A Tale of Extraordinary Suffer
ing, Want and Death.
The Fredericksburg (Va.) News narrate:
the following extraordinary incidents in the
life of a man named Watson, who, some
fifteen years ago, left Alexandria, settled
in King George county as a merchant, mar
ried a highly respectable young lady, by
whom he had four children, and subse
quently became a widower and a bankrupt:
" With his little children, two of whom
were daughters, he lived on a small farm
which he rented, three miles below the
line separating Staffard and King George.
During the coldest of the weather in the
latter part of December last, his children
were seized with whooping cough, and ev
ery one of them prostrated.
"While thus confined their father was
taken with erysipelas, and in the same room
lay the fatt er and children, perfectly help
less. Whe thus confined, some fiends
broke in his meat and fowl houses and stole
every fowl and piece of meat on the farm.
In doing so they passed through the gar
den, leveling the fence and thereby per
mitting the cattle and hogs to destroy all
the vegetables intended for winter use.—
The only thing left for.the support of the
family was a small quantity of oorn meal
and some unrosted coffee. In that condi
tion they lay a large portion of the time
without water, without fire and without
food.
"A poor widow in the neighborhood sent
them a small piece of meat, and the eldest
boy, not quite so ill as the rest, did, as long
as his strength would enable him, crawl to
the fire-place, stir up the dying embers,
half cuok some bread, fry a piece of meat,'
and with coffee without milk or sugar, at
tempt to relieve the hunger of his dying
father and sisters. On one occasion, weak
and feeble as he was, he staggered through
the snow to a neighbor's house to procure
fire. At one time the father and children
would be crying for water, and not a drop
in the house and no one to bring it. Thus
they lay for several days, until God, in his
mercy, took two of the children.
"Two days did they lie corpses by the
side of their sick parent, and no one to pre
pare them for sepulture and convey them
to the tomb. A man accidently passing
by, oalled in, found the family as we have
described them, the father blind and insen
sible, with his two dead children—one fro
zen to death—lying by his side, and left
them in that condition. Two days after
this the father died. The night preceding
death he had hemorrhage and bled most
profusely. By his side were his son and
daughter, barely able to raise their heads,
but nerved to the occasion they set by him
the whole night alone, using every means
their infant minds could suggest in staunch
ing the blood. A poor widow, the day of
Watson's death, heard of it, came to his
house, had him and his two children bu
ried, took the sick ones home with her,
nursed them, and has since restored them
to health."
LIBERIA—Capt. Andrew 11. Foot, U.
S. N., who commanded the U. S. brig
Perry, on the coast of Africa, under Com
modore Gregory, states, as the result of a
statistical comparison, that the number of
deaths in Liberia, in proportion to the pop
ulation, is three per cent. less than in Bal
timore; and less than in New York
Philadelphia. "At Monrovia iron ore ex
ists in large masses, associated with the
igneous rock of which Cape Mesurado is
composed. President Roberts informed me
that 20 miles in the interior, ore is found
which can be beaten out into malleable iron,
without the process of smelting. The soil
is extremely fertile, adapted to the culture
of almost every tropical production. The
garden vegetables and fruits of the country
are rich and abundant.
10 - 111 r. W. 0. Hickok, of Harrisburg,
has invented a portable cider press, not
weighing more than 150 pounds, which is
said to be a great improvement upon those
now in use. It can be worked by hand so
as to grind forty bushels of apples in an
hour, and the grinding is said to be far su
perior to that done by the old fashioned
nut mills. It may be set up in any part of
the farm, or in a barn or outhouse, and will
coat about po.
a.ron the back of a one dollar bill, is
endorsed, "The last spot of $2,000 which
I made in California in six months. Riches
have wings."
5 Da. ETOOFLAND'S OKIIMAN EITTERB.—ThiIt
this medicine will cure liver complaint and dys
pepsia, no one can doubt after using it as direct
ed. It acts specifically upon the stomach and
Liver; it is preferable to calomel in all billions
diseases ; it sets as specifically upon the liver as
calomel; calomel prostrates the system—the bit
ters strengthen and never prostrates the petiant,
and will give renewed life and health to the deli
sate invalid, and restore the liver to its functions,
and give digestion and appetite in those severe
cases wherein the ordinary medicines fail in pro
ducing any effect.
SnooK or AN EARTHQUAKE.—Yester
day, at about one o'clock, a termulous vi
bratory motion, similar to the shock of an
earthquake, was distinctly felt by many of
the clerks in the Treasury and Home De
partment buildings, and by some other per
sons in this city. This shook was of such
a decided character that some persons in
voluntarily left the buildings above men
tioned for the street. The degree of in
tensity of the shock was proportionate to
the elevation from the ground; those in the
upper stories feeling it much more sensibly
than those below. Some nine years ago,
(we believe that is about the time) a shock
of the same kind was noticed by the occu
pants of the Treasury building, and which,
though supposed by a worthy citizen to be
easily accounted for on a very simple and
common-place hypothesis, proved to be a
veritable earthquake, having been simul
taneously observed for great distances south
of us, we think even in South America.

VEGETABLE CATTLE POWDER.
PREPARED BY
BRELNIG, FRONEFIELD & CO.
The discovery of BREINIG, PRONEFIELD &
CO's CELEBRATED CATTLE POWDER has set the
whole community alive to a new tact in regard to
feeding Cattle, both for the purpose of maintain
ing health and increasing the production of Fat,
_Butter and Milk. The effect of their POWDER
has astonished every one, that has used it, and
the demand has been so large, than the proprietors
could scarcely supply it sufficiently hist for their
sales.
The immense popularity it has obtained from
Farmers, Dairy Men and Horsemen, and the con
fidence and success with which they used it have
set the heads of other Druggists at work to make
an article, professing to he of equal merits, think
ing to take advantage of our POWDERN popular
ity, and by these means introduce other articles,
into the market, which has no affinity to our pre
paration whatever. Every person knows, who has
read anything of Agricultural Chemistry, that no
powder possessing such qualities as that which we
prepare, was ever known in any part of Germany,
Europe or America. We advise all persons to
read Prof'. I.eibigs works and see for themselves
whether they or any one else, ever knew of a
Cattle Powder in Germany, Europe or America,
that ever professed to have the same virtues,
which we claim for ours.
The Discovery is of American Birth, the off
spring of the PROPRIETORS, and there is no Cat
tle Powder Now known in the world, that was
ever manufactured from the same Combination of
Chemical elements, as that of BREINI Cr,
FRONEFIELD & CO.
Do not therefore suffer yourselves to be de
ceived, or think that our Powder is a humbug be
cause you have tried those Mongrel Substitutes
and found no good follow, but rather injurious re
sults. Never give an opinion unless you have
tried the only genuine VEGETABLE CATTLE Pow-
DER in the world, as compounded and prepared
BREINIG, FRONEFIELD & Co., No. 18; North
Third Sticet, Philadelphia.
N. B. Do not be imposed upon and allow your
Animals to die or linger aqth disease because you
have ted the wrong Cattle Powder. The Signa
ture of BREINIG, niONEFIELD I P CU.
is on the end of each pack of the genuine Article.

SILVER'S MINERAL PAINTS
The wonder of the age, nature's own produc
tions. These faints dither from all others in the
market; they are not clays; they require little Oil,
flow easily, and cover with a heavier body than
white lead. They neither crack nor peel, and dry
readily, making an ENAMEL OF STONE.
COLORS—We have seven different colors, viz:
three Browns, two Chocolates, Black and Yellow,
and by combination make every variety and shade
of color.
Bony.—These Paints are superior in body (or
covering property) to any yet discovered, and
pound for pound will cover double the surface of
white lead, zinc, or other metallic Paints.
lnort.—To Iron they tnrnish a perfect protec
tion against rust, for they contain no metal, which
like white lead acts destructively on the iron; in
fact this Paint makes iron doubly valuable for
building purposes.
BRICK WORK. -They give to house walls a
much heavier coating than other paints, and if
sanding is required, nothing holds so firmly or
finishes so well with it.
OLD Room—Give ns a roof, never so old and
leaky, Silver's Mineral Paints willmuke it cheap
ly new and more enduring than it ever was.
SHIPS using this extraordinary Mineral as we
prepare it for them, will be proof against the ac
tion of hot suns worms and salt water.
CAPITALISTS and BUILDERS are invited to
make strict scrutiny into the merits of these
Paints. They will rind a very great reduction
might be made in the cost of painting. These
Paints are purely mineral; all clays and other
impurities are washed out in preparing them for
the market. They cost but belittle price of white
lead, and the same quantity will cover twice the
surface, and last six times as long, which in fact
reduces the price to one-twelfth. Climate has no
effect on this Paint, and is equally valuable in the
cold Canadas or our sunny Florida.
DinEcrioNs.—Use Linseed Oil, mix as thick
as you can, and use as other paints. These Paints
need but little dryer, and for priming and second
coating in all housework they wilt be found far
cheaper and more durable than lead.

"Hollidaysburg Register" and Whig paper
Johnstown, will please insert the above three times
and charge this office.
Birmingham Female Seminary.
The liberal patronagewhich this School has
received in the past, encourages the proprietor
and friends of female education, to expect by
proper exertion to make it both a premanent and
important Institution; and no pains will by spar
ed to sustain its growing reputation.
Among other cons,derattons which inspire hope
as to its tutor° sucess, the location is not unim
portant. Three years actual experiment has de
veloped a more philosophical, if not a truer reas
on ihr the existence of Birmingham than many
which have been assigned—that it is the situation
fur a Female Seminary, surrounded as it is by
most romantic scenery—retired—healthful—easy
of access and in itself a place where one might al
most grow wise in the study of Nature alone un
mocked by the works of Art.
The school year is divided into two Sessions of
twenty-two weeks each; the summer term com
mencing the last Tuesday in April, the winter
term the lust Tuesday in October.
Charges to date from time of entering, and no
deductions made for absence except in case o
sickness.
Tuition $4,00 and $5,00 per quarter—boarding
$1,50 per week. Music, Latin, French, Draw
ing, &c., extra.
