Prof. DeGrath,39, South Bth Street, Philadelphia.
I have a remarkalile cure. Deputy Sheriff’ Kerr ol Pitts
burgh,had a very swollen and painfnl hand. I applied
the Oil personally, which gave instant relief- He has re
commended the Oil to others afflicted with Rheumatism,
in which the results were most satisfactory.
I am vours, truly,
GEORGE H. KEYSER, M. D.
Great Cures—Citizens Read!—Rheumatism.— Mr,
Joseph D. Barrie,9 Myrtle Street, says the Electric Oil
cured him immediately.
Piles —Charles Sexton, Esq., ex-Mayorof Camden,
says six applications cured him. Also, cured his Rheuma
atism.
Neuralgia. —Mr. David Mann, 499 Vine Street,says,
he was a great sufferer, but the Electric Oil cured him.—
So says E. H. Grant, Esq , 517 North Eighth Street.
Croup —This Oil is infallible for Croup. Ask a lady
at the Girard House.
CAUTION.
There are numerous imitations sprung up on the reputa
tion that my article has acquired. The public must be
ware. They are worthless.
Philadelphia, Sept ],1556.
Prof. DeGrath —Dear Sir—l must inform you of the
great benefit a patient of mine has experienced from the
application of your Electric Oil. The case was that of a
girl of 8 years of age, who was terribly afflicted with scro
fula, and a discharge from the knee. The leg becamelso
contracted as to literally bury the heel in the hip. It had
been in this condition about 12 months, and 1 could find
nothing in the whole materia mediea to have any effector
give relief. 1 finally procured a bottle ol your Electric
Oil and gave it to toe mother directing her to apply it to
the parts along the contracted sinews, which had the ef
fect of making the leg nearly one fourth straight in about
six hours. The application of the Oil was continued for
about 3 weeks using only six bottles and now the leg is
nearly nerfectly straight

Caution. —There are numerous imitations sprung up on
the reputation that my article has acquired. The public
must beware. They are worthless.
RHEUMATISM.—Deafness, Neuralgia, Swelling,
Stiffness and all pains, cured by one bottle of Professor
DeGrath’s Electric Oil.
This letter is one of the many received recently:
Philadelphia. June 25, 1856.
Prof. DeGrath: I had a swelling in my limbs nearly a
year. After using many things without benefit, the first
bottle of your Oil I used cured me entirely. 1 shall over
remember you as mv restorer. J. E. NOLAN.

A Medicine that never Debilitates!
DR. SANDFORD’S
INVIGORATOR,
OR LIVER REMEDY,
rpHISIS ONEOF THE GREATEST SCIENTIFIC MEDI-
J_ cal discoveries ever made, and is daily working cures
almost too great, to believe. It enres as if by magic, even
the first dose giving benefit, and seldom more than one bottle
is required to cure sany kind of Liver Complaint, from the
worst Jaundice or Dyspepsia *to a common head ache, all of
which are the result oi a diseased Liver.
The Liver isoneof the principal regulators of the human
body, and when it performs its tu ctior.s well, the powers of
the system are fullv doveloped. The stomach is almost en
tirely dependent on ;the; healthy action of the Liver for the
pr per performance o f its functions. When the stomach is at
fault, the bowels are at fault, and the whole system suffers in
consequence of one* organ—the Liver—having ceased to do
ifsduty. For the disease ol that organ, one of the proprietors
has made it his study, in practice of more than 20yefirs, to
find some remedy wherewith to counteract the many derange
ment s to which it is liable.
To prove that this remedy is at last found, any person trou
bled with livercoitoplaint in any of Us forms, has but to irya
bottle and conviction is certain.
A compound has been formed by dissolving gums and ex
tracting tbaPpart which is soluble lor the active virtues of
the medicine. These gums remeve all morbid or bad matter
from the system, supplying pn their place a heaithy flow of
bile, invigorating the stomach, causing food to digest well,
purifying the blood, giving tone and jhealth to the whole ma
chinery, removing the causes! o the disease,and effecting
a radical cure without any of the disagreeable alter effects,
felt by using Calomel or Mineral Poison, that are usually re
sorted to.
To all who will follow these directions a cure is positively
guaranteed.
Siek Headache can be cured by the use of I or 2 tea-spoons
ful taken as soon as the attack is felt.
The invigorator never fails to cure sour stomach, or the bad
effects.experienced after eating.
Billious attacks yield readily to oue bottle, and Chronic Di
arrhoea, difficult as it is UrcurCjls never trouolesometo those
who take the Invigorator.
For Dyspepsia, Jauudice, nothing in the kuown world acts
so fullyor cures so quickly as the Invigorator. it removes
all yellowness and unnatural color from the skin.
For Nightmare, take a dose bef*.re retiring, andit is war*
ranted a sure preventative.
For Female. Obstructions, it jisasafe and sure remedy as it
removes the cause ot the ‘disease.
Lostiveness cannot ► exist where the Invigorator sis freely ta
ken while cholic yields readily to a few doses.
It must be known that all these are Liver Diseases,or caus
ed by a deranged Liver, and to cure them needs a Liver med
icine and one of great power. The Invigorator is suchja med
icine; it has medical powers never before discovered, that
will cure all diseases, of the Liver, no matter of how long
standing or what? may be their form. The active medicinal
virtues extracted from the gums used is such as to be aston
ishing to all who see their effects,* tor none can use the medi
cine without receiving benefit. It acts as a ‘gentle cathartic,
and should always be taken in sufficient quantities to oper
ation, the bowels gently. The best to take it is to take
the medicine in the mouth, then takesume water and swal
low both together. lix this way the medicine will scarcely
be tasted.

Reported by Brown fellow.
Tell me not, in mourntul numbers,
Life is but an empty dream.
Chickens in their oval slumbers

Life is real, life is earnest;
And this shell is not its pen;
Egg thou art, and egg remaiueat,
Was not spoken of the hen.
Not enjoyment and not sorrow,]
Is our destined end or way/
But to scratch, that each to morrow
Finds ns fatter than to-day.
Art is long, and time is fleeting,
Beourbill then sharpened well;
Not like muffled drums oe Seating
On the inside of the shell.
In the world’s broad field of cattle,
In the great barnyard of life,
Be not like the lazy cattle,
Bea rooster in the strife !
Trust no hawk, however pleasant,
And yet never be it said,
When Birds of prey were present,
You were skulking in tho shed.
Lives of old cocks all remind us
We can make our lives sublime;
And when roasted, leave behind us
Bird tracks on the sand of time.
Bird tracks that perhaps another
Chicken drooping in the rain,

Interesting Account of an Almost Unknown Country.
The San Francisco Herald, of the sth ult., an
nounces thearrival in that city of Mr. P. McD. Col
lins, on his return from one ol the most interesting
expeditions of modern times, overland through
Northern Russia, from St. Petersburg to the
Amoor river. The journey occupied exactly one
year:
Twelve months ago Mr. Collins left St. Peters
burg, traveled from thence to Moscow, by railroad,
and Irom thence through Siberia in sledges and
telegas, to Clietah.lhe capital of the Trans-Baikal
province, situated on the river Ingodal, one of the
main sources of the Amoor, where he waited tor
the breaking up of the ice in the river, and then,
accompanied by four Cossack soldiers, and by Air.
Fulhelm, the Governor of the Russian-Amnrican
Company at Avan, proceeded down to the Amour
and along, the river to the Pacific.
From Mr. Collins we have obtained much inter
esting information in regard to the vast region
through which he traveled, and about which so lit
tle is known. He speaks in the highest terms of
the Russian officials with whom he had intercourse.
Americans are everywhere highly regarded by the
Russians, and are always treated with every cour
tesy and respect. The party of which Air. Collins
formed one were not molested by the Nomadic
tribes who inhabit a great portion of the region
through which they traveled. They found it nec
essary, however, to be cautious in their intercourse
with them. During his journey, Mr. Collins stop
ped for some time at Kyackta and Miamattschin. —
These towns are located side by side. The former
is inhabited by the Russians, and the latter by the
Chinese. The boundary line ofthe-Uvo nations
runs between. It is marked only by a board fence.
They are both walled and fortified. At this point
all the legitimate trade of the two countries is car
ried Oil.
To Miamattschin the Chinese convey from the
interior their teas and other goods on bullocks and
camels, and to Kyackta the Russians bring their
commodities, and in this way the exchange is
made. The trade which centres at this point is
estimated to amount to c ver thirty millions of rou
bles per annum. While at Kyackta Air. Collins es
sayed to enter the Chinese dominions, and proceed
to Pekin, which is about eight hundred and fifty
miles to the south. He joined an ambassador, sent
out by the Russian Government to treat with the
Emperor for the purchase of the country lying
along the Amoor river.
The whole of this region, according to a treaty
made in the reign of the Empress Calharine, be
longs to the Chinese; but the Russians are now in
possession of several portions of it. They are
willing to acquire it by purchase; but if an over
ture to that effect is rejected, they are prepared to
take it. Neither the Russian Ambassador nor Mr.
Collins could obtain permission to proceed to Pekin,
and they were both obliged to return. The Rus
sians have greater facilities of obtaining correct
views in relation to matters in China, than any
other nation in the world. There is in Pekin what
is termed the Russian College. It is consists of
ten missionaries of the Greek Church. These ten
missionaries remain for ten years, and are then re
placed by ten more.
During the decade of their sojourn, they are not
permitted to fill any vacancies that may be caused
by death, or any other casualty. They are treat
ed in the Chinese capitol with respect, and are al
lowed a guard of honor. Through the agency of
this college, the Russian Government obtains reli
able information of everything that transpires at the
court of his Celestial Majesty. After his unsuc
cessful attempt to penetrate through the Chinese
territory to Pekin, Mr. Collins proceeded to Chetah
situated at the head waters of the Amoor river.—
The province, of which it is the capitol, is rich in
mineral resources. It is about as large as Califor
nia. It abounds in mines of gold, silver and cop
per. The gold is found in river beds and gulches.
There are no quartz mines. The annua! yield is
estimated at five millions of roubles. The silver
mines are very rich.
They are both worked by the convicts transport
ed to Siberia by the Russian Government, under
the supervision of military officers. Private parties
are not permitted to take out the precious metals
in this section ofthe country. la dther places they
are allowed to mine under certain restrictions, and
are obliged to pay the Government a certain per
centage upon ail they take out. We have received
a great variety of interesting information, particu

Rachel's Last Hours. — Parting with her Jewels
In the early stages ot Rachel’s final (illness her
fondness for gold and jewels did not desert her.—
She frequently had her jewels and rich garments
brought to her bed, and beguiled the weary hours
in looking tuem over, and on one occasion, after
taking one long and lingering look at them, she
exclaimed, with a sigh of heartfelt'distress, “Ilf out
done quitter tout?’ (“Must I then abandon all!”)
Her death struggle was long and severe, and her
last hours are described as agonizing.
Cannes, that town in which Rachel breathed her
last, is, as a French journal assures us, “a paradisai
cal resort in the south of France, the honor of
whose discovery belongs to'Lord Brougham, who
hasforyears had his country scat in it, and reco
mended it to his countrymen as a winter residence.”
This winter Cannes has been overflowing with
visitors. Since the occupation of Nice by Russians
such as formaly wintered there have resorted to
Cannes. The recent reports of the improving health
of Rachel—for up to a few days previous to her
death hopes had been entertained of her recovery
attracted crowds of consumptives to the charmed
spot.
Rachel leaves two sons, the eldest of whom, it is
alleged, is the grandson of the great Napoleon, his
father being Connt Walewski, Napoleon’s son by
his Polish mistress, and now French Minister of
Foreign affairs.

Anecodote of Alexander Hamilton.
The following anecdote of this great Statesman
is taken from a collection of English newspaper
cuttings in the possession of the New York His
torical Society :
“General Hamilton, the American, when a youth
of seventeen, was cheif c.erk to an eminent nter
chant in St. Eustatia, who being absent, the busi
ness of the counting-house, of course, devolved on
young Hamilton. He had presented to him a let
ter directed to his master which, supposing it rela
ted to mercantile concerns, he (opened ; but hi.-L
surprise was great when lie found that it contain
ed a challenge jo his master, whose proxy he was.
The young hero answered the challenge in the
name of his master, and the time and place er.-
mentioned in the reply.
“Hamilton appeared to the antagonist of his mas
ter on the field, and, to use his own words, ‘did
his business in his -absence,’ and would not agree
to any compromise, except on the express condi
tion that the challenger should acknowledge iu wri
ting yhat he had received suitable satisfaction from
Mr. , that he was a gentleman of honor,
and lurtlier, that he (Hamilton) should never be
known, in the business—which terms the challen
ger wasoblidged to accede to, or fight young Ham
ilton : fiejehose the former and the parties separa
ted. In a few months, however, it came to his
master’s ears, who was so struck, with the magna
nimity ol such conduct, that he gave him the liber
ty to go to the continent, choose what profession
lie pleased, and draw on him to any amount. Per
haps to this anecdote, America is indebted for
the service and abilities of a man who has not his
superior as a soldier, a financier and a statesman.',
A writer from Washington to the N. York “Express”
lately attended a reception'at the Execut ve Mansion and
thus naughtically describes.
Navigation In the East Boom.
And the ladies! What a variety of crinoline,
from measureless diameters and circumferences to
ludicrous contractions! Hoops of brass and hoops
of steel—hoi ps oi reed and hoops of cord—hoops
of wire and hoops of india-rubber—dresses starch
ed and dresses wilted—dresses crushed and dres
ses torn—muslins under the heavy heels of heavy,
clumsy fellows, and under the toes of those who
understood skimming a surliice of gossamer-work
as a duck over a pond. Navigating Scyila and
Chary Ulis, along the Wandering Rocks, immortali
zed by Horner in the Odyssey, was very respectable
on the water, but navigating the White House on
reception night, and coming forth with whole
limbs and whole clothes, is a labor far more skill
ful. If one moves in the current, up one side of
the East Room and dowm the other, along with the
up and down couples of the grand hall, or array
themselves as wall flowers to be gazed upon by
the thousands of passets by, steady nerves and
sharp eyes may take you through the great stream
in safety; but if tire wind don’t happen to be fair,
and'any sort of tacking or steering starboard or
larboard is necessary, look out for squalls, and
breakers. The ladies whose dragging trams come
in contact with the tip end of your toes, or whose
exuberant flounces catch your buttons, look unut
terable things; and one might as well look a bright
sunshine or a stroke of lightning full in the face - as
to stand the encounter.
Mem. —Ail sorts of gossamer, perishable, airy
nothings, are out of place in a Washington party.
Nothing but brocades and stout silks can stand the
rush and crush of the crowd. It is amusing to
hear the tales of woe uttered by the ladies over the
damages received at these receptions, which are
nevertheless fascinating enough to keep the rooms
thronged.
New Phase of the Hoop.
Everybody, now-a-days, has something to say
about the ladies’ hoops. In fact, (it ‘S asserted by
high authority,) no one must be ignorant of that
“circle” around and within which all that is attrac
tive moves—the outskirts of society having be
come the very centre of civilization. Douglas &
Sherwood, of New York, are the Napoleons of the
manufacture of this curious appendage to a lady’s
toilette, and they have just invented anew style
.ofskirt, which they call the “Expansion.” Not
feeling exactly competent to descant on the in
tricacies of a lady’s toilet, I will allow one to speak
who is competent to judge of this new invention.
No one will doubt, that good taste and judgement
of Mrs. Stephens, and she, in herexcelent monthly
says:
“The expansion skirt is perfect, in form, material,
and finish, and infinitely superior to the French
ones which are imported into this country ami sold
at double the price. It consists of eight small flex
ible steel hoops, encased in a covering of fine cot
ton, which is woven over the hoop by machinery ;
these hoops are supported by upright bands of inch
wire tape, and finished at each end by a silver
clasp/ which enables the wearer to increase or di—
minis!) the size at pleasure, and without the possi
bility of their becoming disarranged, if reasonable
care is taken to secure the clasps- It is also sup
plied with an adjustible lournoure, the end of each
hoop being furnished in like manner with clasps
The waist is gathered into a band, and fastened in
front by a clasp.”— Washington States.
Kind Words—Why Use Them. —l. Because
they always cheer him to whom they are address
ed. They s othe him if he is wretched. They
comfort him ifhe is sad. They keep him out of
the slough of despond, or help him out if he hap
pens to be in. -
2. There are words enough of the opposite kind
flying in all directions—sour words—cross words—
fretful words—insulting words—irritating words—
over-bearing words. Now let kind words have a
chance to get abroad, since so many, so different,
are on the wing.
3. Kind words bless him that use them. A sweet
sound on the tongue tends to jnake the heart mel
low. Kind words react upon the kind feelings
which prompted them, and make them more kind.
They add fresh fuel to the fire of benevolent emo
tion in the soul.
4. Kind words beget kind feelings toward him
that loves to use them. People love to see the face
and hear the voice of such a man.
Kind words are, therefore, of great value in these
hard times.
A Skillful Detective. —A ship was about to start
from Havre to America. On board was a young
German woman, who, having deserted her hus
band and taking with her her little girl, had em
barked with her lover.
The ship was about to weigh anchor, when the
telegraph brought an order to arrest the mother
er and the child. It chanced that three or four
young German women were on board with their
children. The description of the fugitive was in
sufficient, ail these women having clear complex
ions, and her identification was in consequence very
difficult. To get out of this embarrassment the
officer bethought him of a ruse.
He assembled together (he women with their
children, and, when the group was formed, ap
proached them and said in German :
“Think of poor dear papa, who is crying far
away for hisjittle girl.”
“Oh, mamma,” said one ofthe little innocents,
bursting into tears, “papa is crying far away; let
us go back to him.”
The mother betrayed her emotion, was recog
nized and detained. Was Solomon more ready
than this officer?
A Sleepy Bride. —The Paris Journal des De bats
tells of a young couple who went to a church at
Lyons to be married. During the time the ecclesi
astic who presided at the ceremony was addressing
them the bride fell into a most profound sleep
which lasted till the moment came at which the
young husband was to put the nuptial ring on the
finger of his drowsy partner; but, on perceiving her
state of unconsciousness, he was, as may readily
be believed, shocked and irritated at such a flagrant
disregard of all decency. After the conclusion ot
the’ceremony he informed his bride’s friends thathe
would not live with her; and, giving them 2000f.
tor her, as stipulated in the contract, left her.
Charles Dickens on Horses.-r- 1 object to the
personal appearance of the horse. I protest against
the conventional idea of beauty as attracted to that
animal. I think his nose too long, his forehead too
low, and his legs (except in the case of the cart
horse) ridiculously thin, by comparison with the
size of his body. Again considering how big an
animal he is, 1 object to the contemptible delicacy
of his constitution. Is Ire not the sickliest creature
m crea'ion ? Does any child catch cold as easily
as a horse? Docs he not sprain his fetlock, for a:l
his appearance of strength, as easily as 1 s ran
my .nkle? Futhermore, to take him from anoiher
point of view, what a helpless wretch he is! No
fine lady requires more constant waiting on than
a horse. Other animals can make their own toilette
he must have a groom. You will tell me that this
is because we want to make his coat artificially
glos -y. Glossy ! come home with me, and see my
cat—my clever cat, who can groom herself! Look
at your own dog! see how the intelligent creature
curry-combs himself with his own honest teeth!
Then, again, what a fool the horse is—whata poor
nervous fool! He will start at peice of white paper
in the road, as if it were a lion. His oue idea, when
he hears a noise he is not accostomed to, is to run
away from it. What do you say to those two com
mon instances of the sense and courage of this ab
surdly over-praised animal? I might multiply two
hundred, if i chose to exert my mind and waste
my breath, which I can never do. I prefer coming
at once to my last charge against the horse, which
is the most serious of all, because it affects his mor
al character. I accuse him boldy, in his capacity
of servant to man, ? ofslynessaml treachery. 1 brand
him publicly, no matter how mild he may look
about the eyes, or how sleek he may be a’bout the
coat, as a systematic betrayer, whenever he can
get a chance, otthe confidence reposed in him.
The French Slave Trade. —According to letters
received from Alarseiiies, transportation of free
negroes from the coast of Africa, for the French
colonies, on board of French vessels, lias nearly
been the cause of a serious conflict between the
French and the English navies. A ship belonging
to the port of Marseilles, and which was taking on
hoard, on the coast of Madagascar, a cargo of nt
gros for the Island of Bourbon, was threatened to
be dealt with as a slaver by English cruisers, and
was obliged to return to France without having
accomplished its object, although a French rnan
•if-vvai’ interfered, and endeavomd to make its
rights respected. Admiral Ha molin'’ gave jway to
some excitement on the occasion, and explanations
have been exchanged on the subject between the
Secretary of the Navy and Lord Cowley. As
a sort of conciliatory measure, the British cabinet
has proposed to the French to employ, instead ot
free negroes from Africa, sepoy prisoners to be pro
vided by the East India Company. The role ol
ailer for England, would certainly not he favorably
.viewed by our planters. The iwo cabinets will

American Ocean Steamers, —A recent American
writer on ocean steam navigation says that the
United States have only fifty-seven steamers, meas
uring 94,795 tons, while Great Britten has one
thousand six hundred and seventy, with an aggre
gate measurement of 6(16,330 tons. We have
twenty-two steamers, of 46,000 tons, engaged m
the foreign and domestic mail service, while Greal
Britten has one hundred and twenty-one, of 235
488 aggregate tonage, engaged in the foreign mail
service almost exclusively. We have thirty-seven
steamers engaged in the coasting trade, while she
has one|tliousandfive hundred andtorty-eightsimi
larly employed. The steam mail service of Great
Britten costs that Government nearly six millions
of dollars annually, while the direct returns in pos
tage amount to very little above that sum.
Pho same author says that American steamers
do not last on an average more than ten years’; that
to put anew set of boilers in one of the Collins
steamers, which must be done every six years,
costs about one hundred and ten thousand dollars ;
that a trip of the Arago or Fulton to Harve and
back costs,about forty five thousand dollars; and
that, while to tuna Collins steamer of 3000 tons at
the rate of fourteen miles an hour, as has fiequent
ly been done, consumes one hundred and twenty
eight tons of coal per day, she can be run at twelve
miles an hour with a daily consumption ofßo tons,
or eleven miles with 61 tons. The power or coal
necessary to produce speed increases as the cube
of the velocity.
The Royal Bride. —Our lady readers will be
interested tn the following description of the Eng
lish Princess Royal, from the pen ot a correspon
dent of an Aberdeen journal:
With the rememberance, as if it had been yester
day, ofthe boom of the guns which announced her
birth, I was scarcely prepared to find her a full
grown woman, taller by a couple of inches than
her mother, and carrying herself with theease and
grace oi womanhood ! It is no stretch ol loyally
or courtesy to call the Princess Royal pretlv. She
is perfectly lovely. The regularity of her features
is perfect.—Her eves arc large and full of intell
geuee, imparting to her face that sort of merry
aspect which indicates good humor. Tne nose
and mouth are delicately and exqu sitely formed,
the latter giving an effect of great sweetness. The
Princess is more like her lather than her mother.
Siie is like the Queen in nothing hut her nose. In
all oilier respects slie is a female image of her father
I should add, as interesting to your lady readers,
that she wears her hair slightly off her forehead;
not pushed back in the Eugeniefashlon, but brush
ed latitudinally from tht temples, and raised at the
sides above the ear in bandeaus, (really the ladies
must excuse me if I am talking nonseee, f r I have
not given that hostage to fashion which would en
able me to speak ex cathreda.) Well, at any rate
the Princess is fair enough to be the heroine of a
fairy tale, and the Prince Frederick should consider
himself a lucky fellow.
What Will a Glass of Water Hold !—lt is gen
erally thought that when a vessel is full of water any
solid substance immersed in it will cause it to over
flow, and such will be the ease if ihe substance is
not soluble in the water : hut the philosophic truth
that in dissolving a body yon do not increase the
volume of the solvent, may be proved by a simple
and interesting experiment. Saturate a certain
quantity of water, at a moderate heat, with three
ounces of sugar, and when it will no longer receive
that there is room in it for two ounces of salt of
tartar, and after that for an ounce and a dram of
green vitriol, nearly six drams of nitre, the same
quantity of sal ammoniac or smelling salt-, two
drams and a scruple of alum and a dram and a
half of borax; when all these are dissolved in it, it
will not have increased in volume. [Scientific

“But with the Morning, Cool Refection Came.”
—The Daily Advertiser says a well known gentle
man of that city, who has no insurmountable oh
jections lo the fascinations of female society, enter
ed the cars at a station on the New York Central,
with a friend about midnight; the lights had burn
ed down, and our hero, descrying a lady alone in a
seat, slid quietly in beside her, his friend taking
that next in the rear. Gradually as the night wore
on, the gentleman gently drew his Companion to
wards him, until, unconsciously to her, without
doubt, she reclined her head in quiet slumber upon
his shoulder, his arm resting protectingly upon
hers. The late dawning threw a gray, cold gleam
through.the car window, which enabled our hero
to catch a glimitSe of his new acquaintance—she
was eighty if she was a day, with nary tooth in
her head ! He stole one glance at his observing
friend in the rear, and made a break for the fire.

Beach of Promise Case. —slo,ooo Damages
Awarded. —Mary Jane Cribbet sued Wm. Mathers
in the Court of Common Pleas at Cincinnati, for
not fulfiling his prommise to marry her, and in
aggravation of damages, it was in evidence that
the defendant was the father of an illegitimate child
born on the 22d of March 1857. The complainant
is 19 years of age, and quite good looking. She
testified positively to the marriage contract, and to
the various subsequent acts of defendant, which
resulted in the present suit. The jury, after an

ten thousand dollars against the defendant.
Melancholy Death of a Miser. —A few weeks
since a Spanish gentleman of high connection,
named Stephen Despratt died in London, under
circumstances of a most extraordinary nature.—
Although in the possession of wealth to the amount
ol $150,000, he was so penurious that he denied
himself the common necessaries of life, and finally
carried his frightful avarice to such an extent that
his landlady was compelled to call in medical advice
in consequence of his being discovered in an in
sensible and exhausted condition in his apartments,
the result of actual starvation. On a post mortem
examination, the stomach was found empty, and
in a withered condition. His apartments exhibited
a most extraordinary collection ol multitudinous
trash, picked up by the wretched old miser for
years past.

houses, at that port, for a year or two past, a large
lot of saltpetre, for which the owner some time

pound, holding out for an additional cent. At
the present time the market price is not much over
six cents per pound, the original cost being about

“Why ?” responded his friend.
“Because,” replied the other, “it would have
