We received, by the OceauQueen,Mon-
day evening, intelligence of the death of
the celebrated engineer Robert Stephen-
son. He died on the. 12th of October.
He was born in the year 1803 and was
fifty-six yearsold at the time of his death.
His father was the proprietor of a steam
engine at Newcastle, England, and the
son‘vjearly became an apprentice to the
father. He was absent from Eng-
land for a time, exploring thegold and
siIVer mines of New Grenada and Vene-
zuela. When he returned in 1828, the
subject of railways was occupying public
attention, and Mr. Stephenson obtained
the rise of £500 for a locomotive that
would consume its own smoke, weigh no
more than six tons with its complement
of water and draw a train of twenty tons
at the rate of ten miles an hour. He
nowbecame the supervisor & constructor
of several railways with the reputation of
being the best engineer of England. He
was sent for by the King of Belgium to
plan out a system of railways for his king-
dom. In 1846, he visited Norway to
examine the country for the same pur-
pose. In 1847 he was elected to Parlia-
ment. Most of the leading railways of
England were built under his superin-
tendence, but the greatest monuments of
his genuius are the tubular bridge over
the Conway, and the Menai bridge at
Britannia rock. The last has been con-
sidered a model bridge.

8‘ A singular case or singular decis-
ion of a case—is reported at Stamford.—
The particulars are stated in this wise :
Some months since, a fund of about
$4,000 was being raised for the purchase
of the old Congregational church and
grounds—the church to be removed and
the ground used for a park. Messrs.
Seeley and Hoyt each had subscription pa-
pers. Mr. Todd told Seeley he would
give $5. Hoyt afterward met Todd and
told him he had his name down in a book
for $5. A few days afterward Todd paid
Seeley the! money. On the 3d inst,
Hoyt dunned Todd for the $5—he told
him he had paid Sceley, who testified
that he had acted as agent and paid over
to Hoyt about $1000. Justice Whitney
decided that Todd must pay Hoyt $5,
(thus paying it over twice,) and costs of
suit. Todd appealed. .

W It was stated in a dispatch from
Harper‘s Ferry that the Sharp’s rifles in
the possession of Brown, were those sent
to Kansas by the Emigrant Aid Society.
This society never invested a dollar in
arms or ammunition, and the statement
cannot therefore be true. The funds of
the Emigrant Aid Society were entirely
invested in lands, steam mills and build-
ings, and its property has increased in
value notwithstanding the destruction of
its hotel at Lawrence by the mob. All
the Sharp’s rifles sent to Kansas were
paidfor by private subscription.

1%.. A stirring letter from Mazzini to
the King of Sardinia has been circula-
ting through Italy, wherc it has created
a great sensation. — After alluding to the
fact that his country had sacrificed 50,-
000 men in the late war, and that ten
times that number would be forthcoming
if necessary, Mazzini alleges that the in-
triguers who surrounded the King never
desired the unity of Italy. He claims
that the Franco-Sardinian alliance was
unnecessary, reproaches the King with
having accepted the peace of Villafranca,
and invites him to dare to ally himself with
the people and give them full scope in
their efforts to attain liberty and inde-~
pendence.
Nevertheless, Mazzini’s letter exhibits
more confidence in Victor Emanuel than
he has hitherto manifested.

a good story of the President. It seems
that Mr. Buchanan, on the train which
lately bore him from Lancaster to Col-

came interested in a brakcmau, who was
something ofa wag, and made up "his
mind to " do something” for him. On
the arrival of the train at Columbia, Mr.
Buchanan accosted the brakeman, when
the following dialogue took place :
Mr. Buchanan—“ Young man, are you
employer] on this train ?”
Brnkcman—J‘ Yes, Sir.”
Mr. Buchanan (patronizingly) --How
would you like to have a situation at the
White House ?”
Brnkeman (mischeviOusly)—-“Old man,
your time‘s loo sltorl !”
Mr. Buchanan made tracks for the
bridge.

wThe Chapel of the north Congre-
gational Church is nearly completed—a
very handsome building. There are
three rooms below with a large room for
Conference meetings above. The last
will be the best room of the kind in this
region.
The walls of the Baptist Church are
going _up very rapidly. Some changes
have been made in the dimensions of the
building. It is not to be 91 feet square
as at first stated, but 91 by about 85 in-
cluding of course the Conference room.—
This will be ofthe same height as .the
main portion of the structure. The plan
is something new we believe, but is said
to be approved by good architects.

The Diamond Wedding.
We publish odour outside to-day‘, a very
pleasant little satirical poem, from thc pen of
our old friend Stcdmauavhilom of the Nor-
wich Tribune, thence of the Winstcd Herald,
which appeared in the Tribune, “doing up”
the Diamond Wedding, which has set all the
noodles of upper-tendom ill New York half
crazy for a month past. It is asserted that
the father of the lucky bride went so far as to
employ reporters of the New York press to
enumerate all the prcsen ts.artieles of wardrobe
&c., of the daughter. Be this as it may,
there was a most disgusting. if not indecent
recital of particulars, extending to the num-
ber and quality of those undergarments
usually worn nearest the skin, a min nte des-
cription of kind and quality of garters,
which were to encircle the fair one’s pedal
extremities &C- This abandon of detail .0
moved our sensitive and susceptible little
friend “ Ned," so that he immediately “ went
and gone and done” this poem. and while the
poet was congratulating himself on the favor
his poem received, and dreaming of the lan-
rels which fame would twine around his brow,
and the money which reputation would pour
into his pocket, Mr. Washington Bartlett, the
father of the bride, was waxing wrath with
indignation. Having obtained Mr. Stcdman's
avowal that he was the author, he proceeded
in accordance with the precepts of the code
of honor, to obtain an apology or a meeting
in the field. But the Connecticut boy was
" game” and wouldn’t back down, so Mr.
George Washington Bartlett did that grace-
ful thing himself, (just as the young poet
supposed he would,) and with a furor of bins-
tcr now threatens red tape, writs, capiasms,
judgments ,&c.,unless the wag publicly recants
his libel, and withdraws it from the public
eye; in the laudable effort to do which our
friend Stedman is havi the aid and assis-
tance of the whole press of the country in
sUppressing the “ pome.” So that the more
than half addled father can console himself
with the fact that he has not only made a su-
preme ass of himself, and shown the white
featherinto the bargain, but that he has so
advertised the affair that ten thousand will
now read the satire, where but one read it
before. Moreover, after having stood the
gauntlet of the newspaper press of the coun-
try—some enterprising publisher has caught
it up and is now about to issue it in book
form after the“Nothing to Wear” and “Two
Million” fashion. -

fiWe publish in another column a letter
addressed tolus,(in answer to our own inquiries
and letters from the West) by a gentleman who
for along life has been one of the most active
and sagacious politicians of the Empire State
and now a resident 'of our own town ,—giving
his views and an expression of his individual
preferences for the candidate of the Republi-
can I‘arty in 1860. While we concur in all
he says of Mr. Sewaxd’s qualifications and
attainments, we feel no certainty that a suffi-
cient number of the American people sympa-
thize in our own views to ensure his election,
—a fact which would deter us from adopting
him as our candidalein the present exigences
of the country. The fact is patent to the
whole Union, North and South, that the peo-
ple, both democratic and republican, are sick
and disgusted beyond endurance with the
present Administration, and it only requires
the nomination of any moderate man of just
national views and fair attainments as a
Statesman, by the Republican Party, to sweep
the country as it did in the memorable contest
of 1840.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 10.
Sir :—I have lately received informa-
tion of a movement of so great impor-
tance that I feel it to be my duty to 1m-
part it to you without delay. I hare
discovered the existence of a secret or-
ganization, having for its object the lib-
eration of the slaves at the South, by a
general insurrection. The leader of the
movement is “ old John Brown,” late of
Kansas. He has been in Canada during
the winter, drilling the negroes there,and
they are only waiting his word to start
for the South to assist the slaves. They
have one of their leading men, a white
man, in an armoryin Maryland. Where
it is situated, I have not been able to
learn. As soon as everything is ready,
those of their number who are in the
Northern States and Canada are to come
in small companies to their rendezvous,
which is in the mountains of Virginia.—
They will pass down through Pennsylva-
nia and Maryland, and enter Virginia at
Harper’s Ferry. Brown left the North
about three or four weeks ago, and will
arm the negroes and strike the blow in a
few weeks, so that whatever is done must
be done at once. They have a large
quantity of arms at their rendezvous, and
are probably distributing them already.
As I am not fully in their confidence,
this is all the information I can give you.
I dare not sign my name .to this, but
trust you will not disregard the warning
on that account.
The Democratic press are charging Gov.
Seward, who is now ill Egypt. with being an
accessory. But here a prominent leader of
the sham-Democracy, ,a member of the Cabi-
net, received n notice in black and whitc,and
still he paid no attention to it whatever. 'Is
he not implicated? Was he one of the con-
spirators, and may not this be, a trick of‘the
Shams, who, finding their power rapidly
leaving them, and their chances of success in
the next election growingbcautifully lessday
by day, have Sprung this trap upon the coun.
try, hoping thereby to more firmly unite the
South and divide in}. North?
By the way, a letter found in old Brown’s
possession is signed “ Isaac.” The Hartford
Press pertinently asks if thisis not the patri-
otic Touoey ? Is not here a deep laid plot
to manufacture political capital for a bank-
rupt and defunct party? The confessions of
the New York Herald, and these later devel-
opments certainly squint that way.

that the young ladies of that place held

their beaux and sweethearts.
fifl‘ Now, girls, won’tyou please undertake
a similar enterprise for Norwalk? Nothing
would bring the young men to the rescue like
a vigorous movement on your part, in behalf
of a Winter Course of Lectures. Shall we
have them?

night, struck a sunken rock off Sands’
Point, and sunk in fifteen feet of water.
Her passengers were rescued by the
Mayflower. The Long Island is valued
at about $35,000, and will probably be
raised. ,
fl‘We find "the above going the rounds
of our exchanges. It is a mistake as far as
her running to Norwalk is concerned. The
Confidence is the only steamer that we have
here,and she is now making her trips with
clockwork regularity. The Long Island, we
believe was on the Glen Cove. Cold Spring

Corrupondenccqf the Gazette.
EDITORS OF THE NOBWALK GAZETTE ;
Dear Sir :—In answer to your question
“ Who is your Candidate for the Presidency
in 1860 2'” I reply. whoever,is nominated by
the Republican Convention upon (/u'i r plat
form of 1856. If you ask me who would be
my first choice for that office, I answer Wil-
liam H . Seward. Gov.S. I have known some-
what intimately thirty years, during which
period I have wafchcd his course attentively,
and can say in all sincerity, that I know no
man in our country better qualified in every
respect, to discharge the duties of President
of the United States. To talents of lhe
highest order, and extensive acquirements, he
unites elevated character, enlightened state-
manship, and a disinterested patriotism. His
speeches in the Senate of New York, his mes-
sages to the Legislature of that State, and his
speeches in the Senate of the United States
are worthy the best days ofGrceee and Rome,
and exhibit a comprehensiveness of view rare-
ly witnessed. After the publication of his
correspondence with Gov. McDowell of Vir-
ginia, John Quincy Adams remarked that he
wasgthe only man in this country, who had
discussed the subject of Slavery philosophi-
cally; and at an earlier period, Chief Justice
Spencer of New York said the man seemed
to have been born a Statesman.
His speech in the S‘te of the United
States in 1850, in opposition to the Fugitive
Slave Law, although by no means one of his
greatest efforts, should commend him to the.
lovers of freedom everywhere. Gov. Seward
had read from the revealed truth of God,1)eal
justly with all "ma. He read in the Fugi-
tive Slave Law, Deal injustice to the man of
color, and he did not hesitate .to tell grave
Senators that there was aconscience at the
North and West that would respond to the
higher law, and that sentiment, one of the
noblest ever uttered in the Senate of the Uni-
ted States, wus scouted from one end of the
land to the other. Treason l shouted the
Slave Oligarchy of the South. Treason ! re-
echoed their supple tools in the North; in
which, to their shame be it said, some of the
professed ambassadors of Jesus Christ joined;
and, now I ask, who was the sagucious states-
man? whose prediction has been fulfilled to
the letter? Why, we all know, that the fa-
cilities for the escape of slaves have been in-
creased fourfold by the passage of that act.
Thousands, nay tens of thousands of consci-
entious men in the Free States, who had not
before lifted a finger, and would not to dis-
turb Slavery in the States where it is located.
now have a crust of bread, and a Godspeed
for the bondman, on his flight to freedom ;
and so will it ever be.
Whether a later opinion expressed by Gov.
S. at Rochester, that the conflict between
Freedom and Slavery will go on until one or
the other is abandoned, shall prove equally
prophetic, time must determine. Mr. Web-
ster in his life-time entertained and expressed
the same opinion, and the sectional altitude
assumed by the South of late years would
seem to justify it. It is a significantfact that
every Northern Freeman who stands by the
Declaration of Independence, is a proscribed
man South of Mason’s do Dixon’s line.
Gov. Seward is truly a national man, as all
his votes in Congress clearly show. Save his
resistance to the intolerance and encroach-
ments of Slavery, without which he could not
be a national man, for the mission oflthis Gov-
ernment as understood and defined by its
founders, is to enlarge and extend the bounds
of freedom—Aside from ibis opposition to
the policy of the Slave power, I remember
no vote of his to which North or South, East
or West could take exception, and he is as
far removed from everything like dema-
l gogueism as any man in "re land. I know,
no one less inclined to defer to the term er-
pediency. I underscore the last sentence be-
cause I am aware it differs from the received
opinion of some of his political friends.—
I’crhaps it would be difficult to name an indi-
vidual who has been more misrepresented, or
in relation to whom more misapprehension ex
ists, than Gov. S. Witness the prejudice
against him that pervades the entire South,
when no safer man for that section of the
Union could be found. But such has ever
been the fate of men of mark. Whatever
may be the verdict of the present generation,
rely on it history will class William II. Sew-
ard with Thomachffersou and DeWitt Clinton
as among the most sagacious and patriotic
statesmen of the ages in which they respec-
tively lived.
With the expression of my preference for
Gov. Seward, I will add, there are fifty men
in the Republican ranks fully competent to
discharge the duties of President of the Uni-
ted Stales, and any one of them nominated
upon the Republican Pl .tform of 1856.(which
by the by was the best manifesto ever put
forth by any political party in this country,
will receive the cordial support of every true
Republican. There, are a score of names in
the Free States of the West that would rally
the friends of freedom throughout the coun-
try, and on the other side of the Great River
is a gentleman who would do honor to any
station in the land, and who is perhaps the
only Republican who would probably receive
the vote of Slave Slates.
Respectfully and truly yours,
CHANDLER. STARR.

The Object Boldly Avowed.
The New York Herald, the paper most
industrious in laboring to influence the feel
ings of Southern people by misrepresenting
and exaggerating the importrance of the
Harper’s Ferry fiasco. is altogether more
frank in avowiug the purpose in view.
than the majorly of Democratic prints.—
That paper says that the Democratic vigilant
authorities _—-the kid-gloved Fifth Avnoodle
Club which has undertaken to lead the Dead
Rabbit Democracy—will soon publish :locu
menls prepared exprcszlly with a view to turn
the affair to account and make it serviceable
to the party. The Herald says Amen, anal
adds that fhisis " the last chance.” If the
medicine don’t work, the Democracy have
little to hope for; . .
It is well that such a reasonable notice is
given the American people as to the'object
which those forthcoming documents-are de-
signed to acccomplishr That being under-

Trial of John Brown.
John Brown, Coppie, Stevens and two negroes, the
survivor s of the Harper’s Ferry insurrection, were ur-
raigned at Charleston, Va., on Tuesday, for prelimina-
ry' examination before a. justices’ court. Col. Daven-
port presided and was assisted by seven magistrates.—
Guards were stationed around the court house, buyo-
nets glistened on all sides. At half-past ten o’clock
the prisoners were brought in under an escort of 80 ar-
med men, Brown and Coppie being manncled together.
Charles B. Harding and Andrew Hunter appeared for
the prosecution. The court asked if the prisoners had
counsel, when John Brown said :
“ 1 did not ask for any quarter at the time I was tu-
ken. 1 did not ask to have my life spared. The Gov-
ernor of the State of Virginia tendered me, the assu r-
unce that I should have a. fair trial. If you seek my
blood you can have it without this mockery ofa trial.
I have had no counsel 1 have not been able to advise
with any one. If we are to be forced with a mere form
—-a trial for execution—you might spare yourself the
trouble. I am ready for my fate. I beg for no mockery
ol'n trial, no insult. nothing but that which conscience
gives or cowardice drives you to practice. I ask again
to be excused from the mockery ofa trial. I have now
little further to ask other than that] may not he fool-
ishly insulted only as cowardly barbarians insult those
who full into their power.”
John Brown makes no confession. He says he has
fllll confidence God will rescue llim ;llebasmuny1imes
been in asgreut peril as now, but God always befriends
him. He fears nothing.
He also rcpudiates the idea of his being insane. Hi
trial is now being forced along in the Circuit Court} of
Virginia, in mostlndecent haste. But as the whole
state is fairly frightened out ofits wits, even now that
old Brown is captured, sick and wounded, and guarded
by a regiment of bayonets, perhaps their haste is excu-
sable.

Arrest of Cook.
Cook, the companion of Brown, was arrested near
Chamberspurg, Pu., last week, and committed to await
a requisition from Gov. Wise. Having heard ofjlhe ar-
rest by telegraph, Wise sent on [the requisition, and
Cook is now in a Virginia jail. .
Cook was arrested at Montalto, 14 miles from Chain-
bersburgll. His printed commission, signed by Brown,
was found upon his person. He was fully armed, but
almost starved, and came downfrom the mountains to
obbinyrovisions.
Old Brown.
At the close ofa long article under this caption, the
Win sled Herald gives utterance to the following elo-
quent sentiments ;
For one. we confess we love him, we honor him. we
applaud him. He Is honest in his principles,courageous
ill their defence. and we have yet to be taught. reading
from that Book of Inspira”on, we all acknowledge, how
and w ein old Brown is a ~nnsgressor. Do with him
as we “’1", his ashes will some day be nathcred to a he.
ru’u lolnb. his name will be written with the Winkler-
eids and 'l‘ells and Washington's of history, and the
American scl.ool-hoy shall yet be taught to listen with
moistcning eye and beating heart to the story of Old
John Brown.

A Goon SAFE—Tile Hartford papers record the burn-
ing up ofa safe in that city by u. tort‘of spontaneous
combustion. It stood in the store of Wm. B. Smith,
merchant tailor. The safe is “one o! the Old‘fflsllloned
kind," filled with round-headed bolts, and precisely
similar to the one in which the Norwalk Probate Rec-
ords were wllilom, so securely stored. It stool] near a
stove, the bent of which caused the plank between the
outer and inner linings to ignite. Mr. Smith had it
drawn on the walk in front of his store, where it
remained through the night and the following day,
smoking. What a fortunate thing for our Probate Dis-
trict and our l’robafe Judge, that no spontaneous rom-
busflnn was permitted to destroy the old, sombre off-
cial chest, but that it met a heroic fate at the great
conflugmtion that so severely tested the qualities of its
more pretentious rivals which hnd just then supplufl.
ed the old fellow in the hearts of e Selectmen. We
saw the old chap all ablaze in its anishing glory—-
t
burning like a pine-knot.

How Southerners Talk. ’
Of course the administration papers who met in all
manner of garbage in search of party advantage,
whether of the North or South, magnify the Job u
Brown attempt apparently with the intent of impress-
ing the slaves with the idea that there are multitudes
of white men all along the borders and throughout the
North ready at any moment to aid an insurrection,
and constantly plotting treason and blood. But the
more sensible class of journals not so besofted nor des-
perate, talk with a. sense that it would be in vain to
ask the administration papers of the North to imitate.
The Baltimore l’atriot quoting from its neighbors
with ls running comment, says :
The Sun in its comments on the Harper’s Ferry affair
very justly declares it “degraded beneath sympathy
and excites nothing but contempt as a miserable cari-
cature of insurrectionnry ambition." Its special re.
porter pronounces the leader a “monomaniac, possess-
ing a strong will,” and says oIhis followers that their
weakness of'chnructer,” enabled him to gain that “as-
cendancy over them which .ed to their destruction."—
Duubtlcss this is the cuss. . .
The Clipper correctly characterizes the affalr as an
“ net of an irresponsible madman, aided by a low reek.
less licspernd who where infatuated by his strange
fanaticlsln."* _
The American in his remarks upon the subject says
very truly : " Nothing but a Wild fanaticism unnum-
lug almost to insanity, could account for twenty lneu
combining together in such a foolhard’ enterprise.”

The Steamer New World Sunk.
The fine steamer Ncw World left New York
for Albany on Wednesday eveningmnd about
7t o’clock when off Spuyten Duyvil Creek,
ller walking beam broke. and from its cnor~
mous \vcigllt fell through the bottom of the
steamer, shattering her centre and rendering
her a perfect wreck.
She began to fill at once—immense vol-
umes of water rushing into her hold—and In
about twenty minutes from the time of the
falling of her beam, she had sunk. with her
entire valuable cargo, and it is feared, sever-
al Passengers. The passengers,of whom there
were about three hundred , were taken from
her by the steamboat Ohio and some sailing

The basket for the aerial navigator is made of

m. It is quite doubtful whether the Great
Eaalcrn makes her appearance in an Atlantic
port this winter. The s eclal correspondent
of the New York Times, whose business it is
to come over in the ship, when she comes, and
who was on board at the time of the explosion
says the ship was sent to sea, with several
hundreds of persons on board, and no respon-
sible head, and no system of subordination.—
No man could say who was responsible for
the working of the machinery, and the chair-
man of the company was as ignorant as other
people. The captain of' the ship did not know
who was in command, and the officers were
equally unable to say who had charge or the
engines. The small sum of five millions of
dollars, hard-earned money of somebody’s,
has been laid out, but nobody looked after it.
It is ajoint—stoek concern,and bound toggofibe
way of all such associations. '

ha, One of the foreign letter writers states
that Senator Seward, who is now travelling
in the old world, has gone to Egypt. His
friends abroad are alarmed at the step, for it
is coniidered in Paris much too early in the
season to visit Egypt. The sickly period is
not yet over, and Mr. Seward never has been
acclimated to the peculiar state of the atmos-
phere he will find on the Nile in September.
Besides, quarantine regulations are now in
full force in Egypt, and Mr. Seward may lose
much time in endeavoring to ascend the Nile.
His friends in Paris are anxiously waiting to

THE SIMPLE Therm—The Mystic Pioneer
says of the Harper's Ferry affair, very sensi-
bly and plainly: .
The great fact it bares prominently to our
gaze, is that the whole fabric or Southern so-
ciety stands upon the crust of a volcano, like»
ly at any moment to belch forth its long re-
pressed molten f'ury, a crust so thih and ten-
der lhat the foot march of nineteen men upon
it makes an earthquake. The queslon, then,
for the South, (and we, too, are involved,) to
settle is, what must be done to remedy this
dangerous poaition? The answer is simple,
and to make it so does not require even a view
of the subject in a moral or Christian light,
only in an economical or physical light, and
that answer is, “ Abolish Slavery.” Such a
vast mass of ignorance, degradation and
misery as is involved in the condition of four
millions of slaves, (a number. too increasing
in aratio faster than the free population,)
cannot be loo soon displaced by education,
elevation,virtne,.f0r the security of individ-
uals and society.

h'l’he suit of J. Z. Jr. C. Goodrich, of
Stockbridge,to get theinsurance of $32,000
on their woolen mills, burnt in 1849, still
drags itslow length along. The Protection
company of Hartford have got out of their
risk of $12,500 entirely. by u. decreee of the
Connecticut courts; the suit against the Etna
for the like amount hangs in the New York
court of appeals; and the claim for $7,000
belore a committee. consisting of chief-justice
Willlams of Hartford, Ex-Gov. Hawley of
Stamford, and Henry White of New Haven.—
The arguments in this last case have just been
concluded at Hartford, and the decision is
postponed until December. The companies
deny their liablllty because they insured on a
survey of the premises, on file in the Protea-
tlou office, and to which reference was made
in the policies, and whose stipulations were
not in all respects fulfilled by the assured,
Great Barringlon Courier.

Stereoscope at Whitney’s Gallery, and must confess
they exceed any pictures of the him! we have ever
seen. In addition to a large collection of Foreign and
Amerlcun Views. he has several taken at our doors,
among which is our own humble cut, with self and
family in the fore ground (in the yallcr carriage) excep—
ting one little shaver perched on a lilac bush. We nl~
so observe fine views of the Moody Hoyt place, St.
John’s terrace, rear view of Chollwell’s, Street’s and
Osborne’s houses, harbor view, and pituredque view up
the river as seen from the rear of Gazette Buildings. —
Mr. W. has steruasecpes for sale and will take views of
residences, Family groupes &c., ifwanted. See his

THE CLOSING YEARS OF LIFE are often rendered
wretched by ailments which are trifling in themselves
and easily cured if taken in time. Affection ofthe liv~
en'sfomach and other organs concerned in digestion
are the most frequent. They naturally make the suf-
ferer nervous, irritable and complaining, and relatives
and friends are forced to bear the brunt of their ill llu-
mor. The use of llostettcr‘s celebrated Stomach Bit-
ters will prove an efficient remedy for this evil ; it will
not only strengthen the whole physical organization,
but entirely cure the most obstinate cases of Indiges-
tion, Dial-three, Dysentery and Liver complaint. The
first physicians in the country are loud in their praise
of this preparation. Another recommendation of the
Bitters is that it is so palatable tothe taste that it may
be used even as a beverage Sold by all Druggists, and
by KNAI'P st vans, L. 1.. Burns dl Sex, and E. P. WEED,
