Charcoal Sketches.

jftBJ or two since,1eing in the office* of Sherman the Warden of the house of correction, we were invited to visit some sketches made with charcoal upon the wall by an individual recently confined there, awaiting hts trial. lie was a young man by the name, of M. N. Nichols was from New York State, where his connexions reside, who are of the highest respectability. He was charged with stealing, and has since been tried and convicted for the crime for which he is now atoning when under the influence of intoxicating drink and while in jail seemed to feel keenly the disgrace he had brought upon himself and friends.

One day near the close of his confinement there, he requested, as a favor, that he might bo furnished with a piece of charcoal. His request having been complied with he sketched upon the rough white washed wall, in a few hours, some twenty or thirty heads and figures, nearly covering the walls or two sides of his cell. Some of them are remarkably well executed, and the heads. M.an..irb»rg^^ in particular, are strikingly expressive. Bentucfe?. One set, of three figures, conveys a ^11 solvent Banks, moral lesson which could be advantage- *nUfaua. ously studied for hours. And we could but wish while looking at them through the grated door of the cell, that the lesson there taught might be read by many who arc pursuing a course similar to

and the driving stick in the other, childishly, and innocently pursuing the sport of youth, without a care or thought of distant future.

The next figure was thnt of a young man, whose excellent form, neat attiic, and intelligent countenance, bespoke one who might command the attention of the wise and good. The last figure is that of a person shabbily dressed, with hair uncombcd, standing behind the grated door of a prisoner's cell. Ili-. rectly over this second figure were the j-J p, words, What I was once!" and over the last figure were the words, What I am now?''— Cambridge Chronicle.

Origin of Forks at Table. The use of forks nt table did not pre vail in England till the reign of James First, as we learn from a remarkable passage in Coryat. The reader will laugh at the solemn manner in which this important discovery or invention is related. "Here I will mention a thing that might have beee spoken of before in discource of the first Italian townc. 1 observed a custom in all those Italian cities and townes through which I pass-j fhrrinUburg, Saturdays, at ed, that is not used in any other country Carlisle, Ihursda my travels neither do I

that I saw in thinko that any other nation of Christcrmlonic doth use it, but only Italy, doe always at their meals use a little forke, when they cot their meat for while with their knifo, which they hold in one hand, they eat the meat out of the dish, they fasten the forke, which they hold in the other hand, upon the same dish so that whatsoever he be that sitting in the company of any others at mcale should unadvisodly touch the dish of mcale with his fingers from which all the tablo doe cut, he will give occasion of offence unto the company, as having transgressed the laws ol good manners, in so much that for his error he shall be at loast brow-beaten, if not reprehended in wordes. This form in feeding I understand is generally used in all parts of Italy, their forkes for the most part being made of yronn, Steele, and some of silver, but those are used only by gentlemen. The reason of this curiosity is, bocauso the Italian cannot by any means ondure to have his dish touched by fingers, seeing mens fingers are not alike cleane. Ileroupon 1 myself thought good to imitate this Italian fashion by titis forked cutting of the mcatc, not only whilo 1 was in Italy, but also in Gcnriany, and oftentimes in England since I camo homo being once quipped for that frequently using my forke, by a certain learned gentleman, a familiar friond of mino, Mr. Lawrence Whitakor who, in his merry humor doubted not to call mo at table, Fcrcifcr, only for using a forko at feeding, but for 110 other causo."

READ THIS EXTRAORDINARY CASK December 25th, 1848. DR. SWAYNE—Dear Sir: Having contracted a severe cold, which settled upon my lungs, attended with a violent cough, pain in my side and breast difficulty of breathing, 1 was attended by physi cians of the first respectability,but my symptoms became very alarming there was an abscess formed in my lungs and made its way through my side, and discharged large quantities of puss externally, so that my physicians thought the power or functions ot one of my lungs were totally destroyed—therefore supposed the case entirely hopeless. This mournful state of things continued for a long time, until I was wasted and worn to a skeleton. I had tried a number of remedies, but all failed to do any good. But there still being a spark of hope left with me and my anxious parents, and having heard of the great virtues of yourCOMPOUND SYRUP OF WILD

CHERRY,

and of its being recommended by physicians of the first eminence, I concluded to make trial of it, and to my great satisfaction my cough gradually

better, the hole in my side Began toheal, ana am now happy to say, from a poor and almost hopeless skeleton, I have become healthy, and weigh more than 1 ever have. All my neighbors can testify to the above facts.

For the last four years I have been afflicted with the asthma. Sleep had become a stranger to me night after night would I have to sit up in my bed. 1 was attended by four or five different physicians, •also having used various patent medicines, but all of no avail. I continucu to grow worse, until 1 commenced the use of your valuable Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry, which afforded me instant relief. After using several bottles I was restored to perfect health.

CALIFORNIA GOI.D! DISCOVERED BV SIGNOR D^ALVEAll'S GOLDOMETER

THE

Gold Seeker's Guide 2 "••AsSecret Art of finding Gold, Silver, Iron*

Lead, Copper, Coal, and other

Mineral Riches.

The first discovery of gold in California wasH made by DON JOSE D'ALVEAR, an eminent^® Spanish Geologist, Chemist, and Natural Philosopher, by means of a newly invented Magnetic in* A 8trument, called The Goldometer, or Gold Seeker's Guide!^

Signor D'Alvear has just arrived at New York

from the Gold regions of California, by way or Panama, Chagres, and New Orleans, bringing with him a very 'large quantity of gold ore, v«U ued at nearly one million of dollars, which he coN

lected there, long before the existence of th mines became known to the residents of a! generally.

History of the Discovery,

Signor D'Alvear went out to California nearly two years ago, in consequence of certain information which he had received of the geological character of that countryt with the firm belief" that vast mines of precious metals would be ffcvealed there upon careful investigation. He was etteouraced to this enterprise, also, by his confidence initio powers of a certain nidgnetic instrument which he had invented, called the "Goldometer," by whose' aid he expected to be directed at once to the "Gold Placers," if any such existed.- Nor were his expectations disappointed. His scientific calculations proved to be founded in trlitii tfnd profound wisdom, and his new instrument, the "Goldome* ter," fulfilled his highest hopes. In less than twd months after reaching California, he struck uporf one of the richestgold mines in that country, upori ail obscure branch of the Sacramento river, in 4 gorge of hills extremely rocky and difficult of access, and seldom visited by the native Califomians. Disguising his object under the pretence of purely scientific research, he obtainea the aid of some fifteen or twenty simpleand faithfUl Indinns, and steadily pursued his task, collecting ofteii more than $3,000 worth of gold in a single day? which he concealed in a deep ravine, without citing any suspicion whatever, until after thoj,' covery of gold at Capt. Sutter's mill vv«U" fnen

is now found that the real mines or sources of th«f gold, lie in the gorges of the mountains, and not in the beds or sands of tlie rivers. Previous to leaving California, Signor D'Alvear sold his instrument, the Goldometer, a very imperfect one, for $3,000. The person who purchased it confi-' dentlv expected to make a handsome fortune by simply finding "gold placers" and selling out tho right of digging to the gold workers. \... Manufacture of the Goldometer, And Publication of the Guide.

Signor D'Alvear, in compliance with the request of numerous scientific gentlemen, hns commenced the manufacture of his new magnetic instrument, the GOLDOMETER, which he now offers for sale in the United Stntes, nf the remarkbly low price of THREE DOLLARS each, accompanied by full instructions for use, and a variety of philosophical hints, drawn from tho ancient and modern sciences, or

The Art of finding Mines of Gold! Silver, Platinum, Quicksilver. Coal, Iron, Copper* Lead, and other Mineral Riches, the whole beinir given in a publication called tbe

Gold Seeker's Guide!

This new work nnd tho GOLDOMETER, are both now ready for sale. The GOLOOMETER is so simple an instrument that a child may learn to operate with it in five minutes. It is not affected by climate, moisture, or any other known cause, (except the natural magnet,) nnu will retain its power of pointing out mineral riches in the earth for any number of years. By the aid of the guide any person may use tho instrument with perfect success.

Farmers and Land Owners. Farmers and land owners throughout tho United States, who have reason to suspect the existence of any kind of mineral riches upon their lands, should avail themselves of this opportunity to test

J*5^ surest of oil known tests, Itoforo the abundance of discoveries in all parts of the Country shall have lessened litis source of weiUth in their estate.

ASTOR HOUSE, NEW YORK, Dec. 21,1848. "p undersigned, having this day witnessed tho practical operation of Signor Jose D'Alvear'snewly invented magnetic instrument,Jthe GOI-DOMITER, feel entirely satisfied that it possesses the extraordinary power of detecting mineral ores hidden beneath the surface ot tho earth, and have no doubt it will prove an invaluable aid in the discovery of the mineral resources of the United States and tho world.

J. R. DRAPER, Jr., Chemist. Magnetic Ins. Maker. G. S. DANA, Geologist.

Los ANQEMS, CALIFORNIA, August, 1848. This may certify that the undersigned is fully convinced that Signor Jose De Alvear was the first discoverer of the gold deposits of California, and that this discovery was made by tho aid of a magnetic instrument called the GOLDOMETER, which I have seen successfully applied to the discovery of veins of gold ore, in places where no indications of that substance appeared upon the surface of tho earth. T. W. SHERMAN, Lieut. 3dArt. U.S.A.

No Agents.

In consequence of the difficulty of finding faithfill agents, and of preventing frauds, where articles of this nnture are sent out for general sale, Signor De Alvear has determined to sell none of his works or instruments unless ordered by letters sent directly to him, when the desired publication or instrument will be forwarded under his signature and seal, so that all doubt as to its genuineness may be removed.

KrBEWARE OF ALL IMITATIONS of this instrument which may hereafter appear, as the secret of imparting the Gold Detecting power is known to no person whatever, except the original inventor. »-Thc GOLDOMETER, and GOLD SEEKER'S GUIDE, will both be sent by mail, closely enveloped and sealed, and therefore not subject to

Advcntnrers to California. Persons going to California cannot make a better investment than by purchasing one of these instruments, which will not only be worth fifty times its value there, tosell again, but will be of inestimable worth to those who go in search of Gold, as has been proved by the most abundant experiment, both in California and the United States.

Testimonials.

Signor D'Alvear does not deem it necessary to encumber this uotico with along list of testimonials, in proof of the vnlite of his GOLDOMETER and GOLD SEEKER^S GUIDE. The'brilliant result of his labors in California, and the discovery, this very week, of fresh veins of Gold in Virginia, and beds pf Coal in Rhode Island, by its use, are alone sufficient to stamp it as the greatest dis-, covery of the age. Nothing but tne extreme' cheapness of the instrument, and his desire to see it used for the benefit of mankind, induces him to dispose of it at the low price for which he offers it. Besides tlus, his own desire for wealth is near ly satisfied.

The,following testimonials, in proof of the value ot the Goldometer, selected from a great number equally satisfactory, must suffice for the present
