Spier ■ Correspondence.
A Tbce Wife.—We are assured by a
frend who is personally cognizant of whai
ha slates, that (he following piquant corres
pondence is genuine. A gentleman whose
business call him a good deal from home, is
accustomed to give the custody of bis cor
respondence to his wife, an intelligent lady,
who, in obedience to instructions, opens all
i j e uers that come in her husband’s absence ;
[ answers sue h of them as she can, like a con
: /idential clerk, and forwards the rest to her
liege lord at such places ps he may have
designated at his departure. During a recent
absence of her husband, the lady received
a letter, of which the following (omitting
names, dales and places,) is a true copy;
“My Dear Sir: I saw a fine picture of
you yesterday, and fell in love with it, ns 1
did with ihe original in W last winter,
when I saw you more than an hour, though
I suppose you did not see me among so many.
I fear you will think me forward in thus ad
dressing you ; but I trust you are so noble
and unsuspecting as you are handsome and
brilliant. Perhaps you would I'ke to know
something about me—your ardent admirer!
Well, I am not very good at description, but
I will say I am not married, (though you are,
lam told.) My friends tell me I have not a
pretty face, but only a good figure. lam
rather petite, have black ..eyes, black hair
and a dark complexion—that is, I am what
is called a I am stopping for a
few weeks with my brother-in-law and sister
in this town, and I dearly w*ish you would
meet me there before 1 return to W .
At any rale, do not fail to write me at least a
few words to tell me whether I shall ever
see you again, and know you more inti
mately. Forgive my boldness and believe
me, Your friend,—:: .”
To this toiler thewife, who by the by, has
not the least knowledge of ihe person to
whom she was writing, made the following
answer
“Mademoiselle : Yonr letter of the
inst., addressed to Mr. —, was duly re
ceived. Mr. , who is my husband,
directed me, when he left home some days
ago, to open all his letters, and to answer
any of them that I conveniently, could. As
you seem to be rather impatient, I will
answer your letter myself. [do nol think
your description of yourself will please
Mr. . I happen to know that he dis
likes black eyes, and hales brunettes most
decidedly. It is quite true (as you seem to
suppose) that he judges of women as he does
of horses ; but Ido not think your inventory
)f your ‘poimV is complete enough to be
satisfactory to him. You omit to mention
your height, weight, wind, speed, and (here
the word is illegible.] Taking your charms
at your own estimate, I doubt whether they
will prove sufficiently attractive to draw him
so far a B merely for the satisfaction of
comparing them .with the schedule. You
say you trust my husband is “unsuspecting.”
I think that is his nature, but yet he is used
to drawing inferences, which are sometimes
as unkind as suspicious. You say you are
unmarried. My advice to you is that you
marry somebody as soon as possible. In
most cases, .[«'woulil noi recommend busier
but in yoursyT'am convinced there is truth
in the proverb-which speaks of the danger of
ielay. Should you be so fortunaie as to get
i husband (which may God mercifully
pant!) my opinion is that you will consider
ny woman, who should write him such a
alter as this of yours, impertinent, and, per
iaps, immodest.
“I will deliver your note to Mr. when
is returns, also a copy of my reply which I
msure he will approve. I am, with as much
ppect as you permit, Mbs.
[ This was tbe end of the correspondence.
Arrest ol Gen. Walker.
Gen. William . Walker arrived in New
ork last week, as a prisoner, in charge of
oiled Slates officers. He was arrested with
is men on the 7lh inst., at Puma Arenas,
y Commodore Paulding, who.look posses
°n of him, and of his men as pirates and
Hilaws. The men have been sent to Nor
ilk, and Walker is to be banded over to the
ederal Courts, to be dealt with according to
tw. His previous experience under similar
ircumstances justifies the belief that he will
scape without any punishment whatever,
ome fifty of his men still remain in Cen
al America, under Col. Anderson. This
tree was landed from the Fashion at the
oulh of the. Colorado, and proceeding up
to rivert.-made themselves masteia of the
trial Castillo Rapids and the river boats;
tere they still remain waiting for reinforce
enls, which are not likely soon to reach
iem.
i With this event Walker’s career as a fiilli.
ister leader is probably ended ; though we
usl say that such an end by no means does
slice to the cruel, sanguinary and ruffianly
taracter which he has exhibited throughout,
is opportunities have been limited, but it
nuld be difficult to find in history a more
larlless and inhuman villain. His abilities,
twever, do not keep pace with his ambition ;
id the junta of Southern propagandists who
nt him out on the present expedition long
i° determined to deprive him of all real
■''cr, and to give the actual control of their
■erprise to Gea. Henningsen. That per
■age is undertood to have been at Wasb-
Ht°n for some lime past endeavoring to
Bt'j 0 1 e consent of the Administration to
• departure from Mobile with a force of
P*. men. l n this endeavor he is sustained

■paganda, having lost Kansas, naturally

m tropical regions of Central America.

months. He knew what it was to press a
measure through. Congress with a formidable
opposition to confront ; and the people of
Kansas might rest perfectly easy in his un
qualified assurance that they could not be
dragged into the Union under the Lecompton
Constitution previous to the middle of July,
This is authentic.
A well-to-do far.mer of Springport, N. Y.,
three years ago, bad a little altercation with
his wife, and while conversing with her look
up a pail to go after soma water. His long
absence awakened the fears o( his wife, who
suspected at once that he had made an end
of his life by throwing himself into the well.
The well was accordingly searched but the
husband was not found. The friendly neigh
bors industriously sought for but found no
traces of him. Last week while his family
were at tea, the missing husband walked into
theroom with the pail of waler.in his hand,
put it into its usual place, and sal down to ihe
table as if nothing had happened. He had
been gone just three years after his pail of
water, and had visited California and Austra
lia, and had “turned up” again with a hand
gome little fortune in his pocket.

BamPTELD, aiASS, 20th Dec., 1855.
Da J'C Axaa; I do not hesitate to say the
beat remedy I hare ever found for Coughs,
Hoarseness, Influenza, and the concomitant
symptoms of a Cold, Is yonr Cherry Pectoral.
Its constant use in my practice and my fam
ily for the last ten years baa shown it to pos
sess superior virtues for the treatment of
these complaints. EBEN KNIGHT, M. D.
A B MOBTLET, Esq-, of Utica, N. T., writes. - used
year Pectoral myself and in my family ever since yon Invent*
ed it, and believe it the best medicine for its purpose ever put
out. With a bad cold I should sooner pay twenty-five dollars
for a bottle than do without it, or take any othhr remedy."
Croup, Whooping Cough, Influenza.
Springfield, Miss* Feb. 7,1556.
Brother A ter : I will cheerfully certify your Pectoral is
. the best remedy we possess for tho cure of Whooping Congb,
Croup, and the rbest diseases of children. Wo of your fra
ternity in the South appreciate vour skill, and commend vour
medicine to our people. ' HIRAM CONKLIN, M.’D.
AMOS LEE, Esq.. Monterey, la* writes, 3d Jan., 1856:
“I had a tedious Influenza, which confined me in doors six
weeks; took many medicines without relief; finally tried
your Pectoral by the advice of our clergyman. The first dose
relieved the soreness in my throat and iung&; less than ono
ha I lf the bottle mode mo completely well. Your medicines
are the best as well as the cheapest we can buy, and we es
teem you, Doctor, and your remedies, as the poor man's
fripnd.”

Sift: Tour Cherry Pectoral is performing marvellous cures
in this section. It has relieved several from alarming symp

bored under an affection of the lungs for the last forty years.
HENKY L. PAHKS, Merchant.
A A RAMSEY, W d, Albion, Monroe Co., lowa, writes, Sept.
6, 1555: “During my practice of many years .1 have found
nothing equal to your Cherry Pectoral for giving ease and re
lief tq consumptive patients, or curing such as arc curable.”
Wo might add volumes of evidence, bat the most convinc
ing proof of the virtues of this remedy Is found is its effects
upon trial.
Consumption.
Probably no one remedy has ever been known which cured
so many and such dangerous cases as this. Some no human
aid can reach; but ereu to those the Cherry Pectoral affords
relief and comfort.
Asroa HorsErNcw Toss Cnr, March 5,185/5.
Doer. Arxa, Lowell: I feel It a duty and a pleasure to in
form you what your Cherry Pectoral has done for my wife.-
She bad been five months laboring under the dangerous symp
toms of Consumption, from which no aid we conld procure
gave her much relief. She was steadily failing, until Dr
Strong, of this city, where we have come for advice, recom
mend a trial of your medicine. Til: bless bis kindness, os
wo do your skill, for she hns recovered from that day. She
Is not yet os strong os she used to bo, but is free from her
congh, and calls herself well.

ITER’S CATHARTIC PULS.
THE sciences of Chemistry and Medicine have been taxed
their utmost to produce thi» best, most perfect purgative
which is known to man. Innumerable proofs are shown that
these Pills have virtues which surpass in excellence the ordi
nary medicines, and that they win unprecedentedly upon the
esteem of nil men. They arc safe and pleasant to take, but
powerful to cure. Their penetrating properties stimulate the
vital activities of the body, remove the obstructions of its
organs, purify the blood, and expel disease. They purge out
the foul humors which breed and grow distemper, stimulate
aiaggfeh or disordered organs into their natural action, and
import healthy tone with strength to tho whole system. Not
jlicy core the every-day complaints of every body,
buttuso formidable and dangerous diseases that have baffled
the best of human skill. While they produce powerful effects
they are at the game time, in diminished do»e*, the safest and
beat physic than can be employed for children. Being sugar
coated, they are pleasant to take; and being purely vegetable
are free from any .risk of harm. Cures have been made which
surpass belief were they not substantiated by men of such
exalted position* and character as to forbid the suspicion of
untruth. Many eminent clergymen and physicians have lent
their naraee to certify to the publin the reliability of my rem
edies, ufaile others have sent me the assurance of their con
viction that my Preparations contrihutoimmcnsely to the re
lief of my afflicted, suffering fellow-men.
The Agent below named is pleased to furnish gratis my
American Almanac, containing directions for their use ami
certificates of their cures, of tho following complaints ;
Cobtivoness Bilious Complaints, Rheumatism, Dropsy,
Heartburn/ Headache arising from a fool stomach, Nausea,
Indigestion, Morbid Inaction of the Bowels and Pain arising
therefrom, Flatulency, Loss of Appetite, all Ulcerous and
Cutaneous Diseases which require an ovacuant medicine.
Scrofula or King’s .Evil, They also, by purifying the blood
and atirntzlating the ejatem, eotv mtmy evnpM&M which It
would not bo supposed they could reach, such as Deafness,
Partial Blindness, Neuralgia and Nervous Irritabilitv, De
rangements of the Liver and Kidneys, Gont,und other kin
dred complaints arising from a low state of tho body or ob
struction of its functions.
Do.not be put off by unprincipled dealers with pome other
pill they make more profit on. Auk for Ayer’s Pills, and take
nothing cUe. No other they can give you compares with this
in its intrinsic value or curative powers. The sick want tho
boat aid there is for them, and they should have it.

BUCHU LEAVES are procured from the south*
ern part of A/rica. The Holientol* «l Ihe
cape of Good Hope have long usfed this article as a
remedy in a variety of diseases, from ihem llio
medicine was borrowed by the English and Dutch
physicians residing ihcrc and by their recommend,
alien it was voon employed in Europe. In p«oce*s
of time this medicine has come into general use,
and is highly spoken of by the best mcdkal writers.
Physicians recommend it mostly for complaints of
Ihc urinary organs, such as gravel, a mdrlnd irrita
tion of the bladder and urethra, retention of urine,
also incontinence of urine from want of tone in lh«
urinary organs. It cools the unnatural heal und
relieves pain ; and in many cases of long standing
it has been effectual when other valuable medicines
had failed to produce an effect. The active princi.
plo of (his medicine is a volatile oil which is mostly
lost by the old process ol boiling. Hence it requirts
great care and skilful management, to prepare this
medicine properly.
FLUID EXTRACT OF BUCHU is a Strong or
concentrated preparation prepared by the new
process called 1 Displacement.*’ By this the valua
ble properties of the Buchu are entirely preserved,
and this form of the medicine is less liable to injury
from age and more palateabje. Useful equally in all
cases of the kind whether male or; female, price,
75 cents per bottle. For sale at'Roy’s Drug- and

Charles O. Etz of Tioga
Village would respccliully call the attention of the
public lo the following advertisement. “Man want*
but little here below nor wants that little iono-” is
an old saying and perhaps true to a certain extent
But it seem" to me that in this lime of general
suspension and panic, everything is tending to a
reversion of time-honored sayings, and everybody
wants a liiilc more still The farmers (and they
really ought to have as much as anybody, for they
are lo our country what a main spring is to a watch,)
wants a little more for ilicir wheat, buckwheat,rye,
corn, oals r potatoes, &c., than the purchaser feels
able and willing lo pay. The merchant wants a
JiitJ® more for his Floor* Pork, Saif, I>ry Goods,'
Boots & Shoes, Hats &. Cops, Hardware, Crockery
and ten thousand little things he has to sell than
the farmer thinks he ought lo pay.
At ihw present lime H feems to be conceded by
all that the cash Value of good wheat is 31 per
bushel; buckwheat, 2 lo 2-6; corn 3-6 to 4-6;
outs, 2 lo 2-6; butter, 14 to 1C cent's. Now to
equalize the matter and make It satisfactory on both*
sides, I want and will agree to take from every
farmer of Tioga county, all the wheat I can get
for the next 60 days at 9 and 10 shilling* per bush
el according to quality; buckwheat a*. 2-6 to-3;
