Alarming Scene in a Theatre.— Rather a
serious accident occurred at Niblo’s on Tues
day night, at the commencement of the per
formance of the Fete Chamepter.
As Miss Adele Lehman was ascending a
short ladder, which had been inadvertently
placed too near the side lights, her dress took
tire from one of them, and she was almost in
stantly enveloped in the blaze. One of the
Ravels, who was standing on the other side
of the stage, seized a blanket, which was, for
tunately, lying close at hand, and wrapping
it around her, extinguished the flames, but
not until she was quite seriously burned.—
Medical aid was immediately pn attendance.
Miss Lehman is one of the worthiest ladies
upon the stage; she will be disabled from per
forming probably for several days,
A Novel Patent. —By reference to ou r
list of Patents, it will be seen that Mr. T. D*
Stagg of this city, has just received a patent
for a new way of preparing beef stakes for
cooking. He passes the steak between a pair
of toothed rollers, previous to cooking, which
has the effect to make the meat very tender.
To all that chews, the use of the machine will
no doubt be a convenience.

THE BEST REMEDY
I NOR COUG HS, COLDS & CONSUMPTION
1 ever used in New Jersey, says the Plainfield
Union, of September 26, 1848, is Wistar’s Balsam
ot Wild Cherry, which has been so d in that State
a number of years, and after this long trial, we
are enabled confidently to state, that it has given
better satisfaction, and more of it has been sold
and used, than any other Patent Medicine for the
same disease —and we have no doubt it is the best
medicine now before the public for the diseases
for which it is advertised. It has, in many cases
done great good, affording much relief to the sick
and afflicted, anti we safely recommend it to all
who are troubled with Coughs, Coids, Consump
tion and all other diseases of the Lungs, as a val
uable, safe and most useful medicine.
From the Dedham (Mass.) Gazette,Feb. 18, 1349
The introduction ol this famous medicine to the
public by iSetli W. Fowle, has been of more ser
vice, probably, than any other article that has
yet been discovered, and has effected more cures
oi various complaints that “flesh is heir to,” than
all the miserable compounds that have ever yet
been trumpeted throughout the country. The
numerous certificates in his advertisement fully
substantiate the virtues of it.
Beware of imposition. Remember the original
and only genuine Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cher
ry, always bears the wiitten signature of I. Butts
on the outside wrapper.

BLISS’SCOMPOUND COD LIVER
OIL CANDY.
THE ORIGINAL and ONLY GENUINE.
THIS admirable remedy for cougns, colds, in
fluenza, asthma, bronchitis, and all affec
tions of the throat and lungs, has now been before
the public for the past year, dming which time it
has been tested most thorougnly by the most com
petent to decide upon its merits. Every one
knows the virtues of Cod Liver Oil, but it is like
a “ sealed book” to thousands of suffering in
valids, on account of its repulsive taste and smell.
The proprietor has entirely obviated this without
detracting from the medicinal virtues of the oil,
by combining it with certain other celebrated cu
ratives, in the form of a most agreeable article of
confectionary, by which it can be administered to
the most delicate invalid without the least incon
venience. The medical influence of the candy
pursues the exact track of the inflammatory ac
tion, causing cough. First soothing the organs of
the voice, the seductive infl ences passes along
the mucuius lining of the windpipe into the bron
chit, and allaying pulmonary irritation, giving ease
and comfort to the chest, restoring the voice to its
accustomed clearness and powers; congealed
phlegm, acrimony in the fluids, and obstructions
in the glands are gently and safely discharged by
easy expectoration. It ."ever disagrees with the
stomach —a common cold yields to its benign in
fluence in a few hours, and when resorted to be
fore tbe complaint is far advanced, all dangers of
consumption is entirely prevented. Purchasers
must beware of counterfeits, as its rapidly in
creasing popularity has excited the cupidity ol
certain druggists and confectioners, who are pre
paring an article under the same name, put up in
similar style, with a copy of the former wrappei,
and are thus endeavoring to palm their miserable
imitation upon the public as the gmuine article
Be sure and call for Bliss’s Compound Cod Liver
Oil Candy, which will in future be enveloped in a
new and elegant wrapper, bearing appropriate
designs,representing the codfisheries on our coast,
and persons engaged ii the manufacture of the
Oil. Also a fac-simlle of the signature of tne pro
prietor, withont which n ne can be genuine.
