieely circulating in the southern and western cities of the Union. They doubtless form the very best circulation for the people in that region. You need not be told of 'the fame?: prediction of the prince of hard mon ey-men, Col. Benton,, of the United States Senate; that nee of the consequences of the destruction of the 'United States Bauk would be a flood of gold up the Mississippi.' And this is the way the prophecy is fulfilled. The Bank Monster was to be pat down, because it was a British Bank,' or had a number of En g lish names in the list of stock holders, and its notes were to be superseded by gold and silver, the latter to be extracted by the famous gold bill, from the coffers of the Bank of England.

Mn. CJLED Cusaisto.—This gentleman was afforded an opportunity on Friday afternoon, of addressing his constituents at - Newburyport, in explanation of his course as a member of Congress since Tyler's accession to the Presidency.. About twelve hundred persons were present, and Mr. Cushing spoke two hours. We have read two reports of his speech, and consider it on the whole not only nu morthy of republication, but scarcely worthy of notice. it has a forced and a feeble ef. tort to justify John Tyler's abandonment of the party and the principleswhich raised him to the post which be occupies. Of course there is with this dampt, a bundle of reasons, such as they are, for Mr. Cushing's own extraordinary fa cility of adapting tits opinions and practice to weather-cock acts of the President. If we had Mr. Cushing's ear, we should ask him one question in answer to his two hour's ha rangue. Why did John Tyler go to the Harris burg Convention as a friend of Henry Clay r ifhis own principles were not then coincident with Mr. Clay's? He ( Mr. T.) would then..have nomi nated, and did nominate as far as his own voice could go, Mr. Clay for the Presidency. With what conscience could he have made Mr. Clay Presidenpv-knowing that Mr. C. would in that ca pacity r 'eaaimend, promote and sanction every measure, which he himself, as President, has op posed and defeated? Let Mr. Cushing answer this question, and until, he can, let him net pre sume to abuse the honest intelligence of hie con stituents er the people at large, by essaying to ex tenuate the rankness of his own political offences or those of his patron—in futuro.— N.rlll Amer. icon.

These wires are wound round with cotton yarn, over which is a coat of shellac varnish. The ends which enter the battery are connected by a piece of platina wire which passes amongst the gunpowder. When the , explosion is required, the opposite ends of the two wires are suddenly brought in contact, the one with the positive and the other with the negative pole of the galvanic battery ; the effect is to heat the phial na wire instantly sufficient to ignite the gunpovv der.—Arner7can Mechanic. LIIIHEST VESSEL I!I THE %VORLD.—Tho Great Western steamship, which is in the course of construction by the Great Western Company, at Bristol. England, is said to be the largest V.eflel in the world. She will be ready:_ for sea in the spring. She is 224 feet long ;51 feet in breadth 32 feet in depth. Her tonnage is 3200, which exceeds the registered tonnage of any two steam ships in the world: - She will accommodate 360 passengers, and have room-for 1000 tons of coal, and 1200 tons of merchandise: She will have four engines, each of 250 horse power, in all 1000 horse power, and three boilers containing 200 tons of water, and heated by 21 fires. She is to be propelled by the newly invented screw propeller. FUGITIVE mutat JUSTICE.—We yesterday, stated that a man was pursued (torn- New Lon don, (Conn.) end captured at Powcafuck, (R. I.) taken before a magistrate,and committed to jail by the authorities of the State 'on a charge, sustained by affidavits, of passing counterfeit money at the former place. As Gov. Cleaveland, of Con., lies time and a gain openly declared that " Thomas W. Dorr is the legal and Constitutional Governor of Rhode Island," and that Gov. King ie an usurper, it will now be seen to which functionary be will deem it right and proper to apply for the delivering up of the said fugitive from justice" to the authorities of Connecticut for triaL—Providence Chronicle. DIXO3 ' S Fern—The Trenton Gazette of Thursday soya The famous George Wash ington Dixon came into our office yesterday after noon, having arrived in Trenton at '.15 minutes past eleven in the morning, at which time he com pleted his feat of walking 60 miles in 12 hours.-- He began at 12 o'clock; on ttlejuit iy-nigitt, at Al len's Race Course neat. Philadelphia, and about 7 o'block: on Wednesday morning started for Tren ton. ,The horses and horsemen which attempted to accompany 'him ,on his roond gave out; the last one about five miles from 'Trenton. ,Dixon was ins iotid spirits, yesterday afternoon, and said he was not very much fatigued ; but he looked a good I deal exhausted." Mankind may be divided into three classes.— Those who learn from the experience of others, they are happy men. Those who learn from their own experience—they are wise men. And lastly, thorn who tram neither from their own e nor from other people's experience—:they are fools. &mow lircEirar.—The Lecture • before. the Bostbn Lyceum last..evening, was delivered by John Quincy Adams: The_ Odeon, of course, was filled to overflowing, there being hardljii vacant seat, even in the upper galleries, The audience teatific.d their respect for the venerable orator, by rising on his entrance. He was introduced to the audience by the President of the Lyceum, Abbot Lawrence, who made some appropriate remarks. Mr. Adams appeared in excellei.t health.. His lecture was a valuable political essay—in which the origin of.government, the nature of the family and the social compacts, the meaning of democra cy. &c., wore explained at some length. The in ference from his remarks, is at variance with the doctrines entertained by the champions of the pa filical rights of woman. lie: showed that man :was essentially a social being—that the nuptual union was the law of human society, and super seded in itself the law of social, and established the law of family government. He remarked that the compact of the Amazons, as recorded in anci ent history, was not social in its nature, or found ell on the rights of man! He showed, that man was by nature vested with the power and the right. to contract for, defend, and represent his wife and children, in all things rektiog to the social com pact, and the political rights of human beings.— There was much in this .lecture of ,a truly valua ble character—information,. which ought to be placed in a popular form before the community— and we hope that the GoVernment of the Lyceum will think it advisable to' publish , ' this essay in a pamphlet form that usefulness may be more generally diffused. DE WITT C. CLARKE, the fearless Whig Post-Master at Brandon, Vt„ lately received an official requisition from P. C.. Fuller, t'd Assist ant, as directed by the Post-Maiter General, com manding him to state whether he did or did not offer the following resolution in the last Whig state Convention, viz: Resoleed, 'Phat we bestowed but a timid con fidence upon John Tyler in the beginning, and that this confidence has marvelously decreased upon betwr acquaintance. That from his calam itous accession to the present time, his otlicisl course has been distinguished by inconsistency of conduct, instability of purpose, and imbecility of mind." Mr. Clark, in reply, courteously informed him that he was the very identical man, hut that a nother resolution of similar tenor, but couched in harsher language, he did not offer. Thereup on Mr. C. was turned out and a Loco Foco put in his place.—N. Y, Tribune. TEMPERANCE VI LLAtO li.—The Georgia Enqui rer states that there is a populous sildige net fifty miles from Columbus, to which not a drop of ar dent spirits is sold during the whole year, In the sale of lots at its first settlement ( 6 of years ago ) it was made a condition of mit., that the lot should revert to the original proprietors whenever a dram-shop or any such thing should be opened upon it. The viilage has been exempt from almost every description of immortality up to the present day—and there is no reason why it should not continue to the end of time. We are informed by a friend aho knows, that the same fact exists in reference to the village of Itutersville, in the Republic of Texas. No spirt.- out; liquors have everfie'en sold there since its settlement in 1837. Such spots as these are like the shadow of a great rock in a desert land—Ra leigh Star. A drunken but humorous loafer got into a black smith's shop yesterday while he was gone to din ner, and fell asleep on a large pile of old keys.— When the blicksuiiih returned he roused the fel low up. • Get out from here !' cried Vulcan. .1 don't know where I sin,' said the loafer. 1 ' • Well, find out quick,' added :Vulcan, •or I'll make you know.' The loafer gut up—rubbed his side—stared a round and finally stammered out, as he looked 'at his b•d on the keys. • Oh—oh—yes—l know now. Judging from that pile, I should think I was in St. Peter's -burg. but looking at you I should fancy the:devil had got 0. Bul. The following extract from the "Mississippian," a paper published in the State of Mississippi, should not be disregarded :, Tits Bsaxnuer LAW.—We learn that our members of Congress ,are of the opinion that the Bankrupt Law Will be repealed as soon as the bill can be hurried through at the meeting of Congress in• December. We have no doubt of the correct ness of their opinions. There will doubtless, how over, be a saving clause for all in Court. Persons intending to avail themselves of the benefit of the law, shouli file their petitions as soon as possible --at any rate before the meeting of Congress. Facirs or TUE Wino TARIEF.--Wagot , freights between Pi•toburg and Baltimore, the Pitts- burg Gazette says, have advanced, being now $1 per 100 pounds. From Baltiu.ore to Wheeling $1,25 per 100 pounds. Thus the revival of com merce benefits all classes—the teamster and the canal men, in common with the fanner and the mechanii. Give us the Whig measures, and the cheerful bum of industry would be beard through out the land. Some Virginia gentleman has an much confi dence in Mr. Clay's prospects for the Presidency, that he advertises to sell two blooded br rod mares and one colt, valued in ell at $3OOO fur one hun dred dollars in hand for each of them, and the bal ance payable when Henry Clay is President. In vile of Mr. Clay's death before the election, one half of the ownership of the colt and mares to re vert to their present proprietor. NTT Wir UNITED STITES WIIEJLT.—The bill imposing a duty of three shillings sterling per quarter, on wheat from the United States, passed the Canada House of Assembly, on the 4th inst., by a vote of 31 to 19. The bill goes into opera tion on' the sth of July next. We presume there is no &At of its paysage in the Legislative Coun cil. So 'says the New York Commercial of yes terday. DEPABTVRE OF Teoors.--The beid-rpiarters and siz companies of the second battalion Cold stream Guards embarked at Quebec, fur England, on the sth instant, on boird the troop-ship Calcut ta. Two companies of this battalion and two of the Grenadier Guards yet remain at Quebec, wait ing the arrival of the frigate Pique. The 7th Hussars are also waiting the arrival of transports. A MORT BIITDECISIVE REPLY TO MR. WEa• sTr.n.—Hasttr CLAY is the Whig candidate of Massachusetts, for the next .Presidency,--and so surely as he lives until the day of election, and Massachusetts exists, as a Commonwealth, to give her vote on that oceasioO, so surely he will receive her vote.—Boston Atlas: protest in the name of the people; by whose will I stand where I do.'--Mr, Tyler. It never was the will of the people, Mr. Acci dency, that you should stand where you do, un less it was the will of the people that Gen. Ham• 'son should die to make way for you.

PAPEU . IVlttsxy..—.A Western adventurer tel the following as his experience with paper m on , ey : Hold your horse, and if you want to he ar the greatest shaving story that you ever did hear, just keep cool. I never have, in all my life, had much money at any one time on band ; but a short time before the suspension of payments by the Miners' Bank of Dubuque, I had two hundred - dollars of her bills, and when I heard the newsuf her failure, I thought she would rise again, 'so I held on to the money. After a few. weeks I saW it was going to ruin, and I determined to get rid of it; so I took it to a broker's and exchanged it fur Cairo, at thirty per cent discount. This l looked on as paying pretty dear for a abase, but the next thing I heard seas, that the Cairo Bank had blown up, and off; ess to a broker instant- er, and off comes twentyetve per cent. more, and then you see I had the product of thy specula. tions in the State Bank of Illinois money. Next . thing away goes the State Bank, busted all to ,pieces, and hang me l if I didn't lose thirty per cent. more in obtaining Shawneetown money and thin II thought I was safe with what little money I had got, but alas! for all worldly sr- • fairs ! down goes the Shawneetown Bunk, refus ed to resume,' panic raised, and to prevent the bro kers from abasing me again, I went to a private individual and ,gave him all the Shawneetow n Money I had for twenty dollars in Ohio money, -and 6n offering to pass it, I was told that it way counterfeit ? And now, whether you believe it or not gentlemen, I tell you it is a fact, there is the whole remains of my . , two hundred dollars." It Upon this he produces two, ten dollar hillsion the Geauga Bank of Painesville, and exclaiming, Yes them two cursed connterfeit notes on the Bank of Geauga are the whole remainder my money speculations," he rushed around the e, r. er end up the street. The only thing tor which Mr. Webster Sites Jahn Tyler any'credit, is for wring the negott, lion of the treaty entirely to himself.

STAGNATION OF TIIE repeated chan ges of the atmosphere, by acting as they do upon the consistence and quality of the blood, give occaaion for the most fatal and malignant disorders. The blood from a state of health becomes stagnant and is plunged into a state of corruption. Thus it loses its purity: its circulation is impeded; the channels of life are clogged; 'the bowels become costive, and if not an immediate attack ()Tannic rrial;g. nant feer headache, nausea, loss of appetite, and a genera/ t ebility of the whole frame are sure to fol low. It requires the tempest and the tornado to bring about a stare of purity in the ocean, when its waters become stagnant; and it will require repeajed evacua tion by the stomach and bowels before the blood can be relieved of its acceimulatal impurity. FRANDRETiI'W VI GETABLE UNIVERSAL PI/ La should be taken, then there will be nodanger; because they purge from the stomach and bowels those hu mors which are the cause of stagnation. cleanse the blood from all impurities, remove every cauve of pain or weakness, & preserve in theeonstuution such a state of health and vigor that casual changes cannot effect.
