PENNSYLVAAIA. . B111:Tat Monnsit.—We learn from the Berwick Gazelle that on last Friday, a colored mai by the name of Thomas Stookey, was brutally murdered by a man by the name of Samuel Iddings, at Pine Grove Hotel, in Columbia county. 'lt appears that Stookey was out on horseback in search of a dog of his which had strayed away, a nd stopped at this hotel to inquire if they had seen him. Idding,a, who was intoxicated, had cleared the house of its Inmates, by threatening their lives, he having a loaded re volver in hie hand. As Stookey rode up he went out and met him and caught his horse by the bridle, and demanded him to dismount; threatening to shoot him if he disobeyed. On remonstrating with him and pleading to be left alone, to pursue his journey, he attempted to move on, when Iddings discharged the contente of his pistol, which passed throughfhis stomach and lodged in his back, killing him almost instantly. A MysTEnv.—Mr. Peter Van Devander, of Peters'. burg, Huntingdon county, Pa., in company with one or two others started to hunt•dcer on Thursday, January 1, in Ic Diamond Valley," in the neighbor hood of Barre Forge, and soon after reaching the hunting ground the peril , separated with the under standing that they would meet at some given point in the evening. The others were there at the. ap pointed time, and Mr. Van Devander not coming, his comrades started home, and upon their arrival found that he had not reached there. Not arriving that night, search was made for him, but without success, until Sunday last, when his lifeless body was found in the woods with a bull - et-hole in the head. Bis gun was still loaded when- found, leaving no other conclusion to be arriyed.at than that ho was foully dealt with. The deceased leaves a wife and several children. . .

Thursday morning last, as David L. Smith, mail carrier from Pittsburg to' ndependende was on his way with the mail, about half way up 'Saw-Mill Hill, on Wash ington Pike, before daybreak, two scoundrels sprang • forward and pulled him off his horse. One of them placed his knee on Smith's neck while the •other drew a knife and cut through his overcoat and dress . coat pockets, extricating his pocket-book, containing flftv-two dollars.

ATTEMPT TO COMMIT MIIRDER.-011 last Wed nesday evening as Mr. Joseph McNeil, of Indi ana, was passing along one of the streets of that bo _rough, he was assaulted by two ruffians armed with knives, one of whom struck at his breast and cut through the lappel of his coat when Mr. MoN. knook ed him down ; the other made a blow at his head but fortunately •the knife passed through his hat. Mc- Neil then took to his heels and escaped from the resettle. CAMP CIIIITIN.—This famous camp of instruction, for a long time the central rallying point of out own and the militia of other States, contains at present scarcely more than one respectable•sized company. The deserted Appearance of the place contrasts strongly with its former scenes of bustling activity and warlike preparation. Perhaps from no similar camp in the country have there gone forth to the battle-fleld such numbers of our countrymen. Ax Aricis:wrßier.m.—S. B. Boyer, Esq., of Har risburg, came into possession of a German Bible last week, published at Frankforton-the.Main, by Christian Egenolff, on the first day of Maroh, 1634. Mr. Boyer purchased this ancient and valuable relic of 3. C. Morin, below Ohambersburg, which - he first saw while there on duty as one of the Pennsylvania militia; in September last. Mr. Moon had pur chased it years ago for six cents at a public vendue.

The entire load, con sisting of a heavy charge of buckshot; entered his left aide, and lodged near the backbone. At latest accounts there was some hope.;of his recovering. ATTEMPTED SIIIOMB.—We learn that Spencer Johnson, Esq., a respectable citizen of Farmington township, while in a fit of derangement, on Monday last, atte mptedi to take his own life by cutting his throat. He succeeded in inflicting a terrible wound, but at last accounts it was thought he would sur vive. 11l health is assigned as the superinducing cause of„his derangement. FARR NEAR MILFORD.— , Last week the Shocapie Sabot House, together with a large farm barn, situ ated about one and a half miles from that place, were consumed by fire.

MISCELLANEOUS. . PEONAGE AND SLAVERY IN NEW ALEXI CO.—The annual message of Governor Arny, of New Mexico, shows that the Territory is out of lebt, with a balance of sixteen hundred dollars n the treasury. The Governor devotes a large art of his message to the question of peonage, commenting upon the territorial law, which makes hired laborers on the farm responsible in their ser vices for any advances of money or goods :to the laborer. New Mexico has its slavery question in the cases of same six hundred Indian captives, who .age held as slaves. These are so held under an old custom of the Mexicans. The Governor sees diffi culties in emancipating them, or turning them loose, but still advises that their owners be compensated by the United States, and that the Indians be re turned to friendly tribes, when they belong to such tribes, and when' not, be disposed•of as Congress in its wisdom may think best. COST OF WAR.—From 1683..t0 1816,- England was for more than half the Wile—sixty-seven years —engaged in war. The war of the Spanish succes sion cost over $300,000,000 in eleven: years ; the seven years' • war cost $560,000;000; our Revolu tionary war cost England $650,000,000 ; and that of the French Revolution $2,320,000. When at war with Napoleon, from 1803 to 1816, • England raised by taxes the enormous sum of $3.655,000,000, and by loans the further sum of $1,940,000 -z-an average of over $1,3t2,000 per It has been said that for ninety days previoui to the battle of Waterloo; she spent an average of $5;000,000 per day. The people of these countres are still overburdened with taxes —and the poor people have a slim chance to advance in wealth or position.. TOBACCO.—A wagon-load of this staple attract ed considerable attention in our streets yesterday. it was raised by Mr. Samuel Smith, two and a half miles west of this City: Mr. Smith cultivated four acres, and the yield is upwards of 4,000 pounds. • He Informs us that one hand could attend about four acres.. The'product of an acre .is about $l5O, ren dering the culture of tobacco more profitable than almost, any other crop which can-be put in. The quality of the tobacco was very fair, and Mr. C. claims that he raised some which is very superior. Sangamon county is peculiarly adapted to the growth of this great staple, and farmers are beginning to turn their. attention to its culture.—Spriao,field (Ill.) Journal.

If this date, 1262, be. correct, this must be the oldest bell in the world, unless there are any Russian bells to contest the palm of antiquity. . A SHARP RASCAL.—A man named John Tyroe, employed by Grover & Gardner, commission mer chants of Baltimore, got cashed in Washington, the other day, a draft for $46,000 belonging to his em ployers, getting " greenbacks') for the whole amount, and, then hurried to New York, where he converted his paper into gold, and at once embarked for Eu rope. It is thought he has swindled others out of money by borrowing, &c., and that his delinquen cies will not fall short of $'70,000. IMPORTANT DEOISION.—That was a very important decision of Judge Shipman, in the case of Houck:null vs. Fox, to the effect that the represen tation of a play, by The consent of the author, gives no light to others to play it without his consent. The author's right to his play, book, lecture, sermon, or what not, is protected by common law, and by the law of copyright, when published. Literary men have been trying for years to obtain such ajudgment as this at the hands of justice, but have never suc ceeded till now.

VICTOR HUGO'S GOOD BISHOP. We learn that the real bishop, whose good deeds are almost literally narrated by the novelist, was Charles Fran cis Melchior Bienvenu Mollie, Bishop of Digne, who was born in 1753, and died in 1843. These figures do not exactly correspond with Victor Hugo's, the Bishop's birth having been moved backward thii , teen years, and his life shortened by eight years, simply to suit the story. The good man lives anew in the world after his death, and " being dead, yet spestketh.ss THE LAST ODDITY.—Among the last heard of oddities attracted to Paris by various motives is said to be a Russian prince of great wealth, his fortune being estimated at the respectable figure of $650,000 a year.

THE The The JANUARY 20,1862. 6 .A.br 12M 3P. M. 36 38 38 • WIND. NE ' W by E..... NNE THE MERCHANTS' FUND—ANNUAL MEET nio.—The annual meeting of the Merchants , Fund Society was held yesterday'afternoon, at theirrooui, N. W. corner Seventh and Sansom streets. The president, Mr. John M. Atwood, called the rneteing to order. Mr. Thomas Robins acted as president, and Wm. H. Bacon, Esq., acted as secretary. The ninth annual report of the managers was read by Mr. Atwood, giving , a very gratifying account of the prospects of the society and its beneficent work ings during the year.. The report is as follows : ' The continuance of the great national calamity which in two previous years seemed to Justify the omission of a more public observance of our anni versary, has induced the managers to forego the gratification on the present occasion. They trust, however, that the time will come when the reunions which heretofo and in crowded halls, have con tributed so much re, to deepen our interest in the object of the association and to draw in closer,bonds the merchants of Philadelphia, may be appropriately resumed. Amidst the. exciting events of the period, the society has endeavored to fulfil the trust confided to its charge: It has continued, through its executive committee, to hold forth to the suffering merchant its profferfi of assistance, and',has ministered to his wants. curing the past year the committee have made forty-six donations. Some of the beneficiaries were vecy.aged; most of them had suffered silently, and suffered long, and it was only after the failure of every effint at self-support, and the disappoint ment or every hope that they sought or accepted the help which this institution gives. The annexed extracts from some of their letters will exhibit a specimen of the grateful emotions which the bene factions of the society have excited in the hearts of the beneficiaries. It is gratifying to 'state, that while owing to the present troubles the income from annual subscrip tions has been lessened, we have still heen spared the painful necessity of withholding assistance is any proper case which has been' brought to the no tice of the committee. Only len persons now re ceive a stated allowance. The number' of grants 'since the formation of the society is three hundred 'and. forty-two. Although the aggregate of these donations Is not far from twenty thousand dollars, the pecuniary sum but poorly expresses the amount of blessings conferred upon our suffering 'brethren. It is not merely that pressing wants have been supplied, and almost un hoped-for comforts brought to many dwellings, but the recipient has felt that he was again brought 'within the circle . of sympathies • from • which he seemed forever cast out, and was not, as he had feared, left like the wounded soldier on. the battle field—uneared for, unheeded, forgotten. It cannot, ought not to be overlooked, that the charity contemplated by this society deals with pe culiar circumstances in respect to those whom it seeks to benefit. Many of them were men 'whose morning and mid-day life were full of promise of security, and gave no presage of future destitution. From their position and success in life they had sup posed it their mission to succor the needy,-not to share in this penury ; and now, when age, poverty, and sickness have come upon them, and the grave has closed over those whose tried friend ship would have been ready with its aid, and they are left confessedly helpless and dependent, their condition is still peculiar. We cast no reproach upon the ordinary municipal arrangements for the relief of thepoor when we- say that they do not meet the case of these sufferers—the supply of their necessi ties through such a channel would be at a cost of mental suffering, which' the physical relief would not compensate. The receipts of the year from all sources, as shown by the annexed statement of the treaaurer, have been $4,678.43, and the expenditures $2,182.90, leav ing a present balance of $2,730.35, of which $2,500 belongs to the permanent fund. Through the kindness of Messrs. M. L. Dawson, Wm. Biddle, and Thomas Williamson, executors, there has been appropriated froMthe bequest of the late Josiah Dawson, the liberal sum of five thousand dollars as a donation to.our society. This.. donation they have made from the ."conviction of the great good which the merchants' fund was capable ofw complishing.” This amount will be..separately,in vested in the name.of the "Josiah Dawson Fund," and its income be separately appropriated, thus per petuating on our records the name of the benevolent gentleman to - whose thoughtful provision for his suffering fellow-beings many of the most important charitieit of our city are so largely indebted. In consequence of continued ill-health William 0. Ludwig, Esq., has felt himself obliged to resign the office of treasurer, which he has held from the forma tion of the Society. The association is deeply in debted to this gentleman for his able and faithful services in this work of beneficence, and the neces sity of his resignation is greatly regretted by the Board. Two of the beneficiaries have deceased during the past year. One of these, for a long period an in valid, had formerly held a highly important public office, the'duties of which he discharged, we believe, without reproach. The aid rendered to himby this society was auxiliary to that of a daughter, by whose filial piety her aged father waif/ . chiefly supported, not without much labor and self-denial. The name of the other gentleman, whose. life was protracted beyond fourscore, would recall to the memory of our older merchants one formerly engaged in exten sive commercial business. His upright and blame . leas conduct, in the days of his prosperity and in the reverses - which befel him thrbugh misplaced con fidence in others at a period of general commercial distress, won for him a degree of respect not often ' enjoyed, and never more justly earned. That the last years of the life of this estimable man were not embittered by want or the painful apprehension of t, was, owing to the regular provision for his sup port frm the funds of this institution. In view of these and similar illustrations, which re daily presented in the progressive history of this lan of benevolence, can it be doubted that there ihould cluster around the Merchants' Fund the warm regards of the merchants of Philadelphia, which should insure its greater ability and more certain permanence? If our:profession be one of acknowledged - usefulness—if the general integrity which characterized it has secured, a well-attested confidence at home, and reflected honor on the repu tation of our city abroad—if it is exceeded by no other in the munificence of its private charities and generous support of our public institutions of be nevolence—it at the call of our country, and in defence of her Constitution and laws, it has freely expended its blood and treasure, there maybe surely claimed for its own members in destitution and sorrow a peculiar sympathy, and that it 'should - so minister relief as.to inflict no wound upon.,the suf ferer, nor exact any hiimiliation as the price of Its gifts. To do this in the best way, and to assist the worthy and deserving even as 'a brother helps a brother in his need, the Merchants' Fund was in stituted, and there has come upon it the "blessing of " many " who were ready to perish." The following extract of a note from Horace Bla ney was read in connection with the report: "In the course of an active professional life, I had constant opportunities to observe how - vastly the cases of good faith among merchants and men of business -in this city outnumbered the cases of an opposite description, where at the same time there was neither formal security nor competent proof to insure fidelity. I should say, the propOrtion was greater than a thousand to one." The treasurer's report showed receipts amounting to $4,913.25, and expenditures to $2,182.90. The sum of $1,975 was expended for beneficiaries, leaving a balance of $2,730.35. An election for officers resulted as follows : President.—John M. Atwood. Vice Presidents.—Thomas Robins, Edmund A..

SMITH.-it will be remembered that, shortly after the downfall of Fort Donelsom, the City Councils of Philadelphia, by a unanimous rem). lution, voted to present to the hero of that victory, Major. General Chas. F. Smith, a handsome sword, in testimony•of their appreciation of his brave and gallant condifct. Gen. Smith being a Philadelphian, was the more entitled to the substantial recognition of our municipal authorities. The sword was at once ordered to be manufactured, but, before it reach ed completion, he for whom it was intended, ' died from the wounds received at Donelson. The testi monial, however, was presented, privately, on Mon day evening to the family of the lamented soldier by Mayor Henry, assisted by Theodore Cuyler, Esq.,. president of Select Council. The Mayor, in presenting ,the sword, delivered a neat and graceful address, referring in terms of the warmest eulogy to the merits and bravery °Mlle gallant hero. It was received by Mrs. Smith in simple and touching language, which bore ample testimony tot he worth of her distinguished husband. The sword itself is a finished piece of workmanship, the hilt blazing with diamonds and enriched with amethysts, pearls, and the most exquisite enamel. The scabbard bears on one side the National and -Irreprestarramblrorttert-antral-,-ftaln.firtffirdespe rate charge which has rendered his name immortal. The following inscription, penned by Mr. Henry, is engraved on a beautifully enamelled band : The. City of Philadelphia, April 81h,1862, to Brig.

Dlr.. D. Y. Heisler, of Bethlehem. In the absence of the president, the chair was talcen by Rev. Dr. E. Heiner. After these introductory services, an essayi entitled " Swiss Reformers," and composed by .Rev. Dr. Berzog, of.Erlangen, Germany, was read by the translator,. Rev.. Dr.- H. Harbaugh; ofjorbanon, Pennsylvania. In the course of the argument it was remarked that the people of Zurich, on account.' of their religious susceptibility , were disposed toward carrying through the Reformation. Zuringle, beyond all others, was fitted to advance the spread of the Reformation. The Gospel was not, however, to be helped on by the civil 'sword.' Ori the 13th October, 1631, he expiated for his error through the blood thirsty vengeance'of the Catholia• Canton: Among the French Reformers Calvin stood out by far , the most prominently. Calvin was fitted to render ser vice in the second period of the Reformation. 'He was a powerful organizer of the Church. The con treat between Zuringle and Calvin was identical with the contrast afforded between the strugglings of a gifted and ambitious youth and the endeavors of a self-possessed, well-balanced man. • The reading of the essay occupied an hour, It was followed by an extemporary address, in Ger man, by Rev. Dr. J. S. Kessler, of Allentown, Penn sylvania. The epeaker remarked that the Swiss, like the Americans, are a free people. The ..Ro formation in Switzerland had received its com plexion from the constitutional courage and love of liberty through which they had achieved their inde pendence. This inherent spirit of reedom, however, had not been kept within judicious limits. Luther fought with one Pope ; _Zuringle ' grappled with two—one the Pope of Rome, the other a false spirit of liberty rife among the friends . of the Reformation. The latter, as led by Luther, was -favored -with the patronage of princely powers as led by Zuringle it could boast no such suppor t; consequently unity marked the German Reformation, division the Swiss. 'Diversity of view as well as of action impeded the latter's progress. To-day, after centuries of influ ence and of endeavor, the Swiss Reformed Church was without a general central synod—the Protes tant cantons of Switzerland were destitute of cen trality in feeling and action. Switzerland's na tional unity indeed binds its natural divisions into one general confederation, and supersedes in some degree . the . necessity for ecclesiastical -oneness. Switzerland, through Bullinger, had furnished her quota - toward the formation of the Heidelberg Gate chasm. - • • Rev. Dr. Bomberger presented the following reso lutions, which were unanimously adopted : Resolved, That a committee, consisting of one member from each °lassie represented in this Con vention, be appointed to prepare a list of the dele gates present, arranged according to the several classes and pastoral charges to which they respec tively belong, in.the order 'of the statistical table of the minutes of Synod. Resolved, That each . pastor ,present be directed to furnish'his name„'with the names of the delegatel from his charge, to the member of the committee be longing to hie classic. Lay delegates present ;with out their pastor are requested to report their names to the committee separately. The subject which next occupied the attention of the meeting, was the essay entitled "The Authors of the Heidelberg Catechism," composed and delivered by Professor Thos: 0. Porter, professor of Natural Sciences in Franklin and Marshall College, Lan caster, Pennsylvania. In this the history of Caspar Olevianus and Zacharias Ursinas was delirieat-W in faithful and glowing colors. It waaboth well writ ten and well read. The sentences were full of mean ing, and the description veryjudictious. After the reading of the essay was finished, our attention was called by Rev. Dr. E. V. Gerhart, president of the Marshall and Franklin College, to the ter-centenary edition of the Heidelberg Catechism. A critical edi tion of this work is expected to be ready for delivery by the first of May next. It.will probably Cost $2.50, but not over $3. After the announcement was made, Rev. Mr. J. S. Dumond, of Lancaster, Pa., made a few remarks in regard to the character of the Heidelberg Catechism. Rev. Dr. Schoff then stated that Rev.

The Court of Oyer and Terminer was in semdon for a short time, but adjourned without getting a ease on. THE POLICE. [Before Mr. Alderman Battler.] Committed. Thornas,Welsh was arraigned before the alderman at the Central Station yesterday morning, on the charge of stealing a Doi of gold, the facts of which have already been published in The Press. He admitted taking the treasure. There were no additional points of interest developed at the hearing.. The accused was committed in default of $3,000 bail. Alleged Forgery of Election Certificates. Still another election forgery in the Fifth ward came to light yesterday, morning, before Alderman Beitler. In this affair the public generally .are not so deeply interested as in the other election cases now pending before judicial tribunals. The present :forgery is confined to the Democratic family of the Fifth precinct of the Fifth ward. An election was held the various precincts of the city, by the members of the Democratic party, on Monday eve ning; to elect delegates to Conventions to assemble Lv <s acre - ‘7ol.llretl-• - tion to nominate a Governor. In the Fifth - Precinct of the Fifth ward there was considefirble rivalry among the contestants. The judge of this precinct Was Michael Allen; the inspector, Francis P. She lton.. It is averrethat the only delegates voted for in this precinct were Messrs. W. O'Brien, Dennis Mead, and Wilson Collins. The delegates elected, or reported elected, assem bled in convention yesterday morning, at which Michael McGeoy was chosen presiding officer. Among the credentials presented was one certifying to the election of Hugh BroiVn as a delegate from the Fifth precinct. This document purported to have been signed by Michael Allen, judge, and F. P. She "han, inspector. It was pronounced in the conven tion as a forgery. 'Legal proceedings were instituted before Alder man Beitler, charging Mr. Brown with having coin :mined forgety.. The case was to have been investi gated, yesterday afternoon, but it was postponed till half.past three o'clock this afternoon. The parties, • it seems, had not been able toobtain the certificate from Mr. McGeoy, the president of the convention, 'Thus matters came to a dead lock. The parties in 'the office evinced anythine else than a feeling of gentility towards each other. It is proper to state, the friends of Mr. Brown say he received two.votes to anybody else's one, and that his certifloath is no forgery. [Before Mr. Alderman Carter.) Alleged Robbery. , • Zames Ewing was arraigned before Alderman Car ter, yesterday naorniq, on the charge of robbing the money - box of an omnibus, at the corner of Twenty third and , Lombard streets, on itionday night.. There• is still a line of omnibuses .running through .Lom bard street, and the stand is located as above stated. The evidence in the case developed the fact that the accused was observed in. the. act of helping himself to the contents of the driver's box.. He was com mitted to answer..

IS A CON centrated extract of iirsaparilla, so combined .pith other substances of st eater alterative, power P 243 'as to afford an effective antido e for diseases; parilla is reputed to cure .: Such a remedy is surer *Med by A Vii those who suffer from Strumous complain And that one which will accomplish their care must prove of im mense service to this large class of our afflicted fellow citizens. How completely this compound will do it has been proven by experiment on many of the Worst cases to be found in the following com plaints : ' . SCROFULA AND SCROFULOUS COMPLAINTS, ERUPTIONS AND ERUPTIVE DISEASES, ULCERS, PIMPLES, BLOTCHES, TUMORS, SALT RHEUM, , SCALD HEAD,SYPHTLIS AND SY PHILITIC AFFECTIONS, MERCURIAL DISEASE, DROPsy, NEURALGIA OR. TIC DOLOREUX, DEBILITY, DYSPEPSIA A.NDINDIOESTIO - N, ERYNITEIAS, MOSE Ox ST. ANTHONY's FIRE, and indeed the whole class of complaints arising from IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD. . This compound will be found a great promoter of health when taken in the spring to expel the foul hu mors which fester in the blood at that season of the year. By the timely expulsion of them many rankling disor ders are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the system will strive to rid itself of corruptions. if not as sisted to do this through the natural channels of the 'body by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitia ted blood whenever you dud its impurities bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores ; cleanse it when you find it is obstructed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it whenever it is foul, and your feelings 'will tell you when.. Even where no particular disorder is felt, people enjoy better health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. - Keep the blood healthy, and all is well ; but with the pabulum of life disordered, there can be no lasting health. Sooner or later something must go wrong, and the great machinery of life is disordered or overthrown. Miring late years the public have been misled by large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of ,Sarsa parilla for one dollar. Most of these have been frauds upon the sick, for they not only contain little, if , any, Sarsaparilla, but often no curative properties whatever. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment has followed the use of the various extracts of Sarsaparilla which flood the market, until the name itself Ls rustly'despisod, and had become synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the namelrom the load of obloquy which rests upon it. And we think we have ground for belieVing it has virtues which are irre sistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intended to cure. Prepared by Da. J. C. AVER & CO., Lowell, Massa chusetts.

The object of the following certificates is to show that cures at = WALNUT Street are permanent and re liable. The first care 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. Aboutb 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 allayed; I was only able to sleep at short intervals, weiich seemed like a trance.. The mucous surface of my mouth and throat had become so parched and feverish. I nat. I was in constant misery. I was also .813.08thig from all the horrors of Dyspepsia, loss of appetite, Nan sea, and frequent arid severe attacks of vomiting; and so prostrated Was my general system, that .1 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 - this condition, when every ray of hope seemed para lyzed, 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 theastonishment 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 bProf. Bolles, 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 15t,1860. • -- Read the following from a preacher of the Methodist Episcopal - Church, No. 1633 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 whom I was cured,lo - my disease in the 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 Boma% 1220 Walnut street, Philadelphia, 1 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 sure of disease, if a right application could be made ; and now I can comprehend, from its powerfal effects on me, for a speedy cure, although noehocks wore • given. All was pleasant, and accomplished- as if by magic. - I will give most of my spit/toms, for the benefit of suffering humanity. I had dyspepala, bad marasmus, or wasting of the tissues of the whole body; at times a difficulty of breathing, some palpitation of the heart, much brenehitia, trembling of the limbs after exercise, aversion tohusiness and company; at times gloomai..iaa bility to collect ma thoughts vigorously, on any subject, a low of memory, pain in various parts of the bodaeseaf fered much frees lumbago, deranged secretions of the kidneys and other glands of the system. constaritairag ging pains in the lumbar region, and severe nervous diz ziness. I believe it la my duty, as a lover. of humanity,to re commend this discovery of Professor HOLUM tolthe. afflicted of all classes. There see,ms.to be uo.p;aesswork, no con:Carden, no matter of doubt in his treatsrunat. He proceeds on fixed principles, andiaccordingte-ltsed laws. which seem to me infallible and. harmonious. He war rants, by seecial 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- BIM A.R.D 'P.

Read the following : • lermantatlwria, March 31,1862. Peon:9Boa Bouns.l2io , Walkuistreet : The remarka ble cure which I have derived, [rem your method of ap plying Electricity compels me to thus acknowledge the great oblf.gations I am under to you for snatching me, as It were..f:rom immediate death. About two years age, while a- resident of Cinoinnati, Ohio, I was visited with an attaO a of paralysis of the lower extremities. which renderfal me almost entirely unable to stand upon my limb's.' I employed some of the most celebrated Wilms cians!.o be found in that section, but received no also, rent 11. ,eneflt, and after a lapse of about eighteen months wsui, , ,aken with a spasm, which one of my physicians .pron ounced a fit of apoplexy. Two weeks elapsed from the, time before I became the least conscious of anything th>•.t had transpired, nor could I concentrate my mind or ow averse upon any subject without becoming .very vi- Conary and, excited, until 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 lam re stored to a sound condition, and. thefore feel it my dutY• to gratefully acknowledge the benefits which I have re. calved through your treatment. - Very respectfully yours, arc. wIL MAI N, Publisher of the Nationeit Mercha LlAlf nt. office 126 South SECOND Street. Philadelphia. I *T. B —lt will be well for the diseased to recollect that Prat. 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 /Lizard. but It is the severity of truth, and designed for the good of humanity. See advertilw ment in another column. Conatatatirm Pm.
