To the Editors Of the Saturday Evening Post.
Or Gibson Professor of Surgery in the University of
Pennsylvania in his Lecture of Monday last, spoke in
high terms of Swam's Panacca. He remarked that he
had found it decidy beneficial in chronic cases ofSyp
lis, &C. and that he had known patients who had la
bored under this disease for length of time, and tried
almost every remedy commonly employed for its cure,
with very little if any effect but who, after using the
Panacea, recovered quickly and entirely He related
several instances of rapid and extraordinary restoration
to robust health from state of the most miserable
weakness and infection, wherein repeated saivaons
had produced only the mischief to the of
mercury. He spoke likewise of Mr. Swain, personal
". acknowledging the generosity which he had shown
in the distribution of his medicine to the poor, and in
the support even ofwhole families until was eff
fected. The Professor mentioned that he had been
censured by Surgeons and Physicians for recommend
inc the Panacea of Swaim but that he thoughtt duty
which he owed to suffering humanity not to withhold
the expression of his opinion and experience Gifts eff
cacious character. A STUDENT.
n. B. We think it duty to say, that we are sur
nrised to find that number spurious mixtures have
been cot up lately imitation of this most valuable re-
edy and that several strangers have been injured by
the mistake We would advise all persons who are in
want of such aremedy,to apply where the genuine is
known to be had. MEDICUS.

MOTHER OF WASHINGTON.

From "Recolections Of Washington" by George
w. P. Gusts, Esq. author of the "Conversa-
tons of Lafayette" SC.
Of the remote ancestors of the Chief,
our recollections will of necessity be ve-
ry limited. The grandfather came from
Cheshire, in England, it is believed, a.
bout the time of the early settlers in the
Northern neck of Virginia, but the place of
his residence is unknown, though it has been
matter of considerable research, to his de-
scendants.
Augustin Washington, the father, we find,
settled on Pope's creek, branch of the Po-
tomac, in the county of Westmoreland, and
there the Great Chief was born, the 1ith of
February. 1882. This interesting spot is
now marked by a stone, placed there
by the hand Of flial affection and gratitude,
in 1915.
Upon the father becoming engaged in the
agency of the Principle iron works, and the
conflagration of his seat in Westmoreland,
he removed with his family, TO a situation
near the village of Fredericksburg where he
died about middle age, universally esteemed
as man of worth and honor, and as useful
member of society. He is described as hav-
ing been of fair complexion, tall stature, and
manly proportions.
At the time of his fathers death, George
Washington was 10 years of age, and had
been heard to say, that he knew little of
his father, other than remembrance of his
person, and of bis parental fondness. Ofthe
mother, that distinguished woman, to
whose peculiar cast of character, and more
than ancient discipline, in the education of
her illustrious son, himself ascribed the ori.
gin of his fortunes and his fame, we have
much to say.
She was descended from the very respect
able family of Ball, who settled as English
colonists on the banks ofthe Potomac. Bred
in those domestic and independent habits
which graced the Virginia matrons. in the
old days OF Virginia, this lady by the death
of her husband became involved in the cares
of young family, at a period when these
cares seem more especially to claim the aid
and control of the stronger sex; and it was
left for this remarkable woman, by meth
cd the most rare, by an education and disci-
plinc the most peculiar and imposing, to
form in the youthtime of her son, those great
and essential qualities, which led him on to
the glores of his after life. 1t the school
savourcd more of the Spartan than the Per-
sian character, it was the filter school TO
The Wilmingtonian, and Delaware advertiser., 1826-12-14

The first surprise was scarcely over, with
a what's to be done, who shall tell this tale,
when the party were summoned to the NOR
ning's meal. A conversation the most NAL
apropos to the youthful culprits, became in
troduced by the natron's asking, Pray young
gentlemen, have you seen my blooded colts
in your rambles, hope they are we'll taken
care Of; my favouritc, l am told, is as large
as his sire. Considerable embarrassment
being observable, the lady repeated her
question, when George Washington replied,
Your favorite, the sorrel, is dead, madam
Dead, exclaimed the lady, why how has this
happened? Nothing dismayed the Chief
continued, That sorrel has long been con-
sidcrcd ungovernable, and beyond the power
of man to back or ride him; this morning,
aided by my friends. we forced bit into his
mouth, l backed him, rode him, and in a
desperate struggle for the mastery, he fell
under me and died upon the spot
The hectic of moment, was observed to
flush on the matron's cheek, but, like sum
mer cloud, it soon passed away, and all was
serene and tranquil when she remarked, 1t
is WE'LL but while regret the loss of my ia
yorite, Irejoice in my son, 7pho Always tells
the truth.
At the time of this occurrence, the figure
Of the Chief is described BY his cotempora-
ries, as being that of the Athlete OF the
Games. Although of manners, somewhat
grave and reserved, he indulged in the gale
ties common to the youth of that period; par
ticnlarly cxceled in all the manly exercises,
sought the companionship of the intelligent
and deserving; and was beloved and admired
by all who knew him."
