We stated the other day, iri general terms, the case of a man in the Newton Poor House, who after an insanity of about 'forty years (thir ty of which he was chained,) had recoxerod his reason.. The name of the unfortunate man is Elisha Robbins, formerly a; shoemaker by trade. He was born abotit the year 1786, and is therefore nearly 64 years of age. He was 24 years ola when first seized with insanity. Ai that time he had just I si his wife, he had two children then liiing. Soon after his seiz ure he was so violent that it became necessary 10 chain him down, without clothes save a shirt, and with only straw to sleep upon. The course was rendered absolutely necessary by his hab it, which wefo no belter than those of the beasts of the field. At one timo the paupers were farmed out by the town to the lowest bidders. Among others was Robbins, who was chained in a barn by his keeper, where he was found one day with his feet frozen so as to render their amputation necessary. He was forthwith removed, and Mtice that time has had every comfort compati bln with his situation his room being always kept warm. About a year ago, Robbins first began to exhibit signs of returning reason. It was observed that he paid more attention to personal cleanliness. He was encouraged, and shortly appeared after the laps of nearly a cen tury in the clothing of a man. Soon after he was allowed to wander about the building, and at limes he would turn to and help in light work, such as husking corn, &c. Finally, he began to talk of persons and pla ces familiar in his youthful days, before reason was clouded ; but beyond that period all to him was blank. He described with perfect accura cy places with which he was conversant in his earlier days ; spoke of ihe companions of that period ; one in particular whom he denomina ted a "gal," ihough if now living she has at tained to over three score years. He has been tried in various ways as to the verge of his memory ; but it always stops at the commence ment of his insanity. One day the marriage of an acquaintance, which took place in his early days of reason, was mentioned, and the name of the bride intentionally misstated. He in stantly corrected the error, and gave the right name. When asked in what year he was born? he replies, " About 1786" bui still insists that he is but twenty-four years of age. At the last accounts he continued to improve, and it was hoped that reason was again firmly seated upon her throne. Condition of California. The Albany Argus of yesterday publishes a letter from Col. Stevenson dated Monterey, Oei. 23 1848, from which we take the follow- ing This country is in a deplorable condition. without either civil or military law or govern ment. At this moment there is not in this town the late capital either Governor, Al calde, Adjutant General, or any other person clothed with authority, except Captain Burton, late Lieutenant Colonel, (commanding ihe post) and some twenty regular soldiers. All ihe others have deserted. Of ihe company of Dra goons. C of 1st regiment, but about twenty re main, and they are divided into two detach ments, 500 miles apart. All the recruits thai lately came out here deserted, and I have no doubt'that the whole military force of the coun try will in a short time consist of the officers of the artillery and dragoon company, and even they have strong inducements to desert if not to dig for gold, at least to find some place where a common round jacket may be purchased for less than fifty dollars, and where very indiffer ent board will not cost four dollars per day. In short, 1 regret to say thai there is neither law, order, nor any kind of Government, civil or military, in the country It is simple anarchy, and the power of the strongest. The wild In diaiM infest even the most public highways, and shoo.i down with their arrors the unarmed traveler, merely for his clothes. They enter ihe ranches and compel their inmates to enter tain them with the besi they have, and then drive off their horses. How long this lawless condition of things is to continue no one can tell. An effori should be made to organize pome kind of Government, not only for the pro tection of the inhabitants, but for the occupa tion of the country. In soil, climate and pro duction, and especially in its gold and silver mines, it is worthy of the protecting hand of the home Governmeut. And if it were not, common humanity and justice demand it. Every day develops increased wealth in the gold regions, and the necessity of establishing some standard of rule of value, either in ingots or coin. A Pedler in Chicago, a few days since, fell in a fit, in the street. Attached to his clothes was a card upon which was written, "If 1 fall in a fit, light my pipe it is the only thing that will relieve me." This was done and the man was relieved in the manner prescribe?. So says the Chicago Tribune. KTOn Dil. It is reported that Mr. Buchanan's friends are already moving with a view to make;. him a candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, at the next gubenalorial election. He will have to en counter a determined opposition in his own party more determined than any other man who could be brought forward.

The ladies are all jealous 'of Clickener's Suear- coated Purgative Pills, for heretofore they (the ladies) flattered themselves that they were the on ly medicine in nature which was at the same time sweet to the lips and .reviving to the heart.

The cough of consumption hath in it a sound of Death ! Are you a mother ? Your darling child, jTour idol and earthly joy, is now perhaps, confined to her chamber by a dangerous cold, her pale cheeks, her thin shrunken finger, tell the hold disease has already gained upon her, the sound of her sepulchral cough pierces your soul. Young man, when just about to enter life, disease sends a hear-crushing blight over the fair prospects of the future, your hectic cough and feeble limbs tell of your loss of hope, but you need not despair. There is a balm which will heal the wounded lungs, it is Sherman's all-healing balsam. Mrs. Attrecthe vjfe pf Vr. H. Atlree, Esq., was given up by Dr. Sewall of Washington, Drs. Roe and McClellan of Philadelphia, Dr. Roe and Dr. Molt of New York, Her friends all thought she must die. She had every ap pearance of b'eirfg in consumption, and was bo pronounced by her physicians Sherman's. Bal sam was given and ii cured her. Mrs. Garrabraniz, of Bull's Ferry, was also cured of consumption by this Balsam when all other remedies failed to gire relief she was reduced to a skelton. Dr. A. C. Castle, Den tist j 281 Broadway, has witnessed its effects in several cases where no other medicine af forded relief but the Balsam operated like a charm. Dr. C. also witnessed its wonderful effects in curing Asthma, which it never fails of doing. Spitting Blood, alarming as it may be, is effectually cured by this Balsam." It heals the ruptured or wounded blood vessels,' and makes the lungs sound again. Rev. Henry Jones, 108 Eighth avenue, was cured of cough and catarrhal affection of 50 years standing. The first dose gave him more relief than ali the other medicine he had ever laken. Dr. L. J. Beals, 19 Delancy-sireet, gave it to a sister-inlaw who was laboring un der Consumption, and to another sorely afflic ted with the Asthma. In both cases its effects were immediate, soon restoring ibem to com fortable health. Mrs. Lchretia Wells, 95 Chrisiie-st. suffered from Asthma 42 years. Sherman's Balsam relieved her at once, and she is comparatively well, being enabled to subdue every attack by a timely use of this medicine. This indeed is the great remedy for Coughsj Colds, Spitting Blood, Liver Complaints, and all the affections of the throat, and even Asthma and Consump tion. Price 25 cents and Si per bottle.
