Cat-egory,—A late medical work says' that the bite of a cat, when enraged, will produce hydrophobia; although they may not have been bitten themselves; and re lates two circumstances. One of a young man who was bitten, and died on the 49th day. with every symptom of hydrophobia, another of a milkman, who lay in wait for a cat that was in the habit of stealing hi s milk. Ile attacked the cat, when she aped upon his . face, and was only remo ved by killing it. In 22 days,the symptoms of that . dreadful malady made their ap pearance, and he soon died in the greatest agony. A woman vas burnt to death near West Chester, she was intoxicated. Sh e ' was so much in liquor, as hardly able to know that she was on fire. What a lesson to the Drunkard!!!

The Lewistown Student is advised to resume his studies, as regards a question which appeared in the Main County Gazette of the 5i nt I inst. The poetry is good, but, from the data given, the ques tion appears to be absurd. For, the combined sums of the partners are as follows: A. B and C.-,-- 350 lAs each person is B.

Evans' CELEBRATED MEDICINES, IN ALLEVIATING AFFLICTED MAN LEIND. CASE OE DYSPEPSIA, Mr. David Morris, 41 Sluflolk street, N. York, had been severely afflicted with dys pepsia for upwards of throe years, during which time he seldom experienced any re. lief. lie was troubled with constant vom itings, and on some occasions raised blond an occasional cough, with pain in the chest and difficulty of breathing, drowsiness, uneasy sleep, loss of appetite, giddiness, unpleasant taste in the mouth, with fur red tongue. All these distressing symp toms disappeared, after using Dr, 1% in. Evans' celebrated medicines. Aft. M. 'called a day or two back, and stated the above; also, lie is willing to afford any fur. ther information regarding the nature and cure of his case to those similarly afflicted Office No, 19 North eight st. Philadelphia. Philadelphia, Dec. 21. 1838. 'To Da. Wm, Evans—Dear sir: I am tru ly happy to write you this in token of thanks for the relief they have given me—l mean the CAMOMILE FILLS. About two years ago 1 wars much troubled with Dyspep sia. My symptoms were very alarming. 1 was sometimes subject to tainting, great weaknes-, no rest at night and not able to' eat anything, if 1 did it was sure to be thrown up, 1 could not keep any nourishment in my budy. lat last gave up all hope and told my physicians that I could have no use for them-4 must die,' said I; 'so there is no use in paying, any more doctor's bills,' A- Ibuut a month ago, a cousin of mine came to see me; after talking awhile about my sick ness I told him I had taken almost every,med icine that was spoken of as good for any com plaint. He said, 'Have you tried Dr. k:vans' CAMOMILE PILLS?' I said...No.' Well he then gave me a package hi had bought the day before for his wife, and said he wood get another for her. I commenced taking the pills and am happy to state, that in two weeks 1 was hearty and well, and able to write this letter, which I could not have dune when 1 was sick, because my hands were nervous. I havo written this in pure grat itude to you. I hope you will publish this and let it be known. I would publish it my self, but I am very poor and not able to pay. In publishing it, 1 think you will gain an ml vantage, for lam well o:lawn among all those of the trade I am in, and too many of them, I tear are now near deaths door, for want of souse proper medicine to cure Dyspepsia. Any person wishing to see -we can call at my house, No, 221 Poplar Lane; or at my shop in Front street, third door above (.oaten street, I remain yours, &c. GEO. C.

THE public are hereby informed, that JACOB MILLER has been appointed agent for Huntingdon county, for the sale of Dr, Evans' Camomile and family aperient pills, where all those that need medicine, can be supplied as he intends always to have a sup ply on IFE AND HEALTH,—Persons whose IWO nerves have been injured by Calomile, or excessive grief, great loss of blood, the sup pression of accustomed discharges or cuts. neous, intemperate habits, or other causes which tend to relax and enervate the ner vous system, will find a friend to soothe and comfort them, in EVANS' CAMOMILE PILLS. Those afflicted with Epilepsy or Falling Sickness, Palsy, Serious Apoplexy, and organic affections of the heart, Nausea, Vomiting, pains in the side, breast, limbs, head, stomach or back, will find themselves immediately relieved, by using IEVANS' CAMOMILE, AND APERIENT PILLS. DR. EVANS does not pretend to say that his medicine will cure all diseases that flesh anti blood are heir to, but he does says that in all Debilitated and Impaired Constitutions —in Nervous diseases of all kinds, particular ly of the DIGESTIVE ORGANS, and in Incipient Consumption, whether of tne lungs or liver, they will cure. That dreadful dis ease, CONSUMPTION, might have been checked in its commencement, and disap pointed its prey all over the land, is the first symptoms of Nervous Debility had been counteracted by the CAMOMILE FLOW ER chemically prepared; together with many other diseases, where other remedies have proved fatal. How many persons do we daily find tortu red with that dreadful disease. SICK HEADACHE, If they would only make trial of this invaluable medicine, they would perceive that life is a pleasure and not a vcource of misery and abhor. coce. In conclu sion I would warn nervous persons against the abstraction of BLOOD, either by leech es, etipping,;or the employment of the lancet. Drastic purgatives in delicate habits are al most equally improper. Those ,are prac tices too often resortea to in such cases, but they seldom fail to prove highly injurious. Certificates of cures are daily received which add sufficient testimony of the great e ffi cacy of this invaluable medicine, in relieving af flicted mankind. The above medicine is for sale at Jacob Miller's store, Huntingdon. ATTENTION! iluntingdon Infantry.
