JEFFERSONTAN REPUBLICAN Dreadful Calamity-Fifty laves tost. The last northern mail brings us some par ticulars of a dreadful fire at Syracuse, on Fri day night, which originated about 9 1-2 o'clock in an old building once used as a carpenter's shop, on the Oswego Canal, about 40 rods from the Weigh-Lock. Firemen and citizens gen erally turned out, (says the Tribune,) and were getting it under subjection, when the cry of "Powder in the building!" was raised, and hun dreds who heard it made good their escape from the impending danger. Others who did not hear the alarm, or who perhaps disregarded it, remained, and many still kept at their work to the very instant of death. The explosion came, and the havoc which it produced indescriba ble. Every vestige of the building, with piles of lumber about it, was scattered to a great dis tance. Windows and doors were broken and fWrl nn nil over the village by the concus sion, and the building tottered as if the earth were rent by an earinquawe. The railroad car was despatched to Auburn fnr mpHical aid, as it was impossible for tne nhvueians at Syracuse or in the neighborhood to attend to an me suiierers. On drawing off the water in the canal 4 bod ies were found and there was still a large quan tity of lumber in the canal by which more bod ies might be recovered and which had not been removed. The fire is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. Another Steamboat Explosion with JLoss of Xiife. The New Orleans Bulletin says: On the 16th uh. about 4 o'clock, P. Af. an explosion occurred on board the steam towboat Swan, Capt. Limbert, a short distance from the English Turn. Two of her boilers burst, with out the least previous warning, killing and woundin 9 or 10 persons. One of the boil ers forced its way, at an angle of about 45 de grees, through the cabin and roof, and landed on the hurricane deck the other was shattered to fragments, which were scattered in every di rection. The upper works of the boat were an entire wreck. She had in tow at the same time, the brig Hebe, and schooner Alexander Washington, the latter of which received some damage to her bulwarks, and had two men scalded. The following is a list of the suffer ers as far as ascertained: Robert W. Elliot, of New Orleans, killed; Capt William Andrews, pilot, killed; George Brody, engineer, since dead; P. Ames, steersman, killed; a black man owned in Mobile, killed. The cook, the stew ard, and a fireman, were wounded and one or two of the crew of the schooner A. W. Capt. Limbert had a young daughter on board, who had but an instant before the explosion retired to the ladies' cabin, and thus, with her father, escaped destruction. Shocking. A Justice of the peace, G. W. Cropsey, Esq. was called in the absence of the Coroner, the Brooklyn Star says, to view the head of a per son found on the shore of New Utrecht bay. Verdict that the head before them came in the situation in which they found it by some cause or causes unknown to them. Authentic from Florida. By a communication dated, August 8th, re ceived at the Department of War, from Col. Worth, commanding the army iu Florida, it ap pears that the number of Indian captures con tinued to increase. On the 8th of last month, Sergeant Nash, of the 8th infantry, captured the remainder of Coosa Coacooche s band, five m number. From these the position of twenty-five of Halleck's band was ascertained, of which Capt. Gwynne succeeded, without bloodshed, in securing the chief and two warriors. The rest had aban doned their camp before Captain G. succeeded in penetrating to their hiding place. Their crops, the most fruitful yet discovered, and cov ering thirty acres, were destroyed. Two of these confessed having participated in the mur der of an express in April last, under the sub- chief Waxahadjo, who was secured at the time and executed. J he alternative having been submitted to them, of securing the presence of the rest of their people or of sharing the fate of their leader, they immediately despatched a messenger to them for that purpose, and no doubt is entertained of a successful result. This capture will probably serve to operate upon their chief Halleck, and other bands in the same neighbourhood. The chief of the Seminole Indians, who, with the Mickasukies, are in the southern part of the peninsula, had promised to meet Colonel "W. at a place appointed, next moon. The lat ter manifest, as yet, no disposition to yield, but strong hopes are entertained that this will be fore long be brought about. Two hundred and one Indiaas, in all, are now in at Tampa, and there is every prospect of a speedy pacification of the country west of that place. The effect of this would be to facilitate the operations south. "Very considerable reduction has been made in tia-e -expenditures, and every thing promises well. National Intelliffencer. A curious fact in Natural History is mention ed by the Philadelphia Gazette: A merchant in Front street near Chestnut, has a cat in his counting room with a litter of young kiaens. About a week ago two young rats were caught and brought to the cat, one of which she immediately destroyed, and the oth er was left to her mercy. Day before yester- day it was accidentally discovered that the rat was nestling among the kittens. It was taken out and held up before pussy, but she only licked it with maternal tenderness, and when it was again laid down, it crawled to her and sucked in company with her own youngsters, and so continues on the best terms with the family. A Mail Robber Caught. A young man named Lucius Edwin Ray, has been arrested in Baltimore upon a warrant charging him with robbing the mail of numerous letters and considerable sums of money when acting as a clerk or daputy postmaster in Jef ferson county, Ohio. Declared to be Usury. The Circuit Court of Rankin county, Miss., at its late ses sion, decided that a loan, made by a bank, of depreciated bank paper, being an usurious transaction, is null and void, and that no collec tions should be enforced on debts thus contracted Hydrophobia, or Canine Madness. The Buf falo Commercial publishes the subjoined "no tices given in the newspapers of the 22d of June, 1841, by the Committee of Salubrity, in Paris": 1st. Any person bitten by a mad dog or any other animal, should immediately press with the two hands all around the wound, so as to make the blood run freely and extricate the slaver. 2d. Wash the wound with a mixture of al kali and water, lemon juice, lye, soap, salt wa ter, urine or even pure water. During the time of pressing and washing the wound, warm a piece of iron in the lire and ap ply it deeply to said wound. Mind that said piece of iron is only heated so as to be able to cauterize that it must not be red hot. These precautions being well observed, are sufficient to preserve from the horrid effects of hydrophobia and every one should keep them in his mind. A Scoundrel. The Baltimore Sun cautions the public against a man named J. M. Kirk, who was married in July last, in Tioga county, Pa., to Miss Ellen Still. About the first of April last, passing under the name of Dr. Jo seph M. Kirk, he went to Williamsport, Pa., with a wife and three children, and rented a house, declaring his intention to be to settle and practice medicine. About five weeks ago, he left Williamsport, with the ostensible pur pose of collecting some money due him until he himself wrote a letter to a gentleman at Williamsport, from Washington city, dated on the 3d inst. giving some directions in relation to his family, and slated that he would imme diately leave for Texas. The sequel is, he left Washington, leaving the young lady whom he had so grossly deceived into marriage in Balti more, behind him, after having taken her to Washington, and kept her there several days. He at different times passed under the name of Joseph M. Kirk, and Joseph W. Kirk. Peter W. Blair, Jr. was arrested at a pri vate house in the suburbs of Philadelphia on Saturday 14th inst. by Sheriff De Camp, with the assistance of those indefatigable officers Slater and Byrne, of that city, and returned to his old quarters in this Town on Sunday morn ing, but lodged in an apartment from which it would bother "auld clootie himself to abstract him without the assistance or consent of the Sheriff. By means not generally known, Blair found himself at Elizabethtown early on Tuesday morning, where he took the first train of cars to Philadelphia. He played "possum," and ap peared to be very much intoxicated so much so that he could not hold up his head long enough to get the money from his pocket to pay his fare. The travelling Agent however caught a glimpse of his face and recognized him, but not knowing him to be a fugitive from justice, he proceeded on his journey without molestation. At a hotel m Philadelphia he en tered his name as "Mr. Wilson, of Boston, and on Wednesday he took his quarters with a pri vate family, to which place our Sheriff traced him and made the arrest. But little sympathy is now shown for this un fortunate man, for instead of making his way to Texas, or Canada, or some other jumping off place, as aoon as he gained his liberty, he was spending his precious time in a populous city, where the hawk eyes of the police ofh cers mark every stranger or suspicious looking personage.

The Publishers of Thh New York Tribune, en couraged by the generous patronage and hearty approval which has been extended to their Daily paper since its establishment, and which has al ready rendered it the second in point of circulation m the city, propose to publish, on and after the 18th day of September, a Weekly edition, on a sheet of mammoth size, excluding all matter of local or transitory interest, and calculated mainly lor country circulation. The Tribune whether in its Daily or Weekly edition will be what its name imports an un flinching supporter of the People's Rights aud In terests, in stern hostility to the errors of superfi cial theorists, the influence of unjust or imperfect legislation, and the schemes and sophistries of sclt-seeking demagogues. It will strenuously advocate the Protection of American Industry against the grasping and to us blighting policy of European bovernments, and the unequal compe tition which they force upon us, as also against the present depressing system of State Prison La bor;, it will advocate the restoration of a sound and uniform National Currency; and urge a discreet but determined prosecution of Internal Improve ment. The Retrenchment, wherever practicable, of Government Expenditures and of Executive Patronage, will be zealously urged. In short, this paper will faithfully maintain and earnestly advo cate the Principles and Measures which the Peo ple approved in devolving on Whig Statesmen the cenduct of their Government. But a small portion, however, of its columns will be devoted to purely Political discussions. The proceedings of Congress will be carefully re corded; the i oreifrn and Domestic lntelhaenee early and lucidly presonted; and whatever shall appear calculated to promote Morality, maintain Social Order, extend the blessings of Education, or in any way subserve the great cause of Human Progress to ultimate Virtue, Liberty and Happi ness, will find a place in our columns. 1ie Weekly Tribune will be published cverv Saturday morning in Quarto form on a very large imperial sheet, (31 by 42 inches,) and afforded to Subscribers at TWO DOLLA PvS a year. Six co pies will be forwarded a year for Ten Dollars, 1 en copies lor l'ifteen Dollars, and anv larger number in the latter proportion. Payment in ad vance will be invariably required, and the paper stopped whenever the term of such payment ex pires. Subscriptions are respectfully solicited by GREELY & McELRATII, 30 Ann-st.

JOB WORK Neatlv executed at this Office A NATURAL KEMEM, Suited to our Constitutions, and competent to the cure of every curable disease will be found in the INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS, OF TITE Itfortli American College of Healtli. THESE extraordinary Pills are composed of plants which grow spontaneously on our own soil; and are therefore, better adapted to our constitu tions, than medicine concocted from foreign drugs however well they may be compounded; and as THE INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS are found ed upon the principle that the human body is in truth SUBJECT TO BUT ONE DISEASE, viz: corrupt humors, and that said medicine cures this disease on NATURAL PRINCIPLES by cleansing and purifying the body; it will be man ifest, that if the constitution be not entirely ex hausteda perseverance in their use, according to directions, is absolutely certain to drive disease of every name from the body. When we wish to restore a Swamp or Morass to fertility, we drain it of the superabundant wa ters; in like manner if we wish to restore the body to health, we must cleanse it of impurity. THE INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS Will be found one of the best, if not the very best medicine in the world for carrying out this GRAND PURIFYING PRINCIPLE, because they expel from the body all morbid and corrupt humors, the calise of disease in an easy and NATURAL MANNER; and while they every day GIVE EASE AND PLEASURE, disease of every name is rapidly driven from the body; The above named Indian Vegetable Pills, have been three years befoie the American public; and we can now say withont fear of contradiction, that of all the various medicines which have heretofore been popular, not one has given such universa satisfaction, or obtained such a permanent hold upon the affections of the people. Not only do al who use it invariably experience relief, and re commend it in the strongest terms: but it has ef fected some of the most astonishing cures ever performed by medicine. Hitherto, very few of the numerous testimonials which have been received in favor of his extraor dinary medicine have been published, as the med icine obtained its present great celebrity more by its own intrinsic goodness than from extensive ad vertising. It has been deemed proper however to offer the following opinions of the public press, together with a few extracts from letters of Agents, merely to show, that the fame of the Indian Vege table Pills, is not confined to any one section, but is rapidly extending itself to every part of the Union From the Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post. THE INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS. Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills are attaining great celebrity in New England as well as other parts of the United States. The attempt of per sons to defraud the public by the sale of spurious articles, bidets with general reprobation. Mr. Wright is an indefatigable business man, and shows an array of cures by the medicine which warrant confidence in the virtues of his Indian Vegetable Pills. From the Philadelphia Spirit of the Times. THE INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS. People are pretty well satisfied by this time that Calomel, and the other thousand and one min eral preparations of the shops, arc better adapted, as a general rule, to kill rather than cure the pa tient; as a matter of course, vegetable medicines are therefore in great request. There are very many humbugs, however, among the latter, and we would advise all those who have the least re gard for their health, to try the INDIAN VEGE TABLE PILLS OF THE NORTH AMERICAN COLLEGE OF HEALTH, sold at 100 Race street, Phladolphia ; as they are the preparation of one intimately acquainted with the healing art. From the Boston Daily Times. , INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS. & jU' Of all the public advertised medicines of'-'the day, we know of none that we can more safely re commend for the "ills that flesh is heir to" than the Pills that are sold at the depot of tho North American College of Health, No. 198 Tremont street, Boston. Several instances we know of where they are used in families with the highest satisfaction; and no longer ago than yesterday, we heard an eminent Physician of the Gity recommend them in high terms. There used to be in the community, a great repugnance to the use of QUA Civ medicines, as they are all indiscriminate ly termed, but it was mainly owing to the regular M. D.'s constantly denouncing thenu They are, however, becoming more liberal in this respect, and the consequence is that good vogQtable medicines are now more extensively used than formerly. Extract of a letter from Peter Christ, Uniohtow'nv Carrol County, Md., Nov. 17th, 1838. Dear Sir: About two months ago, I had busi ness in Baltimore, and Called at your office, ami bought a few boxes of the" Indian Vegetable Pills; and upon trying them I foimd them to bo far supe rior to Pills, or any other medicineT had ever used. I had been subject to a cough for five years past, and during the time have taken a vari ety of medicines without any relief, until I got the Indian Vegetable Pills, and by taking four doses, the cough began to leave me; and I now enjoy bet ter health than I have done for years past After I found them to be a valuable medicine, I imme diately Sent to Baltimore for a" large supply. I have received so much benefit in using the IN DIAN VEGETABLE PILLS that I cannot help but recommend them to every invalid I seer, and think so well of the medicine that I have' sent two dozen boxes to my invalid friends, in tho State of Indiana. Signed, PETER CHRIST. From G. C. Black, New York. Mr. Wm. Wright Pear Sir you will please to forward as soon as possible, Some of your Indian Vegetable Pills; as we are almost dut of the arti cle, and they rippear to be getting into general use , here. We have a great call for the medicine at present, and those that have used them, speak very high of them. One gentleman attributes his being cured of Dropsy to the use of them; and another has been cured of Dyspepsia, solely by the use of your Indian Vegetaule Pills, and is willing you should publish his case if you think proper. G. C. BLACK, No. 1 Chatham Square, New York. Extract of a letter from Mr. A. Larrimore, Indiana. Doctor Wright Dear Sir Having some knowl edge of your most excellent compound INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS, and not knowing how to get a fresh supply, my stock being nearly exhaust ed, and wishing to always have them in my family, I take this method to open a correspondence with you. The pills alluded to are well thought of here and very much wanted. I wish to make arrange ments with you for a constant supply, as I think a very great quantity could be sold in this section of the country. Extract of a letter from Samuel Griffith, Stewart town, York County, Pa. Mr. W. Wright Dear Sir I am selling the In dian Vegetable Pills by the dollar's worth, and at that rate the stock of Pills, left by your travelling, agent, will soon be out. I am pleased to find they are such ready sale. Those who have used them, speak in the highest terras of them. Many have already found great relief from their use, and when the cures are final ly effected, I shall do you the justice to inform you of the same. Extract Of a letter from Washington City. Mr. Wm. Wright Dear Sir You will have the kindness to forward me as soon as possible, too oc three gross of the Indian Vegetable Pills. The sales have, for the last two months, increased rap idly; those who buy, generally remarking, "that they are the best pills they have ever used;" and my opinion is that they will in a short time super cede all others in this city. ROBERT FARNHAM. Washington City, D. C. Extract of a letter from Lycoming County, Pa. Mr. Wm Wright Dear Sir On being appoint ed Agents for the sale of the INDIAN VEGE TABLE PILLS in this place, we only took one gross on trial; but it would have been better if we had taken a half dozen gross; for on a fair trial they have far exceeded our most sanguine expecta tions. In fact so much so that we have been oblijr ed to send to 'Mr. Zimmerman, at Lancaster, more than a hundred miles from here, for ten dozen; but these will last but a very short time, the way we are selling them since they have been fairly tested. In the first place, I gave some to our Physicians, to make trial of since which they have purchased a number of boxes, and highly approve of them. A few days ago, there was a lady sent 30 miles to get a box of the Pills, she at the time was very low, and unable to turn herself in bed; but in two days, my informant says she was able to help herself. We could mention many other cases, but deem it unnecessary at this time; hut would merely say; that as the season is fast approaching when there will be a great demand for the Indian Vegetable Pills; and if we only could get a supply of the med icine, we could establish other agents, which would be of immense advantage not only to the NORTH AMERICAN COLLEGE OF HEALTH; but to the public generally. Please let us know your views on tho subject, and any directions relative to the same, will be promptly attended to by Very respectfully, your friends, 5.
