him, and they walked to his room to
gether. The deaf lodger patronized the
house to the extent of another bottle be=

it up, ventured once more to inquire his
name
"Nothing, more," said he, "except a
slice of cold ham, a pickle, and a little
bread and cheese." The next morning
after breakfast when the stranger's horse
was at the door, he asked for his bill.—
He was told it was six dollars and three
quarters. . .
"You are very kind, I had expected
to pay you ; but if this is your custom,
to-charge nothing for the first visit, you

I would thank you to pay your bill
before you go," screamed the har•keep r
er."

gentleman. "I can put them on," and
he took up his saddlebags end departed.
As he mounted, the bystanders began to
laugh immoderately at the awkward cm
barrasment which afflicted the bar-keep
er, who was in dispair, while.he bawled
after the delinquent who continued bow
ing, and repeating his assurances, that
he would certainly remember the accom
modations, civility and liberality of the
house, and.recominend it to all his friends
who might pass through the city. The
gentleman who so well affected deafness
won the wager he had staked on the sue=
teas of his scheme, .and paid his bill the
next time lie visited the city.
THE POWER OF CONSCIENCE.-A legal
friend in an adjoining county, mentions
a very curious case of lunacy, the facts
of. which were developed in a recent in
vestigation. An Englishman, a resident
of this country for several years,.recei
ved before leaving England quite a large
sum of money as a legacy from his lath.
er. Ile was worth previously a consid
erable property. By a codicil in the
will he received one hundred and sixty
pounds, which in the body of the instru
ment were reserved to a brother and sis
ter. This latter sum was secured by
some persuasion and effort on the part
of the recipient, although it has never
been supposed that lie resorted to any
means positively unfair or improper.—
This additional sum, thus obtained, so
pressed upon his thoughts and con
science as finally to drive him raving
mad.
He is now an inmate of the asylum at
Utica. He would pace his room all night
wring his hands, and exclaim in intense
agony, "1 did it." "I'm the man." "I'm
horribly guilty ; and shall be damned
hereafter." "My father altered his will;
and I told him to do it." lie fancied,
too, that he was beset with evil spirits
in consequence of the unfraternal act.—
Efforts, were made to divert his mind
from the one dark theme ; but in vain.
It was suggested to him that he might
now restore the £l6O, and thus atone
for every thing. "Not so," he always
replied—qt wouldn't be my father's will
—would it 1" "That's what troubles
me. I'd give all my property to change
that, but it's too lute."
"Ringing the changes" on this sore
point, his mind gradually became shat
tered, and nothing but constant watch
fulness prevented his self.destruction.—
Buffalo Courier.
PADDY'S BOOTS.—We heard a good
story of a green sprig from the Emerald
Isle, who, the other day, entered a Boot
and Shoe Store to purchase himself a
pair of brogans. After overhauling his
stock in trade without being able to suit
his customer, the shopkeeper hinted that
he would make a pair to order.
" And what will yer ax to make a good
pair uv tbem 7" was the qtiery.
The price was named ; the Irishman
demured, but after a "bating down" the
thing was a trade. Paddy was about
leaving the store, when the other called
after him, asking:
" But what size shall I make them,
sir 1"
~O ch !" cried Paddy promptly, diver
mind about the size, at all—make them as
large as ye convaniently can for the money.'
ID - There is a man in the south so
miserly that, when he sells a negro, he
shaves his head clean, that he may save
the wool to stuff cushions, &c.

Usaritotrtso Bah fts.-+-A writer of much ex-,
perience gives his views as to the best mode of
destroying brinrs, which proves so great a pest
on many otherwise, excellent, farms. He has
tried every conceivable mode. Cutting off and
hoeing out he has repeated over and over again,
without theJeast.auecess—as the more he cut
and hoed, the more thrifty they sprung nik. 'Hut
finally, he put the ground in with clover, thick
ly sown. The briars appeared next season' ns
tisual, but they were sickly', sheep then seers
turned in to , paSture on the clover—and the re--

Phis Is an easy mode for most farmers to try,
the writer is confident that clover is the great
enemy' al the briar unit a sore extirpator.

THE. GREAT CURE
CHAS, G. JOHNSON
of Bristol.
Who' was pronounced incurably fixed In
the last stage of Pulmonary Con
sumption, by two skillful Phy
sicians.
Mr. Johnson was rescued from death's door
by the use of Schneek's l'ulmonic Syrup—hav
ing been prostrated all winter, Isis case was
witnessed by several of the most respectable
citizens of this state, whose
!Rend
aro append
ed to his derti fi Cate. Rend ! and be con
vinced that Selineek's Pulmonary Syrup.is the
only certain cure for Consumption.
Bristol, Brteks county, Pa. t
Sept. 21,1849.
Da. J. 12. SCHNECIi, —DearSi r,—lem induced
from a sense of justice towards you, as well as
duty to the public, to make known one of the
most hopeless and extraordinary cures, in my
stun person, that you have ever had the pleasure
to record. Indeed, I regret my inability to por
tray, in truthful colors, my consuming disease,
and the remarkable chance which Schneck's
Pulmonary Syrup effected in so short a time.
I was taken some time previous to December
1848, with a heavy cold, producing incessant
coughing, accompanied with acute pain in the
right side, pains in the back, under the right
shoulder, having heavy night sweats, high fevers
&c., which made me so nervous and restless as
to produce utter prostration: AII these afflictions
increased with such violence, that on the 4th of
January last I sent for my family physician. He
attended me faithfully, and prescribed every thing
that medical skill could suggest, but without ef
fect. I found myself gradually growing wise,
and my hopes of recovery lessening so my dis
ease increased. My cough became distressing ;
my pains severe; and, extremely debilitated, I
lost all ambition in life, and gave up to a melan
choly depression. My physician examined me,
arid informed me I had an fibulas on the upper
part of my liver and lower part of one of ;try lungs.
Notwithstanding all this skill, i grow worse, but
with that tenacity with which we all cling to life,
I concluded to leave nothing undone, and called
in a consulting physician, who fully concurred
with my own, and pronounced my case an ex
tremely critical one. He thought I was in im
minent danger--saying my disease "was one the
is seldom if ever cured." All this time I was en
during sufferings that made life burdensome ; ex
perioncing great pain in coughing ; cxpectora
ting from a pint to a quart of nauceous matter
every 24 hours, and gradually sinking under the
weakning progress of my disease. At this stage
of my illness, my friends in Bristol suggested
the use of Schneck's Pulmontc Syrup, but know
ing the many expedients resorted to for the pur
pose of draining money from the afflicted, I hes
itated. My friends, however, insisting, I was
prevailed upon to try its virtues. I commenced
taking the Syrup about the first of March, and
used several bottle. before I had any confidence
in it. I then began to experience a change for
the hotter, and continued it till I had consumed
ten bottles, when I was so far relieved as to be
able to visit Dr. Schneck in Philadelphia. He
examined me, and pronounced my right lung af
fected, but in a healing condition. He recom
mended the further use of the Syrup, which I
continued till I consumed 15 bottles, and found
myself once more restored to health. I will fur
' ther add,that the consulting physician, seeing the
action of the tnedicine, fully approved its use.
To give the reader some idea of the severity
of my case, and the rapid cure affected by the
Syrup, I will state that my usual weight in
health was 177 pounds, which was finally re
duced by my sufierings to but 121 pounds. Yet,
on the first of this month, (September,) I weigh
ed
174 pound., thus gaining in a few months 53
pounds, and within three pounds of my heaviest
weight. It is not in my power to convey, in the
short space of this certificate, the convincing
proofs of my remarkable cure, or the particulars
of the agonizing afflictions through which I have
passed ; but to those who will take the trouble to
call on me, at Bristol, opposite Pratt's hotel, I
shall take pleasure in detailing every particular.
In conclusion, I deem it my duty to urge upon
every person who may have the premonitory
symptoms of this fatal disease, not to delay one
hour, but to call upon Dr Schneck immediately.
His skill in the treatment of this complaint, and
prompt detection of diseased parts o f t h e l ongs
by means of hie Stethescope, added to my own
miracu'ous cure, fully satisfiesme, that had I ear
tier submitted myself to his care, I should have
• eitcaped much suffering; but restrained by doubts
and suspicion, which make us all naturally skep
tical in regard to the virtues of a medicine when
first introduced. I resisted the importunities of
my friends till almost too late ; and yielded only
as a last resort, resolved to " kill or cure." To
those afflicted as I have been, again let me say,
hesitate no longer, my own case is presented to
you as convincing evidence, that when all else
fails your last hope is in Dr, Schneck's Pulmonic
Syrup. I have also for the satisfaction of those
who may be strangers to me, appended to this cer
tificate the names of gentlemen well known in
the walks of public and private life, and whose
standing in society admits of no cavil or doubt in
regard to their testimony.
CHARLES O. JOHNSON.
We the undersigned, residents of Bristol and
vicinity, are well acquainted with Mr. Johnson,
and know him to have been afflicted as he states
above. We also know that ho used Schneck's
Pulrnonic Syrup, and have every reason to be
lieve, that to this medicine lie owes his preserve.
lion from a premature grave. The known in
tegrity and posi.ion in society of Mr. Johnson
however is a sufficient guarantee to the public of
the truth of this etatement.

insured under the oldest policies; to 8 3.4 per
cent., 7 1-2 per cent., &c. &c. on others, in pro
portion to the time of standing, making an addi
tion of $100; $87,60; $75, &c. &c. to every
1,000, originally insured, which is an average of
more than 50 per cent. on the premiums paid,
and without increasing the annual payment of
the company.

The operation of the BONUS will be seen by

Register of the Company, thus:
