MARIETTA. PA :
Saturday Morning, February 9, 1867.
liar The people of Osceola, says the
Bellefonte ( Pa.) Press, were consider
ably startled on Saturday last by the
finding of a human skeleton, about two
miles from that place. From appear
ance it is supposed that the body had
been there for a period of five or six
years. The bone of one leg still remain
ed in the boot, which had been gnawed
by wild animals, as the marks of their
teeth were plainly visible in the leather.
There have been various surmises as to
the identity of the body ; none of them,
however, prove satisfactory. This is the
second or third human skeleton which
has been found in that locality within
the past three years.
Sr We learn from a tabular statement
appended to the report of Auditor-Gen
eral llartranft, of this State, that $96,-
626, of the so called "Relief Notes" that
were issued by the banks of this Com
monwealth as a loan to the State in 1841,
are still unredeemed, and remain in cir
culation or are lost. There are none of
them to be seen now, and we suppose
they have been used up by natural wear
and tear, or have been otherwise destroy
ed. The original amount of these notes
issued was $2,220,266.
ti' A most shocking Bight was pre
sented in the river in front of Cairo on
the 21st ultimo. The dead body of a
man had become frozen fast in the float
ing ice, and when it bad passed Cairo,
there had gathered an immense flock of
sea gulls around the corpse,. and they
were feeding off of it and fighting over it,
Some were perched upon the body gorg
ing themselves, as they tore the frozen
flesh from the bones ; others flapped
around in the cold air, and still others
were hopping about on the floating fields
of ice, awaiting their turn at the repast.
The awful spectacle floated by with the
current of the river, and undistu:bed
passed from view.
Or Mrs. Emily Mactavish, the daugh
ter of Richard Caton, and grandaughter
of Charles Carroll, of Carrolton, one of
the signers of the Declaration of Inde
pendenca, died at her residence, No. 86
Cathedral street, Baltimore, at the ad
vanced age of 74 years. Mrs. Mactavish
was the sister of the late Marchioness of
Wellsley, of lady Stafford, and the Duch
ess of Leeds, the last named surviving
her. Her husband, the late John Mac
tavish, Esqr., was for many yearn British
Consul at Baltimore, She leaves a son,
Charles Carroll Mactavish, whOse wife
is a daughter of the late Gen. Scott.
Or Ladies may change their minds it
is universally agreed. A lady living
somewhere in New York State recently
availed herself of this privilege. She
became prejudiced against her husband
through the influence of a lover, who
furnished her the money to procure a
divorce and then married her. After
Living with her second husband awhile
she became convinced that she had been
deceived as to her first husband, and her
old love returning, she eloped from her
second husband, running away with the
first husband.
oar We learn from an exchange that
the Methodist centennary collection now
reaches nearly $4.000,000. This is one
of the greatest achievements of the past
year, and is an argument in favor of the
voluntary system of sustaining religious
worship in our country, which church
men in other lands will wonder at but
cannot answer.

ONE CENT DAMAGES.-A case has just
been tried before the Maine 'Supreme
Court in which the plaintiff, Nathaniel
W. Morse, sued to recover damages of
Martin D. Ward and thirteen other cit•
izens, for alleged personal injuries. It
appeared from the evidence that the
plaintiff was a notorious secessionist dur
ing the rebellion, and, upon bearing of
the assassination of President Lincein,
said he was glad of it—that Booth was
a brave fellow and he gloried in his
spunk, and hoped he would escape.
These statements were publicly made ;
and the defendants hearing of them,
went in a body to his house for the pur
pose of compelling him to take them
back. Morse saw them coming and at
tempted to escape to the woods, but was
overtaken, brought back and compelled
to recant what he bad said, and to take
the flag of the United States in his hand
and cheer it. For this, he brought an
action of trespass. The trial occupied
about three days, and the jury returned
a verdict of one cent, which was home_
diately paid by the deposit of one copper
cent with the clerk. The jury was com
posed of gentlemen from all parts of the
county.

jealousy on the part of the M, C.'s wife.

Medicines. To cure Consumption, the system
must be prepared so that the lungs will heal.
To accomplish this, the liver and stomach
must first be cleansed and an appetite created
for good wholesome food, which, by these
medicines, will be digested properly, and good
healthy blood made; thus building up the
constitution. Schenck's Mandrake Pills
cleanse the stomach of all bilious or mucous
accumulations; and, by using the Sea Weed
Tonic in connection, the appetite is restored.
.Schenek's Puhrionic SyrUp is nutricious as
well as medicinal, and, by_ nsing the three
remedies, all impurities are expelled from the
system, and good, wholesome blood made,.
which will repel all disease. If patients
take these medicines according to directions,.
Consumption very frequently in its last stages
yields readily to their action. Take the pills
frequently, to cleanse the liver and stomach.
It does not follow that because the bowels are
not costive they are not required, for some
times in diarrhea they are necessary. The
stomach must be kept health), and an appe
tite created to allow the Pulmomc SyruP
act on the respiratory organs properly and allay
any irritation. Theh all that is required to
perform a permanent cure is, to prevent taking
cola; exercise about the rooms as much 'as pos
sible, eat all the richest food—fat meat, game,
and, in fact, anything the appetite craves;
but be particular and masticate well. [2
