JEFPERSOXIAN REPUBLICAN. B9BCEBWSSZSS the beggar in ihe street. Among those who knew h?m it was often spoken of as surprising that he should be engaged in teaching, as he was evidently qualified, both by nature and ed ucation, lo fill a much more distinguished rank in society. This, we feel confident in saying, is the general character and estimate in which youn Colt was held, not only in Cincinnati, but Louisville, Maysville, and the other cities of the West, where he was known as a teacher. Although eminently successful as an account ant, Mr. Colt has met several reverses of for tune within the last three years, thai has led many of his friends to think, from an apparent change of countenance, thai these casualties were undermining his constitution, and that to this he would soon yield. If this be true; how far a broken spirit may have had a tendency to make hirrr irritable, and produce the unfortunate result between himself and Mr. Adams, we are unable to say. But this is not our opinion. From our knowledge of Mr. Colt, we should have taken him to be one of those who would bear with fortitude any of the ordinary reverses of life. He has just passed that period in man hood when the rose on the cheek, and the laugh ing eye, change places for the grave, reflective, meditating cast which envelope the counte nances of persons like Mr. Colt, whose habits have been sedentary and given to study. It was our intention when vVe commenced this article to have spoken of some of Mr. Coil's misfortunes, but as we have already $3,700 and thus got his father-in-law to en dorse the payment of a bond of three thousand seven hundred dollars; which sum he borrowed to pay for land. Now Smith alias Boling pre tended to visit this Edward C. Boling, to ratify the land bargain. Aftei a short absence he re turned back, and, lo! Boling had, by hook or crook, defrauded him out of his money. He remained with his wife a few days, and con cluded lo go and see Boling again; and such was now the length of his absence that his last wife becoming uneasy, proceeded in quest of him to the house of the Rev. Mr. Boling, of this county, expecting to meet wilh him there: but she found him not Mr. Smith was not known by any of the family; while there Mrs. Smith became acquainted with Mrs. Edward C. Boling whose husband was absent also. The two ladies remained together for sever al days and mutually expressed anxiety for the return of their husbands, never once dreaming that they were the wives of one and the same man. Mrs. Smith alias Boling finally returned home without hearing from her husband but Smith arrived soon after her return, told a smooth tale relative to his absence, and sill! complained of his treatment from Boling. The want of space compels us to pass over many events of interest which transpired after this last return mentioned, until his arrest. His new father-in-law, enraged against Boling, and unwilling that his son-in-law should brook such injustice, sought redress by the force and pow er of the law. He accordingly had a writ is sued for the arrest of Boling, charging him with swindling Sidney T. Smith. On Tuesday last, drawn it out beyond our prescribed limits, we omit doing so for the present. We have only to add that, we hope he may be able to bear up swindling oianey l . smitn. Un 1 uesday last wilh Christian fortitude that Christianity he 1 (our court being m session,) Smith in connec professed when a youth in passing the ordeal of his trial, and resign with that manliness to his fate, whatever that fate may bo, which has characterized his life: as we have it in his own words, beautifully applied to Goddard the Ac countant, "a life of reverses, miscarryings and misfortunes." Remarkable case of Bigamy islied Villaxiy. Fia- As the conductor of the public press, we hae never been called upon to record a case of a more perfect and continued system of ras cality than that which we feel bound to lay be fore our readers this week. Yet such is the peculiar and varied nature of the case such is its deep depravity, thai we arc at a loss where to begin or where lo stop. We purpose, how ever, to detail the circumstances as they have come to our knowledge (confining ourselves to the facts, as near as possible) and in so doing we intentionally omii ihe names of the unfortu nate females who have been made the wretched victims of a species of villany unparalleled in this country. Their cup of sorrow and morti fication must now be full, and we will noi run it over by gazetting their names. It appears that a certain Edwatd C. Boling, (son of the Rev. Mr. Boling, minister of the Meihodist Episcopal Church, and a resident of this county,) about three years since married a Miss P a lady of respectability as wc learn, and lived with her nearly two years. About twelve months ago he left his home for the purpose of studying ihe. law in Greensboro', N. C., leaving his wife behind. On his arrival in Greensboro', he changed his name and in troduced himself to ihe inhabitants of that town as Sidney T. Smith, of Alabama. He exhibi ted to the gentleman under whom he prosecu ted the study of law, certificates purporting to be from distinguished gentlemen in North Ala bama, and which represented him as the son of a wealthy collon planter of that Stale. He ob tained credit to a large amount in the stores of that place, and pretended that he was in daily expectaiion of the receipt of a large amount of funds from his father, living as above slated. Soon after he informed his acouaintances that he expected his parents in a short time to pass through Greensboro', on a visit to some friends living in Southampton, Virginia. Again he pretended to learn that his father was dead, but that he expected a visit from his mother, and with a countenance indicating grief for his lost parent, he entered a milliner' shop and be spoke Tor his mother a costly dre'ss of mourn ing, while he wore crape on his hat! (Bold and .reckless man! thus to tamper with the wrath" and thunderbolts of heaven'. After this, he' succeded, by stratagem, to be come acquainted with Miss E. B , an ac complished young lady of Guilford county, and daughter of a gentleman of high respectability and enviable properly. He was pleased wilh her; and, with the cold hearted ferocity of a fifi'xrd fresh from hell, determined to make her the victim of his foul treachery and deceit. By artful and false representations, he gained the confidence of her father; and by warm' and' ar dent professions of regard and attachment, in duced her to become hTs bride. He determined, in the black malignity of his soul, to become the spfoiler of the peace of that domestic circle where,', oefore, all was tranquil, happiness and joy. Like the gaze of the basilisk, his treach erous eye was fixed upon that fair victim, and he might not escape. Now he stood before the alter and'plighted to' Miss B ; his faith, and the nuptial' lie was proclaimed to the world by the public journalswhen, noi twenty miles distant lived a lawfully wed wife, who, perhaps, at l he moment of his marriage with Miss B sighed with a throbbing heart for her husband's return. The tale stops noi here. Soon after his sec ond marriage, Smith alias Boling (a young man of fair complexion and genteel dress) told his new fatherrin-Jaw that he had been sadly dis appointed in not having received the funds from Alabama, which he had so long expected, but still pretended that he confidently expected i-lein to arrive in a short time stated; moreover that hj3 had bargained with a Mr. Edward C. BoHnr of this qounty for a tract nf land,. and Jbr which he agreed tp py Idling, the tfujrv m lion with a young man, a relative of Mrs. Smith, arrived at Yancyville, the county seat of this county, on his way, as he said, to, South ampton, to take charge of several negroes which he owned there, and to collect a large sum of money then due him; but on his arrival at the court-house he made oui to the young man, that his horse was too lame to travel fur ther sent the young man on lo Southampton, staring lhat he would return, get another horse? and soon be witH him. Thus thoy parted, and the young man is now, perhaps, awaiting Smith's alias Boling's presence in Southamp ton or inquiring in vain after the properly. We have said they parted. Smith pretended to go back. Coi. Lee deputy sheriff, who had been on the lookout for Boling was informed that he was in the village; on furiher inquiry he learned that Bolmg had left town some one had met him. Col. Lee mounted his horse, and pursued him; he overtook Boling, who was on his wav to the residence of his first wife, ami brought him to town. Imagine ihe feelings of his new father-in-law, who was in Yancyville, on lhat day, seeing Boling's arrest, as he stepped imo the court-house to observe 'the culprit, for the first time, and at a glimpse exclaimed:---"My God! that's ihe man who .married my daugh ter. Boling having been brought before an exam ing court, was required to give bail in the sum of S5,000, with iwo or more securities, which failing to do, was committed to jail, and the witnesses bound lo appear ai Guilford Superior Court, where ihe defendant Bolinjr will have his trial before the Hon.

A NATURAL REI7IJEBr, Suited Jo our Constitutions, and competent to the cure of every curable disease will be found in the INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS, OF THE r3rS2i American College of SIcaltli. 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 THJfl INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS are found ed upon the principle that the human body is in truth f. x . SUBJECT TO BUT ONE Jj'SEASE, viz: corrupt humors, and that said medicine cures this disease on - NATURAL PRINCIPLES by cleansing and jmrifying the body; it will be.man ifest, that if the constitution be not entirely ex hausted a perseverance in their use, according to directions, is absolutely certain to drive disease of every name from the body. When Ave 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 cause 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 before 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 universal i satisfaction, or obtained such a permanent hold upon the affections of the people. Not only do all w,ho 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 this 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 opinion's 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. Fi'om the Philadelphia Saturday Eoepmg 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 Stales. The attempt of per sons to defraud the public by the sale of spurious articles, meets 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 pretly well satisfied by this time, that Calomel, and the other thousand and one min eral preparations of the shops, are better adapted, as a general rule, to kill rather than cure the pa tient; as a matter of course, vegetable medicine's 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 AMERl6AN COLLEGE OF HEALTH, sold at 169 Race street, Phiadolphii ; as they are the preparation of one intimately acquainted with the healing aft.

There used to bo in the community, a great repugnanco to the use of QUACK medicines, as they are all indiscriminate ly termed, but. it was maiuly owing to the regular M. D!'s constantly denouncing them. They are however, becoming more liberalin this respect,and the consequence is that good vegetable medicines are now more extensively used than formerly.. Extract of a letter from Peter Christ, Uniontown) Carrol County, Md., Nov. 17th, 1838. Dear Sir: About two months ago, I had busi ness in Baltimore, and called at your office, and bought ajw boxes of the Indian Vegetable Pills; and upon trying them I found them to be far, supe-- nor to : Fills, or any otner medicine I had ever used. I had been subject to a cough Tor five years past, and during the time have taken aA-ari- ety of medicines .without any relief, until I got ihe Indian Vegetable Pills, and by taking fouy. dosesj the cough began to leave me; and I now enjoy bet. ter health than I have dons for years past. A fter 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 .

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, Stewjfr? 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 terms 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! or 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 FARNITAM. . 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 wo had taken al 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 oblig 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. AC few days' ago, there was a lady sent 30 miles"'td 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; but 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 mei icino, we could estnblish other agents, which would be of immense advantage not only fo the NORTH AMERICAN COLLEGE OF HEALTH; but to the public generally.
