Sir,—-I am now, thanks to your medicine, a hearty an. For nearly six years i have been a martyr to a sense, whose ravages threatened, if not soon stopped, to put a period to tny existence. Having had no regu lar medical advice from the commencement, my com- datnt at last got to such a height that I could not swat- ow without great pain and difficulty. Tumours formed in different parts of my body, and 1 begun to think my situation alrlTbst desperate. The fivu bottles of the Catholicon which 1 have taken have completely cured me, and I am now as well as I could wish to be. With my thanks, I am your obliged humble servant, &c. GEORGE KANE, City of Philadelphia, rs. George Kane, of tho district of Southwark, personally appeared, and being duly sworn, doth declare and say, that the above stutement is, in all respects, correct and true, and that the signature to it is in the hand writing of this deponent.

Mr. M'Cultocli, after tho uso of three norms of the Catholicon, laid aside his crutches, and was this day in town attending to his business,ill nearly perfect health. Darien, November 1, 1828. Hartford, Conn. February 20, 1827. Mr. Wm. W. Potter— • Dear Sir—I havo now but onf. bottle of Catholicon left. A person arrived this evening, who came 00 miles since morning, for 17 bottles ef Catholicon, and would have taken 24 ; but I could let him have but 8. Hu came expressly for tho article, and says that the person, who had used two bottles, has had a “ liver affection or consumption” 20 years ; and that three of the fam ily are invalids, and have paid in ten years, for medical advice and medicine, $1,500. He says the person who has used tho two bottles, never rot no any medic.nl to compare with the Catijoi icon, and that the neigh bours. seeing the astonishing effects it produced, n num ber of them sent the above person to procure the arti cle, for various chronic diseases. The person tidd me ho would wait two day, if he could to procure the two dozen. Will you, without fail, send me, or, if necessary, even come with a few boxes of the Catholicon to Hartford, as I fca^dclay3 will take placo in New York and Now Haven; and us to being out of the article, I cannot think ofit. I am, in haste, yours, &c. E. W. BULL. TO SEAMEN. Thousands of unfortunate seamen aro rendered use* less to their country by the ravages of a devouring dis* case,to which they are more subject than any other class of men. The case of an unfortunate sailor who either embarks in a diseased state, or finds himself so, on a long voyage, must bo truly deplorable ; and it may not, perhaps, be improper to suggest tho propriety of always including tlio Catholicon in the medicine chests of the Navy and Merchants’ service, it being a sovereign remedy in tiro disease alluded to. TO SOUTHERN PLANTERS. * • The Vegetable Catholtcon is peculiarly adapted to those diseases which are prevalent among the coloured iulation of tho south. In that disease which is cal- ,v- Yaws, it is a sure remedy ; a single trial of it will convince planters of its superior efficacy to any remedy never benature in the United States.

Height from floor to ceiling........84 do. Tbe galleries are supported by seven mas sive columns oo each side, surmounted by ground arches, with mouldings and orna ments in fresco. The ceiling is painted in fresco, resembling groins, and owing to the masterly manner in which tho painting has been executed, it i* scarcely possible to dis tiuguish the difference between it and real stucco wor fr , unless by a near approach. There arefive altars : the grand one in the centre of the chaocel, Is almost finished, and will be a piece of exquisite workmanship.— All tbe 6talls, railiog and other wood works of the chancel are made of black walnut, which has on appearance truly becoming the solemnity^of the place. The appearance of the edifice, when viewed from the grand al tar is truly magnificent, and presents a coup d'ail at once grand and sublime. We be lieve it will be considered no exaggeration to say, this church, when finished, will excel any house of worship in America, in archit ectural beauty, size, and beauty of design. Intemperance.—Extract from an ad dress pronounced before the Medical Grad uates of tbe University of Maryland, April G, 1829, by Nathan K. Smith, M. D. Professor of Surgery and Deao of the Faculty. How few there aro who realize that while the sword is sleeping io its scabbard, while plenty smiles upon oyr laud, aod pestilence withholds its arrews, there ia etill abroad a- body of operaiives as those of tbe great man ufacturing towns, if they do not actually threaten, are always capable of producing the most terrible convulsions. Homicide.—-A distressing event occurred at Ashfield, Conn, on the 7th inst. A man named Alfred Elmer, fancied himself com missioned from Heaven to kill throe persons, deriving bis warrant from lithchap. Revela tion. Proceeding upon this horrible idea,bi« first victim was a child nged 2 years, on only son of Mr. Timothy Catlio, which bo found asleep in its cradle, nnd cut its throat in such o shocking manner as to occasion death in a few momnnte. Ho then attacked his owa Grnml-Cath‘ypW *otipded him so severely that his 11to is tlespaiVea of. His arm was ar rested before he liad time to complete tho work of death, or to attempt it on the third intended victim. Tho child he killed, aa ho 6nid. because it was innocent. No doubt ia enlcrtttiued of his insanity. The Ghost.—For several evenings lost week the town of Waltham had a supernat ural visitor, who appeared jo tbe edge of tbe wootl« near the Plain. Many people wont from this city and vicinity to see his ghost- ship, who soon obtained a very comfortable iioloritey. On Saturday evening, nearly 50(1 people are supposed to have collected ueat the spot, and word having beoo given out that he would not appear until 11 o’clock, the tavern keepers in the neighborhood drove a pretty trade in the matter of providing sup pers &c. Tho aflatr appears to havu been set on foot by some young men, to test tho courage of n companion who had expressed his disbelief of apparitions. The rifles said to have boon fired at the unearthly substance, it is believed, were discharged by those who were in the secret, ond who took care that balls should not be forthcoming. The de ception, it is said,consisted of a person dress-' ed in black wrapping a white sheet nbout him and lotting it fall in such a manner as to appear as if he sank into the earth. Wo congratulate all the trembling old women and timid maidens that the ghost is laid at last. Boston Patriot.
