THIS medicine has been but a few years before the public, and the demand for it has already become so great, that the sub. scriber finds it difficult to supply the numer ous orders which he is constantly receiving. Innumerable Certificates in his possession bear testimony to its medicinal virtues and attest the fact of its having preserved the lives of hundreds both in this city and else .. where. His VEGETABLE COUGH DROPS, a new article, are also getting into general use, having been productive of the most be neficial effects in hundreds of families of the first respectability in this city and vicinity ! and although they have in one instance, but without any foundation or truth, been pro nounced poisonous, lIUNDREDS of cert if.cates can be produced of their having performed positive rind effectual cures in the most obsti nate cases, both on' young and old, and he now challenges any one to produce satisfac tory evidence that there is one particle of any ingredient in' their composition that can injure a person in the lowest stage of any disease. - - - Having administered his medicines in al- Most all diseases to which the human fami ly are subjected, he never, in a Finale in stance, found them to produce any injurious effects, but, on the contrary,they have been attended with the most complete success. N. B.—As the Fever and Ague is very prevalent at this season of the year, he can confidently recommend his VEGETABLE BITTERS as a CERTAIN cunc,and invites all who may be afflicted with this dreadful disease to make trial of them.

Robert Lincoln, Esq., Agent of the New York Western Lumber Company, has just returned from the St. Peters river near the head of steamboat navigation, on the Mis. sissippi, bringing with him a Living Wild Man of the woods, with two cubs supposed to be about three months old. Mr. Lincoln went out to the north-west as agent of the N. Y. Lumber Company, in July last; with a view to establish extensive saw mills, on the pine lands near the Falls of St: Anthony,and he has given us a detail of the operations of the company, and the cirenmstance which led to the capture of the extraordinary creature mentioned above. The Company sent out their expedition in July last. The workmen and laborers with the principal part of the machinery, went by way of New Orleans, and at that city they chartered a steamboat and .pro ceeded up the Mississippi. The whole bu siness was under the direction of Mr. Lin coln. They had on board all necessary ' tools and saws, together with all the appara tus for a grist mill, horses, cows, a good stock of provisions, arms, ammunition, &c. The pasted directly up the river, finally reached the St. Peters in safety. During the winter Mr. Lincoln and seve ral of the workmen made frequent excur sions in pursuit of game, which was very abundant, and their camp was one continued scene of festivity. The Indians brought in large quantities of furs, which Mr. Lincoln purchassd for a mere trifle, and lined his cabins with them throughout, which-render ed his rude huts very warm and comforta ble. About the 14th January, two of tho car. penters who had been in pursuit of a gang of wolves that had proved very troublesome, came into the camp and reported that they had seen . a huge monster in the forest, on 'a branch of the Mississippi, having the form of a man, but covered over with long hair, and of a hightlul aspect. They stated that when seen he was standing,on a log, looking directly at them, they raised their muskets, he darted into the thicket and disappeared. They saw him again in about half an hour, apparently watching them, and when they turned towards him he again disappeared. Mr. Lincoln was at first disposed to think lightly of this matter, believing that the men might have been mistaken about the size and height of the object, or_ supposing it might have been a trick of the Indians to frighten them—He was informed, however, by some natives, that such a being had often been seen on the St. Peters; and near the falls of . the Mississippi, and they proposed to guide a party of workmen to a bluff where it was. thought he might bo The men were all ready for an adventure and armed themselves with rifles and hun tiog knives, they started for the bluff under the direction of Mr. Lincoln and the Indi l nn guides. On the way they were joined by several of the natives, and the whole party numbered twenty-three. They arrived at the bltiff late in the af ternoon of the 21st January and encamped in a cave or grotto, at the foot of the hill-- Early next morning two cf the Indians were sent out to. reconnoitre, •and in about an hour returned, and said that they hadseen. the wild man on the other side of the hill. The whole 'party immediately prepared for the pursuit. M r. Lincoln gave positive or ders not to fire upon him unless it should be necessary in self defence, as he wished if , pos-tble to tako him alive. The Indians state• although a powerful creature, he was • •fieved to be perfectly harmless, as he al a 'ed at the approach of men: Mr. L. was givt • hi: men their instructions; when the will , n appeared in eight. He ordered them to remain perfectly quiet, and taking out his pocket glass surveyed him minutely. He appeared to bo about eight or nine feet high, and very athletic, and more like a beast standing erect, than a man.— The Indians had provided themselves with ropes prepared to catch wild horses, with which they hoped to ensare and bind the creature without maiming him. The instant the company moved toward , him he sprang forward with a loud and fear ful yell which made the forest ring; the Indians followed close upon him, and Mr. L. and his mon brought up the rear.. . The pursuit was continued for nearly an hour —now gaining upon the object of their chase, and noty almoit loosingsrght of hirn. • He finally darted-:into a thicket. and they were utiable to find him. They then began to' trace their steps to wards the place of their encaropment,•and when within a mile of cavern, the wild man crossed their. fath, within twenty rode. They immediately gave chase again and ac cidentally drove the creature from the for-- est into an open prairie. At length he sud denly stopped and turned upon his pursuers. Mr. Lincoln was then in' advance. Fear ing that ho might attack or return to the woods and escape, he fired at him and lodg• led a charge of buckihot in his leg. - He fell immediately, and the Indians sprang for ward and threw their ropes over his head, arms and legs. and with much efforts suc ceeded in binding him fast. He struggled however, most desperately, gnashed hie teeth, and howled in a frightful manner.— They then formed a sort of litter of branch es of limbs of trees, and placing him upon it, carried him to the encampment. A watch was then placed over him, and every effort that could be devised to keep him qui et, but,he continued to howl most piteous ly all night. TOwards morning two cubs about three feet high, and very similar to the large monster came into the camp, and were taken without resistance. As soon as the monster saw them he became very furious—gnashed his teeth and howled, and thrashed abdut until he burst several of the cords, and came very near effecting his es cape. .He was bound anew, and after that he was kept most carefully watched and guarded. The next day he was placed on the litter and carried down the Hills on the St Peters. For two or three days, Mr. Lincoln says, he refused to eat or drink or take any kind of food, but continued to hoWl at intervals for an hour at a time, at length, however he began to eat; but from that time his bowls ceased, and he has remained stupid and eul. len ever since. The cubs took teed very readily, and became quiet, active and play. ful. Mr. Lincoln is a native of Boston, and some of the workmen engaged at his mills aro from this city. He arrived here on Saturday afternoon, in the brig St. Charles, Stewart, master, from New Orleans, with the wild man and the cubs, and they were all removed from the vessel that evening. By invitation of Mr. Lincoln who is an old ac quaintance, we went down to his rooms to examine this monster. He is a horrid looking creature, and reminds us of the fa bled satyrs, as . we have pictured them to our own mind.. Ho is about eight feet three in ches high; when standing erect, and his frame is of giant proportions in every part. His legs are not straight but like those of any other four footed animal, and his whole body is covered with a hide very much like that of a cow. His arms are very large and long, and ill proportioned. It does not ap pear from his manner that he ever walked on "all fours." The fingers and toes are all bunches, armed with stout claws.. His head is covered with thick, coarse black hair like the mane of a horse. The ap pearance of his countenance, if such it may called, is very disgusting—nay, almost her, rible. It is covered with a lighter and thin ner coarthan the rest of his body—there is appearance of eyebrows or nose; the mouth is very large end wide,and similar to that of a baboon. His eyes are quite dull and hea vy, and there is no indication of.cunning or activity about them. Mr. Lincoln says he is beyond doubt carniverous, as he univer sally rejected bread and vegetables, and eats flesh with great avidity. He thinks he is of the ourang-outang species; but from what we have seen, we are inclined to con sider him a wild animal, something resem bling a man. _ He is, 'to say the least, one of the most extraordinary creatures that has ever been brought before the public, from any part of the earth, and we believe will prove a diffi cult puzzle to the scientific.

Long before the hour,otmesting; the galleries were crowded by citilens .from all parts. of the country, and it was understood that all tthe mem-- bent elect were present; except Mr: Keropshall, (Whig,) of New-York, who was.unaccountably absent. There being one vacancy•in Mauachu setts, the members present nuMbered 240. The Clerk; Mr. Garlandoat 12' o'clock, called the Houk, to order. He said that #lif it was the pleasure •of theikuse, he would read the,narnea of tke "inintbers of the Twenty-sixth congress from *list which he.had prepared 'for the occa sion." There was a• moment's, pause, and no objection being made, the Clerk proceeded to read the names Irom thevwritteit list before 'him, be ginning with the Maine ilelegation. , • When the State of New Jersey , was named, the Clerk read the "name of J. F. Randolph. He then said there were five contested seats 'mate New Jersey delegation, which, if it was the pleasure of the House, he *mild pass over, leaving the sub ject to the future action of the House.. -. , The first nettled of the Pennsylvania delegation was then read, when the Clerk was interrupted by Mr. Maxwell, one of the New Jersey- delegation. Mr. Maxwell called for - the reeding of the certifi cate of election of the five members:' Gov. Pen nington's certificate announcing the election of the six members, Messrs. Nycrigg, Maxie% Hal sted, Stratton, Yorke and Randolpkwas theti reed. Mr. Mercer, of Va. called for the reading 'of the law of New Jersey. • • - " Mr. Rives, of Va. called • for the readifig of the names of the remaining members lbr the purpose of forming a quorum. - • . • Mr. Hoffman objected to the'propolitton. He addressed the clerk and naked him whit right he had to call any member, but as he'hadlividence of his election through a certificate laid.tipon the ta ble. That was the only 'evidence he.could have of an election, and you sir; said Mr. Hoffman, ad. dressing the Clerk, have no more right to pass by the names of the New Jersey members then you have to pan over my name. - Mr. Hoffinin con sidered it an assumption of poweron the part of the clerk to go behind the return of the Governor in the form of a certificate of election: The evi dence of the election of the several members was equally good. . Mr. Halsted, one of the New Jersey delegation followed Mr. Hoffman. He said demand se a sovereign member of the State of. New Jersey,that my name be called. I demand it in virtue of my election. proved by the broad seal of the Slate of Now Jersey. I deny that the mere clahiset up against precedent— Spinet parliamentary usage-- against justice—shall be so considered u to pass by the names of the me mbers elect." Mr. Vanderpool, of New-York, proposed that the testimony of the claimants be read- before the law of New Jersey applicable to elections, or in. connection with them. • Mr. Tillinghast said that upon the evidence of the certificate of the governor of Nevr4ersey tho Clerk had caused the name et Mr.' Ran dolph to be read, and yet, upon the anis evi dence ho had refused the evidence of the elee. tion of the remaining five members. The 'Clerk, Mr. T. contended, had no right to do this. The certificate proved alike and equally the election of alt the members. .Mr. Johnson, of Maryland, appealed to the members. Ile denied the power of the Clerk to refuse to read the names of the New-Jersey . mem bers. The only evklence he had of his ' ap aloe. tion was the high oeal'of the State of Maryland, and the members elect from Nina , Jersey had the same proof of their election. Mr Biddle said that if the Suggestion, of Mr. Rives, of Va. were carried out, monstrons 'abuses would spring up under it. • Mr. Seargeant, of Penn. spoke at some length, censuring the conduct of the Clerk, and Ii reply to some remarks made by Mr. Slade, of Vermont. Mr. Randolph, of New Jersey, followed Mr. Sergeant. He was for the reading of the law of Now Jersey applicable to the subject. • Mr. Bynuw,of North Carolina, spoke at length in reply to Mr. Bedstead; in &feats tithe eon,
