Messrs. W. &. B. Ives. Merchants, Ilfalem:— Gentlemen—For come years past I have adopted in my family. as a purgative, Dr. Wright's Indian Vege table Pills (for whom you are his agents in Salem) and have found that - medicine of great worth. Last November we were visited by a kind of inflam matory fever, (the same I presume which greatly af-. flirted our neighbors, the Brazilians, for nearly a year) the symptoms of which bad an analogy to the yellow lever, sod orally three hundred persons fell victim; to the epidemic (a great number for a Population as small as ours.) Our doctors named It the true yellow feiter, but their skill was Inefficient to stop Its progress. con fining their mode of treatment to the use of quinine, and the application of leeches, forbidding the use of purgaticeo, and of 1,411111 P all the soldiers and sailors, who were obliged to he seat to the Hospitals, ite also the Governor. several Macistrates, several officers, and in fact alt those who were reallyafflicted with the disease, fell victim, under their mode of treatment. ,A month previons,l had receivedthoe dozen boxes of Dr. Wright's Pulls, which I presume were bought at your store by Mesas. Goldsmith, Nesecbmb & Fattest, merchants in your city, and with whom I 3411 er , l9g bulinese. I had the opportunity to administer il.ese Pills to sevemlander tny tea, who were afflict ed with the same fever, and two doss', oe e i g h t Pills each completely cured them of the complaint. I then gave away nearly all my Pliis to some twenty nr thir ty persons. and all were relieved as it were by en chantment. I have. in contetinence, remitted to Messrs. Gold smith, Newcomb and Fatless, the sum of forty dollar for the purchase of that quantity of this medicine.an I bcg - of you to deliver the Pills as fresh as pnssCtir• I tegnest you also to desire Dr. Wright to have his direetionstranslatcd in French, whiz!: will tend great ly to circulate hit Pills not only here, but alto In the othercolonieswherethepopolation is more nnmeroue. Excuse me: gentlemen, in the liberty 1 have taken to address you this letter, tallith, for the sake of hu manity. I have been compelled to do, as I do not mean , to speculate on an article which proved salutary to a nu mber of poor people, and in fart moat of the popu lation is reduced to a state of indigence, and it would be sinful for any one to seek lucre in such a way.

(aucationat. IFOR THE MINERS" JOITNAL.I A STATE NORMAL SCHOOL THAT TAMAQUA LETTER. a MR. EDITOR: --Having in my last on "Norma; Schools" completed my original de sign, I am now at leisure to turn my atten tion to a part not appearing in the program me, but which I am not displeased to see thrust into the play. I refer to an article ap pearing in a late number of your Journal, and containing certain strictures pa one pre viously published under the heading " A State Normal School." The course pursued in that ride by its author is such, that in turning my attention to it, 1 cannot help thinking of Quinn's exclamationat his friend's odd choice of dishes at dinner, " I love to dine with such fools!" Commend me al ways to the antagOnist, who in the contro versy makes choice of Thar, which leaves me in undisturbed possession of the field of cour teous and, correct argumentation. Now. Sir; although it is a matter of some inconvenience, I am yet disposed to give the article in questions careful examination,and for this particular reason. There is in eve ry community a class of persons, who,while they possess but a shallow acquaintance with various important subjects, have neverthe less an unconquerable itch loemeddling with them in the way - of controversy. Now the good of the community and of' this class of individuals, also, sometimes .requires that such of them as can be comfortably caught, should be made examples of. This is then precisely what, at the present time, I am compelled to do with the specimen now in hand. To proceed to this business,l remark.first, that I have always supposed it necessary for an assailant to understand the position of his antagonist. Well, how is it with the author of the letter above referred to ? Does he un derstand the positions taken in the aritcle on " A State Normal School ?" Let us see ! Turn to his letter. How does lie begin ? By charging me with denouncing " the es tablishment of A State Normal School, as subversive," (the italics are my own) "of the cause of popular education." Subversive of the cause of popular education! This is news, truly. I did represent the establishment of such an institution, as likely to be productive of serious evils, but I nowhere urged that it would subvert or overthrow that cause in general. An establishment may produce cer tain evils, it may even be subversive of, or destructive to, certain parts of a system s without necessarily overthrowing the sysk tem as a whole. Well! what next? Why the writer in question, asserts that "the great objection of Mr. J. appears to be, that the establishment of such a school by the State, might be made a political machine," (the italics are mine) "and subservient to the interested designs of this or that party." This appears to be my great objection, does it ? No, Sir !it is some body else's great mistake. Under the first head in the article on a "State Normal School," I did urge, that the interference of personal or political interests, in the control of such a School, would prevent the institu tion being or continuing "an Institution of 4he first order." But I not even bring it forward as an objection, great" or small, that such , an institution would be made a po litical machine, actively subserviug the in terests of a party, - Now for another point. The writer of the article in question, in another place assumes that I am opposed to the education of teachers, with'reference to their peculiar calling, and proceeds accordingly to argue the case. He is certainly a benevolent disputant. He gives out arguments without occasion. I have no where objected to the education of the teach er; but I objected to the means proposed, a State Normal School. I simply said, "We have a multitude of higher schools nearer to him, ( the teacher) which, with proper sys tem, can benefit him more; besides offering these advantages to ten-fold the number ad mitted to a State School, and to the neglect or exclusion of none. So much, then, for his understanding of my position. If he understands his own as well, heaven help him !—it will he beyond the power of logic to save him. But we will now, in the second place, look into that mat er. In the first place, after having made, what for a person so fixed in opinion, and so pos itive in assertion, is a very strange, though, doubtless, a very proper confession of igno rance; he appeals to the N. Y. State Nor mal School as a proof of the position which he takes. Now, sir, I have not uttered a word against that institution as yet, so the assertion, in regard to its results, is volun teered. But when a matt thus volunteers a particular statement,with regard to a specified thing, he is presumed to - possess a definite knowledge as the ground of his assertion.—: And if aoybody is disposed to question his correctness, it is always competent for such to call' for the facts. I call for the facts.— What is your " reliable authority ?" What are' the actual " results," Of which you speak? When the authority is given, we shall be able to judge whether it is worth more than the mere statement of one ;who confessedly knows nothing on the subject 1 but what he has heard and read." And when the resultsare given, we shall better understand whether the institution in ques tion -has been 'saved from proving a sheer failure by the influence of its results, or by the mere might of its annual appropriation. Give us these, then. 'We want the " relia ble authority." We want.' the actual re sults.". - We want to hear and read what the gentleman has heard and read !" But the gentleman turns from what might be—which, it appears, requires too much /oohing ahead lot hie taste—to ‘ 4 .wbat hw r", v •.4 JOURNAL, GENERM, ADVERTISE& been," and appeals to the Military Academy at West Point. as affording facts in his lavor. He says: All the objections urged by Mr. I. against a State Nornial School, might, with equal propriety, have been urged against the above institution." Here, then, we have rl l according to this, a complete analogy—West Pt. Acadernyand an S. N. School right abrea and going ,it neck and neck—it the ,form er effects its object, so must the latter. To which I reply. No, Sir ! The analogy will not hold. West Point does not eductte men to mingle with, and mould the masses, and especially the young: But a State Normal School must . do this very thing, and nothing else. West 'Point can hold its pupils under a military discipline. This your . Normal School cannot do. West Point introduces its pupils into a profession which has always been popular. The Normal School leads ;hem into a business not yet able to be a pro fession. West Point opens the door to advan tageous posts under the national government. The Normal School can offerno such induce ments. Very like these two institutions are, and a fine ground the analogy! gives for the gentleman's various inferences. But I will carry the analogy one step farther, and then the gentleman shall be welcome to all he can get out of West Point. West Point originates, confessedly, one of the most un bending aristocracies in the nation ; and just so far as your State Normal School, as a inardeged institution can go, it will produce an aristocracy likewise. But this West Point argument was so happy a thing, that the geutletnan must needs carry his advantage farther . " Indeed," he rays, with a sublime sweep of assertion, " the most of his (Mr. J.'s) objections are as applicable to all institutions of learning, aye, to the Common School System, (the italics are nine,) as to the one in question." Yes, it must be so—there is such a marvellous similarity between the system of a State Normal School and the Common School Sys tem ! The Normal School is under exclu sive government control and patronage.— The Common Schools are not, and cannot be. The former is a single centralizing es tablishment; the latter are diametrically op posite. The Normal School is a special af fair ; the Common School is general in its whole character. The former is removed as far as it can be from the mass; the lat. . _ ter brought as near the mass as possible.— The Normal School confers certain high benefits only on a privileged few; the Com mon School scatters as great advantages as are practicable, hroad-cast over the whole. Really, the two ale " as like as two peas !1' and the gentleman's sagacity in discovering the likeness, must fall little short of that of the courtier in Hamlet. The simple truth, however, is, not one single objection urged by me against a State Normal School - is in the least degree applicable to the Common School, as any intellect, not thoroughly stultified. 'cannot fail to perceive. Without specifying other instances, such is a fair sample of the aldsurdity of the-po sitions taken by the gentleman in behalf of his own side of the question. Evidently, he is as much at fault in defending his own views, as he was in representing mine ; un derstanding, in fact, nothing of the work so promptly and confidently undertaken by him. Such an antagonist needs to be dealt with " more in sorrow than in anger," so that stopping short of my firstintention, I shall for, the . present spare him the remainder of what is, justly his due, and remain Yours` &c. FREDERICK S. JEWELL. NOTE.—The word " suppress," in nrtiele "A Slate Normal School," under the 2d head, in the sentence ‘• An agent powerful to suppress existing 'wade miesrshoulil hate been printed " deprem,' which is the original rind correct rending. THE GIRL THAT NEVER TOLD A LIE Obbities. A little girl once came into the house and told her mother something which was very improbable. Those who were sitting in the room with het mother did not believe her, fur they did not know the character of the little girl. But the mother replied at once— " I have no doubt but that it is ITire7lor 1 never knew my (laughter to tell a lie." Is there not something' noble in having . such a character as this? Must not the little girl have felt happy in the consciousness of pos sessing her mother's entireconfidence how different must have been her feelings from 'those of the child whose word cannot be believed, and who is re g arded by every one with suspicion ! Shambame on the child who has not magnanimity enough to tell the truth. TEA BEST IN TILE EVENING Tea, as the morning beverage, when break fast forms a good substantial breakfitst, upon which the powers for the day of meet ing thevarious chances and changes of life depend, provided it be not too strong, is much to be recommended; but when individuals eat little, coffee certainly supports them in a more decided manner: and, besides this, tea, without a certain quantity of solid aliment, is much more likely to Influence the nervous system. Some persons, if they drink tea in the morning and co&e at night, suffer much in the animal spirits and in the power of en joyment of the pleasures of society ; but if they reverse the system, and take coffee in the morning and tea at night, they reap be nefit from the change: for the coffee, which to them in the morning is nutritious,becomes a stimulus at night ; and the tea, which acts as a diluent at night, gives nothing for sup port during the day.—Dr. Stgmond on Tea. INTERMARRIAGE OF BLOOD RELATIONS. --Hear what the editor of the Fredericks burgh News says about the matter:—“ln the county in which we were raised, for twen ty generations back, a certain family of wealth and respectability have intertnarried, until there cannot be found in three of them a sound man or woman; One has sore c eyes, another scrofula, a third is idiotic, a lourtt blind, a fifth bandy-legged, a sixth with a head about the size of a turnip, with not one out of the number exempt from physi cal or 'menial defects of some kind. Yet this family perseveres to-intermarry with each other with these living monuments constantly before them." og-, INV:VERITY OF sarcastic remark,Burns was perhaps unrivalled. In a• tavern one evening, the conversation turning on the death of a friend, one of the company ob served that he meant to attend a funeral, re questing at the same time that Mr. Burns would accommodate him with the loa'n of a blacklcoat, his tieing 'out of repair. "As I am invited, answered the poet, " to the, same funeral, I cannot lend you my coat, but I can suggest a substitute." " What is that ?" asked the other. " Throw your character over your shoulders," said Burns, and that will prove the blackest coat you ever wore in . your lifetime." (1:7 ALEXANDER AND Tits Bootts.—Alexan der the.

SCOTT IS not GUT choice, but are we, therefore, to stand by in silence, and suffer our common political , enemies to blacken, with impunity, his honorable name? God forbid! Ile has bravely, brilliantly fought the battles of his country, and is en titled to some justice. His life has been one of patriotism and valor, devoted to his corm try's glory, and it is grossly ungrateful to re fuse to lift a huger in defence, when a thou sand engines of detraction are playing their muddy waters in TOrrents upon his hoary head. Ile stands this day the greatest liv ing military captain of the age—his renown has fixed the gaze of the world, as upon the ascent of some brilliant planet in the hea vens—his conquest of Mexico has eclipsed the dazzling splendor of that of Cortez—his skilful combinations have shed new and un looked for glory upon the heretofore unsur passed renown of American arms. And are we to suffer such a chief to be literally stung to death by political vipers, crawling all over the ground of politics, and worming their poisonous folds into the body politic ? Friends of the Whig principles, do pot put trust in the fables of your enemies, intended to distract and divide you. Rest assured the National Convention of the Whig party will nominate no man for the Presidency or Vice Presidency who is not sound upon the question of sustaining the Compromise mea sures inviolate as a final settlement. And rest assured that there is every reason to hope that, by the time the Convention meets, Mr. Fluotorin will be palpably the strongest man before that body. The South owes it to her own best future interests to express a proper appreciation of the rectitude of action of that great man, and she-will do it. Con servative men in the North will not fail to act with us in the day of trial._" All's well that ends well :" let Democratic prints prate on, hut-heed them not. They cannot even guess wfio.their own party will nominate, or what platform they will adopt ! Miserable exponents of public opinion they are, pre tending to tell better than Whigs what Whigs will do, when they cannot even conjecture what flag they themselves will be marshalled under !" ITS OPERATION. Many periOns, disaffected towards the pre sent Temperance movement in this State, pretend to doubt the efficacy of the Liquor Law in D9aine. The Mayor of Bangor., E. L.

The Overseers of the Poor re mark in their report' as follows We can not withhold our - convictions that the even partial enforcement of the Liquor Law has had a marked effect upon this department, and its more vigorous enforcement will grad ually 'reduce the bulk of pauperism, as it has already redus.ed that of crime in - the city.' The City Aarshall remarks that the city has been freer of crime and disturbance du ring the last year than any year before since lie has been connected with the Police De partment. Ile reports the whole number of prosecu tions for the eight mouths prior to July 1, to be 101. For the eight months subsequent to July 1, 58, making a difference of 53.

Soon after he saw another disappear at the same point ; his curiosity was arous ed ; he commenced digging, and dug out of a space four and a hall feet in diameter, and one and a halt feet in depth, 211 snakes, ranging from four to fifteen inches in length, and embracing all the different species com mon to the vicinity, except the rattlesnake.

He recommends that the matured bonds, and such as may fall due during the year, be cancelled by the negotiation of a loan, and that bonds of the_ Commonwealth be issued, reimbursable at the expiration of ten or fifteen years, at a rate of interest not exceeding five per cent., with interest certificates attached, or in the usual form as may be deemed proper. 17 WOOL GATIIERTIM—That this is be coming great wool-growing and wool-con• suming country may be seen in the fact that the wool produced 'in the United States in ..1850, according to the census returns, amounted' to 52,422,797 lbs.: the quantity manufactured was 70,362,829 lbs., conse quently; over 13,000,000 lbs. had to be im ported. 1 3:7 CLAIIitSI3F LA.FAYETT 7 3 HlES.—The ' heirs of Gem Lafayette have brought suit to recover' several - hundred acres of land, hav ing a front of 600 yards heyond the old fortifi cations: at New Orleans.

A trial for murder took place lately in Aus tria, in, which the prisoner, Anna Alexander, was acquitted by the jury, who, in the ques tions put to the witnesse., in order to 4iscer lain whether the murdered man, Lieutenant Mathew Wurzel, was a poison-eater or not, educed some curious evidence relating to this class of persons. As it is not generally known that eating poison is actually practiced in more countries than one, the following . ac. count of the custom, given by a p ystman, Dr. T.,von Tshudi, will not be without in. tetest. In some districts of Lower Austria and in Styria,' especially in those mountainous parts bordering on Hungary, there plefails the habit, of eating arsfnic. The peasantry in particular are given! to it. They obtain it under the name cif hedri froni the travelling hucksters and gatherers of herbs, who, on their side, get it, from the glass.blowers, or .urchase it from the cow-doctors, quacks or WHIG PRINCIPLES. Itttrious dustoni. mountebanks. The poison-eaters have a two-told aim in their dangerous enjoyment ; one to obtain a fresh, healthy appearance, . . .. and acquire a certain degree of embonpoint:— The number of deaths in consequence of the immoderate enjoyment of arsenic, is, not in considerable, especially among the young.— Every priest who has the cure of souls in those districts where the abuse prevails,could tell of such tragedies ; and the inquiries made by Dr, Tshudi on the _subject have opened , out very singular details. The second object .. the poison-eaters have in view, is to make them, as they express it, " better winded !" :,;•-,.4. —that is, to make their respiration easier ~;:, i ' when ascending the mountains. Whenever •t-"IF:e„ they have far to go, and to mount a consider- ;s': able height, they take a morsel of arsenic, :-;•, , 1 4 - and allow it gradually to dissolve. The effect '-:;' , e , is surprising; and they ascend with ease ;•'.''„,': heights which otherwise they could climb ;. 1, . - i',:-.: only with effort. The dose of arsenic with '',4 ,- "` ; ' - ; •', 1 ,. which the poison -caters begin, consists, ac- cording to the confession of some of them, q7'k of a piece of the size di a lentil, which in • . 'rtt weight would he rather less than half a 'f1,341, grain. To this quantity, which they take ek-,:':',', fasting several mornings in the week, they t.o ' .." confirm themselves for a considerable time; -. , 41.-1 - :, and then gradually, and very carefully, in- . .,;•:4‘,. crease the dose according - to the effect pro- , 4 t -OF:, duced. ' A strong, hale man, upwards of ',:t sixty; takes at present at a dose a piece about r • '''' the weight of four grains. For more than forty c •rr years he has practised this habit, which he n 2 , 1.1 inherited from his father, and which he in ii . .,1i his turn , will bequeath to his children. It is ';','-'•':- well to observe, that neither in these nor in .1.1:V other poison-eaters , is there the least trace of ~ :11-1:, an arsenic cachexy . discernable; that the l',.er,i, symptoms of a chronic arsenical poison ne- !,,:!::;', ver show themselves in (individuals who l';' ; ;: Adapt. the dose to their constitution, even al- .y.o r though that dose should' be considerable. .-"4: It is not less worthy 'of remark, however, •.),o,:' that when, either from inability to obtain the ;:7,. ; ,';' -- acid,! or from any other cause, the perilous ,l'Afe indulgence is stopped, symptoms of illness are sure to appear, which have the closest ,';',..- resemblance to those produced by poisoning ,-,,,,,;' from arsenic. These symptoms consist prin. '`w ;t;; cipally in a feeling of general discomfort,-at- •,!,i; tended by a perfect indifferenc.e to all sur- - 4 - !dil rounding persons and things, great personal -•',.;',;.' anxiety, and various distressing sensations •2'a.`% arising from the digestive organs, want of :vitt appetite, a constant feeling- of the stomach :.i'' . .,k. being overloaded at early morning, an emu. -.`e,„ - sual. degree of salivation, a burning from the •;T:..;'.i pylorus to the throat, a cramp-like move- ~.f,'!- -. ; meat in the pharynx, pains in the stomach, Irri: and especially difficulty .of breathing. For ivt,; ` -- all these symptoms there is but one remedy ii ,- ,V, ; ' —a return to the enjoyment of arsenic.— i..- ; According to inquiries made on the subject, 6 r.,': it would seem that the-habit of eating poi- son among the inhabitants of Lower Austria. 't,'- - M has: not grown into a passion, as is the case rifti. with opium-eaters in the East, the chewers '23:.2 ,. :t, of the betelnut in India and Polynesia, and ,•,-, of the cocoa-tree among the natives of Peru. ', , c - q-4 When once commenced, however, it becomes 1,0;„ a necessity. In some districts sublimate of'tl' quicksilver is used in the same way. One s ;:rk: case in particular is mentioned by Dr. Von ;;P; Tshudi, a case authenticated by the English ',.!1:::; ambassador at Constantinople, of a greaOt: opium-eater at Brussa, who daily consumed the enormous quantity of forty grains oft`;4l corrosive sublimate with his opium. In the=',l, mountainous parts of Peru the doctor met '` tV very frequently with eaters of corrosive subli-, lintate : and in Bolivia the practice is stillr4-> more frequent, where this poison is openly. 4 sold in the market to the Indians. i In 1714 c enna the use of arsenic is of every liay 0c45-:-.1 currence among horse dealers, and i peciil-I .
