REPORT OF THE ll•ash ism, ton TeMperanCe , -Socfety of Gettysburg. This Society was formed on the 22d day of September last, by a Few persons in Gettysburg, who eawestly desired the re. il,rmation of several of the citizens, who were ruining themselves by the use of Ar dent Spirits. At the first `Meeting, twen ty-three parsons joined, and eight of the number were habitual D,uukards. The Society now oumbera 118 members, and tan of this number 40 were Drunkards.— Some of us have bun drinking for thirty years, some for twenty, and some for a less number el years. But two members have been expelled, arid they have been re claitried, and are now doing well. 'V e have met regnltirly once a week since Sep. t ember; our plan is to relate our experience, , nod thereby show the danger of tasting Liquor, the awful effects of Drunkenness, and the.benefits in every way of Temper• :wee; caw meetings are growing in interest as our list of members increases. A num- her of persons join every evening. We meet to keep this great object in view, viz: the reformation of the poor Inebriate, and try to enlist persons in this good cause who have never belonged to any Temper trace Society. Bence we have a by law requiring persons who belorn , to any other Society to ba received into ours by a vote of a majority of the members present.— We receive no females, nor any boys under sixteen year of age; but any mule citizen, who has never enlisted in the good cause, will find our arms and hearts open to re ceive them, and particularly those who fear they are in danger of being overcome by the powerful influence of "Prince Al eohoh" Already we have, done wonders it our Town. The influence of our'Society is felt in the Landlord's drawer, - in the Mechanic's pocket and around many a family fireside. Indeed Ciere are but few of our citizens left who are given to bah ! its of Intoxication; and we expect ere long to reach them, and banish the monster Intemperance from within our Borough limits and vicinity.. It is proper to re• mark that our Society is a part of the blessed fruits of the faithful labors` of the reformed Drunkards, Messrs. Burden and Morrison, of Baltimore—sent for by a few active members of the Total Abstinence Society of Gettysburg—who lectured so successfultj on Temperance in diffitrent parts of the County in September last.— We rejoice that we ever saw the faces of these Missionaries from the ".Baltimore Washington Temperance Society," and heard I heir entreaties to give up the accur sed thing. Many of us have tins been saved from the awful doom of the Drunk ard; and we have reason to hope that, al ready through 'our feeble instrumentality, others within the bounds of our County have been rescuer!, and we intend by the help of God to continue to labor in this glorious CatIPC.

The discussion was entirely unexpected, but al though made with little previous thought, Mr. Stevens brought a weight of argument and power of eloquence to bear upon the subject that was perfectly irresistible and pit all thought of reply, from any quarter, out of the question entirely. Altogether an unpremeditated effort, it was yet, as we we have heard it pronounced by eminent jilges not only or nUr own party hut of the opposition, the soundest argument that has b :en delivered in the Hons.] this session.- Mr. Stevens expressed his desire . to have either a resumption or liquidation by the Banks, such as would make it lusting, and not in such a trifling manner as this mire Wien proposed. The speech was listened to with intense interest by the members and an immense throng of spectators, and our only regret is that so sound, so rational, so powerful an exposition of the proper course to he pursued on this 'subject, was not heard by every eitiz9n in the Common wealth.— Har rtOurg Chron, A SINGULAR PACT.--- , There is, says the Hartford Engle, a fact of great interest to 'tl.o people of Connecuicut in connexion with tho Amisted negroes. The total pop ulation of tho State, by the into census is 310,015, ofwhich 54 are represented us slaves. These 54 include 37 Anaisted ne• gives who have been declared by the ❑. S.

GLRIPS - AT COiGRESTMEN. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS. It nifty appear tike presumption in-me to undertake to give a sketch, however Ilia, of this extraordinary 'man. I,shall never theless try it. It will hardly lid worth while to speak of his talents or genius. are universally !curWu to he uusurpaesed-- unequalled. Ho is a philosopher, states• man, orator, poet, critic, atA historian, arid is without any kind of doubt :ho most re. marlcatle man of the age. fie has fined almost every important station under this govornment;• has been a member of both hr.uses of Cungioss, minister to Russia, to England, and to Ghent, Secretary of State under Mr. Monroe, and President of the United States; and was at one period of his life Professor of Rhetoric in Harvard College. Ho is now about 75 years of age, and both physically and mentally has all the vigor of youth. He uses much bodi• ly exercise; walks a great deal, rises very early in the morning, and makes a daily practice, winter and summer, of immers ing himself in cold wafer as soon as he gets up. No dial this has conduced greatly to his health. Ho is ver" abstemious in his mode allying, and all his habits are uniform, consistent and thoroughly sys ternariZed. 111 person be is short; perhaps 5 feet 6 inches, full and round, hut not stoutly built. Ito has a quick lively step and seerns to p 08.1083 much agility. Elie head is almost tis bare of hair as the palm of his hand, and is of the most pcifct sym tdetry. It really looks as if it had been turned in a lathe and polished; it is so smooth, glossy and regular. Ills forehead s bold and wido. ilia eyes are small, dark and keen; has a florid complexion, n thin, long, sharp nose, a tilll face and large mouth. When much excited, his head be. comes like a coal of living tiro, and his whole face deeply flushed end animated At other times he looks calm and medita tire. His temper is irascible and ungov ernable; is impatient of contradiction and waspish. He never gives up his point let it be ever so trifling, or if oven proven to be in error. Indeed it always appeared to me that the more you convince him of the untenableness of his position, the greater pertinacity would ho display in adhering to it; and he is frightfully bitter towards all who oppose his views, and cuts right and left, at friends and foes indiscriminately, if they happen to stand in his way, and he tom one of the most venomous sarcastic tongues, that was ever put into the head of man, and he takes real delight in using it. Per piercing, rancorous severity ho never had his match. All that comes within his otrasp have to feel the full (bre° of his over whelming invective, keen wit, and biting sarcasm, and at times he is so unmerciful as to cause feelings of commissoration for his writhing victim, and horror at his cru elty. His disposition is unamiable, cold and unfeeling. He seems void ofa heart;has no charity or sensibility. lie is a severe, inflexible patriot of the Cato school. He is fearless in the pursuit of what ho be lieves to be right, and will turn aside for no obstacle that may interpose. He never consults mere expediency. If a measure be right in itself, that is sufficient for him; he will advocate it. As a Legislator he is not happy, nor useful in proportion to his power. Ile is not conciliating, and is ex ceedingly indiscreet. He makes injudi eines movements, and is governed too much by passion or impulse. His manners are generally cold and distant, though he is occasionally playful, and loves a joke as well as any one. ilia information is more extensive and varied, I firmly believe, than any man's living. There is no subject. either in the nos, the scie,nces, or in his tory, that he is not perfectly familiar with, and every event that has transpired within the last half centuary he can deseribe., par ticularly, even to names and dates. lie is literally a locomotive chronegical table. flis knowledge of human nature is . very great, and he is an admirable juilue, though a very severe one, of men. His manner of speaking is vehement and impassioned, and he uses much gesticulation; has a harsh but distinct ,voice, and modulates it with powerful effect. When indulging in his favorite sarcasm, his manner is inimitable. The peculiar scornful curl of lip, the point. ed finger, and }ladling of its watery eyes, and attitude of his body, unite in giving additional effect to the pungency of his wit. His administration was characterized by simplicity, economy and wisdom, and the future historian will record it as the best and ablest that has ever occurred under the Government. The whole country under it enjoyed tranquility • and security, • and every department of business went along smoothly and prosperously. In all his of Irbil acts he alone consulted the public good, and he did all in his power to allay party strife, and to unite the whole people and all sections of the country in one har monious purpose. His private life is as pure as his public is patriotic, and when he shall have been gathered to the tomb of his fathers he will leave behiud him a fame that will endure as long as public virtue, genius, and patriotism nro appreciated. I could give many anecdotes to illustrate par ticular traits in Mr. Adams' character, but I have already gone beyond my limits.— Whilst giving him credit for that which is Commendable, I have not hesitated to no tice the defects which in my humble judg ment mar, in no inconsiderable degree, the beauty of his character.— • JoHN Ilnxnnasoir, or Hen• Jerson is a native of NeW Jersey, but when quite a young man emigrated to the Suite which ho now in part represents, in the hiffliest branetkf the National Legislature. His age is about 47. Previous to, his e lection to his present position, he neeu pied a seat upon the bench of the Supreme Court of his adopted state, and was very highly esteemed as ajlidge by the members of the legal prof ssion. _ In perfon ho may be 5 feet 9 inches tall, and rather inclined to be slender; has dark hair and grey eyes; largo brew, square forehead, and thin visage. The expression of his countenance is of a serious cast. In his dress and address he is very plain and informal. His manner of speaking is cold' and indifferent; uses no action; has a disa greeable voice and appears embarrassed. lie is, however, a sensible, char headed rinin, very sound in his views, and efficient. He is a member of the judiciary commit• tee, arid took a very active part is maturing the great jubilee inea.ure of the late set sion of Congress—the general bankrupt law. As a public man he will be much more useful than many who pos, , ess a more brilliant intellect. lie has great industry, a diecrimina ling mind, perseverence, and turns his whole attention to matters of practical importance. He don't exhaust himself in frying to find oat what ought not to be done, but directs his attention to measures which the exigcncits of the country and the wants of the people demand. fie is a . porilive trt a negative legislator; and, therefore, will be serviceable. In private lile ho is most exemplary, has a hind, good heart, and liberal disposition. =:== BUCHA: 4 IAN AND A TADIFF--It appears from a letter which Mr. BUCHANAN has seen fit to publish in the Globe that he has come to the astonishing conclusion, "that even after the proceeds of the public lands ; should be recalled, and the expenditures of ' the government reduced by a wise econo my, it would still he nece s sary- to impose , additional REVENUE duties, to meet the necessities of the Government," and this I very oracular sentiment has been seized upon by the Locofoeo papers of this mere dian, and even echoed by a few Whig, journals with a little tan much dough in their composition, as Or t only wise but a clear indication that this federal Senator is disposed to protect our agricultural, me chanical and manuFectering intore:ds from overwhelming foreign competition. There is no such idea conveyed or embraced in the extract. It. is merely thrown out as an anchor ahead to justify Buchanan in his I intended vote to repeal the Land Distribu tion bill and rob the States—debt burden ed, tax oppressed and almost dishonored Pennsylvania included—of their rightful inheritance in the public domain, in order to gain favor with the South, with whom "the distingushed Senator" is coquetting fin- her vote to elect him President. Is there a single word that express s sympa thy for, or an intention to relieve, tho prostrate industry of the Union? • No such thing; he talks—and we have placed the word in onpitals —only about 'REVENUE duties.' which may be as well imposed on articles which do not compete with home manufactures and products, as those which come from nth-pad to chill our furnaces— arrest the hammers of our forges—stop the' clink of our machinery, and close the shape of our mechanics. We are not surprised, to see the political toadyism of the Loco Foci) papers with regard to thisietter, for 'tis "their vocation;" but we are astonish ed to behold Whig presses seizing on this "tub thrown to the whetic,„" and prr.isir.il- Buchanan as if he had done some greatly gond thing, even while the debasing doc trines of his low wages speech are still ringing in our ears, and we have not for gotten that he would reduce the condition of our producing classes to an equality with that occupied by the serfs and starve lings cf oppressed Europe.— York Rep. REPORT OF TIIE SOPERINTENDET 01' C 031310,1 Scnoor.s.--Jhe eighth annual re. port of the Superintendent of the Common Schools of Pennsylvania has been laid be• fore the Legislature, and published. The present report has not the interest of some of its predecessors—owing, possibly, to the little time the Superintendent is able to devote to the duties of his office. It never theless presents a gratifying view of the spread of this enlightened system, which only requires a fair trial to be permanently adopted, and suggests many particulars wi:J.6in by a judicious action of the Legis lature it might be materially improved. The following abstract will furnish a toter ably accurate idea of the present condition oh the system. Every township, borough, or ward, in the Commonwealth, excepting the city of Phil adelphia, constitutes a school district; and on the first Monday of June, 1841, the whole number of such districts was 1,072. Of these 1,55 had refused to receive their share of the State appropriation. '• The number of schools in the accepting districts, during the year 1841, was 6,740, and the average time of - their - remaining open, 5 months and 7 days. Number of schools yet required in these districts, 607. The whole number of Teachers employ ed during the year was 7,602, of whom 5,2:34 were males, and 2,368 were females. Average salaries of the male teachers per - month. $lB 90; do. female teachers, Etll 45. 'l'ho whole amount of tho school fund in he accepting districts, fur the school year lE+4l, was 8J647,:352 85; of which 8;397,- 952 01 was raised by tax assessed ton school purposes. The whole number of male scholars in the schools in 1941, was 156,225; do. fe males, 128,141;—total, 2.94,469. Average number of scholars in each school 44; ay. emgo cost of each scholar per quarter, SI 16- Whole numbers of scholars in the German language, 5,174. The whole number of childrel in the Commonwealth who are over five and under fifteen years of age, accordi.;g to the last census, is 413,20 G. According to the estimate of the Superintendent, there were about 37,000 children, in 11341, in the ac• copting districts, who were not instructed either in the common Schools, Academies or Female Seminaries. The number of scholars attending the schools during the past year exceeded that of the former by nearly 30,000.—Lnn. Ex. One liunlred and nine persons were drowned in New York during 1541, and fur!y•fuur commined suicide. ......•pit 0 5e.... WIIO KILLED CocK Roam?—John J •M'Calien, the immediate representative_in the House oldie Spitalsfield Weavers, has taken upon himself with his usual modesty the office of lender of the so called democ• racy alias the federalists of that' body, and the championship of their Cause, and in pursuance of this assumed dignity, he im agines himself called upon 011 every conve nient occasion to attack Mr. Stevens, for whom he thinks himself much more than an equal match. Accordingly wheh that gentlemen in the course of u debate yes terday gave the loco loco party the title of federal, which their conduct show them to have richly earned. M'Cahen sprung .to his feet in great rage, swelled up like the toad in the fable trying to imitate the Cl 7, and declared himself "indignant, incensed, angry, at the charge made againbt .the party with whom he had the honor to act." From this he flew off to '33, arid :made a low, vulgar, pot house harangue, such as he ' made; to his cog fighters -during that mem. orable era. Meanwhile his cheeks:Wore 1 swelleil to their utnirst tension, and every one anticipated a catastrophe. Ho gat his.seat, however, without an explosion. After ho was seated the Speaker made a reference to some position assumed by, Mr. Stevens which that gentleman wis h e d 1 to explain, and he said he only did so be ' cause the Speaker had always maintained tho character of a gent/mien in debate. 1 This brought Cock Robin again to his feet in a towering passiorr. He .iomanded to know if Mr. Stevens said he was no gen. t/eman. Mr. Stevens declared nothing .was farther from his intention than to refer to any thing that came from that men.-- H., said he could find legitimate subjects of debate enough and ho should never travel out of his way for vermin. This, M'Cahen took to himself, too, and we really felt compassion for the misery of the little ... fellow, until he got another opportuni ty to deliver Ititnself, which was not for more than a half an hour, during ell of which time ho was in perfect . newly— squirming like "vermin" on coals of fire. Ile at last got the floor and discharged the t contents of his stomach on the House, which, as any one may suppose who knows the foulness that has formerly lengendered there, was offensive enough to all who have not been accustomed to wallowing in such filth themselves. After he had exhausted his voice vocahula. ry of billingsgate terms, he went round to 1 each locofoco member in turn to receive 1 their congratulations fe.r what the chesse rat grin on his face said as plainly as words could say, ' havo'ot I used him up? It 1 . takes me to fi,l off their great anttmasomc leader." But unfortunately for his self complacency, Mr. Stevens nor no one else i took any notice of his slang speech, and he soon slunk hack into his seat, mortified at 1 the effect he had produced.—Harrisburg 1 Chron. Bore, IRE SUICIDE. — AII sorts of sto. ries aro related with regard to this wretched man, and doubtless some of them greatly exaggerated. He was the perpetrator of many fraudulent acts, and is charged with an indebtedness to various banking mstitu Lions to the extent of nearly 200,000. Tho Philadelphia Gazette states that he made his will on Wednesday night, while nt the office of his Attorney, C. Gnillou, Esq. in which he has made his wife Exece trtx, to be assisted by his Attorney, at the same tine giving Mr. G. his watch, to be given to a little son of the deceased This instrument it appears was witnessed by Mr. G. and Mr. Saunders, the Sheriff's officer; who apprehended no personel vin• fence, as Boyd made positive arrangements with his Attorney to call at the prison on IVediiesday fur the purpose of preparing some imported documents. Ilis remains were buried yesterday in Ronaldson's Co . metery. The Towanda 13a0, by the way, has been an unfortunate of i& for the people of Pennsylvania, and it may be feared that Boyd was not the only individual who should be held responsible for time misdo , logs of that Institution.—Phil. Imp • NOVEL PnoenzoiNcs.—*Several petitions have been sent to the Legislature recently, signed by a large number of the citizens of the city and county of Philadelphia, praying that honorable body to adjourn without delay, and we see by the Philadel• phia papers that there is one in circulation signed by about eleven thousand names making the same modest request. These petitioners urge as a tenson for their prayer that No Legislature is likely to do more evil than good—that they ate putting the people to a great expense for which they will make no adequate return. It is not to be denied that the present Legislature isnot composed exclusively of Solomons—or even that the majority are not all Solonumr. But we think the re puest of, the petitioners is currying the joke too far, and we are inclined to believe that it is dictated by a fear that the Legis lature may do something (though their fears are unfounded) to compel the batiks to redeem their obligations. Many of the people of Philadelphia seem to think, or to act as though they thought, the Legis lature constituted expressly for theirinter. est, and that it is bound to forget that the ' , city and county" is not the whole State. It is this mistake that has prinei• pally induced this movement, and which editors leads the city to spook of it us though it were composed of all the scamps in the commonwealth.—Hur. Citron. THE WILDERNESS BLESSOMING. - Eight veers ago Chicago was a wilderness, with only a garrison to kelp back the Indians. Now, there are-11,000 . inhabitants in that county. The city contains above 6,600. The import trade is worth $1,500,000 annually—the exports last year were about $34q,000! A monthly average of 150 ves , lels enter and leave the harbor. Truly the "wilderness is blossoming as the rose." Y.t. Aurora. THE TA FILES TURN OD.— Southern p"• Mit:inns have, for many years, manitested great hostility to a protective tariff: In the cotton growing States this opposition arises from interest, as the consumption of their cotton by foreign countries is in pro portion to the quantity of goods manlike lured of that staple. As large importations of such goods aid the cotton growers of tilt South, they discourage the levy of duties on foreign goods, regardless of the interest of other sections of the Union. But the y are likely to have the tables turned on them, as tt is sorted that Eastern manufac tureis are sending to India for cotton. It is known that the East India company and the B rills!) government are engaged in promoting the cultivation of cotton an the East Indies, where the soil and climate are well adapted to its growth—and that large tractS of land have hoer devoted • to that purpose. It is anticipated that the supply of cotton from this source will be sufficient, in a low years, fir. the wants of the British manufacturers, it' nut those of the world, When this takes place, it will produce a great change in the interests and feelings of the southern cotton planter—and render his lands comparatively useless. if a home market be not previously established for his cotton, which can only be done by fos tiring domestic manufactures. The or tiers which have been sent to the East Indies to supply our manufacturers will ho apt to open the eyes of southern mon to their true interests—and %%e shall not be urpris• ed to find them, in a short time, amongst the most strenuous advocates of a protec tive tarilY—Clipper.

TILE BANKRUPT LAW AND THE STATE INSOLVENT LAws—The Baltimore papers contend that. tho Genorcl Bankrupt Law virtually repeals or annuls the Insolvent laws of evry State in the Union, and in support of this opinion they refer to a do. cision of Chief Justice Marshall to this effect when the State Insolvent Laws were before the Supreme Court about twen ty years ago. Under the belief that the State Insolvent Laws are superccded by the Bankrupt Law, Bays the Patriot, the commissioners of insolvent debtors have declined to receive any new applications for the benefit of the insolvent laws of the State. Tho question is about to be brought befura.the Bultunore County Court for :their decision. A . CASE OF JEALOUSY.—The N. Y. Tribune says: Mrs. Franc is Thomas, the separated wife of Gov.

We deem it a duty wo owe to• tho people, as well as the Commissioners of this county, to no ti , e an artielo which appeared in the °Compiler" of last we k under the above caption. To sliew th a t the writer has not only misrepresented facts, but wilfully perverted the truth, It will only -be necessary for the intelligent reader to examine our statements. It is assettad in the article alluded to, that the expenses of this county art, as great as ever they were. This is positively false! Now fur the proof: ..—The Auditor's statement of 1R39 makes the expenditures for.that year $2,379 more than those of 1810; end again, the expenditures of 1841 are $1,0:38 lessthan those of 1840—thus, showing most conclusively, that there hos been a great and grains' reduction of the expenditures of the county during the last two years, notwith , standing the Veil: received $4OO annually, for his services.' l'his Item of expenditure (the Clerk's salary•) the writer thinks exorbitant and extravagant; and therefore attempts to prove that the county must necessarily be increasing its ex penditures, because, forsooth, that officer (it's well known the I;ocos have no sympathy for him,) receives u bare living for his services. 'Tis true, the Clerk receives more now than was paid in former years; but such has been the increase of duties in the Commissioners' office within the last few }ears, us to render it necessary for the presort occupant to resign his situation as a pub. lie teacher, and devote his id:ok attention to the business of the ,dice. That the affairs of Adams county have been administered on the most economies! principlos, and that her citizens are burdened with less tax for county purposes than any other county in the .stute, no one dare deny. She is now not only out of debt, (notwithstanding the late purchase of land made for her Alms house,) but has this year rcdneed her rate of tax from 33 1.3 to 30 Feb emit ; and, we arc gratified to learn that the Commissioners propose n still greater reduction next year. Is there a county in the State whose condition is better, or in which the people are loss oppressed by taxation?

EDlTOR:—Althnugh the most wondrous praise has been lavished by a "Citizen" upon the Anniversary performances of the .Philomuthaian Society on the 15th ult., and the whole vocabu lary appears to have been ransacked to pile one term of eulogy upon another until all aro em braced in his communication—yet, permit me to say, that looking upon that article as ironical in its terms, the pubic are oven yet willing to give merit its reward. And however indiscrimina ting and indiscriminate may be the' praise that was bestowed—however "unsurpassed and Un surpassable" the exercises of that occasion may have been, the pram (ions of their rival, the Phrenak‘Antian Society, at their Anniversary cel ebration on thq evening of the 22d ult., though not so pt Fleet as not to be surpassed—not so eloquent as not to he excelled, are such as to be pronouns the crowded audience who were present on the ocOnion, nut surpasSed by even the "Unit:). 64,569 2,252 62 57,515 2,006 83 WAsHINcroN, Feb. 23, 1842. passable" efforts—""the never-before excelled," of the 15th. The orations of the gentlemen who so worthily represented their Society, wore written in a plain, terse style—contained sound senti ments, were delivered in a clear, emphatic man ner, and exhibited an acquaintance with classic lord, with prominent incidents in history (which wore aptly used)and with the scientific movements of the past and present ages, the discoveries in the arts and sciences— which, collected and presen ted as they were, need not the aid of en encomiast to herald their praises or secure for them a proper share of public favor. Neither puffs or flatteries can getter them;—upon their intrinsic merits they will stand and vie successfully with those of their literary rival. It is only to be regretted that, in asmuch as we are favored with several exhibitions in each year St which the members of our college must, of necessity, be the performers—these anni. versary occasions should not always furnish to our citizens some addresses from gentlemen not in active connection with the Saddlers. Unex pected disappointment, no doubt, will account for the absence of tkin.on this occasion. Too great praise cannot be bestowed upon those who had the management of this anniversary fur their successful effurts,in securing fur the additional gra tification of their audience, instrumental music of a high order.

A low of the subj , itmed letters and certificates are from revectable citi zens, and some of the many recommenda tions I have had in favour of the virtue of the above medicine. bIroRTANT TEs7 DIONY.— Consumption and Bleeding of the Lungs cured.—Mr. William Sheppard, residing in Beaver county, Pa. near the state line, relates as follows.:—"In the month of May .last my wife was taken with Bleeding from the Lunge, coughing,- night sweats, hectic fever, &c. She had taken a violent cold; having previously given symptoms of the approach of Consumption, I felt treacle d !armed and made immediate application to a physician. Under his treatment Aliti be came worse, instead of better, until the first o f June, when I heard from an intelligent man of Dr. Stenyne's Syrup of Si ild Cher ry, anti from his earnestness in recommend. ing' it I was induced to try one bottle.— The effect exceeded my utmost expects. lions—she felt immediate relief. I then mounted my horse and rode to the office, No. 41 Si. Clair street, Pittsburg, where it is kept fir sale, and procured six bottles' more, which I am happy to say has effe'et ed a perfect cure. Please publish this cer tificate, with my name in full, that others may know where to find the greatest bless ing on earth. The above invaluable Medicine for sale, at my (Alice, No. 54 North GO street, Phila., and by SAMUEL S. FORNEY, my sole agent for Gettysburg. where the only genuine article can be had. $5.417 13 DOCTOR SWAYNE.
