BtfOF BOUND.
The fallowing are the directions of Dr.
DODD for this disease
"In &li cises we must endeavor to give
the frog a bearing on the ground, and in
order to do this the shoe ought to be re
moved. A dry, brittle and contracted hoof
may be improved by repeated poulticing
with soft soap and rye meal applied cold.
So soon as the hoof softeDs. let it be dressed
night and morning, with turpentine, linseed
oil, and powdered charcoal equal parts.—
Yet, after all a run at grass in a soft pas
ture, the animal having nothing more than
tips on his feet, is the host treatment. A
very popular notion exists, that cow meas
ure has a powerful effect on a contracted
hoof, bat it is the candid opinion of the
author, and no doubt the reader will coin
cide that filth and dirt of every kind are
unfavorable to healthy action. Such rem
edy, aside from its objection on the score
of desccncy, savors too much of bv-gone
days, when live eels were sent on an errand
down horse's throats to unravel their iutes
tincs. If any benefit belongs to such an
objectionable application, it is due to the
property it posesses of retaining moisture;
therefore cold poultices and water arc far
superior. Clay and moist earth, placed in
the stall for the horse to stand on, are far
inferior to a stuffing of wet oakum, which
can be removed at pleasure. In order to
keep it in contact with the sole, we have
only to insinuate two strips of w<od between
the sole and shoe one running lengthwise
and the other crosswise of the foot. It af
fords considerable pressure to the foot, is
cooling and cleanly, as far superior to the
abeve articles.'— Farm Journal.
Horse Shoes Without Nails.
A Yankee by the name of Short has in
vented a horse shoe which requires no nails.
He makes the whole two pieces, employing
in addition, two small screws to aid in screw
ing the parts together. But are made of
mailable iron—the lower portion, or'sole'
being very similar to the hcrse shoe ordi
narily employed, but with a groove around
its exterior, and without nail holes. The
upper portion or, 'vamp,' is thin, and has a
flange projecting inward from its lower edge
to match the groove in the sole. The parts
are so arranged as to secure a tight and
firm connection, and the whole is made addi
tionally secure by the aid of the set screws
before mentioned at the heel. A shoe of
this kind once fitted the vamp may be made
to wear out a great number of soles. The
exterior may be highly snished and plated
with silver, which gives a very flashy ap
pearance to a team of lively horses, or the
shoes may be enamelled jet black when in.
tended for white or gra7 animals. One
practical advantage to be derived from this
style of shoes is the facility with which they
can bt removed or exebaaged, so that a
skillfull hostler may exchange the shoes,
or rather the soles, on every occasion when
thß presence of ice or the like renders it
desirable, and it may even be expedieut in
extreme cases of exhaustion, as with race
horses, to remove the shoes altogether for
a time, and allow a more refreshing rest-

Watermelon .Molasses.
An article Las been going the rounds of
papers about the practicability of making
molasses from watermelons. We felt in
credulous en the subject, but have recently
been presented with a bottle of it by our
friend PuiLtp A. MASON, of Woodbury.
New Jersey, who is well known in this mar
ket as a successful grower of the mountain
sweet watermelon. It was really a nice
article, clear sweet, aud of verv pleasant
flavor. lie informed us the only process
was to boil down the pulp to about one-half.
The boiling was continued for several hours.
M hether it will pay to manufacture tnoiass
es lu this way is another question, and
a matter of very great doubt.— Farm

A FRVEHAI, SERMON. — Parson S
* rather eccentric character was called upon
to ' pieaeh the funeral"' of a hard case
named Raun, which he did, in the followiug
unique style:
"My beloved brethren and sisters, if eur
beloved Brother Rann would a wanted some
body to come here and toil lies about him,
' lit a better Man than he was, be wouldu't
Lave chose ie to preach his funeral.
"No, my bretheren, ho wanted to be held
up as a 'burning and a shining light,' to
warn you from the error of your ways. He
kept horses, and he run'd" 'ein; he kept
chickens, and he fou't 'em. Our departed
biother had many warnin's, brethren. The
first waruin' was when he broke his leg, but
he still went on in the error of his ways.—
The second warnin' was when his son Pete
huug himself in jail; and the last and
greatest waruin' of ail was when he died
himself"
Ihe preacher ealarged on these topics,
until be sunk Rann so lotf that his hearers
began to doubt whether he would ever suc
oeod in getting him up .again, and, as is
usual in ''funerals," landing hiui safe in
Abraham s bosom. This was the object of
the second part ot the sermon, which started
off thus:
"My breathren, there'll be great meracles,
great meracles in heaven. And the first
ineraelc will be that uiariy you expect to
find there you won't see there. The people
that go round with long faces, makin' loug
prayers, won t be there, and the seckood
meraele will b j , that many you don't expect
to find there—as perhaps some won't expect
to find our dear departed brother Rann—
you'li see there; and the l.vst aqd greatest
meracle will be, to find yourselves there." ,

BEDFORD INQUIRER AND CHRONICLE.
THE Mew fork Tribune,
THE TKIBIXE if now in the middle of its
fifteenth yew; Vol- XV. of its weekly issue com
menced on the Ist of September last- The Ame
rican public need not now be made acquaint
ed with its character or claims to considera
tion. With but a subordinate regard for pru
dence, policy or popularity, it has aimed to
Stand for Righteousness, lor Truth, for Hu
manity, against fortified Iniquity, i raud and
Oppression. There is not a slave-trader on this
Continent, though he may never read anything
but his bills of sale and notes-payable, who
does not know and hate THE TRIBUNE; there is
not an extensive fabricator of drugged and poi
sonous Liquors who does not consider it a very
dangerous and immoral paper, and wouder why
its publication is tolerated in a commercial, cot
ton-buying City like New-York. The Newark
Mercury once forcibly remarked that it had ne
ver known fc hard, griping, screwing, avari
cious employer who was not hostile to THE
TRIBI RE, nor oneeminently generous and kind
ly who did not like it. Promp and plain-spo
ken in its denunciations of iniquity and abu
ses of power, while claiming no exception from
human fulibilitj, it may have done temporary
injustice to individuals, but it has never been
unfaithful to Principle, nor deaf to the cries of
the wronged and suffering. In its columns the
advocates of novel and unpopular theories
i contemplating the melioration of human woes,
especially those of the voiceless and down
trodden. have eu-r found audience and hospi
tality; while it has ardently resisted, and will
persistently combat every attempt to proscribe
and degrade any class because of diversities
| of Nativity. Creed or Color.
In defiance of calumnies the most atrocious,
and of hostilities the most deadly and untiring,
THE TRIHUSE has grown steadily in public ap
preciation from the day of its origin. It
means of serving the public have been augs
merited in proportion. Instead of a single
editor with one or two assistants, its organiza
tion now comprises a numerous body of wri
ters, each fitted by special accomplishment
and exjierience for the particular line of dis
cussion to which his pen is devoted; the daily
amount of reading matter given more than
quadruples that of itsearHett issues; a staff of
valued correspondents encircles the globe,
transmitting early and intelligent narrations of
whatever in most worthy of attention; while
Politics, Legislation, Literature, Art, History
—in short whatever alfects the social well-be
ing of mankind, Polemic Theology alone ex
cepted—finds here the freest and most search
ing discussion.
Attached by profound conviction to the be
neficent policy of Industrial development and
Internal Intercommunication, whoseuiost con
spicuous champion through the last Half Cen
tury was HENRY CLAY- imbued, moreover,
with that spirit of forbearance toward onr
weaker neighbors, and toward the much wrong
ed Aborigines of this Continent, and of Peace
with All which will hallow the Dame of Whig,
T''E TRIBUNE, while surrendering no jot ot' its
independence, cooperated earnestly and ar
dently with the Whig party MI long as its vi
tality was preserved. When, in 1850-2, an
attempt was made to interpolate slave-hunting
into its creed, we sternly resisted that impo
sition; when, at the close of the last Presiden
tial canvass, it was seen thata large portion of
the Whigs preferred to defeat their own party
rather than allow its Anti-Slavery wing to
share its triumph, even under a conservative
Chief on a Pro Slavery platform, we knew and
proclaimed that the Whig party was no more.
Subsequent events, including the rise and cul
mination of the Know-Nothing conspiracy,
and the speedy absorption therein of the whole
force of Pro-Slavery Whigism, only confirm
ed our nndouhting anticipetions. "With no
sickly lamentations, therefore, for the inevita
bly bygone, but with hope, and joy, and sym
pathy, and words of cheer, have we hailed the
beginning and watched the progress of that
mighty REPUBLICAN movement which, impell
ed by the perfidious violation of the Missouri
Compact, and stimulated by the astounding
outrages whereof the rights of the Free Set
tlers of Kansas have been the victims—by the
repeated and utter vitiation of their elections
by an armed mob collected by conspiracy and
hurled suddedlv upon them from the border
counties <<f the neighboring Slave State, is
destined to sweep away the landmarks of old
party feuds, and unite the true hearts and
strong arms of the free-sonled in one mighty
effort to confine the scourge and scandal of
our country within trie limits of the States
which unwisely uphold it. To the success of
this effort the energies of THE TRIBUNE will be
sternly devoted; while the TKMPERANCK RE-
Koua, including the entire suppression of the
Traffic in Intoxicating Beverages, will find in
it, as hitherto, an earnest and unflinching
champion.
Commencing as a daily folio sheet of mode
rate size, and with scarcely a shadow of pat
ronage. THE TRIBUNE is now issued in quarto
form Daily (three distinct editious,) Semi- I
HWr/j and Weekly, on a sheet 44 by 34 inch
es, eight ample pages of six columns each.—
Its circulation has steadily grown from nothing
to the following aggregates:
Daily issues (evening and morning) 29,500 copies
Serai-Weekly, 14,175 "
Weekly, 137,750 "
California edition, 6,000 "
Total. 187,125
Wa believe no other newspaper in the world
has a subscription list over half so large as
this; and no periodical of any sort can rival it.
And while its extreme cheapness, rendering an
incroit.se of paying readers only as indirect pe
cuniary advantage to us. has doubtless largely
swelled its subscription list, it would be absur
dity not to perceive in this unprecedented pat
ronage some evidence of public approval and
: esteem.

STRATLINU, BUT
Warning to Every Sensible Woman.
Why Females Suffer in Health.
No woman of delicacy is willing to disclose
the peculiar ailments incident to her sex, even
to a most Intimate family physician.
This modesty and delicacy is implanted by
nature, and neither should nor need be subject
ed to the rude shocks inevitable in making
known to the other sex those ailments belonging
exclusively to the female.
Except in extreme cases, her sensitivencs
will sacrifice her health rather than her delicacy
The consequences are serious, lamentablh
and life-long.
Thus what at first could have been easily rem
edied, or perhaps better still, not incurred, be
comes a complication of diseases, not only ru
ining the health of the mother, and embitterin
her days by sickness and suffering, hut entailing
broken constitutions upon her children, ang
emliarrassing, if not distressing, the business and
pecuniary prospects of the husband. Let eve
ry sensible woman
TAKE \VAU\l\ft IA TIME
(as thousands have done) by the bitter experi
ence and sufferings of others, of the dreadful
conseq jences she entails upon herself and those
endeared to her, by her ignorance of the sim
plest and plainest rules of health us connected
with the marriage state, the violation of which
entails disease, suffering and misery.
How many are suffering from obstructions or
irregularities peculiar to the female system,
which undermino the health, the effects of
w-hion they are ignoianf, and for which their del
icacy forbids seeking medical advice! How
many anffer from prolapsus uteri (tailing of the
womb,) or from fluor alius (weakness, debility.
Sec.)! How many are in constant agony fori
many months preceding confinement! How ma-'
ny have difficult, if not dangerous deliveries,
and slow and uncertain recoveries!
To the question, how are these to he preven
ted ? what shall be done ? the answer is simple.
Let every woman ascertain for herself, without
violence to her delicacy, f he nature and charac
ter of the ailment (to which she as a female is
subject) the causes from which it may arise, and
the proper remidies for its cure and future pre
vention.
This she can do by possessing a little volume
(already possessed by thousands) whtch tells her
wiiat is the matter, and tells her what to do for
it, in simple but chaste words, and such as she
can understand.
This little volume is entitled
THE MJJRRIED WOMJIJY'S
PRIVATE MEDICAL COMPANION,
BY DR. A. M. MAURICE ALL
PROFESSOR OP DISEASES OF WCMEK.
One Hundredth Edition (500,000) 18mo., pp. 26fl
[ON FINE PAPER,.EXTRA BINDING, sl.]
A standard work of established reputation
found classed in the Catalogues of the great
Trade Sales in New York, Philadelphia, and
other cities, and sold by the principal l.ooksel
,ers in the United States. It was first published
u 1847. since which time
iFLVE HUNDRED THOUSAND COPIES
have been sold, of which there were upwards of
ONE HUNDHED THOUSAND SENT BY
MAIL, attesting the high estimation in which it
held as a reliable popular medical
BOOK FOR EVERY FEMALE
the author having devoted his exclusive atten
tion to the treatment of complaints peculiar to
N'emales, in respeet to which he is yearly con
sulted by thousands, both in person and bv
letter.
Here every woman can discover, by compa
ring her own symptoms with those described,
the nature, chaiacter, causes of, and the proper
remedies for, her complaints.
The wife about becoming a mother has often
need of instruction and advice of the utmost
importance to her future health, will find such
instruction and advicre, and also explain many
symptoms which otherwise would occasion anxi
ety or alarm, asall the peculiarities incident to
her situation are described.
It is of course impracticable to convey fully
the various subjects treated of, as they are of a
nature strictly intended for the married or those
contemplating marriage. The revelations con
tained in its pages have proved a blessing to
thousands, as the inunmerable letters received
by the author (which he is permitted by the wri
ters to publish) will attest.
Extract of a I.otier from a gentleman in Dayton,
Ohio :
DATTOK, May 1, 1847.
Dr. .1. M. Mauriceau;
"My wife has been perceptibly sinking for
some three years or more, in consequence of
her great anguish and suffering some months be
fore and during confinement; every successive
one more and more debilitated and prostrated
her, putting her life in imminent danger, and
which was on the last occasion despaired of. I
supposed that this state of things was inevitable,
and assigned myself to meet the worst. At this
time (now about two months) I heard your book
highly spoken of, as containing some matter
reaching my case. On its receipt and perusal.
I cannot express to you the relief it afforded my
distressed mind, and the joy its pages imparted
to my wife, on learning the great discovery of
M. M. Desomeaux provided a remedy. It open
ed sv prospectto me which I little conceived was
possible. No pecuniary consideration can ever
repay the obligations I am under to you, for
having been the means of imparting to us the
matters contained in "The Married Woman's
Private Medical Companion." But for this, ere
another year wonld have passed over my head,
in all hnman probability my wife would have
loien in hei grave and my children left mother
less." " f
In consequence of the universal popularity o
the work, as evidenced by its extraordinary
sale, various impositions have been attempted
as well on booksellers as on the public, by im
iraiions of title page, spurious editions, and sur
deptitions infringements of copyright, and otb
ervices and deceptions, it has been found neces

THE VEGETABLE EXTRACT
PILLS
FOR THE CURE OF
Fits, Spasms, (ramps, and al
Nervous and Constitutiioual dis
eases.
I>ERSONS who are laboring under this moat
distressing malady, will find the Vegetable
Epileptic Pills to be the only remedy ever dis
covered for
Curing Epilepsy or Falling Fits.
These pills possess a specific action on the ner
vous system, and, although they are prepared
especially for the purpose of curing Fits, they
will be found of especial benctit for all persons
afflicted with weak nerves, or whose nervous
system has beep prostrated or shattered from
any cause whatever. In chronic complaints, or
diseases of long standing, superinduced by ner
vousness, they are exceedingly beneficial.
Testimony in favor of Ihe Vege
table Extract Epileptic Pills.
In the publication of the following certificats'
of cures, the names hav# been suppressed, as
the testimonials were voluntarily offered, and at
would be improper to publish them without the
consent of the parties, and who would be un
willing to publish to the world that they or
their children or friends, ever had fits, when
the circumstance is always regarded as one of
the family secrets.

Dear Sir—The Pills my brother bought of

you five dollars, for which I wish you to send
me immediately two boxes more. I have bean
troubled many years with FITS, and have tried
the skill of many physicians, hut nothing which
I have taken appears to have met the require
ments of my case, so well as vour Epileptic
Pills.

Dear Sir—Having been afflicted for some
years past with Faliißg Fits, I saw your adver
tisement, and determined to give your pills a
trial, and I am happy to say that since 1 com
menced the use of them, I have not had an at
tack. I believe them to be a first rate article,
for, as 1 have writteu to yu in a former letter i
I was attacked every two weeks, but since 1
have been using them I have not had an attack.
Yours, respectfully,
LETTER FROM A DRUGGIST.
New York, Oct. 10, 1852.
Dear Sir— Please send me two boxes more o'
your Vegetable Epileptic Pills. The person for
whom 1 procured them, is much pleased with
their effects. They seem to have an excellent
effect.
A PERFECT CUKE OF EPILEPSY.
Pittsburg, November 22, 1853.
Dear Sir—lt is now ten months since my wife
hud any of those nervous attacks. She thinks
she is cured. She has not had any symptoms ot
the disease for the last nine months. She took
your Vegetable Extract Pills for about four
months, and discontinued them jour months
since. Mrs. S. was treated by the best old
school physicians in the State for ten years,then
by the best Homoepathic for eighteen months,
without acure. It is to your Vegetable Ex
tract Pills, and with strict regard to diet, that
we ascribe her enre of the most dreadful dis
ease that pvei afflicted the human family. I wish
every persou afflicten with Epilepsy had this
medicine, aud would give it a thorough trial.—
it may not cure in all cases, but iu this it has
performed wonders.
A VERY REMARKABLE CURE.
Milledgeville, Ga.
December 17; 1852. J
Dear Sir—l wish to inform yon that ona o
my family has been afflicted with FITS tor a
number of years, and seeing an advertisement
in a news paper, concerning your Vegetable Ex
tract Epileptic Pills, I came to the conclusion,
after trying almost-very physician in my reach!
and all having failed in relieving my "child of
the disease, to send for six boxes of your pills,
which proved an effectual cure for my daughter,
who is now about 18 years of age. 1 think j
there is no other medicine in use equal to them, j
and I will be forever grateful to you for the use i
of them for my daughter whom it has cured.
Yours, respectfully.
Nervous and Constitutional Disea
ses.
These pills possess a specific actior on the
nerveus system, and although they are prepa
red especially for the purpose of curing Fits
they will be found of especial benefit to all per
son afflicted with weak nerves, or whose ner
vous system has been prostrated or shattered
from any cause whatever; in fact it is almost
impossible to convey an adequate idea of the
peedy and almost miraculous results which
these pills effect in the diseased, broken down
tr -.arostrated nervous systems. Persons who
were all lassitude, weaknesss and debility, be
fore their use, at once become robust and full ol
energy. Xo matter whether the constitution
has been broken down by excess, weak by na
ture, or debilitated by sickness, the:r effect on
the unstrung and shattered uervous organiza
tion is equally certain and apparent. In cases
of neuralgia, headache, vertigo, pain in the
nerves of the face, and the various train of ner
vous affections, palpitation of the heart, period
ical headaches, cold and shivered state of the
frame, frequent fits of abstraction, total inabili
ty, dislike to society, melancholy, religious mo
nomania, heats and flushes of the face of! the
slightest occasion, a desire that existence should
terminate; they will produce a cure in an aston
ishingly short period of time, and it will also
remove depression, excitement, a tendency to
blush, restlessness, sleeplessness,incapacity for
study or business, loss of memory, confusion,
giddiness, blood to the head, mental debility,
hysteria, indecision, wretchedness, thoughts of
self destruction, fear of insanity, &c.,"&c.
They will increase and restore the appetite
strengthen the emaciated, renew the health of
those wbo have destroyed it by exc. sses, and
induce continual cheerfulness and equanimity
of spirits, and prolong life.
Persons of pale complexion and cosnumptive
habits are restored by a bos or two, to bloom
and vigor, changing tlie skin from a pale,(ye!low
sickly color, to a beautiful florid coraph xion.
r
C?"As these Pills arec. mposed of s jme o
the most expensive mate dais in the listeria
Medica, it will be impossible to leave them
around the country on agency* as common Pat
ent Medicines usually are. But in ordeT to let
the afflicted in the most remote parts of the
country have a chance to obtain them, they
will be sent by mail free of postage, to any part
of the United States, or any conntry with which
the United States has postal arrangements, or
the receipt of a remittance.

PIUS NONSENSE.
The following is the rediculous conclusion
of a recent "circular letter" put forth by
'this Reverence, the Bishop cf Newark "
"We appoint the month of December
the time during which thoTriduuin granted
granted by our Holy Father Pope pius IX
by his rescription of the 21st of January
1855, sLall be celebrated in this diocese.—
We allow the several pastors to choose,
at their discretion, any three successive
days doting that month, for their respective
congregations—arranging the time with the
neighboring clergy, in order they mav
assist one another in hearing confession*
and giving the necessary instructions
To all who assist devotedly at the relij;.
iou exercises on any of these tbr-e day ,
the Holy Father grants a partial indulgence
of seven years; and a {denary indulgence t
those who attend during the entire Triduum
confess their sins with humility and contr.-
tion, receive the Holy Communion, and,
the last of the three days, offer pr.vrers to
God, according to the intention of Lis hoh
ncss. These indigencies may be applied,
byway of suffrage, to the 3ouls in Purga
tory.
His Holiness has also granted, that od
each of three days, one mass of the Im
maculate Conception of the Virgin Marr
may be celebrated, with or w ithout singing.
We also give permission for the benediction
of the Messed sacrament on those days
Given at our residence at Newirlc. this
Bth day of November, A. D. 1855, being
the octave of the feast of all Saints.
f JAMES, Bisliop of Newark.
By order of the lit. Rev. Bishop,
Victor Beaudevin. Secretary."
The credit of these" exorcises" to be ap
plied to helping along the souls in Purga
-1 tory! In other words, says the New York
Mirror, obey the priesthood—do just'is the
Holy Humbug commands, and HE will as
sume the prerogative of God, and grant to*
sinner all sorts of "indulgences'' here and
absolute absolution hereafter. If this fool's
logic is not blasphemous nonsense, we don't
know how else to characterize it. It is pa—
sing strange that any HONEST mind can he
deluded by such religious Peler-Funk
istn.
A POINTED INQIIRT. —'Couldn't pu
get young pork, ma'am, to bake with your
beans'' said old Roger, somewhat cynically,
as he sat at the table, on Sunday.
'They told me it was young,' said the
landlady.
'Well, it may be so, but gray hair is nt
a juvenile feature, by any means, in our lat
itude, ma'am,' continued he, fishing up a
hair about a foot and a half long, with his
fork. 'He may have been young, hut he
must have lived a very wicked life to be gr;
so soon.'
As he spoke, he looked along the table
and a slight emotion was visible among tbr
boarders, and the mau who sat oposite, wiio
his mouth full of the edibles, with which i.<•
had been endeavoring to smother a laugh,
grew dark with the effort, and then collap
sed, scattering dismay and crumbs ainid
the nicely platted folds of old Rogers' shut
frills .
