The brain* roucuß and serous membranes, the »hiu* tissues, and duidß, constitute the negative and positive forces; and every actioa, whether mental or physical, i* the result of these antagonize forces. Digestion, respira tion, circulation, secretion, and excretion are due solely to Kleetrieal inffaenee. There Is a polar aetion eatahlished throughout the neryous system which con nects with every part of the body, 'establishing and preserving a -proper balance of the electrical element. Which constitutes health, and a disturbance of which esuses disease. There are, strictly* but two conditions of disease—one of inflammation, or positive; the oiher wealc, debilitated; negative; and as Electricity contains these two conditions 'in the action,of the positive and negative currents, aU we have to do is^to neutralise the disease asdreatore proper healthy action. We do not w ish to convey the impression that we core sll diseases in all conditions. We eannotcuiecontump tion after the lunga are all destroyed: yet we do assert and are prepared to practically demonstrate that hun dreds of oasts of almost everr form of chronic disease* pronounced incurable by the best medical practitioners . of the country* been radically cured, some of them In an incredibly short time,"by our Electrical treatment. Its great superiority over other practices in the cure of disease is also attested in the fact that, within the past five years, over fourteen, - thousa* patients have .been treated at this office, suffering from almost every form and condition of disease common to hu manity, and in nearly au eases a benefit or per hot cure has been effected. Therefore, with these to. prove our theory and treatment of.disease, we are vwill ing to undertake any of the following with every hope and prospect of success; with very many others not here enumerated * 1, Diseases of the Brain and Nervous System- ~Bpl lepsy. Chorea or Bt. Vitus’ Dance* Paralyiia (ftemiple* gia and Far&Piegia), Neuralgia,Hysteria, Nervousness, Falpltation of the Heart, Itock-Jaw, etc., etc.; also, diseases, of the.Byeandßar. ' ‘ -v 2.

Ulceration; and various other affections of tae Womb and Ovaries, Pain ful, Suppressed, Scanty, or Profuse Menstruation, Leu eorrbcea.' ' " ' " TO La DIBS can we recommend this treatment as one of U&VABIBD SUCCESS'. Almost innumerable cases have come under treatment at our office who can testify to this fact.. Mrs. B.

TO THE AfTXJOTEDft- The treatment is mild and producing no ehoek or unpleasant sent ation whatever. Our professional intercourse with tiie afflicted will ever be characterized by perfect candor and honesty, and those whose com plaints are incurable, or do not admit of. amelioration,- will be frankly told so, and not accepted for treatment* It matters not what may Be your oompialnt, or bow long you have suffered, or how much- or What course of treatment you. may have been subjected'to* or what disappointments you have experienced; if the system is sot worn infiloientvitalityiemsinsforreaction— there is a fltir prospect of recovery. ■ REFERENCES.

The Hlllyar family are of old lineage, great wealth,- and high station—the head a Baronet worth jeio.coo per anhum. The Burtons,'one of whom beoomes one of tha Cabinet, while another is a member of the Tipper House of' legislature to one hr the Australian provinces, are ohlldren .of toll—horny-handed, honest, hard-work ing, intelligent men, brought up as blacksmiths, and following that handicraft not only In London .but in Australia, , In this volume a groat dealof jstfqscrlbed.and weprefer this to the more familiar, life to London. The story has a dash of Sensation to it, bnt has a good’ deal of sentiment also. ‘ €>ne of the best scenes Is that in which Joe Burton woos and wins the beautlfd; Widow North who candidly confesses to a female friend that, ir Jie had not asked her, she should have proposed tohim-den minutes later.

The great creations Jf the, volume, however, are Boh, a very “fast” ana prematurely knowtog Hebrewdad, and Lesbla/Bhrhe, the splendid remains of a magntfi cent Irishwoman, with a great heart and a noble - mind..,The story has afforded us great pleasure, an d; with' A safe conscience, we heartily commend It to the readingpubllCr Becelved from J. B. Llp ptocott & 00. B“ Cape Ood," by Henry D. Thoreau, a well-known contributor to the Aiantic Monthly, is among -Tiok nor & Fields’ new publications, and may be charae terlzed as a readable book, giving an account, pleas- i ant wltlial and full of information, of the sea-side of a well-known part of Massachusetts. In repeated vlsltS,' ,Mr., Thoreau traversed about thirty miles of that which Is uninterrupted by streams, rivers, or what are (Improperly) called Weeks,"* that the pedestrian oati easily cover the wholoextent. Mr. Thoreau is a sen sible, manly writer,, wholly nnpuritanic, but a little too fond of exhibiting his hook learning and painfully addieted to tesselatlng his plain, generally good English with Batin and Greek quotations Sometimes,|rhen careless, he falls tote the misera ble New England dialect: such as (p,127) “ Ihelped a man Weigh a .bundle of hay,” and (p. 102) “ we - helped a wreokor turn over alayer log.” We have learned-ffom.hlm, however, many things which we, did not know before, and therefore are bound to speak well of a book which occupied'us during an entire afterpoejn. Becelved Horn J. B. Llppiuoott k Co. ~ ’ Public Entertainment*. It iswith a' Bentlment totally unakin’ to the) flab jectof whlohwe are writing that «« at this mo ment take op the pen.. The crueland untimely death or the &te President, and the universal feel lng of sadness wbloh It baa produce.d in this city as well ah In thewhole of the Union, renders ns for the time unable to do more than merely to announce to our readers|he names of the theatrical notabilities who will aflt for their support during the ensuing week.. It is foot merely that a.Presldent has been taken from us*% the ballet of the assassin, bat that a conscientious and. merciful man, who had slowly but surely" engrossed In his own person the lore of the' whole of our people, by the truly hofiest and merciful discharge d! the duties of hts position at a most trying period In onr history, has been taken from ns. It matters not what lndlvldqalpolitioal •’fistti W"T' , *' ia pff * >mul3aiea''‘TOr' hlm—aU ."have paftlorpated In a -.greater or lesser degree wlththegrlefof Mrs. Bln.

She 1b said by the cor mpondentof the New York Herald, to haye. ex -clßlmod, when the .fatal shot iras fired,“oh! why "dldpt they Murat me Wwlw didn’t they shoot me l" .Fueling with her as keenly as we do, wo may say that we do more than sympathize with her affliction . under her bereavement, for that bereavement Is also a truly national one. It wlll aIBO he with a feeling of the most profound regret that tire employ!) of We various theatres throughout the country will • feel the heavy blow vhileh has fallen upon the na tion. The knowledge—for it 1b now considerably more than a suspicion—that a prominent mid well- Snfrwn actor, inheriting in an inferior degree some of tfie genius of a father whom we had received from England and weloomed here as a ’great artist, - hai thus repaid the benefits which the Ame rican public had conferred upon him and on hl's family, will render this feeling shrewder and more pervading. In addition, to this, the base In gratitude to our whole nation displayed by the ma niacal assassin, far we can soarcely consider him Inhla right mind, will render his name odious to WA community. His brother, Edwin Booth, will in no email degree share the natural detestation whloh thWnamo must excite amongst us. This Is to be regretted, yet it Is unavoidable, and we feel con- Tinted that he himself would admit the justice of oar observations, sharing, as we know that he does, nonb of the extreme Southern proclivities of opinion whloh have, almost to a certainty, Ineffaoeably blackened the name of his brother. At the same ’ time we must unquestionably rejoice that popular indignation did not take the shape whloh, at one period on Saturday last, It seemed likely to do, by ludubing the mob whloh exists In all great oltles, even In Philadelphia, to tear dawn the Walnut street Theatre, of which Edwin Booth, lnconjuotion with Olarke, the comic actor, becomes the lessee at the end of the coming summer. This would have been regrettable, unjustifiable—not only because ME Booth Is In no waylmplloated with his brother’s crime, but beeause It seems to ns that to punish the protect lessee for the crime of the brother of the future one, with which that future lessee Is not eventoany way connected, would appear a most extraordinarily Irish mode of retributive jnstloe, anyone which ts totally out of keeping with the prao tloifi justice' arid“ Bonnd common sense which are our most distinguishing characteristics. We should Boaioely have spoken so much at length upon this subject, were if not that the miserable assassin, If the well-grounded suspicion prove eorreot which couples his name with the author of President Bln coin's lamentable death, is an actor. This crust and Scoundrelly deed must, therefore, leave a black stain upon his profession, whloh, we are happy to - gay, jins generally been free from the blemish of couotjng- great orimlnalß among its members. --Whatever want of purity or laxity of moras may erise m the theatre; the prominent guilts of-the statute book have very rarely been fouml polluting the history of the Coulisses and the foot-lights. At TK9 aaBSTKtrT-STBaaT Tsbathh, an old favorite of ours, Mrs. D. F. Bowers, will make her appßhsace this evening. The- play in whloh. she appears Is “Camille,” the leading character In which she renders with the most exquisite feeling.

B Fisk’s recent drama of "Corporal Cartouche,” which Is now en- joying sueh-a successful run at the Winter Garden. We presume the natural professional jealousy, arising from their own want of success, has Induced several of the smaller run of dramatic critics to at tack the writer. First, they said was a translation by somebody else; then, that it had been unsuccessful in England, and afterwards that It had been declined by every* other manager In New York.- It was scarcely necessary to eontradlot such statements at all. However, Mr. Fisk has' contradicted the last one by publishing letters from Mr. Wheatley and Mr. John Sefton, who were pre- sent when the play Was read over to Mr. Wallaok, whloh entirely settles the question touching rejec tion. Ab ler Its want of snocees In England, sup posing that Mr. Fisk had ever produced It there, thiswohld only prove that onr-English cousins are not after all such good judges of a play, and as to fits beiSjj a translation, that it oortalnlyja not, but Is a remarkablyffree and liberal .adaptation, for the talent .and grace of which Mr, Fisk Is alone respon stole.

The VlOB President and other prominent' members of the Administration were particularly Inquired for by suspected parties; and tbeir'preoise localities aoewsfely obtained, but providentially to their cases the scheme miscarried.” PABTICmnABS OP THE HTODBE. Washibgtow, Aprins —The excitement through out the city Is intense. Two gentlemen who went to apprise the Secretary or War of the attack on Mr. Lincoln met at thwresldenae or the farmer a man muffled to a cloak, who, when accosted by them, hastened away-without a word. Ithadbeen the Secretary’s Intention to accompany- Mr. Lin coln, and occupy the aamebox, but a press of busi ness prevented. It • therefore seems evident that the Mm of the plotters was to paralyze the oountry. by at once strlklng down the head and the arm of the country. 1 As soon as the dreadfnl -eveutwas annonaoed to the streets Superintendent Richards and hla assist ants were at work to dlsoover the assassin. In a -few moments the telegraph had’ aroused the whole police force of the city, Mayer Wallaoh and seve ral members of the city government were soon on the spot. Every measure of precaution was taken, to preserve order In the, olty, and every street was patrolled. At the request of Mr. Riohards, General Augnr sent horses to mount the polioe. Every road (tot of Washington was picketed: and every possible avenue of escape thoroughly guarded. The steamboats about to depart down the Potomac were stopped. - As it was suspected that the oonsplraoy originated In Maryland, the telegraph flashed the mournful news to Baltimore, and;all the cavalry was imme diately put upon active duty. Every road was picketed, and every jpreoautlon taken to prevent the escape of the assassins. A preliminary examtoa-. tlon was made by Mr. Richards and his assistants. Several persons were called to testify, and the evi dence, as elicited before an informal tribunal, and not under oath, was conclusive to this point, that the mdtddFer of the President was John Wilkes Booth. ' , His hat was found In the private box, and Identi fied by several persons who had seen him within the last two days, andthe spur Whloh he dropped by ac cident alter he jumped to the stage waß Identified as one of those whloh he had obtained from the sta. hie where he hired Ms horse. Booth has played more than once at Ford’s theatre, and is,-of course acquainted with lUßexlts and entrances, and the facility with-whloh he escaped behind the scenes is easily understood. The person who wounded Secretary Seward left behind Mm a slouched hat and an old rusty navy revolver. The ohambers were broken loose, as If done by striking. The loads were 'drawn from the' chambers, one being but a rough piece of lead, and the other ballsamallerthan the chambers, wrapped ’ in paper, as If to keep them from foiling oat. -., THB DVTNQ-SOBIfSS. • . ■ Washiwotob, April 16—11 A.

Now that a train of circumstantial evidence, so strong as to Induce Secretary Stanton In his de spatches to met tlon Wilkesßooth as'tha murderer of the President, has been made public, the antece dents of thls man are closely scrutinized. The recollections of all those who were acquainted with the erratic actor were stick sis to strongly point to him as a man who might commit such a crime A native of Harford: county, Maryland, he has long been a blatant and emphatio sympathizer with the rebel cause, and daring tee last lew month has re peatedly declared that he would like to kill the Presi dent. It is even asserted he declared that he carried In bis pocket a marked hall with which he meant to shoot Mr. Lincoln. It may be wondered at that such expressions should not have caused Ms arrest. But they were viewed by tee few loyal persons who heard them as the wIM-expreselons of a mere braggart —m sound and fury signifying nothing. Booth has been to 'Washington since tee last Presidential Inaugura tion—not playing to any theatre, nor engaging In any business, though he professed to be attending to Seme Interests in “ ooal lands.” -There Is but little doubt that be has been awaiting a suitable opportu nity to accomplish his act of murder.
