them even greater satisfaction than before. I have made arrangements with a large importing house
in New Yorlc to forward me Goods every week, so that I shall be enabled always to give rny custom

My present stock is too extensive to particularize, I will merely mention a few leading articles, viz:

of everyBha 1«and figure, 1,030 pieces Illeached and llroivu Goods, Shawls, Yisitees, Mantillas,

Cnro for Founder.
The following euro of founder is from a cor
respondent who says In* has tried it with success,
anti we have no reason to doubt what lie states,
though our readers may, perhaps, think it a little
doubtful. We give it as our correspondent’s fact.
J)nllur Newspaper.
The following remedy for a foundered horse may
he doubted by many of the readers of your valu
able paper, but it is, nevertheless, a certain cure:
First secure the horse by a.strong rope in such a
manner that he cannot injure himself, then have a
large pot or kettle of boiling water, (don’t start,)
yes, boiling water, brought, and with what we
term a swab, i. e., (a stick with a doth tied on it,)
wash the horse’s legs from his shoulder and hips
down to itis feet, changing from leg to leg until
you have used all the water, then immediately
wrap Itis legs up in woollen cloths, and if there is
a good quantity of water used, and in a proper
maimer, it will effect a cure. Some would sup
pose that it would take the hair off, but such is not
the case ; it will not start a hair.
Reader, I was an unbeliever, but having a val
uable horse foundered, and so much so that it was
with difficulty that ho could be got out of the sta
ble, I was persuaded by one of my friends to try
it, as he assorted that lie had cured one of his
horses in the manner I have described. To my
astonishment, my horse walked to the stable as
free as I ever saw him, and lias not shown any
symptoms of founder since. j.j.
Valuo of Boritshiro Swiuo.
A correspondent (rout New Jersey thus writes
ns: *• Some years since, I had a very fine stock of
Retksliire hogs, but from neglect ami other causes,
they have entirely disappeared, since which, I have
not enjoyed the luxury ut a good iiatu on my own
table; 1 am fully satisfied they have beon more
sinned against titan sinning, and am desirous of
procuring a few lor breeders, but know not where
to apply lor mionnalion except to yourselves.”
The above is just wlint we told the public over
ami over again, several years ago, would soon be
the complaint, when tin* d ‘tun ltd for this breed of
swine began to subside, and they were rejected for
some new-laiigled notion. Taking everything in
to consideration, we think the Berkshire the best
fanner’s hog ever raised in this country. A large
western pork packer, just returned from a six
months’ lour, in Great Brilainatid Ireland, informs
us that lie hits now got to commence growing a
herd ol Berkshire swine bcloru lie can have a
proper mixture of lean and fat in his pork to suit
the English market, lie also wants lean hams,
which lie can find nowhere so period as in Berk
shire pigs.—American Ag/icullnrist.
To Curo Hams.
If pcoplo will pursue the following method of
curing hams, they will have them rich, juicy, and
of excellent tlavor 1 Take quarter pound of salt
petre, two pounds line salt, one quart molasses, and
incorporate them well together; rub the mixture
on tiie hams thoroughly, then pack them in a bar
rel, or tub. and let them lay one week; take them
up and place the upper layer at the bottom, and
lay another week. .Make a pickle strong enough
to hear up an egg, and pour on until the hums arc
covered; keep them in the pickle four weeks;
take them up, and after draining, they are ready
for smoking.
J have prepared hams in this manner during
twenty-five years, and they are superior to any 1
ever tasted, never being dry or too salt.—Dollar
Newspaper.
A Certain Cure for Colds.—As the season
for colds is approaching, I give you a remedy I
have never known to fail:—three cents worth of
liquorice; three cents worth of rock candy ; three
cents worth of giun-aruble ; put them in a quart
of water, simmer them till thoroughly dissolved,
then add three cents worth of paregoric, and a
like quantity of uutimonial wine. Let it cool, and
sip whenever the cough is troublesome. It is
pleasant, infallible, cheup and good. Its cost is
tllteen cents.

A Short Fire-Side Story.
Otto evening a poor man and his son, a little
boy, sat by the wayside, near the gate of nn old
town in Germany. The father took a loaf of bread,
which ho bought in the town and broke it, and
gave the half to Itis boy. “Not so father,” said
the boy; “I shall not eat till after you. You have
been working hard all day. for small wages, to
support me; and you must be very hungry; I
almll wait till yon are done.” “Yon spenk kindly,
my son,” replied the pleased father; “Your love
to me does me more good than my food; and those
eyes of yours remind of me your dear mother who
left us, and who told you to love me us she used has
to do ; and indeed tny boy, you have been a great
strength and comfort to me, but now that I have
eaten the first morsel to please you, it is your turn
now to eat.” “Thank yon, father; but break
this piece in two, and take you a little more ; for
you see the loaf is not large, and you require
much more than I do.” “I shall divide the loaf
for you, my boy;but eat it I shall not; I have abun
dance ; and let us thank God for his great goodness
in giving us food, and giving what is beter still
cheerful and contented hearts, lie who gave us
the living bread from Heaven, to nourish our im
mortal souls, how shall he not give us all other
food which is necessary to support our mortal bod
ies !” The la titer and son thanked God, and then
began to cut the loaf in pieces, to begin together
their frugal meal. But as they rut one portion of
the loaf, there fell out several large pieces of gold,
of great value. The little boy gave a shout of joy,
ami was springing to grasp the unexpected treas
ure, when lie was pulled back by Itis father.—
“My son! tny son !” lie cried do not touch that
money it is not ours!” “ 1 know not, as yet, to
whom it belongs; but probably it was put there
by tho baker, through some mistake. We must
inquire. Bun.” “But father,” interrupted the
boy, you are poor and needy, and you have
bought the loaf, and then the baker may tell a lie,
and” “I will not listen to you my boy ; I bought the
loaf, hut did not buy the gold in it. If the baker
sold it to me in ignorance, I shall not be sojdishonest
as to take advantage of hitn. Remember him who
told us to do to others as we would have others do
to us. The baker may possibly cheat us; but that
is no reason why we should cheat him. I am
poor indeed, but that is no sin. If wo share the
poverty of Jesus, God’s own Son, oh! lot us share
also his goodness and his trust in God. We may
never he rich, but we may always be honest. We
may die of starvation; but God’s will he done,
should we die in doing it! Yes, my boy, trust
God and walk in his ways, and you shall never be
put to shame. Now run for the baker, uud bring
him here and I shall watch the gold until he
comes.” So the hoy run for the baker. “Broth
er workman said the old man, “you have made
some mistake, and almost lost your money;” and
lie showed the baker the gold, and told him how
it had been found. “Is it thine ?” asked the fa
ther “if it is take it away.” “My father, baker, is
very poor, and”'—“Silence tny child ; put me not to
shame hy thy complaints. I am ghul we have
saved this man from losing Ills money.” Tho ba
ker had been gazing alternately upon the honest
father and his eager hoy, and upon the gold which
lay glittering on the green turf. “Thou art indeed
an honest fellow,”said tho halter,“andmy neigh
bor David, (lie Max dresser, spoke but the truth
when he said thou wort the houestest man in onr
town. Now I shall tell thee about the gold ; A
stranger came to my shop three days ago, and
gave me that Inal, and mo told motosellit cheap
ly, or give it away, to the honestest poor man 1
knew in the city. I told David to send thee to me,
as a customer, tliis morning; and as thou wouidst
not take the loaf for nothing, I sold it to thee (or
the lust pence in thy purse; and the loaf with all
its treasure—and certcs it is not small!—is thine;
and god grant thee a blessing with it!” The poor
father bent his head to the ground, while the tears
fell from his eyes. His boy ran and put his hand
round bis neck, and said, “ I shall always like
you my father, trust God, and do what is right;
lor I am sure it will never put us to shame.”—Kd-

in them, as vermon do i:i straw. They arc per

will have no evasion to fill anew under bed, if
they once have their sacks filled with good, soft,

Newly Invented Cannon.—We learn from
tin* Pittsburg American that during the past week
a trial has been unde in that city of a newly in
vented cannon for tho purpose of testing its advan
tage over guns cast in the usual way. The ex
periment resulted in favor of the new gun, which
exploded only on the 255th round, while the other
with precisely the same charge uud the same
strength of reinforce, exploded on tho 85th round.
The inventor of the new piece is Lieut. Rodman,
of tin* United States Army, and his improvement

THE ESCURIAL.
The Escurial is perhaps the most celebrated
palace on the continent ol Europe. It is situated
among tho wild, sombre scenery of the old Cas
tilian mountains, about twenty-two miles from
Madrid. This enormous palace, seven hundred
and forty feet in length, by live hundred and eigh
ty feet in breadth, was reared by Philip 11. in tho
middle of tho sixteenth century, at an expense of
about fifty millions of dollars. Philip, austere,
gloomy, fanatical, selected ibis wild and gloomy
fastness as tho site of his palace, and roared the
regal mansion in the form of a gridiron, in com
memoration of the instrument of the martyrdom of
*St. Lawrence. The embellishments of more mod
ern kings, and the luxuriant foliage of trees and
shrubbery, have now invested even this uncouth
order of architecture with a kind of venerable
beauty. Four towors at tho angles represent the
legs of tho gridiron.
The Spanish description of tliis structure forms
a large quarto volume. It is stated that there are
eleven thousand doors. This may be an exagger
ation, and yet the enormouso edifice, with its cu
pola, its domes, its towers, its chapel, library,
painting gallery and college, mausoleum, cloisters,
regal saloons, apartments for domestics and arti
sans, its parks, gardens, walks and fountains, con
stitute almost a city by itself. A statute of St.
Lawrence is over the grand entrance, with a gilt
gridiron in Itis hand.
Spacious reservoirs, constructed upon the neigh
boring mountains, collect tho water, conveyed by
aqueducts, to supply ninety-two fountains. A
very beautiful road, about a mile in length, frin
ged with lolly elms and lindens, is the avenue to
this magnificent palace, and a subterranean corri
dor of equal length, arched with stone, connects the
edifice with the neighboring village.
Underneath the building is the subterranean
chamber called iho Pantheon, the burying place of
the royal family. It is a very magnificent apart
ment, circular in its form, thirty-six feet in diame
ter, its walls encrusted with the most beautiful
and highly polished marble. Hero repose the
mouldering remains of the Spanish moimrehs,
whoso bodies lie in marble tombs, one above aiul
other. A long arched stairway lined with pol
ished marble, beautifully veined, conducts to the
mausoleum, far below the surface of the earth.—
A magnificent chandelier suspended from the ceil
ing, lighted upon extraordinary occasions, sheds
noonday brilliance upon tliis grand yet gloomy
mansion of the dead. The labor of many years
was devoted to the construction of this sepulchre.
For nearly throe hundred years the domes and
towers of this monument of Spanish grandeur
and superstitution, have withstood the storms
which have swept the summer and wrecked tho
winter's sky. Many generations of kings, with
their accuiuulal**d throng of courtiers, have, like
ocean tides, ebbed and llosved through tlwse halls.
But now the Focuriul is but tho memorial of the
past, neglected and forgotten. Two hundred
monks, like the spirits of the dead ages, creep
noiselessly through its cloisters, and tho pensive
tin Italy ot their matins and vespers floats mourn
fully through lln4r desetlcd halls. Here have
boon witnessed scenes of revelry and scenes of fa
naticism—the spirit of sincere thought, misguided
piety, and the spirit of reckless and heaven-defying
crime, such as few cart lily abodes have ever ex
hibited. The fountains still throw up their beau
tiful jots, but the haughty cavaliers and the high
born maidens and dames who once thronged them
have disappeared, and the pensive friar, in sack
cloth and hempen girdle, sits in solitude upon the
moss-grown stone. The blaze of illuminations
once gleamed from those windows and corridor*,
and night was turned to day as songs and dances
resounded through hall and bower and grove.-—
Now midnight comes with midnight silence, and
solitude, and gloom ; and nought is to be seen but
here and there the glimmer of some faint taper
from the cell where some penitent monk keeps his
painful vigils. The jewelry and the flaunting
robes of fashion, and the merry peals which have
ushered in the bridal party, have passed away,
and now the convent bell but calls the world re
nouncing, joyless hearts to the hour of prayer, or
tolls the knell, as, in the shades of night, the re
mains of some departed brother arc borne, with
twinkling torches and funeral chants, to their bu
rial. And yet bow many are there, weary of the
world, with crushed hearts and dead hopes, who
would gladly find, in these dim cloisters, a refuge
from the storms of life. Here soon beneath this
marble canopy, the body of tho hapless Isabella
will moulder to the dust. May God grant that
when tho trumpet of the archangel shall awake
her from the long sleep of tho grave, she may
arise to sit on a more exalted throne, and to wear
a brighter crown than mortal mind hath ever con
ceived.—Abbott's Kings and Queens.

SHORT PATENT NOVEL.
The Sentimental Boarder.—A young man
of sentimental soul fell in love with a young lady
of no soul at all, as one mmht suppose, else would
she have acted far differently than in the manner
recorded. The young man of sentimental soul
came to this city from St. Louis, and took board at
a house on Eighth st., and at the dinner table, the
very first day, his appetite was annihilated by the
heart piercing darts of a pair of eyes as black as
the Tyrian depths of invisibility, and brighter than
a Night-watch Committee of investigation. These
double-darts, cast across that table, awoke the mu
sic of the Nine in tlmt sentimental soul, and it
took to dreamy wanderings in Tempos’ Vale, in
search of sentimental scraps for the newspapers,
dedicated to the eyes of VV . A week passed,
and he had not spoken, but with his eyes and in
sighs and the body was sustained by the inspira-
ting food of love alone. Valuable boarder.
Three young men in that boarding house, sat at
the table in close proximity to those black eyes,
and with their possessor daily indulged in familiar
chat, every syllable of which stung the man of the
sentimental soul like asps of Cleopatra, lie feign
ed to eat, but, alas! it was only a feint, for his
heart rose to his throat in rebellion against the
reception of anything but love. There was a mag
azine in his bosom and the torch of jealousy was
in a blaze. Wo to those three young men if they
come within the range of the explosion !—Danger
ous boarder!
In a fury of inward desparation, and in the dark
hours of night, lie went forth, regardless of th 1
storm that seemed to convulse all creation, and
shatter the very heavens! Congenial to his feel
ings, that dreadful night! The elemental earth
quake played in unison with the wild emotions of
his sentimental soul—and he inwardly cried, with
a laugh that echoed through the streets like the
sounds in the cold galleries of a inad-house—“let
’er rip.” On—through the dark alleys, where as
sassins prowl, uud through streets that blazed with
the blinding lightning, and rung back the voice of
the deafening thunder! On—on—through sand
heaps, and roaring gutters he pursued his way.
A lamp post appeared before him, and his disor
dered mind giving him the shapo of one ol the a-
v ired three, who stood here on purpose to wink at
him as lie p isamI, Id* erred--'“ Your time has come!”
and smashed it with a brick-bat—the bits of glass
sparkling in the lightning flash, as they danced
through the air, a shower of stars! On—on—to
the green light in the apothecary’s window, that
shown out a monster eve of jealousy, he plunged
his way, and opened the door with a crash. A
pound and a half of arsenic—a quart of laudanum,
was ids purchase there ; uud hiring of tho apoth
ecary a wheel-barrow, he went thundering on.
We will not follow him nor note the fact of his
waking up eight watchmen as he passed through
the market-house with his wheel-barrow—being a
matter exclusively “itemical,” as tho reporters
say.
The storm had ceased, and a chilling wind was
whistling through the streets, when fatigued and
unnerved in all save the bloody purpose of his
heart, he stopped with his wheel-barrow at his
boarding house door, just at tho break of day. In
addition to the drugs, he had purchased four bed
chords, two horse-pistols, a bowie-knife, and a
case ol razors—together with a pig of lead, a keg
of powder, and a wash-tub to catch the blood in!
These he lumbered into his room, and threw him
self upon the cot—wet, dripping, chilled,—boots,
but and all! His sleep was short and fitful. The
soft tone of a female voice struck upon his dreamy
senses, like the music of old in the vision of Ja
cob. He opened his eyes! It was no dream! He
clasped his hands ! It was her voice—and
“William weep no more for rae,”
was the burthen of her song. ‘Had she seen him
weep? He was revolving this thought in his
mind, when the voice of the songstress struck into
the sweet melody of
Wake, dearest, wake.”
“Heavens and earth !” ho cried, “she loves me,
and I knew it not! What a fool I have been”—
And he gazed with horror upon the implements of
death that lay strewn upon the floor Defore him.
“I’ll see her!” Determined boarder! He started
towards the door, and stopped suddenly as if struck
with palsy. “I’m a murderer! I killed Jenkins
with a brick last night!”
But love shrinks not from blood, suggested the
wash-tub. His mental agonies were dissipated
by a squeaking footstep in the entry just outside of
Ins door, and the voice of the songstress grew loud
er! “She is there! Love—love! nervo me for
the meeting! The squeaking footstep was at his
room door, and more loudly swelled the song of
“ Whitiile, and I’ll come to thee.”
He involuntarily whistled, and opened the door
with a quotation, unconsciously aloud—“He that
hath no music in his soul •!” Jenkins stood
before him, who imagining that the quotation
hud reference to a pair of new boots he had just
put on, suggested that the man with the sentimen
tal soul was getting witty, and wont on squeaking
down the stairs. After he had recovered from the
surprise incident to the discovery that his forehead
was yet unmarked by the brand of Cain, the maii
will* the sentimental soul cast his eyes along the
entry and saw—the object of his adoration. She
beckoned!—yes, beckoned!—and swift as the
wings of Cupid could carry him, he flew into the
room of the black-eyed lady, threw himself melo
dramatically at her leot, and said, “I am come 1”
“What mean you, sir?” said she, evidently

New York, Oct. 81, 1849.—Miuie by Tile-
graph.—We had the pleasure this evening of lis
tening to the transmission of meeiie by telegraph
over the wires from Boston to New York. We
happened to be in the office, 5 Hanover it, in this
city. When there was a pause in businese ope
rations, Mr. W. Porter, a young but skillfsl ope
rator in the Boston office, asked us what tune we
would have; we replied “Yankee Doodle,” and,
to our surprise, he immediately compiled with our
request. The instrument commenced dramming
the notes of the tune as perfectly and as distinctly
as a skillful drummer could have madt them at the
head of a regiment, and many will be astonished
to hear that “Yankee Doodle" ean travel by
lightning. Wo then called for “Hail Columbia,”
wnen the notes of that national air were distinct
ly beat off. We then called for “ Auld Ling
Syne,” the notes or sounds of which were also
transmitted. A friend called for - Old Dan Tuck
er,” when Mr. Porter also sent that tone, and if
anything, in a more perfect manner than the others.
So perfectly and distinctly were the ao—ds of these
tunes transmitted, that good instrumental perform
ers could have had no difficulty in keeping time
with the instrument at this end of the wires.—
This is one of many telegraphic novelties.

On Friday night last, Mr. Thomas F—• and
Matilda G , of this city, eloped to Covington,
and were married. On Friday it waa discovered
by the father that his danghter ha*made aa “ar
rangement” to leave him, to marry a mao be had
forbidden her hand, and ha was determined to
“ keep an eye” on her. It had been arranged,
and her father had found it out, and she knew it,
that the young lady should meet the young gen
tleman and lover together at a certain place in a
carriage, and go to Covington. After dinner, the
father \?as asked, much to hts surprise, to accom
pany his daughter to the very place of meeting,
which had been appointed, and they were to start
at four o'clock. So, the father went abont his bus
iness till the appointed time—returning, he found
iris daughter had started before his ratnm. In vain
lie Bought her, but knowing they would craw in
the ferry boat, he stationed himself on it, and hail
ed every carriage that passed, but found no daugh
ter. At length an empty carriage came about),
and, on tho same trip, a raggetfcripple, limping
naturally, and staring about na though ha turn
never seen a boat before. He was accompanied
by a youthful looking personage in male attire.—
The ferry boat passed over, ana the carriage stop
ped at the foot of the hill for the driver to arrange
the harness, (all pretext) and the lagged boy and
companion waited there until the boat again ahov-
cd off to return to this side. Then Mr. F and
Miss G jumped into the carriage, rode to the
priest, threw off their disguise, were married, and
returned to the ferry on their way home. The
young lady met her father, who was still on watch,
and told him what had been done, and bow he had
been cheated by the ragged boy and herself in
boy’s clothes, and then asked papas pardon, which
reluctantly, was granted, and the bride, bride
groom, and the old gentleman, rode home together,
making an ending of an elopement quite agreea
ble, seeing he couldn’t help it, and showing most
emphatically the cunning of the female sex in
such matters. May the new married conple be
happy.—Cincinnati Commercial, Oct. 99.

As Captain Coddle was walking along the sea
beach, at Schnaphausen, a thought atmek him.
With the most innocent of all suustances he has
gone and blended a poworful medicament, and yet
no mercury in it—no mercury!—no mercury 11—
no mercury!!! The benevolent heart of the oap-
tain throbbed with delight. He went and secured
a sloop-load of apples at onct—had them smashed,
medicated, and put in barls. When ebailatanry
is making such progressive strides, it la really re
freshing to see a remedy based upon the princi
ples of science and com moo sense; oat which ap
peals to nature for its guide. Saeh in the Medi
cated Apple-Saas, which hue now been before the
community long enough to attest lie valae. It is
better than all the piunbe ever invented. To the
bowels Itis kind, yet potent-soothing yet thorough.

“ Your Sa&s is about the pleasantest thing
for a drag I ever took. It rin me onto my legs
when nothin else would. My first wife experien

No wonder the black-eyed lady believed the

clothing, indicated something like it at least.

“Your little girl,” cxcluimed the poor man with
