Accident. On 1 st Friday afternoon, a
young roan, named George Young, whilst en
gaged at felling a tree on the clearing of Ellis
Irwin, Esq., in Goshen township, was severely
injured by a dry limb, which broke off the tree,
striking him on tho head. A gnsli about four
Inches long was cut in the top of his head, Le
vies being knocked insensible for some time.
Surgical aid was called in immediately, and at
last accounts the patient was doing as well as
could be expected.
School Exhibition and Pio-Xiu On last
Saturday afternoon, the school in Lawrence
township under the charge of Miss Ileiscy,
had a public exhibition in the grove above our
town. The exercises were of an interesting
character. After an address to the throne of
.grace, the scholars went through their various
performances, which were highly creditable to
both scholars and teachers. Rev. Dr. McLeod
then made some very appropriate and interest
ing remarks, and was followed by II. E.
Swoopc, Esq., who alluded to tho Living of
the Atlantic telegraph cable as an evidence of
the rapid progress of enlightenment in the
present age, and tho consequent necessity of a
moro thorough education of our youth. After
the exercises wero concluded, an excellent
dinner was spread, to which ample justice was
done and then all had "a good time" gon
erally. How does it Come f Mr. Editor : . It seems
somewhat siugular to me, that housekeepers
In onr town have to pay such high prices for
beef, when it is a notorious fact that cattle are
selling at very low rates ah through the coun
try. Can anyone explain how this comes?
It U right that men should have fair, rem u
nerativo prices for their beef I want to see
tho dealer have a good, living profit but I
think we are paying too much, when tho low
juice of cattle is taken into consideration.
Justice.
To tue Editor of the rfoiusAL : Dear Sir:
Permit me through your valuable columns to

vni.it ions, (as also my juvenile class.) In con
clusion, may we all live many a happy day, so
that wc may providentially meet again at
nonio future time.
Apropos many thanks are tlue by myself

The War ix China. The intelligence of
the movements of the allied squadrons on the
coast of China, is of the utmost importance.
) the 20th of May, the French and English
vessels attacked the forts defending the en
trance of the Pei-ho, and after a severe con
flict enptu-ed them, thus opening the passage
otlie capital of the Chinese Empire. The
torts were four in number, mounting in all,
.according to the telegram, one hundred and
thirty-eight guns, although previous informa
tion had fixed the number at seventy-nine.
There was also a large line of earth-works
well armed and defended. Indeed, all the de
fences were overcrowded with troops. " In ad
dition to these artificial advantages was a na
tural one in tho form of a sand-bar, stretch
ing across tho mouth of the river, a mile in
breadth, and seldom affording more than two
r three feet of water. What with the gun
boats, however, and the courage of the Eng
lish, and daring bravery of the French, all the
loits wero promptly taken, notwithstanding
the hardihood oT the native soldiery in their
Ufence. It is now understood that the allied
flotilla will at once advance towards Pekin,
doubtless anticipating that its approach will
be prevented by the submission of the Emper
or. The distance from the discharge of the
Pei-ho to the Capital is variously stated at
from one hundred to one hundred and forty
miles.
A Failure. Tho attempt to get up a con
vention in New York to nominate. Gerrit
Smith for a Governor was a failure. There
were only 100 in attendance, half of whom
were from Syracuse, where the convention
was held, and three-fourths of these seceded
"before the nomination was made. On the pro-
position to nominate Mr. Smith there were
but seven votes cast. As Mr. Smith said ho
would not accept the nomination if the con
vention was a "sham," he will have a good
excuse for declining it. -

A CARD FROM DR. JAMES M. JAR
RETT, OF THE NEW-YORK LUNG, IN
FIRMARY. My connection for the past eight
years with the above Institution, as Chief Physi
cian, and a twelve years' course of steady devotion
to the Cure of Pulmonary Consumption and its
kiudred diseases, together with my unrivalled op
portunities and advantage of pathological research
aided not a little by a perfect system of Mnlintl
Inlialatioii has enabled me to arrive at a deci
sive, direct, aud successful course of treatment for
the positive and radical cure of all diseases of the
Throat, Litiisr. and Air-asa?es. By Inhalation,
the vapor and curative properties of medicines arc
directly addressed to the diseased organs of the in
tegument. I do not advise the use of Medical In
halation of any kind, to the exclusion of general
treatment ; and although I consider it a useful ad
juvant in the proper management of those fearful
and often fatal diseas.-s, yet I deem it very neces
sary that each patient should have tho benefit of
hot h gi'iie rat and local treatment. The success of
my treatment in the above diseases, and the high
character of the Institution over which I have so
long had the honor to preside, are too well known
to need any eulogy or comment from me. At the
solicitation of many private and professional
fiiends, through whose pbilanthropicaid the above
charity has been long and liberally supported and
after due consideration, 1 have concluded to make
such arrangements as will bring the benefits of my
experience and treatment within the reach of all,
and not confine myself, as heretofore, to those on
ly who entered the Infirmary, or who were able to
visit meat my office. Hoping therefore that the
arrangement will give entire satisfaction, both to
my professional brethren and the public. I would
respectfully announce in conclusion, that lean
noir be consulted personally or In letter, on all dis
cases as above, and that the medicines, the same as
used in the Institution, prepared to suit each in
dividual case. Inhaling vapor. Medical Inhit
.rrs. fc. ire . will be forwarded hy express to ariy
part of the United States or tho Car.adas. Tkiims
My terms of treatment by letter are as follows,
viz : S12 per mouth for each patient, which will
include medicine sufficient for ono month's use;
also. Inhaling Vapor, and an Inhaling Apparatus.
Payment a3 follows : -Si! to bo paid to Express A
gent on receipt of the box of Medicine, and the
balance S6 at the expiration of the month, if the
patient be cured oris entirely satisfied with the
treatment. Patients, by giving a full history of
theireasc. and thcirsymptomsiu full, can be treat
ed as well by letter as by personal examination.
Patients availing themselves of Dr. Jarrctt's treat
ment may rely upon immediate aud permanent
relief, as he seldom has to treat a case over thirty
days. Letters for ad vice promptly answered. For
further particulars address

rpiIE GREATEST BIOGRAPHY OF
JL THE AGF.. NOW READY: THE
OF THOMAS J 1 Fl'EHSOSY, h,j Hen
rit S. Ri'tulall. LL.l). In 3 rolnin:s, octavo.
1 his work contains upwardsof 2.000 pages, is prin
ted on fine paper, and handsomely bound iu va
rious styles. It is illustrated by several engrav
ings ousted, aud numerous far si unlet ; among
the former arc two fine portraits of Jefferson. The
facsimiles embrace, among others, the original
oraitoi tnc jJcciuratuin ol macpcndcncc, iu Jef
ferson s own hand-writing.
This is, in every sense, an authorized trori ; it
was undertaken under tho approbation of his fam
ily, and with an unreserved access to all the pri
vate papers of Jefferson in their possession; and
has received the benefit of their recollections and
op'nions at every step.
The work contains the expressions of Jefferson
on every great public question which arosu. from
his advent to public life to his death a period of
about sixty years, and embracing the whole form
ing period of tho Republic. It contains Jeffer
son's heretofore unpublished family correspon
dence; selections from his finest published letters,
state papers, etc., etc , etc.
onxinxs OF THE rRESS.
'No other Life of Jefferson ever published
probably none that ever trill be publi.-hcd can
bear any comparison to this in thorougncss, full
ness of incident and conscientious fidelity
This biography has evidently been a labor of love,
and the years of patient, assiduous toil it has cost,
have been given with ungrudging, untiring enthu
siasm." S'ew York Tribune.
"At length the public have a Life of Thomas Jef
ferson that is not only fascinating, and therefore
sure to bo popular, bu ono that will stand the es
sential historio test that of accuracy and truth
fulness. It is soen that the ground-work of the
whole is authentic coteinporary material, and of
the highest order. Togather it has been the work
of years. We would not compare this volume with
that inimitable and incomparable biography of
BoswcII. and yet so faithful is the portraiture that
Jefferson is made to draw of himself, that his na
ture, his very soul, is dcliniatcd with a distinct
ness nut unlike that in which Johnson stands out
in the pages of Boswcll.'" Boston 2'o-t.
"Imbued with that enthusiastic admiration of
his subject, without which a biographer is rarely
successful, Mr. Randall nevertheless does not seek
to hide whatever faults he may find, cither from
himself or from tho reader, lio prints the picture
as Cromwell insisted his should be painted, "warts
and all." The picture gains by this in life-liko
coloring, without losing any of its majestic propor
tions." Albany Ereuinz Journal.
"No one who runs his eye, however casually, o
vcr this work, will fail to be satisfied that Mr. Han
dull has added very largely to tho stock of the
world's information about Jefferson, that he has
had access to sources hitherto unexplored, and that
he has dono more than was ever done by any ono
before him to illustrato the personality of that
great statesman." -V. 1". Encwng 1'ost.
"We have read with delight Mr. Randall's cap
tivating details of Mr. Jefferson's personal history,
which he has seduonsly gathered, and admirably
grouped together, from a great variety of authen
tic sources, hitherto unexplored. Out of the tempt
ing richness of his materials, the ablo and clear
sighted author has constructed a book, at onco most
entertaining and instructive ono that should be
studied by every patriot of the land." Rich
mond, Va., Enjmrrr. .
"There can be only ono opinion as to the abili
ty, general impartiality ami industry which Mr.
Randall has brought into combination in the com
position of this biography He has
worthily executed a much wanted book." Phil
tylelphi i Press.
i "It will take place among the choicest classics
of American literature, and bo consulted by eve
ry future historian of this country." Philadel
phia Ereuiusr liulletin.
'We like it because it neither conceals, palliates,
exaggerates, nor distorts, but approaches, in every
instance, and in every particular, the career of
the noblo character whose opinions have done so
much to shape the domestic and foreign policy of
tbe notion he contributed so greatly to call into
existence." N. O. True DAta.

GREAT DISCOVERY OF THE AGE.
IMPORTANT TO TOBACCO CIIEWERS.
Dr. Gnstav ljnnard's Tas't Restorati re. Troches,
the Great Substitute, for Tohacro. It is a well
known and incontrovertable fact that the uso of
Tobacco is tho promoting cause of many of the
most severe MENTAL AND PHYSICAL disorders
to which tho race of man is subject, ascureful an
alasis and long and painful experience have clear
ly proven that it containsccrtain narcotic and poi
sonous properties most dangerous in their effocts,
which by entering into the blood derange tho
functions and operations of the Heart, causing ma
ny to suppose that organ to be seriously diseased.
TOBACCO affects also she cure nervous system,
manifesting itself as all who have ever used the
noxious weed will bear testimony in Lassitude,
Nervous Irritability, Water Brash. Dyspepsia, and
many other disorders of a similar character. The
"Tasto Restorative Troches" are designed to coun
teract these baneful influences, and have proved
completely successful in a multitude of cases, and
wherever used. Being harmless ia themselves
they exert a beneficial effect upon the entire sys
tem, restoring the Taste which has become vitia
ted or destroyed by great indulgence, complete
ly removing tbe irritation and accompanying tick
ling sensation of tho Throat which are always
consequent upon abstaining from the use of To
bacco, and by giving a healthy tone to the Stom
ach, invigorate the whole system.
Persons who are irretrievably undermining
their constitutions and shortening their lives,
should uso these Troches immediately and throw
off the injurious and unpleasant habit of Tobacco
Chewing.
These Troches or Lozenges are put up in a con
venient and portable form at the low price of 50
cents per Box. A liberal discount to the Trade.
Prepared solely by the undersigned to whom
all oraers nouia oe auaressea.
