Latest from Europe.
The steamships North American and City
of Haitimorc brought advices from Liverpool
to the loth inst., five days later than previous
intelligence The most important news by
this arrival is from China. The English and
French Plenipotentiaries having arrived off
the River Peiho, below Pekin, on the 17th of
Jtme, found that the fortifications had been re
built, and the entrance to the river barred
with booms and stakes. On the 25th, no no
tice having been taken by the Celestial Gov
ernment of their arrival, the Plenipotentiaries
joined the squadron nnder Admiral Hope, and
attempted o force a passage up the river to
the capital, when butteries, which had been
masked, were uncovered, and a deadly fire
was opened npon the squadron, which was re
turned with spirit; but after a severe action
the force retired, with a loss of three gun
boats, and 461 killed and wounded. Among
the killed were seven officers, and among the
wounded seventeen. Admiral Hope among
the latter. The French force consisted of on
ly sixty, of whom fourteen were killed and
wounded. This gross violation of treaty stip
ulations will most likely lead to another war.
The American Embassador is said to have leen
quietly and peacefully admitted at Pekin a
fact which excites the ire of The London. Times.
. A feed-pipe casing in the forward funnel of
the steamer Great Eastern bad exploded, kill
ing five firemen and dangerously wounding
a large number, and committed sad havoc
with the grand saloon and lower deck cabins,
through which the funnel passed. The nu
merous guests on board the monster steamer
hail just risen from dinner and left the saloon,
dse the accident might have been vastly more
disastrous. The performances of the steamer
previous to the accident were entirely satisfac
tory, audit instated that the ship can be re
paired for $25,000, and that the accident will
not cause much, if any, delay in her depar
tnre for Portland. It was rumored that the
Governments of France and England had
agreed that a Congress on the Italian question
had become necessary. The proceedings of
the Zurich Conference had ceased to attract
public attention. Schamyl, the famous Cir
cassian chief, who has caused Russia so much
trouble, is reported to have been captured and
taken to St. Petersburg.
What Next. A Parisian dancing master
advertises that he "keeps on hand a large
stock of young gentlemen, all curled, dressed,
gloved, well mannered, fee;' age between
twenty-one and twenty-eight, for hire to ball
givers who, having an unexpected dearth of
male guests, desire to supply the deficiency.
They cost a Napoleon apiece, and are warran
ted to dance, to be animated, discreet, and
moral."
K7"An earthquake took place at Norcia,
Srates ot the Chuaco, Italy, recently, which
killed two hundred persons and injured a large
number : nine thousand of the population were
encamped in the neighborhood of the town.
The Pope dispatched assistance.
Cp-Jacob Gearheart, charged with shoot
ing Frank M'Cord and James Lostetter, at
Pulaski, Lawrence county, last Fourth of Ju
ly, has been discharged, the grand jury having
ignored the bill, npon the ground that the
shooting was done in self-defense.
K?"Filty slaves arrived at St. Louis recent
ly, from the interior of Missouri,bound South,
It is stated that upwards of four hundred are
leaving weekly. Slave property in Missouri,
it would seem, must be rery insecure.

he committed the act.
It is a common observation that there arc more
sufferers from debility, among Americans, than can
be found amoDg any other civilised nation. Tho
reason id obvious. We take too little exercise, and
forget the wants of the body in the absorbing pur
suits of business. In all cages, ordinary medicines
can do no good. Whatia required is just such a
tonic and invigorator as Dr. J. llostctter has given
to the world, in his celebrated ''Bitters.'" The weak
and nervous denizen of the counting-house, the ex
hausted toiler upon the shop-board, and the pros
trated student of the midnight lamp, hare found a
wonderful regenerator in the "Bitters," and prefer
it to more pretentious, but less efficacious medi
cines. But it should not be forgotten that the a
gent which i3 so magical in its influence upon a
frame which is merely debilitated, is equally pow
erful in assisting nature to expel the most terrible
forms of disease. Who would not give it a trial?

Curwensville, Pa., May 18. 1S59.
SCROFULA, OR KINO'S EVIL, is a con
stitutional disease, a taint, or corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated, weak,
and poor. Being in the circulation, it pervades
the whole body, and may burst out in disease on
any part of it. No organ is free from its attacks,
nor is there one which it may not destroy. The
scrofulous taint is variously caused by mercurial
disease, low living, or disordered or unhealthy
food, impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depres
sing vices, and, above all, by the venereal infec
tion. Whatever be its origin.it isbcrcditary in the
constitution, descending from patents "to children
unto the third and fourth gensratinn ;" indeed, it
seems to be the rod of Him who says'. "I will visit
the iniquities of the fathers upon th?r children."
It effects commence by deposition from the blood
of corrupt and ulcerous matter,whioh, in the lungs,
liver, and internal organs, is termed tubercles ; ir
tbe glands, swellings; and on the surface, erup
tions or sores. This foul corruption, which gen
ders in the blood, depresses the energies of life, so
that scrofulous constitutions not only suffer from
scrofulous complaints, but they have far less power
to withstand tbe attacks of other diseases; conse
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders which,
although not scrofulous in their nature, are still
rendered fatal by this taint in the system. Most
of the consumption which deceminates the human
family has its origin directly iu this scrofulous con
tamination, and many destructive diseases of the
liver, kidneys, brain, and indeed, of all the organs,
arise from or are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous ; their
persons are invaded by this lurking contamination,
and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse
it from the system we must renovate the blood by
an alterative medicine.aud invigorate it by healthy
food and exercise. Such a medicine we supply in
Ayer'a Compound Extract of Sarstiparitla,
the most effectual remedy which the medical skill
of our times can devise for this every where pre
vailing and fatal malady. It is combined from the
most active reuiedials that have been discovered
for the expurgation of this foul disorder from the
blood, and the rescuo of the system from its des
tructive consequences. Hence it should be employ
ed for the cure of not only scrofula, but also those
other affections which arise from it, such as Erup
tive and Skin Diseases, St. Anthony's Fire. Rose,
or Erysipelas, Pimples, Pustules, Blotches, Blains
and Boils, Tumors, Tetter and Salt Rheum, Scald
Head, Ringworm, Rheumatism, Syphilitic and
Mercurial Diseases, Dropsy, Dyspepsia, Debility,
and, indeell, all Complaints arising from Vitiated
or Impure Blood. The popular belief in "impuri
ty of th& blood'" is founded in truth, for scrofula is
a degeneration of the blood. Tho practical purpose
and virtue of the Sarsaparilla is to purify and re
generate this vital fluid, without which sound
health is impossible in contaminated constitutions.
AYER'S CATHARTIC TILLS, for all the pnrpo
ses of a famil y physic, are so composed that dis
ease within the range of their action can rarely
withstand or evade them. Their penetrating pro
perties search, and cleanse, and invigorato every
portion of the human crganisui, correcting its dis
eased action, and restoring its healthy vitalities.
As a consequence of theso properties, the inalid
who is bowed down with pain or physical debil
ity is astonished to find his health or energy re
stored by a remedy at once so simple and inviting
Not only do they cure the every-day complaints
of every body, but also many formidable and dan
gerous diseases. The agent below named is pleas
ed to furnish gratis my American Almanac, con
taining certificates of their cures and directions
for their use in the following complaints: Cos
tiveuess, Heartburn, Headache, arising from dis
ordered Stomarh, Nausea, Indigestion. Pain in,
and Morbid Inaction of the liotpels, Flatulency,
Loss of Appetite, Jaundice, and other kindred
complaints, arising from a low state of the body
or obstruction of its functions.
AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL, for the rapid
cure of Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness,
Croup, BroucJutis, Incipient Consumption, and for
the relief of Consumptive Patients in advanced
stages of the disease. So wide is the field of its
usefulness and so numerous are the cases of its
cures, that almost every section of country abounds
in persons publicly known, who have been restor
ed from alarming and even desperate diseases of
the lungs by its use. When once tried, its superi
ority over every other medicine of its kind is too
apparent to escape observation, and where its vir
tues are known, the publiono longer hesitate what
antidotes to employ for the distressing and danger
ous affections of the pulmonary organs that are in
cident to our climate. While many inferior reme
dies thrust upon the community have failed and
been discarded, this has gained friends by every
trial, conferred benefits on the afflicted they can
never forget, and produced cures too numerous
and too remarkable ever to be forgotten.

SPECIAL NOTICE TO BOOK BUYERS
My attention has been called to statements made
through the public journals, by a New York Gift
Sto. e, which are calculated to deceive; who even
presume to advertise themselves as- the originators
of the Gift Book Enterprise, which was first suc
cessfully established, and I may say honarably
conducted by myself. This concern, who aro pro
claiming themselves, "TheOldest in the business,"
are indebted to me, not only for their first ideas of
conducting the business, but for stock to commence
with, and a place to commence hi. Their state
ment, that this is -The fifth year of their location
in New York," is also faise.
It has been thought, on account f the name
connected with this New York Gift Store, that it
was a branch of my Original Enterprise; but it it'
not so, and I wish it distinctly understood, that I
am not in any way responsible for their deceptive '
advertisements, nor for the manner in which New
York Gift concerns are conducted. And holding
the position I do, as the Originator of the Gift
Book Enterprise in the United States having es-
tablished it and brought it to its present high po
sition, by constant labor, unwearied application
and large expenditure of money, I deem it my du
ty to the publio and myself to expose these pre
tended 'originators," who are attempting to im
pose upon the people. - I would here publicly stato
that these parties have been referring, without
authority or permission, to tho largest and most
widely known publishing bouso in tho U nited
. i8; v-m .in'ormed 7 tfr Arm, which is lo
cated in this city, that, not only have they never
given permission to this New York Gift fftoro to :
refer tothem. but they utterly disclaim any knowl
edge of their business or standing. "Thft fore
going can be substantiated to the satisfaction of
any person or persons, by tho most incOtftroverti- .
