SUMMER Fastitows.—lt has often been iemarkel
that notwithstanding the great mutability of fashion, that of
curling the Hair has, and is still likely to continue ; it is for this
reason that ATKINSON'S CODLING FLUID; OrNEDETATIVE HAIL
OIL, is so generally esteemed ; it requires only to be used once,
to supersede the use of every other Invention of the kind. It
wonderfully improves the growth of the I lair, and in dressing
makes it beautifully soft and glossy, and by its great nutritive
qualities, gives it such strength and elasticity, that it retains its
Curl during exercise or iu damp weather; and where the Hair
has fallen off from illness, perspiration, or any cause occasioning
premature decay, it infallibly restores the growth. Sold by
most Perfumers and Hair-dressers, and by the Proprietor, 44,
Gerrard-street, Soho-square.

borious practice, is enabled to remove rho most obstinate Vene-
real Complaints, however long and deeply fixed in the
Eruptions, Pains in the Limbs, obstinate Gleets, Dimness of
Sight, Nodes on the shin-bones, Ulceration, and Sore Throats,
are among the symptoms ari4ing out of improper treatment, and
which without timely assistance prove fatal. Thu. Doctor is
consulted daily by patients of both sexes, at 3S, Dean-street,
Suho, by persons from every part of the country, and by Letter
(if post paid) enclosing a fee.

AN AMERICAN STIFERRCRIPTION.—A Gentleman,
who was lately travelling in one of the southern States,
having occasion' to call at a rost-office, copied the
superscription of a letter that was lying in the office. It
is as follows Mr. Matthew F. Rainey, Alabama—
Greene county. lam not sure it is Greene county
it is a French settlement, and not far from Tuscaluso
and Matthew Gage, I believe; and not far from Dr.
Wyllis Pope, I expect !" New York Paper, July 1.
EXECUTION IN AMERICA,—At the last Superior
Court fur the Isle of Wight County, United States,
came on the trial of Willis and Dempsey Carr, for the
murder of John AMA, last Autumn, while he and
his wife were travelling through that county firm
Tennessee. Willis was sentenced to 18 years ini pi ison-
ment in the Penitentiary, and Dempsey was con-
demned to be hung, on Friday, the 20th day ofJune.
His execution accordingly took place on that day.—
The criminal was taken from the jail to the gallows
in a cart, amidst an immense concourse of spectators,
and attended by a Minister of the Gospel, who deli-
vered a sermon at the fatal tree, to which the miserable
man paid great attention. He took an affectionate
leave of his friends, and in the next moment the fatal
drop fell, and he was left suspended in the air ; but
the rope, not being strong enough to bear his weight,
broke about six inches from his neck, and he fell to
the ground. The noose was instantly disengaged
from his neck, and another provided. As soon as he
recovered himself; he began to pray aloud to Goo to
have mercy on his soul. He was then again tied up,
and the world closed on him for ever.
EFFECTUALLY TO DFATROY BED BUGS.—Take two
ounces of quicksilver and the whites of two eggs, and
so on in this ratio for a larger or smaller quantity.
Beat the quicksilver and the whites together until
they unite and become a froth. With a feather then
apply the compound thus formed to the crevices and
holes in your bedsteads. This done once or twice in
a year, will prove effectual.
