LOCAL MATTERS.
The Catholic Fah,
The Fair in behalf of the New Cath
olic Church, was attended by a large
crowd last night, embracing all classes
of our citizens, and the time passed
most pleasantly. The hand en
livened the hours with excellent music,
and the skill of the fair saleswomen
was attested by a brisk demand for
the articles exhibited. The Fair will
be continued to night.
Self-Kenvratliig Gas Light,
This is the name of a new device to
overcome the powers of darkness, and a
great portion of the expense of light.—
The entire arrangement is very simple.
A common lamp is filled with common
fluid. The new burner is placed upon
it, the wick ascending about one-half
np the tube, and acting as a conductor
for the gas. The flanges of the new
burner are heated,by a process requiring
scarcely more than a second, when the
gas ascends and is ignited. The light giv
er, is equal to that of ten candles, and
is mellow and agreeable. We have not
had an opportunity of testing its econo
my, but it claims to be a very great sa
ving over other light.
The Agent is at the Augusta Hotel,
where the light may he seen.
Elcctlc Magazine.
The agent for this monthly, Mr. Ke
ns Boon, is now in this city, and will
take pleasure in waiting upon all who
desire to become subscribers to this
valuable work. We have heretofore
expressed a decided preference for mag
azines of this kind—the solid and sub
stantial—aver those of the flashy order ;
and we have no hesitation in recom
mending the Electic as a gem of the first
water. Its selections are made from
the whole range of British and Foreign
periodical literature with good taste
and sound judgement. It is, and al
wavs has been a favorite with the great
and good of onr country, who, by scores,
have given it their recommendation.
“1 have long been a reader of the
Eclectic Magazine, and 1 regard it as un
surpassed by any work of the kind in
our country for valuable reading. The
selections are from the whole circle of
foreign periodicals, and rarely is one
found which is not of lively interest or
profound instruction.
A. B. Loxostrket, S ('. College.
Columbia, March 2d, 1868.”
“ I cheerfully offer my testimony to
the value of the Eclectic Magazine, as a
most suitable periodical for interesting
and profitable reading. Its selections
are eminently judicious and gathered
from a wide range of the best and purest
literature of the world.

Curious Will.—The will of Gov.
Blatcliett, of Plymouth, proved in 1788,
con tun is the following singular clause:
“I desire my body to he kept so long
as it may not be offensive, and that one
of my toes or fingers may be cut off, to
secure a certainty of being dead. I fur
ther request my dear wife, that as she
has been troubled with one old fool, she
will not think of marrying a second.”

Tbe Kansas presses give glowing ac
counts of the manner in which the Sen
ate Lecompton Bill was received by the
people of the Territory. One paper
says :

brought glorious news from Washing
ton. All was joy in the ranks of the
Free State men; foi the Lecompton
usurpation wa< damned by the Repre
sentatives of the People.
“We have no words to express our
joy. We feel too much. Our people
feel too much. Drum and fife, shout
and music greeted the news, and spoke
the enthusiasm of the people. All was
excitement. The heart-beat was strong,
and all gave way to it. We feel only
like shouting—we only want to say —
God bless the cause of Freedom and

The Scientific American , alluding to'
the success of Rarey, the horse tamer, ;
attributes it to the use of herbs and ‘
drugs, and gives the following recipe j
for others to accomplish the same re-'
suits: “Procure some finely grated horse
castor, and oils of cumin and rhodium, |
and keep the three separate in air-tight j
vessels. Rub a little of the oil of cu I
min upon your hand, and approach thoi
horse on the windward side, so that he j
can smell the odor of the cumin. The j
horse will then suffer you to approach
him without any trouble. Immediate
ly rub your hand gently on the horse’s
nose, getting a little of the oil on it,
and you can lead him anywhere. Give
him a little of the castor on any sub
stance for which he has a taste, and
in the most suitable manner manage to
get eight drops of the oil of rhodium
upon his tongue, and he will at once
become obedient to the most exacting
commands with which horses are ca
pable of complying. Be kind and gen
tle to him, and your permanent supre
macy will be established, no matter
what may have been his previously wild
and vicious character. We understand
that Mr. Rarey has been challenged by
D. Sullivan, also a horse tamer, (grand
son of the celebrated ‘Sullivan, the
Whisperer,’) to a trial of powers in
Cork, Ireland.”

I A novel race took place at St. Thom
i as, Cauda, on Tuesday last, between a |
blooded race horse and a locomotive.— I
The horse is decided to be a very fast
unL', and so is the locomotive, and both :
were well trained to the track. The
arrangements between the betting par-!
ties were, that the horse should be at j
bis starting place when the locomotive !
came up oven, and the word ‘'go”!
should be given, when away they went j
under whip and steam. The judges do
cla.ed the horse the winner by one half

SPRING AND SUMME,

Goodspeedville. some mite or .... , . iom
this village. It appears that a man by
the name of Adams,living in Goodspeefl
ville, died about seventeen months ago
—leaving a wife to mourn his loss. The
widow removed to the West and re
mained there until a short time since,
when she returned to this town.
Upon her return she found her de
ceased husband's brother dying with
consumption, and declared that he
could be cured only in the following
manner, which she said was practiced
where she had been living. The body
of her husband should he taken up, the
heart dissected, and if any blood was
found in the heart, it should be burned,
and the sick man would recover ! This
monstrous proposition was immediately
acted upon—the dead body disintered—l
a physician (?) called, who took out the I
heart and lungs, but not enough blood
being found to answer the purpose—the j
body having lain too long—the further
prosecution of the infamous project was
abandoned. —Glens Falls Republican.

tVhat I# the Reason.
Palsy is becoming a very prevalent
malady. Once upon a time it was a
rare disorder, and a man afflicted with
it was certain to he the subject of gen
eral curiosity as well as general sympa
thy. Now we find palsy and paralysis
figuring conspicuously in the billsof
mortality, and there are few of us ex
empt from the knowledge of some indi
vidual instance of suffering. Is this
change really owing to the adulteration
of ales, wines, and spirits, so common
now a days ? Or must we look f<tr the
cause in some other more potent direc-j
tion ? A late English work speaking of j
the death of General Edmund Phipps,,
remarked that he had lost, for many
years, the use of his right arm "* from
paralyis, caused, it is said, by drinking
j bad Sherry, when in regimental quar
ters, in which white lead was infused.”
(Here is an inuendo, of the strongest
character. Is all Sherry in these times,
j white leaded ? Is all whiskey strich
' nyned ? Do we actually swallow Scotch
| snuffin brandy, red precipitate In Ja
| maica rum, logwood and oil of vitroil
j in old Port, tincture of old boots in Ma
| deira, copperas in green tea,calf's brains
i and indigo in our milk, chicory in our
| Mocha, not to mention deceased Tab
ihies and Towsers in our Croton? If
jnot, "how this world is given to” fa
bricating calumnies merely to the
,accumulated pile of human apprehen
sions. If yes, how is it we even live to
reach the age of maturity, and to cut
our favorite beverage with our wisdom
teeth ?—Baltimore IRspatch.
Curious Pacts In Regard to Rallmads.
The Virginia and Tennessee Railroad
is 204 miles in length, and it cost about
$7,000,000. In 1800 the taxable value
of the laud in the counties through
which it passes, as taken from the cen
sus. was $28,042,047 ; and in 1850 the
State assessment makes it $53,917.229!!
or an increase in six years of $25,365,-
558 ! This sudden increase is alone the
result! of an internal improvement,
which has cost only $7,000.000.

NEW YORK, April 17.—The week closes upon
an exceedingly easy money market, w ith ;i scar
■ city of prime paper, which makes it difficult for
merchants or banks to keep their funds employ
ed The range of best names is from sto 7 per
cent, with 30®60 day bills of leading houses, at
as low as 4 1 , per ct. The chief customers for
paper at tho discount houses are banks, which
cannot, from their regular dealers, obtain the
amount of paper they require to keep their pre
sent line ol discounts good.
Stocks close firmly, with little appearance of
speculation. The present range of prices may
be fairly considered as absolute values, below
; which they cannot be forced, except by specula
! tive combinations, some new, unexpected and
. unfavorable feature in the Money Market, or a
, pestilence—the latter, just now, being consider
' ed by the Bear party as the most imminent of
i all possible evil?. Against the-’o depressing in
rtuenr.es the market Ims the advantage of cheap
, money, with an absolute certainty of still lower
rates for months—indeed until business general
ly revives, and calls for its quota of capital. If
railroad managers are not deceived the railways
, have aho the advantage of a growing business,
which, sided by the rigid economics now prac
. ticod, w ill add to their intrinsic value, and soon
, er than the public outside are willing to concede,
put them iu the way of giving their sharehold
ers some return. In short, the recurrence of a
wbo'e chapter of accidents would force prices
down. While the general m vement of the
country is towards restoration, however slow it
; may upper.r. it U more prabable that present
• values will be sustained, with a reasonable hope
of moderate improvement —Express.

Solved!—l>R. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
DIAL.—The dvsprptic patient, wh6se stomach
lias lost the power of duly converting food into a
life-sustaining element, Ls relieved by a single
course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
fluid ro acquires it* solvent power, and the crude
nutriment, which was a load ami a burthen to
the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
paralysed and unstrung, becomes, under the
wholesome revolution created in the system, the
basis of activity, strength and health.
The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tie-doJoreux
i or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
I paralysis, (borne down and dispirited by that
! terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
| nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
: or disability arising from the unnatural condition
j of the wonderful machinery which connects cv
j ery member with the source of sensation, mo
j tion and thought—derives Immediate benefit j
1 from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms. '
invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
organization.
Females who have tried it are unanimous in
declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
woman has ever received from the hards of
medical men.
Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im
mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite.
While it renews the strength of the digestive
powers it creates a desire for the solid materia!
which ls to be subjected to their action. As an ,
appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia.
If long life and the vigor necessary to its en
joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of
precious worth
Its beneficial effects are not confined to cither
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing
wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
j man of business, the victim of nervous depres
j sion, the individual suffering from general de
j bility or from the weakness of a single organ
| will all find immediate and permanent relief from
the use of this incomparable reuovator. To
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it :
will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard
against that terrible malady. There are many j
perhaps who have so trifled witli their constitu
tion that they think themselves beyond the reach (
of medicine. Let not even those despair. The t
Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re- . 6
lerence to the causes, and will not only remove
the di-order itself, but rebuild the broken con- ! ’
