Tn? Cholera? Its Progress audits cure.?
Asiatic Cholera, that terrible scourge of the liu
man race in both hemispheres, we are reluctantly
compelled to believe, from the latest for
eign accounts, is progressing with frightful rapidity
eastward, and though no earthly power
can stop its resistless course, much may be done
to lessen its destructive ravages. The bare
probability of its reaching the United Sta'es
should operate as a timely incentive, on the part
?f,l,e people, to make every exertion to render
the plague as impotent as possible, if it should
visit this continent. It would be a great misfortnno
>rwleoH wore the Cholera to visit lis
now, so unprepared as we are, particularly
here, in New York. All summer, ship loads
of loreign paupers, eaten up with disease, tarn
ine, and filth, have been cast, locust like, upon
our shorps, and superadded to abominable filthy
streets, what better food in a warm climate can
be furnished for so devastating a disease. We
observe that in some of the lar?e cities in England
and Scotland, as well as in most of those
upon the Continent, the municipal authorities
are adopting every possible precaution, and instituting
every inquiry as to what sanatory
measures are best calculated to check the
scourge when it visits them and would be well
for us to follow their example. It is positively
ascertained now, that the Cholera has reached
the Greek Islands, and the Government fearing
its further progress have issued orders lor
the cleaning of the streets, establishing of hospitals
and pharmacies, and taken all other hu
tnun precautions for its prevention and cure.
i_lt '8 pretty clearly ascertained too, that a wellnufBemleated
case ot the loathsome disease terminating
fatally, broke out on board a British
brig bound to Greenock from a port in the Baltic,
nnd no wonder therefore, that the circumstance
had created considerable alarm in ocouanu,
and roused tlie authorities of Edinhurg and
Glasgow to the most energetic exertions to promote
the cleanliness of the cities. Thus we
see, from the Southern provinces of Russia, the
disease has extended to the Islands of the Mediterranean.
and there is nothing stronger than
the probability that it will continue its strides
in this direction. The duty of our City C'ouncils,
here, and elsewhere, all over the coun
try, ;n regard to the action becoming them
iu the emergency, is too obvious for us
to point out. Early and efficient preparations
may save thousands of lives, while if a protecting
Providence preserves us from the scourge,
our precautionary prudence will have cost us
but little.
We have taken much interest in the peru-al
of an elaborate-series of papers, recently laid
before the London Board of Health, which prescribe
an alleged infulliable remedy for Asiatic
Cholera. It was communicated for publication
by a distinguished officer of rank, and long resident
in India. The details are exceedingly
minute and lengthy, but we shall endeavor to
.give a condensed, and comprehensive recapitulation
of the material parts, tor the information
of our readers. His first information as regards
Cholera, we are told, was derived from reading
an Arabic work of great antiquity, and the frequent
perusal of oriental works on medicine,
with a learned native physician of the principal
Hakem (physician) of the old Nawah of Oude.
The remedies prescribed for the cure of the disease,
were carfully written down in his memoranda
hook. His narra ivc is thus continued:
"When the cholera broke out in Bengal in
1817, it did not till after some time, strike me
that it was the same disease of which I had read,
and the faith I had in oriental medicine did not
shake my confidence in the remedies prescribed
by our own medical men. But 1 was at length
undeceived: and after long experience, became
imnressed with the conviction that no remedy
Lad been discovered worthy of reliance, having
tried everything, that had been favorably spo.
ken of not always indeed without success, but
in the main with signal failure, so muck so, that
when a case was brought to me, my experience
justified no hope, but, on the contrary, complete
despair."
He was now convinced that this was the dis
ease of which he had been reading, and procured
information from the source above named
and he accordingly determined to try (he remedy
prescribed by the Arabian doctors. This
he did, and with the most signal success, even
in the most aggravated and desperate cases.
This ancient remedy for the most destructive
disease of either ancient or modern times does
not consist of rare or numerous ingredients.
They are articles in common use by all the Asiatics,
and can be procured easily in Europe and
America:?namely, assafcetida, opium, black
pepper (pulverized.) We subjoin the receipt
without any abbreviation, and commend it at
least to the investigation and consideration of
practitioners in general, and the Board ol Health
in particular:
COKE ROR THE CHOLERA.
Ingredients?Assafcetida, opium, black pep.
per pulverized. Those ingredients, more or
less pure, will be found in every town and village.
The dose for an adult is from a grain and a
kalTtAtiun m-i/l i H>?A a ikill TKic tirwviprllitflr fle
........ ^
the ingredients are pure or otherwise. If pure
11-2 grains will suffice.
The medicine should he made up into pills
of one dose each, and kept for use in a phial
well closed, as it is of great importance to check
the disease the instant of its attack.
The best mode of administering the pill is not
by swallowing it whole, lest it he rejected in
that state, but by chewing it and swallowing it
with the |moisture of the mouth, aud a very little
brandy and water to wash it down. The next
best way of administrating the medicine is by
* bruising the pill in a spoonful of brandy and
water, and then swallowing it.
Much liquid must not he given: hut to relieve
the thirst which is great, brandy and water by
spoonfuls occasionally is the best mode.
The dose should be repeated every half or
three quarters of an hour according to the urgency
of the symptoms until they have been
subdued. From three to five doses have gen
erally been sufficient for this; although as many
as eight have been given before health has been
restored in bad cases.
Should great prostration of strength prevail,
with spasm or without spasm, after the othnsymptoms
(vomiting, purging. ?kc.) have been
subdued, the medicine must not be wholly Icit
off but given half or quarter doses so as to keep
up the strength and restore the pulse.
Friction with stimulating liniment of some
kind, ought to he applied carplully to the stomach,
abdomen, and legs and arms; and when
pain in the stomach has l>een severer, and there
was reason to fear congestion of the liver, eight
or ten grains of calomel have been given with
good effect.
In cases of colapse and great prostration of
strength application of the tourniquet to the
arms and legs has been recommended, and in
order, as it were, to husband the vital power by
limiting the extent of the circulation. This
may be tried using a ligature ofTape or other
substance, if the torniquet be not available.
The favorable symptoms of recovery aro re
Tai ii mrrnwnrTtrr ?
storRlion of the pulse, returning warmth, of the
body, and sleep; and after being refreshed by
slepp, the recovery being complete, a dose of
castor oil may bp given.
There are minuteness in detail, and a plausible
prescription in all of the above, that must
bespeak for it a careful perusal, if nothing more,
and we hope it will attract general attention.
Cut out the receipt and preserve it and should
ever, unfortunately, warrant a trial of its virtues,
no harm will come of putting it to the. test
at all events. By the way, some of the. Aldermen,
a few days since recommended the appointment
of a Committee to proceed to Europe
fi>r the express purpose of ascertaining every
fact in relation to Cholera, and what remedies
has been prescribed with the most success. The
recommendation may be good enough, but we
suggest that we first exhaust what information
may be found nearer home.?N. Y. Express.

A MAN OVER THE FALLS.
Neither fiction nor flirt furnish an incident of
more thrilling interest than one which occurred
last evening at the Falls, and is detailed below
by our correspondent. There is something terribly
appalling, almost sublime, in the struggles
for life of a strong, self possessed man, when
drawn into the torrent that with the speed of a
race horsp, sweeps him onward to certain destruction.
A moment scarcely elapses between
entire safety, and a most fearful death, yet in
that moment what a wealth ol life may be compassed.
flo.v like lightning must flash through
the mind, all the pleasant recollection of childhood,
the firm resolves of vigorous manhood,
the hopes of the future, the endearments of
home and friends, repentance for past errors,
and prayers for forgiveness, in that dread presence
to which he is so awfully summoned !
"Niagara Falls, Oct. 2,1948.
u At about sundown last evening a man was
carried over the Falls. Who he was is not
known. From his management of the sail-boat
in which he came down the river, I think he
was not well acquainted with the current or the
rapids. His dress and appearance indicated
respectability, and after lie got into the rapids,
his self-possession was most extraordinary. His
boat was a very good one?decked over on the
bow, and I should think would carry three or
four tons. From what I learn of a sail-boat
having been seen below Black Rock, coming
down, I think it is from there or Buffalo. No
other than a person unacquainted with the current
above the rapids would venture so near
them.
I was 011 the head of Goat Island when I first
discovernd the boat?then near half a mile below
Navy Island, and nearly two miles above
| the Falls. There seemed to be two in the boat.
I It was directed towards the American shore?
the wind blowing from this shore, and si ill the
sail was standing. Being well acquainted with
the river, I regarded the position ol the boat as
extraordinary and hazardous, and watched it
with intense anxiety. Soon I discovered the motion
of an oar, and from the changing direction
of the boat, concluded it had but one. While
constantly approaching nearer and nearer the
rapids, I could discover it was gaining tho American
shore, and by the time it had got near the
fall in the rapids, about half a mile above Goat
Island, it was directly above the Island. There
it was turned up the river, and for some time tho
wind kept it nearly stationary. The only hope
scented to be to come directly to (Joat Island,
and whether I should run hall a mile to give
j alarm, or remain to assist, in the event the boat
| attempted to make the Island, was a question of
j painful doubt. But soon the boat was turned
I to the American shore. Then it was certain it
: mu>t go down the American rapids. I ran for
I the bridge?saw and informed a gentleman and
I lady just leaving the Island, but they seemed
unable to reply or move. I rallied a man at
the toll gate?we ran to the main bridge in
time to see the boat before it had got to the first
large fall in the rapids. Then I saw but one
man?he standing at the stern with his oar,
changing the course of the boat down the current,
and as it plunged over, the man sat down.
I was surprised to see the boat rise with the
mast and sails standing, nnd the man, again
erect, directing the boat towards shore. Ashe
came to the next and each succeeding fall he
sat down, and then would rise and apply his oar
in the intermediate current.
Still there was hope he would come near
enough to the pier to jump, but in a moment
I he was goi.'e. Another that he might jump
upon the rock near the bridge, hut the current
I rlnitiorl liim I'rom it under the bridge, breaking
the mast. Again he rose on the opposite side.
Taking his oar and pointing lus boat towards
the main shore, he cried, 4,hatl I better jump
from the boat." We could not answer, lor
either seemed certain destruction. Within a
few rods of the falls the boat struck on a rock-?
turned over and lodged. He appeared to crawl
from under it, and swam with the oar in his
hand till he went over the precipice.
Without the power to render any assistance
?for half an hour watching a strong man strug.
gling with every nerve for life, yet doomed with
almost the certainty of destiny to an in mediate
and awful death, still hoping with every effort
lor his deliverance?caused an intensity of exciterncu
I pray God never again to experience.
THE GERMAN PARLIAMENT.
Germany is the land of learned scholars and
acute metaphysicians, but in government her
most enlightened have no experimental know,
ledge, if they arc not versed in practical statesmanship.
Her most gifted sons have looked, as
the reach of their ambition, to the distinctions
and recompense of scholarship, and not to the
power and rewards that belong to political life.
The whole stream of German intellect, not engaged
in the ordinary pursuits of society, having
bepn in this manner diverted into the channels
of letters and philosphy, there has been little
familiarity with the practical exercises or truths
of politics. 'Phis creates the difference between
the cloistered student and the man of action?
between the individual nursed in the contemplation
of abstract truth, and he who is constantly
engaged in the stern contentions of the tribune,
and the animated contests of the election field.
Such is the reason, we presume, that Germany
in her recent revolution has brought out prominenlly
so few of those individuals who give
to revolution that character of energy, of intensity,
of personal ambition, and strenuous rivalry,
which ordinarily distinguished countries emerging
from limited freedom into popular sover
eigntv. A few minds have taken the lead in
her General Congress, but the impression is
that 01 leeoieness?01 inertness?01 general
mediocracy. Von (iagent has evinced a high
order of talent for civil life and action?a capn'
city for imparting the spirit of order to delibo.
rativc cooncilK--a power to control an uncalctilating
zeal for reform hy nraclical sense and a
just perception of public interests; but we have
seen no evidence in his case of commanding
genius, whether for declamation or debate?no
proof of possessing thai electrical force of
speech which sends the fiery thunderbolt of clo
quence through the minds and hearts of a sympathetic
auditory. We then miss in the Frankfort
parliament the rivalship that brings a nutm
ber of gifted men to the same elevated level,
The different States of Germany have each,
doubtless for itself, sent to that body its full contingent
of able men?men who have sounded
the depths and explored the. recesses of all human
leaning?individuals accomplished in all
that academies can teach, books reveal or meditat'on
discover; but the lore wqich is learned
on Parliamentary theories, in the struggles of
ardent minds for mastery and pre eminence?
the knowledge of men and affairs which is
evoked in the constant collision of intellect and
the strife of debate?is not like that which
transforms the popular assembly into an arena
for discussing unfruitful dogmas in government
and impracticable theories of human rights. It
is in the conflicts of thoie popular assemblies of
which revolution is the parent that we look for
the diversity, the power, and the animation that
unites reason with imagination and combines
with lofty eloquence the wisdom thai is practical.
In popular assemblies of the United Stales?
as well as those which preceded as those which
followed the revolution?their discussions were
marked by the intellectual agitation wh'ch re
volution invariably enkindles, as well as by a
familiarity with the usages of popular bodies
which experience imparts?by the struggles for
supremacy which, at such periods, animate men
of ardent faculties and nearly equal claims to
public advancement. The same peculiarities,
in a more modified form, have dUtingushed the
popular bodies of France since the days of the
Constituent assembly. If the eloquence of
Mirabeau, in its eagle flight, carried away, at
times, the passions with the convictions of that
assembly, there was still within its circle of va.
lied ability a large number who gave to its debates
not merely the fascination of theoretic,
but the living energy that kindles debate by the
animated rivalship of men of equal intellectual
pretensions. There were a few among the
Girondists that shared the distinction with Mirabeau
of that eloquence that touched the springs
of lofty emotion, and several who made a near
approach to the splendors of his declamation.?
And even now, with such a body of men as
compose the present National Assembly, scarcely
yet licked into shape, the more life-giving
and earnest character of the debates appears to
throw into shadow the dull uni fertility and the

The explanation of (his difference is (o lie
sought, then, in nothing hut the'want of political
education in the representatives of the (ierntan
Confederation, who have assembled at Frankfort?in
the absence of that Parliamentary experience
which the familiar exercise of the
functions of animated debate never fails to sup.
ply. Germany has locked up her master minds
in the fields of abstract speculation and learned
research. She has placed (otters on the national
mind in thai sphere that summons ambition
to the contests of the popular assembly.?
She has been content with the crown of glory
which is won in academic retreats?in the stu.
dies that extend the intellectual dominion of
man over the whole domain of human learning;
but who can question that if the. jealous spirit
of her rulers had permitted her sons to look for
the rewards and distinctions of society beyond
the narrow limits of the academical cloister,
hut that the genius of Germany would have
shone forth, in unclouded brilliancy, in the confiicts
of the legislative hall or popular assembly.

Destitution in London.?The police" re.
ports in the. London daily papers abound in cases
of destitution, distress, arid misery, of which we
have hut a faint idea in this country. It is indeed
a dreadlul state of things when one desires
to work, in order to live, and yet cannot obtain
work. From a number of cases in a late London
paper, we take the following, which are
about an average sample of the whole: "A
gaunt, emaciated youth was brought up, charged
with having attempted to commit suicide by
hanging himself to a lamp post, hut was cut
down in season to save his life. He staled that
he had no friends, and had endeavored to obtain
a living by hawking small articles about the
streets; but had gradually been reduced to a
atate ofutter deslituiion. He bad been without
food for twenty-four hours, and having been repulsed

Ctins put ail end lo liis miserable. existence,
lie was sent back to jail f?r fear that lie might
make a second attempt. The next ca?e was
that of a seamstress, named Sarah Ladd. She
had been entrusted with a halt dozen shirts,
which she was lo make at five farthings each,
finding her own needles and cotton. Let her
work as arduously as she would, she could not
make three and one half pence (seven cents)
per day; and in a moment of desperation she
was inol'ccd to pawn the shirts. A complaint
was made against her by her employers, and a
policeman Rent to lake her into custody. He
found her in a wreteheJ attic, entirely destitute
of foot I and furniture, and iyiugon a heap of
rags in the corner of the room. The MagisIrate
said it was a melancholy case, but as the
charge was pressed against her was obliged to
commit her." These are not insulate cases,
Iiul are ol daily incurrence in that great metropolis
of princely riches and squalid poverty.

llnL'TALITV OF TICK IU1 <11 LANDLORDS.?
The London Dispatch gives a heart-rending
picture of the work of depopulation now going
on in ilie South of Ireland and especially in the
County of Liineric and County Clare, under the
sepcrvision of landlords. It was stated in a
copy of the Liin-'ric and Clnro Examiner, received
!)) u former arrival, that one thousand
houses had been demolished and the poor inmates
thrown upon the world to survive or perish
as chance might direct in the union of bulrush,
within the space of a few weeks. A later
number of the same paper says that three hundred
have since been added to the melancholy
list-. The very week before the America sailed,
twenty three families in Kilrush?comprising
more than one bundled humnn beings many
of them helpless infants and aged persons?
were expelled from their homes which were
leveled with the earth by a "wrecking party"
under the direction of the landlord and sub
sheriff '"In the name of a (Jod of mercy!"
says the Dispatch, "will no one put a slop tc
these deeds?" The same paper has the following:?"Over
one hundred human beings
have been cast out on the world's bleak com
mon from the estate of Sir William Fitzgerald
at Liscannor. The houses are tumbled not
the unfortunate people are squuttered by the
road-side in huts. They were under tenants t<
a middleman named Sheahan, who was ejcctec
for non payment of rent-"

Popular Elections.
The elections are over in this State, and we take
occasion to make a few remarks in common, with
other?- of our editorial brethren, on the preservation
of the purity of the ballot box. Our readers
in Kershaw District need not think we are about to
lecture than on the subject, for we can honestly say
that we never saw, a popular election, conducted
with more regard to the principles of order, and
sobriety, than the recent elections in this District.
For this happy state of things we are doubtless
mainly indebted to the manner in which the can.
vass has been carried on, by the candidates themselves,
and their active friends; much of it liowe.
ver, is owing to the people themselves, and we can
only exhort them to continue in their efforts to put
down forever, all attempts, to buy their votes, by
treating, feasting or any other mode of corruption,
j To preserve the liberties, so dearly won and handed
down to us by our fathers, thf. purity of the
Ballot Box vivsg be preserver ! To candidates,
to the people, and to all concerned, we return our
thanks, for preserving unsullied the fair fame of
our District. To future candidates, be they who
they may, we have only to say; Follow in the footsteps
of your predecessors. Four years hence,
the people will in all probability, be called upon
for the first time, to exercise a right, hitherto unjustly
held from them, viz: to vote for Presidential
Klectors, and perhaps for Governor; we now advise
them in time, and urge upon every voter in Kershaw,
and our neighboring districts to record their
solemn pledge, not to vote for any tnan or set of
men, who may attempt to gain his or their election,
by corruption, in the form of treating, either to ini
tnvinatinnr linunrs. or anv thim? else, which may be
...j? ? ?- j O considered
I fie price of their votes. We do not
believe the citizens of this district, need any exhortalion
on this subject, we write for tlie benefit
of the people generally, and conceive we are only
discharging one of our most important duties in
j thus giving "line upon line, and precept upon precept"
in behalf of virtue, sobriety and the liberty
1 and happiness of the people.

Flections have recently been held in Georgia,

members of Congress, in Florida and Pennsylva(

i Governor and members of the Legislature.
fn Georgia, each of the parties have elected four
of their candidates, but the popular vote shows a
small majority in favor of the democrats.
From Florida full returns have not been received,
but there appears little doubt that the whigs
have carried the State.
In Pennsylvania, the whigs are said to have gained
two members of Congress, and elected their
candidate for Congress.
In Ohio, both parlies claim the Governor. The
whigs claim a majority of four in the Legislature.

J Union Shield.
, This is I lie name a new democratic papor pubj
lished in New York by J. VV. Bell, 178 Fulton st.
It ie a large and well printed paper, and its main
object seems to be, to defeat the Van Buren faction,
and support the nominees of the Baltimore
Convention. Wo cannot find its "Terms," but notice
that ita first number is published for general
' distribution It is filled with able original political
articles.
The Democratic Party.
What is claimed for the Democratic party in the
following extract from the New York Union Shield,
with regard to the beneficial results of UaJFederal
policy is true to the letter. Not only ro but all
that has ever been done for the South, has been
accomplished by the same party. They have removed
the iniquitous protective tariff, which had
well nigh aroused a spirit of rebellion among our
people, and have given us a system, yielding ample
revenue for the wants of the Government,
whilst it oppresses none. They have added to our
Southern territories,thus giving power arid security
to our institution, and in all cases their "pla form"
has recognized our just rights, as sovereign and
independent members of the Federal Union. The
Democratic Republican parly, is the party of the
people, and its defeat would be an evil, to the land.
We do not say this as a parlizan, we believe what
we 6ay, and there is no sensible or impartial Whig
but must confess the truth written herein :?
" Originating in the cabinet of the immortal
Washington, under the auspices of Jefferson,
co-cvally with the birth of the Federal parly,
under the paternity of Hamilton, it has been the
high honor of the. Democratic Republican party,
to have administered the government of our
vast confederation, with but brief and few intermissions,
from that period to the present
hour. It N, therefore, a broad fact which can.
not be. impugned, which admits of no dispute,
and which must stand forth forever, in the boldest
sculpture of our national annals, that whatever
of success, of security, of freedom, of hap.
piness, of posperily and promise, of national
character and glory, that have been acquired
by our country in that rapid flight of years, have
been acquired, and are now enjoyed, under the
ascendant policy of the Democratic Republican
party, steadfastly and arduously maintained, in
resistance to the directly contrary policy, ever
desperately urged by its Federal opponents. If,
therefore, it be true that directly opposite effects,
it necessarily follows that the national prosperity
and ereatness for which our country iR justly
J n _
famed (hroughout the world, and which is unexampled
in the history of mankind, is dtie to
the Democratic Republican policy which has
been pursued; could not have occurred had the
contrary policy prevailed; and must become
impaired from the moment the latter .-hall be
adopted "

that a number of philanthropic citixens of
Philadelphia, in view of the destitution of a portion
of the colored population, lately resolved to
erect a house of industry for the blacks on the
same, ulan as those now existing for the whites.
Accordingly a lot was procured, and preparations
made to put up the edifice. At the last
meeting of the commissioners, however, they
gravely passed resolutious declaring that the

wanton and reckless disregard of public sentiment,
and a contempt for the feelings of the
neighboring inhabitants," and that its tendency
is 4,to Croats a disturbance."
The plan was therefore abandoned, and these
miserable beings, thus thrown out of the pale of
humanity on Free Soil' Could a more striking
commetary be given, upon the real condition
and prospects of that class at the North, than

Felon Emigrants to the United States.
?It appears from an article in the London
Times, that an association exists in that city,
a hose object it is to further thp emigration of
convicts to the Unted States. The association
has a fund to be applied to the payment of the
passage of such persons as can shew that they
have been guilty of some felonious act. Individua
Is of fair chnrarter are excluded from all
benefit of this fund. Mr. Jackson is at the head
of this association, and is charged with offering
every facility for the transportation of criminals
to this country. The London Times objects to
the proceeding, because it is unjust to the peo.
pie of the United States, and because it has the
tendency to increase crime in England, as it
will induce many persons to commit offences,
for tho purpose of obtuining free passage to the
United States.
Mr. Van Buren, when President, caused an
investigation into the subject of felon emigration
to be made by the American Consul; the
| result of which was, that thp most positive evi
dcnce was obtained, that in some parts ot me
continent, criminals were sentenced to be transported
to the United States, and that the practice
was very general, for paupers and criminals
to be sent out here at the expense of the local
authorities. Notwithstanding these facts are
notorious, no effort deserving notice, has been
made to prevent this infamous abuse of hospitality?and
this country is made the great lazar
and depot of criminals for the world. Unless
the general and local authorities of the United
States take effective measures to prevent thede.
signs of the London association from being
practically carried out, and to prohibit pauper
and lelon emigration from all quarters, we shall
have an infusion of corruption and villiany into
the society of this country destructive of public
morals and ruinous to the general welfare.
Bi.oouy Murder in Ohio.?The citizens
Roscoe, Ohio, were thrown into the greatest
excitement on Thursday, the 29th ult., by the
commission of one of the most deliberate murders
ever recorded. A Mrs. Wades, who with
her husband, boarded at Jones' Hotel, in Roscoe
was engaged in washing, and a German, who
...?o Vwio11?r,.t tl.o Hotel, and who calls himself
John Thomas Carhart, was requested by the
landlady to briny water for M rs. Wades. He
brought some, and in a few minutes someone
chanred to go into the room where Mrs. Wades
had been occupied, and discovered blood upon
the floor. Search being immediately made, she
was found in a cistern in the same room.
Upon getting the body from the cistern, sho
was found to have received a deep wound upon
the lelt sido of the neck, which must have kill*
ed her instantly. An axo was found nonr by
with blood upon it, which appeared to have been
partially wiped ofF. Carhart was soon found
at work In the barn with some blood upon his
clothes, and upon one place on his pantaloons
were traces of blood, evidently wiped from some
instrument, and which had beon partially wash,
ed off. Blood was also found upon a fork in

the baro, as from the hands. Cash art was immediately
lodged in jail, and denies the commission
of the murder. Mr. Wades had lately
opened a drug store in Ro?coe, and Mrs.
Wudes had been there only three or tour days.
She was rery highly esteemed. No cause is
assigned for the. bloody deed*
CONSUMPTION.
This terrible disease is commonly attributed to oar
climate. But if the climate were to bhuwc the disease
would have been iufflicled on that; and not upon the
people. We think the fault is in the people, and that
' if the people would keep the skins of the?to? end

would be no more known than is now, m

phur are the principal remedies.
However, consumption prevails at mailers are, and
picks off the best and prettiest of us, in our prime. In
this stale of tilings we must do the bent ws can, piece
out and patch out tlie web, of life, with journeys, vejr.
ages, and and medicines. Of all the medicines we
know of, Dr. Wistar's "Balsam of Wild Cherry" m
what we should first recommend. We have in our office
a living proof of its efficacy, who but for k, would
have been beneath the sod long ago. The inventor of
this medicine, Dr. Wistar, was a man of science of
humanity, and undoubtedly prepared the remedy in it*
best form, and the public may rely upon Mr. Fowle J

Esther S. Clarksox, in the 80th year of her
age. The deceased was for a number of jrenra,
a member of the Church of Christ; evidencing
by her life the truth practically, that thegoopel
is the power of God unto salvation to every one
that believeth. Her departure from ibis world
will be often brought to mind because of her j
absence from the chamber of the sick; as, when
it was in her power to obey them, the afflicted
always shared the promptness of her philantfcrw- 4
pic heart. She is gone, who conversed with
the generation the most of whom are silent in
the grave, and that which is now filling the active
walks of life. But we on earth sorrow not
as those without hope, as we are sure that she,
with many of her old acquaintances, rejoice in
Heaven.
