SINGULAR PHXNOMENON.— Oswego, June 5. During the thunder storm, yesterday, the Lake suddenly rose three feet, and aa sud denly fell again. The phenomenon waa re peated several times, oansing vessels to be forced rapidly from their moorings, and cre ating a general commotion in the harbor. I* Holloway's Pills, the most powerful Remedy for all disorders affecting the intes tines.—These Pills ara pronounced without hesitation by all who have tried them to be one of the most efficacious remedies ever made known, they act so directly upon the affected parts that it is impossible any dis ease of tbe stomach or bowels can resist 'their searching influence, and so they thor oughly pass through and cleanse the system, removing all trace* of disease. It is a remar kable fact, that these I'ills seldom fail to re store the patient to health even after every other remedy has been used unsuccesslully. ~ flLam&asißa ~ 7 _On the 29th of May, by John C.

TMOTICE is hereby given that letters of ad * w ministration upon the estate of Henry Gigger, late of Montour township, Columbia county, deceased, have been granted to the undersigned residing in Montour township.

Montour, June 7, '56-6w. The only Safe which, in every instance, preserved the entire contents at the late Extensive Fires. AT THE BURNING OF THE ARTIZAN BUILDJNGS, Aptil lOlb, and in the great fire in Market Street, May Ist, 1856, the gen uine HERRING SAFE preserved the Jewelry of George W. Simms k Bro.; Books, Papers &c. of Fisher & Bro. and Edward Setnans & Co., after remaining evpnsod in iha burning ruins for nearly Forty Hours, and proving conclu sively what we have always claimed for them, their great supericiity over all securi ties known. In these fires, ihe HERRING'S SAFE, standing side by side with those advertised as "warranted to stand 10 percent, more fire than Herring's,"came forth the acknowledg ed victor, not only preserving their contents in excellent order, but being themselves in a condition to go through another ordeal, while the boasted "Salemanders" of other makers were badly used op in every instance, and -in some cases their entire contents completely destroyed. To tbe psblic we would simply say, that, during the fourteen years of tbe Herring's Safe has been before them," more than two hundred have passed through accidental fires without the occurrence of a single loss. We would, therefore, caution purchasers against Ihe misrepresentation of interested parties. The Herring's Patent is the only Fire-proof Safe made in this city which is protected by a Patent Right, and we will guarantee it to resist more than double the amount of heat of any other Safe now known.

RHODES, Esq.: Dear Si:—As I look your medicine lo sell on consignment, "no cure no pay," I lake pleasure in staling its ef fects as reported lo mebyihree brothers who live in this place, and their testimony is a fair specimen of alt 1 have received. VV. S. CONK LIN told me—"l had taken nine bottles of Christie's Ague Balsam, and continually run down while using it until rr.y lungs and liver were congested lo that degree that blood discharged from my mouth and bowels, so that all thought it impossible for me to live through another chill. The doctors too dW all they could Tor me, but thought I must die. Nothing did me any good until I got Rhodes' Fever and Ague Cure, which at once relieved mo of the dis tress and nausea at njy stomach and pain in my head and bowels, and produced a perma nent cure in a short time." H. M. CONKLIN says—"l had been tak ing medicine of as good a doctor as we have in our country, and taken ail,' Quantity of quinine and specifics without any good result, Irom 25th August to 17th December. But seeing how nicely it opeiated on my brother, I got u bottle of Rhode's Fever and Ague Cure, which effected a permanent cure by using two thirds of a bottle." S. M. CONKLIN was not here, but both the other brothers say his case was the same as H. M's. I sold Hie medicine lo both the same day, and the cute was as speedy from the same small quantity, and 1 might so spe cify. Yours with respect, A. HUNTINGTON. The above speaks for itself. Good proof as it is, it is of no better tenor than the vast number of like certificates I have already published, and "the still greater amount that is continually pouring in to me. One thing mote. Last year 1 had occasion to caution the public in these words: "I notice one firm who have taken one of jny generel circulars, substituted the name of their ifostrum for my medicine, and then with brazen impudence end their pamphlet with the exclamation, 'Let the Proprietor of any other medicine say as-TfiuefrTlTie dares,' &c. fee. Now I take pleasure in ssying that the Caujion referred lothe same "Dr. Christie's Ague Balsam" that is mentioned in the above certificate. , Theie are several other industrious people who are applying to their poisonous trash all that 1 publish about my Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote lo Malaria, except the cer tificates of cures, and the certificate of the celebrated Chemist, Dr. James R. Chilton, of New York, in favor of its perfectly harm less character, which is attached to every bottle. These will always serve to distin guish my medicine from imitations. JAS. A.
