NEW LY INVENT ED,
SELF-ADJUS7TNG,
SPIRAL SPRING
Gt.1t88+

VHISTru possesses the priin
n ciple, so long sought for in vain, by mel
of science, and falsely claimed to have beel
discovered by Salmon Oddly & Company, Il
London, and by Amos G. Hull, of New York,
viz.-the sELF-ADJUsTING PRINCIPLE.
The Trusses Of these Pretenders embrace thl
Ball and Socket, and hinge joint principles
which admit Of a loose wabbling motion, back
ward and forward, of the rupture pad; bu
possess no restoring or self-adjusting principle
by which an equal pressure on all parts of the
pad is constantly maintained.
The Truss now offered to the public, by the
insertion of SPIRAL SPRING in the Pad
possesses the REAL SELF-ADJUSTGNG
POWER. This spring allows to the Pad moi
only lateral motion in every possible direc-
ton, but also rotatory motion upon its cen
tire, thus adapting itself to all the various mo-
tons of the body, and causing an equal pres
sure upon all parts of the Pad, in every posi-
BILE position of the patient.
The fOloCing Certificates will show the satpe.
riOrity of this TRUSS to all Others nOw IN
use.
At Meeting Of The CHEN.ANGO COUN
TY MEDICAL SOCIETY, holden at tn,
Tillage of Norwich, Jday 1lth, 1924,
ResoIued, That in the opinion of this Socie
ty, the SPIRAL SPRING TRUSS, presented
by Mr.. Bella FAIR, is superior to any one ii
use and we recommend it as such to the
faculty and public. H. STORRS, Sec'y.
ALBANY, Oct. 18th, 1928.
Having examined Mr.. FARR'S newly in
vented SPIRAL SPRING TRUSS, by which
the Pad is regulated and adapted 10 the parts
with perfect ease and safety, in the different
positions of the body, do believe it an i'm
provement surprising any thing Of the kind
have heretofore examined.

UORRID AFFAIR.

HAvERHiLL, IN. Fl Jan. sS.-An un.
happy Circumstance took place in STAINS
teau, on Friday last. Messrs. Issac Jesse
AMI Aaron Gage, belonging to Lime aud
Oxford, in this stale, in company with two
gentlemen from Derby, in Vermont, en-
tered the house OF Zenas S,etson, for the
purpose OF taking said Stetson, and bring
,ng him into this state, be having left his
family in Lime, So destitute that the town
weIe obliged to assist them. Immediately
on their entering the house, SteisOn dis
charged musket at them, the ball OF
which entered the breast Of Mr.. Isaac
Gage, and came out at his back. A pistol
was then discharged by Stetson, the ball
OF which entered the neck of Mr.. Jesse
Gage. who was cut little below the
shoulder blade third ball struck one
OF the inhab itants on the cape Of bis coat,
and glanced, the ball taking off piece of
bis ear. The wounded men were imme-
diately removed TO Mr.. Burroughs tavern
in Derby, where every possible assistance
was rendered. Stetson was soon arrested
by the civil authority, handcufed, and is
now 10 custody. One gun, three pistols,
aud dirk, were taken from him. Mr..
Isaac Gage was MORALLY wounded-the
others will probably recover.

convoy for their trade, which was granted.
The schr. Dorothes, capt. David Wage

Cape Roxo, by piratical vessel bearing
The French tricolored flag, + all on board

and locked them all up in the bold except

side OF the vessel, to cause her to sink; the
people perceived the wafer, coming in the
hold, broke into the cabin, and made their
escape on deck, hoping to save their lives,
by some way or other, and get on shore;
but how great was their aslonishment, on
seeing the boat return again without capt.

FROM BRAZIL,

Extract of letter--St. Salvador, Dec. To-.
Now is the time for our government to
negotiate treaty Of commerce with the
Emperor; it is shameful that the British
should have such a decided advantage O.
yer the American commerce, they pay a
duty of nine per cent. less than the Ame>
rieans.
Extract of another ietter-Dec. l6.
Con the 18th, by sumacha from Rio
we received the disagreeabIe information
that the Emperor had dissolved the Cor
ties by force, and had arrested the depu-
ties from this place and other ports, and
had embarked them for Europe. 10 con-
sequence, the Brazilian troops are all I'M
der arms, and ths European Portuguese
are obliged 10 seek safety on board TO-
reign vessels, or in American houses
The city council is now sitting; much agi-
tation is manifested, and but little pru-
dencs or decision. Some are for declar-
ing war against the Emperor; others for
a republic; and some for an absolute 60
vernment. We think that whatever side
Cochrane takes will be successful. We
consider foreign property perfectly safe,
and especially American. The American
government might now make CONNER
cial treaty with this, on their own terms
and secure many advantages"
The treaty between England and Bra
iii or Portugal, referred TO in the above,
by which English commerce has such de-
cided advantages, expires by limitation
with this year, 1924. Salem reg.
