Jn conclusion, I commend to your care,

are the exclusive legislators. Considering
that this city is the residence of the Gov
ernment, and for a large part of the year,
of Congress ; and considering also the
great cost of the public buildings, and the
propriety of affording them at all times
careful protection, it seems not unreason
able that Congress should contribute to

On Friday morning last, abont seven o'clock,
a fire broke out in the workshop of Mr. John
Dawes, situated at the corner of Church and
Siigreaves alleys. The building was a large
two story frame, occupied as a cabinet work
shop and ware room, and contained finished
and unfinished furniture, paints, varnishes, and
other combustible, articles, which caused the
fire lo spread v.eryapidly, and in a short time
the whole was consumed. Fortunately there
was no wind at the time, and the injury done
to the buildings in the immediate vicinity was
trifling. The fire originaiedifrom the stove,

Circular tetter to the Spcciaa Agents
of the Post Office JDcparlmcsit.
Post Office D e pa rtjient, Nov. 4, 1841.
Sir To the duties assigned you by any for
mer instruciions, as special and cotifitleniial
agent of this Department, I desire to add thai
of strictly observing the manner in which the
Post Offices are kept in ihe section and along
ihe lines of route you may be called to inspect
and travel.
The Post Master General eipecls that every
Post Office, whatever may be its importance,
shall be attended lo or supervised by ihe depu
ty postmaster. The praciice which, I regret
to learn, has obtained in many poriions of the
United States, of one man holding the commis
sion of postmaster while another discharges its
duties, must be stopped ; and when such cases
fall within your knowledge, I desire that they
shall be made the subject of special report.
Great carelessness in the opening and keep
ing the mail in insecure places, and permitting
persons other than ihe posimasier or his Own
assistants, to have access to the same when
opening or after it is opened, has been chargedj
in general terms, upon many of ihe small towns
and villages. This evil must be corrected, and
when you have evidence of the fact, it is ex
peeled you will make it known to ihe Depart
ment, that the only efficient remedy may?bc
applied. I will not continue in office those
who will not themselves give their time and
atlenlion to the discharge of its duties, orwho
violate or suffer violations of the t rules of the
Department in opening and distributing the
mail. -v?
Jt is also desirable that youbserve ihe de
partment of all carriers and drivers of mails',
and report any misconducUarising from wilful
negligence or carelessness and inattention, lo
their employers and loathe Department.
Many complaints have been made against
the agents or traveling postmasters on railroad
routes ; you afeexpecled lo observe the con
duct of -such as may fall within the range of
your supervision
Information has been communicated to this
Department that drivers and carriers of the mail
on the more distant and more unimportant
routes, are in the habit of carrying letters in
violation of law, thereby lessening the income
of the Department. As this may be done in
ignorance of the law, you will inform and in
struct ihe contractors Id charge the carriers
and drivers not lo violate the law in this partic
ular. The act of 1823, "section 20, directs lhai
all carriers shall deliver such letters, whether
sealed or unsealed, lo the first Post Office at
which they arrive afier receiving ihem, and ihe
postmaster is directed lo rate and charge the
postage.
If you become salisfied that any Post Office
is not of public utility, and not required for ihe
public accommodation, you will report thai fact
and the reasons for the opinion.
Upon the acfive exertion and vigilant super
vision of the special agents of this Department,
mainly depend the regularity, security and effi
ciency of mail transportation, and I cannot too
slronnly impress upon you the imparlance and
hinh tesnonsibiliiy of your stations. It is to
you I he Postmaster General must look for ac
curate mformaliou upon all subjects pertaining
lo ihe out-door operations of the Department,
Give me your efficient aid, and do not despair
of making the Post Office Department eminent
ly useful and popular.
Very respectfully,
C. A. WICKLlFFE.

WAYNE COUNTY MUTUAL
INSURANCE COMPANY,
ALL Persons insuring in this company are
members equally interested in its welfare
and in the election of its officers.
In order to become a member of this company
and thereby be insured, the applicant gives a pre
mium note, the- amount of which is in proportion
to the amount to be insured, and its degree of
hazard, thus: If $1000 is to be insured, at 5 per
cent., he gives his note for $50. If at 10 per cent,
he gives his note for $100, and in that proportion
lor a greater or less sum, according to the rate of
hazard, on which note he advances (5 per cent, and
an'additional sum of $1 50 for survey and policy.
He then becomes a member on the approval of
his application and is insured for five years. The
aggregate of the premium notes constitutes the
cash fund, chargable first, with the expenses, and
second, with the losses of the Company; and
should it prove insufficient to pay both losses and
expenses the money to meet the losses, (should
anyoccur) is borrowed agreeably to the act of in
corporation, and paid. An assessment is then
made to repay such loan upon the premium notes,
in proportion to their respective amounts, and in no
case tdjbe made but once a year, notwithstanding
several losses may happen.
At the expiration of five years the note, if any
assessments" have been made and paid, is given
up, and the insured may renew his application.
Policies may at any time be. assigned or sur
rendered and cancelled, and the premium notes
given up. according to the by-laws of the Com
pany. No .Inore than three fourths of the cash
value of dhyA property will be insured, and all
great hazards: such as Cotton Factories, Powder
Mills, Distilleries, Machine Shops, Manufactories
for Prlnter'sInlr, and all establishments of the
same class of hazards, arc not insured Upon any
conditions whatever, and that no one risk is taken
over $5000, it is considered much more safe and
less expensive than in Stock companies, where
they insure large amounts and hazardous proper

A iATUItAJL ISJEIJIEBY,
Sailed to our Conslilulions, and competent to the
cure of every curable disease will be found in the
INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS,
,OFTIIE
ft'orlli Aisierie:ii! College of Health.
THESE extraordinary Pills are composed of
plants which grow spontaneously on our own soil;
and are therefore, better adapted to our constitu
tions,tban 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 jmrifying the body; it will be man
ifest, that if the constitution be not entirely ex
hausted a perseverance in, their use, according
lo directions, is absolutely certain to drive disease
of evory 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 besl
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 front 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
satisfaction, or obtained such a permanent hold
upon the affections of the people. Not only do all
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 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 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.

THE INDIAN VEGETABLE TILLS.
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, iriects wiih 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.

THE INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS.
People arc pretty 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 medicines
are therefore in great request. There' are very
many humbugs, however, among the latfer, 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 OP HEALTH, sold at 189 Race
street, Phladelphia ; as they are the preparation of
one intimately acquainted with the healing art.

INDIAN VEGETABLE TILLS.
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 tlic North
American College of Health, No; 198 Tiomont
street Boston. Several instances we know of
where they are used in families with the highest
satisfaction; and no longer ago than yesterday, wo
heard an eminent Physician of the city recommend
them in high terms. There used to be in the
community, a groat repugnance to the use of
QUACK medicines, as they are all indiscriminate
ly termed, but it was mainly owing to the regular
ft I. D.'s constantly denouncing them. They aer
however, becoming more liberal in this respect, and
the consequence is that good vegetable medicines
are now more extensively used than formerly.

Dear Sir: About two months ago,- T had busi

bought a few boxes of the Indian Vegetable Pills;
and upon trying them I found them to be far supe
rior to Pills, or any other medicinal had
ever used. I had been subject to a cough for live1
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 etijoy 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 tlic .Y
DIAN VEGETABLE PILLS that I cannot
help but recommend them to every invalid I see
and think so well of the medicine that I have seat
two dozen boxes to my invalid friends, in t!ia

Mr. Wm. Wright Tear Sir you will please to

Vegetable Pills: as we are almost out of the arli-

here. We have a great call for the medicine at
present, and those tliat have used them, speak very
high of them. One gentleman attributes his being

your Indian Vegetable Pills, and is willing you

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 look one
gross on trial; but it would have been belter if wo
had taken a half dozen gross; for on a fair trial
they have far exceeded our most sanguine cxpertc -ttons.
In fact so much so that we have been oblig
ed to send to ftlr. Zimmerman, at Lancaster, more
than a hundred miles from here, for ten dozen; but
these will last but a very short time, the way vwe
are selling them since they hive 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 thenu A
few days ago, there was a lady sent 30 miles toge-t
a box of the Pills, she at the time was very low,
and unable to turn herself in bed; hut in two days,
my informant says she was ablo-to help herself.
We could mention many other cases, but deem
it unnecessary at this time; but would merely sav,
that as the season is fast approaching when there
will be a great demand for the Indian Vegetable
Pills; raid if wo only could get a supply of the med
icine, we could establish other agents, which wou -1
bo of immense advantage not only to the NORTH
