The Case of William E., Lehm an.
The action, yesterday, of the return judges
for the city of Philadelphia, in the case of
WILLIAM E. LITMAN, claiming to be the Re
presentative elect from the First Congressional
district, will be regarded. with general sur
prise. So much anxiety had been manifested
by independent men of every party, including
thousands of Republicans in all parts of the
Mato, that the only Democratic candidate in
Pennsylvania identified with the great strug
gle against the corruptions and treacheries of
the Administration of Mr. livonANAm, should
be returned to the new Congress, that the
decision of the return judges, under the cir
cumstances of the case, will be looked
upon with much suspicion. Mr. LETIMAN'I3
card, in another column, manly and straight
forward as nit], explains the course he intends
to take, and the oath and divelopments which
led to the arrest of the return judge from the
Fourth ward, who presented a fabricated gene
ral return, show conclusively that the judges
acted without proper deliberation. It was
easy to have verified this general return, by
reference to the official returns now on file in
the Prothonotary's office of the Court of Com
mon Pleas, which remain unaltered, and which.;
according to the official result, give a majority
of 182 to Mr. LamsAN. Tho Republican
party have just achieved a magnificent triumph,
and in the joy with which they, hail this tri
umph they have the sympathy of thousands
of honest Democrats. They cannot afford to
stain their victory with fraud. They cannot
afford to assist in striking down, by the basest
agents, the men wha have stood in the fore
front in opposition to Mr. BUOTTAITAII and his
Administiation; and to whom, in a large de
gree, they are indebted for the result over
which they are, now exulting. We think the
return judges, in view of all the facts of the
case, should immediately be reconvened, and
should revise their action and give the certifi
cate to• the duly-elected Representative from
the First Congressional district.
Cheap Gas for Philadelphia.
By reference to our local C01111:111U3 It will be
seen that an 'open conflict has at last taken
place between the' Trustees of the City Gas
Works and the parties interested in the SAN
DERS process for making illuminating Water
Gas, and that our legal tribunals have been
invoked in order to arrest what seems to us to
have been a most high-handed proceeding on
the part of the employees of the trustees.
Having no interest, direct or indirect, except
that which concerns the general public, we
have no hesitation in expressing the opinion,
that if the parties engaged in the manufactory
'of a cheaper gas shall succeed in their efforts,
they will, confer an incalculable benefit, not
only upon this community, but upon all others
who have suffered under the extortionate
charges of those who now control the various
gas companies and gas monopolies. The
obstacles thrown 'in the way of the highly
respectable citizens who have invested their
money for the purpose of introducing and
testing the water gas, under the patent of
Professor J. 3fILTON SANDERS, by Professor
Culiisiew, the executive officer of the City Gas
Works,—illustrated in the conduct of his
agents at the Girard House, yesterday morn
ing—only prove that they hair° no desire to
supply the city, with a cheaper article than
that they manufacture. The water gas may
turn out to be a failure ; but it is enough for us
to know that, np to this period of time, the
experiment at the Girard House has esta
blished its cheapness, and its superiority in
other respects; and, when we consider the
high rates charged to consumers of gas in
this city, and the Irregularity of those rates,:
it becomes all independent journalists to do
everything' In' their power,: to encourage an'
enterprise which, should itsucceed, will con;
ter a great blessing upon our people.
The Management of the Gubernatorial
Campaign.
'On the part of the Democratic State Cen
tral Committee, presided over by Mr. Watsrt,
from the opening of the Gubernatorial can
:vass until its close, there was a constant dis
play of inefficiency, imbecility, and stupid.
blundering. Nearly everything calculated to
promote General Fetal:it's election was left
undone, and nearly everything which the
committee could possibly do to secure his do,
feat was faithfully attended to. It was origi-,
sally so constituted that the Administration
could rely with certainty upon preserving a
controlling influence over its action, and while
a few faithful and active Democrats were
placed upon it, a large proportion of its mem
. bets neither deserved nor possessed the confi
denCe of the party they were selected to re
present in a great political contest. Not to
speak of other shortcomings the damaging
'effects of their fusion projects and of their
studied attempts to bolster up the cause of
SasoUnrsmax cannot be overestimatefl.
The cciiiiitt* of the People's party, under
the energetic management of lion. A. K.
MOCr.uax, preieded a striking contrast to
their antagonistic organization. Entering into
a canvass which, to many Republicans, must
have nppeared almost a hopeless one, in view
of the defection of the , Bell mon, and the
general desire among all ranks of the Demo
cracy to extend a cordial support to Femme,
not a legitimate expedient was left untried,
and' every fair methOd of attracting popular
support , to CURTIN and LIROOLN was freely re
sorted to. A series of monster meetings were
held. The services of the best orators of the
State and of, he country were secured. 4 , a
Mu/tense 'number of documents were distri
buted. Every township was thoroughly can
vassed, and every district completely orga
nized. In all this Work, Colonel McCLuau
has performed a most important part;
and, while we have, no right and no dis
position to interfere with the distribution of
any honors or rewards which may result from
the Republican triumph, common justice de
-mends that so faithful and effective a political
soldier should be properly rewarded by those
whom he has served.
Pubhe A.mnsements.
. There will be three matinees to-day—at Arch
street Theatre, at the Continental Theatre, and at
Consort Hall, where Mr. Anderson, the great
Wisard, is doing wondrous conjurations. Ile gives
presents to his juvenile visitors to-day. At Aroh-
Street Theatre, they are playing a remarkably
strong bill, consisting of " The Ladles' Battle,"
and Sterling Coyne new play, " The Merchant
and his Clarke." The former is a new adaptation
and translation of a French play, which is no
stranger to our stage. Mrs. Duffield brought out
something excessively like it, for her Benefit, at
the other theatre, a season or two ago. Neither is
this version well written. But the situations are
very good, and the acting is admirable. Mrs.
John Drew plays a French Countess to the life,
and Mies Emma Taylor; though rather man
nered and jerky in her utterance, makes a
very nits stage young lady. Mr. Clarke has
an excessively fanny part, which suits him ex
actly, and brings out his condo powers. But the
bestaoted character in this piece is Henri de Fla
vignind, a French gentleman disguised as a groom.
Mr. Wheatley throws grace, forte, and spirit into
what, in less skilful and lest aooompliehed hands,
would be a weak role. All through his disguise the
gentleman peeps out—not plainly , but in an lavelan
fairy manner, as it were: just as, in life itself, it
would be impossible wholly for a gentleman to forget
himielf, no matter how dressed, into a servant's
manner. Mr. Wheatley plays very well Indeed, this
sea/son. has few equals to him now. Mr. Lew
is Baker, who was so amusing In " The Election,"
has a character in this play, with which he does as
little se possible. Sterling Boyme's new play
" The Merchant and his Clarke " seems to have
been suggested by Hogsrth's plates of "
Indus
try-and Idleness," representing the career of
Attila and vies, la the persons of two apprentices.
flare; however, °illy the ides is taken, not the ap
prentioes. In this, too, there is good acting—but
not anything to dwell upon except a low comedy
part of's lodging-110We keeper, admirably played
by Miss Mary Welli. Her perform/woe In this
part is capital indeed—so thoroughly provoontise
of laughter. She was dressed and " made up "in
a very artistica manner. These two plays ought
to run another weak at the Arch, and we strongly
recommend our play-going readers to see theni.
About Walnut-street Theatre we have no
thing to say, except that Mr. and Mrs. Barney
Williams are playing their old please there to very
good houses. We hear of a new piece which they
bring out next week, and which we shall make a
point of seeing. • '

'MIL BYRUM' ARRRSTRD FOR FORGERY
It will be found in our report of the Return
Judges' meeting yesterday morning, that some dis
crepancy was found between the judges' returns, as
handed to this president, and a list belonging to Mr.
Lehman; Demooratio oandidato for Congresi in
the First district.
Mr. Lehman took the ease before Recorder Butt ;
a warrant was issued for William Byerly, the .re
turn judge, and. be was arrested on the charge of
forgery. It 'seems that the report of the ,ward
judges was banded to Byerly,' for cafe keeping, - on
the night of the election. The report he handed
to the presidebt of the meeting of judges yester
day, was net, it is alleged, the true ward report. -
If such be the ease, the returned , paper must
have been forged. The true paper,,it is said, elects
Lehman by 147 majority; the forged paper. cleats
Butler by 200 majority.
Byerly, it may be suggested, moved, in the early
part of the judges' meeting, to expel all persons
not judges and reporters from the'reetn. Some of
Mr. Lobman's friends were then present. Byerly
was held in $6OO ball to answer before Alderman
this morning. The friends of Mr. Lehman
are confident that a gross fraud has been com
mitted upon him.
A largo number of persons were in attendance at
the hearing, in the afternoon. The affair had beet'
ventilated, with display heads, in the aft+irnoon
papers, and the magistrate's dock was crowded
with curious hearers. Many of the latter were
oitliens of note, whom the well-known respecta
bility of the prinolpale in the affair had summoned.
CARD FROM WM. E. LEHMAN.
rHILADELPIIIA, Oct. 12, len
To the Public : On the Oth of Octo.er, I was elected,
by a majority of one hundred and thirty-two, to repre
sent the First District of Penns, lvama in Congress.
On the morning succeeding the election. I attended at
the Prothonotary's office of the Court of Common Pleas,
and carefully copied off the votes Oulu the omcial re

The return pukes met thin morning at the Bepreme
Court Room, for the purpose of Bumming up the general
returna and giving to the 13110138851111 candidates certifi
cates of their election. I was repeatedly warned that a
fraud would be perpetrated. and I hat I would be oheated
out fof my election ; but I wholly disoredited she
statement, and relied upon the official returns. and the
security which I supposed I had rot he solemn oaths of
the j edges, which they had severally taken when they
assumed the duties of their office. Judge of my amaze
ment, when the general return of the F ourth ward was
read off by the President of the Board of Return Judge,.
Mr. Morris B. Parker, to find that two hundred had been
subtracted from my vote, and one hundred ad
ded to Mr. Butler's. I immediately rose and gall+
ed the attention of the President to tine discrepancy
between the returns as reed oil and the official
returns as fi ed in the proper office. and protested against
the reception of , nue intotrect return. I was denied a.
hearing. and finally, by a motion, excluded from the
room. Smog then, I have aecertained that the Aficial
result remains unaltered, and that I am elected be a
majority of one hundred and thirty.tvro votes, and that
the return as read by the President of the Board of He
turn Judges wean forgery. The duplicate of the MA re
turn has been produced and sworn to. The whole paper,
as produced to the Board, return and signatures, is a
fabrication. By a bold, open, and audeotous cheat, I
have been defrauded out of my certificate of election.
She pelvis of the ci.tizens of the First Congrestiodal ,
District have been trainee:ad upon.
These statements have been verified under oath, and
I have presented the proper information to l•istropt
Attorney Wm. B. Mann. that he may take inuntenate
steps to ferret out this fraud, and bring the guilty par—
ties to Justice.

Shooting Affair in Walnut Street
The Proprietor of the Girardßeuss 3Uaten—He
Fires at Mr, James G. Edwards
An affray of a serious character occurred yes
terday morning, on Walnut street, above Tbire'
between parties well known to prominent circles
in Philadelphia. The affair caused groat excite
ment upon Chestnut street, at the hotels, and h ill
quarters of the central oily Tho parties' in this
rencontre were Messrs G. G. Presbury, lessee of
the Girard House, and. Jas. G. •Edwards, brother
of the owner.
A difficulty of long standing had been publicly
noted between the Messrs. Edwards relative to
the ownership of-tho Girard Rouse. The bro
thers Edwards, we believe, have contested for
some time tho validity of each other's claim, and
Mr. Presbury has been a witness in the suit. Tim
latter bee been at variance for some time with Mr.
James Edwards, from whom he holds his lease.
George Edwards and Presbury have also had a
misunderstanding, but lately tho difficulty has been,
to appearances, settled. Mr. Presbury, it is-al
leged, gave vent some time ago to violent dentin
(stations of Mr. George Edwards, eaying, among
other things, that he was a great rascal. James
Edwards, to whom the language was used, repeated
it to Augustus Edwards. The latter was walking
down Walnut street yesterday morning at ton
o'clock, when he met Preebury and George Ed
wards together. Augustus Edwards paused upon
the sidewalk after passing them, and as they mime
up to him be said to Presbury:
"Inasmuch as you consider Geo. Edwards a
scoundrel, I am surprised to aeo you walking
with him."
Presbury denied the affirmation with an oath,
and when it was repeated, stilt strenuously denied
it. Ho has sines affirmed, we believe, that he film
called Augustus a liar.
Mr. Edwards then asked him to go to the office
of Mr. James Edwards, and see that tho truth hoe
been spoken. This Mr. P declined to do, but said
that he could be found at any time at the Girard
House or on the street, and that he would tell Mr.
James Edwards that he was a liar, if ho accused
him of making any such remark abontlis brother
George.
Mr P. then went into the office of the Messrs
Howard (whioh is in the second story), and while
there Mr. A. Edwards °sine up and told him that
his brother teas below and wished to see him. Mr.
P. answered that he would be down directly, and
shortly after descended, anticipating an attack,
and at the door encountered the three Messrs. Ed
wards, " armed with canes," all of whom advanced
towards him. He was then asked by Mr. James
Edwards if ho had not said that Mr. George W.
Edwards was a d—d rascal. Ho replied that he
bad not. Mr. James Edwards then called him a
d—d liar. Ile answered that he (James Edwards)
was a contemptible puppy, whereupon he was
struck in the face by Mr. James Edwards.
Presbury drew a pistol loaded with percussion
oaf tridges, and discharged two barrels. The first
shot passed between James B Edwards' arm and
body, not injuring him. The second shot struck
the boot of John Sharer, the advertisement, agent
of the Sunday Di.Tatch, entering the leather, but
not inflicting any wound. The two mon got Mr.
Presbury down on a coal-heap, and pummelled
him pretty severely, one of them getting the pistol

WATER -GAS CONFLICT.—The Vicinity of

establishment and of the City Gas Trust, arising

House have been for several years among the
largest private consumers of gas in oar city. Pub
lie-spirited gentlemen as they are, they were wil-
Hog to afford Sanders' water-gas a fair trial, and,
havin" witnessed a satisfactory exhibition of it at
the Market-street works, they undertook the eon-
works s%ruction of small water-gee on their own
premises,' not for a moment dreaming that the
same liberal spirit of accommodation which nre
veils la the private gee companies of New York
would be found wanting in the publio trust of
Philadelphia. Some limo in tho Spring, the gas
fitter employed by Messrs. Prefatory, dykes, & C o.
applied for the usual permit from the gas office to
make the requisite connections with the pipes of
the house. The permission was granted only upon
condition of thoimmediate withdrawal of the city
metres. The effect of ouch' withdrawal (It was
well known and desired by the gas oboe), would
be to bring about a partial or entire darkness in
the establishment,' temporarily, whenever a re
newal or repair of any portion of the water-gas
pparatua might become necessary. Such dark
ness would afford the opportunity, ardently desired
by some, to disparage the water-gas in popular
estimation, and perhaps to disgust the parties who
bad countenanced an innovation that might de
stroy the coal.gao monopoly.
A compromise was, however, agreed upon between
Messrs. Presbury, Sykes, it o , and Prof. Cresson,
to the effect that If certain atop rooks were placed
upon the metre outlets, the keys of the looks upon
rush stop-cooks might remain io the custody of the
proprietors. Considerable expense wee incurred
by the proprietors in fulfilling tho atipulations
made by Prof. erosion, which were no sooner no
oomplished, than Prof Cresson took away the
keys. Nothwithsanding an exact observance of the
tonne of tho arrangemetA, the opposition to the
manufacture of gas at the hotel from the gas
office bee continued and manifested itself in vari
ous shapes, until day before yesterdly two of the
city metres were clandestinely removed, and the
withdrawal of the rest threatened. No reason!
stranoes or representations of the proprietors were
Heeded, but yesterday morning the attempt was
made to remove the remaining metres. Messrs.
Proehury, Sykes, do Co resisted - , as men who knew
their own rights and motives would do, whereupon
the employees of the gas trust essayed a little
" sharp practice," by sending a posse of laborers
to dig up the gas-pipes In Chestnut street and oat
off the flow of city gas from the street mains. At
this point, however, Judge Thompson arrested their
high-banded and oppressive proceedings with an in
junction, to which submission was made very reluct
antly with muttered threats and angry scowls. The
crowd of bystanders who had witnessed the pro
gress of the conflict, and whose sympathies with
the water-gas party had been 'evoked and Ox•
pressed, left the scene well pleased, with the assu
rance that there is some recognition by our legal
tribunals of individual rights in this matter of the
supply of light to a community that has been too
long kept in the dark.
TIM RACES AT P011;fT BREHM/ PARK.—
Tun SECOND BEST Tine ox RECOED—FANNIE
WADDINGTON WINE Two RACE -There Wes a bra.
liant assemblage of ladies and gentlenien at Point
Breeze park yesterday, to witness the groat four
mile running race, and other races which were
announced to come off. Beck'e Band was in at
tendance, and added greatly to the interest of .the
occasion, by performing many choice operatic
airs.
The great event of the day was the foor•milo
running race, which has not been witnessed in this
city for many years. The races which have taken
place have been trotting matches, which do not
develop the highest degree of speed which the
horse is capable of. In the running races, the
horses gallop or leap forward at the top of their
speed, and the sight is a vary exciting one, oven to
those who care little for the sports of the turf. It
is in contemplation to commence training heroes
this fall at the Park, for running races next seimon,
when it is expected that Philadelphia will be able
to turn out come stook capable of competing with
horses brought from other States
For the four-mile yesterday, Mr. Doswell enter
ed sorrel filloy, Fannie Washington, and Mr. Mor
ris entered gray gelding, Throgsnook. The race
was under the saddle, the best two In three.
The horses made a good start, the; gray having
the inside. At the first quarter the horse led a
length, but before reaching the half mile, Fannie
dashed forward and nearly closed up the gap be•
tween them They ran close together till coming
down the home stretch, when the gray gained
some distance. and passed the score one length
ahead. Time;l 50. On going round the second
mile, Fannie caught up and passed the gray on the
last half mile, and, taking the inside track, same in
11 lengths ahead. Time 3 44. This position was
maintained nearly the whole of the third mile, till
coming down the home stretch, when Fannie gained
rapidly on the gray, and passed the stand four
lengths ahead. Time, 5 421. The horse was now
withdrawn, but Fannie continued round on the
fourth mile, decreasing her pace somewhat, and
reached the score in good condition, winning the
heat and the race in 7 39i.
The purse was $1,500. The time was the second
best ever made in the country, being next to that
made by Planet on the Long Island course.
The next rate was for a single mile and repeat,
for $5OO, under saddle, the horses running as be
fore. For this race Mr. Bush entered bay alley
Cyclone, three years old; Mr. Furyear entered
chestnut Alley ROB 6 Bonheur, three years old ;'Mr.
Doswell entered gray mars !roma; Mr. an Osten
entered brown gelding Montagne, four years old ;
and Mr Forepaugh entered roan horse Bacobue,
four years old.
Out of this field, only throe, Cyclone, Rosa Bon
hour, and Irona, were brought forward for the
content. The first heat woe won by Cyclone in
1 511. The second and third heAts, and the race,
were won by Rene Bonheur. Time—lir' et heat,
1 511 ; second, 1 45; third, 1433. The position
of the horses on reaching the score at the and of
each heat was as follows: Cyclone; 1.3 3 ; Rona
Bonheur, 3.1-1 ; Irons, 2-2.2.
ETABRING AFFAIR.—last, evening, a man
named ADIOSHMO, 45 years of, age, wee ad
mitted Into the Roomful, suffering from three stabs
in the loft side, inflicted by a fellow•4orkman,
named John Broffy. The two worked at ' Greble's
stone yard, Chestnut street, near Seventeenth. On
their way home together, when, near Nineteenth
and William streets; they got into a quarrel, when
Broffy, it is alleged, struck Williams two or three
times and afterwards stabbed him. The condition
of Williams was considered somewhat critical by
the physicians at the Hospital. Williams has a
r fe and three children. Broffy wee arrested and
to answer the obarge.
.aItENADEI TO JOON M. BumMt.—lnEt
.ning, at ten o'clock, the Invincibles, together
with the Campaign Club of the First ward,
accompanied by the Pennsylvania Cornet Band,
serenaded John M. Butler, Srq., at his residence,
Tenth and Fitzwater streets. Mr. Butler made
a very brief speech, returning thanks for the com
pliment. He was followed by Wm. B. Thomas,
Wm. Moran, and Geo: Inman Riche. A number
of policemen were on the ground, but no disturb
ance took place.
A WARNING TO BOYS.—CII Thursday af

empty freight oar, near the falls of Schuylkill, in
the enures of which one of them named William
Rico, seven years old, fell from the oar, or struck
it in some way, mutilating his left eye and break•
log hla left arm. The little sufferer was taken to

LEGAL INT ELI .IGE oar.
UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT—Judge
Grier.—Crist, Jay, and MM. vs Jas. B. Baker,
Collector of Customs. Before reported.
Yesterday the point raised by the Government,
that the jury wore to decide the ease by determin
ing what was known as blankets in 1846, the sobs•
dulo of that aoc being adopted in the aot of 1857,
was passed upon by Judge Grier.
Mr. Wharton was about calling witnesses to show,
among other things, that goods of the oharaoter of
the sample In court were not known as blankets
until after the passage of the act of 1846, and Mr.
Campbell objected to this as irrelevant, the only
question being what were commercially known as
blankets 1041857, whoa the last revenue law was
made.
Judge Grier took this view of the ease The
sohedule of the act of 1846 was attached to the not
of 1857, merely to save the trouble of transcribing,
and it did not follow that the term ''blanket"
was traliktraced hack to 1846. •
The tAly e point is the case that being decided,
the Government was left without a defence, and
the verdict of thojnry for plaintiff for $719 OS, was
taken.
The case is ono of great importance to merchants
AS well as the Government, as an immense quantity
of these blankets are imported yearly, and the
deoision here makes a difference of nine per cent.
in favor of the importer and against the Govern.

Deers, Morn VF. The Steamer Anthraoito. In

this case, In which be says: "We cannot proper.
tton the damages. The collision cannot be classed
with those that aro inevitable, or,.without fault on
either side.. Nor can the damage beitemised aa•
cording to any ratio of degrees of blame, but where
both aro in fault the damages must be equally di.
sided. The case is referred to the clerk no oom
missioner to report the amount of damages to the

LECTURE ON THE ORIGIN OF ANGELL—The nay.
Mr. Barrett, who lectured before a crowded audience
last Sabbath evening, at the New Church Temple, on
Broad, above Sprint Garden street, on the revelatroks
'made by Swedenborg. claiming for them an authentica
tion by evidence stronger than miracles, will deliver
another discourse in the same blade. to-morrow eve
ning. In this diseouree. which in the beginning of a
series of five, on the New Church views of Heaven. as
,re voided in the writings of Swedenborg, be will treat of
.the origin of angels. Be proposes to show that there
are no created angels, bat that all angels are from the
human race, and once lived as men on this or some other
earth. Mr. Barrett is an eloquent, finished. and ear
ncat speaker. and holds the close attention of his audi.
enoes. Judging from the lame attendance on his lecture
'List Sunday evening. wo should infer that the subject of
Swedenborg's doctrines is attracting much attention.
Luc ruRES Br Joni( IL Gonad. ESQ.—On Monday
evening, at Musical Fund Hall, those of our Masons
ho may be fortunate enough to gain atinuesion will
have an opportunity of hearing the most celebrated
dramatic orator of the ageaohn B. Hough, Esq. 7 his
will he his first appearance in Philadelphia since his
farewell oration at our Academy of Mario in the spring
of 1E57. He has since then lectured in various part of
Europe to crowded and delighted audiences, and the
friends of the temperance, cause in this oonuitunitY
feel a loot pride in extending to thin eloquent champion
a brilliant welcome. Hie lectures here, to be delivered
on the evenings of the lath, 16th, and gild instant, will
1,3 given under the auspiees of the Young hlen's Chris
tian Assoination. It will doubtless be well to procure
tickets in advance.
Tae BLasinnas or Mrs.—There can be no
mistake that, foremost among the bleseings of this Pre
neat life, is the possession of health ; yet, how compa
ratively few there are 'who have either the prudence to
conserve it while they have it, or the 'wisdom to restore
it when they have not, We have already pointed
out the fact, and the tiasons for it, that we, American!,
aa a nation, aro a rim of nervous dyeteatios, of which
every • ether face you meet in the street is living wit

been examined to discover come moans whereby the
Proper electrical conditions of the ayatem could be pre
served, and this desideratum has at last been achieved ,
to demonstration. by Professor William Morris. M. D.,
of this city, in his celebrated " Encsmixtcia." manu
factured by Messrs. Mockndge do Co., Pio. CI North
Fourth street, and sold by druggists generally. This
wonderful external liquid remedy, composed of ve,y
simple ingredients, is daily effecting the most astonish
ing mires of all kinds of nervous strootions, and dummies
proceeding from them. For the great mass of popular
ailments among the American people, from the ;light
est headache to the meet violent rheumatism, it does,
indeed, appear to be a sovereign balm. Ocr word for it,
it would prove a blessing in every household.

Never fatted his royal eyes upon its equal ; to fact; he
admitted on entering it the other day, and 'surveying its

great merit of Messrs. Oakfoni's establishment is, that
they have need their great facilities for manufacturing
