The Toreado.—Every mail brings us
further accounts of the ravages of the tor

eastern part of Ohio, and swept eastward
to the seaboard, doing immense damage
in its course. Houses and barns were de.
stroyed, and some live lost. At Alliance,
0 , one hundred.honses were unroofed.—
In Woodcock Valley, in this county, many
barns wore unroofed ; indeed, the whole
southern end of our county suffered se
verely. In Lawrence, Butler, and Arm
strong counties, the destruction of proper
ty was very great. The town Hall was
unroofed at Hollidaysburg and one man
killed. Great damage was done in Lan
caster county and Philaaelphia. What
disasters it may have caused at sea cannot
yet be known, The course of the gale
was from northward to southeast. It con

American Meeting.—According to ar

in the Court House, in this borough, on

One feature of this meeting, which was
not on the bills, and which took us alto
gether by surprise, was this : The dele

(by this and other counties) which assem•

ruent of the proceedings ouThe premises.
Immediately the patriotic editors of the A.
merican newspaper, and a few of their
satellites, began an uproarious clatter, to
silence him ; and they succeeded. What
think you of that, Americans ? Is an A.
merican meeting to be broken up by such
means, and is free speech to be gngged in
old Huntingdon County ?
The Committee appointed to draft reso
lutions, mentioned not a word about the
course of the •'American"—we are infor

course, was brought forward by an outsid
er, after the Committee had reported!

Communication
HUNTINGDON, April 218 t, 1856.
Tothe Editors of the Mut ingdon Journal;
In your "Journal" of last week, a communi
cation, under date of April 7th, seems to refer
to an American meeting, held at Mill Creek,
on the 4th of April. The following is an ex•
tract from the article, and purports to relate
what was said by the Speaker, viz:
"I was astonished and dumbfounded on hew
'ring language almost as follows, from a gentle
man whom 1 recognized as an old fellow Whig:
That slavery agitation was an evil, and to ask
fora restoration of the Missouri Compromise
would produce agitation, and Americans should
therefore discountenance it as an evil."
I was a Speaker and the only Speaker, nt
that meeting. If intended to assert that I ex
pressed such sentiments, it is unqualifiedly
false. I uttered no word, or thought, that could
be tortured into such, or any kindred meaning.
Without a shadow of truth it is false in every
possible shape in plain Saxon, a lie, made
from raw material by reckless and ignorant, or
what le worse by one wicked and willing to
"bear false witness against his neighbor."
Yours, &c.,
A. W. BENEDICT.
Whether Mr. A. W. Benedict made use
of the above language, or not, we are not
able to soy, not being at the Mill Creek
meeting ; we presume our correspondent
will soy next week ; but if he did not make
use of it there, by subscribing to the reso
lutions passed by the "Insurgents" at the
meeting in this borough last week, he en
dorses it most positively, plainly and em
phatically. Every word of it.

OPCCESSFULLI"THEATED Br INHALATION OP
MAIDICAX. vAr
BY
JOHNSON STEWA HT ROSE, M. D.,
Fellow of the Royal College of: Physicians,
and jor years Senior Physician to the Lan
don Itoyal Atirmary jr r diseases of
the LILVG.s.
T this age of progress, Medical Science has
1. contributed lice lull
are to the generld wel
fare, and that which shines resplendent, the
brightest jewel in her diadem is MEolexi. VAPOR
iNHALATION in the treatment of Consumption
and Kindred affections. The treatment hitherto
Pursued has been faulty and worldly inefficient ;
the stomach being made the receptacle of nouse•
sus oils, arid a host of other nostrurni • all these
too, beim expected to act upon the lungs ; the
failure to eradicate, or even stop the ntvagos or
the discuss, in nearly every ease of well-develop•
oil Consumption. is surely warning enough to
the Consumptive to shun such a treatment. The
disease is not in the Shnaneli but in the Luityg.—
Common sense will at once teach, that amnlieine
applied in the farm of Vapor, directly to the dis
eased surface of the Lungs, will be tar more et,
lectuel than medicine taken into the stomach.
. . .
I he success of "Medicated Vapor Inhalation"
in treating diseases at' the Lungs, exceed my
sanguine expectations, and I earnestly appeal to
the intelligence of all afflicted, or who may have
the genes el' sickness within them, to embrace
at once the soothing healing, and successful sys
tem of Medical Vapor Inhalation, as the ONLY
"Ark of Refuge" for the Consumptive. I utter
to out it within the reach of all, and can so ar•
range it, that the invalid is never requited to
leave lame, where the hand of friendship and
affection, tend so much to aid the physician's
efforts. Where there is life there is now hope
far the meet seemingly hopeless cases, as thro -
ont ell the stages of this insidious disease, the
wonderful and beneticient effects of the treat
towns are soon apparent. In eases also of
unoNcurris, AsTurom,
the inhaling of powders and vapors li:ice been
eminently successful, and to those suffering un
der any of the shove named complaints, I can
guarantee speedy and certain relief. I have
pleasure in referring to own DUNDEED AND SE
VEN names, residents of New York and imigh
boyhood, who have been restored to vigorous
health. About one-third of the above number
according to the patients' own statements were
considered hopeless cases.
The inhaling method is soothing, safe and
speedy, and consists in the administration of me
dicines in such a manlier, that they are conveyed
into the lungs in the form of a vapor, and pro
duce their action at the seat of the disease. Its
practical success Is destined to revolutionize the
opinions of the medical world, AND ESTABLIBII
THE ENTINE WU MLITT or Costsozwilos.
Applicants will please state if they have over
bled from the Lungs, if they have lost flesh,
nave e cough, night sweats and fever turns, what
and how much they exporate, what the condition
of their stomach and bowels. The necessary
Medicines, Apparatus, Sc., will be forwarded to
any part.
TERMS.—Five dollars, consultation fee.—
Balance of the fee payable only when the pa
tient reports himself convalescent.
RECOMMENDATION DY PHYSICIANS.
We, the undersigned, practitioners in medi
cine, heerfully and heartily recommend Pr. R's
method of ,treating diseases of the Lungs and
Throat, as the best .d most effectual ever intro
duced Into the medical practice. Our convic
tions are based upon having several of our own
patients, confirmed consumptives, restored to vi
gorous health, after a few months' treatment by
Dr. Rose. In the above named diseases, the ap
plication of "Medicated Vapor." inhaled direct
ly into the Lungs, may be justly considered as
a great boon to suffering humanity, rendering
consumption a perfectly curable disease.
Dr. Rose deserves well of the ProthsSion for
his unwearied labors In bringing the inhaling
method to such a degree o I perfection.
