RRAHKAI .1. CLEMER, residing at 66, Mott
XI.;
_street, New York, was afflicted with Dyspepsia
in its tiostaNr.tvatld form. The symptoms were vi
*lent headache, great dchP,ity, fever, costiveno.is,cough,
heartburn, pain in thn chest and stomach always after
elating, impaired appetite, sensation of sinhinc at the
stomach, 'furred tongue, nausea, with frequent vomit
ings; dizziness towards night and restlessness. These
bad continued upwards of a twelvemonth, when, on
consulting Dr. Win. Evans, 100 Chatham :greet, and
submitting to his ever successful and agreeable mode
of treatment, the patient was completely restored to
bealthin the short space of one month, and grateful for
the incalculable benefit derived, gladly came forward

Battu Bargains than ever, at the Three Big
Doors.
rrHE subscriber would respectfully inform his ens
-IL tamers and the public generally, that notwithamd
fng the unprecedented sales at the Three Big Doors,
during tti r present season; he has still on hand the Tar
test and most varied assortment of elegant CLO-
TkIING that can be bought west of the mountains.—
The public may rest assured that all articles offered at
his store are maufactured from FRESH GOODS, pur
chased ilitha Eastern markets this spring and made in
to garments by Pitttsburgh workmen.
In eensequence of the multiplication of slop shops in
our city, filled with pawn brokers clothes and the musty,
cast offgarments of former seasons, from the eastern ci
ties, the public should be cautious to ascertain the char
acter of the establishments in which they are invited to
purchase, before they part with their money. The arti:
eles offered at several of the concerns in this city, are
the mere offals of New York and Philadelphia slop
shops, and sent out here to be palmed off on the Pitts
burgh public. Purchasers should be on their guard a
gainst these impositions, and they may rely on the fact
thane establishment that advertises cage rn made Clo-
thing, can give as good an article or as advantageous
bargains as can be had at the "Three Big Doors."
The public will please remember that all the subscri
ber's garments are made in this city, by competent work
men,
and not gathered up like the goods now offered by
the "birds of passage" from the shreds and patches of
easternalop shops. It will always be his endeavor to
maintain the reputation that the "Three Big Doors" '
have obtained for furnishing a superior style of CLO
-141,111NG in every respect, and at prices below those of
any other establishment.
He would again return his thanks to his friends and
the public for the unprecedented patronage bestowed
upon his establishment, and believing that they have
found it to their advantage to deal with him, he would
repeat his invitation to all those who wish to purchase
Clothing of every description at the lowest price,to call

FOE SAFETY,
Travellers should select Boats provided with
Evan's Safety Guards for preventing Explosion of
Steam Boilers.
TT would be well for the traveling community to
1 bear in mind that their security depends entirely
upon their own encouragement of boats that have or
ratty he at the expense of procuring the above appara
tux. And that every individual making such selec
tions is contributing towards a general introduction of
an invention admitted by all men who understand the
principles of the Steam Engine, to be a sure preventa
tive against those dreadful disasters. You have cer
wilily, in the hundreds of explosions. that have already
*alien place, -their eilmosv daily , occurrence, and the
thousands of lives that have alteady been lost, a suffi
cient warning, tied inducement to make inquiry for a
Safety guard Boat, a-el is every case to give it the
preference. They ha% e went to an additional expense
that your live.; may be secu re. Ought you not therefore
to meet them with a cormiponding degree of liberality,
and by your preference show that you appreciate their
laudable endeavors to stop this awful sacrifice of hu
man life. They do not charge more than other boats;
their accorumorlations in other respects are equal, and
its many cases superior; and as there is one leaving
Pits:burgh every day, why will you run any risk, when
it completely in your own power to avoid those dis
asters.
All boats marked ilias [ " ] in the List of Arrivals and
Departures, in another part of this paper, are supplied
with the Safety Guard.

CHINESE AGRICULTURE.
The greatest annual festival on which the lerven**
appears in his sacredotal character, is that of !be Odes
bration of the season of spring, which takes plaraseiscos
the middle of February, and is one of those - and= do
servations that help to preserve the priatitiveaberaiter
of this nation. It is then that the Emperor the

lemnitius on the part of the Emperor, and wh o
were to assist at the sacririces—su c h a.s fasting fur throw
days until the evening of each, and abstaining item
kinds of amusement during that period.
Early on the morning of the festival, the _Emperor,
attended by the great oltcers of S tate, repairs to the tete
ple of the Earth, where he makes sacrifices and implores
a blessing on the labors of the spring, that they may
produce a plentiful harvest; and when those rites aro
ended, he descends from the t•nnple into the field, where
all the requisite preparations have been made by forty
or fifty husbandmen who are in attendance. The Em.
nerur phmulis a fee fUrrC;VS w-itil his own hands, and
sows five sects el a - rain; al:le:which, twelve grandees ci

is completed by tire professional husbandmen, each et
whom receives a present of a pince of Nanking cloth..—•
Thc produce Gf this field is held sacred, and carefully
preserved in a granary by itself, to be used for the 11291 t
solemn sacrifices.
The plowdring, by the imperial husbandmen takes
place only in the capital; but in every large city a cere
mony is performed, called "meeting in the spring,"
when the Governor assumes the character of high priest,
and goes out in a state, carried in a finely ornamented
sedan-chair preced ,, d hi banners, lighted tordles and
music. He is followed by several mandarins in their
salsas, and by a number of fitters, in which are placed
children who are fancifully dressed and crowned with
flowers, representing various dchies connected with the
labors of the field. But the mist prominent figure a

At the conclusion of the lecture he strikes the buffalo
three times with a staff, when it is immediately broken
in pieces by the populace, and a number of little porce

a scramble. The rest of the day is devoted to amuse

suit of agriculturv, so essential to the support of the em
pire. And, as the Emperor in Fcrson plough the land
and sows the seed, so the Empress also performs her
part to encourage another most important branch of in.

We learn from the Galveston Civilian that the naval

The whole of the M.2xican forces have left Yucatan--
the last having gone off unexpectcdlv in the night. The
Civilian says they were unable to obtain any additional
news of importance by the arrival.
The Houston Telegraph states that it was currently
reported that the President had=ted Col. S. NU:
hams and Gail Borden, Jr., of ton, Commis:ion.
ers to negotiate with Santa Anna, relative to the ad
justment of the difficulties between Texas and Mexico.
The Texas paper:, in their discussion of the proposition
of peace, appear to place little_ reliance en the si:rarity
of Santa Anna.
Islntoss.—The Houston Telegraph of the I.2th atm

they killed a Mexican while at work, a few yards [turn
the Alamo. Capt. Hays started, with thirty into, in
pursuit of the Indians--believed to be the Camanches.
The traders state that there was no regular Mexican
