MR. ♦FD Mlas PoaTZß ' a BSSISFIT—This even
kg these highlymeritorious members of the company
offer their claim; for a benefit. Mr Porter has bees
long and favorably known to the ,citizens of Pitts
burgh, and be has secured their esteem not more by his
professional abilities then by his correct and gentle
manly deportment , in private life.
Miss Porter, his amiable dftughter, made her first
appearance in oar city, and during the present season
has become a leading favorite with all who visit the
Theatre. We hope they will receive, as their merits
richly deserve, a full and overflowing house.
IVondelfil Escape.—On the evening of the 17th
MrThomas S fel on!, a respectable citizen of Tits
cal. osa c.:unty, while in pursuit of his horse, fell into
wtlthetween 70 and 80 fort deep. He remained
there that night arid the next day. crushed by the fall
on bricks at the bottom. No person heard his cries
"for help; until a little boy, between sunset 'rid dark,
threw a dead pig into the well Mr Telford then
spike, and thenews soon spread. Rupee were brought
and Mr Joseph T Pearce, a worthy mechanic, descen
dedthe well with a rope fastened to his body, and fix
ing another rope round the chest cf Mr Telford, both
were drawn up. The Monitor states that Mr Telford
was alm at in the lust stage of exhaustion and suffer
ing. He had been in the well about twenty-three
hours, doubled up as he fell, unable to move his limbs.
lie was unable to stand or to move his legs—the con
cussion of his spinal nerves hail paralyzed him. He
was taken in a dwelling, where he received the atten
tion of several medical gentlemen, and the prospect of
his recovery is fair, though his extremities were still
tapid. Mr Tis fiftrone years of age, and the father
of sirchl dren. His preservation from a dreadful and
lingering death was truly providential, and had he not
been discovered, his disappearance would have beer.
a painful mystery.

labor. 1- will keep on hand a sufficient number to sup

its superior quality before I ask them to purchase.
Persons nutilying me from u distance by letter, cnn
ham Moves l ut up at any time, as I have wngotts to
carry them out; I thetefore invite Farmers sad all ',cr

RECOMMENDATIONS.
hers Afaasion Horse, Sept, 19, 1844.
MI. R. Dtkfl AVA K —Sir: I Lave 3n use ruse of Hath
sway's liot Air Coolting Stoves, which I got from you
last Spring. It affords me much pleasure to recom
mend it for its excellence. So far as my knowledge
extends, have no hesitation in saying it is the beet
nave now in use. I need not particularize its merits,
but would advise all diipo d to possess an article of
the kiwi, to adopt the best method of satisfying them
selves, that is, to trt it; and I doubt not they will be
satisfied. D. R. MILLER.
Washington Temperance Iksse,
rittburgi), Sepi. 19, 1844.
Mr. R. DoNAVON—Sin--I have bad in use for five
months. one of HathawayJs Hot Air Cooking Stoves,
and I have nu-hesitation in saying it is tho best store
now in we. The various kiwis of cooking it is calcu
lated to do at the same time. aad the small quantity
of furl required. mikes it an object worthy the linen
*Maul' ail who desire a good stove.
THOMAS VARNER.
W" 1 embrace this opporturi , y to recommend the
o Hot Air Cooking Stoves; I have used the one you pat
asp for me constantly sill summer, and I must say it is
n grand article. I believe it is superior to any other
stove now in use in this city. The oven bakes well,
and is largo enough to bake four large loaves of bread
at one time; it also co ,ks very speedily, and it requires
'MTN' le coal. Ithi nit them worthy the attention of all
wise wish a good stove; to such I would say, try them
and prove what they are.

R ••ri of the Committee of Cases submitted to the
edicated Vapor Bath, in Washington City,
TTH E Committee appointed to auperinted the use
uf the Bath in this city conceive that the time
is arrived when they ought to report more fully to the
public what they have now learned from experience
and observati of the real use and efficacy of the
Bath. They will detail nothinz but facts which have
came within their own knowledge. Since the bath
was opened it has been used by alleges from 7 years
to 70 and we believe in all cases it has been useful but
the most numinous class of cases in which it bus at.
forded almost immediate relief and in some complete
cure, are those of recent colds, theumatism, inflamed
eyes, eruptions of the skin, scrofulous swellings, and
general debility. A considerable number of patients
whose eyes were so diseased that they had been com
pelled to abandon their usual avocations for many
weeks and %hip had lawn sibjected to every other
mode of treatment without receivingrany relief have
been effectually cured by the bath in some cases by
three times using it and in others six oreight times.—
It has a remarkable effect of clearing the skin from
troublesome etuptiots and gives it a softness sad
freshness that is a striking indication of improved
health. FLENIING & BLACK,
