General Winfield Scott, who is now stopping at West Point, met with a severe accident last week, which may confine him to his bed for some time. He was about at tending a dinner party given by Colonel De lafield, when, on going down the stairs, his foot slipped and he fell to the bottom. Ow. ing to the bullet in his shoulder and the swordtwound in his arm, he was unable to arrest his flight, and the fall was severe. To a person of his advanced years and large frame this is ' a most serious affair. The General was taken to his bed, cupped and leeched, and though he feels better, he is still suffering intense pain. This accident to the old General will be regretted throughout the country. -M-A-E-R-I-E-D At the residence of the bride's father on the S9lh ult, by Rev. N, L. Reynolds, Mr.CHAS. L.

Colds, Sorb Throat, Hoarseness, Bronchitis. Spit tinq or Blood, Pain in the Breast,. Croup, Whooping Cough, and every form of Pulmonary Complaint, that it were a work of supererogation to speak of its merits. Discovered by a celebrated physician more than twenty years since, it has by the wonderful cures it has effected been constantly appreciating in public favor, until its use and its use and its reputation aro alike universal; and it is now well known and cherished by all (and their “name is legion”) who have been restored to health by its use as the Great Remedy for all tho diseases which it professes to cure. Sir James Clarke, physician to Queen Victoria, has given it as his opinion that CONSUMPTION CAN BE C VRED. The whole history of this medicine fully confirms the opin ion of that eminent man. Thousands can te«tify, and have testified, that when ail other remedies had failed, this had completely cured: that when the sufferer had well nigh des paired, this bad afforded immediate relief; that when the physician had pronounced the disease incurable, this has re moved itentirely. The virtues of this Balsam are alike applicable to cure a slight cojd or a CosmtMßD Consumption, and its power as a safe, certain, speedy, pleasant and effectual remedy cannot be equalled. ftjUCvcnoNf Purchase none unless it has the written signature of “I.

An old estate has recently been opened for sale, and the first division of 10,000 acres divided up into farms of twenty acres and upwards. The soil is of the best quality for the production ot fruits, grains, 4c. The price is $l5 to $2O per acres, pay able In easy quarter yearly instalments, within a term of four years with interest. The terms are made easy, In order to insure the rapid improvement of the land, by enabling every industrious man to buy a farm. It is now being ex tensively Improved by good roads, and some of the best citi zens from New England and the Middle States arc^ erecting large improvements. It is a scene of the greatest improve ment out of Philadelphia. Seventy-five houses have been built in four months. Practical farmers and business men from the length and breadth of the Union ore settling there. It is on important business place, on account of its being In the midst of a great market. Every article raised upon this land finds an immediate sale. The water is cxcellec t, and no such thing as fever is known. The soil is a sandy or clay loam, with a clay bottom and retentive of manures. It is free of stones and easily worked It abounds largely in the phosphates, and each is its fertility that from the crops produced both upon this land and the large area adjoining under cultivation, it will be fonnd not to be excelled anywhere imtbe production of crops most adapt ed to its market. The reader may be well aware that the earliest and the best fruits and vegetables come from New Jersey, which are annually exported to tho amount of millions of dollars. The land, besides being accessible in every way for fertilizers, has an abundant supply of the best quality of muck manure. Lumber and building materials can be had on the spot at a cheap price, from the mills. Other mills are now being open ed, and brickyards being started on the ground. A person can pdt up a frame tenement for present convenience for one hundred dollars. On account of tho extensive emigration, this Is 1 , tlie best course to pursue in order to get a place to Uve In at first. Carpenters and builders are on hand to put np houses on the best terms. lu settling hero the emigrant has many advantages. Be is within a few hours’ ride of the great cities In the Middle States and New England; he is near bis old friends and as sociations ; he is in a settled country, where every improve ment and comfort of civilization is at band; he is in a healthy place, and is not subject to the certainty of losing the greater part of his family and Uia own health by those malignant fevers which make the graves of so many millions of young and hardy in far off regions away from home and friends.— Besides, ho has a mild climate nnd an open winter. There arc three trains daily to Philadelphia, and to all those who Improve tho Railroad company gives a free ticket. The reader will at once be struck with the advantages here presented, and ask' himself why the property has not been token np before. The reason in, it was never thrown in the market; and unless these statements were correct, no one would be invited to examine tho land before purchasing.— This all are expected to do. They will see the land under cultivation; they will meet persons no doubt from their own neighborhood; they will witness the improvements, and can judge of tho character of the population. Persons should come prepared to purchase, as many are locating, and loca tions are not held on refusal.
