Horrible Attempt at Assassination —On Sunday night last, a fiendish attempt at assassination was perpe rated at rail-haven, in Rutland county, Vt. The hired man el a farmer named Chatytcey E. Wood, living some what i emote from any neighbor, undertook to chop up his employer with a broad-axe as he was quietly sleeping in his bed. lie first struck him a blow over the left eye, making a dreadful gash, and then cut him twice severely on the thigh, after which Mr* W. escaped from him down stairs, armed himself, and returned to find the villa n had tied. It is said lie avowed that his object was to murder Mr. W., and then abduct his sister. The affair created great excitement, and some 150 persons turned out in pursuit of him, and he was finally arrested. Horrible.- -On the 30th nit., an elderly lady named Mary Addie died in the fourth story of house No. 152 Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn, leaving an only daughter, who had no means to bury her. She endeavored to obtain as- | sistance, but without success, until the stench became so great as to attract the attention of the passers-by, when the keeper ol the dead-house was directed to take the body away. It was so much decomposed that it was ne cossary to use a shovel to get the body in the coffin.

John W. Overall, Esq., has been chosen to deliver the annual poem on the same occasion, aisd it is the best selec tion that could be made within the state. The speech of Judge Meek before the Historical So ciety is highly praised, and, we see, is to be printed. [Mobile Tribune.

John Minor Botts, of Virginia.] Richmond, Va., July 9th, 1855. Messrs. IVm , S.Beers 6c Cos., Gents:— Considerations of du ty to the afflicted alone prompt me to send you this voluntary testimonial to the great value of “ Carter's Spmiish Mixture,” for that almost incurable disease, Scrofula. Without being disposed or deeming it necessary to go into the particulars of the case, 1 can say that the astonishing results that have been produced by the use or that medicine on a member of my own family, and under my own observation and superintendence, after the skill of the best physicians had been exhausted and all, the usual remedies had failed fully justify me in recommending its use to all who may be suffer ing from that dreadful malady. I do not mean to say that it is adapted to all constitutions, or that it will afford the same relief in all cases; for, of course I know nothing about that—but from what l have seen of the ef fects, 1 would not hesitate to use it, in any and every case of Scrofula, with persons for whom 1 lelt an interest, or over whom 1 couid exercise influence or control. Very respectfully, JOHN M. BOTTS. THOMAS M. TURNER & CO. JAS. 11. CARTER, BROOKS & CHAPMAN Ga ‘ I) ,\N FORTH & NAGLE, ju I y2o—wtwtillstSept Columbia, Ga. Diseases of the Liver. -When the celebrated Dr Bush declared drunkenness * as a disease, he enunciated a truth which the experience and observation of medical nu n is eve ry day confirming. The many apparently insane excesses of those who Indulge in the use of spirituous liquors, ma- be hiM accounted lor. The true cause of conduct, which is taken for Infatuation* isveiy frequently a diseased state of the Liver No organ of tne system, when deranged, produces a more* frightful catalogue of diseases. Aud if, instead ot applying remediest*> the manifestations of disease, as is to otlcn tlie case, physicians would prescribe with a view to the original cause, fewer deaths would result from diseases induced bv a deranged state of the Liver. Three fourths ot the diseases enumerated under the head of Consumption, have their seat in a diseased Liver. fSee Dr. Gunn’s great works.) Purchasers will please be careful to ask for DR. M'I.ANE’S CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS, and take none else. There are other Pills, purporting to be Liver Pills, now before the public. Dr M’Laue?

THE undersigned Board of Examiners at the Annual Commencement of this Institution, at present under the care aud management of the Rev. A. T. HOLMES, President, submit the following report: The Exercises occupied four days, during which the Clashes were subjected to a rigid and minute examination, in the presence of a large crowd, which resulted in the unanimous conviction that they had been faithfully and correctly taught. In all the departments there was mailc ed evidence of assiduity, zeal and competency on the part ot the different teachers. It was pleasant and giatifying to notice, that, in the Primary and Academic Departments the foundation of good education was well and thorough ly laid. Nor was there less cause for gratification in the exhibition made by the more advanced classes. The ex amination of the Collegiate Department in Algebra, Geom etry, Logic, Rhetoric, Philosophy, Chemistry, &c., gave satisfactory proof, that singular ability and faithfulness had prepared the young Ladies of that department lor the se vere trial. It was a common remark that the Institution on no former occasion, has given better evidence of its worthiness to be sustained, and that no previous Examina tion has reflected more honor upon the Faculty and pupils. The Concert, under the direction and management of Mr. I. F. Brandt, Prof, of Music, was a brilliant aflair.— It was principally confined to the young Ladies of the In stitution, who, in their singing and performance, satisfied a crowded audience that they had been trained by a master in his profession. The Commencement Sermon was preached in the Bap tist Meeting House, on Sunday July Ist, by Dr. J. S. Ba ker, ot Albany, and the Annual Commencement Address was delivered by Colonel Richard M. Johnson of Sparta, in the College Chapel, on Wednesday the 4th. The Ser mon and Address were .both much admired and will be published. With great pleasure and entire confidence we recom mend this Institution, a sit now is, to the people of South Western Georgia. Is there not sufficient public spirit and denominational pride to sustain it? Shall it sufler for want ol patronage, having done so much, during the last lour years, to promote Female Education, and having af forded such prool ot its claims to the confidence and sup port of its Iriends and the public? We hope not, wc be lieve not. The next term will commence on the first Monday in September, and will close about the tenth of December.— Let the opening of the next Term speak out, in plain, un mistakable language, that the Baptist Female College of South Western Georgia shall be sustained. The number of Pupils during the last Scholastic year, in all the departments was 115. DAVID JANES, 1 to P. SAVAGE, § E. DOUGLASS, S. G. HEARD, o R.M. JOHNSON, Si! * S. CLAYTON, £? J.S. BAKER, § WM.

OWING to the large amount of Counterfeit Pain Killci put up and sold as genuine by unprincipled men, wehave been obliged to resort to very expensive measures to protect ourselves pecuniarily, and the public from great injury, by buying and using their worthless counterfeits. Tne compar ative plain and simple style in which our Pain Killer has beeh put up, has made it very for those disposed, to im itate it very successfully, as far as its external app- arance, in style of bottle, label, and color of the article; but we need not say that the compound is a miserable, filthy production, and calculated to do great injury to Ihose who might use it with the confidence they have been accustomed to use the genuine Pyin Killer. Parties whose business it is to counter feit valuable preparations, do it in such a secret manner,that It is almost useless to attempt to punish tlum byl'gal meas ures, as it is difficult, and we might say impossible to bring the proof home to them. Considering the great difficulty in protecting ourselves and the public by prosecuting parties, wehave been to a very great expense in getting up a finely executed STEEL ENGRAVED LABEL, for our bottles. We also attach to our bottles a Steel Engra ved note of hand, which we issue as our obligation and the counterfeit which is held to be forgery by the laws of the United States, and which parties will not dare attempt to do. The great expense attending the getttng up and printing of these labels, will prevent the attempt to counterfeit thus ee scuring to the public that the article they purchase isthe gen uine Perry Davis’ Pain Killer, manulacturcd by Perry Davis &. Son, Sole Proprietors, The Pain Killer will be put up in anew style of panel bot tle, with the words DAVIS’ VEGETABLE PAIN KILLER, blown in the Glass. We have discontinued the use of the 37X cent bottles and now put up only four sizes, viz— li.'# cents, &> cents, 50 cents, and sl, per boltie. We have also a very fine Engraving on'&tone, for the Box labels, specifying the contents of the box, where and by whom manufactured. &c. We have also added to our Paru phetof directions and certificates, a cover beautifully finish ed, presentingon the first page a very excellent likeness of Perry Davis, the original inventor of the Pain Killer. The bottle labels, and one label ou each box, has also a correct likeness of Perry Davis, which it wi:l be impossible to coun terfeit successfully. We have been to this expense, that the public might have perfect confidence that they were getting the genuine article when they buy a bottle above described. To those who have so long used and proved the merits of our article, we would say that we shall continue to prepare our Pain Killer of thfr best and purest materials, and that it shall be every way worthy of their approbation as a family medicine „ . , PERRY DAVIS & SON, Providence,.
