This is the first discovery of a medicine takon in tbeptomaoh, that has bad the long desired effect of cugng the most obstinate and distressing external diseases. The use of nutritious food, and the ordina ry avocations of business aro not interrupted by the Catholicon; and its properties having tho power of restoring both flesh and bone, and of renovating and invigorating every part of the system during the process of extermi nating disease, is without a parallel. The proprietor begs loavo, respectfully, to return thanks to the many who have reposed confidence in his formor statements, relating to the healing properties of tho Catholicon: and he would lurthet assure the public, tbnl ho will in no instance forfeit their confidence, by recommending his medicine as applicable to any diseaeo. in which it shall not have proved itself eminently successful. The following certificates will, it is pre sumed, satisfy the most incredulous, of the pre-eminent virtues of the Catholicon. CERTIFICATES. Philadelphia, May 28, 1824. Sir,—I am now, thanks to your medicine, a hcarly man. For nearly six yenrs 1 have been a martyr to a disease, whose ravages threatened, if not soon stopped, to put a period to my existence. Having had no regu lar medical advice tioin the commencement, my com plaint at last got to such a height that I could not swal low witliout great pain and difficulty. Tumours formed in different parts el my body, and I began to think my situation almost desperate. The live bottles of the Catholicon which I have taken have completely cured mo, anil I am uow as well us I could wish to be. With uiy thunks, I am your obliged humble servant, &c. GEORGE KANE.

Halford, Conn. February 20, 1827. Mr. Win. W. Potter- Dear Sir—I have now but one bottle of Catholicon left. A person arrived this evening, who came 60 miles since morning, for 17 bottles «f Catholicon, and would have taken 24 ; but 1 could let turn have bill 9. Hu came expressly for the article, and says that the person, who had used two bottles, has had a “ liveii affection or consumption” 20 years ; nnd that threo of tho fum- ily arc invalids, and have paid in ten'years, for medical advice und medicine, $ 1,600. He says the person who has used the two bottles, never found any medicine to comi 1 aiie with the Cathoiicon, and that the neigh bours, seeing tho astonishing effects it produced, anum- ber of them sent tho above person to procuro the arti cle, for vurious chronic diseases. Tho person told mo bo would wait two duy, if he could to procure tho two dozen. Will you, without fail, send me, or, ifnccessary, even come with a few boxes of tho Catholicon to Hartford, as I fear delays will take place in New York and New Haven; and as to being out of tho article, I cannofthink of it.

Thousands of unfortunate seamen are rendered use less to their country by tho ravages of a devouring dis ease, to which they ore more subject than any other class of men. The case of an unlbrtunate sailor who cither 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 the propriety of always including the Catholiconin the medicine chests of the Navy amiMerchants’ service, it being a sovereign remedy in the disease aiiudcd to.

Peraeveranee, aaya the oditorofn Scotch Journal, often eoablea even tbe dunoe to outrip tbe man of geeiut, and makoa fortune the friond of stupidity. Hia maxim ia not very new, but ho illnatrataa it by an anec dote which ia ae to u». Wo have aomotime. heard with wondor of (be exploit? of tho roughgoing aaloamen; but never of any quite equal to (hia:—•• A peraon in tbo weet of Scotland, who bad engaged in tho manufac ture of n certain description of goods, then recently introduced into that part of tbe country, found it necessary, or conjootured it might bo profitablo, to establish a perma nent connection with. aerne respectable mer cantile hense in London. With this design he paoked up a quantity of goads, equipped himself for his journey, and departed. He travelled on foot to tbe metropolis. Upon hia arrival ho made diligent inquiry as to tbeao who were likely to prove bis best cus tomers ; and accordingly, proceeded to call upon one of tho most opulent drapers, with whom he received to establish a regular cor- respondonoe. When Blunders entered tho drapor's shop, he found it crowded with pur- chasers, aud tbq clerks all bustling busily at the back of tho counter, banding out their several wares to their respetivo customers. Saunders waited wlmt he thought a reason able length of timo, (lion laid down his pack, his bonnet and staff upon tha counter, and inquired in his bread Scutch fof “ tho head o’ tho house.” One of tho clorks asked tvhnt ho wnntud. The auswer was, as usual, a question. >• What yo ought i’ my line, sir ?” " No.” was the prompt reply of the person interrogated, who accompanied his mono syllabic uegation with a look of couiempt for the mean appearance of tho itinerant Scotch merchant. “ Will you no take a look u’ the glides, sir ?” was Saunder’a next quory. “ No, not at all, I liavo not time,” repliod the clerk; “ tube them away, toko them,away." “ Ye’ll aiblina find them tvurth your while; nnd I doubtna but ye’ll buy,” said Saunders, ns ho coolly proceeded to untie and unstrip his burden. “ Go away wns reiterated hull'a dozen times with gronl impatience ; but the old man still persisted. ” Get along, you old fool,” cried the clerk, completely out of temper, ns he pushed the already exposed contents of the pack off tho counter, “ get along.” Saunders looked up in the individual’s faco with a wido mouth and an enlarged pair of eyes, then looked down to his osinto that lay ecattorod among hia feet, lookod up ogaie, & exclaimed 11 and wull you really no buy ought; but yc dinna ken ye ha’cna seen Lite gudes yet,” and so ■aying, he slowly gnlhorod them up and re placed them on the counter. • Get out of the shop sir,” wns tho peremptory endeogry command that followed his last appeal Saunders with gravity and self-possession said, “ are you in earnest friond f”—“ VeB certainly,” was the reply, and that reply was succeeded by an unequivocal proof of ain cority on tbo part oftho person who made, it, when he picked up Sounder’s bonnet,and whirled it out into the street. Tho cool Scotchman stalked deliberately and gravely in quest of his stewarion “ headgear.”—Al ter giving it two or throo hearty slaps upon tho wall wilhout the door, ho rc-ontered ve ry composedly wringing tho moisture out of it, looked over to tiro person*who had ser ved him so, aud said, with n genuine Scotch smilo, “ you wna but an ill-faurod turn,man; ye’ll surety take a look o’ the gudes noo.”— The master drftperhitnsolf, who was standing all tho while in tho shop, admiring tbo pati ence and perseverance of tho old man, and feeling a little compunction for tho uncere monious manner he bad been treated, exam ined tbo contents of the pack, found thorn to be articles be etood in nood of,purchased them ordered au additional regular supply, and thus laid the foundation of an opulent mer cantile bou.e that has now flourished for seme generations.

The father seized a club, nod ran to despatch him; but Uruiu had no idea of being knockud on (bo head like a dog: he sprang up, raised him self ou his bind feet sad stood on tbo defen sive. And here, it appears, he proved him self ae excellent holer ; for as Mr. Oaks was aiming a tremendous blow at bis bead, bo parried tbe atroko and with his dexter paw laid his antagonist on tbe ground.

Tbo fall of Lord Wel lington from his horse, at a recont review in England, woe "of course an event dot to be paesed over, and accordingly we find the London'Spectator commenting thus pleasant ly upon the accuraoy of the verioni accounts of ao portontous an ocourranoe : The Duke of fVtiling Ion', fall from . hit hone.—It ia edifying to observe hew difficult it is to obtain an accurate etatement of the simplest matter offset. There areeeven or eight orooles of truth daily speaking io this oi- ty,&yet any two of them seldom agree in theic account of the same matter, whether of oriti- cism, political opioion, or occurrence. Bomo accident happened to the Suka of Wellington at the review in.Hyde, Perk ou Wednesday,—what was. it ? One paper aaye his Grace fell off his horso; another, that the horse reared and tbe Duke dexter* ouely throw himself off; a third print has it that the Premier did not tumble* but that the horse came down; a fourth, again; de clares that the Hero of Waterloo waa thrown off his steed by a gust of wind. Such are tbe discrepiences and contradictions of tbe most faithful reporters of so Bimple an affair. First we shall givQ the version of tbo Times. “During tho review,the Duke of Welling ton while advancing at the head of bis regt., was thrmbn from his horse \ but his Grace, wc aro happy to state, experienced no injury whatever from the fall.” Tho Chronicle ia, of course, great in par ticularity. “During the review the Duke of Welling ton was thrown from his horse, or rather tbo animal fell with his Grace. Something bar- given it alarm, it reared so suddenly that it could not regain its balance, and fell back- wards. Fortunatoly the Duke most dexter ously managed to throw liimself clear of tho horae,otherwise the consequences might have been very serious. To tho enquiries of those around him, the Duke replied that he was not in the leust hurt; nor did it appear that - the horse had sustained any injury, as bis Grace was soon remounted, nnd the animal quite possive. The horse is the Duke’s fa vorite, of n chesont color, and was ridden by his Grace at tho Battle of Waterloo,” Tho horBO which the Duke of Wellington ridos on every occasion, has always this pe culiarity, that ho i9 the identical horse tbe I)uko rode at the battle of Waterloo. Some times he is a chosnut, sometimes he isa grey,-, sometimes a bay, aud we have known him a roan. As wo have a sinccro regard for tbe hoiso that carried tbo Duke through “That great day of milling, u hen blood fell in lakes. When kings held the boUlo, anii Europe thoBlokcs,’ 1 wq must express our pleasure at learning from our friend the Chronicle that hu ia of & capacity to gear in this year 1829. Sac years ngo Mr. Martin Golway had him in a dung- cart,—-that i® to say, in a Parliamentary statemont, which is next in credit to a news paper ono. i The Chronicle mentionB this peculiar par ticular in tho behaviour of tbe mob to tho inuoh-ostecinod quadruped in question—wc quote the sent.enco comploto “At ono time half a dozen people were seen on cither sido of tbe horse, endeavoring to obtain n shako of his hand.” Wo hope tho horse was of sixteen hands et least, for tho pleasure of distributing hie manual courtesies among tho mob. Rut we are wandering from the main point, the manner of the Duke’s tumblo. The Standard beats all its contemporaries in its account of the matter- “ During the military evolutions, nn acci dent occurred to the inspecting Field Mar shal, which, but for the extraordinary docility of the charger which hia Groce rode, might have boeu attended with serious consequer- ccs. The high wind taking, it would appear, the enormous grenadier cap which his Grace wore, absolutely lifted him off' his saddle and he fell to the ground Hew many conflicting statements are (here in these three reports! Tbe Duko fell; the Duke throw himself off; the Duke woe blown off. Then for the horse: tbe horee frisky; the hofse rampant; tho horse extra ordinarily docile. Tho same accuracy which thus treats of a nobleman’® fall from, or with, or by his horse, (for tho point is yet in conflict) deals with the fall of uations. But if wo judge ex pede, what a vast Hercules of falsehood must bo the representatives of this world! Lap;£b Cheapening Goods.—Not many summers sioco, two damsels dressed in over flowing style of country taste, i. e. flowers, fcatbori, ribbons. Sic. promenaded our streets, dropped into our dry good stores and examin ed calicoes, cbiotzes, bombazines, borabazet®, lawn, linen, crapes, hose, handkerchiefs, &c. and walked out, saying, “ they would look further and would call again." After a long tour of observation and maoy talks with shop men, they succeeded iu purchasing a pair of wbole/afa.” Beforo going borne, they weuc to tbe post office and asked for lettera, two were found to their address.—“How much are they ?” said tbo damsels. * Twelve aud a half ceutB each,’ replied tbe office dork ’Twelve and half.” exclaimed tbe damsels. ’Spose you let us bove them cheaper, if we take both? “Cannot do it,” said the clerk. “ Uade Sam will not allow it.” “ Why can t you ask yonr Uocle; perhaps, he'll let vs have them if we take, both for twenty cents r 1 rejoined the shoppers ?
