Testing of Cannon.
A correspondent of the Charleston Standard writes thus respecting the manufacture and testing of cannon at Washington:
Guns are cast in any shape that may be suggested by the process of investigation, then fired to test their projectile force, then fired until they burst, and the result has been attained, with every care to determine the causes and conditions of the experiment, sections of the broken metal are carefully drilled out from different parts of the piece from the muzzle and the breech, and the inside and the outside, and each piece is subjected to a strain, one end is fastened to a frame, and the other is taken hold of by machinery, and the power is so magnified that the iron is obliged to part.— In the process of these experiments, one fact has become pretty well established which rather contradicts received opinion. It has been supposed that the cannon always cooling from without, and the outside contracting, therefore around the inside still extended by heat, would become more brittle, but this, in such tests as have been used, would not seem to have been the case. A bar cut from the outside of the cannon will generally part with about the same amount of extension as a bar cut from the inside, whether it be taken from a longitudinal or vertical section of the gun. Another fact of some importance, however, has been established. It is found that the strength of the gun maybe much increased by taking the weight of the metal from the muzzle and casting around the breech. A gun, for instance has been cast with a view to this experiment, which was much thinner at the muzzle than cannons usually are, but which was by so much the thicker a the breech, where the charge explodes. It was fired some 1200 times under every conceivable condition likely to insure the explosion, and when it did burst the fracture occurred at the breech, as is usually the case with cannons. ~~~~~~~
Shaving upon the Sabbath Declared Legal. In the Police Court this morning Justice Russel delivered the opinion of the Court, in the case of E. C. Deming, barber. In this case the defendant was charged first, with doing work on the Lord's Day, shaving other persons than himself, the same not being a work of necessity or charity second, with keep lug open his work-house for the same purpose. On a former complaint, the defendant was acquitted on a technical point—that his place of business was rot a shop. In that decision he (Justice Russel did not acquiesce. In the present case the first point was whether •having was a work of necessity or charily. On this point the Justices of the Court were all agreed that it was.— If shaving by a barber of another person upon the Sabbath is not a work of necessity or charity, iheji is a person who •haves himself liable, and even the cooking of food upon that day is illegal. The exchange of ministers, ihe celebration of the marriage rite, or the performance of the funeral ceremony, might be held as an infringement of the Sabbath. lie alluded to the more liberal sentiment prevailing in modern times in regard to the observance of the Sabbath, •nd in conclusion said that he was aware that the most of those engaged in the business would greatly prefor to have their places closed, but that does not alter the law in the matter. In the decision of the point in regard to keeping open shops, Justice Rogers had doubts upon some parts of the decision. The result of the decision was that the defendant was ordered to be discharged. —Boston Trav.
Alcohol a Preventative of Consumption.
I have long been of opinion, and have freely advanced it, thai tho use of alcoholic drinks prevents consumption. In practice of twenty~five years, I hove not seen a case of consumption in what is called a drinking man, nor have I heard of one. I am a temperance man in principle, and am fully satisfied that alcohol has dono more harm than all the wars, famines, and pestilences, thnt have afflictod the world. I think the theory of its operation can be explained. The tubercular diathesis is incompatible with tho state of tho system in a regular toper. The pale, feeble and cachcciic are most subject lo tuberculois, and the most beautiful and delicate of the female sex (and they never drink) are tho spe cial marks at which ihe insaiinto archer aims his phthisical darts. The tubercular deposits soldom take place until after tho system is partly broken down by want of nutrition, or by exhaustion from some cause. Respiration and animal heat are kepi up by carbonaceous matters being taken into the blood, to combine with oxygen in the lungs and tiss ues. Alcohol finds its way here with ihe greatest facility, not requiring the tedious and often difficult process of assimilation. Cod-liver oil, too, perhaps, acts in a similar manner on similar principles. I must not be understood as recommending drunkenness, hardly, to save life. I should be pleased to see the experience and observation of others on this point in the Journal.

J. C. AYER. Dear Sir,—My little son, four years old has just recovered from a severe attack of malignant Scarlet Fever, his throat was rot ten, and every person that visited him pronoun ced him a dead child. Having used yourCnERKY PECTO::AL in California, in the winter of 1850,for a severe attack of Bronchitis, with entire success, I was induced to try it on my little boy. 1 gave him a tea spoon full every three hours commencing in the morning, and by ten o'clock at night I found a decided change for the better, and after three days use, he was able to eat or drink without pain.
Its use in the above named disease will save many a child from a premature grave, and relieve the anxiety of many a fond parent. For all af fections of the Throat and Lungs, 1 be'ieve it

I take pleasure in selling it, because I know that I am givf my customers the worth of their money, an feel gratified in seeing the benefit it confers.

THIScelebratedbecome
and most remarkable Hair re
storative has in a Tcry short period not only popular, but a great favorite. The most skeptical are now satisfied that it will positively restore grey air to its original color, and reproduce a luxuriant growth ot hair on baldheads. It will prevent the premature falling off of the hair, and impart a soft and glossy appearance, as if it had been recently oiled, and will thoroughly cleanse the scalp from dandruff. All of this, hundreds of our citizens have realized, some of whom have been silver white and bald for the past ten or fifteen years. Many ladies have been cured of neuralgia and ulcers in tho head by its use. It is put up in quait bottles at $3 pints, 2 and half pints at $1 each. Testimonials of its almost miraculous effects can be had at the Wholesale and Retail agency, in Terre Haute, Indiana.

3PICATED INHALATION.
A NewMetnod.
A
MOST wonderful discovery has recently been made by Dr. CU RTIS, for tho cure ol Asthma, Consumption, Bronchitis,Conghs, Colds and all Lung Complaints, by Medicated Inhalation. Dr. Curtis's Hygeana,or Inhaling Hygean Vopor and Cherry Syrup, has accomplished^ the most wonderful cures of Asthma and Consumption in the city of New York and Vicinity for a few months past, ever known to man. It is pro during an impression in Diseases of the Lungs never before witnessed by the Medical Profession. [See certificates in hands of Agents.]
The Inhaler is worn on the breast, under the linen, without the least inconvenience, the hent of the body being sufficient to evapornto the fluid -supplying the lungs constantly with a healing and agreeable vapor, passing into all the air cells and passages ot the lungs that cannot possibly be reached by other medicine.
Here is a case: ASTHMA CURED. BROOKLYN, N. Y., Dec. 30,1853. For about eight years I have been severely afHic ted with the Asthma for the last two years 1 have suffered- beyond oil my powers of dcscrip tion months at a time I have not been able to sleep in bed, getting what rest I could sitting in my chair. My difficulty of breathing, and my sufferings, were so great at times, that for hours together my friends expected each hour would be my last. During the past six years I have had the aid and attendance of some of tho most celebrated physicians, but have received no pertr.a nent benefit, and but little relief. I at length had the good fortune to procure Dr. Curtis's Hygeana or Inhaling Hvgean Vapor and Cherry Sjjrup.— At the time I fiist obtained it, 1 was suficringunder one of my most violent attacks, and was in great distress, almost suffucn'ing for want of Breath. In less than ten minutes ftom the time 1 applied the Inhaler to my stomach, and took a teaspoonful of the Cherry Syrup. 1 was relieved in a ereat measure from the difficulty oi breathing andnad a comfortable night. I have since continued it with the greatest possible benefit, and am now comparatively well. God only knows the amount of suffering this medicino has relieved me from. My advice to the suffering is—TRV IT

a CONSUMPTION CURED. NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 1853. I came to New York in tho ship Telegraph my native place is St. John's, New Brunswick when I reached this city, my health was ver) poor had a very bad cough, raised a good deal ot matter which was frequently mixed with blood bad pain in mv left side, and was very weak and emaciated. My friends and phvsician pronounced my case Consumption, and beyond the reach of medicine. I accidentally heard of Dr. Curtis's Hygeana, or Inhaling Hygean Vapor and Cherry Syrup, and obtained a package, which I verily believe was the means of saving my life. Soon after wearing the Inhaler, I found it relieved the pressure on my lungs, and after a while the disease made its appearance upon the surface nnder the Inhaler. I took the Cherry Syrup as directed, and continued to do so, my cough gradually erow. ing better, until it entirely left me, ana 1 now consider myself cored. 1 still wear the Inhaler, as the use of it is rather it strengthening nnd pu unwilling at present to dispense with it.

COMPOUND SYRUP OP
WILD CHERRY, The Original and only genuine "Cherry" Preparation.
READ THIS CAREFULLY. Dr. SWAYNE—Dear Sir: I feel it a debt of gralilude due to you—and a duty to Ihe afflicted generally, lo offer my humble testimony in favor of your Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry. Some three years since, 1 was violenily attacked with cold and inflammation of the Lungs, which was accompanied with a very distressing congh, pain in the breast and head a very considerable discliargeof offensive mnens from the Inngs, especially upon changes of weoiher, however slight) At hrst I felt no alarm about my condition, but was pretty soon convinced that I was rapidly go.ng into consumption. I grew daily weaker and at length was scarcely able lo walk about, or speak above a whisper, such was the exceeding weakness of my lung?. During this time I ha3 tried various preparations and prescriptions, but found no relief—growing all the time worse. Just here I was advised and persnnded hy a deaf friend in Wilmington, to make tri il of your Syrup of Wild Cherry. I must confess that previously 1 had been prejudiced againat potent medicmes, and I am still against those coming onto! the hands of empcrics, but nnderst«nlin« your claims to the profession and practice ot itetlicino and having implicit faith in tbe saying of my friends, I forthwith purchased of Dr. Shaw, ono of your agents, a few bottles and commenced its use. My disease was at this time of 20 or 25 months' standing, consequently wos deeply soated. I found, however, considerable relief from the use of the first fourorfive bottles. But beine a public speaker, I frequently attempted to preach with my incrensing strength ond thereby ruptured those vessels that had already begun to heal in this way doubtless my cure was greatly retarded. In consequence of acting thus imprudently, I had to use 12 or 15 bottles belore 1 was perfectly restored. 1 have no question, a much smaller number of botiles would have made mo sound, but for the above indiscretion. .TheSyrup allayed the feverished habit, did away the di^ tressing cough, put a stop to the discharge ©f mat. ter from the lunes. and gave them and the entire system good health. I'have dclcrred offer inn this certificate till now for/ the purpore of being perfecily satisfied with t?c permanency of the cure, and now that I feel perfectly well, I offer it with P'nTrV nn «ev.
