REPUBLICAN RALLY AT DARIEN.

The Republican State Convention.
The peculiar phraseology of the call put
forth by our Central Committee for the Con-
vention at which Presidential Electors are to
be nominated-has been extensively and va-
riously commented upon by the press and
people throughout the State. Hereabouts, it
has been the subject of severe animadvcrsion
among our Republican friends, as well as the
chief "theme of discussion for the past few
weeks.‘ The careful, and evidently studied
exclusion of all reference to the existence of
a Republican organization in this State, by a
Committee receiving and accepting their po-
sition from 9. Convention unequivocally and
in express terms denominated Republican, is
received with wide spread surprise, if .not
just indignation, and it is idle to attempt to
conceal it.
The call of our last State Convention, at
which our Central Committee was chosen,
was as follows:
Republican State Convention.
A Convention of Delegates representing
the Freemen of Connecticut, who are op-
posed to the present National Administration
will be held at Union Hall in the city of
Hartford, on Wednesday, the 25th day of
January next, at 10 o’clock, A. M., for the
purpose Of nominating candidates for Gov-
ernor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of
State,. and Comptroller; also to appoint del-
cgatesfrom this State to the‘next National
Republican Convention, or to take such ac-
tion in ~ relation thereto as shall there be
deemed advisable.‘ The several towns in
this State are requested to send Delegates
equal to twice the number of their Repre-
sentatives in the General Assembly.
Signed by the Republican State Central
Committee.
On the one hand, there can be no just
grounds for charging a lack of liberality up-
on those.who claim that a committee deri-
ving theirposition and powers from a Con-
vention thus called, in accepting the places
they now- fill, become bound, in honor, to
carry out the views and wishes of those
whose agents they assumed to be. For our-
selves individually, whilc we can but look
upon the Committee’s action as weak and
frivolous, We are not disposed to impugn
their motives,'or characterize such action by
any harsher term than an error ijudgmcnt,
and we: most sincerely regret that their lau-
rels,’so'nobly Won in‘ the last Spring’s con-
test, should have been thus foolishly and un-
necessarily tarnished. ,
In the. great State of New ‘York, where
votes were to be made, if anywhere, by
trucklingito the fossils of'conscrvatism, their
State Central. _ Committee came out boldly.
with their call of a REPUBLICAN Convention.
NO, no, gentlemen, let’s have no Weak knees
or slender spines in this canvass. Our cause
of Rustin. of JUSTICE, of HUMANITY, of
TRANQUILITY and UNION all rebuke it. Our
noble, valiant V and defiant leackr gives us the
record 003; whole life condemnatory of all
truckling and cringing! The REPUBLICAN
PARTY is the only orgltm'zatzbn throughout the
length and breadth of this whole land, that
has one single spark of vitality left to it; its
allies are wide awake,_thinking, and deter-
mined men. ‘ of principle, who. contend for
m‘z‘ncszeJa GREAT PRINCIPLE. It is a great
party and as surely destined to bear absolute
sway throughout this Confederacy of States
as that RIGHT is sure to prevail ! If then our
friends on the State Committee are lacking
in faith, hope or courage, or find themselves
laboring under ‘ embarrassment in keeping
step with that unbroken column now march-
ing with LINCOLN to a'REPUBLICAN VICTO-
RY; if they feel themselves inadequate to be
leaders in such a. cause, .why let them throw
up their connnissions like men, fall into line,
and mov‘e ‘On with the privates, while a new
set, with'the power and the pluck, unfurl
that REPUBLICAN . Banner under which the
hosts of COnnecticut frccmen are sure to
achieve ah'hnprccedcntcd REPUBLICAN TRI-
UMP}! in November next !
NO white feathers, or fainting on the field

ceremonies being witnessed by a large con-
course Of people, including many protestant

preached by Rev. Dr. Cummings, and the
rite of confirmation administered by the
Bishop to about forty candidates. The little

. More Grampus.
We observe in the Yarmouth (Mass) Regis-
tera long letter from Falmouth, detailing the
advent, tarry and departure of the Grampus
Club, at that town, in which many very
kind and flattering things are said of our
Norwalk boys. As the writer in his closing
paragraph touches the consort of “Lucinda
Jane” in his most tender parts we give it
herewith':— ..
All honor, we say, to the Grampns Club,—
a band of young men who can take a sail Of
a few days or weeks without the need of
liquor to contribute to their enjoyment, and
who, in their absence from home, among cn-
tIre strangers, can by their gentlemanly pro-
priety and Christian courtesy commend
themselves so successfully to the respect of
somcty. If Norwallewz'res and mothers . and
sisters can all boast of such fine brothers, sons
and companions, we bid them a hearty God
speed on the joprncy of life.
CnULerG ALONG SHORE—We perceive by
the last. Nomoalln Gazette that our cotemporu-
ry, Mr. Byington, who somehow seems to
have more leisure than the majority-of the
craft, has just returned from a two-week’s
excursion to Block Island, Newport, New-
Bedford, Nantucket, and all along shore—in
which he and his companions seem to have
enjoyed themselves hugely. The Club char-
tered a schooner for the occasion, and having
fitted it up with every desirable comfort and
luxury, took their own time, putting into
port whenever they pleased. Wherever they
stopped they were treated with marked at-
tention, and of course have brought home
favorable impressions Of the places they vis-
ited, as well as some fish, to say nothing of
the “fish stories.” Of course we feel no spir-
it Of envy in penning this notice !
Waterbury American.
W Our kind hearted Cotemporary is by
far too generous in his allotment of leisure to
us. The Club, of which we were a member,
extended their excursion to two weeks, but
our part ofz't was condensed into three days,
and our points of attack and retreat being
made mostly by rail. We don’t see but that
we. are subject to the same laws which gov-
ern the craft in general.

runs of the Ncw'York A: New .lluvcu Ruiiroad,l can
but be satisfied with the accommodations with
which they have furnished us, who, from business
or other considerations, take one of the early trains
down and the late oncs back. They are called “Nor-
wulk Special,” leaving the Depot at South Norwulk
at 4.45 and 6.0041. M., and New York at 5.30 and 6.30
P, M. These trains are growing in favor with the
traveling cOIIIInuIIitycvcry week; partly no doubt
because it enables gentlemen to arrive early at their
business in New York—partly because the ab-
sence of dust at so early an hour, makes the ride
agreeable; but more especially in consequence of
the great and growing popularity of our gentleman] y
conductors, Messrs. Allen and Van Wagner, who ul-
tcrnatc in Conducting the two trains. It is nonsense
to ignore a fact .; patent to all travelers, that the con-
duct and popularity of a conductor affects the length
of his train over all other circumstances. However
it is not my present object. to compliment them, but
to allude to one thing I think would accommodate
those who wish to take the early trains—and that is
to make some arrangement with the Dnnbury Com-
pany. whereby these Norwalk Special trains could
become so in fact as well as in name, and start from
the Bridge. Our citizens, I feel sure, would {fully
appreciate such a movement of the Company, and
would act accordingly. The extra expense certainly
cannot be much, and would enable those who, travel
in these trains to get their breakfast before starting.
It. would also be an Object to induce new settlers
among us. The Danbury Company have conveni-
ences for the accommodations of Locomotives and
Cars, and no doubt some reciprocal arrangement
could be made with them. COMMUTER.

From what we see in our exchanges it
must be very guy at Saratoga at this time.—
Onc account represents that “there. are 1500

In the New Haven Journal and Courier,of
the 17th, we find the following paragraph :
There are many beautiful, sensible,
and accomplished ladies here—some from
your own vicinity—who do honor to their
sex.‘ These are at home in the parlor, do-
mestic circle, or in the dance, where we have
occasionally seen them. Attire grand ball
last evening, they were the stars of the occa-
sion, and were universally admired, being
dressed with exquisite taste and in the most
eleoant manner. I would particularly refer
to Ir. G. R. C—ls, Mrs. B—, Mr. L—, Mrs.
H—, and Miss My—s, of your city, and Miss
L—s, of Suflield. They were in eveay case
accompanied by their husbands or immedi-
ate family friends, and gained the most flat-
tering attentions from all present. It is not
my province to go into particulars as regards
dress, besides I would not so fartransgress
all rules of etiquette as to make a lady’s
wardrobe a public theme, especially those
whose censure would be very much regret-
ted by the writer. ‘They need no flattery
from me, as they already occupy the first
place in the galaxy of beauty.

W The success Of Frank Blair, J r., in St.
Louis, was cven'more complete than was at
first claimed. By the ofiicial count, it ap-
pears that there were ovcr 200 tickets polled
for “F. Blair for Congress,” which have not
htthcrto been credited to him. Count these
and he has amajority of 50 or 60 votes’ over
Barret, for the short term, as well as the con-
ceded fact that he is elected for the f all term.
The Sf. Louis Democrat says— .
“Our victory-has been won .without a trade
or coalition of any kind. It is a straight-out
Republican triumph. True, as a general
thing, we gave our votes to the Un-
ion ticket, but this we did from high
motives of public duty, and without asking
or receiving any return. St. Louis is, there-
fore, a Republican city. We had to with-
‘stand the unpleasant sentiment occasioned by
the ‘Impending Crisis,’ a work which, now
that election is over, we will say that we do
not endorse. The contest has been fought
by the Republican party on the Chicago plat-
form, and on the Emancipation principle.—
The one was our national and the other our
State platform throughout the campaign
It is therefore with feelings of just pride,
that we send this message, greeting to our
Republican brethren throughout the country.
We have fought and won the Montebcllo of
the Presidential campaign. We even give
assurance that St. Louis County will go for
Lincoln and Hamlin in November by two
thousand majority, and that these two can-
didates will receive at least thirty-five thou-
sands votes in Missouri. \Vc have satisfied
both ourselves and the pro-slavery party that
the Free-Labor cause can never be crushed
out in this State. The struggle for a mere
footing is closed,.an(l the redemption of the
State is now but a question of time."

the boarders were invited to the parlors, and
had exhibited to them a fine looking, appur-
cntly healthy, and beautifully dressed child
ofthe male gender, and weighing about ten
pounds. '

were addressed by Senators Trumbull, Doo-

burne, Kellogg, Gillespie, Palmer, Judd,
Ogelsby, Browning, and otheI prominent
speakers at 3 o’clock, P. .
Mr. Lincoln made his appearance on the
grounds, accompanied by a few friends. This
was the signal for indescribable uproar. Six
speakers were addressing the people at differ-
ent stands when his carriage drove in, but
the people broke away simultaneously, and
surrounded him by thousands, shouting fran-

to the platform, where he spoke as follows,
amid deafening applause:
“ Mr FELLOW CITIZENS—I appear among

dence, it appeared to be the wish of those
who constitute this vast assembly to see me,
and it is certainly my wish to see all of you.
I appear upon the ground here at this time
only for the purpose of affording myself the
best opportunity of seeing you and enabling
you to see me. '
I confess with gratitude—(be it understood
that I did not suppose that my appearance
among you would create' the tumult which I
witness)—I am profoundly grateful for this
manifestation of your feelings. I am grate-
ful because it is a tribute such as can be paid
to no Inan as a man; it is the evidence that
four years from this time you will give a like
manifestation to the new man who is to be
the representative of the truth on the ques-
tion that no ' agitatcs the public mind, and
it is because you will then fight for this cause
as you do now, or with even greater ardor
than now, though I be dead and gone.
most profoundly and sincerely thank you.
Having said thus much, allow me to .say
that it is my wish that you will hear the
public discussion by others Of our friends,
who are present for the purpose of addres-
sing you; and that you will kindly let me
be silent.” *

TAR AND FEATIIERs IN RIDGEFIELD.—Dr.
Samuel P. Baxter, (we learn from the Dan-
bury Jeffersonian,) some five years ago, when
but 40 years of age, married Miss Polly Burr
a fair damsel of 61 years, possessed of $1200
in cash and about twice as much in land.—
Thcy lived a not‘ very felicitous life together,
the doctor being in the habit of getting
drunk and flogging his tender spouse, till
about six months ago they were divorced-—
Quite recently the doctor came billing and
cooing to his former wife, and July 16th they
were married again. The sturdy brothers of
Polly strongly objected tothe second mar-
riage, it being rumored that she had made a
'will giving her entire property to her loving
doctor. The account proceeds:
- On Tuesday, the 7th inst, the house Of
Baxter was visited by three or four men who
entered by bursting in the door. The pro-
prietor was busy clearing away the supper
table and appeared quite tame and domesti-
cated. The intruders seized him violently,
tore his coat, vest and shirt Off from him,
threw him down, beat 'him with their fists
and then dr gedhim, in an almost uncon-
scious state, mm the house. They then ad-
ministered a coat of tar, pouring it upon .his
head, and plastering it upon his, body with
their hands. Meantime the Dr. yelled fu-
riously, and Polly cried for, help, screaming
“murder! murder l” till she was knocked
down andstrangled by one of the men. The
screams were heard half a mile. Mr. Hull
and other neighbors arrived and the lynchers
run. The injured couple were taken to the
residence of Mr. Hull during the night and
properly cared for the tar being removed the
next da '.
Three of the men have been identified and
arrested, one of whomis Wm. S. Burr.
W11“: Journal of Commerce has a Wash-
ington correspondent who semis his employ-
ers the cheering advices which- follow:
“As to political prospects in Iowa, nothing
favorable can be.said. Lincoln will sweep
everything beforohim, even in Indiana. The
Breckinridge opposition to Douglas has rcn—
dcred this certain. .
“Among Democrats who are. not office
holders or expectants, there is a growing feel-
ing in favor of Bell and Everett, and a faint
hope that New York or Penus lvania will
withhold its Electoral vote from incoln, and.
thus permit the South to send Bell to the
House and Everett to the Senate- No one-
honestly claims the election Of Douglas or
Breckinridge by the people. The only ques-
tion is shall the Democrats conspire to elect
Lincoln, with a view to spite each other.”

W The Great Eastern, aflcr a visit to this
country of forty-nine day, left New York on
Friday afternoon for Halifax and Milford
Haven, With one hundred passengers, no
specie and but little freight. She started
down the river about four o’clock, and with
her screw and paddles, both working, soon
got under good headway. She was visited
in New York by about 159,000 people and in
Annapolis by not far from 200,000. .It is
judged that her receipts were just about suf-
ficient to pay for the round trip. Had she
been managed with tact she might have car-
riedflway from $50,000 to $100,000-but the
directors who came over in her, and were
conceited enough to think that they could
manage her exhibition and movements better
than any one else, went” along regardless of
advice from the consignces and others.- As-
a consequence, the people became disgusted,
and the enthusiam with. which she was re-
ceived, instead of being kept up, very soon
sunk to a. frigid indifference, in which atmos-
phere she departed. , .

A Specimen Breckinridge Man
Ex Speaker Orr, of South Carolina, who
used to make such “national” and Union sav-
ing speeches to the good Democrats of Con-
necticut, publishes a letter on thc Presidential
i Thea" Great
election, in which he utters the following ,
trensonublc scuthncnts :—
“Lincoln and Hamlin, the Black Republi-
can nominees, will be elected next Novem-
ber, and the South will then decide the great
question whether they will submit to the do-
Iuinatiou ofBlack Republican rule—the fun—
damental principles Of their organization be-
ing an open, undisguised, and declared war
upon our social institutions. I believe that
the honor and safety of the South, in that
contingency. will require the prompt seces-
sion ofthe slaveholdiug States from the Un-
ion, and failing then to obtain from the free
States additional and higher guaranties for
the protection of our rights' and property,
that the acceding States should proceed to
establish another Government. But while 1
think such should be the imperative duty of
the South, I should emphatically reprobatc
and repudiate any scheme 'having for its ob-
ject the separate secession of South Carolina.
If Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi alone——
giving us a portion of the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts--\val(l unite with this State in a
common secession upon the election of a
Black Republican, I would give my assent to
the policy."
The Hon. Edward Archbold, who for
twenty years has been a leader of the Demo-
cratic party in Ohio, now cntcrsthe field for
Lincoln and Hamlin. Addressing a large
meeting in Woodsficld, be defined his posi-
tion. The local paper says:
“Mr. Archbold reviewed the whole history
of Congressional legislation upon Slavery in
the Territories, from the time of the forma-
tion of the Government down to the present
time. He gave the Dred Scott case a search-
ing review, and exposed its hideousness in a
convincing and masterly manner. Upon this
branch of the argument he was particularly
happy in his illustrations, which was abund-
antly testified by the thunders of applause
which greeted his triumphant vindication of
the people against the Supreme Court. For
nearly four hours did he keep the crowded
Court House cnchained by his logic and his
eloquence, while he held up the tergiversa-
tions of the Democratic party, and showed
its promises of non-intervention—its prom-
ises to give' ‘fair play‘ to freedom and free
labor—to be the most shameless fraud and
trickery.”
The Chicago Press and Tribune glycs the
following account of an interview between
Messrs. Broderick and Douglas, while the
English bill was pending before Congress:
“On the Sabbath before the final vote on
that bill, a meeting of Anti-Lecompton Dem-
ocrats of both Houses was held at the rooms
of Senator Broderick, to consult upon what
course it was advisable to take in the emer-
gency. A number of the weaker brethren
including Senator Douglas, advised concilia-
tion the South by accepting the English bill.
0n y four or five held out against it. Among
these were Broderick of California, and Har-
ris of Illinois. Mr. Douglas manifested a
willingness to yield, and the gallant Harris
“shed tears of anguish and gave utterance to
his despair." Mr. Broderick rOse solemnly to
his feet and pointing his finger directly to-
ward l 1'. Douglas, and fastening his keen
flashing eye upon him said: ‘You can vote
for the English substitute if you will; but
should you do so, as there is a God of truth
and justice in Heaven, I will denounce you
upon the floor of the Senate for having trait-
orously deserted principle and sold yourself
to the Administration.” This,we arc inform-.
cd, was the language to which Mr. Hickman
made allusion and the use of which, by Brod-
erick, saved Douglas from his own craven
desire to surrender."
One of the Election Districts in St.
Lawrence 00., N. Y., has been canvassed—
with the following result: For Lincoln, 140;
Breckimidge, 7; Douglas,6. The Ogdens-
burgh Journal, which gives this, says that
the County will vote very much in the
same proportion. This is the old Democratic
stronghold—the home of SILAs WRIGHT.
There is a new presidential ticket in the
field. At Greenfield, Mass. on Thursday, a
new flag was flung out labeled “Houston and
Gill.” Gill is a respectable hostler, about
sixty years old. He madea speech accepting
the nomination and promised to run the pres-
idency with fast horses if he should be elect-
ed. Massachusetts seems determined to
to have a V. P. The choice‘now is botwecn
Everett and Gill.
The Washington correspondent of the
Tribune says all shades of Democrats are
thunder-struck by Mr. Blair’s success in St.
Louis. The more sagacious fear that it is an
indication of the great strengthot‘ the Re-
publicans in the West. _ I
At the Syracuse Breckinridge State Con-
vention, Mr. Dickinson took ground that Mr.
Breckinridge was the only real Democratic
nominee, and if there is to be any fusion it
must be by the withdrawal of Mr. Doualas,
and a union of'all on Mr. Breckinridge. 9The
subject Of fusion is left to the discretion of
the State Committee, and they, it is stated,
will do nothing in that direction.
The Chicago Journal says:——‘ The Lincoln
part is in favor of voting Slavery down in
our rec W’cstcru Territories; the Breckin-
ridge party is in favor of voting it up; the
Douglas party don’t care whether it is voted
up or down; and the Bell-Everett party
‘don’t know anything about anything.”
The late able speeChcs of the Hon. G. R.
Babcock and Gen. G. A. Scroggs of Buffalo,
are among the prominent signs of the times.
:Both of these gentlemen have been promin-
' ent members of the American parity of New
York, and both supported Mr. illmore in
1856. Mr. Babcock is an intimate personal
friend of that ex-Prcsident. Mr. Scroggs was
a member of the National Convention which
nominated Messrs. Bell and Everett at
Baltimore. They now find it to be their duty
to enlist under the banner of Lincoln and
Hamlin.
The Southern Uonflderucg of Atlanta, Geo.,
says in answer to the question of “ What will
the South do if Lincoln is elected President?”
.“ We answer this inter-rovatory by simply
stating that the South Will never pcnmt
Abraham Lincoln tome inaugurated Presi-
dent of the United States. This is a settled
and sealed fact.‘ It. is the determination Of
all parties at the South. And let the conse-
quences be what they may—whether the Po-
tomac is crimsOned in human gore, and
Pennsylvania avenue is paved ten fathoms
in depth with mangled bodies, or whether the
last vestigc of Liberty is New from the face
of the American continent, the South, the
loyal South, the constitutional South, will
never submit to guch humiliation and dc ru-
dation as the inauguration of Abraham in-
coln.”
WExtract from a private letter from a
reliable Republican, at Wilmington, Dcl.:
“It is an easy matter for you in Yankee land
to be Republicans, but with us it is aditfereut
affair; we have to heard the lion in his den,
to beat him back in the face of prejudices of
the worst kind ; but what do you think when
I say that more than one half of the whole
oppositiOn in New Castle County WI“ vote
for the nominees of the Chicago Convention,
and throuurh the factions policy of the “Con-
stitution Union enforcement oflnws” leaders
we are gaining voters every day. The per
rentuge .3 “Republican gain In the State OfDel-
aware, over the vote of 1856, Will, be double,
if not triple, that of any ~ other in the
Union. We have a Wide-Awake club in our
city which numbers 100 good and .true Re-
publicans. Ralso have three _other clubs
in vigorous motion in Wilmmgton, viz:
The Lincoln and Hamlin Club, the Young
Men‘s Association of the People’s party, and
the Lincoln and Hamlin RailsSplittcrs, all Of
which are making their mark for the cause.”
WThc Pittsburgh Gazette, a well-posted
and candid paper, gives some quotations,
showing how the Democratic tides run in
Pennsylvania, and thus sums up the matter:
“So far as we are enabled to see,- thc Dem-
ocrats of'Columbiu, Moutour, Northumber-
land, Lancaster, Berks, Dauphin, York and
Montgomery, com prisinw a very large portion
ofthe Democratic vote. ‘In the interior, will
mainly support. Breckinridge, those of the
"l‘enth chion,’ Luzcrne and Schuykill, wul
support Douglusithe central countIes are
about equally divulcd; while a majority In
Philadelphia, the Wilmot district,_an(l . est-
ern Pennsylvania generally, wdl support
Douglas. This would give_ Douglas the
preponderance over Breckenridge, but no:
to so great an extent as Is generalry llL’liCVfK.‘
The N. Y. World says that the leading po-
liticans of New York, angry wIth Horace
‘ Greeley for his opposition to Seward, are de-
termined to throw over board at the coming
State election, every man he gyms.

week, the Br eckinridge party entered his
office, mutilated the forms, run up the Breck-

per under that banner. The affair created
great excitement. A personal-recontre took
place after the meeting between Mr. Sansom

a triumph to our common cause to pass with

the late election fixed St. Louis as flu: ban-
ner city ochpublicanism, and clinches the
charge of corruption and fraud made flgninst
the pro-slavery democracy in 1858. He calls
attention to a comparison of the returns from
Gravois and Carondelet for 1858 with 1860,
which shows a loss of nearly 50 votes in the
former precinct, the whole number polled on
the 6th inst. being 138, while nearly every
other precinct in the State shows a largely
increased vote. He says the names Ofnearly
a hundred of Barrett voters have disappeared
from the poll book in this small precinct.—
In Carondelet, Barrett’s vote is less than in
1858, although the aggregate increase Is near-
ly 150. The names proved to be fraudulent
in 1858 have this year disappeared from the
poll-book. He refers to the large increase in
the 8th and 9th wards, and to the ticket on
which his name was placed—"For Congress,
F. P. Blair, J r.,” without designating the
term, and then says‘ in conclusion2—“Allow
Inc to say that I shall forever remember,
,w1th male and satisfaction the contest Of
1860. To have been the leader of the hosts
of freedom in that battle fills the measure of
my ambition. Again I return my thanks to
the Republicans Of this district, and congrat—
ulate them upon their triumph." ‘

W A most extraordinary cure effected by
Dr. M’Lane’s Celebrated Vermifuge, prepar-
ed by Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh.
NEW YORK, March 19, 1852.
This is to certify tnat I have been troubled
for almost four years with a choking sensa-
tion, sometimes so had almost to suffocate
me; I employed two regular physicians, but
to no purpose. I was then persuaded to try
a bottle of Dr. M’Lune’s Celebrated Vermi-
fuge, prepared by Fleming Bros, Pittsburgh.
I took two teaspoonsful at one dose. It soon
began to operate, when it made thorough
work. (I had a regular worm factory wuhm
me.) I should judge it brought away from
me some two quarts of worms; they had the
appearance of having bursted. I took the
remainder of the bottle at two doses. The
effect was, it brought away about one quart
more, all chopped to pieces. I now feel like
a different person. - ,
The above is from a widow, lady, forty~six
years of age, resident of this city. For fur-
ther particulars, the public are referred to
Mrs. Hurdle, No. 2 Manhattan place, or E. L.
Theall, Druggist, corner of Rntger and Mon-
roe streets. . _ .
Purchasers will be careful, to ask for DR.
M’LANE's CELEBRATED Vumuon, manu-
factured by FLEMING Bnos, of Pittsburgh,
Pa. All other vermifuges in comparison are
worthless. Dr. M’Lanc’s celebrated Vermi-
fugc, also his celebrated Liver Pills can now
be had at all respectable drug stores. None
genuine without the signature of

W The peculiarities of the female constitution,
and the various trials to which the sex is subjected,
demand an occasional recourse to stimulants. It is
important, however, that. these shall be ofa harmless
nature, and at the same time accomplish the desired
end. Hostetter's celebrated Stomach Bitters is the
very article. lts effects in all cases of deblllty are
almost magical. It restores the tone of the digestive‘
organs, infuses fresh vital fly into the whole system,
and gives that cheerful to the temperament. which is
the most valuable of feminine attractions. The pro-
prietors feel flattered from the fact that many of the
most prominent of the medical gentlemen in the ‘
Union have bestowed enconiums upon the Bitten,
the virtues of which they have frequently tested and
acknowledged. There are numerous counter-felts of-
fered for sale, all of which are destitute of virtue, and
positively injurious to the system,
