The. Gkkat Burman Bell.—Next to the
great bell of Moscow, which weigh* soar hun
dred and lorty-lour thousand pounds, I the bell
of Men goon, mentioned by Mr. Maldolrn, who
de-crihes the Burmese as parlicu'arly famous for
casting bells. Their bells are howevijr, dispro
portionately thick, but of delightful Dne. The
raised inscriptions and figures are as beautiful as
on any bells in the world. They do; not Hire
open at the mouth like a trumpet, bat; <;re pre
cisely the shape of an old-fashioned giobu ar wine
glasses, or seoiispheroidal. There a e several in
the empire of enormous size. I hat at Mcngoon,
near Ava, weighs as the prime minister informed
me, eighty-eight thousand viss—more than three
hundred and thirty thousand pounds? It seems
almost incredible; but it is nevertheless true. The
bell, by actual measurement, is twenty inches
thick, twenty feet high, including the ear, and
thirteen feet six inches in diameter. A friend,
distinguished as a civil engineer, computed the !
weig t, train this measurement,to exceer five hun
dred thousand pounds, supposing the >ell metal i
to consist of three parts copper and om part tin.
The weight was ascertained by the Bui mans be
fore cabling, and its bulk in cubic inchjes proves
them to he correct. It is suspended a fijw inches
from the ground, and like there other g|eat bells,
is without a tongue. That at Rangouti is not
much smaller. It will he recollected ihjit the lar
gest bells in the United Slates do not much ex
ceed rive thousand pounds.

Lou. Journal.
On being Dunned.
Oh, no! I never mention him, i
His name is never heard; i
My very shadow seems bear •
A hatred to that word.
From court to court they- hurry me,
In spite of my regret;
And when they win a note from me.
They think that I forget. |
They bid me seek, in change of scene,
The charms that others see;
But were I in a foreign land,
They’d find no change in me.
Tis true that I behold no more :
The prison where we’ve met; !
But then I see, my chere amie —
And how can I forget?
They toll me he is careless now,
And thoughtless of ‘ the day”— i
The}' hint that he forgets me too — ;
But heed not what they say; •
Like me. perhaps, they’ll struggle with
Writs, creditors and deot;
But if they’re dunn’d as I’ve teen du,lin’d,
They never can forget.

A REAL BLESSING TO MOTHERS.
DR W. EVANS ’ CELEBRATED SOOTHING
SYRUP, for Children Cutting their Teeth.— This
infallible remedy has preserved hundreds of chil
dren, when thought past recovery, from convul
sions. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the
gums, the child will recover. The preparation is
so innocent, so efficacious and so pleasant, that no
child will refuse to let its gums be rubbed with it
When infants are at the age of four months, though
there is no appearance of teeth, one bottle of the
Syrup should be used on the gums, to open the
pores. Parents should never be without the Syrup
in the nursery where there are young children ; for
if a child wakes in the night with pain in the gums,
the Syrup immediately gives ease, by' opening the
pores and healing the gums ; thereby preventing
convulsions, fevers, kc. Sold only at Dr. Wm.
Evans’ Medical Office, 100 Chatham street. New
York, where the Doctor may he consulted on all
diseases of children.
PROOF POSITIVE OF THE EFFICACY OF
Dr. EVANS’ SOOTHING SYRUP.—To the Agent
of Dr. Evans’ Soothing Syrup: Dear Sir —The
great benefit afforded to my suffering infant by
'our Soothing Sy r rup, in a case of protracted and
iainfu! dentition, must convince every feeling pa
ent how essential an early r application of such au
1 ivaluahle medicine is to relieve infant misery and
arture. My infant, when teething, experienced
iuch acute sullerings, that it was attacked with
convulsions, and my wife and family supposed that
death would soon release the babe from anguish,
till we procured a bottle of your Syrup; which as
soon as applied t the gums, a wonderful change
was produced, and after a few applications the
child displayed obvious relief, and by continuing in
its use, 1 am glad to inform you the child has com
pletely recovered, and no lecurrence of that awful
complaint has since occurred ; the teeth are ema
nating daily and the child enjoys perfect health.
1 give you my cheerful permission to make this
acknowledgment public, andwill gladly give any
information on this circumst; nee.

NOTICE.
IT is disagreeable to me to trouble the public
with my private matters, particularly as 1 am
notin the habit of writing newspaper squibs, but
1 am at this time drawn out, in self defence, by' the
advertisement over the signature of Charles L.
Mathews and Sherwood B Shehec, who have cau
tioned the public against trading for a note given to
me by them, as the consideration of the note has
failed to be complied with on my part I fully
complied with the requirements made by Charles
L. Mathews, of me, at tae time the note was given.
He made lurthcr requirements of me afterwards,
of which 1 would not comply with, for he was ful
ly' cautioned of future results, by me, before we
made the trade for which I received his note; and
he took the trade on himself, at his own risk, in
the presence of Mr. Rufus K. Evans, a respeclanle
gentleman of Macon, Ga., who I fortunately had to
go with me to hear the representations made by me
to him. I wish it further understood, that he came
to me to make the trade, not me to him. Several
other gentlemen applied to me for the same trade,
and I gave them the same information that 1 gave
Charles L. Mathews. Though Mathews said that
he had read or studied law, and consequently was
acquainted with the laws of Georgia, and under
those considerations we made the trade Now as
he has disclaimed the payment of his note, I cau

ACADEMY OF RICHMOND COUNTY.
Trustees of this institution are happy to
have it in their power to state, that both the
principal Academy in Augusta, and the branch at
Summerville, have resumed their exercises, under
the management of Teachers who have the full
confidence of the Trustees, and who, they are sa
tisfied, arc fully entitled to that of the public.
Mr. Ernenputsch, the Rector of the Academy,
already favorably known to the community, has
charge of the Classical department and ail the
branches of education requisite for admission to
our best Colleges. His attainments as a scholar
and success in imparting useful knowledge, emi
nently qualify him for the discharge of the im
portant duties of his station.
Mr. Ring, the principal English Teacher, re
centl}' engaged by the Board, comes with the high
est recommenda ions as to character, talents, lite
rary attainments and skill in teaching, and the
Trustees feel assured that he will sustain the re
putation which led to his sele tion.
The branch of the Acadeni}- at Summerville is
under the immediate management of Mr. Frank
lin George, a gentleman of experience in teach
ing, and highly recommended. The advantage of
the location of this branch of the Academy in one
of the most healthful neighborhoods in the State,
and sufficiently remote from the unfavorable in
fluence of a crowded town, are too well known to
need comment.
On the whole, the Board confidently recommend
to the public the principal Academy and the Branch
at Summerville, as being on a better fooling than
they have heretofore been, and promising great
usefulness to those who may avail themselves of
the advantages which they offer.

PEDIGREE.
J. R. H. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama,
certifies as follows :—■“ Tom 'i unstall was foaled
mine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High
land Mary and her dam a full-blooded Archie.mare;
the sire of Highland Mary was old Pacolef. Tom
Tunstall was sired by o.d Pacific, and he by- old
Sir Archie. This is as far as lam able to go, tho’
I am satisfied Tom Tunstall has descended f.om as
good a stuck as any horse in the United States. —
lie was a race hoise of the first order, but I lear
will never be able to make a first rate race again,
owing lu his leg; it was injured when a three year
old, in training, as I believe. By addressing Har
py Ckyer, Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a full
pedigree of tiie dam of Tom Tunstall.” The same
Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies-thus •• —“ Highland Mary
combined as many ormore rich crosses of thorough
breds than any maie ever raised in Tennessee.—
She was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of
imported Citizen ; her dam Rosey Carey by Sir
Archie ; grand-dam Saily Jones by the imported
hoise Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlemaine,
(son of O’Kelle.' ’s Eclipse, and one of the purest
importations of the last century;) great grand-darn
by the imported horse Wrangier; great-great-grand
dara O’Possum by imported .Shark,;
great-giand-dam by the celebrated Americanquar
ter race horse,- Goode’s, old Twigg; great-great
great-gieal-giand-dam by imported Fearnaught;
great-great-great-great-great-grand-dam by Lee’s
old Mark Anthony outot a mare by imported Mou
key.” On the sfie’s side it is deemed unnecessary
to trace beyond Sir Archie. It is presumed none
will require a purer or better attested pedegree!—
