ATTEMPT TO CUT A WIFE'S THROAT!— A man, whose name has escaped us at this writing, residing on the northeast corner of Fourth and Chestnut streets, on yesterday about noon attempted, in a family quarrel, to cut his wife's throat. He wa3 arrested and lodged in jail.

MARSIIAI, WIIITEMAN and Mr. Nay lor, Trustee of this township, broke tip a camp of miserable females in the edge of this township yesterday. They were living in the woods without shelter and on the ground. One woman had a child two years old.. They were from Illinois, where they weresent. J,

MOKE IIAIR Ci rn.vcil—On Saturday evening a young girl wils seized by a man near Ile.inig's bakery, on Lafayette stre t, and before she could release herself from Ills grasp, suffered the loss of a large portion of the hair on iier head. We could not learn her name. Is it not about time this thing was stopped?

LIKITKY GWINN, a livery man, from New Albany, was in the city yesterday. He recognized in Daniel MeGaitghey, now in jail on charge of bigamy, the man who, some two years since, hired a horse and buggy from him and forgot to return the same. :Oiir.eitv authorities know where the buggy is, but all trace has been lost of the horse. ~p:

Dit. HALE, of Indianapolis, the wellknown physician for the throat and lungs wi41 be at the Terre Haute House to-mor-row, for consultation by those afflicted with these diseases so prevalent at this season of the year. Dr. Hale has treated a large number of cases in this city, with great success, and his patients uniformlf speak of him in the most flattering terms. Remember his visit to-morrow.

Ciiuucii CIIOIKS. Reasonable people, who are not clogged with the ideas of a half century ago, will agree with the following paragraph, taken from a letter of Dr. J. (T. Holland, (Timothy Titcomb) written from England, af:er*ii visit to the churches of Spurgeon, Newman Ilall and Dr. Cummings: "The singing of all the-e three congregations was, 1 regret to say, congregational. I have heardnothing but congregational sinsring since I left home, and I ton reallv getting hungry. The singing in Mr. Sptirgeon's church, dragged ii-self long in a wav to set a musica Iman frantic. That in St. James Hall, though supported bv an organ, was hardly better, while that in Dr. Cummings' church was not singing at all. I am tired of singing on a theory. It is undo'.iitedly a pretty thing for a whole congregation to untte in singing, provided they know how but I have never vet seen a congregation that did know how, and I never expect to see one. I hope to hear something better in Germany where mnsioral culture is more universal but so far in all my life congregational singing has been a torment to nie, and never aVource or medium of de votion. The theory itself is lame. Peo pic who do not know how to sing have n.. moral right to sing in public. It is jus. as legitimate to hire a choir to lead a congregation is public praise as to hire a minister to lead in public prayer.

There is one method by which congregational singing may be tolerated, and that isbv having a good instrument and a strong choir to lead. This is the mode of :iducting the singing in Henry Ward echer's Church, and is now being adop the Omgregatioii.il Church, of this

Those suffering froutfl'npaireil or diseased vision, are reccomended to avail themselves of this opportunity.

EMBARRASSING.—A very modest lady of our acquaintance on yesterday wanted a

The la it or went on his mission and was not a little taken back as he was directed to a saleswoman, behind the connter. He says his wife mtril do that kind of shopping hereafter.

PALACE OF MUSIC.—This elegant establishment is now filled with goods for Holidays, and presents one of the most attractive features to be found in the city.

These shops will add hundreds of industrious maehanics to our population next season.

THE TRACK for the Terre Haute & St. Louis railroad has been completed to within live miles of Greenup, in Cumberland county. It will probably reach Marshall by the first of January.

SPIRITUALISTIC—CAN THESE THINGS BE?—It is an old and trite saying, "go away from home to hear the news."— The item below we find in yesterday's Indianapolis <Journal>. It is not a little singular that such "goin's on" should exist in this city, and be reported for distant papers, when our own home papers are not advised of the same. Our spiritual friends, however, have been a little cautious since their experience with the Church. But here is what we find in the paper referred to:

The citizens of Terre Haute are enjoying, first class sensations, and anticipate one shortly that is not often beheld; but they have a nightly exhibition at present that seems to test the incredulity of some of its best inhabitants, anil the performers are said to be ghostly visitants from another world. The exhibitions are not free to all, we believe, yet the unbelievers can gain admis­-

sion

sion through the intercession of friends who are known to be believers in spirit­-

ualism. The exhibition commences by

placing a cabinet on the floor or step, said cabinet bears a striking resemblance to two large dry goods boxes united.

The victim whom they call the medium and who is a little girl of about the age of fifteen years, is placed within the cabinet, it being provided with a door, she is seated in a chair, and a rope of an indefinite length is placed by her side on the bottom of the cabinet, when the doors are closed by an unseen agency, and remain so for a few minutes when the same agency throws them wide open, discovering the child completely bound to the chair with her hands tied behind her, and after astonishing the gaze of the audience a little while, she is returned to the cabinet, from which she emerges shortly, perfectly free. Whilst the doors remain open this time, a somnambulistic person is seen engaged at the delightful game of dominoes with imaginary opponents, and the visible person seems to be the loser constantly, and he is seen to cheerfully liquidate the amount he is supposed to have lost.— This scene changes, and the doors are again closed, when a number of long, skinny hands, attached to bony arms, are seen reaching forth from various apertures in the cabinet, appearing desirous of grasping something tangible, say a pocket book, for instance but, after several vain endeavors, they are withdrawn in disgust, and shortly afterward the ringing of bells may be detected, and various other unspiriftal noises. The most incredulous are indeed startled, and wonder how these things can be. To-night there will he a

grand ball given, the principal feature of

which will be the shadow dance.

It is but justice to, the young advocate to say that in this his: maiden speech in an important State casef,r he hdi'evinfced a high order of' regutlan'd argumentative talent,which bjds'fair'to place himin the front rank among the eminent .gentlemen who compose our Vigo bar.

For­

rest 'continued the,summing up on the part ofthe defense, ijfid cpncjudcd his argument at 11 o'clock. ,The attendance upon the proceedings was very large and general, and the mo.st intense interest was still shown in the cae. After the conclusion of Mr. Forrest's reinlUts Judge Cliapma*SlWged. Uifi jury* jjuuasry. able.and learned manner, occupying, about .^yentylive minutes' in its delivery.' The case was given to the jury at half past 11, when they retired to their room under charge of a sworn bailiff"—at about half past two they-returned to thesir seats iii the jurybox arid the court was again convened. The jury was carefully polled by the clerk and tbe'ti'Ho.st stillness'was maintained by },he densely crowded audience. The prisoner did not show near as much feeling under the awful excitement of the hour as the counsel for the pro.sccution, its'he sat stoically looking around the room nodding here and there to some familiar face. His Honor then cautioned the audience that when the jury should have rendered their verdict, there ,sho3ld be no sign or expressiousrof approval or dissatisfaction and charged Sheriff Stewart that he should at once arrest any one guilty Of such a gross violation of decency or manly feeling- The^Judge then asked "Gentlemen of the, J«rp'-have you.agreed upou your venfliet? All nodded assent, when the Foremen placed in his hands an envelope containing the copy of their verdict. The Judge opened it and read-"We the jury find the prisoner guilty of murder in the first degree, and that he be imprisoned in the State prison for the term of his natural life." A juror arose and sakl that was not the verdict. The Foreman rose and said that their verdict was '•Daiihsaid that he had signed the wrong blank, and asked leave for the Jury to retire and make the proper correction in their verdict. This they did, and upon their return handed to .the Judge the fatal paper. "Wo the Jtiry find the prisoner gpilty of murd :r in the first decree and lliat he .shall suffer vierdict .was- rca^ amid the breathless silence of the large audience, and seemed more perfectly uninoVfd^tfMui did the unfortunate Morgan.. iaSf McLean, EJa \^idiiig counsel, then asjwl that the jua"!%!p0jled. The Clerk Called each name, the foreman rose to his feet and the Judge asked him, "Mr. is this your verdict?" Each responded in the affirmative.-' It was a most solemn timfe, and the jury all seemed deeply impressed with the grave importance of their performed duty. The Court then very feelingly addressed iheni, adding, at the close, that, "bavin?/performed the Huty imposed upon them, a duty that they had not sought for themselves, he doubted not but they had done it according to the best of their ideas and belief, and that the issue now was between themselves and their God." He then- dismissed 'them from any further attendance on the case.

His Honor, Judge Chapman, has won golden opinions from the members of the Bar, and from all attendant on this trial, for the urbanity, promptness and fairness which he has shown in his first call to preside at our courts. His instructions to the jurors upon their separation upon the first day of their being empannclled and sworn, and liis charge at the close of the case, were marked with the utmost clear ness and legal acumen.

MORE IIAIR CUTTING.—Last evening, near the corner of Ohio and Ninth streets, a man ran up to a party of small boys and girls and attempted to cut the hair of the latter. They cried out, however, and the villain ran away. It i%,about time this man was. caught and properly punished.

NON-EMBER.—The following descViption of November weather, from a poem on the seasons by our fellow-townsman,Thom-as B. Long, Esq., must be highly suggestive to the citizens of Terre Haute, in view of recent experience. En'ering this morning upon a new month, it is to be hoped that the pictur^may no I0ng9r.be applicable:

Alas! tlic saddest in the year.

A LETTER received last night from C. Coffin of Richmond, gives the pleasing information that he fully intends to be present at the State Christian Convention. Rev. Dr. Harper, the eminent Presbyterian divine, of Indianapolis has also signified his intention to -be present.

AT TIIE FESTIVAL, Thursday evening, a wholesale.liqour dealer was approached by a young lady with.an appeal to take the "two last chances" in a raffle. "Oh yes," said -he, "put me, down. I'll make it up in the morning, by pouring a couple of buckets of water in a barrel of whisky!"

THE USUAI^J'SALUTATION a new prisoner receives when he enters the jail, is "Fresh {Fish!' given with a will by his new associates. Ou Thursday, Rev. J. Foxworthy, of the Centenary Church, visited the jail to convere with Stevens, the condemned murderer, and as he passed back of the grated door, "fresh fish" was rung out, the inmates of the posing he had come to stay.

FERD KLINE, mail agent, tells a good one at the expense of the postmaster at Carlisle. On Thursday as he was making his run up from Evansville, and had received the mail pouch from the Carlisle postoffice, the postmaster was seen rgnning for the train with several letters in his hand, which he thrust into the mail car, saying, "Here, take this, quick when Andy Johnson was President, we could do as we pleased, and not be in such a hurry in getting letters off, but this Administration is gettingd—d particular!"

Deacon ltycc, Rev. Dr. Jewett and Rev. W. M. Cheever, the President and Vice Presidents of the Club, are training, and should they get their hands in, are expected to take part. The occasion will be the presentation of the Contata of the -'Haymakers," at Dowling Hall, on Friday and Saturday evenings of this week, one-half of the proceeds to be placed in the hands of the Ladies Aid Society, and the balance to be used in fitting np the hew rooms of the Independent Singing Club, in Beach's Block

TIIE FRIENDS of H. W. Hibbard, who are by no means few in this city, will be interested in the following„from the Indianapolis Mirror:

II. W. Hibbard, General Freight Agent of the Terre Haute Railroad, yesterday morning innocently put his fine overcoat on the cigar stand at the Bates House, but it would not stay there. It went off. Hibbard ami Al. Blake at once went after it, and by a regular stroke of-luck found it in ascond-hand store. The man who had taken it there yas^npt found tji.erc Hibbard! wore the coat away and went to Carterabufg. Wiien there he wanted to blow his nose, and found for thafirst time, to his rage, that the, conscienceless thief had stolen his' handkerchief whereupon he telegraphed to be sure and save that article, no matter what, was done with the thief. It was just from the wash, and scented with Night Blooming Cereus.— But the thief is still at large. Hibbard is sympathised .with.

RESIONATON OF REV.E. FKA:K HOWE. —At the close of the morning services at the Congregational church, on" Sunday, Rev. S. M. Stimson who occupied the pulpit by exchange with the regular pastor, Rev. E. Frank Howe, read a brie'f letter from the latter, addressed to the church and congregation, which stated, in substance that having been notified by the Trustees that, in all probability, his salary would be

reduced-$500,rat

the commence­

ment of another year, and having giveu the subject serious attention for several weeks, he had arrived at the conclu sion that it was his duty to re sign the pastorate of the church. He accordingly tendered his resignation to take effect in three months frum date.

The communication was a complete surprise to all present, as no one had suspected that there wa-v any prospect of a severance of Mr. Howe's connection with his dhurch and congregation. It created a feeling of deep regret in which all shared. So far ie» we know there is no! a member of the church or congregation who entertains other than the most friendly feeling towards the past or, or wli hiwthe least desire for a 'discontinuance of his services. :And we may add thai he is esteemed by tho community,at large as a preacher of unusual ability, and for Ihe ppsscRsion of th#« qualities which constitute th'j jsnre basi." of enduring popularity,

ABOUT, THIRTY MEMBERS of the fraternity of Odd Fellows, of'this city, attended the funeral on Sunday at Middletown of the deceased brother, Ira C. Tichenor. The funeral was very generally attended, by the neighbors. Rev. Mr. Sherman, of Sullivan, delivered the funeral discourse. The people of Middletown provided dinners for all in attendance. The Odd Fellows appreciate their kindness and hospitality fully.

STOLEN HARNESS., .G^QQYSBJSP^FY'8#psaWerhbon a set of single harness, nearly new, was found secreted in a pile #f wood, near the Ninth street market house. The discovery was made by a wood-sawyer, who left them at W. .G.

TIIE LOCAL PAPER.—The following tribute to the local paper, which we take from the columns of the Chicago Eepublican, contains so much truth (hat we commend it to the careful consideration of all business 'men, and others interested in the welfare of their local journals:

What tells so readily, the standard of a town or a city as the appcarance of its papers? And its youth or its age can as well be determined by the observing as by a personal notice. The enterprise of its citizens is depicted by its advertisements, their liberality by the looks of the )aper. -Sonif papers show a good, solid, icalthy foundation, plethoric purses, and weihto-do appearance generally others hotv a striving to contend with the grasping thousands around them, trying hard to wrench an existence from their close-fisted communities.— An occasional'.meteoric display in its columns of telegraph or local, or of its editoials, shows what it can do, ,i(,.H had the means, Init it cannot continue in the expensive work until support comes, which ought to be readily granted. A newspaper is like a church—it wants fostering in the commencement, and for a few years then, as a general thing, it can walk alone, and reflect credit upon its location. 'iNike your home paper it gives vo'i more news of immediate interest tharrany other paper can possibly do it talks for you when other localities belie you it stands up for your rights you always have a champion in your home paper and those who -stand up for you should certainly be well sustained. Your interests are kindred and equal, and you must rise or/all together. Therefore, it is to your interest to support your home paper, not grudgingly, but in a liberal spirit as a pleasure, not as a disngreea ble duty, but as an investment that will amply pay the expenditure.

DiK»—At his residence in Mankato, Minnesota, on yesterday (2Gtli inst.) after a lingering illness, JOHN II. HARK, formerly a resident of this city,- in the fortysecond year of his age.

Mr. Barr was born at Middlcburgh, Loudon county, VirgiHia, September 2, ,1,828. When about three years of age, his parents removed to Zanesville, Ohio. Here he spent the days of his childhood and youth. The means of his parents were limited, and he had but few earlyadvantages for education. He was put to the pain:cr's trade, which he acquired thoroughly. In 1849 he came to this city, thea in the twenty-second year of his age. For a number of years he prosecuted his Im-iness here, most honorably and successfully, lie subsequently became the senior member of the Drug firm of T. H. Barr ,Co. HLs health, howeyer, failed, and in lSGJ. he jemoved. to

Minnesota, hoping that change of climate would restore it. It seems, however, thai he received no permanent, beijefit from his removal, but gradually sunk down to the grave.

John TT. Barr wa well known to and highly esteemed ly Our community. He was a self made man. Without the aid of schools, early advantages, or long men tal training he achieved for himself po i-ion among his fellows which is sel dJni'acquired. He was a man'of marked character, of strong will, .untiring energy, clear head and honorable purposes. He w^s. honest and high-minded in all his undertakings. His private character was pure and unspotted. He had an original and logical mind and seldom hazarded an opinion which he could not sustain with well considered and compact arguments. He took great interest in the local affairs of our city and was engaged in many enterprises looking to the public welfare.

Perhaps the hardest thing he ever did was to leave Terre Haute, and the most ardent wish he expressed, during his last illness, was to be able to return and die among his old friends.

CRIMINAL COURT. —————

MORGAN MURDER CASE. —————

SENTENCE OF DEATH PRONOUNCED. —————

To be Executed December 23d. —————

On yesterday morning the motion for new trial in the ease of the State of Indiana <vs>. Oliver Morgad [sic], was argued before Judge Chapman, by McLean and Forrest for the prisoner, and Hanna and Allen for the State. The principal cause urged for a new trial was the declaration of two of the jurors that they misunderstood the instructions of the court, and supposed that if they found the prisoner guilty of murder in the first degree, that they were compelled, to affix the death penalty. The affidavits of these jurors could not be obtained in time to be presented to the court; but the Judge decided the case as if they were filed, and held that such misunderstanding, even if it existed, was not sufficient cause for a new trial. The counsel were given one week to obtain and file the affidavits, so

that they could be made part of the record. A motion was then made in arrest of judgment, which was also overruled by the Court: Time was given, ten days, in which to prepare a bill of exceptions.

The prisoner was then ordered to stand up, and asked by the court if he had any legal reason to give why the sentence of death should not be pronounced upon him.

Morgan, in reply to the question, said: "I don't know that I have anything to say which will have any effect with the court. I think my sentence is a.hard one under the circumstances. If I killed Petri, and I don't deny that I did, I killed him to save my own life. I do not know that I have anything else to say."

Judge. Chapman then passed the sentence of death upon him as follow [sic]: Oliver Morgan, you have been tried by the court and jury upon a charge of murder. The jury have returned a verdict of murder in the first degree, and sentenced you to suffer death. A motion for a new trial has been submitted and argued by your counsel and has been overruled by the court. It only remains for this court to perform the formal duty of passing judgment on the sentence of the jury and to fix the time for its execution. The moment is a solemn one, and I do not know that it's solemnity should be broken by any remark addressed to you by the court save only to admonish you to prepare for death, arid for standing before that tribunal where we must all stand to answer for the deeds done in the body, and where the fallibility that always attends the judgment of human tribunals will no longer find place, but equal and exact justice, tempered by a mercy more than human, shall be dealt out to all.

It is the judgment of the court that you be taken hence to the county jail there to be held in custody of the Sheriff of the county, until the 23d day of Decmber, A. D. 1869, and that on said day, between the hours of ten o'clock A. M. and four o'clock P. M., the said Sheriff shall hang you by the neck until you be dead. And may God have mercy on your soul!"

The occasion was a very solemn one— The prisoner, however, did not show any particular emotion. —————

SPIRITIALISM.

ASTONISHING MEDIUMSHIP!

—————

The Davenports Outdone!

Fay's Coat Trick Surpassed!

SeoretQrips ajid Signs of Masonry ]. »{»yy Revealed, faz

MR, EDITORS:—Permit me-to lay before your readers a few facts in regard to the mediumship of a young girl—Flora Poindexter—daughter of a widow lady who has been but a few months a resident of our city.

This medinm is used by the unseen intelligence for almost every phase of mental and physical manifestations more or less developed. There in an abnormal or trance state, her hand is controlled to rite such communications as the spirits choo.-o to give—oral communications are given through her organs of speech, appropriate to any subject under discussion and while thus considered gives, when deiicd so to do, to any number of Masons or Odd Fcllrws, none but members of the fraternity being present, :^11 the signs, grips, tokens, etc., of these orders.

It may be said by the skeptic, who has never reached the ihner temple of Masonry that the girl is learned in these niyteries, but a true .Mason will be too well acquainted with the nature of his fraternal obligations to venture such an opinion, however much he may desire the overthrow of spiritualism.

The spirit manifestations, physically, have been so far, most wonderful, and, none so young, developed with a rapidi-.-carcely, if ever before paralled in the history of mediumship.

A few friends desirous of advancing the rapidly increasing evidences of man's continued existence, and believing that these spirit manifestations are the only sure proof of such stepping-stones to those higher views of God's government, taught through intuition and our higher religious nature, preparing the mind for a fuller enjoyment of that summer home, when time shall have done its work of earth and we shall be ushered into its glorious realities, and obedient to that Scripture injunction, that our light should not be hid under a bushel, went earnestly into the work, conducting the sconces in the usual way, until about three weeks ago instructions came "across the line" that a cabinet should be prepared, not to resemble two goods boxes placed together as some writer for the Indianapolis Jour naJ, whose love for the ridiculous outweighs his regard for truth, or his confidence in the good sense of his rcader.would have it, but a neat structure in the form of a large wardrobe, so constructed as to be rerfdilv taken apart for those who are carious to give it inspection. This was prepared, the friends not having any promise a* to the result further than that the manifestations would be similar to those in the presence of the Davenports and I need scarcely add that when it was first put on trial there was no little anxiety on the part of those present. It is gratifying to say, however, that the most positive proofs were given that an unseen power and in'elligence were guiding and actuating the intellectual and physical manifestations, which it is possible to present to the human senses.

The mediuhi was first tied in and to the cabinet by the most skilful knots known to some of the older and expeienced ones present, and the ends of the ropes tied to the cabinet beyond her reach, and in six and a half minutes after the doors were closed evev knot was untied and the "prisoner set free."

Secondly, the tieing was done inside of the cabinet ly the "unseen," and^fter the knots were examined and the cabinet closed, spirit hands of differeht sizes and complexion were shown through" a diamond aperture in the door.

As these seances are now accessible to

those who wish to investigate the truth of spirit contact, according to the evidences thus set before, them, I shall close with but a few more facts and remarks. <En passant>, it is no more strange than true that the strongest skeptics are to be found

amongst spiritualists and the work of spirits is brought to the bar of a more rigid and exacting ordeal in their presence than it is likely to meet with from the most avowed (gentlemanly) skeptic.

At the third cabinet seance it was suggested by one of the most skeptical that, if the medinm could be secured in a sack, so that there could be no possibility of her voluntarily aiding the manifestations they would certainly be beyond criticism.— This idea was in due time carried out with the following results.

The sack being put on and the upper end drawn close round her neck—(both ends of the sack are provided with draw strings) tied, sealed and stamped, and the lower end secured beneath her feet in like manner, and the cabinet door closed, one of the ropes which was on a shelf within the cabinet, was taken to the inside of the sack and the medium's hands tied firmly together behind her. Her feet were tied also with the other rope inside of the sack. Next they were taken off and out, neatly put into separate rolls and placed back upon the shelf, and again, one of the ropes was thrown over the mediums [sic] neck and shoulders, and the other tied round her waist.

Thus closed this particular seanse [sic], since which, however, at others, a spirit hand has been shown, at the apperture [sic] in the door while the medium was thus secure. And lastly, the sack—hold your breath, it is the truth and must be told— was taken off of the medium, neatly folded and laid away without a knot, seal or stitch being broken. This is equal if not beyond any thing which has hitherto been performed through any medium for physical manifestations.

Now, Mr. EXPRESS, if you have no desire to witness these phenomena, which, by the way, are open to all gentlemanly editors (and it is, of course, not admissible that there are any others), free of cost, and are yet desirous of knowing how these things are done, all you have to do is to ask the next egotist you meet—one who will declare to you that he has never seen and has no desire to witness any manifestations claimed to be of supermundane origin, and he can tell you all about it. That there are jugglers who who apparently dance amongst eggs without breaking them, run a sword down their throats or through their bodies, without injury, take tow into their mouths and draw forth ribbons &c. &c, and that that is a full explanation of the whole humbug. No use to suggest that all these are totally unlike the manifestation performed through spirit media, that it is a little singular that the scientific savants of Europe as well as of America shrink from the task of attempting its exposure, or else, when investigating the phenomena wiih a view to that end, have almost invariably, from the intelligence always attending the manifestations, become convinced that they are supermundane, and that he only shows his profound ignorance upon the whole subject. That would be labor lost. He is perfectly satisfied with self, believes he is fully capable of grasping and comprehending the whole subject, and denies that there are occult forces which may be made use of in accordance with fixed and immutable laws by the higher inteligences to produce such manifestations. The forms and perfection of a beautiful flower from its first germinal existance, up through its various stages of growth, to him, is all miraculous or the effect of jugglery, because he, for sooth, don't understand it. No use to argue the question to such minds, every thing is impossible that can not be explained to their entire satisfaction by those two most potent words—humbug and jugglry [sic]. M. =====

These instruments furnish more power, a greater variety of stops, more elegant designed cases, the most perfect varied silver tongue, at by far less cost, than any other make known. Also, a full assortment of silver tongue Melodeons now on ha 2

All Admit It.—As Terre Haute is fast becoming known to assume a place among the foremost cities of the West, ibis is particularly true in the music trade carried on in this city. The fact that Pianos and other instruments, are continually shipped from Kissner's Palace of Music, in all directions up to a hundred miles around this city, gives the most conclusive evidence that not only the finest instruments can be had at the Palace of Music, but that he must also give the greatest bargains to the buyers. d2lwlt 1*4" r.'t

Tiie rcsnmption of specie payment has nothing to do with Boots and Shoes, "The influence of Hoots upon the mind if very different from that of any other garment. A man may have a shocking bad hat, but he forgets it his coat inav be threadbare, but his mind is not directed toward-it but we-defy a man to stand upright in a pair of boots with worn-down heels, and we believe it is just as difficult to feel upright in them. A sense of meanness possesses him he feels that every-" body is noticing them. He caitoot look people straight in the face and feel upon the square with them. He feels the weakness of his foundation, and he mistrusts the character of the superstructure that they support, however, imposing in other respect. A man shabby in the Boots sometimes flatters himself that he carries off attention from them by the U?G of a splendid necktie but this Ls a delusion and a snare.

The Boots are the key of the position, and we feel sure that no man ought to undertake any sferious matter, unless he stands up in a good, stout pair of Boots."

The same remarks hold good toward Ladic^ and Children's Understandings, and the proper place to obtain a fine pair of Boots or Shoes, is at N. Andrews, No. 141 Main street, between 5th and 6th streets, where is the largest and best stock of Men's, Boys' and Youths' Boots and Shoes and Ladies wear to be fonnd in the city. Novl3-dlwwlm.

SLIGHTLY 'BOTHERING.—W. S. Ryce & Co's new store, looks like two distinct stores from Main street, and then it has an entrance on Sixth street. Since it has been opened, several persons have gone in at one door, looked throngh the stock in quest of some particular article, bnt found nothing to suit they would look around before buying some ladies, you know, do love to go out shopping, and if it is only a paper rf needles, they* must visit every dry goods house in town. Going out, they see another attractive show window. En tering therethey had no difficulty in finding just the thing wanted, in two cases buying out of the same box they had'bc fore, inspected and refused. Not recognizing the place as the store and another clerk waiting upon them they were taken in and done for, to their perfect satisfaction. One good, but particuiar old ladv ,in want of a calico dress, went in at the Sixth street entrance awl turned over piles upon piles of go»4s, in search of the particular pattern she wanted, but was compelled to give it up in despair and go to another store. Oetting out, and sauntering around the corner, she found one that looked frost the outside as though it would furnish her with the desired goods^ In she went, and the clerk whom she had just left, seeing her innocence, sent a new clerk to wait upon her. He spread out the some kind of goods she had just looked at. "Well, these arc something like just what I -want I'll take a dress off this piece!" and she left the store in great glee with herself at having finally shopped around aotil she found just what suited

Facts arc stubborn things" and it is to facta alone that it is desired to direct th® attention of the readers of this article

Many years of severe and thorough practical trial have demonstrated beyond lu-j pcradventurc of a doubt the fact that tho niodioincs prepared by mo and known as .'WtTtt-i/.-dfce Piilt, Sckcnck'* SWtictcti Tonic, ana Schenek'» Pulmonic .Sump, have proved extraordinarily successful in the curc of diseases of the Pulmonary organs, or what is usually termed Consumption.

I am fully aware that there are many persons whoso prejudices rule them so completely that "proofs strong as lloly Writ would fail to convince them of tho officiency ot my remedies and that thcro nro others who, under no circumstances, could be prevailed upon to admit their merits, simply because such an admission would prove detrimental to their particular personal interests.

Fortunately for the welfare of mankind, these doubting people form r. comparatively small portion of the community at large. They are to bo found here and there, but, comar*d with tho groat mass of tho world at popuation, their numbers are so small that I dismiss ihem, and address myself to those who are willing to listen to tho dictates of reason, and who

are

disposed to admit the strong log-

ic of well-cstahlished facts. We are told almost daily that Lon»umptum, the scourge of tho American people, is incurable that a man whose lungs aro diseased, must be

given

over to die that ho must aban­

don hope, and that the arrangement of his temporal as well as spiritual affairs should claim his earliest, attention. If there were not facts as undeniable as that the sun will shine in a clear heaven at mid-day. to controvert these random and, not unfrequently, harmful assertions, I should feel unwilling to take up the gage ot battle against them, but, fortified with results—fact*—which neither theory nor

OHncc

of solid fact is worth a pound of

theory. Let me, therefore, present the facta conncctcd with my own individual experi-' encc. Many years ago I was a confirmed consumptive, and, like thousands of other unfortunates, was given up to die. Eminent physicians pronounced my case a hopcicsaone, and told me that if 1 had any preparations to make for tho final solemn eventj that" I had better make them speedily. I believed this just as confidently as did tho persons who thus affectionately informed me that my days were numbered and that my recovery was impossible. Still, tho desire to live lingered in my bosom. I was young, and clunp to life with the same tenacity that younir 111011 and old men too, ordinarily do. I did not feel willing to abandon hope as Ions as a sincle vestage of it remained. I hud full faith in the sad information conveyed to ino by my physicians, but still thero was lincering belief that something could be done,

know not in what direction to seek

for the much desired relief. It was at this gloomy and eventful period of my history that I lirst learnod of tho toots and herbs from which my remedies for this dreaded disease aro now prepared. I procured and used them and? to the utter uuni7L ment of all—physicians, friends and neighbors—began to improve. My entire system commenced to undergo a complete renovation. Expectoration, which formerly had been difficult and painful, now became comparatively ea?v. I throw off daily large quantities of offensive yellow mattor. At tho same time my long-lost appetite returned. I ate freely of such food as was palatable to me,and which was at tho same time, nutritious and wholesome. Expectoration becamo ICSJ copious and less offonsivo exhausting night sweats ceascd: tho racking and harassing cough abatco the fever broke the pain deartod flesh planted itself on my sadly wasted frame, and with flesh came snd full health rom a mere skeleton I became a. stout, strong, robust man, and I havo maintained both strength and flesh to this day. I weigh' two hundred and thirty-tivo pounds lam blest with an appetite vouchsafed.to but few men, while my digestive organs are amply: equal to all tho requirements of a healthful condition of my system.

Now, be it remembered, all those wonderful changes wore wrought by the uso of^tho incdicines I prepare—Mandrako Pills, Seaweed Tonic and Pulmonic Syrup. A cure.. seemingly so miraculous, naturally created* astonishment in tho minds of thoso who:.' knew mo. 1 was literally besieged on all sides. 1 had visitors daily who besought 1110 to give them tho remedies which had wrought tho wonderful restoration and had' rested me from tho very jaws of death, .jotters w«re received by scores, importuning

To all these applications I responded I a a I had fully rogaincd my health, and grati-f tudo for the happy result prompted mo to turn my attention to the science ot medicine, with the hope of thereby being ablo to boot ser\icc to my suffering fellow-creatures. I devoted myself closely to my studio., and more ospccially to that branch of them relating to the terrible disease from which I had suffered to longand so much.

that iny case was not an exceptional' one. The closer my investigations the more atisfactory were myfconclusions. Ifeltconineed that tens of thousands of my fellow-i creatures were not as desperate and appar-^ ently hopeless as mine had been, and I argu-i ed from this that remedies which had proven so effective with me would prove equally so with others. I prepared my medicine! in a pleasant and attractive form, and announced them to the world. Tho resnlts aro well known. Thousands of suffering men, women and children, who were on their way to tha gravo. havo been cured, and aro to-day living evidences of the fact that Consumption can be cured and I think I may say, without arrouting to myself any moro than is justly my ,.uc, that I havo ha*l as much cxpcrlcnco in tho treatment of consumption as any other icrson in the country, and that my success las been wonderfully great.

Let the reader remember that tcese aro not mere fancied statements. They aro positive,

living

facts, of which I am tho living evidence, There is an old adage wnich says, "What has been done mayboWIone." I have been completely cured of Consumption by the remedies I now offer to tho public. Thou-1

of others have testified to similar happy results from their uso, and thousands of ythers still might bo benefited as I havo been, could they but bo prevailed upon to tr.v tho irtuc of The yiundrukc Pills, Semcced 'Junic and Pulmonic Si/rui).
