deeoriptioo ot the Coai w-ene:
Winter had r* eet in. with occasional wind,
and rain, and trnet, vet Washington (till Kept up
his active round of indoor and outdoor avocation*,
ae his diary record*. He we* in full health and
vigor, dined ons nccaeionaiiy, a rat had freonrnt
guectj at Mount V croon. and, ae usual war part of
every day iu the aaddle, going the round* of his
ceta'ee, and, in h:s military phraseology, ‘‘visiting
the outpoets. ’
He nad recently waited with his favorite nephew
about the grounds, ehowing the improvements he
intended to make, and had especially pointed ont
the spot where hes purposed bnilding> Dew family
vault, the old One being damaged by the roots of
tree* which had overgrown it aid caused It to leak
“Thi* change, ” said be, “I shall make the first of
all, for I may require it before the rest.”
“When I pan,id from him,” added the nephew,
“he stood on the steps ot the front door, where he
took leave of tuyself and another. It was a bright
troety morning, be had taken hie usual ride, and
the clear health;, flueh on his check, and his spright
ly manner, brought the remark trora both of us that
we have never seen the general look to well. I
have sometimes thought him decidedly the hand
loinesl man I ever saw, and wLen in a lively mcod,
so 101 l of pleasantry, so agreeable to all with whom
be associated, that I could hardly realize he was
the same Washington whose dignity awed alt
wno approached him. ‘
For some time past Washington had been occu
pied in digesting a complete system oa which his
estate was to be managed for several succeeding
yearsa, specifying the cultivation of the several
arms, with tables designating the rotation of crops.
it occupied thirty folio pages, and was eiecuted
with that clearness and met hod which characterized
all bis business papers. Tills was finished on the
10th of December, and was accompanied by a let
ter of that date to his manager or steward. It is a
valuable document, showing the e'emdiiese and
vigor of his intellect at this advanced stage of his
existence, aud the love of order that reigned
throughout bis affaire. “My greatest anxiety, ‘ said
be on a previous occasion, *• to have ail these
concerns in such a clear and distinct form that no
reproach may attach itself to am when I have taken
niy departure for the land of spirits “
It was evident, however, that (full of health and
vigor, be looked to his long cherished
hope, the enjoyment of a serene old age in line home
ot his heart.
According to bis diary , the morning on which
these voluminous instructions to his steward were
dated was clear and calm, hut the afternoon was
lowering. The next day—llth—he notes there
was wind and rain, and “at night a large circle
round the moon “
Tne morning of the 12th was overcast. That
morning he wrote a letter to Hamilton, heart.ly
approving of a plan for a millitary academy, which
the latter bad submitted !o tbe Secretary of War.
Aboal lb o'clock, he montced bis horse aub rode
out as usual to make the rounds of the estate. The
i miaous ring roukd tbe moon, which he had observ
ed on the preceding uighf, proved a fatal portent
“About 1 o clock,” he notes, “it began to snow,
soon after to hail, and then turned to a settled cold
rain.” Having on an overcoat, he continued his
ride without regarding tbe weather, and did not
return to his house till after three.
His secretary approached him with letters to
he franktd, that they might be taken to the per I
- in the eveemg. Washington franked the
letters, but observed that the weather was too bad
to send a servant nut with them. Mr. Dear per
ceived that snow was hanging from bis hair, and
expressed bis (ears that be had got wet; but be re
plied, “So, h.s great coat had kept him dry.”
As dinner had been waiting for him, Le sat down
to the table without changing his dress. “ 111 the
evening,’’ wiites his seeietary, “he appeared as
well as usual.”
On the following morning tbe snow was three
inches deep aud anil falling, which prevented him
from taking his usual ride. He complained of a
sore threat, aud had evidently taken cold the day
before. In the afternoon the weather cleared up,
and he went out on the grounds between the house
and the river, to maik some trees which were to be
cut down. A hoarseness which had hung about
him through the day grew worse toward night,
but he made light of it.
He was very cheerful in the evening, as be eat
in the parlor with Mrs. Washington and Mr. Dear,
amusing bimselt with tbe paper* which had been
brought Iroin the postoilice. When he met with
auylliiDg interesting or entertaining, he would
read it aloud ns well as his hoarseness would permit,
or he listened and made occasional comments
while Mr. Dear read the debates of the Virginia
Assembly.
On retiring to bed, Mr. Dear suggested that he
should take something to relieve bis cold. “No,”
replied be, “ you know 1 never lake anything lor
a cold 1s titgoas it came. ’
lu the night lie was extremely ill with ague and
difficulty of breathing, itetween two and three
o’clock m tbe morning he awoke Mis Washington,
who would have risen to call a servant, but he would
not permit her, lest she should take cold. At day
break, when the servant woman entered to make a
tire, she was sent to call Mr. Lear. He found tbe
General breathing with difficulty, and hardly able
to utter u word intelligibly. Washington desired
that Dr. Craik, who lived m Alexandria, should be
sent for, and that iu the meantime Kawlins, one of
the overseers, should be summoned, to bleed him
before the doctor could arrive.
A gurgle was prepared for his throat, hut when
ever be attempted to swallow any of it, ho was
couvulsed and almost suffocated. Rawlins made
his appearance soon after sunrise, but when the
General's arm was ready for the operaiion, become
agallaled. “Don’t be afraid,” said the General, as
well as be could speak. Kawlins made an incision.
“The orifice is not large enough,” said W’aabingtou.
Tbe b'ood, however, ran pretty ireelv, ana .Mrs.
Washington, uncertain whether the treatment was
proper, and tearlul that too much blood might be
taken, begged Mr. Dear lo stop it. When he was
about to untie the string the General put up his
bend to prevent bim, and as soon as be could speak
murmered, “more, more,” but Mis. Washington's
doubt* prevailed, and tbe bleeding was stopped, al
ter about hall a pint of blood had been taken.—
Kxteinat applications were now made to the throat,
and bis feet were bathed m warm water, but with
out adopting any relief.
His old fneud, Dr. Craik, arrived between eight
and nine, and two oilier physicians, Drs. Dick aud
itrowu. were called iu. Various remedies were
tried, and additional bleeding, but all of no avail
‘About half past four o'clock,” writes Mr.
“he desired me to call Mrs. Washington to his bed
side, when lie reqested her to go down into his room
and lake from his desk two wills which she did.
Upon looking at them, he gave her one, which he
observed was useless, as being superceded by the
other, aud desired her to burn it, which she did, aud
took the other aud put it into her closet.
“Alter Ibis was done, I returned to his bedside
and took his hand, 110 said to me ‘I Gnu Jam go
ing . uiy breath cannot last long. I believed irom
tbe first that the disorder would prove lata]. Do
you arrange all my military letters and papers.
Arrange iny accounts and settle my books, as you
know more about them than any oue else; and let
Mr. Uawliuslittish recording my other letters which
he has began.’ I told bun this would be done. He
then ashed me if 1 recollected anything which It was
essential for bim to do, as he had a very short time
to oontiuue with us. 1 told him that I could recol
lect nothing, but that I hoped fie was not so near
his end. lie observed, smiling, that he ceitainly
was. aud that as it was the debt which we must
all pay, he looked to the eveutwith perfect lesigna
lioir.*
In the course of the alternoon he appeared to be
in great pain aud distress from the difficulty of
brecthing, and Ireqnenlly changed his posture in
the bed. Mr. Dear endeavored to raise him and
turn him with us much ease as possible. “I am
afraid 1 latigue you too much,” the General would
say. Upon being assured to the contrary, “Well,”
observed he, gratefully, “it is a debt we must pay
to each other, and I hope when you want aid of
this kind you will find it.”
Ufa Christopher, bad been in the room
during the day, and almost tbe whole time on his
ieel. The General noticed it iu the afternoon, and
kindly told him to sit donu.
About .’> o'clock his old friend, Dr. Craik, came
again into the loom, and approached the bedside.
“IHwtor,” said the General, “I die hard, but I am
not afraid to go. I believed, from my drat attack,
that 1 she tild not survive it—my brea-.h can not last
long:” The doctor pressed bis baud in silence, re
tired from the bedside, aud sat by the tire absorbed
in grief.
Between 5 aud o the other physicians came in,
and he was assisted to sit up in his bed. “I feel I
am goiug,” said he. “1 tbank you tor your atten
tions. but 1 pray you to take no more trouble about
melet me go off quietly , 1 cannot last long.”
He lay down again. all retired except Dr. Craik
The General continued uneasy and restless, but
without oomplainiug, frequently askiug what hour
it was
Further remedies were tried without avail in
the eveuing. Ue took whatever was offered him,
did ae he was desired by the physicians, and
never uttered a sigh or oomplaiut.
“About teny'clock,” write* Mr. Dear. “ he made
several attempts to speak to me before he could ef
fect it. At length lie said, ‘1 ata just goiug. Have
tne decently buried, aud do uot let my body be put
into tbe vault in less than three days after I am
dead ’ l bowed assent, for I could uot speak.
He then looked at me again and said. ‘Do you un
derstand me?’ I replied, • Yes.’ ‘ fie well,’ said
he.
“About ten minutes before he expired (which
was between ten and eleven o'clock, on tbe night
of December 14, 17 22 ,) bis breathing became
easier. He lav quietly . be withdrew his band from
miue and telt hi* own puise I saw his countenance

He came to the bedside. The General’s hand fell
trom his wrist I took it in mine and pressed it to
iny bosom. Dr. Craik put his liana over his eye*,
and he expired without a struggle or a sigh.
“While we were fixed iu silent grief, Mrs. Wash
ington, who was seated at the foot of the bed,
asked with a firm and collected voice, ‘ls he gone ’
I could no! speak, but held my hand as a signal
that be was uo more. Tis well, said she, iu the

The Wrong .Mas.

appearance there wae nothing striking, except hia
email stature, dali grey eyes, and extremely verdant
manner, arrived io ibis city, slopped at one of the
hotels, and seemed aox ous U) get off upon one of
tbe op river boats. He frequently expressed fear
lest tbe afternoon boat should leave him. A cab
man lounging about the bote offered to take him
and hie truck to the wba r f. aod if be was too late
b+ would bring him back for nothing; but it he took
him there in lime for the boat he would expect a

not knowing that he had at least two hours and a
half to spar", when another cabman stepped up and
offered U pur Hoi aboard the loat with his bag
gage for $i This was a dollar saved, and the
anxious .“’ranger agreed to it. The trunk was put
in tbe vehicle, and the stranger got in writ*, it. In
less than five minutes they were upon the wharf.

“Y-ee. Now, look here, old feller—you don’t
think 1 m going to drive my horses to death, for
nothin', do you ? Couldn't think of takin’ lees than
four dollars for that ’ere drive, and you might as
well fork over, old man.’’
Tbe old gentleman, apparently not the least an
gry, fastened b dull, gr-y eye upon Jebu, and
calmly replied:
“ I agreed to pay yon ODe dollar if you would
bring me and my trunk to the boat before it left;
and there's your money. If I had promised you a
hundred dollars, I would have given it to you, for
lam able to pay it. Hat a bargain is a bargain,

‘ Give me the four dollars, or I takes the trunk
back to the hotel,” was the cabman's rejoinder.

then turned to the eomewhat astonished cabman
and giving the knife two or three admonitory
shakes, after the manner of a schoolmater warning
a refractory pupil, he said :
“I’m an old man, and perhaps I’m green, as I
came from Arkansaw ; but I guess I shan't letyou

Jehu rather f bought those eyes meant fight, and
not liking tbe idea of losing both ears, he took that
trunk out in a hurry. He refused, however, to
take the dollar which Arkansaw bad thrown down,
and a couple of policemen were about arresting
him for extortion, when the old gentleman reques

Forcible Rescue of a Slave. —A lawless pro
ceeding took place at the dock on the arrival of the
North btar from Lake Superior, yesterday afternoon,
resulting in tbe forcible abduction, by a lot of ne
groes, of a young muiatto girl, who. in company with
her sister, was travelling with their mistress, a
Southern lady. Tbe fact of their presence wae first
made known by eome negroes on the board the
boat at tbe moment of her arrival at the dock, and,
in a short time, a gang of twenty or thirty had col
lected , who rushed on board the boat ana took pos
ses. ion of tbe cabin, where the girls were sitting in
company with their mistress for protection. The
girls, who are aged thirteen and seventeen, refused
to go with the intruders, and appealed to their mis
tress for protection. She told them they were at
liberty to go if they chose, and inquired of the ne
groes if they had any means of securing them a .sup
port. Os course no satisfactory answer could be
given to this, but the girls were informed that they
must go. They refused, and the eldest ran into a
state room and locked herself in. The other at
tempted to follow, but was caught and dragged
dowu stairs aud fairly pushed off the boat, followed
by tbe whole gang. The ferry boat Undine ley
close along-eide, and tbe crowd rushed on board of
her, the captain immediately caeting off and running
across the river. They took her to Windsor, on the
opposite side of the river, and stowed her away in
some negro hut., where she now remaius. In the
meantime, a messenger was dispatched for an of
ficial of some sort to arrest the lady. By a recent
act of the Michigan Legislature, any person bringing
& slave within the limits of the State commits a
criminal oflece, punishable by ten years, imprison
uient in State Prison. The lady was consequently
liable. Fortunately for her, the boat left the dock
before any such advantage could be taken of her
helpless position, and proceeded on her way to
Cleveland. The lady is a resident of Winchester,
Ky., near Louisville, and gave her name as Mrs.
Moore. Bhe has been spending the .Summer at

The French Camp at Florence.— lt is under
stood that the French camp here will be broken up
before long. Regiments are leaving aud others
continue to arrive. The French soldiers appear to
be happy and content, and so far very well satisfied
with this part of Italy. They are much more lively
than the Italians. Towards evening the camp is a
picturesque and interesting sight. Dances are
improvised, and a variety of games are played.
The soldiers sing and smoke, and drink w ith a relish
the red wine of the country, inferior to that of their
own France. Going over the field one sees, not
unfrequently, common soldiers sitting in the open
ings oi their tents reading French journals which
have been lent them by the officers, or sent lo them
by friends at home. The Italians ask the soldiers
the same question which they put first to all stran
gers, knowing well enough beforehand wbat the
reply will be—“ How do you like Italy V* It is said
that the French soldiers express their admiration of
the beauties of the country with so much warmth,
that it immediately sets the natives thinking whether
they may not naturally wiaL to prolong their stay.
From the camp, the prospect is one of the moßt
beautiful that is presented even iu this region of un
commonly beautiful views. On one hand, only a
few miles diatauf, is a long range of low mountains,
their bases dotted with villas, and their summits
swelling into the sky, until the soft tints of green
and gray of the one blend in agreeable harmony
with the deep and mellow blue of the other. Op
posite the mountains are the cool green groves of
the Cascine, and over the trees, at a little distance,
are seen the picturesque old towers of Florence. —
In the evening the great number of littlo tires kin
died for the very uuromantic purpose of making
the pot boil, help to increase the interest of the
scene. The thin blue smoke floats slowly away, or
hangs like a v*yt over the lield. On the whole, the
soldiers in this camp are very comfortably placed
The French soldiers teem determined to be happy
in spite of the many drawbacks connected witli
the slavish life which all soldiers must lead. Poor
iellows, they have all our rympathy. They are
generous and brave. They love their country, and
only too much mere military glory. They eerve
faithiully the masters lind they over them. They
fight and fall like heroes, and cur admiration is won
for their noble ami unselfish sacrifice, although at
first they might have preferred to be left to culti
vate their peaceful fields in their much-loved
France, rather than moisten with their blood the
laud of strangers. Aud then, how many mothers
and sisters and brothers are left behind to weep
and wait without hope cf seeing them again.— Cor.

Fearful of Fheedom.—A newly married lady
on her way to Ltxington, Ky., from St. Louie, stop
ped at tbe Burnet House a tew days since, witli her
husband and her servant, a slave, who bad lived
with her for many years. The negrees had heard a
great many stones about “Abolitionists” carrying
off slaves from tbeir owners, and was so dreadfully
alarmed lest someone would steal her, that she
would cot venture out of her mistress’ apart ments.
Nothing would induce her to go into the halls, but
she remained pale aud trembling in her own rcoin,
fearful even of looking out of the window, iler
mistress, having to fulfil an engagement iu the city
with a friend, went out early in the morning, leav
ing orders with one of the clerks that the girl’s
meals should lie sent, to the looms.
The lady did not return until the following morn
ing, when she learned that no one in the hotel had
been able to get into the apartments, the girl lock
ing the doors aud piling the furniture against them
to keep every body out. It was not until she recog
nized her mistret .T voice that she would turn the
key, 60 convinced wae she that someone would
steal her from “miaeus.” She was pale and hag
gard with anxiety and dread, and had she remained
in this city a week or two, would have fallen ill and
perhaps have died, so great and irrational was her
alarm lest she would be forced to be free.— Cm.

A Maine Vessel Chartered for a Slaver
We learn from Henderson &. Co.’s Express that the
brig Sampum. Capt. Emery, of South Thomaston,
Me. f arrived at Uocklaud on the 20:h ultimo, from
the co&jL of Atrica, and reported that she was
chartered at Havana by two Spaniards to proceed
to New York, and from there to the cdHst of Afri
ca. Alter being out about two months, Capt.
Emery, from movements of the Spaui&ids, aud re
ports from some of the crew, that their cheats con
tained handcuffs and firearms, had his suspicions
aroused that the Spaniards’ object was to procure
a cargo of negroes. Shortly alter arriving on tbe
coast, an English frigate came in, and the*S3an
iards lett the brig at the earliest possible moment.
Capt. Emery immediately made kuown the facta
to the frigate, and lay by her until after dark, when
he got uuder way w itb but three men on board,
aud arrived at Rockland as before sta'ed.
The simplicity of Capt Emery, taking this state
ment to be true, is quite refreshing. Why he went
to the coast of Atrica, when he was chartered to
proceed to New Y’ork, requires some explanation
to add a color of plaueibility to the story.— Post on

Bread <y Weight.— The bakers and the public
of Philadelphia are still discussing warmly the sub
ject of selling bread by weight. A Philadelphia
paper remarks that all that is required in this mat
ter for public protection, is to say that bread shall
be weighed when *:>ld, without regard to the price
of the loaf. There is no difficulty in making a ioaf
of bread weigh a certain amount, and is not neces
sary that tne loaf should have precise definite
weight. All that is needed is for the baker to put
it into a pair ot fe.'-ales when he is about to sell it,
and show the purcha*fi*hi>w many ounces it weighs
All the purchaser wishes to know is how much
bread he is? getting. He will take care very soon
to see that the price is properly adjusted to the
weight and quantity he receives. Now, there is no
hardship in mis, uo necessity of multiplying laws
upon the subfact Kvery baker could, if he were
so disposed, make tho law for himself, by inv&ria
bly putting the bread into scales, and announcing
to customers the precise weigh 1 , and then charging
accordingly.

states that in i mining his lines across the mountains,
between Mm&titl&n and Tehuantepec, he came

their lives, who spoke no language known to his
party, and were absolute “free lovers,” living all
together, and twenty or thirty meu ana women
sleeping in one bed and acknowledging a commu

peal ar.ee. and prices would sometimes fine:cate, aud the
transaction* show a alight preponderance ia favor of the
buyer, which was particularly the case in the middling
and lower grade); a slight increase in the demand, i ow
erer, perhaps the very next day. would again strengthen
the market. The receipts since our last comprise some
2151 hales, ani the sales in tbe am timaitfiTJ bates
We quote Low to Strict Middling KM alii; Good Mid
dling 11; a 11 . and Middling Fair 12 cents.
H —Tte demand has just about absorbed the re
ceipts, which comprise 2045 tierces. The balk of the
tr&n*actioiu were made at prices within the margin of
$3 as4 per hundred.
Cbr-i. —The comparatively large and accumulating
stock has tad rather a depressing influence over the
market, and tbe few transactions made have established
a slight reduction on tbe operaiiocs oi tbe previous week
Flour —The Flour market continues to be very much
neglettod. tSuperiine ffii a fej for barrels, and
for .sacks.
Wheat— This article does not arrive in sufficient quan
tity to attract attention, and we bare no sales io re
port.
Baron —Tbe market presents no new feature this
week
bad— This article has attracted very little attention,
and prices may be quoted nominally at 75 & 80c per sack.
Grocerit*— We have to report a very quiet maikct for
all descriptions of Gioceries. Tbe transactions in Su
gars o far as we have been able to learn, have been
confined to about 4 JLhds. of Louisiana, quality repre
sented as prime, at prices ranging from 7'i to Bc. The
stock of Sugars in first hands will retch in the neigh

New Orleans Molasses, of recent imp* nation, have been
selling at 41 and 454 c. The sales of Cotfee have been
confined to 2GG bag Rio description at 12c.

if we except the transactions in Sterling Bills, which
show a reduction of about ic.

Liverpool at 5 16d for squire bags, and one for Havre at

Apart from the war there would be a good business, for
money is in abundance and provisions aie cheap, but
confidence in the future is wanting; peace is not yet in
early prospect, for neither of the belligerents are .suffi
ciently exhausted to give up the prize for which they
contend, and the progress of the war may easily lead to
further complications. The new Ministry has also yet
to be tried. Business continues thus to be restricted to
the exigencias of the moment. There ia & better feeling
here, which would soon show itse fin enlarged transac
tions, if we were at all aided by the Continent.
Cotton The market opened with a fair demand, and
it improved in the course of the week with the improve
ment in Manchester, which induced the trade to purchase
more freely. Speculators as well as exporters operated
also to a little extent. This has given a tone to the mar
ket for the curreat qua'ities of American Cotton, and
raided the price* ;d 1? tb, but infer or and dusty descrip
tions are as difficult to quit as before. We quote Mid
d'ing Orleans 7d , Uplands bid. Brazils and Egyptians
are more inquired after at full prices. A good business
has been done in >urat at l-16d. ■#>’ lb advance. Ex
porters have taken 6,340 bales, speculators 4,880 bales,
and the trade 54,490 bales. The import has been rather
large this week. We have a fair demand to-day; sales
8,000 bales.
Manchester —Our market has much improved in
tone, the manufacturers being mostly under contract,
stand out for vfery full prices. Yarns are in good demand,
aud there is a beginniLg of more inquiry from the Conti
nent
Breadstuff*. —The weather continues to be favorable
for the growing cr®ps, particularly for that of Wheat,
and all the country markets are giving way in price
There was hardly aay attendance at Tuesday’s market
Wheat, Flour and Indian Corn were all lower, and much
pressed for sale at irregular prices. There was a better
feeling throughout the trade at to-day's market. For
Wheat there was a fair consumptive demand as well as
several speculative purchases, and prices maybe consid
ered 2d. per cental dearer. Flour firmer but without
change in price. Indian Corn very dull and pressed for
salu ; white maintains its value from scarcity.

PATENT MEDICINES
XHE liver
IMVIGORATOR
PKEPAI’.ED BY DK. SANFORD.
Compounded entirely from Gums,
IS one of the best purgatives and Liver Medicines now
betore the public, that acts as a Oathrrtic, easier,
milder, and more effectual than any other roediciCft?
known It is uot on y a Cathartic, bu: a Liver remedy,
acting first on the Liver to • ject its morbid matter, then
on the stomach bowels to carry off that matter, thus
accomplishing two purposes effectually, without any of
the painfal feelings experienced in the operations of
most Cathartics. It strengthens the syfftem at the same
time that it purges it; and when taken daily in moder
ate doses, will strengthen and build it up with unusual
*apidity.
The LIVER is cf tbe the
human body: and when it \ performs its functions well
tLe powers of the system are fully developed. The
stomach is almost entirely dependent on the healthy
action of the Liver for the W proper performance of its
tum-iions when the stem U) 1S fauit, the bowels
are at fault, and the whole system safferl in conse
quence of one organ—the jLive;—having ceased to
do it3 duty. For the diseas es of that organ, one of the
proprietors has made it ‘ hissludy, in a practice of
more than twenty years, to find some remedy where
with to counteract the many derangements to
which it is liable.
To prsve that this re medy is at last found, any
persons troubled with Liv er complaint in any
of its formSfha-i but to try a bolt e and conviction is
certain.
These Gums remove all morbid or bad matter from
the system, supp’ying in their place a healthy flow
of bile, invigeratiug the stomach, causing food to
digest well, purifying she blood, giving tone and
health to the whole ma / k chinery, removing the
cause of the disease—efrH feeling a radical cure.
One dose after eating is sufficient to relieve the
stomach and prev- nt the food from rising and sour
ing.
Only one dose taken before retiring prevents
nightmare.
Only one dose taken at rj night loosens the bowels
gently, and cures
Onedosetakenaitereach i meal will cure Dyspepsia.
“One dose of two tea sp onfuls will always re
lieve Sick Headache. j
One bottle taken for fe male obstruction removes
the cause of the disease, and makes a perfect cure.
Only t ne dose immediately relievesCho ic,white
One do*e often repeated is a sure cur® fi Chol
era Morbus, and a pre rs) ventive of Cholera.
One dose taken often will prevent the rccurenee
of Bilious Attacks while h*. it relieves all painful feel
ings. lJ
one bottle is’ J needed to throw or tof the
system ihe’effects of medi cine after a long sickness.
One bottle taken for P*lJaun dice removes all
yellowness or unnaturalcolor from the skin.
One dose taken a snort time before eating gives
vigor to the appetite and ri_ makes food and gest well.
One dose often repeated fiJ cures Chronic Diari ha*
in its worst forms, while i__ Summer and bowal com
plaints yield almost to the first dose
One or two doses cures rH attacks caused by w®rms,
while for worms in child ren. there is no suier, saf
er or speedier remedy in the world, as it net er tails.
gta few bottles cures r ~ Dropsy, by exciting the
absorbents. (JJ
We fake pleasure in recommending this medicine as a
preventative for Fever and Ague, Cfcill Fever, and all
Fevers of a Bilious Type. It operates with ctrtaiuty,
and thousands are willing to testify to its wvnderful
virtue?.
All who use it are giving their unanimous testimony
in its favor.
in tbe mouth with the Invigorator,
and swallow both together.
THE LIVER IVI 40RATOR is a scientific Medical
discovery, and is daily working cures, almost too great
to believe. It cures as if by magic, even tbe first dose
giving relief, and seldom more than one bottle is re
quired to cure any kind of Liver Complaint, from the
worst Jaundice or Dyspepsia to a common Headache, all
of which are the result of a diseased Liver.

a The following memorandum is interesting *
Subject—A girl of 15 or 16 yeari of age, the attend
a'og physician had failed to cure An anxious father had
consulted me, aud from my knowledge of your prepara
tion, I was constrained to prescribe it. After takiug six
bottles she was considered well. She was cured of a
deep seated ulcer and a constant drain of milky matter
from one or more sores under the ear. The entire lym
phatic system was deeply involved. This case alone is
well worth the attention of all —but when added to a
long catalogue of cases of great obstinacy, cured by no
Panacea, nor Nostrum, nor Patent Medicine, no .Secret,
but an invaluable preparation of Sarsaparilla, lodide of
Potassa, &.C., well gotton up by the chemist, and made
familiar to the intelligent physician, it very justly de

ab*utthe “ Williams’ Sarsaparilla and lodide of Potas
sa,'’ which I purchased of you, I have no hesitation in
affirming that it acted magically. My sister was afflict
ed with a cutaneous eruption, which enveloped the head
and a large surface of the body, and which resisted all
medieal treatment; I think that one bottle effected a
permanent cure, though I continued the treatment until
two bottles had been used. It has beon eighteen months
since, aud as yet there has been no re appearance of the
disease. 1 have frequently expressed and reiterated the
opinion that it is the best preparation of Sarsaparilla in
use, and the addition of lodide of Potassa enhances its
value ten-fold. Very respectfully, yours, See.,

Honey Blade liultalian
GKIIjYSS seed.
WE beg to call the attention of Agriculturists to
this highly valuable product. Experiments in
various parts of this country, have proved its adapta
tion to the different varieties of soil aud climate, aud
fully established its claim to superiority over all other
Grasses.
We have not space to enter into details, but will pro.
sent briefly some of its advantages :
Ist. It will produce double the weight to the acre, In
any soil, than most other Grasses.
2d. The same weight possesses more nutriment, thus
in-uiriog the fanner more than double the return for bis
grounds than he can obtain from any other forage plant.
3d. Both Hay and Seed can be produced from tbe
same crop—the hay being equally as valuable as other
hay, while the Seed is as valuable as other grain lor
cattle, hogs, fowls, 4cc ,or it will sell at a fair price for
tbe inanufactnre of oil.
4tb. It matures in so short a time that it can be sown
on grounds where other crops have failed, ty drouth or
other causes, and at the same time yield a large return.
sth. Northern climates, where clover and other
grasses are sometimes killed out by hard winters, this
will yield a large crop—aud in those sections of tho
South where other grasses will not thrive at all, it will
grow very prolific. . . .
6tb. It will stand all kind of weather, and wlietDer
the season be wet or dry, the HONEY BLADE may be
relied on as a sure crop. , .
For farther part.oalars, apply to tbe undersigned, who
will take pleasure in furnishing pamphlets containing
description of grass, certificates, directions f>f cultiva
