f Mo Caxb. We are lucky ! A few day
since a bright little face appeared at our door
and delivered us a package, which, upon being
Opened, proved to be another excellent cake
ent us by some unknown fair one. . We ten
det the donor our hearty thanks, and exp rcss
the hope that she may succeed in doing nil
other things as well as she succeeded in mak
ing the aforesaid cake !

The heat for several days during the past week
was intense, and well calculated to test one's
powers of endurance.
Tax Yearly County Association of the Keg
nlar Baptists, was held in this place, during
tie past week. There was preaching on Fri
day, Saturday and Sunday, and considerable
interest manifested, among the ministers and

house ef worship, during the ensuing sum

having a good likeness of themselves, or
friends, can procure the desired object, by cal
ling at Mr. Purvianee's Gallery at his resi
dence, on 2d street.
Co-part.xership. It will be seen, by reler-
ing to the new advertisements in to-days Jonr
nal, that a partneiship has been entered into,

no doubt, an excellent physician, and well

On the 11th of Jnne, ir.st., by the Rev.

Mr. Crittenden, of Ky., submitted a rcso
lution to the Senate of the T". S., Juno 10, re
questing the President to send Gen. Scott to
Kansas', with a sufficient military force for the
restoration of law, peace and harmony there
In the course of his remarks, on presenting
the resolution, Mr. Crittenden said, "it seem
ed to him that the Senate had but very seldom
under their . consideration a subject of more
importance than the affairs of Kansas. It was
enough to make them feel ashamed for the
spectacle now presented in that territory .-
They had been in session six months, and not
one step has been . taken by them to remedy
tins disgraceful evil, which was growing day
hy day, spreading wider and wider, and infla
ming passions already too much excited. Not
only is the peace and quiet of Kansas disturb
ed, but the peace of the entire country is
threatened. Of debate there had been enough,
but not of a k'nd to contribute to an impartial
judgment, but that rather which led to crimi
nation and recrimination. lie wanted to see a
broad, general and fraternal peace, and that
must be the ambition of all. Gen. Scott is
the man who carries the sword in his left hand,
and in the right Feaco, gentle Peace, and by
fcis voice, trumpet-tongued, will do more than
a thousand bayonets. His object was to put
an end to anarchy in Kansas."

anxiety felt respecting the American difficulties-
The news ot Padre Tijil's reception fol
lowing so close upon Lord Clarendon's amica
ble advances increases the excitement. It is
rumored that the Kirl of Elgin will be sent as
Plenipotentiary to Washington as the last
chance of averting war. The London Times,
in speaking of the recognition of Vijil, says :
"It seems as if the demands on one bide and
concessions on the other had reached the ut
most limit and suggests that the United
States send a special embassador or accredit
the present Minister with powers to settle the
dispute.' .
The Gersia-vs. We sec it stated that "Ten
German Editors, issuing 70,000 papers week
ly, met in Cincinnati, O., last Monday a-weck,
and resolved to act with the Republicans, a
gainst the extension of slavery." it is also as
serted that "All the Germans in the Territory
of Kansas go with the Free-State party to a
man. Ilerr Deitzler, who was arrested, is a
German. Another German was dragged thro'
the streets of Lawrence by the bandits and
most shamefully abused."
At a msetino of the Jojnt Committee of tho

Not Finished Yet. The first remark made
by Mr. Sumner to his friends, after partially

Dcrinq the thunder storm, a few days ago,
says the Boston Post, the lightning came down
upon a pasture of Charles Titcomb, of Ken
sington, N. II., descending perpendicularly

big round as a barrel, and it was formed, like
the holes of the chip munk, without throwing
out any earth.
A man named Joseph R. Johnston, residing

body of a girl buried by his, side was wholly
consumed, only a few of the principle bones
remaining.
A Feat. On Sunday the 1st inst, Lawrence

A RECORD OF KANSAS RUFFIANISM.
That there has been falsehood as well
as
truth sent over the telegraphic lines, by the
Missourians who have charge of them,
unquestionable. But these false statements
do not invalidate or diminish the real cata
logue of crime. To enable our readers to keep
the latter in memory we subjoin below a list
of a few occurrences, which are authenticated
by legal evidence, and which are not even at
tempted to be denied. There are five times as
many similar ones reported, and tolerably
well authenticated. But we wait until they
shall be officially and legally confirmed before
adding them to the list :

II U.MAN LIFE SAVED !
DowAi;iAC, Mich., March II, IS56.
J. A. RHODES, Esq : Dear Sir As I took your
medicine to sell on consignment, t:no cure no pay," '
I take pleasure in stating its effects as reported to -mo
by three brothers who live in this place, and
their testimony is a fair specimen of all I have re
ceived :
W. S. Conklin told me "I had taken nine bot- ,
tics of Christie's Ague Balsa-JD,and continually run
down while using It until my lungs and liver were
Congested to that degree that blood discharged "
from bt mouth and bowels, so that all thought it
impossible for me to live through another chill.
The doctors too did all they could for mo, but tho't
I must die. Nothing did me any good until I got
Rhode's Fever and Ague Cure, which at onco re
lieved mo of the distress and-nausca. at my stomach
and pniu in my head and bowels, and produced a
permanent cure in a short time.
II. M. Conklin says : -I had been taking medi
cine of as good a doctor as we have in our county,
and taken any quautity of quinino and specifics
without any good result, from 25th August to 17th
December. But seeing how nicely it operated on
my brother, I got aboitlc of Rhodes' Fever and A
gue Cure, which effected a permanent cure by us
ing two-thirds of a bottle."
S. M. Conklin was not here, but both the other .
brothers say bis case was the same as II. M's. I
sold tho medicine to both the same day, and tho
cure was as spcody from the same email quantity,
and I might ao specify. Yours with respect,
A. HUNTINGTON.
The above speaks for itself. Gooa proof as it is.
it is of no better tenor than the vast number of liko ,
certificates I have already published, and the still
greatcramount that iscontinually pouringin to me. -
One thing more. Last year I had occasion tocau-
tion the public in tbefc words: "7 notice one firm,
who have taken one of my general circulars, sufi. -siit
h I'd the name of their nostrum for my ttnni
cine, ani thru with brazen impudence end their
p-implilct witti the exclamation, lct the propntor"
of any other medicine say as much if he darts"c
Now I take pleasure in saying that the caution
referred to (he same '-Dr. Christie's Ague Balsam"
that is mentioned in the above certificate.
There are several ether industrious people who ,
are applying to their poisonous trash all that I
publish alKmt my Fever and Ague Cure, or Anti
dote to Malaria, except the certificates of cured.
and the certificate of the celebrated Chemist, Dr-.
James R. Chilton, of N. Y., in favor of its perfect
ly harmless character, which is attached to every
bottle. These will always serve to distinguish my ,
medicine from 'nnitations. J AS. A. RHODES.

LET US REASON TOGETHER.
HOLLOWATS PILLS. :
WHY ARE WE SICK 1
IT has been the lot of the human race to bo weigh,
ed down by disease and suffering. HOLLO
WAY'S PILLS are specially adapted to the relief -of
the WEAK, tho NERVOUS, the DELICATE.
nd tho INFIRM, .f all climes, ages, sexes, and
constitutions. Professor Holloway personally so- '
pcrintends the manufacture of his medicines in tho
United States, and offers them to a free and enlight
ened people, as the best remedy the world ever
saw for the removal of disae. :
THESE PILLS PURIFY THE BLOOD.
These famous Tills are expressly combined to op
erate on the stomach, the liver, the kidneys, tho
lungs, the rkia, and the bowels, correcting any da
rnngement in their functions, purifying the blood. ,
the very fountain of life, and thus curing disease '
in all its forms. -
OISPEPSIA AND LIVER COMPLAINTS.
Nearly half the human race have taken these -Pills.
It has been proved in all parts of the world, ,
that nothing has been fonnd equal to them in easea
of disorders of the liver, dyspepsia, and stomach '
complaints generally. They soon give a healthy
tone to these organs, however much deranged, and
when all other means have failed.
GENERAL DEBILITY. ILL HEALTH.
Many of the most despotic Governments have o- -pened
their Custom Houses to the introduction of
these Pills, that they may become the medicine of
tho masses. Learned Colleges admit that this '
medicine is the best remedy ever known for per
sons f delicate health, or where the system ha -been
impaired, as its invigorating properties neTer
fH to aliord relief. --:-
FEMALE COMPLAINTS.
No female, young or old. should bo without this
celebrated medicine. It correct and regulates tho '
monthly courses at all periods, acting in many oa-
scs liko & charm. It is also the best and safest
medicine that can be given toChildren of all agea.

should be without it. ... , .
