STRANOE STOBT A?TDCktoressiox ob A MrnDERBB.~Tb? Trenton (N. J.) Sen? tinel has tho following: It is now forty years ago or moro that the dead body of a stranger was found in the woods, near Stonebrook bridge, about one milo to the East of Penning? ton, a village of this County. The body was found in a' sitting posture, against a beech tree. The faoe was distorted, the eyes protruding as though the dead man had died in agony. Bis hat lay a few feet from him. His dress denoted one in Comfortable circumstances. He was a stranger, and no one ever remembered to have seen him. There was no money upon the corpse. The body, without Bpecial examination, WBB buried-wo for? get where, i There were no wounds upon it, and no evidence of violence. And now comes the strange elucidation of the case.' ' A few days since, an accident placed in ?ur hands a copy of the Man? chester (England) Guardian. In that number we. foja nd tho dy ia g cpu f essio n of a mah named Daniel Hul&eman, ac? knowledging to a murder perpetrated forty years ago in the State of New Jer y, United States of A mor icu. Tho murderer was acquainted with his victim in the old country, and came out about one year before him. Hulsemau was a tanner, "and worked in New York. "When EberbaTt came over he sought out his old acquaintance. Ho had about ?200 in money. On pretence of examining the country and purchasing land, Hulsc man started with Eberhart on a tour through New Jersey. Ho had with him a flask of poisoned brandy, as he had resolved to murder, his friend for his money. They first stopped at Prince? ton, and tb en concluded io walk across the intervening nine miles to Penning? ton, the weather being pleasant, and public travel being greatly circumscribed. When within a mile of tho latter placo, they stopped over into tho woods, under a tree, to partake of somo victuals they bau procured bofore starting. Hulsomau thou passed his flask to his companion, who drank liberally, and died within an hour thereafter in fearful agony, : Hulse? mau looking on the while. Ho. then robbed him of his money and set him "P against tho tree? os. before described. There are still pld men about Princeton w1 J will remember this event. It seems almost marvelous that after a'lapse of forty years, that this affair should have come to light by a death-bod confession, 3,000 miles from the place of commission. And yet it evcu sp. . . The other .evening, iu ojr "private crib," there was a learned - dissertation aobjeot, "lied-bu gs,: ami their remarka? ble tenaoity .bf life." One assorted of his own. knowledge that they could be boiled and como to life. Some had soaked, them.-'for hours in turpentine, without any):fatal consequences. Old Hanks, Who had been listening ns an outsider, hete gave in his experience in corroboration of the facts. Says he: "Some years ago, I took a bed-bug to an iron foundry, and dropping it into a ladle where the melted iron was, had it ran into a skillet. Well, my old woman used that skillet pretty constant for thc last six years, and here tho other day she broke it ell to smash; and what do you think, gentlemen'-that ero insect just walked ont of his hole, where he'd been layin' like a frog in a rock, and made tracks for his old roost np stairs. Put," added he, by way of parenthesis, "by George, gentlemen, he looked mighty pale!" \ The New York E]$r?ss congratulates the South upon these evidences of recu? peration, enterprise and coming power, thus: "When the Sonth has completed all its needed railroads to the sea-ports, and has developed even a moiet}' of its mine? ral wealth, it will prove altogether the wealthiest part of the agricultural Union. In cotton lands it is without a rival in tho world, and in sugar and rice, in the production of cattle and corn, it should occupy the foremost pince on the conti? nent. We repeat, then, that for tho South there aro good times ahead, and we aro glad to see so many timely stops taken to exhibit her wealth and encou? rage its increase. What has been done is in despito of Fedoral interference, po? litical and military; and without that in? terference, her wealth would be vastly greater, and her prosperity every woy i inproved." ?XOXI8H COTTON TRADE.-Tho New York Shipping and Commercial List adds: "The truth is, the French and German spinners aro depriving England of a con? siderable portion of tho trade which she formerly enjoyed in Continental Europe, while our own spinners are every year lessening tho American dependence upon English cotton goods. American manu? facturers have learned to mako cotton goods equal in quality to those mado in England, and this advantage our spin? ners nre destined to maintain and in? crease. English, spinners evidently re? cognize this fact, and hence the doubts and fenrs to which the English journals aro beginning to give expression. The cotton lords attribute the present diffi? culties to tbs scarcity and high price of cotton, but the Times' view is no doubt thc moro correct one." A fire ocourred in San Francisco, yes? terday, which destroyed several factories, valued at $200,000. THE MrD-MOHT SUN.-The following ist a description of the scene witnessed by Mr. Campbell and bis party in the North of Norway, as they stood ou a cliff 1,000 foot above tho sea. Tho passage is un? surpassed in graphio beauty: The ocean stretched far away in silent vastness, at our feet; tho sound of its waves scarcely roached our airy look-out; away in tho North tho hugo old sun swung low along the horizon like tho slow beat of the pendulum in the tall clock of our grand-fatbor's parlor corner. Wo nil stood silent looking nt our watches. When both hands came together at 12 o'clock, mid-night, tho full round orb hung triumphantly above the wave-a bridge of gold mouing due North span? ned the water between ns and him. There ho shone in silent majesty which knew no setting. Wo involuntarily took off our hats; no words was said. Com? bine, if you can, the most brilliant sun? set and sun-rising you ever saw, and its beauties will be palo before tho gorgeous coloring which now lit up ocean, heaven and mountain. In half nn hour the sun had swung up perceptibly on its beat, the colors changed to those of morning, a frosh breeze rippled over the flood, ono songster after another piped up in the grove behind us-wo had slid into an? other day. -1-?

Reese, a leading druggist in Monti' collo,, 111., in a letter of June G, 18C3, writes to this ?ffect: "Having sold Ho?tettcr's Bitters for tho past four years, I cannot but ^peak of tho article as being tho best tonic and appe? tizer extant. During tho aguo season of 1865-0, I could not keep a sufficient stook on baud to supply my customers. In fact, your Bitters was as utopie as quinine. I learn that physi? cians proscribe it all over tho Western coun? try, indeed, a great many families think they are not safe without your invaluable touio." J. K. Witherspoon, Esq., a magistrate of Korshaw Oountv, 8. O., states, under dato April 13.1868, that ho has used tho Bitters constantly in his own family for tho previous two years. Ho first tried the preparation whon suffering from exhaustion produced by a se? vere attack of fever. Before the first bottle was finished ho experienced a remarkable change for tho better. He had tried brandy at the ontsot, but found that did him more harm than good. In one month from the time he commonced using the Bitters his health, strength and appetito wcro restored. He had recommended the article to others in like cir? cumstances, and never known it to fail, and had found it a perfect specific for chills and fever. Mr. Ham ucl Young, of Clarion, Pa., under dato April 6, 18GS, cortifica that ho WBB com? pletely cured of "ono of the most distressing attacks of dyspepsia that over afflicted any mortal," by three bottle? of tho Bitters, after "various other remedies 'had proved power? less." ltestorod to perfect health, ho thanks "that excellent preparation for tho result." Dr. G. M. Spencer, of Brush Creek, Perry Couuty, Ala., writing thence February 8, 1808, saya: "I have used your Stomach Bitters for several years in my practice, and find'them superior*to most of the Bitters nowprescribed by the profession generally." _ Oct 1 tf?

PERHAPS no one medicino is so univer? sally required by every | body aa a cathartic, nor was ever any bo foro so universally adopted into use, in every country aad among all classes, aa this mild but efficient 'purgative PILL. The obvious rcitson is, that it is a more reliable and far moro effectual remedy than any othor. Those who havo triod it, know that it cured them; thoso who havo not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends, and all know that what it dooe onco it doea alway*-that it never faila through any fault or neglect of its composi? tion. We havo thousands upon thousands of | cei tinentos of their remarkable cures of the following complaints, but auch cures are known in every neighborhood, and wo need not publish them. Ad ipted to all agea and comblions in all elimatos; containing neither calomel or any deleterious drug, they may bo taken with safety by anybody. Their sugar coating preserves them ever fresh and makes them pleasant to take, while being pnroly vegetable no harm can arise from their uao in anv quantity. They operate by their powerful influence on the internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into healthy action-remove tho obatruetiona of the stomach, bowels, liver and other organa of the body, restoring their irre- i gular action to health, and by correcting, wherever they exiat,such derangements as are the lirait origin of disease. . Minuto directions aro given in tho wrapper on tho box, for tho following complaints, which these PlhLS rapidly curr : For Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Listlessness, Languor una Loss of Appetite, they should bo taken moderately to stimulate tho stomach and restore its healthy tone and action. For Liter Complaint and its various symp? toms, Bilious Headache, Sick Headache, jaun? dice or Green Sickness, Bilious (Jolie and Bi? lious Fevers, they should be ludicrously taken for each caao, to'correct the diseaaed action or remove tho obstructions which cauao it. For Dysenterry or Diarrhoea, but ono mild doso ia generally required. For Rheumatism, Gout, Gravel, Palpitation of the neart. Pain in Vie Side, Buck and Loins, they should bo continuously taken, as re? quired, to chango tho diseased action of the system. With such chango thoso complaints disappear. For ltropsy and Dropsical Swellings, they should be taken in large and frequent doae'a to produco tho cfluct of a diastic purgo. For Suppression a largo doso should bo taken, as lt produces the desired effect by sympathy. As a Dinner Pill, take ono or two Pit's to promote digestion and relieve thc stomach. An occasional doso stimulates the stomach and bowels into healthy action, rostores tho appetite, and invigorates tho system. Hence it is often advantageous where' no serious de? rangement exists. One who feels tolerably well, Often Ands that a dose of thoso Pills makes him feel decidedly better, from their cleansing and r?nova ting effect un the digestive apparatus. Dr. J. C.
