'her history, I am induced to believe that

Dorcas was the daughter of a mechanic,who
from Intemperate habits, has been for many
years very poor. Alter the death of her

she was, at the request oilier father, receiv
ed into my family as a servant girl, in the
spr•ng of 1826; she having been thirteen
years of age.the preceding fall. In that ca
' peeks', she continued with us ur.til she was
- eighteen yea s old. She was,l believe,very
faithful-in the performance of what was re
quired of her. She was sent at times to the
common schools,where she made great pro
ficiency. She was remarliablefor quickness
ofapprelionsiou, which was more particular
ly noticed at the Sunday schools, where she
was a constant attendant; and had cultivated
a taste fitr reading, in which she was permit•
ted to indulge. No improper e. - Kluct of
hers had ever been noticed by any member
of the family. Some little time before she
. left as, rumors to her disadvantage had reach.
ed the ears of Mrs. Weston, which she was
led, from the protestations of the girt, to be
, liovenntrue. At length reports to her pre
judice became so general, that we could not
believe them unfounded: and they have been
but two well confirmed by her subsequent
character. By whom seduced I do not
know. She was visited by no young man at

or myself. She left us in thefall of

to understand, by the name of Maria
She has been recognised in the
'.streets of New York by persons
,who had
known her in Augusta; and I have reason
to believe' she has misrepresented the con.

The profligate life to which.she abandoned
herself, has been followed by a very tra2mal
end. Both . are deeply to be deplored; and

cruel as it was,. may not be without its mor

ANTI-BANS CONSISTENCY.--When the
United States Bank, without the addition of
one dollar of capital, was chartered .by the
State, all the anti•bankites were stricken
with horror, and even yet the party cubs
are growling about bribery, corruption and
other monstrous 'matters. When an addl.
tion 0f83,000,00 0 was made to
. the capital
of the Girard Bank, a shout of acclamation
followed, and at-a late meeting of the stock
holders to accept the law, no less a person
age than GeorTe M. Dallas—the magnus
Apollo of the Van Burenites, presided.—
This is a good gauge by which the people

of burglary.
A NEW ADVOCATE FOR THE UNION
A lady, who styles herself "a candidate
for connubial bliss, advertises in the last
Opelousas (La.) Gazette, that she "ardently
desires to unite herself to some gentleman,
whose habits and disposition are accordant
with her own."' Applications- are to be
made to the editor of the Gazette, who says,
"if he could, he would himselfvotunteer for
the bold lady," and well he says so, it truly
the modest fair one portrays her excellen•
cies. "My complexion is brunette, eyes
and hair black, nose Grecian, mouth small,
neck slender,bust proportionately full,height
5 feet 3 inches, ancles and hands delicately
formed—fortune about $20,0n0 " The edi
tor of the Gazette earnestly invites the at
tention of the bachelor fraternity particular
ly to this application, and further remarks,
that "he has seen them, with great sorrow.
poking the fire, for want ofsomething else
to do, and is•glad to find that a spinster has
appeared who is willing to relieve them of
such fruitless labor and give them domestic
occupation." Verily, it the bachelors of
Opelousas can stand all this unmoved; they
must indeed be an incorrigible set, and past
all hopes of reform.—Natchez Courier.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE
VERY LATE FROM EUROPE.
By the arrival at New York, on Saturday
morning, of the packet ship George ‘Vash•
tngton, Capt. Holdridge, the Editors of the
New York Commercial Advertiser have
received Liverpool papers of the 28th March
and London papers to the 26th. They con
tam nothing of interest.
The French chamber of deputies, oddly
enough, have 'adopted the recommendation
of the committee to which was referred the
proposition of the 5 per cents; that is,to post
pone the consideration of the whole matter
for a Year Thus agreeing to do the very
thing, their relinad lo do which caused the
resignation of the former ministry.
An absurd article has appeared in the
Jooenal du Commerce, and attracted much
attention; it states ver% circumstantially that
air , overimwrit isin treaty with the emperor
a t \iorocco for a point within his (1 0 11111110ns
whereon to establish a place of refiige firr
our shipping in the event of a sudden war.
The hay orAngera, three miles irotn
in mentioned as the point proposed. When
will European politicians learn that our for
sign policy is distinct and difPrent from that
of Russia and France arid England?
The cabinets of France and England are
said to have remonstrated against the mini
tary occupation of Cracow.
Advices from Spain are to the 16th of
March. The queen's forces were about
opening the campaign with vigor; three
large columns were concentrating upon
Durango, where Don Carlos had his head
quarters. Gen. Mina had left Barcelona
and arrived at Tarragona.
Th 9 negro-apprenticeship system in the
West Indies has been before Parliament
again, on a motion by Mr. Buxton, for a
Committee of Inquiry into its operation and
effects. A protracted debate ensued in the
course of which Mr. Buxton made heavy
charges against the planers. The motion
was &ally agreed to. Mr O'Connell was,
of course, among the speakers, but we do
not see that he availed himself of this (Well
ston to revile and slander the people of the
United States—fir a wonder.
It seems to be expected, with much con
fidence, that Mr. O'Connell will be unseated
as member from Dublin. He has published
a note in the papers, contradicting the idle
story of his being, in that event, nominated
and returned from Westminster.
The Carlist Correspondent of the London
papers continue to assure their renders that
Dim Carlos must inevitably make his tri
umphal en'ry into Madrid in a very short
time. They have been making the same
predictions for the last two years.
The returns of members to the Spanish
comes show a great increase of strength to
M. Mend.zilbal's ministry. Of the 66 mem
bers who voted with him on the quest irai
which led to the dissolution of the late critics,
46 have been re•elected, while of the 71 who
voted against him, only one is returned.
Cabrera, the Carlist brigand, is said to
have allot eighteen ladies of the queen's par.
ty in revenge for the death of his mother,
who, it appears, was shot, not because she
was his mother, hut because she was a very
active and skilfid spy.
The President's Peace Message had been
received in France, and is thus noticed by
thdipilmaii'a Messenger of the 17th.
Tutiasnmr, I o'clock.—We have just
received by express, from Havre,New York
and other American papers to the 29th ult.
brought by the Sully. captain Lines, which
arrived off that port on the evening of the
14th instant. but was unable to procure a
pilot until the following day. These jeur•
nals speak in the most satisfactory tone of
the termination of the misunderstanding
with Fiance, upon the subject of which we
subjoin the message of Gen. Jackson to the
Senate, on the 22d of February, with the
official statement of the British Charge d'Af
faires, that the government of France had
expressed itself satisfied, and was ready to
pay the money in dispute. Some of the pa
pers are very merry in their description of
the mortificatien of the war party by this
termination of the affair.
INTELLIGENCE FROM FLORIDA
From the Charlestpn Patriot, April 27
L NEST FROM FLORIDA!
We are enabled to relieve the anxiety of
a lardeteunrifier of our citizens by the fidlow
ing extrrket4 of letters received here by the
Western Mail via St Marks, from that part
of the detachment which left this city under
the command of Gen. EUSTIS.
Extract of a letter from an officer of Col.
Brisbane's Regiment, dated
"CAMP SucvroN,near Tampa Bay, April 12.
"To morrow we leave Carnp Shelton, 16
miles from this where our troops are gen
erally encamped for Peas Creek, which is
about 4Q miles from this where it is suppos
ed POWELL and his forces, with the Indian
women and children are: Gen- Scow goes
with us."
Extract ofannther letter, dated
"CAMP SHELTON, April 12
"I had commenced this letter on a long
and sultry day, intending to while away the
weariness of the camp,but Gen. EUSTIS has
just, sent to this post for some information
which is to be communicated to him by ex
press, and I have determined myself to give
you the benefit of the news. The order is
to march. Gen SCOTT it is said is to move
with one wing, and on the day after to mor•
row the 14th inst. we take up• the line of
march. Our mounted men have already
lelt Tampa Buy for the purpose of going
down to Charlotte Harbour. The. Leuisi
ana Torres have gone to the same point by
water. Another portion have gone to the
river Withlecoocbee, for the, purpose of
scouring the country. Our Regiment of
Infantry, with some of the Ist Regiment U
S. Artillery and some ether troops will take
up the march towards Tolopkilugo, (I spell
it as It is pronounced) with the intention of
burning it and destroying all the settlements
we may meet with.
There is a hope but nothing like a san
guine expectati o n of meeting the Indian.•.
Infiirmation has-been comninnicated to Gen.
SCOW 0! the 111dt/ins havim‘ been collected
in great force at Charlotte Harbour. Oili
er sources el information promise Vial the
Indians will be ritual in the path we will
pursue. Other sources again pronounce
that the whole body of Indians hay , - seoara
ted and relined in small parties to the glades.
The latter conjecture seems to hi) the one
most L:enerally received and in toy opinion
the most probable. We calculate that a
bout the latter end of this month we will re•
turn and be at Volusia and in a very few
(lays •iinir a , Reel:int, main w: ich place a
f . ew days will hang us borne.

much from theexliiiitstiiiii till the severe heat,
its they have hithertii done from the severe
eidd."
The Savannah Georgian of yeAerday,
was received last evening by the steamer
Dolphin, Capt. PENNOT Eli, from St. Au
guAine via Savannah. The only informa
tion it contains is embraced in the following
parag ma ph:
"LATER FROM FLOR IDA .—Thn strum
packet Duiphin Capt. Pennoyer, arrived
here Sunday night, (ton late fir our paper
of yesterday morning) from St. Augustine
via St. %) rvs. She left St. A. on Saturday
noon, but brings not the least intelligence
l . rom the Army.
"On Tuesday last, the Polphin made a
tri
to Mosgillto Iniet,(Winiain'S phonation)
in search of provisions, which had been left
by Nlaj .r Kirby, who had been there en•
camped, previous ku his march to Volusia,
but there were noneSanal. It is presumed
that the Indians who had been lurking about
there, had taken them away, as soon as the
troops marched."
The National Intelligencer of Tuesday
says:--"Welasi have seen a letter from an
Officer at Tampa Bay, who states that the
VANDALIA (sloop of war) was then (April
titti) still in Tampa Bay, where she has been
for several weeks; than a detachment of ma
rines from her had acted with Col. LEND.
SAN '8 command. consist Mu , of the Alabama
volunteers and Florida militia, and in two
excursions into the inlet tor had several skir
mishes with the Indians, in which four of
the troops were killed and four wounded,
and some twenty Indians were killed. A
tort which they threw up on their first ex
cursion; and garrisoned with 70 men, was
attacked, (luring the absence attic , main bo
dy, by 150 Indians, who fired upon the fort
more than two bows, when they were beat
en off with the loss of 15 or 20 killed; there
being one killed and one wounded in the
fort."
Gen SCOTT does not seem to have won
much reputation by his Cxrdition to Tampa
The following are some of the incidents that
attended the march, as related by Major
Douglass—
"On the martlh to Tampa, they had two
battles and several skirmishes with the In
dians. The first battle was at a hammock
near the %V ithhicoochee. On apprimehing
the hammock, the advance guard fell hack
and reported 500 or more Indians in sight.
Gen. Scott then prepared for action, and ad.
vanced with all his army within a few hun
dred yards of the haminock—when the In
dians were discovered on the opposite side,
in a cleared place, holding up their hands,
without their arms. Gen. S. supposing that
they did not wish to tight-, sent en interpre
ter to them,but they would not receive Int.
Ile then ordered a Lieutenant, with an In
dian negro and one or two men, to ride into
the - ham:hock, and hold up a white hand
kerchiel—when several Indians came out to
meet them. The Indians stated that they
did not wish to fight, and would come that
no , ht and have a talk with Gen. --
They returned and reported to Gen. S. that
it was his opinion the Indians would not
come in, and only wanted time to reniove
their women and cloldren; that the ham
mock they were in, was the place Oseola
bra , ged about. and culled it the "core" ut
the Withlacoochee, and said that white men
could never enter-there. But the General
still believing the Indians wished to make
peace and would come in, ordered his army
back a short distance, and commanded that
a gun should not be fired, which order crea.
ted great dissatisfaction among the Volun•
teers, seeing the Indians just across the
hammock in considerable force and they noi
permitted to make battle with them. The
Indians not complying with their promise
on the next morning, Gen. Scott made an
attack on the hammock; the Indians coin.
menced a trenteedons yelling and howling
for a few minutes and then ceased; the Ge
neral. not knowing whether the Indiaws had
retreated or not, still continued to advance
on the hammock, and when within about
50 yards, the Indians commenced a heavy
firing upon them;-they, however, succeeded
in routing them. Major Douglass thinks
that the loss on the part of the Indians must
have been considerable, from the very ma
ny signs of blood and the number of places
where the Indians dragged off their dead.
They then pursued them to another ham.
mock, where they had another battle with
them; alter which, for the want of provi
shins, Gen Scott was compelled to lake up
the tine of march for Taupe Bay.
Major Douglass staves that Gen. Scott
and his army left Tampa on the morning of
the 15th , for Fort Diane; he took with hint
9 days' provisions, in which time he expec•
ted •to arrive at Fort Drane, and that he
would then diiicharge all the volunteers in
Florida from the several slates, and remain
himself with the Regulars; and that in coo-
sequence of the sickly sen , on coming
the indisposition of is men, he would nnt he

with a sor•all loss on his part, while that of
the enemy was I 90 killed! and many wound
ed. After the enemy had Gdien hack, Col.
Fannin entrenched hansellduring the main.
On the fidlowing_morinng the enemy spew
ed a white flag Fauna went out to meet
the commanding general. who represented
to Col. Fannin that he knew the force op.
posed to ban—that he was entrenched in
an open prairie without water, that he was
surrounded, and than his men must perish,
t hat ho wished to show hint quarters, &C.
A capitulation was made with the usual
fi.rms of honorable warfare; Cnl Fannin
was to lay down hi- arms, and march back
to Goliad. where they were to remain six or
eight days as prisoners of war,to be shipped
to New Orleans from Copano. They sur
rendered on these conditions on the Ath day
after their arrival at ,Goliad; they were as
sured that a vessel was ready to receive
them at Cryan°, to embark for New Or.
leans. arid Col. F. marched out in file, the
I , lexmans each side of him. They were
marched down about five miles, and the or
der was given to fire upon them. At the
first fire nearly every man fell—a Mr. Had..
don of Texa , 4 and three others succeeded it
reaching some bushes about 100 yards dis

that the Indians on the Mexican frontier,.
have risen in great force; that one Anted-,

confusion in the country. Gen.,•Gaines bad
advanced to the Sabine with about 700 men,

There nre rumors in this city frormNew

We have heard none ofthe particulars. The
New Orleans papers are silent upon the
subject.—pobilc Johrnal of April 22.
LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM TEXAS.—
..
We learn by the steamer Levant, arrived
bere)teiterday, that there were about 11)00
. tticlianic.and Mllexicans within 50 miles of
Naceitdriches, and an express which arrived
oNachitoches the evening before the Le
•vtint left, stated that the A merican - inhabi
tants of Nacogdoches burnt the town to ashes,
to prevent its fella% into the hands of the in
vading enemy. Gen. Gaines was at Nachi
niches when the express arrived, (having
been invited to a public (limier at that place,)
but on receiving the intelligence, he mime
thately took up his march for the Sabine river.
‘V hen Gen. t advanced towards Fort
Jesup,the ga r rison honored him with a salute,
from their guns, it being the first time they
had seen him since his return fro II Florida.
The citizens of Natchitoches immediately
called a meeting for the relief of the women
and children at Nacogdoches, upon hearing
of the destruction of the latter place, and
subsctibed 81000. Our informant states
the &lane river to be between 4 arid 5 miles
wide ut the present, and the whole of the
adjacent country, to be completely inundat
ed, consequently the removal of the Texian
families w rendered extremely 'difficult and
1- .ltazardous. General Ciitines has taken up
*is quarters on the banks of the Sabine river,
and will prevent all [admits within his juris
diction from joining the Alexicans.—Lou
isiunu Advertiser.
The Louisville Journal, on the authority
ofa gentleman from Texas, gives an inter.
e4l'ing account of the manner in which Santa
Anna stormed the fortress of San Antonio.
The,Tyrant brought with him 15 0 0 convicts
from the Alexi an prisons. On arriving al
'San Antonio, he placed the whole body of
them as a forlorn hope in advance of the rest
of the army, half encompassing them in the
rear with 3,300 infantry and placin g still
furiher in the rear 2,-..t00 cavalry, with
der.4, that each convict, who attempted to
retreat, should be instantly shot or cut down.
He then ordered tho convicts to storm the
fortre Is, setting belore them liberty and pro.
motion if they succeeded, and immediate
drith in the event of their failure. They
jtithed forward with the fury of devils, and,
in less than an hour, every man m the gar.,
. rison.was massacred. The carnage among
the convictsovas dreadlul. Out of the fif
teen hundred, all but three or four hundred
were either killed or mortally wounded.-
'rho Raleigh Star has the following pars
graph, which is, in some degree, corrobora
live of a similar report first promulgated u
the Louisville Journal:
• A letter has just been received by a gen•
tlemun in this city from a member of Con
gress (high in favour With the Administra
tion) containing the subjoined remarkable
iatelligcnce:
"Report says Santa Anna has sent a
message to General Jackson, that if the
Government does nut interfere and suppress
the war in Texas and stop emigration to
that country prom the„United States he will
create a servile war in the South forth with."
The Globe; in reply to a paragraph in
the National Intelligencer, remarks:—
"So far from being true that officers of
the Government are arnmig or encouraging
men to march into the Mexican territory,
they haYe been directed to employ all mea
sures warranted and enjoined by law to frus
trate such schemes. However individuals
may compassionate those they may deem
oppressed in fireign countries, or whatever
indignation may be excited by by wreaking
of a san,guinary revenge at variance with
the acknowledged laws of war, the plain
duty of this Government is, hot to deviate
from the settled policy of the nation by
meddling, either covertly or openly, with
the doMestic quarrels of our neighbours.—
That duty has been, and will continue to
be. scrupulously peifbrmod, and the result
will again proVe that the Presiilent is as slow
in giving just cause of offence to a lbreign
power, as he has been firm, zealous,and suc
cessful in maintaining the honor of the coun
try, and in asserting the rights of its injured
- citizens."
From the New Lisbon (Ohio) Aurora
FUEEMNSONRY.-Mr. Editor: Ex-gover
nor Wolf of Pennsylvania said in his protest
that there was no harm in Freemasonry '5
of 20 years ago. I will state one or two
transactions which took place in Maryland
between 25 and :10 years since and let the
reader judge whether there ever was any
harm in freemasonry or not.
A man by the name of Edward Brien
'murdered a girl about 11 years of at , e, and
Pretended to be insane for an hour or two af
terwards. lie Was a mason and got clear of
the laws.
A man by the name of Burke, a mason,
committed a rape on a , young girl about 13
years of age in a most horrid manner. He
was apprehended, committed to jail and sen
tonced to he executed. It was said that he
broke jail and got away,aod the hole through
which he crept was just big enough for a
man to get his fist through. Rumor said
that the masons made up money and paid
the jailor to let him out. Hundreds of per
sons can be now produced to substantiate the
correctness of this statement.
Arthur Tappan, of New York, subscribed
85,000 towards rebuilding the Methodist
Book Concern in that city.

We regret extremely the "signs
of the times" as indicated by some of the
acts of the Rail Road Company at its first
meeting. If the undertaking is to be ad
vantageous to all—if the public are invited
to come forward and aid in its erection, let
all parties have information through their
appropriate channels. Do not, for the sake
of a 'rifling cost, lel the suspicion go abroad
that all its benefits are to be conferred upon
a "favored few." If the "Act of Incorpo
ration" is important to the public, why con
fine its publication to one paper, when many
of the most efficient friends of the Road are
patrons of the "Star" and "Compiler?" If
the Company wish to succeed, they should
act with the same liberality as srmilar corn.
panics have done in all other places where .
such works—works intended to benefit the
whole-- are in operation.

Several resolutions were passed reflect

the U. S. Bank Charter, and asking his
resignation of his seat in the. State Senate.
The"reprima net" , confirmed!
Oz7l-IENRy W. CONRAD, who resigned
his seat . in the House of Representatives in
consequence of being reprimanded by the
Speaker for unjustly charging upon the
House the crime of Bribery and conspiracy
respecting the Charter of the late U. S.
Bank, again presented himself before the
people of Schuylkill county for re.election—
hoping thereby to be triumphantly returned
and his conduct sanctioned by his Constit
uents. But in this ho has been wofully dis-
appointed! JAcon HAMMER, a Democrat and
Anti-Mason, has been returned instead of
Conrad by a handsome majority!
t r K.7 .- A truer article was never penned
han the following from the Pittsburg
"The simple fact is,Anti- Masons have dis
covered that Anti-Masonry is Democracy,&
that whenever they appeal to the Democracy
aid is freely offered and faithfully continued.
When we appealed to Whigs our overtures
were either treated with insult, or if a show
of support was given, it was only to betray
and destroy. Wherever antimasonry has
acted with the democratic party, it has made
progress: wherever it has had even the
slightest connexion with whigism,it has been
parah zed. Will any dare to controvert this?
We dare them to the scrutiny, and will re.
view every stop of Anti-Masonry from its
commencement. Now is it expected that
we should shut our eyes to these things?"

the ravages of the Hessian Fly have serious•

growing wheat crop in that neighborhood,
and that several farmers in-the vicinity have
lately ploughed up their wheat fields. The

THE LAND, BILL.—The "Spy in Wash•
ington," corresponding with the New Ynik
Courier and Iflnqui rer, states that General
Jackson recently held a conversation with
a gentleman who had once remarked to him
that Mr. Clay complained that he had not
promptly returned the Land Bill, with his
objections to its passage. The President,
no doubt highly excited declared, "that he
was now prepared---Lle had the veto in his
pocket."
LEGAL Dcmsrolv. —Judge HORNDLOWER,
of the supreme court of New Jersey, has de.
ceded, that when a• person is claimed as a
slave, he shall be tried before a jury—on
the ground of the constitutional law_. that
every man is entitled to a fair and impartial
trial by a jury of his peers.
Chief Justice SAVAGE, ofNew Ycirk, has
given it as his opinion, that combinations
among mechanids, to raise the price of wa
ges, is an indictable offence by the aegres
sore.
TERRIBLE DISASTER.—The Montreal
Herald gives us the particulars of the dirais
irons and awful effects of the breaking up o
the ice near that city. By a sudden move
ment of the ice in the St. Lawrence, the
masses became rapidly piled up at the Is
land wharf forming avalanches up to the
roofs of the houses, presenting a scene of
sublime and awful grandeur, destroying the
large stone store of Mr. J. 'fry, a shed be
longing:to Mr. A. Shed, a distillery, and
burying a 4rnall house occupied by a cooper
named White, who with his wife and two
children it is feared have been crushed to
death. The river was still rising and it was
feared that the danger was not over.

"True!" cried a lady, when reproached
with the inconsistent marriage she had
made; "I have often said I never would mar
ry a parson, or a Scotchman, or a presbyte
rian; but 1 never said I would not marry a
Scotch presbyterian parson."
It is not generally known that names mai;
be affected, and even completely changed,
by the state of the weather. Such,however,
is unquestionably the case. The late Ali..
Suet, the actor, going once to dine about
twenty miles from London, and being only
able to get an outside place on the conch,
arrived in such a bedraggled state from an
incessant rain, and so muffled up in great
coati and pocket-handkerchiefs, that his
friend enquired,doubtingly, "Are you Suet?"
"No!" replied the wag, "Tm dripping!"
Wursx.ens.----A French lady in London,
by advertisement, "ongeges,for ten shillings
per month, to keep gentlemen's whiskers a
very good colour." What a blessing to
bachelors, and to spinsters also—for they
will share the benefit of the beauty thus ac-
quired by the other sex. Wiihout whir•
kers, or with whiskers of a bad colour, no
,gentleman can expect to wed an heiress,
who, be it observed, is a beauty ex officio
Well, then, he may be duly qualified to press
his suit with any degree of ardour, at the
trifling cost of httlf.a•crown per week. On
those terms he may fascinate whom he
pleases, and be continually going to Gretna.
The only doubt in our minds refers to the
phrase, a "very good colour." Green ib a
very good colour—and so is purple; but not
perhaps fin. whiskers.. True, we see them
sometimes of the latter hue after a three
days' dye. Green and purple whiskers may
come into fashion yet.
Most parents never look higher for their
sons than to see them delving like muck
worms for monet,, or hopping about like jay
birds in fine feathers. Hence their conver
sation is generally no better .than froth or
nonsense. •

D R. HULL'S RECENTLY IMPRO.
VED TRUSS.--The distinguished
surgeonsand medical faculty of the cities gener
ally, and elsewhere, have come to the conclu
sion that this Truss, in its present improved
state, is the only instrument surgically adapted
to the disease of Rupture, and the only one that
patients can rely upon for the safe retention of
the bowels and the final cure of the disease.
In confirmation of which the following names
of distinguished medical gentlemen of New
York city, with many others, have expressed a
decided-prefereuce for this instrument, are res
pectfully sidled:
Valentine Mott, M. D. George Bushe, M. D.
A. A. Stevens, M. D. David Hosack, M. D.
John B. Beck, M. D. Samuel Ackerly , M. D
Cyrus Perkins, M. D. David M. Reese, M. D.
John Stearns, M. D. Wm Anderson, M. D.
Also, the following extract of a late certificate
of Dr. Molt, of Nst York:
"For the -Jane- ,months, the curative
powers of Dr. Roll's Truss have been tested
-,, n , tegy:own.-obstervittion with the most gran
tying success in asses of great difficulty, in
which the mutilated imitation Trusses so com
mon in our market, had only aggravated the
disease. Dr. hull is an experienced surgeon,
who has displayed not u little surgical skill and
mechanical ingenuity in bringing this unrivalle.l
instrument to napresent slate of perfection, ren
dering it, I know, the best 1 eversaw for secur
ing, comforting and miring the ruptured patient.
and is in my opinion, the only instrument of the
kind that is entitled to patronage of the profes
sion, and. the confidence of the people. •
