Transition from one

These symptoms, if allowed to go on—which this me
dicine invariably removes—soon follows loss of pow
er, fatuity, and epileptic fits—in one of which
the patient may expire. Who can a *y that these exces
ses are not frequently fid lowed by those direful diseases
—Insanity and Consumption ? The records of the Ins

In Lunatic Asylums the most melancholy exhibition ap-

destitute—neither Mirth or Grief ever visits it. Should
a sound of the voice occur, it is rarely articulate.
‘•With woeful measures wan despair
Low sullen sounds bis grief iieguiled.”
Debility is most terrible! and has brought thousands
upon thousands to untimely graves, thus blasting the
ambition of many noble youths. It can be cured by
the use of this Infallible Itcmcdy.
If you are suffering with any of the above distressing
ailments, the Fiuid Extract Biicliu will cure yon. Try
it and be convinced of its efficacy.
Beware of quack nostrums and quack doctors, who
falsely boast of abilities and references. Citizens know
and avoid them, and save Long Suffering, .Money and
Exposure, by sending or calling fur a bottle of this pop

PLAN OF THE LOTTERY.
The Numbers from 1 to 50,060, corresponding
with those Numbers on the Tickets printed on
separate slips of paper, are encircled w ith small
tin tubes and placed in one Wheel.
The first 368 Prizes, similarly printed and en
circled, are placed in another wheel.
The wheels are then revolved, and a number is
drawn from the wheel of Numbers, and at the same
time a Prize is drawn from the other wheel. The
Number and Prize drawn out are opened and ex
hibited to tlie audience, and registered by the Com

After 1858, on 2d and 3d Mondays in February and
3d Monday in August.
Hartford is an enterprising city, and in
some respects greatly ahead of its rela
tions.—For instance; they have been in
the employment of a species of public
amusement, slightly novel, and exceed
ingly delicate, viz: a dance-bonse kept by
a colored gentleman, to which by paying
the moderate fee of 15 new cents, white
visitors had the privilege of dancing with
Dinah and Chloe, and Sukey, to the sound
of the viol and the piano. The Times in
forms us however, that it was considered
a little irregular, and the police visited it
a few evenings since, to-see what was go
ing on;whenthe curtain rose upon several
persons reputed to be excellent, and some
of them pious citizens! The consequence
was, that coat collars rose, and hats were
jammed down, and a complete stampede
took place; and “Flato,” the presiding de
ity, was ordered to disband his “graces,”
“hang up de fiddle and de bow,,” and quit
the city—which he did. *
Most of the “advice” afloat is written for
the benefit of wives alone, but the follow
ing is to other side of the house, and meets
with our hearty sanction:— “ When your
wife begins to scold, let her have it out.
Put your feet up cosily before the (replace,
loll back in your chair, light one of your
best cigars and let the storm rago on, say
nothing—make no reply to any thing.
Well, a little more advice, if you please-
Haying placed yourself iu that position,
reflect whether you deserve the thundei
about your ears, aad if so,(which is proba
bly the case) put your feet gently down-
cease your ‘lolling,’ put out your cigar,

From the New Haven Register.
TmO or Iran lall.
Hon Lyman Hall, a native of Walling
ford in this county, and one of the signers
of the Declaration of Independence, was
among the early settlers of Georgia, where
he died. A handsome monument having
been erected by order of the Georgia leg
islature, over his resting place, the origi
nal head-stone was offered to the Legisla
ture^ of Connecticut, at its last session, by
Wm. D Antignac, Esq., of Georgia, (on
whose farm it stood,) and accepted, and
Gov. Holly Judg Storrs, and C. J. Hoad-
ley, appointed a committee to receive,
and attend to its setting in Wallingford.
It is now in Hartford, and is described by
the Press as follows:
The stone is of a blueish grey marble
considerably blackened by age upon the
upper surface. It ha^ been placed ovsr
the grave as a tablet, aud is in a very good
state of preservatiou. In the spring, it
will be placed at Wallingford, the native
town of him whose memory it perpetu
ates. It bears the following inscrip
tion.
“Beneath this stone rest the remains of
the Hon. Lyman Hall, Esq., formerly
Governor of this State, who departed this
life 19th October, 1790, in the 67th year
of his age. Iu the cause of America he
was uniformly a patriot; in the iucumbeut
duties of a husband and a father, he ac
quitted himself with affection and tender
ness. But reader, above all, know from
this inscription that he left this probation
ary scene as a true Christian and an hon
est man.
“To those so mourned in death, so loved in life,
The childless parent and the widowed wife
With tears inscribe this monumental stone.
That holds his ashes and expects her own.”
Hair Specifics.
The number of hair specifics which are now
vended uud^ the astounding names of “Wa-
phene," “Tricopherous,” &c., is really wonder
ful. It is professed for thm that they restore the
hair, (curing baldness), prevent it falling out. give
it a beautifully soft aud glossy appearance, and
either kill or cure all the ills that hair “is heir to.”
Judging from the number of establishments where
such articles are manufactured, the quantity sold
must be prodigious: aud judging from the prices
at which they are sold, the profits arising from them
cannot be small. That some of these lotions are
good in their way, there can be no loom to doubt;
but the merits ot the best are greatly exaggerated
by those who sell them. Wo will give a few reci
pes for making such specifics, so that those of our
readers who wish to use them can make the pre
parations themselves.
No. 1.—Take eau de cologne, two ounces; tinc
ture of cantharides, half ounce; and add twenty
drops of the oil of lavender.
No. 2.—Take vinegar of cantharides, half an
ounce eau de cologne and rose water, each half an
ounce. *
No. 3.—Take an ounce of castor oil, mix it
thoroughly witha pintofalchohol,and half an oun
ce of the tincture of cantharides.
No. 4. Sulphuric ether one ounce, tincture of
cantharides one, olive oil ounce, alcohol one pint,
Those four recipes are sufficient. The first two
are from the w ork of Erasmus Wilson* F. R. S.
the author of an able treatise on cutaneous dis
eases. The last two recipes are followed by Per
sons who manufacture the article for sale, aud aro
better than the first two; they are capable of mak
ing excellent Tricopherous. both for keeping the
head clean, preventing the hair falling out, and, in
some cases, curing partial baldness. In using
them, the head should be brushed smartly with a
hard hair-brush, the lotion then applied with a
piece of sponge, the head brushed again, and a silk
nightcap put on. The best period to apply it ia
just b?fore going to bed, but it may also be used at
any time of the day.
The philosophy of such hair specifics consist in
considering decay in the growth of hair to be due
to an absence of vigorous action in the nerves of
the scalp. The tincture of cantharides excites ac
tion in these nerves, and its office is to restore vig
or to the hair, preventing its falling out, and pro
moting its growth. The oil keeps the skin soft,
and the alcohol tends to dissolve the scurf and
keep the scalp clean. The alcohol requires to be
ninety five per cent, or it will not dissolve the oil.
The tincture of cantharides can be purchased at
the druggist; but it can be made one-fourth chea
per by steeping one ounce of Spanish files in six
ounces of alcohol for twenty-four hours. Any per
fume may be used, but the oil of lavender is about
the cheapest.
The Tricopherous can be colored a beautiful
crimson by steeping a few chips of alkanet root
in it, or colored yellow by a litle bichromate of
potash, but the color adds nothing to the quality
of the lotion. An alkaline solution of honey is
recommended by some for restoring the hair in
cases of baldness, and a vinegar extract of horse
radish as a substitute for cantharides is described
in one of Erasmus Wilson’s specifics; bnt those we
have given are as good as any, and can be made
at a comparatively small cost.—Scientific Ameri
can.
Educate the whole Man.—Every body
should have his heatj; his heart, aifd hia
hand educated.—Let this truth never bo
forgoten.
By the education of his head, he will bo
taught what is good and what is evil—
what is wise and what is foolish—what is
right and what is wrong. By the proper
education of his heart, he will • be taught
to love what is good, wise and right, and
to hate what is evil, foolish and/wrong,
and by the proper education of his hand,
he will be enabled to supply his wants, to
add to his comforts, and to assist those who
are around him.
The highest objects of a good education
are to reverence and obey God, and to
love and serve mankind; everything that
helps ns in attaining these objects is of
great value, everything that hinders ns is
comparatively worthless. When wisdom
reigns in the head, the hand is ever ready to
do good—order and peace smile around,
sin and sorrow are almost unknown.
Nacspapers.— J udge Longstreet, whose
views on all subjects are practical, and
worth treasuring up, thus sets forth the
value ofa newspaper:
“Small is the sum that is required to pat
ronize the newspaper, and most amply
remunerated is the patron. I Care not how
humble and unpretending the gazette
which he takes, it is next to impossible to
fil it fifty-two times a year without putting
into it something that is worth the sub
scription price. Every parent whose son
is off from home, at school, should supply
him with a paper. I still remember what
difference there was between those of my
schoolmates who had, and those who had
not access to newspapers. Other things
being equal, the first were decidedly su
perior to the last in debate and composition
at least. The reason is plain, they have
command of more facts! Youth will pe
ruse a newspaper with delight when they
will read nothing else.”
C?»It is a singular fact that not only
the President of the United States, the
two United States Senators from Penn
sylvania, and the State Supreme Court
Judge, but the present Speaker; Clerk
and assistant of the House, the Clerk of
the Senate of Pennsylvania, and the Dem
ocratic candidates for Governor and Canal
Commissioner are all practical printers.
Case of Water Kill.—One of the priso
ners at Sing Sing died a few days since
while undergoing a shower-bath punish
ment.
A correspondent of the London Builder
suggests th^t in the upper sash of every
window there should be inserted a framed
pane that will open on hinges; and thia
should be compulsory, becaus in numerous
instances the upper sashes of windows
are fixed, compelling people to expose
themselves to the evil influence of draughts
from opening the lower sashes of their win
dows.
Tell me, ye winged winds, that round my
pathway roar, do ye not know some spot
where women fret no more? Some lone
and pleasant dell, some “holler” in the
S ound, where babies never yell, and era-
es are not found? The loud wind blew
the snow into my face, and sniekered as it
answered, “Nary place.”
The Texas legislature has passed a
