MILLS’ COMI‘OHAD c;X TRACT OF
TOMATO PILLS,
The celebrated substitute for !'.a tom-el. the original
and only genuine Tomato Pill.
TURPIN. D’AN'IIGNAC & Co., Druggists, Au
gusta, having been appointed by the proprietor of
the above valuable medicine, wholesale Agents,
have just received a supply and are prepared to
furnish it at the lowest Eastern prices.
By reference to the newspapers of the past few
.years, it will be seen that this is the artic e that
has been so much landed by men of science.
The nostrums so d in this country, under the
nameof lomato Pills, were got up long since the
original and genuine article was discovered,
sep 2 wss
TO THE FACULTY AND HEADS OF
FAMILIES.
DR. MILES’ COMPOUND EXTRACT OF
TOMATO —a substitute for Calomel, and
dues not belong to the family of quack medicines;
for the reason that the component parts are made
known to the faculty, or any one else that may
wish to know, by any of the agents keeping them
for sale. Since this discovery so long and anx
iously looked for, some one in almost the extreme
Nmth has advertised a Tomato Pill, purporting to
be made from the stalk, a thing not more absurd
than for one to offer meal from the com stalk, to
say nothing of the difficulty of raising the Tomato
so far North.
Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the proprietor of the
Tomato Pills (proper) for the great benefits of
which, ho holds himself bound, and in honor pledg
ed to prove by their use, that they arc all that they
profess to be. and will do for ol.hets what they
have done for such as mav have used them : as
this is a vegetable of great use, and value, it will
doubt ers be valuable information to families to
know that the Yellow arc just doubly as valuable
as the lied Tomato, and produces twice as much
-of the hapatine, or active principle,and when used
as a daily vegetable will be found to keep the
•system in much better condition than the other
kind ; many will recollect with what trembling
anxiety calomel has been given to children, and
how they then wished for a substitute, it has
long been known that the 'Tomato contained ca
thartic principles, but not until of late was it
ascertained that they contained alterative and diu
retic properties. The Faculty embrace and use
ttie preparation most cheerfully, for the reason that
they know what it is Were it a patent mystery,
they would he hound to reject the medicine, as they
justly do the one thousand and one cure-alls of tire
day. If you wish to cleanse the system with a
mild, sa e anti-bilious medicine, use the lomato
Pill, of which a supply, we learn, will soon he in
this city- Wo all know something about this.

ANTi-BALSAMIC GONORRIRF.AL SOLUTION,
Warranted lo cure in Five Days.
>HIS incomparable ami invaluable remedy so
■ long known, ami used with such unparralleled
success in tin- Canadas foe the last 30 yems, ap
pears to need no panegyric. Its operation upon the
human system is such that it invariably acts like
a charm, for the relief a.id radical cure of a certain
common and disng eeable ‘ ills the flesh is heir to.”
This prize obtains its own name from the certain
success which has attended it through all of its
trying circumstances, namely, "‘live days,”—the
same success which followed it in a Northern lati
tude still obtains in a more Southern. The formula
or recipe was obtained at great expense, intrigue
and hazard by W Chevercs, from the celebrated
Indian Chief Wabenothe, or Great Moon, whilst
he, with others was pursuing the lucrative Fur bu
siness in the North-west with the Indians. —
Wabenoshe prized highly and use it wit h hr variable
success throughout his two tribes. Its known and
valued virtues have already enriched to art a most
incredible extent the children of tins war ike prince,
not only by actual sale of the article itself to in
dividuals, tiut by parting with copies of his receipt
at enormous prices to the Chief of every tribe of
Indians in America, with a solemn promise to the
Great Spirit, never to divulge the ‘art of its com
position until he sleeps with his fathers,” although
free to use it in their respective tribes, which
places it in tile hands of every Indian who rely
with, I may say, religious confidence on its cura
ble powers.
lie ow is a copy of the translation as near as it can
be anglisized of the deed given by Wabenoshe. to
;VI. Clreveret, when lie purchased the original recipe,
and had twice assisted the Chief himself through
the tedious manipulatory process of manufacture
Few white men would credit the length of time
which is consumed in preparing the article for im
mediate use.
TRANSLATION.
“1. Wabenoshe, Chief of the nations Ottawa, and
Chippewa, for the love and good feeling which I
have for my white friend M. Chcveret, (for he has
done many good things for me and my people,) 1
give to him my greatest curs for the hid sickness
which my children have had sent among them as
a punishment by the Great Spirit, and hope that in
his hands it may do much good, and make him very
rich.”

fivTinv anii Siiki.lv.—We went out on the ;
lifi.e to-day, and were rowed by .Maurice, the
boatman employed hy i jord llyron, during his
residence here. Maurice speaks of the noble po
int with enthusiasm, and loves to relate anecdotes
of him. He told us, tht it Lord Byron never en
tered his boat without a case of pistols, which he
always kept hy him; a rery superfluous ceremo
ny. as Maurice seemed t a think. Ho represent
ed him as generally silen t and abstracti d, passing
whole hours on the lake absorbed in reflection,
and then suddenly wrilii ig, with extreme rapidi
ty. in a hook he always had with him. He des
cribed his countenance, to use his own phrase, as
••magii ff/uc .” and diffi- rent from that of all oth
er men, hy its pride, ( j'itrle was the word he
used. “He looked up al the heavens,” said Mau
rice. “as it he thought i t was his proper place,
or rather he accused it, ol ’ keeping hint here ; for
lie is a man who fears nn thing, nbiwe or bi.luw,
He passed whole nights 011 the lake, always se
lecting the most lioisterou s weather for such ex
peditions. I never saw a rough evening set In,
while ins lordship was a ( Diodalli,” continued
Maurice, “without being s tire that he would send
forme; and the higher the wind, and tire more
agitated the lake, the more he enjoyed it. We
have often remained ont eighteen hoinrs nt a time,
and in very bad weathi nr. Lord Byron is so good
a swimmer, that he hi is little to dread from the
water. Door Mr. (Si telly.” resumed Maurice,
“ah I we were all sorr y for him? Hr was a dif
ferent sort of man: so ■ genllo, so aflbcSionate, so
generous; he looked a s if ho loved the sky over
his head, and the wale r on which his boat float
ed. He would not hm tsi fly, nay, he would save
everything that had life; so tender and merciful
was his nature. He w as; too good for this world;
and yet, lady, would you believe it, some of his
countrymen, whom I huve rowed iln this boat,
have tried to make me t’hink ill of him; hut (hey
never e.udd succeed, foi we plain people judge hy
what wc see, and not i y what we hear." This
was, in language somewhat different, die senti
ment of our boatman's ac omit of Byron and
Shelly, two of the mos I remarkable spirits of the
age. Ho seemed to ad mire the first, but it is ev
ident he loved the si icond. How intellectual
must the intercourse of two such minds have
been; ami how advantageous to Byron must
have been the philanthropy, and Sclal freedom
from bitterness of Shel ly. Even the unworldli
ness of Shelly’s mind must have possessed an
additional charm in s« milling the- irritability of
Byron’s too sensitive gmd misanthropic disposi
tion ; soured and disg listed hy the conventional
habits and artificial so. rietv, from the trammels of
which he had hut Intel y broken, with the wounds
which it had inflicted on his feeling, still rank

A man with nn air half soldier, half mechanic

stows on them, for tormenting the long-legged
pigs, lanky dogs, and skinny cats, t hat unhappily

trim gardens redolent with (lowers, lb a are thick ■

growth of the flowers indicated the care bestowed

pride of their gorgeous hues; and every autumnal

I were green, and smooth as velvet; the gravel
walks displayed wot a single faded ieaf. or weed,
to sully their parity; and the hallustrades and rail

Liabilities til'Singe Owners.
At the late term of the Supreme Court of the
United States, a case was decided of great public
interest, and with the permission of Mr. I’elers,
the Reporter, we publish the points decided, and
which must hereafter rule the conduct of the pro
prietors of stage coaches.
\\ illium li. rtlokes, Plaintiff in Error, v». Fran*
cic W. Saltonslall.
hi Semptember. 1837, the Ifefendanl in Error,
Mr. Sullonstall, instituted an action in the Cir
cuit t'oiiit «l Mary land, for the recovery of dam
ages against the defendant, the owner of a line
of stages for carrying passengers Irom Baltimore
to Wheeling. On the 6th of December, 1836,
Mr. Sallonslall and his wife wore passengers in
the stage, and i\y the card ssness, unskilfulneM
and default of the driver, the stage was upset,and
Mrs. Sallonslall most severely injured. The ju
ry found a verdict for the plaintiff for .seven limit
mind dollars, and exceptions having been taken
to the charge of the Court, the defendant, Mr.
Stokes, prosecuted a writ of error to the Su
preme Court.
After full argument by very able Counsel, the
following principles were unstained by the unani
mous opinion of the Court, delivered by Mr. Jn.v
hce Barbour.
1. An action against the owner of a stage
coach used for carrying passengers, for an injury
sustained by the wile ul one of th* passengers,
hy tins upsetting ot the coach, the owner is not
liable, unless the injury was occasioned by the
negligence or want of proper skill or care in the
driver of the carriage, in which he and his wife
were passengers; and the facts that the carriage
was upset, and the plaintiff's wife injured, arc
prima. facie evidence that there was carelessness,
or negligence or want of shill on the pari of the
driver; and throws upon the defendant the bur
den ol proving that, the accident was not occa
sioned by the driver’s fault.
2. It being admitted that the carriage was-up
set and the pla miffs injured, it was jncumlwnt
on the defendant to prove that the driver was a
person of competent skill, of good habits, and in
, every respect qualified and suitably prepared for
the business in which he was engaged; and that
he acted on this occasion with remarkable skill,
! and with the utmost prudence and caution; anil
il the disaster in (jiieslion was occasioned by the
least negligence, or want of skill, or prudence on
his part, then the defendant is liahla in this ac
tion.
3. II (here was no want of proper skill, or care
or caution on the part of the driver, and the stage
was upset by the net of the plaintiff or his wife,
in rashly and improperly springing from it, then
the defendant is not liable to this action ; hut it
the want of proper skill or rare of the driver
placed the passengers in a state of peri), and they
bad at any time a reasonable grounj for suppo
sing the stage would upset, or that the driver was
incapable of managing the horses, tic plaintiff is
entitled to recover; although the jury may be
lieve, .bom the position in which the stage war
phi'Til by the negligence of the driver, tho ah
tempt of the plaintiff or his wife to escape may
have increased the peril, or even caused the stage
to upset; and although they may also find that
the plaintiff and his wife would have probably
sust; tilled little or no injury if they had remained
in th e stage.
4, Il the driver was a person of competent
skill, and in every • aspect (qualified and suitably
preps red tor the business in-which he wao enga
ged, and the accident was occasioned by no fault,
or want of skill or care on his part, or that of the
defen riant or his agents, hut by physical disability,
arising from extrema and unusual cold, which
rendered him incapable for the time to do his du
ly, the in the owner of the stage is not liable, in an
action for the'damages fur «n injury to one of
the pa iwengors.
Tit r. Vawpt a •/..—A living vampire has been
lately brought to London—the first, we believe,
I ever seen in England. By many this animal has
been usually classed vrith the phvenn. the unicorn,

ries, or to be nseo Vri comparisons and other fi
gure s of speech——poetic ally, Sir little was known
of it that the description of the- crocodile, with
whir h Lepidiis was entertained ami enlightened

Sea Serpent. Hi- thinks (he bout passed over a

at each end of them—is covered with scales the
size of a common plate—has a small head, resem

resemble I hem* of a snake. He was in the vicini
