Last Action in the Army. We are indebted to the War Department for the following despatch, just received: Union.

Headquarters. Department I'vm.x. AbQUARTERS, Puebla, Dec. 1, 1S47. Sir : Having been credibly informed that the enemy were in force at Matamoras with some artillery. uu iuui a miifMry aepot wa there established, at which a large quantity of munitions of warand other pub! it property had been collected, and also that several American soldiers were confined there in close ; prison, I moved from Tuebla towards that place at 7 j o'clock on the evening of the !2d instant, with one I piece of artillery and twenty-five men, under the com-: maDj of Lieut. B. Field, of the 3d artillery, and one: i i i j -i . . . - nuiiurt-u ina miny-uve men, consisting vt JoI. Hays Texas mounted riflemen, and of the Louisiana dragoons, under Capt. Lewis. Although retaided by the rain, which fell incessantly from 1(1 o'clock until 5, we arrived at Matamoras at 7 o'clock on the morning of the 22d accomplishing a march of fifty-four miles in twelve hours. Coming upon the advance guard of the enemy as we approached the town, they were charged, antl driven in upon the main body, when the whole fled along the streets towards a fbrwt lying in rtar of the place. The force of the charge, the suddetiness of their flight, and the various avenues by which Uiey retired, render it difficult to form a satisfactory estimate of their numbers, which is variously computed at from four to six hundred. In this short and sanguinary action, from sixty to eighty of the enemy were killed and wounded, without tiie loss on our part of a single man. Among the killed was Col. Piedras, commanding at Matamoras, two captains of artillery, and other officers of various grades. Twenty-one American soldiers were set free and restored to the service, armed with muskets, and mounted upon horses taken from the enemy. Three pieces of artillery a small one, a long six, and a long twelve-pounder all of bronze, and in good firing condition, twelve tons of shot of all calibres, twelve boxes fixed ammunition, twenty-seven bales escopet and musket balls, ieven bales slow and quick matches, rive hundred muskets, five hundred sabres, one hundred horses, a large quantity of medical stores, and other public property, fell into our hands ; and, with the exception of the artillery, the fixed ammunition, the muskets and sabres, all were destroyed in conse quence of my inability to procure additional means of transportation. The remainder of the day was employed in refreshing the troops, and in destroying military stores; in which last three artillery-men privates Gorman, Foss, and Friedman were considerably injured, but, it is hoped, not disabled, by an accidental explosion. In this engagement, Col. Hays displayed great coolness and bravery, as did Capts. Lewis and Roberts, of the Texas rangers. Lieuts. Watersand Lilly, of the Louisiana volunteers, and the lieutenants of the Texas corps, behaved most gallantly. Lieutenant Ridgely, of the 4th infantry, acting assistant adjutant general, and Lieut. Whipple, of the 9th infantry, (volunteer aid,) behaved, as ever before, with distinguished gallantry, rendering me prompt and efficient assistance during the engagement. They were with the foremost in the charge, and in pursuit of the enemy ; and not until all public property was captured, did they think of rest. Lieut. McDonald, of the 3d artillery, acting assistant quartermaster, was with me in the charge, and behaved most gallantly, as he ever has done upon all former occasions. Lieuts. Doug lass and Blake were also in the charge tiie former as my aid-de-camp and both behaved gallantly, it af fords me much pleasure to bear testimony to the good conduct both of officers and men. Never could they behave better than on this occasion. Early on the morning of the 24th, we moved to ward Puebla. Capt. Roberts' company of Texas mounted riflemen, numbering between twenty-five and thirty men, composed the advanced guard. The re mainder of the mounted riflemen were in the rear of the artillery. The Louisiana dragoons, under Capt. Lewis, constituted the rear guard. While moving with difficulty through a long mountainous pass, call ed the pass of Galaxara, some five miles from iMatamoras, the train became considerably extended. Re tarded by the obstructions of the way, the artillery and a small train of four wagons, containing captured property drawn by JHexican mules and driven by ilex icans, had fallen far in the rear, and were slowly pro gressing under my immediate superintendence, when it was reported that the enemy was in front. Col. Hays was immediately ordered to repair to the head of the column, and to engage the enemy with tiie ad vance guard. He found a small party of observation running in under the pursuit of two hundred Mexican lancers. He promptly repulsed them, and with Capt. Roberts and company, and Lieuts. Ridgely, Whipple, Waters, McDonald, Blake, and my private secretary, Mr. rlieips, numbering in all about thirty-five men. gallantly charged, broke, and pursued the enemy across an extended plain, and up a Jong precipitous ascent toward the mountains, from which they had made the attack. .Midway of the hill the enemy halted and at tempted to rally. They wheeled to the front, but fall a .a ing rapiuiy oetore the continued charge, they again broke, and fled over the summit of the mountain, closely followed by Col. Hays, with his small force. Here the enemy was reinforced by a reserve of five hundred lancers, under the command of Gen. Rea. The mounted riflemen not being armeduith eabres, and their revolvers and rifles having all been dischargedTtieordered his small force to retire to their original position This order was coolly obeyed, and the men retired in good order, under the full charge of four or five hun dred Uncers. Having returned to their position, the enemy were immediately repulsed, and the post maintained until the arrival of the artillery, under Lieut Fields, and of the dragoons, under Capt. Lewis, whom I had ordered to the front immediately on perceiving the strength of the enemy. It is due to these excellent officers to remark, that they moved forward to the engagement with that promptitude and alacrity for winch they have ever been distinguished. Ihe artil lery was immediately unlimbered, when the enemy retired to the mountains, and, receiving a few rounds or grape and canister, they disappeared. For severa hours they continued to hover about our march, in scattered detachments, too remote for 'the anauhTb our already jaded horses. And though the riflemen dismounted and attempted to reach them on foot, and the artillery was several times unlimbered and brought to bear upon them, it was impossible to bring them to another engagement. Uur loss in this engagement was two killed and two slightly wounded The loss of Lieut. Ridgely, my acting assistant ad jutant general, who was mortally wounded while gal Jantly charging with bis comrades by the side of Col Hays, deeply saddens the feeling of satisfaction with which I report the brilliant conduct of this smalt par ty at the pass of GahmraT"" Private WmWalpas one of the rangerfpalso fell bravely fighting among the forerrroifti in the charge. Lieut. Watcrs-aod ono other, were slightly wounded. The loss of the enemy in this affair is not accurately ascertained, but could not have been less than fifty killed and wounded. Of the killed, were two captains, one lieatenant, and also three non-commissioned officers if artillery During the engagement, the Mexican drivers, after cutting the mules from the teams, made their escape This rendered it necessary to destroy all the captured property, except the large pieces cf artillery, and the saures, most or winch were aisirioutea to me mount . t a . v ed men, and the remainder destroyed, im ever did any officer act with more gallantry than did Col. Hays in this affair of the 24th. When he found it necessary to retire for the purpose of reloading his men having no sabre he halted in their rear, and as the enemy advanced, deliberately shot two of thern dead, and covered his retreat until the arrival of reinforcements. Lieut. Ridgely Tell a victim to gallantry which was never surpassed. Lieut. Whipple, my present aid-de-campatid acting assistant adjutant general, was distinguished for hi coolness and bravery, lie was ampng the first in the charge, and excepting Col. Hays, was th last man to leave the field. Captain Roberts charged bravely at the head of bis company : bis horse was shot under him, and he exhibited great presence of mind in making his escape. Lieut. U'aters and Lieut. McDonald distinguished themselves in this action advancing with the first, and retiring only with the last. Lieut. Blake and Mr. Phelps were also at the bead of the charge, and divide with their comrades the palio of bravery and good conduct. Assis taut Surgeons Brower and Newton, of the medical staff, merit my tlianks for their promptitude and efficiency in attending" to their professional duties. Private Glanton, of the Texan rangers, attracted general notice br his extraordinary activity and daring Ihruuhout the actions both of the 3d and 21th. Sergeant Myers commanded a portion of the Louisi ana dngootis, and conducted them with ability through both action.

To the above report I beg leave to subjoin, that the squadron of Louisinrta volunteer dragoons, commanded by Captain Lewis, led the advance towards Mata moras, and the gallant charge into the town, in which they manifested the same spirit and bravery so conpicuousat Atlixco. Also, that Assistant Surgeon ürower, ot the 4th ndiana. was with the foremost in the splendid charge of the 21th instant. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, JOSEPH LANE, Brig. Gen. U. S. A. To R. Jones, Adj. Gen. U. S. A. The Taylor Fever. Some few months ago, there wns a strong effort made to bring forward Gen Tayor as the people's candidate For the Presidency. I he fever progressed without any intermission, until the entire Taylor party was in the highest possible state of excitement, when it subsided with far greater ra pidity than it came on. Recently the Taylor party has had another attack, which is characterized with even more viruleuce than the former, and if it does not kill, it will, probably, subside without any other visible effect than that of leaving the patients in a state of extreme nervous debility. There is uot one man in fifty whose first choice for the Presidency is Gen. Taylor. Yet the condition of the Whig party is such, that many who do not prefer the election of Gen laylor, consider him the most available candidate. Taylor's election is considered preferable to Clay's defeat. On the other hand, the democratic party, or at least that portion of it whose opinions are worth anything, are determined to regard only, in the selection of a candidate, those fundamental principles of the democratic creed, an adherence to which has produce! so many former victories, eleva ted our country to its present proud position. Whatever the whig party may do, we feel assured that the democratic party will remain true to its principles, and nominate no man for the high office of President, unless his opinions on all fundamental questions of party contention are well understood. The iJea that the democratic party can be induced to depart from the policy of demanding a frank avowal of the opin ions of those who are candidates of the party Jor President, is not to be entertained for a moment. If there is any-party, or any portion of our people who feel disposed to support a man for the office of President of the United States, whose only qualification or at least the only one we have any evidence of is that he is an accomplished General, let them do so. If the democratic party has no candidate whose popularity, arising from eminent services in civil stations. and great fitness for the office, is sufficient to secure his election, then we say let the democratic party be defeated. A defeat under circumstances like these, will leave the democracy in a much stronger position than that which victory gives to the successful party. These remarks are made upon the supposition, that the democratic' party would be defeated, should the Whig party nominate General iaylor. ouch a sup position, however, is not at all likely to be well founded. Gen. Taylor refuses to declare his opinions on great questions of party difference. Under these circumstances, we believe it is not expected that the whig party generally can be induced to support him. With all the errors of that party, we cannot allow ourselves to believe that it has so little confidence in the importance of its principles, as to give its support to a candidate whose opinions, if he has any, are not known. If Gen. Taylor declares his opinions on leading questions, there is the strongest evidence that on some important questions, they will be the very opposite to those entertained by the whig party. Under such circumstances, he could not expect the united vote of the party. It is degrading to the character of agrpat party, who has been warring for more than half century tor the establishment or certain errat meas ures of a governmental character, to cast their suffra ges for an individual, whose sole qualification is bavin? fought a few successful battles. There is no precedent in President making, that would justif I such support. Military qualifications do not disqua ify a Presidential candidate, neither does it qualify man for that high station. Entertaining these views, we look at the present apparent increase of popularity of Gen. Taylor, with reference to the Presidency, without, in the least fearing its effect upon the success of the democratic party. We are among those who believe that the democracy snould be governed in the nomination of candidate for the Presidency, solely by a desire to ensure the ascendancy of its principles. i. Jr. Globe. QCA meeting ot the "iriends ot Oen. laylor was recently held at Philadelphia, to take measures in fa vor of electing him to the Presidency. The Wash ington Union remarks upon the course and purposes of the meeting as follows : They spread their nets to "catch birds cf every leather," and insist upon it that the General is "re buking the party in rejecting a nomination for the presidency at the hands of either farly and "irrespective of party," as they hold forth, they approve (not the whigs , but) the "People s State Convention, to be held at Harrisburgh, on the 22d of February, and urge the formation of an electoral ticket. A similar movement is making in other States; and the object is two-fold: First, tu rule out a wh'g national convention, and head off their own great champion. Clay himself; (by this scheme, they will shirk the responsibility of promulgating their principles, and they will leave every clique in every State at liberty to place their support upon different and politic grounds;) and second, to secure as many democratic votes as possible for Gen. Taylor. The time is coming for unmasking this design. An honest whig stated the other day, that Mr. Clay was by far the strongest man in his party ; but they wanted to catch some democratic votes along with the whigs, to elect their candidate. Tula is the game which manyjuf them'are proposing to play, unless they should find themselves too strong, or the denraiieparty too divided-ndweak ; in which c&sf, Uey will adhere, Ur their strongest and favorite candidate. But there arc strong appearances that their pöTicy may preyaiIover their principfes ; that the star of their leader may 'pale its ineffectual fire ; hat Henry Clay himself may be shuffled voff the hustings; and that Gen. Taylor may be selected as their champion. We say not word against him. We would speak of him with all possible respect.. But we have seun too much of the spirit of the whig leaders not to anticipate such a course. They who have resorted for the two last campaigns (in 1840 and in 1S41) to all Krts of devices to delude the people who have appealed to the senses, in order to avoid a direct aifueal to the understanding who have thus insidiously shunned an avowal off their principles will not hesitate to pitch Mr. Clay loverboard, take up as their candidate a man under the character of a "no-party candidate," whilst they know him to be a whig ; and, withal, a military candidate one of the heroes created by a war which they have shamelessly denounced as unjust and unconstitutional. Let them resort to this device, if they please ; and the democratic party will be prepared to meet them and unmask their designs. Who fears the result 1 Let the republicans do tbeir duty, and we shall again defeat them ! Give us harmony -give us union. Go for principles, and noj for men. Take the field openly under the brond banners o ' our principles, and under which, if we should happen to be beaten, wo may fall back and rally our columns : and we dread no encounter with any candidatu whom our opponents may select. A fair sky and an open field, and we drend no party which fights behind a mask, and no man who does not boldly and openly avow himself to b'e a democrat in his principles and his measures. QrCoI.

LUV ITEMS. A "Max's House his Castle," but his Shop sot.

A recent meeting in London in opposition to a de cision or a court of law. has excited much comment ii the journals of that city. Lord Bury, the plaintiff it the action, entered the shop of the defendant, Clark, in Jeremy street, and asked to see some pen-holders, exibited in the window, and ticketed 6d. each. Not iking the articles on examination, he said to Mr. Clark "these are of no use it is very well for you to puff off your trumpery articles." Whereupou Mr. Clark told the Lord he "was a trumpery fellow, aud must leave the shop." Lord Bury refusing to do so. policeman was ent for, whereupon his Lordship departed hut afterwards returned, and thereupon was forcibly put out bv Mr. Clark. Lord Bury instituted an action aud recovered j20 damages for the assault. A meeting of shop-keepers condemned tins decision. Some of the papers, reviewing the proceedings, sup port the court oil the ground that a "man's shop is a place into which he invites the public to buy, and lence the entry is no trespass in Jaw." The (lobe, in admitting the validity of this distinciou, yet insists that the owner ot a shop jms a per fect right to require the departure from it of any one entering, and that not being obliged to sell his wares although he advertises to do so, he may bid any one to eave bit shop and that remaining therein after said warning, the party commits a trespass. Unquestion ably this is sound doctrine, and although a tavern be confessedly not the fittest place to review the proceedngs of law coutts yet when a complaisant judge bends law and common sense to the gratification of rank at the exieiise of the personal rights of a hum bier citizen any place is a fitting one from which to call public attention to such a wrong, and vindicate the personal rights aud the equality before the law of ail. A Rcna way Slave may not be Employed in Pennsylvania except under Penalty. In the U. S. Circuit Court, at Pittsburgh, a penalty of $500 has been awarded against Dr. Mitchell, of Indiana coun ty, lor enticing a slave Ironi his master. 1 he case was tried under the act ot Congress ol ItVö, and tor the penalty imposed by that act. The decision in this case goes somewhat luriner man the lamous van Ztndt case of Ohio. In the case decided at Pittsburgh there was no proof of any attempts on the part of Dr M. to entice the slave away from his master. Nor was there any proven interference to prevent their re turn to their owners. lie gave them employment. however, knowing them to be slaves, and according to the charge of the judge, and the inference of the jury from the charge, ihere was room for the verdict rendered. In Judge McLean s charge, the act of em ploymcnt simply was not deemed an offence under the act of Congress. I he case occupied the court, the Pittsburgh Gazette says, four days. Judge Grier's charge was pointedly against the defeudant. Pa Ledger. Removing Seats of Justice. The recent decis ion of the Supreme Court at Pittsburgh on the consti tutionality of the license law, is supposed to render void all laws for the removal of county seats of justice which have been referred to the vote of the people Schuylkill, Columbia and Delaware counties will now require a special Act of Assembly to legalize the change recently determined by vote, according to the requirement of the Legislature, which passed the necessary laws, subject to the approval ot the majori ty of voters in the respective counties. It is this con tingent sort of law making that is pronounced uncon stitutional. The Legislature will of course make such new enactments as are needed to effect the ong inal intentions. Pa. Ledger. CtrA Donation not to be changed from the In tention of the Donator. A case of much import ance was decided before one of the courts of New Orleans last week. The matter at issue was the pos session of the proceeds of a square of ground, donat ed to the city by Don Andre Almonaster, ItiOö, fo the express use and benefit of those afflicted with lep ro?y. The property, after being in the possession o the city for a length of time, and not being needed for tiie purposes for which it had been donated, was sold. The plaintiff, as heir of the donor, entered this suit for the recovery of the proceeds of sale, on the ground that the purposes for which it had been donated had not been carried out. Judge Kennedy gave a long and elaborate judgement, which decreed that the proceeds of the ground, amounting together to 10,230, and s'30,043 in cash, be taken and considered to be the property of the plaintiff, and her right and title to the same, in full ownership, is herely confirmed. It is further ordered that the defendant pay costs. OThe Supreme Court of Massachusetts has recently decided that an employee on a railroad has not the same claim on the company, if he suffer an injury, as a passenger; and that the company is nut chargeable for the unsoundness of a car, unless previous notice or knowledge of the fact be brought home to them. This may be good law, but it is anything else than common sense. Cin. Enquirer. A Decision. It was recently decided by the Gibson Circuit Court, in Indiana, that an advertisement for the apprehension of a runaway slave is sufficient authority for any one to arrest him in a free State, and take him to his master. The person who arrests the slave is presumed to be the agent of the owner, and the latter has a right, either in person or by authorized agents, to seize upon his slave, and take him homo. Ex. paper. A man has recently been convicted at Cleveland for stealing his own property. He had made a bargain to have his hogs fattened on shares, and wheu he thought "they would do," he stole them away, and killed them on his own hook. A novel case was tried in October in the McCracken Circuit Court, Kentucky. It was an action on the case brought by & son-in-law against a father-in-law for fraud, in concealing from the son-in-law the fact that the young lady he married was afflicted with ul cers and running sores, the effects of white swelling, and for false representations said to have been made by the father-in-law before marriage, relative to the young lady's lameness. The judge having persuaded the defence to withdraw their demurrer, a plea of not guilty was filed, and, after evidence and arguments, the jury found for the defendant without leaving their seats. In the case of Story's executors vs. Derby & Co., publishers of Holcombe's Equity, a work made up in part of Judge Story's book on Equity, Judu McLean of the U. S. court in Cincinnati,' has. ordered a perpeiuai jiij uiiutiuii uuu akLiuiu tu vc tuivcu ui me jsiu- i tits of Holcombe's book sold. He alo recommends ' a 04uprouie . of the controversy. Mr. Holcombe's work acknowledges that the first hundred pages were from Story. A Strange Case. The New Orleans papers give the result of the trial of. a strange case in that city. lThe plaintiff in the case is an aged free woman of colorvjumcd Ophelia Lvans, and the defendants no less than seven highly respectable white gentlemen, to-wit : Messrs. Joseph Genois, Charles Genois, Joseph Genois Jr., Philip Avegno, Philip Avegno Jr., Francois Avegno and Bernard Avetm, the first ia tiled of whom was recently, recorder of the fist muiicipality. All the parties are men of great wealth, the elder Avegno soppose'd to be worth upwards of $f00,0()O.

It appears in evidence th Jiatrhe plaintiff wa beaten in llie must merciless maimer, knocked down, and while in that situation a shower of blows indicted both with a cane and cowakin, in which the elder Avegno and his sons actively participated. It dues not appear, however, that Recorder Genois, who is related to the Avejnos, took a direct port in the assault; but, on the coutrarjr, he was heard to call up on his relatives to desist, in extenuation of the assault, a note was produced and read to the jury, written by Ophelia Evans, and addressed to the wife of one of the younger Avegnos. In this note, the plaintiff accuses Madame Avegno with having improper intercourse with a mulatto, the husband of o ie of i her "laves, and indulges in language unfit for publication. The note wus immediately shown by JHadame A. to her family, and hence the assault and suit. After a careful investigation of all the fads in the ca;, the jury returned a verdict of "J00J damages in favor of the plaintiff. OrThe Charleston Mercury is out against Gen. Cass's) letter.

The Whigs, nnd the War mil and Its 1'reauiblc. The whigs claim that their representatives in Ccn-

gres voted in a body against the prcuinl le of the war bill as a separate proposition, declaring that "wir existed by the act of Mexico," because that declara tion was a falsehood. They claim further, that when it was found impossible to strike out the preamble, the same whigs all but fourteen of tliem in one house, and two in the other voted for the bill, false preamble and all, rather than record their names ngaint the bill. This, Mr. Clay says, "no earthly consideration could ever have tempted or provoked" htm to do, because of "the palpable falsehood stamped upon the face" of the bill in its preamble. ISow, what was the bill, to save which, and to vote or which, the whigs consented to vote this 'palpab'e falxchtxHl!" It was a bill to wage a war f mtasio-i upon Mexico. It was a war bill placing at tue dispo sal of the President the whole army and mvy of the United Slates, and fifty thousand volunteer 'soldiers besides, together with ten millions of tlollars, "to prosecute the war with Mexico to a speedy and successjul termination." In voting this bill, with or without the preamble, the whigs voted ll? invasion of Mexico with a great force. Nay, more; they ac tually voted what they themselves call palpa'ne falsehood, for the sake ot voting such an invasion of Mexico There is no pretence in any quarter that anybody ever thought so many men and so much mon ey needful merely to protect Gen. Taylor from the Mexican army mustered on the Rio Grande, or that the force was voted for any sucli sole purpose. But this is not left to conjecture, or inference, however certain ; for in about a week after the vote was given, ntelligence came of the victories of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma, showing that Gen. Taylor was sale. Ana what then : rim a nn?er did the whigs lift to stop him on the Rio Grande, or stay his intersion of Mexico with the large force they had voted him, just as soon as it could be mustered into service. For mouths he was on the Rio Grande, organizing Li:d pressing .orward his preparations to invade Meiico; and during those months nut only did the whigs make no movement in Congress to forbid him to pro ceed, but their jaurnals were loud in charging the delay as a fault and a blunder upon the administra tion ! Now, in this state of facts, what do the whigs gain for themselves as a party, by proclaiming the pream ble to the bill a falsehood I If it be a falsehood, so much the worse for them, every way; first, because they voted it while declaring it to be false; and secondly, because they voted it for the sake of voting, at the same time, what they call "an unjust and ag gressive War ot invasion, standing upon that very alleged falsehood as a main justification!!).

FriLEMT This disease is considered by all to be the most dreadful that ever afflicted the human race, as it tendency i to insanity, madness and death. With auch fearful result as these, who, among il unhappy subjects does nut shudder. The most skilful physician of Europe, a well a those of our own country, have pronounced Epilep sy (or falling sarkness as it may be termed) incurable. We are happy however, lo state lo our readers that Dr. Ivan 4. Hart of tbi city, by long and tedious resenrch, bave discovered the primary cause of this dreadful disease, and also its remedy a remedy which in most ca will in a very slum time e fleet a permanent cure. We speak thus positive, because we have within the last few week seen quite a number of per who have been cured by their remedy ; one of whicn is a man of unquestainable veracity, who slated to us that he bad been afflicted with epileiwy in its worst lorra for nearly St years, and bad from lime lo lime employed III het iredical talent to be found, and all to no purpiae, until he placed himself under the treatment of llrs. Ivan At Hart, winch was but a few weeks since, and now, sa he, "I thank Sod. I feel that I am a well man. I also feel it my duty to procbiim h to the end of the earth, that those similarly afflicted, may find reüei." We quote the language used by some that are now under treatment, and others who have been cured. One says, "I have suffered beyond m (towers of description, but now I rejoice in the prospect of soon being fully restored, as my health of l.ile lias much improved." Anotlier w ho is an eminent lawyer and well known in this city, snys, 14 ly sou lias been afflicted for year with epilepsy, but is now enjoying good health from the Vegetable Extract, lu fame, say he, should and ought to be sounded lo the ends ol the earth." Another says," language ii entirely inadequate toexpresa my gratitude to Messrs. Ivan st Hart fur having been the means under the blearing of God, of restoring me lo II le enjoyment of good health alter having been afflicted with epilepsy in its wort form lor n ore than '23 year, and my morning and evening oi lalion of prnueand Ihaukrgiving stielt continue to as cend lo lli il God who has afflicted, but l make me whole. " We doubt notlhat the time is not. far distant when thousand who are now trembling under the hand of this dreadful disease, and fearing tb.it every attack may prove taut, will find permanent relief and lie restored to new life by using tbw celebrated medicine, HART'S VE.OE.TAALE EX1 RACT.
