FATENT SELF-ADJUSTING TRUSSES.— Ur

invaluable Instruments, and are acknowledged by the afflicted to
possess security, ease, and convenience, not to be met with in any
other invention for the purpose ; will answer for right or left aide,
also admit of increase or decrease in size and force, requiring no
buckles, understrap. or any galling bandage. In consequence of an
inferior article now being offered for sale, Medical Gentlemen and
the Public are particularly requested to observe. that "SALMON,
ODY, and Co , 292, Strand,Loodon," is marked upon the leather
cue, without which they are of the spurious kinds.
Persons in the country are requested to send the circumference of
the body an inch below the hips.

" Dorms et placens uxor."—Hot.
Thy house, and (in the cup of life,
That honey-drop) thy pleasing wife.
lIAPPINESS, " the gay to-morrow of the mind," is
insured by marriage; " the strictest tic of perpetual friend-
ship" is a gift from fleaven, cementing pleasure with reason, by
winch, says Johnson, " we approach in some degree of association
with celestial intelligence."
. . . . .

Previous, howevt7r, to entering into this hallowed obligation, it
becomes an unperatite duty, not only to regulate the passions, but
to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the free.
dom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the
neglect of such attention are attributable many of those hapless
instances, which, while they excite the commiseration of the be-
holder, should also impress him with the fear of self-reproach.
Enxtirious habits will eft:tinnier the body—a residence in the
tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the
premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the
natural dignity into a state of inanition, from which the agonised
sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief. To all Such, then,
we address ourselves, offering hope, energy, muscular strength,
felicity; nor willour advancesappear questionable, sanction ed as they
are by the multiplied proofs of twenty years' successful ex-perience.
The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed by the
suspension of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wreath
—for the female habit is often constitutionally weak—yet it can be
strengthened. and deficient energy improved into functional power.
Earnestly solicitous to expel the unfeeling empiric from the
position se presumptuously taken up, we deYiate from general
principles with less hesitation ; and confident in oar own honour-
able integrity as 3lembers of the College of Surgeons, we refer
the suffering community of either sex (especially those entering
into matrimonial life) at once to our house, where daily attend-
ance is given for personal consultation; and letters from the
country arc immediately answered; these must contain a remit-
tance for advice and medicine, which can be forwarded to any
part of the world, however distant.

MURDER AT HILLSBOROUGH, COUNTY .DOWN.

It is with painful emotions w that, on the night of the Lth
instant, Miss Ann Stott. of Hillsborough, a mild, amiable, and
benevolent lady, was. with her servant maid, inhumanly murdered
by some unknown assassins, in her own dwelling. It appears that
the doors of her house had not been opened on Tuesday, a circum.
stance which induced her neighbours to suppose that she had gone
to a meeting at Lurgan, of the Society of Friends, of which she was
a member. However, on Wednesday (the market (lay) her doors
and gates still remained closed, and her rows, which were in the
back-yard, began to low so incessantly. probably through want of
food, &c. that the inhabitants of the adjacent house became alarm-
ed, and a boy was sent over the wall to examine the premises. By
him a bloody cap was found lying in the yard, outside of the
kitchen door. Application was then promptly made to Captain
Sloop, of Eglantine, an active 3lagistrate, who happened to be in
Ilillabornugh at the time. This gentleman came instantly to the
place, with some of the police, and caused one of the windows to be
forced up with a crow-bar, by which means a constable gained ad-
mission.

In the kitchen a shocking spectacle presented itself to view—the
murdered bodies of Miss Stott and her servant. The maid
lay near the kitchen door, and some of her blood was sprinkled on
the atreshold. Her head and arms were so bruised and disfigured,
that when an inquest was held on the bodies, it was almost impos-
sible even to con)ectnre with what kind of instrument the murderers
had perpetrated the crime. Miss Stott's skull was beaten in at the
back of the head, apparently by some square, obtuse, and ponder.
cue implement of destruction. The assassins having thus succeeded
in the work of death, broke open a money till in the shop, and then
endeavoured to force open some drawers in a room up stairs, but it
appears they did not succeed. Every other part of the house was
left by them in good order, clean, neat, and perfectly undisturbed.
They withdrew, we apprehend, by the rear of the house unper-
ceived.

esterdav an inquest was held on the bodies of this lamented
lady and her maid. The verdict of the inquest was, we believe, in
correspondence with the facts—`' Murder by some person or per-
sons unknown."—Belfirst Weirs Letter.

W. Graham, the victim of Kean and his accomplices,
has arrived in Calton. He has considerably improved in
health and appearance during his residence in Balfron.
He is still lame of one leg, hut can walk with the aid of a
stick. lie says he would, if he were able, return to work
with greater ghv than ever, and take his chance of another
shot. He considers the new workers to have been possessed
of very little stuff, or they would long ere this have beat
the foolish persons who molested them. We are happy to
learn that a subscription is going forward amehig the pro-
prietors of cotton works to purchase for him a cottage and
piece of ground.—Glusgow Paper.
