At
IiClter from Gov; Ramsey.
In a loiter from Gov. Ramsey, says the Leh
anon Courier, to one of our friends in this
county, which' we have been permitted to read
and extract from, ire find information which
will ,be, of advantage, perhaps, to some of our
readers and which gives an idea of the re
sources and prospects of- the new territory that
can be relted on. If any of our young men
think of" seeking their lortunes in the great
West, we would advise them, by all means, to
gtve'consideration to Minnesoto :
St. Paul, Minnesoto, )
September 19, 1849. $
- In almost every industrial
pursuit, asfarmers, mechanics, merchants, &c,
Penntylvanians would be at home here, and
from their high character for integrity, would,
1 am suresoon place themselves in comtorta
ble positions. The great characteristic of this
country, and one that I am satisnea will insure
its rapid settiemen', is this : that whil.o the
soil is W fertile as any in the Valjey of the
Mississippi, it is happily as healthy as the
mountain regions of Pennsylvania. We have
no fever and ague here. In emigrating from
Pennsylvania to Illinois, you would have to
anticipate suffering for two or three years from
spells of fever, or fever and ague, until you be
come acclimated ; here there is nothing of that
kind to be feared. Here all kinds of farm
produce command higher prices than in Penn
sylvania, and this will long continue to be the
case, as the military posts and Indian agencies,
pineries and the fur trade will ever continue to
give us a good home market, and the Missis
sippi opens a highway for the outlet of our sur
plus produce.
Of all other people I bhall bo most happy to
see Pennsylvanians among us. There are
now a large number here. I shall myself feel
more al home when they settle amongst us, and
I know that in them the Territory will have
its best and most reliable population.
Bv all means advise your friends and mine
to nav us a visit, and see for themselves : if
they do so, I have no doubt hey will remain.
tRemember me to my Lebanon county friends,
for, whom I shall ever cherish the warmest feel
ings. Very truly, yours &c,
ALEX. RAMSEY.

Interesting and Probably Important
News from Sir John Franklin.
Capt. Chapel, of the bark McLellan of this
port, from Davis' Stftits, whose arrival we an
nounced yesterday morning, furnishes informa
tion which will at least be read, with interest
in the United States, and indeed in every part
of the world. About the 1st of August, while
the McLellen laid in Pond's Bay, an indenta
tion of Baffin's Bay, in lat. 74, Ion. 72, the na
tives of the coast came on board the Chieftain,
an English whaleman, and gave information by
signs that two large ships were then lying in
Prince Regents Inlei, and had been there fast
in the ice for four seasons ; and being asked
with regard to those on board, whether they
were dead or alive, they replied in the same
way that the crews were not " asleep" (that is,
not dead) but were all well. This information
was considered by the Englishman and by
Capt. Chapel, as indicating that the ships of
Sir John Franklin were clearly meant.
The Englishman landed at Capo Hay, some
distance from Pond's Bay a quantity of coal
and provisions with which his ship was fur
nished by the British Government for the use
of the long missing ships, if they should chance
to come there, as they would be obliged to do
on their return to England. This is certainly
the latest news from that quarter, and there is
a possibility, perhaps a probability, that the
commander of the unfortunate expedition and
bis crews are still alive. Heaven send that it
may be so !
The McLellan and her gallant officers and
crew have reached home almost by miracle
at any rate have done so under circumstances
that entitled them to the highest credit.
On the 12th of June the bark got nipped"
in the ice and only escaped destruction by the
almost superhuman exertions and good conduct
of those who were in charge of her. She
was bo severely injured that she leaked so as
to keep afloat only by the incessant work of
nearly all hands at the pumps, and by means
of two large metallic pumps obtained by Capt.
Chapel from the wreck of the English ships
crushed and totally lost just ahead of him.
The leak was, however, partially remedied by
thrumbed sails under the bow, though she con
tinued to leak badly until her arrival home, and
was only kept above water by continual and
unceasing labor al the pumps, till she reached
the dock, which indeed is still obliged to be
continued as she lies at the wharf. The two
English ships, Superior and Lady Jane, men
tioned yesterday, were both lost very near the
McLellan. Two of tho crew of the lost ships
arrived in her. They are natives of the Shet
land Islands.
On the 30ih of August, the McLellan lost a
man named Joseph Schneider, of New York;
who fell from the mizzen-lon mast head and
lived but 20 minutes, being shockingly man
gled in the head and limbs. He was 21 years
old.
It is due to Captain Cbapal, his gallant offi
cers and ship's company, again to say that their
conduct in bringing home their vessel, is de
serving of more than common praise, and even
with their exertions, it could not have been
done, but for the staunch and enduring qualities
of the ship. The skill and perseverance of the
officers and men were objects of admiratiton to
the Englishmen who witnessed them.
We may give more particulars of the Mc
Lellans voyage hereafter.
Overflow of Red River.
The Alexandria Republican states the losses
through the inundation will be immense. In
that parish alpne, if the crop of cotton be es
timated al 25,000 bales, and of shgar ai 40,000
hogsheads, with the usual quantity of molasses,
the loss will be 1,700,000 dollars ; and should
the injuries done to the com crop and property
generally be taken into consideration it will
run up to 3,000,000 dollars. The Red River
valley, instead of giving 130,000 bales of cot
ton will not yield this year more than 30,500
dollars. Here is a loss of 5,000,000 dollars.

Remarkable Cholera Story.
An incident of the cholera occurred in this
city a few days since which for several rea
sons we think worth recording. Among the
households which had been entered and strick
en by the fatal disease was that of Mr. Hang
ley, a worthy Irishman, who has long been
employed by the Commissioner of streets.. His
wife, a warm hearted, motherly woman,, de
votedly attached to children and self-sacrificing
to promote their welfare and happiness,
was taken with the cholera arid died and was
buried on Thursday, Sept. 20th. Next a love
ly little daughter, 7 years of age, was taken
sick, and she too died, and her body laid out,
and her limbs adjusted in the embrace of the
king of terrors. The father applied to Alder
man Wingate for a coffin, but for some cause
it could not be had immediately, and its deliv
ery was postponed for an hour or two : during
this time Mr. Hangly returned home, when the
supposed dead child stretched forth her arms,
with the exclamation, "Oh, Father! I have
been to heaven and it is a beautiful place !"
After the surprise and the excitement of the
girl had subsided, she gave a relation of what
she had seen as she expressed it, ' in heaven."
She saw her mother in heaven, and she was
taking care of little children, manv of whom
she called by name, among others she said were
four children of Uncle Hanelev. and three
children of Uncle Casey's. " Aunt Lynch is
not mere now, but she will be to-morrow : and
on Sunday 1 shall go back again."
" But," said an older sister, " it cannot be so
dearest, for there are but two of Uncle Cassy's
cnnuren dead J '

Jl -l- 1 -
dressed in white, and all were very happy and
tne cnuaren playing. Uh ! it was beautiful
there : and I shall go there again next Sunday
afternoon at lour o clock."
Mr Hangley immediately informed Mr. Win
gate that his daughter was not dead; when he,
in company with Dr. Morrison, visited the
house, and the little girl related substantially
the same story. It seems, too, that shortly
alter this relation ol the little girl, of what she
had seen and heard in heaven, a message came
from Mr. Casey in Carmel, giving information
of the death of another child, and inviting them
to attend the luneral.
Of the four children of her uncle Hangley,
two died in this city, and two were drowned
on their passage from Ireland
We called on Saturday to see and talk with
this little girl, but she was very feeble, and
just then in a drowse and we did not allow her
to be disturbed. She is said to have a very
thoughtlul and serious countenance, and to be
a very interesting child. She had no wish to
live, but preferred returning to her mother.
The father and sisters are seriously, but very
happily, impressed with the relations of this
sweet child, and joyfully believe the story she
tells. Their house is a pattern of neatness,
and they all possess hearts overflowing with
affection, and are sincerely happy on account
of their heavenly messenger.

where she had been seen by their angel sister,
who has been permitted to return to the earth,
and to make the fact known to them.
Since the above was published there hare
been a great many inquiries respecting this
little girl, some of which we will now answer.
Although at the time of the seeming death of
this child it was not supposed that her aunt
Lynch was dangerously ill, she not having the
cholera but attacked with dysentery. But she
died the next day as stated.
On Sunday afternoon, Mr. Daniel Warren,
a very worthy religious man, who has been
much among cholera patients, and feeling, per
haps, a little moved by curiosity,- called to seo
the little girl, and addressed her cheerfully, and
told her that she appeared better, and would
soon be well, and get out in a day or two.
"But I am going to mother again at four
o'clock," she quietly and softly said.
" When, to-morrow V
' No, to-day.'
Mr. Warren endeavored to-turn her attention
to hopeful prospects of recovery ; but the little
sufferer was fast sinking away the death-rat
tie was heard, and she soon ceased to breathe
her oulse stopped and the fixedness of death
was impressed upon her beautiful countenance
She was dead !
Mr. Warren looked at the town clock, in the
distance, from the window, for there was no
clock in the house, and it was four o'clock.
While pondering upon, to him, the singular
coincidence in this case, and about half an hour
had passed when new signs of life appeared
and again the spirit of the sweet girl returned.
She asked for water and said she was tired,
and sank away into a quiet sleep.
Since then she has been gradually recover
ing, but her elder sister who watched her so
tenderly, and who would so willingly have ac
companied her to live with her blessed mother
in heaven, was the next day taken with the
cholera and the following day died and was
buried.
The father of this girl is ignorant, yet a spe
cimen of a pure warm heart, with all the unso
Dhiaticated simplicity and truthfulness of na
ture. He is poor. He had a large family; and
he says that for the whole season he had but
two pounds of butter in his house, and they
had only meal but twice. They had lived al
most wholly upon bread and lea.
Such are the simple facts in the case which
we leave for the present without comment or
attempted explanation. Bangor Whig of Fri

Singular 'Adventure Willi aRattle
siiake. , ,
A young man named Geo. Keller, in Union
Township,, Berks Co. Pa., on the 5th ult., came
across a largo rattlesnake ; arming himself with
a stick he made for the reptile and pinned U
fast, after two-thirds of its body had disappeared
oeiween tne rocKs. ne then very cooiiy iook
out bis knife, and proceeded to cut off the ra(
ties, but while in the act, the head of the snake
found an opening in the rock, and with its body
fast, reached round and bit him on the point of
one of his fingers. He immediateiycut out the
bitten part, and wound a string lightly round the
finger to prevent the circulation of the poison
through his system. The hand and arm soon
became enormously swollen. After severe suf
fering in which the young man became almost
blind, the physicians succeeded in placing him
beyond the reach of danger. One of the .first
acts, after his recovery,, was tb visit the scene
of his disaster, where he found the. snake still
pinned to the rock. This time he made sure;
work by killing it outright.
The Poor Londoner's meat and
Drink.
In this great metropolis the food we eat, and:
the water we drink, are grossly sophisticated.
The shambles teem with unwholesome meat,
which, by tbe craft of the butcher, is sold to
the poor aB cheap and wholesome food. The
grocer finds it to his profit to vend or " genu
ine young Hyson" sloe-leaves and.raiain-atalks;
and the milkman aids in the work of destroy
ing the health of this city by selling for " gen
uine milk and cream," a vile mixture of sheep's
brains, sugar of lead, and chalk. The artizan,
moreover drinks in his " London stout," cop
peras and coccleus mdicus ; in his gin, cay
enne pepper and oil of vitriol ; in his brandy,
a fiery malt spirit, disguised with burnt sugar
and different essential oils to give it a red
cognac flovor ; in his water a clarified infusion
of decayed vegetables and human excretae.
Indigo Curious Fact.
The Indigo plant was a native of South Car
olina. It grew spontaneously among its weeds
and woods and hills. More than one hundred
years ago the planters there commenced its
cultivation. In the year 1748, South Corolina
exported to Great Britain, 200,000 lbs,, and the
Parliament granted a bounty of 12 cents per
pound to induce its greater cultivation. In
1787, when that ordinance was passed, indigo
was one of the staples of South Carolina, and
we believe of Georgia also. Now in 1849, not
a single pound of Indigo is raised in South
Carolina, or as far as we know, in all the south.
A plant which is indigenous to that region, and
which in its early cultivation was exceedingly
profitable, has been driven from existence by
the cheap labor of India. Great Britain now
pays seven millions ol dollars a year lor indigo

Death Iy a drop of JLaudaiiuin.
There is an account in the last number of the
New England Surgical Journal, of a child be
ing poisoned by the administration of one drop
of laudanum, by its mother, for griping. It
was a fine healthy child, and 11 lived but eleven
hours after tho laudanum was administered.
People should be very careful about the use of
drugs that are reputed dangerous, especially in
administering the same to children, who can
not tell the state of their feelings.
Iron for Apple Trees.
A correspondent of the Albany Cultivator,
writing from Fredericksburg, Va., says : " A
nend who has a large orchard of Kawl s Jan-
nelt apple,' has ten trees upon one corner of
the orchard which always produce fruit a third
arger, and flavor so much superior, that it was
supposed by all who saw and ate the apple,
ihat they were of a superior variety of the
Jannett. This spring I examined the soil, and
bund that a vein of iron ore passed just under
the ten trees, so near the surface that it had
been ploughed and worked up with the top soil.
A variety of the large blue plum growing upon
he same ground is also very fine, while grafts
aken from the same plum trees and woikcd
upon stocks grown on oinereni son, prove
worthless.
Bachelors at a Premium.
The Nottingham Mercury says that a bache
lor living at Mansfield, lately ordered the (own
crier to announce his want of a wife, 30 years
old, of amiable temper, and clean and industri
ous habits. He was so overwhelmed with ap
plicants that he found himself unable to make
a choice, and was compelled to leave the town
to escape his impending fate.
In a bad Way.
Tho editor of the Abbeville Independent,
published in Vermillion Parish, Louisiana, says
he has been on the borders of starvation ever
since he has been there. Corn cannot be had !
al any price, there not being a sufficiency
raised in tho Parish for breadstuff. He longs
to eat a corn dodger with fresh butter smeared
on it.
Gutta Percka Solutions.
Gutta Percha readily dissolves in a solution
of chloroform without tbe aid of heat. The so
lution thus formed makes a capital varnish, for
if it is brushed on any object, the chloroform

evaporates with great rapidity, and Ieavos. a

and air. It is therefore excellent as a plaster
for cuts. This solution is excellent to preserve
fruit in a collection of natural history. Here
tofore wax has been used for this purpose, but
it is not so good as this, for this solution pre
vents the fruit from drying. This solution is
the best and most delicate varnish for paintings
and drawings on paper.

I Farmer in Weslcnesjer County;
j , ' " . Fordham, August. 13, 1847.
' Dr. Tounsend Dear Sir.: I, have a little jrirl, seven years
of age, who has been several years fflicted with Fits; wo
tried almost everything" for her; but without success ; at Isst,
although we could find no recommendation in your circulars
for cases like hers, we thought, as she was in very delicate
health, we would give her some of your Sarsaparilla. and ar
. very giad wc did, for it not only 'restored her strength, but sb
has had no return of the Fits, to our great pleasure and sur
prise. , She Is fast becoming rugged and healthv. for which w
feel grateful. Your, respectfully, ; .
Female Sfediciaci.
Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla is a sovereign and speedy cura
for Incipient Consumption, Barrenness, Prolapsus Uteri, or
Falling of the Womb. Costiveness, Piles, Leucorrhcea, ot
Whites, obstructed or difficult Menstruation, Incontinence of
Uriue, or involuntary disclinrgthercof, and for the general
prostration of the systemno, matter whether the rssult
of inherent cause or causes, produced by irregularity, illness
or accident.. Nothing can be more surprising than its In
vigorating effects on the-;huraan frame. Persons all weakness
and lassitude, from taking it, at once bocorae robust and full
of energy .under its influence. It immediately counteracts
the nerveleasness of, the, female frame, which is the great causa
of Barrenness. It will not be expected of us, in cases of so
delicate a nature, te exhibit certificates of cures performed,
but we can. assuro-tho' afflicted,, that hundreds of cases have
boon reported to us. Thousands of cases where families hava
been without children after usinga few bottles of this invalua
ble Medicine, havo been blessed with fine, healthy offspring.
Gceat Blessing te Metacr aasl Childrea.
It is tho safest and most effectual medicine for 'purifying tha
aystem, and relieving tho sufferings attendant upon child
birth ever discovered. It strengthens both the mother and
the child, prevents pain and disease, increases and enriches
the food ; those who have used it, think it is indispeuia,
ble. It Is highly useful both before and after confinement,
as it prevents diseases attendant upon child-birth in Cos
tiveness, Plies, Cramps Swelling-of the Feet, Despondency,
Hoartburn. Vomitings Pain .in the. Back and Loins.. Falsa Pains.
Hemorrhage, and in regulating the secretions, and equalizing
the circulation,' it has no equal. Tho great beauty of this
medicine is, it is always safe, and the most delicate use it
most successfully, .yexy.-.fsw.case require ;any other medi
cine, in some a little Castor. Oil, or Magnesia is useful .Ex
ercise in the open air, and light food with this medicine, will
always secure a safe, and easy cqnBuement..
Beaaly aad Health.
Cosmetics; Chalk, and a variety of preparations generally
in usewhen .applied to the face, very soon spoil it of iu
beauty. They.close the.poresofthe skin. and check the circu
lation, which, when nature is uotkthwarted by, disease ot
powder, or' the skin inflamed by the alkalies used in soaps,
beautifies its bwn production in the '"human face .Divine,','
as well as in, the garden of rich and tielicalfely tinted varie
gated, flowers. " A..free, active and healthy circulation of the
fluids, or the coursing of the-pure, rich blood, to the extremi
ties, is that which paints Ihe countenance in the most exqui
site beauty.. It is that which imparts the indescribable shtdss
and flashes of loveliness that all admire,' hut none can do
scribe. This beauty is the offspring of nature net ofpmcdtr
or soap. If there is', not . a rea and. healthy circulation. tbr
is no beauty. Jf the Idy is fair as driven jnow, if sho paints,
aud use cosmetics, and tha blood is thick, c61d.atid impure,
she is. not boautifuL If she be brown or yellow, and there
is pure and active blood, it gives a rich bloom 1Q the cheeks,
and a brilliancy to their eyes that is fascinating. .
This is why the southern, and especially the Spanish ladies,
arc so much admirsd. Ladies in tbe north, wha take but
little exercise, or are confined in dose rooms, or have spoiled
their complexion by the application of deleterious mixtures,
if they wish to regain elasticity of step, buoyant, spirits, spark
ling eyes and beautiful complexion,. ,tbey should use Dr.
Townsend's Sarsaparilla. Thousands' who have tried it, are
more than satisfied, are delighted. Ladies or every ststioa
crowd our office daily.
The Kev. Joists SCger
Of. Jersey. City. an old and highly respectable clergyman
of the Baptist denomination,' handed in the following certifi
cate at Dr, Townsend's office. It speaks for itself:
Dr. T.ownsend Dear Sir: lam constrained to give you
statement of the benefit I. derived from using your Sarsapa
rilla; believing, by so doing, I shall rsuder a' benefit to those,
who aro suffering as I have"beob. I was' reduced for many
months by tho'Dyspepsia, so much that it was with much dif
ficulty fbr mo to walk or keep about. I .had" also & tetter,
which covered the most part "of my head which was ex
trcmely troublesome and sore ; it got to be almost a scab. I
used quite a number of remedies for both the complaints, but
received little or no benefit, until 1 took your Sarsaparilla.
which, through tho kindness of Providence, has restored ma
to more than my usual health, as I am now enjoying baiter
thau J hare for a, number of year. I am now 60 years of
age. . I believe it to be an invaluable medicine, and recom
mend h, to my numerous acquaintances, which is very larrr.
as I have been a minister a great many years. I hope tni
fa asty sketch may be as much benefit to you aa your medicine
haataroo. . - JOHN SEGEIl, Jersey City.
