THURSDAY MORNING JUNE 8. Fourth of July Celebration at New Harmony. The Order ot the Sons of Temperance at New Harmony are to have a grand celebration, procession and oration, on the 4th of July next, and have invited the neighboring Divi sions to meet with them on that occasion. We learn that the two divisions in ou r city are making arrangements at this early day, and that from one to two hundred will go from here. In fact there is a rivalry existing which of our Divisions shall send the largest delega tion; and if the weather be favorable our Har mony friends may look out for a large caravan from this quarter. The Princeton, Mt. Ver non, Newburg, Henderson, and perhaps other divisions will no doubt attend, and we look forward to a grand cold water display on our national anniversary. The Sons of New Har mony deserve to be kindly remembered by their brethren elsewhere, and we know that a hear ty welcome and a pleasant time awaits those who may go. We shall endeavor to be pres ent. Tri-Weekxy Mail to Salem Illinois. We learn that there are exertions making by the citizens of Graysville, Albion and Fairfield 111., to procure a tri-weekly" mail from this city running through New Harmony and those towns to Salem, 111.,; and in order to Becond the exertions of our neighbors of South Eastern Illinois, petitions have been drawn up and are in circulation in this city and at New Harmo ny. Every business man in this community is aware that the sustaining trade of Evansville is drawn from South Eastern Illinois, that a large soope of country embracing some nine or ten counties, relies solely upon this place for a market, or would do so if there were any means of communication with us. At present we have a weekly mail to New Harmony ,but Deyonainai we are not aware mat mere is any certain means for transmitting letters, &c. With a tri-weekly mail in two horse coaches, running to Salem, which is a distributing office, a great amount of benefit would at once be conferred upon the people along the whole route, and the trade of that section would flow in upon Evansville four fold. It is time for our citizens to make some exertion to secure this trade before it is snatched from them by some more enterprising community. We have not time this morning to say more about this matter but we shall speak of it again; and we hope every business man in this community will see the necessity of speedy action and call at Mr. C. Bell's Drug Store and sign the memorial. River and Harbor Improvement. The se curity of the lives of tens of thousands of our ci tizens, and hundreds of millions of property depend upon the prosecution of ourRiverand Har bor improvements. The great West and South West are more deeply interested in this than in all other national questions, for it effects their business relations. Last year a conven tion was held at Chicago, consisting of men of all parties and from all sections of the Union, to concentrate the public aUentionand influence the governmantal action, in reference to these great constitutional works. . Many of the leading men of both parties at tended, and many others who could not, ad dressed letters to the Convention, fully dis closing their views and opinions, The late Silas Wright frankly and coidiaUy endorsed the objects of the Convention, and ably sup ported the necessity and constitutionality of these improvements. - General Lewis Cass was invited and be ing a western man,' and supposed to be favorable to Western interests, his attendance, at least his approval, was expected. ... But the General had his eye on Southern votes, and this, among other "circumstances' induced him to return the following answer: " . Detroit, May 29th, 18-17. Dear Sir: I am obliged to you for your kind attention in transmitting me an invitation to attend the Convention on Internal Im provements which will meet in Chicago in Ju y. Circumstances, however will put it out of my power to be present at that time, lam, dear sir, respectfully vours, LEWIS CASS. . W. L. .Whining, Esq.

It is now pretty well settled, sayslheJJewburypbrt Herald, a whig paper, that General Taylor will be nominated for President, by the whig "con vention, and Abbott Lawrence for Vice Presi dent. .' i"V"V-V' ' "" " ' ' ' A Murderer Arbested.

Costinestal Acquisition. The Cincinnati ; Gem. Taylor is Tennessee. Doubts havGazctte correctljr says that the annexation of I ing been expressed whether Tennessee would

Texas w as a Southern project, to increase and strengthen the political supremacy of the South, and to extend the area of Slavery. In this project, Northern Locofocoism united in sufficient numbers to effect its execution, and thereby inflicted the people with evils and burdens, political and national, theruinousextentwhereof cannot be predicted, as they are daily transpiring and increasing in magnitude. Still the clamor for "more territory" was successfully raised by political demagogues, and Jas. K. Polk nominated and elected upon the issue. This result caused the Locofoco Presidential aspirants to favor territorial acquisi tions, as the means of acquiring popularity. First we had the cry of " the whole of Oregon" -i-next "the conquest and annexation of the whole of Mexico" and now we have not only Continental acquisitions, but "the islands ad jacent," also. General Cass, the Locofoco Presidential nom inee, was for the whole of Oregon, and expressed a desire to"swallow the whole of Mexico,'' but iis next friend, in the Baltimore Convention, Mr. Senator Hannegan, is reported to have spoken as follows: . ' Mr. Hannegan then took the platform and made a short speech. He wanted cannon on each side of the church to hail the nominations with gunpowder. Europe was sending back greetings to out land; yes, Priest-ridden and Monarchy-ridden Europe was following the example of the youngest daughter of the earth. We are now twenty-nine States. (A .voice cried out "thirty.") Yes, thirty; for Wisconsin is here to-day. Others would soon come in, too, New Mexico, California and Oregon; yes, lost Oregon said he, (which was received with cheers) will soon join ns. (A voice, Yucatan?) No, said Mr. Hannegan, but a richer province may soon come, Cuba (this was received with loud cheers) may be, too, Jamaica. (Cheers.) . The time was, when this insane cry about acquiring Mexico, California, lost Oregon; Cuba and Jamaica, might have caught the popular ear, but we have too much confidence in the people to entertain the opinion that they can be again deceived, especially when they count the lives which the Mexican acquisition has already cost, and the millions of Debt it has already accumulated. Cass may assure the dearpeople that he wants "to swallow the whole of Mexico," and Hanheqan may add the ''Islands adjacent' to the Locofoco candidate's powers of deglutition, but the people will not again be humbugged by such proclamations of political jugglery, and when the exhibition takes place on the idies of November next, we predict that the great Lo cofoco juggler will find himself a choked man. Gen. Cass a Federalist. About a month ago, and previous to the meeting of the Baltimore Convention, we stated that Gen. Cass was an old Federalist and wore the black cockade. We did not make the assertion at random, as is the practice of the locofocos, but from a knowledge of the fact acquired when we were a boy in the Rr publican office at Nash ville, iennessee, during the days of the Jackson dynasty. The charge was then made against Gen. Cass and the evidence sustaining it was produced, which silenced the few friends Gen. Cass had in that State at the time. Our neighbor of the Democrat, hovyever, who hates Federalists as he does the cloven footed imp himself, denied no he didn't deny that we stated the fact but he laughed at it, as much as to say prove it, if you can. . Well, sure enough the proof is at hand, oceans of it,, and now we expect to' see our neighbor turn upon poor Cass with "all the spitefulness of his na ture. It was a shabby trick in the Baltimore convention to nominate an old black cockade Federalist as the democratic candidate for the Presidency, and our neighbor wont stand it of course. He support a federalist indeed! But the proof, or rather a part of it. The forty-seventh volume Niles's Register 18 speaking of Gen. Cass, says: But the fact is that when bis father Major cass.a gallant omcer ot toe revolution and an accomplished officer of the old school, superin tended the recruiting in Delaware in lvyy louo, tor what was called ihe provision-eating army, he (the present Gen. Cass) w;as the pre ceptor ot the grammar school in Wilmington and always appeared with a black cockade in his hat, and so we see it stated in the Dela ware Journal as being in the present recollec tion of many of the citizens of Wilmington. There! As the Louisville Journal says, a more eminently respectable paper tha& Nil es"s. Reg ister was never published in this or any o'thet country. . What it states as truth is always ful ly relied on as truth. ' What has the Demo crat to say to the above? .. A mere suspicion of a Whig being tainted with federalism is suf ficient to stir up the blackest bile in our neigh bor, what then will be the consequences to him of this expose of his candidate's former principles and associations? We shall see." A Singular Plant.; A communication has been eecentlj made to the London Linnaean Society, covering a letter from the northern part of India, giving an account of a plant found there, which, when chewed, actually destroys the power of the tongue to appreciate the taste of sugar. It is thegymnema sylvestre; nat. ord. asclepiadecB, and goes by the name of Indian plant. Two hours after chewing some of the leaves the aroma of tea could be appreciated but the sugar with which it was sweetened could not be detected. -The -impression re mains about twenty-four hours: sugar all the while feeling like sand on the tongue. It is suggested that this may lead to some important physiological discoveries in regard to the organ of taste. . "v. : The House of Representatives. The elec tion of two Locos to the House from Wiscon sin, makes the whole number of Locos 1 11; the number of Whigs 116.. . There are three vacan cies, viz: one in South Carolina, occasioned by the death of Mr. Black, Loco one in Seneca and Wayne district, New York, occasioned by the death of Mr. Holley, Whig the other in the city of New York, occasioned by the reso lution of the House declaring Mr. Jackson's (Loco) seat vacant. . The result of a new tria in the last district, and also in the Seneca dis trict, 13 very uncertain. The South Carolina vacancy will of course be filled by a Loco. If one of the New York vacancies should be filled with a Whig and the other with a Loco, the full House would stand-117 Wnigs to 113

vote for Taylor in the Whig National Convention, the Nashville Whig devotes an article to the consideration of the individual preferences of every delegate. As far as heard from, eleven dist ricts have a p poi n ted delega tes; three -fourth s have instructed their representatives to sustain Gen. Taylor, and the remainder have selected gentlemen who are known to be in favor of the nomination of Old Rough and Ready. The only Clay Whig appointed is Gov Jones, in the 7thdistrict, and his vote will be controlled by Messrs. Bell & Gentry, his associates who are ardent Taylor men. Irr respect to the vote of Tennessee, the Memphis Enquirer of the 20th, says: Tennessee is generally set down as doubtful, and we think correctly, because we do not yet know the leader under whom the great battle is to be fought. If Clay be the nominee, or McLean, or Scott, then we look upon the result of the approaching Presidential election in this state as extremely doubtful. But if Zachary Taylor be the nominee, or apparently the choice of the American people, and if he continues candidate, then the result of the -elec

tion in Tennessee is as certain, as fixed as fate itself. Taylor can carry this State against all odds, unless feuds and the most besotted folly reign in the Whig ranks. It is unnecessary to state the premises upon which we build the foregoing conclusions they are apparent to every candid man. Lletjt. Deas. Every body will remember Lieut. Deas, who, at the commencement of the Mexican war, swam the Rio Grande, Leander like, to meet a Mexican maid, and was taken prisoner. Since that time, Lt. Deas has been actively engaged in the service; .and for his gallant conduct at Monterey was promoted to the captaincy of the 4tb artillery. But it appears from some cause or other, that he has got into more trouble with that strict disciplinarian Gen. Wool, and has been court martialed and sentenced to be dismissed the service, which sentence was approved by Gen. Wool, at Monterey. He is now on his way home, to await the issue of an application to the Executive in his behalf by many inflential personal friends in the army and elsewhere. Profitable Steamboating on the Hudson. An affidavit filed in the Supreme Court in relation to a suit at law, says the Tribune, states the profits of one those floating palaces, the Isaac Newton or Hendrik Hudson, for the last year, to have been $60,0D0. G3The steamer Clarksville was burned at the foot of Ozark island, on the evening of the 27th ult. Capt. Holmes and about thirty pas sengers and the crew were lost. The cabin passengers were all saved. We subjourn an account from the Memphis Eagle of last Tuesday: Our city was full yesterday of rumors of the destruc tion ot the favorite and beautiful Memphis and New Orleans packet, Clarksville, and the loss of life and property accompanying it. The fire by which this noble boat was destroyed. was first discovered about a mile below Ozark Island No. 75, 5 or 6 miles below Napoleon, at half past five, Saturday evening. The pilot remained at bis post till she ran round the Island and headed it. . In a very few minutes after the discovery of the fire, the beat struck the ground, when tny of the passengers might have gotten on the forecastle, and thence reached the Island. As soon as she struck, the flames, hitherto driven back by the current of air, burst thro' up into the cabin. All the passengers who had gone forward to the forecastle were saved by stepping on shore; those who had remained in the aft -cabin, fear ing an explosion, were compelled to jump overboard at the stern, which lay out to the current. AH the cabin passengers, so far as could be ascertained, were saved. Of the deck passengers, two white ladies and an infant child were lost. Capt. Holmes and one white deck hand, Charles Quinn, were lost. Fourteen colored persons were lost, among whom was Sam, servant of Gov. Poindexter. One of the boilers burst soon after she struck; and' subsequently, three kegs of powder in the hold. Neither of these accidents caused any ascertainable injury:. ' "." ;T Gov. Poindexter and lady were both injured; the former slightly,' and latter severely. Mr. Barrow and Mrs. Lofton of thi3 place were slightly injured. Most of the passengers lost their baggage. None of the officers or crew, except the mate and barber, saved their baggage. -".;..-- . . Mr. Vaught, 1st clerk, escaped without hat, coat, or baggage, but ecved the money and papers of the bont. - - ' ' - ' ' - ' ' . - . Of the manner in which Captain Holmes met his death there is no minute : evidence. . Mr. Whitman nforrns us that after he (Mr. W) had assisted Mrs. Holmes and her neice, who escaped in their night clothes, in., the forecastle, he saw Capt.' Holmes go back to the ludies1 cabin. He learns that Capt. II. there proceeded to compel the ladies, who alone remained to take chairs with life preservers attached, and leaplnto the water, which they were reluctant to do." Having succeeded in this sensible and hu mane at tempt, he proceeded to throw baggage from the burning boat. When last seen he was in the act of leaping, apparently weak and strangled by the smoke from the upper guard He failed to clear the lower gnard, struck it, and a volume of smoke closed over the gallant and true-hearted officer.. He no longer numbered with the living, and perished in the stern and courageous discharge of a high , sense of duty. . . ! i The accident was beyond the prevention of man. The fire originated immediately above the boilers. under the social hall, and defied all energy and la bor. ' - ' ' I , A Beautiful Thought. Life is beauti fully compared to a fountain fed by a thousand streams, that perish if one be dried. It is a silver cord twisted, with a thousand strings, that -part asunder ifane be broken.

Another Astonishing Invention. The Copying Telegraph. There seems to be no limit to human ingenuity and invention. Before we rease j0 wonder at one triumph of human intellect and skill, we are called on to notice another still more wonderful. In

trie London Spectator of the 15th . ult., "we find ihe following notice of a newly in vented telegraph machine, in comparison wiili which all former inventions are small aflVus: : The Poslojfi.ce superseded. The Post master General' Col. Maberly, and Mr. Rowland Hill, may set their house in order. ana prepare lo evacuate est. ftlartinVle(irande; for they will soon have :o exclaim with Othello: 'Our occupations gone!" It seems, indeed, a hard case, after so much hard labor to improve the postal communica lions of the country, nnd after steam has done its utmost to hasten the mail-bags to all parts of the kingdom, that the well planned arrangement and excellentmachinery should come lo nought, b'it even they must submit lo fate and scientific invention. Not many months have' passed since we noticed Mi. BainYingenious Marking Electric Telegraph, by means of which symbols representing letters of the alphabet, are marked on paper by eleciricity, and we pre dicted (hat means would soon be found of transmitting along the telegraph wires exact copies of written communications. What we then deemed probable has now been realized. We have this week seen a specimen of writing by the Copying, Telegraph invented by Mr. F. C. Bakewell, wherein words traced Irom the original were legibly copied on paper by an instrument that had no con nexion with the one to which the transmitted message was applied, excepting by the usual wires from the voltaic battery- The letters traced on the paper appear of a pale color, on a dark ground formed by numerous lines drawn close together. The communications thus traced we understand, may be transmitted at the rate ol 500 letters of the alphabet per minute of ordinary writing; and were short-hand symbols employed, the rapidity of transmission would be quadrupled. When this means of correspondence is in operation, instead ot dropping a totter into the postuffice box, and waiting days for an answer, we may apply it directly lo the Copying Telegraph, have it copied at the dis tant town in a minute or lea, and receive a fpplv, in our correspondent's handwriting, almost as soon as the ink is dry with which lt was penned. There are various means,too for preserving the secrecy of correspondence; the mostcuriou3 ot which ia-, that the writing may be rendered nearly invisible in all piris but the direction, until us delivery u the person for whom it is designed. The operations of the Copying Telegraph are not limited to tho tracing of written characters. Letter press printing may be copied with even greater rapidity than writing, and fac simile copies of the morning papers may thus be transmitted lo Liverpool and Man Chester long before the papers themselves are delivered to their readers in London. The means by which these', astonishing effects are produced we are not at present permitted tos'ale,as the invention is not yei protected; but we are assured that the method is simple, and that the mechanism is neither costly nor likely to get out of order. i is, indeed, one of the peculiar fa ilures ol he Copying Telegraph that it - cannot com mit errors, because thw communications it tianmits are fac-similes of the original writing. " THE JACQUAkD MACHINE ITS INVENTOR. At the recent soiree of the Bolton Mechnncs1 Institute, England, Dr. Bovvrmg told the interesting story of Jaequard the inventor of i he loom. He said, "I do not know, my friends, whethei you have heard the name of Jaequard or the Jaequard loom, which intioduced so great an improvement into the manufacture of silks. 1 saw the old man. only a lew days before bis death. The city of LyonsHii which he was born, and in which he had been terribly persecuted during Ids early life, lelt that it was due to him to make his declining age happy, and they gave him a liberal pens on, which enabled him to pass the evening of his life in tranquility and peace and to purchase a pretty villa, to which was attached a beautiful garden, where I had an opportunity of hearing from his lips the his tory of his own experience.- - Perhaps yon will allow me to repeat to you a few remarks of that extraordinary man, made to me, seated with hint in his own bower, fairly , and truly under the shade of his own vine and his own fig tree, and on a beautiful summer even ing when I he sun was setting, and when the decline hud setlins of that sun reminded me ihat the sun of Jaequard was setting alao,for he was weak, and about to be lost to his generation., Jaequard was a straw manu facturer m the city of Lyons, he was a poor man, and he had received but little instruction. .; During the war with England there was an article appeared in the French Moniteur, which stated that a person in England hud offered a large sum of mony to any person who could produce a machine by which a net could be made. This set him to work, and he did get over the great difficulty of produ cing a machine by which a knot could be ti ed. ' The thing was forgotten, and by some accident this net was given to the great Era peror Napoleon, and he was told that a poor man on the banks of the Rhone had solve a a very great problem. Jaequard, in great poverty one day and scarcely knowing how to exist, was surprised by the visit of a sergeant of gens d'arms, who knocked at the duor.He came down stairs, and the seageait said "I have orders to lake you to Paris.' 1 ' He said, "Who has sent for me at ParsT' he was told "Why, you Will hear that wneu you gel there.- : There is a carriage waiting for you." He said "I must send for my wife, and make preparation but the sergeani said, "No, you must go as you are," end he was taken to the palace of the Tuilleries,and introduced immediately to two persons no less distinguished than Napoleon Bonaparte and his great minister Carnot. Napoleon said, "They tell me you saj that you can tie a knot in a straight siring (for 'that is the art of knitting.) by a piece of machinery; I don't believe you." ; He continued, "now in order to try you, I will have you locked up in an apartment and supplied with materials upon which to work, and everything you re quire to make your machine." .Well Jaequard set to workr so locked up. and- constructed a machine, was covered with honor, continued io direct his attention to mechanical ar's, and afterward produced

thai machine which bears his name, to which I have referred, and which improvement in the loom, by merely throwing the shuttle across the warp, produced the most beautiful -. patterns. These machines produced a revolution in France, twice they rose upon Jacquard,and twice they attempted to drown him in the Rhone. There was the same vio-. lence in this country. 'There was a crusade against knowledge and improvement, and no thing but the power of those who were his

friends could have secured his life from dan ger, or his person from outrage. He withdrew himself from the world for many years still attempting to be the benefactor of his native land. Opinions changed, however, and, as I told you, before he died, he was the recipient of a liberal pension, not only from the city of Lyon?, but from the French government. He died upon the property which was conveyed o him, the grateful gift of the people he had honored and elevated and when he was carried to his tomb, the city of Lyons declared that his portrait! should be painted and hung up in the school of Arts where I have seen it. This is an encouragement lor all men not to be deterred from gteat undertaking by (he rash and intolerant spirit of a moment; but to feel i ha t the prejudtces of time will pass away, and i, hat he who does honor and service to his country, will be acknowledged as his country's benefactor." - ' ' Manchesteh, N. H. Very few- persons out of New England are aware of the fact that a regular city of 15,000 inhabitants has lately sprung up in the heart of New Hampshire; and few o.fthose few, probably, are fully conversant with the circumstances of iia rise and progress. Where this city was ten years ago, was nothing but a plentiful growth ofpitch-pine trees, nnd less than half a dozen farm houses. The site which it occupies, on the east bank of the Merrim ic, was bought up by a manufacturing compmy of Bostonians, called the Land and Water Company. This company, disposing of a part of its sites for mills, other companies were formed, to the number of four or five; among which are the Manchester, the Siark, (so called afier Gen. John Siark, of Revolutionary fame, whose burial-place is here) and the Amoskeag the mills of which, by way of distinction, are called the Amoskeag New Mills, yi'lie number of mills is ten; all of which are of the largest dimensions, and give employmeut to 4,000 giils, besides men.- One of the mills, stopping at the time of our visit, seventy-eight giilslefi in the cars io spend a few Jays at ibeir respective homes We know not whether the plan on which the manulactutxing part of the city was built,was a borrowed one or was indigenous with the growrh of the city itself. Probably nothing precisely like it exists in this country. Beiween every two blocks of boarding-houses, where is ordinarily a street, are garden-pluis with a path a pathway running through ihem, longitudinally with the block, and equall) dividing them; while the rears of the same blocks are united to the rears ofoiher blocks; a paved cart-way separating in the manner of the garden-path. These are built next to the fat-lories on adeclivi'y, while the resi dences of the towns-people occupy the level above. The main sireet of the town is him street, which is a beautiful . street, : parallel with the river, and about a half a mile in length "-'-' - The fall of water obtained here is somewhere between 30 and 40 feci; so great thai the same water is used twice, viz: by two ducts or canals the one at a, considerable elevation above- the other, from which, the mills on it having been accommodated, the water is discharged into the lower and the secondary range of factories supplied. The width ot the Merrirnac here is apparently about eighty yards; and this, so fir as is to, be observed , in following it by railroad toConcoid; is about its average widih. - .. t - ?-. The conntry about Manchester is hilly and in a westerly direction . mountainous. Three quite large mountains are in fine view; the largest, called the Canoonick, is is apparently of 2,000 feet elevaiion . The smallest elevations are the Dodge and Orr mountains. ' OLD VIRGINIA VS. SUCKERDOM. An Illinois Sucker took a great dislike to a foppish young Virginian, who, a few weeks since, was fellow passenger wiih,him, on one of our steamboats. The Virginian was continually combing his hair, brushing his coal, or dusting his boots to all which movcmei.ts the Sucker took exceptions, as being whai he termed l,a leeile too darned nice, by half.'' He finally drew up Ins chair beside ihe Virinian, and begun 'Whar might you be from, stranger." "From Virginia, sir," politely answered the gent. ' : ' ' '''.' "From old Varginny, ! 'spose?1' says ihe Sucker. "Yes, sir, old Virginia," was the reply, "You are pooty high up in the pictures lhar, I 'spose,' contiued the first. .: - '1 don't know what you mean by that remark, sir," says the Virginian. "Oh, nuthin,' says the Sucker, "but thai you are despirate rich, and have been broughi up right nice." . -'I I the information will gratify you in any way," says the gehl, patronizingly, smoothing down his hair, "I beiong to one of the fir ft families " ' "" - "Oh, in course," answered the oucker. "Well, stranger, bein as you belong to the fust, I'll jest give you two of the lattest shoats in alllllinuise,ef you'll only find me a fella r that belongs to one of the second Virginny families." : ' ..

I know you are one ot the just 'cause you look jest like John Randolph?' . This mollified the Virginian the hint ol a resemblance to the statesman wa9 flitter ing to his feelings, and he acknowledged te-' lationship to the other. "He, you know," continued the Sucker, "was a descendant of the lngin gil, Pocahontas." .- - ' "You are right, sir," answered the other "Well, stranger," says the Sucker, "do you know thar is another queer thing allays puzzles me, and ir is this 1 never seed a Virginnyin that didn't claim to he either descended from an Ingin, John Randolph, or a nigger .

I Pi M I .iT 2 Hurt's Vegetable JLx tract, IS the only remedy that can be relied on for the per manent cure ofSpioal Complaints, Spasmodic Contractions, Irritation of the Nerves,, Nervous or Sick Headache, Nervous Tremors, Neuralgic Affections, Apoplexy, Paralysis, General Debiiity, Deficiency of Nervous and Physical Energy, and all Nervous Disorders, including the most dreadful of nil diseases that ever aiTect the human race Epilepsy, or Falling Sickness, Hysterical Fits, Convulsions, Spasms, &c This disease consists in a sudden deprivation of the senses, accompanied with a violent convulsive motion of the whole body. It attacks by fits, and after a certain duration goes off, generally leaving the sufferer in a Btuoor. attended with great weakness and exhaustion of the body. - . . Doctor Hart would impress it upon the Tiunas 01 the afflicted, that the Vegetable Extract is the only remedy ever discovered that can be relied on for the permanent cure of this most dreadful of all diseases. As its tendency is to insanity, madness and death, the most Skillfui. Physicians of Europe, as well as those ofour own country, have pronounced Epilepsy incurable. And it has been so considered by many, until this most important of all discoveries was made by Doctor S. Hart, nearly sixteen years since, during which time it has been performing some ot the most Remarkable Cubes upon record, and has ncqtiired a reputation which time alone can efface. Physicians of undoubted skill and experience, Mirritfters of various denominations, as well as hundreds of Mr eminent citizens, all unite in recommending the use of this truly valuable medicine to their paiients.charge, and friends, who are thus afflicted, as the only rem edy. We QroTE the Language used by those who have been cured bv .this valuable medicine. One says, l-I have suffered beyond my power of description, but now 1 rejoice in being lully restored to health and happiness." ' Another says, "I thank God I feel that 1 am a well man., 1 also feel it my duty to proclaim it to the ends of the earth, that those similarly afiiicted may find relief. Another, (who is an EaixxxT Lawter, and well known in this city.) says, "My son has been afilicted for years with Epilepsy, but is now enjoying good health lrotn the egetaDle x - I... 4'.....,. 11 r.n.. L, IVcUi.l.l .m-tIi, 1 r. lA sounded .'to the ends of the earth." Another says. "Language is entirely inadequate to express my gratitude to Dr. Hart, for having been the means, under the blessing of God, of restoring me to the eniovmpnt of good health, after having been afilicted with Epilepsy in its worst forms for more than twenty-three years and my morning and evening oblation of praise and thanksgiving shall continue to ascend to that God who has afilicted but to make me whole." Epilectic Fits Of twenty seven years and six months, cured by the use of this Truly Wonderful Medicine. - Read the following remarkable case of the eon of Win. Secore, Esq., of Philadelphia, afflicted with Epileptic Fits twenty seven years and six months. . Alter traveling through England, Scotland, Germany, and France, consulting the most eminent physicians, and expending for medicine, medical treatment and advice three thousand dollars, re turned with his son to this country, in November last, without receiving any benefit whatever, and was cured by using Hart's Vegetabijl Extract. Mr. Wm. Secore's Letter to Dr. Hart: I have spent over three thousand dollars for medicine and medical attendance. 1 was advised to take a tour to Europe with him, which I did. I first visited England. I consulted the roost eminent physicians there in respect to his case; they examined him and prescribed accordingly. I remained there three months without perceiving aiy Changs for the better, which cost me about two hundred and fifty dollars, pocketed by the physician, and the most that I received was their opinion that my son's case was hopeless and Positively Incurable. I accordingly left Enfland, traveled through Scotland, Germany and Vance, and returned home in tbe month of November last, with my son as far from being cured as when I left, : I saw your advertisement in one of the New York papers, and concluded to try Hart's Vegetable Extract, seeing your statements and certificates of so many cures, some of twenty and thirty years standing, and lean assure you I am not sorry 1 did so, as by the use of Hart's Vegetable Extract alone, he was restored to Perfect Health. His reason, which was bo far gone as to unfit him for business, is entirely restored, with the prospect now before him ot life, health and usefulness. He is how 28 years of age. and 27 years 6 months of this lime has been afflicted with this most dreadful of diseases, but, thank God, is now enjoying good health. . Now, sir, faith without works I don't believe in. To say 1 shall be ever grateful to you is one thing and as I here enclose ycu one hundred dollars, 1 have, no doubt but you will thi.tk this another and quite a different thing . The debt of gratitude I still owe you, but please accept this amount as interest on the debt in advance. Yours, very respect'iilly, (Signed) . - WILLIAM SECORE. Another remarkable Cure performed by Ihe use of Hart's Vegetable Extract. Doctor Hart: It is with no small degree of gratification that I am enabled to announce to you the complete restoration to health of my daughter, by the use of your Vegetable Extract. At the age of six years, iner age at present is sixteen; sne was nrsi attacKea with this dreadful malady called Epileptic Fits; and until she commenced taking the Extract, she nullered with attacks of fits, almost incessantly, and so severely as to threaten to drive reason from its throne, and render her insane Idiotic. ' . Physicians pronounced her incurable, and cauld do nothing more for her. W e had almost despaired of a cure, w-hen hearing of the remarkable cures performed by the Vegetable Extract, we determined to give it a trial. The result hasexceeded our mostsanguine expectation, by its use she is free from a most dreadful malady, and restored to Perfect Health. Should any one feel desirous of seeing her, and of ascertaining the particulars of the case, such wish may be gratified by calling on or addressing a letter to me, past-paid, at my residence, two miles from the. village oi Yonkers, Westchester, New York. O. C. DEINSLOW, Yor.kersN.Y. Teething. Worm, Costivenesa. &c, will produce this disorder. In all such cases the Vegetable Extract is ihe only medicine which can be relied on .with any degree ot safety. Mothers who have small children should remember this. - Many, a Child, the past year, who has suffered with this complaint, and has been given over by physicians to die, has been restored by -the use of but one bottle of Hart's Vegetable Extract. The child of William Anderson, North Fourth street, Williamsburgh, aged 20 months, had fits constantly for eight weeks. A consultation of physicians was called, who decided -that the case was a hopeless one, and the child must die. Whilst the child was in this dangerous state Mr. Anderson called at my office and obtained a bottle of the Extract, administered it to the child, and the result was a perpect rstoration of health. The eon of Mr. Robert MeGee, corner of Sullivan and Prince streets, New York, was severely afilicted with fits. In this case aJso the physicians held a consultation and decided that they could do no more and that nature must effect its own cure, or the boy must die. The Vegetable Extract was administered to him whilst in a fit, by one of the attending physicians. Ita effects were almost instantaneous, 'i he tits was broken, and the boy restored to health, 53 r. McGce says, "I shall neveragain be without the medicine in my house, it I can avoid it, for fear that some of the rest of my children may be attacked in the same way. I consider the medicine invaluable. We would refer to the following person, w ho have been cured by using Hart's Vegetable txtract. W. Bennett, nine years, 171 GrandK. . , ' J.
