Interesting SCCIMICR In the 'Councils—Two
Organizations Effected, and the Mayor
Refuses to Recognize them—Prospects of
Stand-Still in the Municipal Govern
ment-
'Yesterday morning, at 10 o'clock, in pursuance of
the act of Assembly, - the new City Councils assem
bled for the purpose of organizing. As it was gene
rally anticipated that there would be considerable
trouble in effecting an organization, an immense
crowd of spectators was present. The State-house
row Wil S'erowded, and much interest was manifested
by the friends of the two parties. The proceedings
of yesterday were as follows:
• .
SELECT BRANCH.
This Chamber was called to order at a quarter
past ten o'clock, by Mr. Rey, chief clerk, who called
the roll of members who hold over. Mr..Cather
wood was in his seat, and his name was called with
the rest.
The credentials of the new members were then
handed in and read by the clerk,
Mr. O'Rourke, who claims an election in the TWen
ty-fifth ward, in place of Mr. Catherwood, was pre
sent; but he was not called upon to present his certi
floats.
On motion, the name of Mr. Zane, who left hie
certifloate at home, and had gone to the Prothono
tary's 'Oleo to get one, was placed upon the roll.
Mr.' Z. subsequently presented his certificate, and
was sworn in.
The members were then qualified by the clerk.
The first business in order was the election of
President. •
Mr. ARMSTRONG nominated Samuel G.,King (D).

carried, to.adjourn for an hour,
During the adjournment a private caucus of both
sides of the house was held, Mr. Brightly refusing
to take part on either side.
Atl.2 o'clock the Chamber reassembled. The crowd
on the outside had by this time become immense.
The gallery was closely packed, and the jam in the
ante-chamber was so great that the members could
hardly make their way into the room.
At;twenty minutes after twelve Mr. ARMSTRONG
moved the clerk call the roll, when only the follow
ing. inemben ' answered to their names : Messrs.
Armstrong, Baird, Barron, Catherwood, Harris, Ka
inerly, King, Marcus, McElroy, Nicholson, Ricketts,

Mr. BRIGHTLY and a number of the Republican

Mr. KING voted for Mr. Armstrong.
Mr. Lynd, having received the majority of the
votes, was declared elected, and was escorted to the
chair by Mr. King, who also administered to him the
oath of the office.
Mr. LYND addressed the Chamber in a few words,
and pledged himself to discharge his duties to the
best of his abilities.
The next business in order was the election of a
chief •clerk.
Mr. BRIGIET.LT nominated Hen. C. Cottleld
and Mr. Wrruraum, nominated J. Barclay Harding,

A motion was now made to adjourn for one hour,
which was agreed to by a vote of 13 yeas to 12 nays.
The Chamber reassembled at the appointed hour,
President Lynd in the chair.
One ballot was taken which resulted in the elec
tion of Mr. Coaleld by the following vote :
Corfield.. ' I 13
Harding
All the Democrats, also Mr. Brightly, voted for
Mr. Corfleld. The announcement of the election of
Mr. Corfleld was received with loud and rapturous
applause.
After the chief clerk had been sworn in by the
President, the Chamber proceeded to elect an assist
ant clerk. Horace Martin, Dem., and Benjamin H.
Haines, Rep., were nominated.
One ballot was taken as follows :
Martin 13
Haines 12
Mr. Martin was thereupon declared elected assist
ant clerk.
For messenger Mr. Fougeray and Mr. Hemple •
were nominated. The vote cast was Fougeray 13 ;
Hemple 12, resulting in the election of the former.
At this time Mr. (Mx, of Common Council, in
troduced himself, and stated that Common Coancil
hail organized by the selection of its •old officers.
Mr. HAP.PI:II, at the same time, made his appear
ance, and stated that Common' Council had or
ganized by the selection of other officers. [See •
Common Council report.]
Mr. ARMSTRONG moved that the organization as
reported by Mr. Quin be recognized.
Mr. TrrritEnit.t. moved to amend by recognizing
the organization as reported by Mr. Harper.
agIOHTLY said as he understood this case,
one of these organizations had a member whose
seathad been declared vacant by the old Councils.
Until the courts declared that this gentleman (itlr.
Duffield) was entitled to his seat le could not re
cognize him. The same organization also contained
a member from the Twenty-first ward whom he
thought not entitled to his seat. He could not vote
to recognize an organization of this kind, and
should, therefore, vote for the other.
Mr. Iirf:THMULL replied that, while the gentle
man toolcone view of the case, there was another
which he had overlooked. He alluded to the case of
the Thitd. and Fifth wards, where one, member more
was sent than the ward was entitled - to. Ano
ther member was elected by one vote—perhaps that
east by himself. Inasmuch as there is doubt in both
cases, would it not be better to lay both communica
tions on the table for future consideration?
Mr. lintotrrix replied, and said he did not allude
to the Third anti Fifth wards, because one of these
eases overbalanced the other. One organization has
taken in two members not entitled to seats while
the other has only taken in one. This still gives
them the majority and the organization.
Mr. DAVIS said this was a monstrous doctrine for
the gentlemen to advocate at the commencement of
their term. He hoped neither branch would be re
cognized until properly organized.
Dr. I.ln.r.En defended Mr. CharleS T. Jones, the
member elect from the Twenty-first ward, and al
luded to by Mr. Brightly.
Mr. MILLEN arose and said that, after their orga . -
nization two gentlemen appear before us and pro
fess each to represent a body of Common Council.
We have yet to learn which of these two bodies has
the largest numbers. Who knows, and who will in
form us? It is not right, under present eircum-;
stances, to ask that either of these bodies be recog
nized. If we proceed and cut short the matter now
by our votes, the courts will throw the whole thing
back on us.
Riotru desired, before the vote was taken to
enter his protest against any such proceeding. No
one here can tell which of these bodies should be
recognized. He asked the members not to do that
which they must regret.
The 3 ens and nays were called on recognizing the
organization, as reported by Mr. King. This passed
by the following vote:
Yruki—Messrs. Armstrong, Baird, Barron, Bright,
ly, Catherwood, Harris, Hamerly, King, Marcus
McElroy, Nicholson, Ricketts, and Weaver-13.
NAvs—Messrs. Davis, Ginnodo,•Greble,Nanuel,
Miller, Paullin, Riche, Spering, *etheriil,
Zane, and Lynd, (President)-12.
The question was, therefore, decided in the af
firmative.
A motion was then made to appoint a committee
to wait upon the Mayor to inform him the Chamber,
was organized and ready for business. This was
opposed, but passed by a vote of 13 to 12.
The CHAIR. appointed Messrs. Armstrong, Wethe
rill, and Ginnodo.
Messrs. Wetherill and Ginnodo refused to serve
on the committee, and Messrs. Brightly and Ka
merly were substituted.
On motion, Messrs. King and Davis were appoint
ed a committee to inform Common Council of their
organization.
Mr. Dario refused to serve, and Mr. Baird was
substituted. He also reivaed to serve, and Mr.
Barron was appointed.
A motion was made to take a recess.
Dlr. GINNODO moved to amend by adjourning.
The ()train decided, as the committee were absent,
he would not put the question to a vote until their
return.
Mr. DAVIS thought it was an assumption of power
for the Chair to refuse to put the question to ad
journ.
The committee to wait on Common Council re
turned and made their report.
Mr. IVIILLan said he held in his hand a protest,
Which he desired read. It was as follows :We pro
test against any recognition of either of the bodies
calling themselves the Common Council of Phila
dolphin, and desire this protest to be entered on the
minutes. ' •

The committee to wait on the Mayor returned
and reported having attended to their duty.
Mr. Wxavim here presented a communication
signed by certain citizens of the Twenty-fourth ward,
complaining of E.-Spencer Miller holding a seat in
Select Council. The communication sets forth that
Philip Lowry received a majority of all the votes
east. [lt will be remembered that the ballot-boxes
in this easewere opened in court, when it was found
that Mr. Miller was fairly elected.]
The Own decided the communication was not in
form, as the affidavit attached was signed by two
and not by five persons.
The communication was then withdrawn.
The old rules for the government of the Chamber
were adopted, on motion of Mr. KING..
The Chamber then adjourned until Thursday next.
COMMON' BRANCH.
Ai the State House bell 'commenced to strike ten
o'clock, there being a very full attendance in Com

fused to put the question on Mr. Harper's motion.
Mr. SVIGER proceeded to the desk and began to
call the roll of members.
- - • - •
LUTTS, clerk of the old Councils, also called

The Republicans answered to the roll-call of Mr.
Sulger,
Tho Democrats answered to the roll-call of Mr.
Lutta.
Each announced a quorum of members present.
Mr. Tit coo was nominated for president.
On motion, his election Was declared unanimous.
Mr. KERIT was also nominated for president.
On motion, his, election was also declared unani

Cominon Council now presented a very rare ano
maly. two presidents having been elected unani
mously, and both discharging the duties of their
high office simultaneously. •
Mr..Ke.an sat in the large cushioned chair of pre
sident.
Mr. Tr.Eno contented himself with a plain cane

Abraham Stuart assistant clerk, and Messrs. Zia- ,
merman and Hail Messengers.
The committee appointed by . Mr. Trego to wait
upon the Mayor now returned. They reported that
"the Mayor would communioate when .both Cham
bers were organized.”
The cornmitteeiappoined byM.r..Kerr, for the same
purpose, reported that "the Mayor • ho -nothing to
.
.was now one &clock, and.the prospect of an or
ganization was as slim as when the members first
collected together.
The chamber was still crowded, the two presidents
occupied their seats, and the members talked and
chatted together, walked the floor, and smoked
cigars. Sortie had their hats on; some read newspa
pers, andalmost all reclined.intheir seats, with their
feet upon their desks.
Thus the valuable time of the City Fathers was
expended, until 3 o'clock, when
committee from Select Council was introduced,
conveying the information that thebody which they
represented had organized and was now ready to
proceed to business.
Mr. Quire said that the committee appointed by
Mr. Kerr to wait upon Select Council and inform
that body that Common Council had organized by
the election of Mr. Kerr, had discharged their busi
ness, and that the organization of Common Council
'had been recognized by a formal vote of Select
Council.
Mr. Bann, of the.Demoeratic 'committee to wait
upon the Mayor, repotted that they had another in
terview with the Mayor, and that he peremptorily
declined recognizing Common Council as at present
organized.
Mr. Siursox, of the Republican committee, made
•
a similar report.
Mr. LEIGH . offered a resolution that the stated
meetiggs of Councils be held on Thursdays.
The Democrats did not vote.
Mr. Trizoo declared the resolution adopted.
Mr. Qum moved that the rules of the last Council
be adopted for the government of this Council, until
otherwise ordered.
The Republicalu3 did not vole..
Mr. Kann declared the motion adopted.
Mr. QUIN moved to adjourn. Agreed to, the Re
publicans not voting.
Mr. Sizrrscrs moved to adjourn. Agreed to, the
Democrats not voting, and thus ended the farce.
The. Democratic members evince a perfect indif
ference as to the organization of Common Council,
and show no desire for a compromise. They still
retain the heads of departnients, and all the munici
pal patronage which fell to them last year. If Com
mon Council should not be recognized by the Mayor
during.the next six months, they willbe the gathers,
for all the "loaves and fishes" are theirs until some
body else is declared to be entitled thereto. As

ST. JOHN'S CREECH, LOWER MERTON,
MONTGOMERY COUNTY.—This new Episcopal
church is located in that beautiful section of Lower
Merlon township, near the intersection of the
Merlon turnpike and the road leading to Manayunk,
and about half a mile north of Merlon Station, on
the Pennsylvania Central Railroad. This neighbor
hood is rapidly filling up, and now offers induce
ments to our citizens for summer residences by rea
son of the increased railroad facilities in that direc
tion. The contract for the church has been awarded
to a competent builder, and the plan and drawings
do great credit to the taste of the architect em
ployed by the vestry. The church building is in
the Gothic style, having a front of twenty-five feet
by fifty feet-In depth. It consists of a nave, with a
wide central aisle and two rows of open benches.
The chancel, although under the same roof, is dis
tinct, being divided from the nave by an equi-lateral
pointed arch. The chancel is semi-octagonal, with
a concave ceiling, intersecting at the centre. Over
the communion table is a three-light foliated win
dow of stained glass. The rail is circular, on plan
of small columns and pointed arches. The vestry
and robing rooms are on either side. Three princi
pal trussed rafters of white pine, dressed and cham
fered, support the roof,'. which, together with the
open roof, is stained and varnished, as is also the
interior wood work and fittings. The walls rough
cast in tint. Externally the framing is weather
boarded vertically—the joints covered with cham
fered battens. The front gable terminates with a
neat bell-cot, beneath which is a crusped rose win
dow and the entrance porch. The ridge of the roof
has tre-foiled cresting. The details are all of the
plain, simple, and expressive characteristics of the
early English style, and cannot fail to make a neat
and appropriate rural chapel. - The , church will be
ready for service early in the coming month of July.

A RRIVAL OP A GUNBOAT. PROM PORT'
Rev-AL.—The United States •gunboat Oimerone,
Commander Maxwell Woodhull, arrived yesterday
from Port Royal, S. 0., which place she left on the
Ist instant.
The Cimerone has now been in commission some
six months, during which time she has been most
actively employed. She left this port last summer
very hurriedly for the James river, where Mc-
Clellan's army was at that time. She had two
month's service on that river during which time she
bent oft' a rifle battery opposite Harrison's Landing,
after nn engagement of two hours. On MeClellanfs
recrossing the Chickahominy she was ordered to
join Admiral Wilkes' squadron.'
On her way to Nassau she encountered a gale of
wind, and was compelled to rut into Port Royal in
distress, where she was surveyed and condemned as
unseaworthy.
Batteries having been erected in St. John's river,
by the rebels, she was detailed by Admiral Dupont,
in company with' the Paul Jones, to reduce them.
This was accomplished ,after two engagements
with them, and the river perfectly cleared, and the
Cimerone left to take charge and prevent their re
construction, having some two hundred miles of
river coast to look after. This duty was entirely
performed, besides accomplishing the destruction of
salt works, etc., in the vicinity.
The Cimerone has been ordered home for the ne
cessary repairs. The following is a list of her
officers:
Commander, Maxwell Woodhull ; lieutenfint com
mander, Bush B. Taylor; acting masters, George
E. Thurston, Ed. D. .March, S. A. Waterbury;
chief engineer, E. A. C. Du Plaine ; acting assistant
paymaster, D. W. Hale ; assistant surgeon. E. S.
Olcott ; second assistant engineer Reynolds Driver ,•
third assistant engineers, G. i. Burnap, G. W.
Beard, David Jones ; acting master's mates, P. J.
Blarkoe, Augustus Lippitt, William H. Herring;
captain's clerk, Charles H. Poor, Jr.; gunner, John
Caulk.
,THE CORN EXCHANGE REGIMENT.—
Messrs. Samuel L. Ward, Samuel Witmer, and
John K. Wagner, the committee appointed by the
Corn Exchange Association to visit their regiment
and present to them their New Year's gifts, have
returned. They conveyed to the army 4d2 packages
of goods, every one of which was delivered into the
hands of the parties to whom they were directed.
They also distributed among the men a large num
ber of gum blankets. They are nowfurnished with
more comforts than any other regiment attached to
the Army of the Potomac.
Colonel Charles M. Prevost who was severely
wounded in the tight at Blackford Ford, is still in
this city, and slowly recovering from his wounds.
Major Charles P. Herring, who was wounded at
Fredericksburg, has nearly recovered, and will re
turn to the regiment in a few days.
Capt. Sharswood, of Company 0, who was de
tailed for recruiting service in this city, left yester
day morning for the camp with a squad of fifteen or
twenty men.
The wounded of the regiment have been properly
cared for, and moat of the convalescents have re
turned to duty. As far as could be ascertained, no
serious case of illness prevails in the regiment.

A FESTITE OCCASION.—On New Year's
afternoon the artillery regiment• of Colonel Sege
berth, which is now awaiting marching orders, at
the camp on Cooper's creek, were handsomely en
tertained by the ladies of. Camden, at the new Bap
list Church on Fourth street. Over one hundred
roast turkies, together with myriads of delicacies of
a miscellaneous nature, were piled upon the long
tables, and thousands of flags decked the interior of
the church. After the soldiers had amply satisfied
the inner man, pithy and patriotic speeches were
made by different clergymen present, and a resolu
tion of thanks was tendered to the members of the
church for the use of the building, and everything
passed off in the most joyous manner. After a
short street parade, the regiment returned to camp
cheering for the ladies of Camden.
THE RECENT METEOR, noticed on the
night of the second by many of our citizens, is de
scribed as shooting over an arc of the heavens of
sixty degrees, which it described in about eight
seconds. Its tail was twenty degrees long-and one
degree broad (or about twice the diameter of the
moon) at its widest part. It appeared to be moving
from the .northwest to the southeast, and nearly in
a horizontal line,-and'when in the northeast it was
ten degrees below the stars Castor and Pollux ! and
about Thirty degrees vertically above the horizon.
High buildings prevented the entire passage of the
meteor from being seen.

An Important Arrest of Alleged Forgers.
Mr. Robert-Hague, the Chief of Police of the city
of Pittsburg, Messrs. 'Edward Carlin and Samuel
Henderson, of the detective' force of Philadelphia,
yesterday arrested two men on the charge of being

at the banking house of Messrs. Ferree & Co., on
Third street. He represented that he had just re
ceived it from parties' in New York. The banking

duced the proprietor to go with him to the banking
house to vouch for him.

THE ACCUSED.
The following is all that we can gain as to the
antecedents of the prisoners : Mr. Emory was born
at Bangor, arsine, and a few years ago MB - a 'mem
ber of the bar, and practised for some time in Boston.
Here he was engaged in a heavy case, and was
finally arrested on the charge of forging some de
positions. He was tried, convicted, and sentenced
to five years' imprisonment. Whether he was
liberated or served his time out we could not learn.
The next we hear of him he was editing a paper at
Baltimore, and was forced to leave that position
and city early after the rebellion commenced. He
came to Philadelphia,_ and entered Rush's Cavalry
Rs a private, and served in this capacity for one
year. He then obtained a position in the commis
sary department, and this is the last heard of him
until the present arrest. He is a fluent speaker=—
says he belonged to the staff of General Fremont—
was wounded in his little fingeroa portion of this
having been shot away 'during a battle. -It is al
leged that he is the one who• does the filling of the
checks. Melville gets them cashed.
In regard to the last-named person very little is
known about him. He was born in Baltimore. His
parents reside in Boston, Massachusetts.
.I.IJTOGRAPRS
Among the'rnany papers found in the personal
effects-of the prisoners was one of the election circu
lars of F. Carroll Brewster, the recently elected
Bepublican city solicitor. This document contained
the lithographic autographs of a number of the moat
influential business men and firms in Philadelphia.
The circular furnished the idea of the signaturei,
and several checks that had not yet been presented
were also found, signed and filled in, excepting the
numbers. The arrest Is an i important one, and will
form a bright page in the annals of the police of
Philadelphia.
[Before Mr. Alderman Baffler.)
• Military Fi sticitirs.
Lieut. Geo. E. Johnson, of Col. Murphy's Regi
ment, was arraigned before Alderman Beitler, yes
lerday afternoon, on the charge of committing an
assault and battery on Lieut. Col. Charles Parham.
The scene is alleged to have taken place at the re
cruiting quarters, Jones' Hotel, on Chestnut street
'above Sixth. Lieut: Solinson was taken prisoner at
Front Royal, at the time Stonewall Jackson made
a raid up the Shenandoah Valley. He, with most
all who were captured, stood his ground and battled
with the enemy. Lieut. Col, Parham, of the regi
ment, escaped capture. After the safe retreat of tie
main part of Gen. Banks' division to the Potomac,
Lieut. Col. Parham, arrived in Philadelphia, suffer
ing, it was reported'at that time,•from riwound he
had received. The evidence developed the interest
ing points' that yesterday afternoon, at the reertit- •
ing quarters above mentioned, some rather taunting
remarks ensued between' the Lieutenant Colonel
and Lieut. Johnson, during which the latter implied.-
cowardice, and said that it was just such persons - az
the Lieutenant Colonel that caused some of the'
soldiers to be taken' prisoners. •it is said that the
lie was given to Lieut. Johnson, and the nextmo
nrent the parties came in physical conflict, the Lieu
tenant rather making the advance. The Lieutenant
Colonel received a pretty severe blow on the nose,
cauaing that important organ to bleed freely. The
parties were separated. After a hearing, the alder
man required the defendant to enter $3OO bail to an
swer at court. •
[Before Mr. Alderman Shane.]
A Somewhat Singular Case.
James Belshey and James Madden are the names
given' byra couple of mewarrigned 'yesterday ., morn
ing before Alderman Shane. They were charged
with burglary. It seems that at about 2 o'clock in
the morning two men with their faces blackened
forcibly entered th'e house of Mr. Belshey, on
Seventh street, near PoPinr. They proceeded to a
bureau and'took therefrom a five-dollar note that
was wrapped in a piece of calico. Mrs. Belshey •
was awakened from her sleep, and screamed. One•c
of the parties threw a pitcher at her, and she
sprang from the window into the street. Fortu
nately -,she was. not much injured: From some
converstion overheard by•neighbors it is believed
that one of the men was Mr. Pelshey the: husband.
He Was recognised by his voice. It seems that'.
when the defendants were arrested, their faces were
clean, MO their hands looked as if they had been
recently blackened. These are about all the de- t ,
velopments made in what may. be considered .a
ralher'novel affair. The parties Were held to await
a further hearing. • •
(Before Mr. Aldermitn White.]
A Frenk of Manirt-n-Poto.
•
• Yesterday afternoon a very respectable and well-.
known citizen, Mr. Charles Neff; who resides on
Carter street, above Second; was arrested on the
complaint of a man giving his name as John E.
Webb, of Cape May charging the prisoner with
having robbed him 0(030 on Sunday evening. Webb
seemed to talk in a sensible manner • at first. He
stated that he had arrived from Cape May, and met
with Mr. Neff' on Sunday night, who robbed him of
his money. After a few questions by theinagistrate,
who seemed to distrust the prosecutor, although the
evidence so far Was consistent, the complainant fur
ther testified that he had the money yesterday morn
ing ; went up town,•where he met .Mr. Neff- '
then,
after a 'while, he came down town, missed his pocket
book, and he thought Mr. Neff had taken it. Re
applied to one of the reserve police, who made
the arrest. Mi. Neff offered to prove his entire in
nocence ; he had not been out of his house; has not
been north of Market street for a long time. The
alderman finally, after close-questioning the prose
cutor, came to the conclusion that the fellow was
laboring under nn attack of mania-a.potu. The case
was therefore dismissed.
Assault with a Knife.
.Charleis Ellis, a sailor man, was arraigned before
Alderman White, yesterday, on the charge of com
mitting an assault with a knife. According to the
evidence, the defendant a short time since went
into the public house of Mr. Boyle, near Penn. and
THE PRESS.-PHrLADELPIra.. TUESDAY. JANUARY 6, 1863.
Lombard streets; and had something to drink. A
difficulty ensued about the payment, and presently
Ellie sprang behind the bar and seized an oyster
knife, with which he assaulted the proprietor.
Several parties interfered and prevented Ellis from
inflicting any injury with the weapon. He was or
dered to enter bail to answer at court.

HHEALING POWERS OF ELEOTRI
'CITY DEMONSTRATED ON. OVER FOUR THOU
SAND INVALIDS, AT 1220 WALNUT STREET. PHI
LADELPHIA.
The object of the following certificates is to show that
cures at 3220 WALNUT Street are permanent and re
liable. The first cure was performed nearly three years
ago, the second was performed nearly one year ago, the
third about one year, and hundreds more of like cases
might be shown.
READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY.
About twelve months ago I had a severe attack of
Diabetes, attended 'with other difficulties too numerous
to mention. My . desire for drink was constant, and al
though I drank gallons per day, my thirst was never
alia~ed; I was only able to sleep at short intervals,
which seemed like a. trance. The mucous surface of my
mouth and throat had become so parched and feverish,
that I was in constant misery. I was also suffering
from all the horrors of Dyspepsia., loss of appetite, Nau
sea, and frequent andsevere attacks of vomiting; and so
prostrated was my general system, that .I was scarcely
able to move about. I had availed myself of the science
and skill of distinguished medical men, both of the Allo
pathic and Homeopathic school,• and exhausted their
catalogue of remedies, but. found .only temporary relief.
In thiacondition, when every ray of hope seemed pare
/yzed, I heard of the discovery of Professor Bolles in the
use of Electricity; and the wonders he was performing in
curing disease, and placed 'myself under his treatment ;
and, to the astonishment of myself and friends, in two
operations my Diabetes was controlled, and other diffi
culties soon disappeared ; my appetite has returned, sleep
undisturbed, and, in fact, I feel like one made anew.
• I would further state that I have seen other remark
able cures performed by Prof. Pollee, and would advise
the diseased to call at 1= Walnut street, and be restored
to health. I shall be glad to give any one information
calling on me. THOMAS HARROP
Rose Mill, West Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, May 180860.
Read the following from a preacher of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, No. 1€33 Helmuth street, Philadel
phia:
In attempting a definition of my disease, I can only
.give some of the many, symptoms which, taken altoge
ther, were the most horrid; and even medical men did
not know my disease from pathological symptoms. How
ever, Professor C. H. Bolles; by whona I was cured, lo
cated my disease inthe pelvic viscera, in five minutes
after I entered his office, and offered to warrant a perfect
cure in eight applications. And I frankly admit that in
eight applications of Electricity, administered by Pro
fessor Bomme, IM3 Walnut street, Philadelphia, I am
perfectly cured ; and to me this is most astonishing, for I
had exhausted the catalogue of old-school remedies, and
grew worse all the time.
I had long believed that in Electricity resided a potent
agent for the cure of disease, if a right apolication could.
be made; and now I can comprehend, from its powerful
effects on me, for a speedy cure, although no shocks were
given. All was pleasant, and accomplished as if by
magic.
I will give most of my symptoms, for the 'benefit of
suffering 'humanity. I had dyspepsia, bad marasmns, or
wasting of the tissues of the whole body; at times a
difficulty of breathing, some palpitation of the heart,
much bronchitis, trembling of the limbs after. exercise,
aversion to business and company; at times gloomy, ina
bility to collect my thoughts vigorously on any subject,
a loss of memory, pain in various parts of the body ; suP
fered much from lumbago, deranged secretions of the
kidneys and other glands of the system, constant drag-.
ging pains in the lumbar region, ttnd severe nor YOU diz
ziness.
I believe it is my duty, as a lover of humanity,- to
tre
-I)llBcltaset)iv. e There Professors
b B e
° n Ll 'o_ El guesswork, he afflicted of
no confusion, no matterof doubt in his treatment. He
Proceeds on fixed principlei,and according to fixed laws,
which seem to me infallible and harmonious. He war
rants, by special contract, the most obstinate, chronic
and acute cases, and charges nothing, if he fails. I ad
vise all of the diseased to try his treatment.

ANOTHER CURE OF PARALYSIS OF THE LOWER
LIMBS (Paraplegia) AND APOPLEXY COMBINED.
Read the following:
PAILADEMPRIA March 91,796'.
PROYEBSOR BOUM/Ll= Walnut street :. Tho remarka
ble care which I have derived from your method of ap
plying Electricity compels me to thus acknowledge the
great obligations I am under to you for snatching me, as
it were, from immediate death. About two years ago,
while a resident of Cincinnati, Ohio, I was visited with
an attack of paralysis of the lower extremities, which
rendered me. almost entirely unable to stand upon my
limbs. I employed some of the most celebrated physi
cians to be found in that section, but-received no appa
rent benefit, and after a lapse of about eighteen months
Was taken with a Spasm, which one of my physicians
pronounced a fit of apoplexy. Two weeks elapsed from
that time before I became the least conscious of anything
that had transpired, nor could I concentrate my mind or
converse upon.any subject without becoming very vi
sionary and excited, unil I placed myself under your
valuable treatment. After my arrival in Philadelphia
my attention was called to your treatment by a pamphlet
handed me by my father, which contained the names of
some gentlemen whom I had been formerly acquainted
with, and whose statements I could rely upon . I Imme
diately made up my mind to place myself under your
treatment. I have now been the recipient of four treat
ments, and I now feel perfectly satisfied that I am re
stored to a sound Condition, and thefore feel it ray duty
to gratefully acknowledge the benefits which I have re
ceived through your treatment.
Very respectfully you &c.
II:LIAlf H. SEWN,
Publisher of the National Mere/mat, office 126 'South.
SECOND Street, Philadelphia.
N. B.—lt will be well for the diseased to recollect that
Prof. B. has given a word of caution In his pamphlet to
guard them against trusting their health in the hands of
those in this city claiming to treat diseases according to
his discovery. This caution may seem severe on those
using Electricity at hazard, but it is the severity of truth,
and designed for the good of humanity. See advertise
ment in another column.
