    From Cist's Cincinnati Advertiser.
ii7'vl tTka Vtoi'ssitwaHa it LW. T
Mr. Cist ef the Cincinnati Advertiser recent-
published a chapter of the Ope and down! of
.ife. He now furnishes another of vicissitudes:
I knew an individual in Philadelphia, son to
one of our roost distinguished revolutionary pa-
,oH, obliged to flee the city1 and take refuge in
I'npland. where tie Wat obliged to pats the resi
due of his life under a fictitious title. He had
been guilty of forgery, and time sacrificed coun
try, individual character, and an illustrious fami
ly name, to gratify extravagant and licentious
habits of lite.' He was one of the finest looking
men I have everaeen. " "
One of my early associates in life, and the de
light of the female circle in which ha moved, I
m w a few years since in Cincinnati; to disfigured
by dissipation, sickness, and neglect of personal
nppoaranee, that I presume his' own mother
would not have recognised him. " I furnished him
the means of getting down to New Orleans. The
next thing 1 heard of him was at the head of the
list of Americans who accompanied Gen. Sent
manat to Mexico, and being captured by Gen. I
Ampudia, were shot by his orders, was my friend
A C- . He bad been left a fortune of
$50,000, amnhis was the end of his course.
I know a lady who in her own history, has
seen better days, who is a lineal descendant of
William the Conqueror's most trusty friend and
favorite among alt his puisant barons.' - She is
now earning a subsistence at day's wages,' by her
industry at the needle.
I know a merrbatit on Main street, Cincinna
ti, now worth $150,000, who was refused credit
sixteen years since for a barrel of salt. ; ' "
I know a man working at day wages at one of
our Cincinnati foundries, who was proprietor for
many yeara of the Iran Works on Carron river,
in Scotland, and reduced to bankruptcy by no ill
habits or faults of bis own, 'unless becoming ra
ined by misplaced confidence in bis friends may
be reckoned such.' ' .
I have seen a grandson of a distinguished revo
tionary patriot at bard labor on our Cincinnati
chain-gang. ' ' ' '
I was supplied with milk daily from a cart for
several years, by an individual. who was after
wards extensively engaged in the putting up of
,Krlc, and dealing in the provision line, and has
since been able to draw on New Orleans or the
east for thirty thousand dollars at a time.
I know a manufacturing firm which in 1841
was so cramped for means as to decline purcha
sing a copy of my "Cincinnati in 1841," alleging
that they had not the price -one oWftrr-i-to spare,
whose sales this year are 500,000 dollars," and
their profits cannot bo lesa than $80,000. .
One of our richest individuals was a journey
man shoemaker thirty-five years ago. A. Ct
Such are the nps and downs oT human life
enough surely, to teach impressively the uncer
tainty of worldly possessions, and the fleeting te
nure of worldly enjoyment. "v
Foul Assassination. A cool-blooded murder
was committed in this county on Monday last,
on the person of Mr. Robert Harper, a younger
brother of Capt. Andrew Harper, of St. Ferdi
nand township. ' It seems, that on Monday mor
ning, at the election ground in Central township,
some altercation arose between Mr Harper and
a man named Ketteter.- It was, however, toon
adjusted and they "made friends." ' The day pas
sed and Mr. Harper ordered his horse, to go
home. Kettetter proposed, upon some frivolous
excuse, to ride home with biro, but Mr. Harper
demurred. At last he consented. Ketteter then
asked Harper to loan hina a half . dollar, to pay
for the keeping of his horse. 'This he did and
they mounted Ketteter behind Harper. . It is
not known now far they travelled, but the horse
returned to the election ground, without riders,
bloody and the reins loose. ' The assassin stab
bed Mr. Harper on the right side, to the heart,
jumped from the horse and left him in that con
dition. Ha was dragged for about two miles,
then fell from bis horse. Mr. Harper was found
and taken to the bouse of a German, where he
lay yesterday, in a dangeroas state. Under an
expectation of an approaching death, be made a
full statement of all the circumstances of the
murder. Ketteter fled, and although the people
were out in every direction searching for him,
he had not been taken. Ketterer is a married
man, and yesterday bis wife walked three miles
to where he bad left bis horse, got possession of
it, and it is presumed the aaurderer escaped on
this animal.
Mr. Harper is a married man, and was highly
respected. No means should be left untried to
prevent the escape of the assassin. St. Lout's

TPOR twenty years I wat severely afflicted with
-V TtrrttBonthe Face and Ileadt the disease
commenced when I waa seventeen years old. snd
continued until the Fall -of 1836, varying in vio
lence, but without ever disappearing. During most
of the time, great part of my face waa covered with
the eruption, frequently attended with violent itch
ing ; my head swelled at timet until it felt ts if it
would buret the swelling wss so great, thst I eould
scsreily get my hst on. During lbs long period
that 1 wss afflicted with the disease, I used a great
many S plications, (among them several celebrated
preparation.) as w. II as tskinc Inward remedies,
including a number oflxittles of Stvaim'i Panacea,
Extract of Sartapnrilla, etc, In fact, it would be
Impossible in enumerate all the medicines I used.
I wss also under the care of two of the most dis
tinguished phystcisns of this ciiy, but without re
reiving much benefit, and I despsired of ever being
cured. In the fill of 1 83R, tha disease at the time
being very violent, I commenced using the Rote
Ointment, (prepared by Vaughan ft Davis.) In
a few applications the violent itching ceased, the
swelling abated, tbe fruition began to disappear,
and before I had used ajar the disease was entirely
cured. It has now been nearly a year and a half
since, and there ia not a vestige of Ihe disease re
maining, except Ihe scare from the deep pita formed
by the diaease. It is impossible foe me to descrit
in s certificate Ihe severity of the disesse and my
soflering, but I will be pleased to give a fuller ac- .
enwit to sny person wsnting further satisfaction,
who will cull on me. At the lime I commenced
uing the Rose Ointment I would have given hun
dieds of doilaia to be rid nf the disease. Since u
sing It, I have recommended it to several person,
(among them my mother, who had the disease bad
ly 011 her arm,) who were all cured bv it,

rPHlS is to certify that I wss severely afflicted
witb Tetter in the hands snd feet for upwards
offorty years; the disease was attended generally
with violent itching and swelling. I Applied to a
number of physicians, and used a great many appli
cations without eflecting s cure. About a yeat
since, I applied the Rose Ointment, which entirely
stopped the Itching, snd a few applications immedi
ately cored Ihe disease, which there has been nc
return of, although I had never been rid of it at
any time for forty years. RICHARD 8AVAGE

A LTHOUGH the superiority of the prepataiiot

a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania. Dr
Baugh, having found in this remedy thai relief f
a tedious snd disagreeable affection which the mean:
within the range of his profession failed to afford
has not hesitated lo give it his approbation, althougl

I was recently troubled with a tedious herpetic
erupii-n. which entered pearly one si.'e of my face
and extended uver the ear. Mr. Vaughan, proprie
loi of the Rose Ointment, obsciving my face, insii.
tcd on my trying his preparation, of which he ban
ded me a jar. A Ithough in common with the mem'
hers of my profession, I discountenance and disap
prove of the numerous nostrums palmed upon th.
public by ignorant pretenders, I feci injustice bouut
to except Ihe Rose Ointment from lhat class of me
dicincs. and to give it my approbation, as it entire
ly cured the eruption, although it hd resisted th
usual applications. DAM.. BAUGH, M. D.
