111 Ater Bargains than ever, at the Three Dig
Doors.
HEI7I subscriber would r.3spect fully inform his ens
-IL turners and the public generally, that notwith stad
leg the uaprecelentzd sales at the Three Big Doors,
during the present 3C11.3014 he has still on hand the lar
gest and most varied assortment of elegant CLO
' THING that can be bought west of the mountains.—
The public may rest assured that all articles offered at
his store are m'ufactured from FRESH GOODS, pur
chnsod in tha Eastern markets this spring and made in
to garnlnitts by Pitttsburgh workmen.
In consequence of the multiplication of slop shops in
our city, filled with pawn brokers clothes and the musty,
earth ff gunnents of former seasons, from the eastern ci
ties, the public should be cautious to ascertain the char
acter orthe establishments in which they arc invited to
purchase, before they part with their money. The art i-
cles offered at several of the concerns in this city, are
the mere offals of New York and Philtvielphia slop
chops, and sent oet here to be palmed off on the Pitts
burgh public. Purchasers shot , a be on their guard a
gainst these impositions, and they may rely on the fact
that no establishment that advertises eastern made Clo
thing, can give as good an article or as advantageous
bargains as can be had at the "Three Big Doors."
The pnblic - will please remember that all the subscri
ber'sgartnents aro malein this cif y,hv competentwnrk
men, and not gath^red up like the goods now offered by
the "birds of passage" from the shreds and patches of
eastern slop shops. It will always he his endeavor to
maintain the reputation that the "Three Big Doors"
7 " have obtained for furnishing a superior style of CLO
THING in every respect, and at prices below those of
e nv other establishment.
woulclagain return his thanks to his friends and
"the publicfor 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

Beware of a Settled Cough!

This is to certify, that I hid a very severe Cough all
last winter; and was very much reduced. After trying
medical aid to no purpose, I was advised to procure a
bottle of Dr. M'Lane s Lung Syrup; it gave me relief
immediately, and in two weeks 1 was able to go out,

A POET'S ACCOUNT OF WITCHES, ETC.
In conversing with a friend recently, who is a most
decided unbeliever in the supernatant', he Mentioned
a fact of his own experience. Awaking one night
(torn sleep, he sash distinctly before him, looking
through the thick wall pf darkness, an eye, intensely
bright, large, luminous, and with an expression of ter•
rible malignity. He rose up in his bed, and, being a
man of firm nerve, looked calmly at the singular appit.
rition. It seemed slowly to approach him, until it
rested just at the foot of his bed, where its demon glare
gradually faded into the darkness. Had my friend
lived two centuries ago, instead of regarding it as art
optical allusion, he would have called in the priest to
dislodge the evil spirit.

shape of a small man in a leather dress. The Gene.
ml's house was once burned, in revenge, it is said, by
the fiend, whom the other had outwitted. He had
agre'd, it seems, to furnish the General with a boot
full of gold and silver, poured annually down the
chimney. The shrewd Yankee cut off, on one beta•
sion, the foot of the boot, and the devil kept pouring
down the coin From the chimney's top, in a vain at•
tempt to fill it, until the room was literally packed
with the precious metal. When the General died, he

day of the funeral, on opening the lid, his body was not
to be seen: and the neighbors came to the charitable
conclusion that the enemy had got his own at last.

Whoever has seen Great Pond, in the east parish or
Haverhill, has seen one of the lovliest of the thousand

over the surrounding verdure like altars of a giant
