Professor Webster"* Case.
, BOSTON, July C.
The Committee on Pardons will hohl a
session on Monday next, uiitl tho parties
have been roip 'ted to appear betore tlicm,
and present nil the documents tit-y intend to
offer in the case, and a hearing will ho gran
ted to any argument they tqpy choose to
make as their final one.
It is generally understood that 0111Y ol the
questions submitted to three eminent cur
goons, \vaJ whether with such a slick as that
described in the confession, a stable blow
could be given, which wWv.M causa death in
ten minutes, in tho manner described. Tho
answer was that it was inprobablo. Tli t
two other questions r.ro also stated to have
boon answered adversely to the confession.
Another point of doubt is, that the sink in
tho room where the confession stales that
tho body was dismembered, does not eon
tain a stop-cock lor Cochiluatc water. The
confession states that tho Coohittiaio water
was turned upsn tho body in this sink.

DAKINO HIGHWAY ROBBERIES AND Anr.ESTOV
THE ROBBERS. —On Monday night week tho
store of Mr.'Jacob Berdes, in this Borough,
was entered and robbed. On tho following
night the s'oro of Mr. S. Black, on tho Ila
zleton Turnpike, was entered in Lire man
ner. On Friday afternoon Mr. Marx Strouse
a merchant of otir town, re'urfted homo and
reported that ho had bec.i stopped a few
miles hack on the 1 ante rot.!, and bis money
demanded, aid his life threatened by two
men with loaded pistols. O.i Saturday night
several trunks were cut from the boot of the
mat! stageiti tho same neighborhood, ami
robbed ot their contonto. Those reports
coming upon tiio publio began to create 110
Title alarm and uneasino.-ts. On Sunday last.
Air. Samne! L. Cellurn, a Constable from
Maueh Chunk, was stopped upon the Ilazle
ton Turnpike between Drum's ami the
Spring House tavern, by two foot pads who
robbed him of fifty do lars. Mr. Kellum had
noticed at the spring House, a number of
young men with rifles practising at mark.—
Ho hastened to tho house, secured their ser
vices. traced the robbers to a piece of wood,
and there arrested them. They wero pronqt
!y taken before Mr. Justico Drumholier, of
Sugarloaf .ownship, and committed by him
to tho Jail of this county. The were bro't
to our Borough and placed in confinement,
where thoy wero at onco recognized by Mr.
Strouso as tho same men who robbed him
on Friday last. They were brought before
Justice Burrows on Monday morning and re
committed by him upon the latter charge.—
They are active, suspicious looking young
rascals, neith r of them apparently having
reached the age of twenty-one. They gave
their names as Charles Dunlnp and John
Thompson, and nro doubtless from one of
the cities, probably old offenders for their
ago. Thcyjure probably the same men who
robbed tho two stores mentioned obovo, at.d
also the stage, as a part of the clothing in
the plundered trunks was found upon them.
In committing those bold robberies they
used tho most savage and threatening l.u -
gungo—Their arrest is fortunate, and too
much praise cannot be awarded to Mr. Kd-
lum, for his promptness in , ursuing thoni
•after they had robbed him. With this addi
tion, the Jail is made a perfect hive of LUT
dened reprobates, and it will be fortunajl"
indeed if they can ba safely held urgii the
Penitentiary claims its fugitives.—H'ilacsbar

For tlm speedy cure of Diarrhoea. Dyson- ]
lory, Cholcn li/ilntum, Cholera Morbus, all
summer complaints, Cnolic, Flatulency, and
all derangements of tho stomach and bow
els from teething, &e.
Thousands die annually v.'i.h diseases of
the stomach and bowels from neglect. A
mong the numerous remedies both public &
i rivnte, ici oarinioiuled for the above diseases
none are equal to the Cordial. A ears ot ex
pi'Lcice and trials made with it in hundreds i
i t cases, superadded to the voluntary tesli- .
mony horn physicians and others, gives it a i
character not to be unheeded by ihosecher
ishing tho wtdfare of themselves and chil
dren. Speedily subduing the pain and in
flammatory tone icy, allaying irritability of
the stomach, and constraining unhealthy e
vacuatioiis, its operation is prompt and ef
fectual
That it will euro, and has cured, the worst
form of disease of the stomach and bowels,
read the following evidence :
Philadelphia. June 1, 1819.
Dr. J. N. Kccler —l received your no'.e this
morning asking for information as to the dis
tribution I made ot the package of cordial
you put into my possession while in com
mand of the U. Slates transport during the
Mexican - .ar According to your direction a
part was distributed m Vera Cruz, tho other
1 kept for the use ,ny seamen and others
on board, beliving I should have use for it,
as I had on board frequently from one to
tiireo hundred persons, and that many when
leavii .; Mexico would be on the sick list.—
Such was the fact, for Dysentery and Diarr
hoea extensively prevailed ; I used the cor
dial freely, and in not a single instance do I
recollect of its havir.g failed to cure. My
own crew would often be attacked with Di
arrhoea, Dysenlerry, &c. peculiar to nearly
a.'J after getting on shore and eating fruit and
ve-'etaMes : in all such cases the cordial did
no? fail to C'ire epeedily
When In Neil' Orleans, a friend informed
mo of a Philadelphia flteiitlcinan, S Church
man Esq, who wass.Tk with the Dysentery,
ami despaired of by his o'petor 1 mention
ed having a bottle or so of y<?ur eoi'thal 1
I sent it to him, anil in a few days I had the
pleasure of Beeing him well, I can gtv e J' 011
many names and testimonials of the efficacy
of your cordial il necessary. I liavo given
it to one ship master of this port, in particu
lar Capl Whipple, ship Monongahel i, and he
informed me he would not be without it I
think it is tho safest and best medicine that 1
have ever known to be used in affections of
the stomach and bowels.
I remain yours res ectfully,
lJ D Wilcox, 2SB S Eighth street

Dear Sir —I am now prepared to recom
mend your cordial from having used it with
success in several instances, anu I am now
trying your S.vsaparilia Panacea in a case of
protracted debility, attended with cough, ap
parently produced in the young lady by her
•outgrowing her strength,' to use a commou
phrase. Yours, A KARLE, M I)
From the Upland Union.
We aro as little disposed as most persons
to encourage appeals to law or medicine, but
with all tho legerdemain of the first, and tho
ignorance and qiiakory of the last, appeals
must occasionally bo made to both. The
excessive heat and the aecompaning pro
ductions ol the sea.'on are already producing
Diiirrluna, Dysentery and holera Infantum,
complaints which if not promptly relieved
produce great debility and frequent death.
I'rom.a knowledge of its beneficial effects,
we tefer to I)r. Keeler's Cordial and Crrmin
ative," advertised in this paper. Dr. Koelor
is a physician of intelligence, skill, and large
practice, and if the remedies ami common
tln'.iciis of medical aulhoritv arc
ponded on the adove named article will be
found useful in the complaints referreffto.
ITT Also Dr. Keeler's Sarsaparilla, a med
icine of great efficacy in freeing the system
from all diseases arising from impurities of
the blood, in chronic diseases of the chest,
stomach liver and skill it is of great benefit.
Females suffering with nervus debility loss
of appetite, costiveness, pains of the chest,
functional obstructions will find a positive
cure in the Sarsaparilla. I# See pamphlets.
