This medicine had been used for more than years

demand for it. and its wonderful success have induced
gr-a, number Of persons initiate it in various ways
upwards of fifty different mixtures have been got
up in imitation OF it. which is convincing proof OF
its being medicine of great value. Some are selling
SarsaparIla and other syrups, imposing them on the
ignorant for the Panacea; others are mixing the genu-
inc medicine with moasses, &c, making three bottles
out of ones thus retaining of its virtues others
are using the genuine Panacea in their bottles to per.
form cures to obtain certificates to give their own
reputation, &c. Some have even resorted to perjury
to deceive the public These limitations and aduliera.

CAPT. SM1rH.-All readers of American history,
and particularly those conversant with that of the set
Element of the colony of Virginia, will be more or
less acquainted with the important part which Capt.
Smith bore in that enterprise. We do not remember,
however to have before in condensed and pop
uar form, any notice of the life and adventures be-
fore his arrival in Virginia, of this great man-for
great he in truth was-as will be found this eve
ming in another column; and for which we are
indebted to Stills history Of Virginia. The adven
lures it records are almost incredible yet there u.s.
we presume, to doubt of their authenticity

that the tolls and pers and sacrifices of this distn-

BIOGRAPHY OF CAPTAIN SMITH.

He born gentleman TO a competent fortune,
at Wioughby, in Lincolnshire, in the year 1879
From his very childhood, he had rowing and roman
tic fancy, and strangely set upon performing some
brave and adventurous achievement. Accordingly be-
ing about thirteen years of age at school, he sold his
satchel and books and all he had, raise money, in
order to go secretly beyond sea- But his father dy-
ing Just at that time, he stopped for the present,
and fell into the hands of guardians, intent ON
improving his estate than him. However, at fifteen,
in the year 1894, he was bound to a merchant at
Lynne, the most considerable trader in those parts
But because he would not send him Immediately to
sea- he found means, in the train of Mr. Peregrine
Berry, second son TO the lord Wioughby, to pass in
to France. Here, and in the Low Countries he first
learnt the rudments of war, which profession he
was led, by a strong propensity of genius. He was
afterwards carried into Scotland, with delusive hopes
from Scottish gentleman, of being effectually re-
commended to king James. But soon finding him
self bafed in his expectations, he returned to Will
loughby, his native place; where, meeting with no
company agreeable to his way of thinking, he retired
into wood, at good distance from any town, and
there built himself pavilion of boughs, and was
wholly employed in studying some treatises of the
of war; and in the exercise of his horse and lance
But his friends, being concerned at such whimsical
turn of mind, prevailed with an Italian gentleman,
rider to the earl of Lincoln to insinuate himself into
his acquaintance and as he an expert horseman,
and his talent and studies lay the same way with Mr.
Smiths, he drew him from his sylvan retirement to
spend some time with him at Tattersal.
But Smiths restless genius soon hurried him again
into Flanders where lamentng to see such euson of
Christian blood he resolved &C. try his fortune against
the Turks In order to this he passed through
France, with variety of adventure and miststane in

it. The individual who had furnished him
with the prussic acid, confessed himself at
a loss to conceive how such a dose could
be taken without destroying life. All !
Monsieur. give nue. one half tea-spoonful
more, and will take it." said the tire-king.
Indeed you shall not" was the reply of
half the room; you have taken enough
for one day at least, and more may be dan
gerous."
The strength of the contents of the two
phials was then examined by some medical
gentlemen who were present, and they all
agreed that the 6re-king's poison was the
stronger. A proposal was made TO try the
strenc tn of it on some animal, and cat
was selected for the experiment. One OF
the medical gentlemen poured four drops
of it down the animals throat, compressing
its mouth tightly for few seconds after he
had withdrawn the spoon. The poor cat
soon became convulsed, and Tor the space
Of half minute uttered the most piercing
cries. It's commissions gradually became
fainter, and, in less than a minute and a
half from its first taking the prussic acid
life was extinct. The fre-king then took
81 grains of phosphorus, and would have
taken half an ounce of oxalic acid, if the
company had not prevented him.

From a Glasgolp paper.

TEMPERANCE SOCIETIES. Last week a
lecture was delivered in DR.. Dicks lecture
room, Glasgow, by John Dunlop, Esq, one of
the justices of the peace for Renfrewshire,
with view to the formation of Temper
ance Society. He stated that he had COM
municated on the subject with many mem
bers of the learned professions and lay gen.
tlemen, who all agreed in the utility of the
intended proceeding. At Stirling, com
mittee, consisting Of FIVE clergymen, med
ical man, and number Of lay gentlemen,
had been appointed for gaining information.
Dr.. Edgar, Professor of Divinity in the Bel
fast College, had lately published a treatise
on irtemperance, and two Temperance So
cieties had been established in Ireland.
He stated that one half of the quakers in
London attained to the age of forty-seven
years. OF the whole community, it was
calculated that only one in forty arrived at
eighty, while among the quakers one in ten
reach that age. He observed that nothing
but cothplete abstinence from inebriating
liquor would produce the desired effect. and
he feared this could not be accomplished, as
long as the upper classes continued the pro-
fuse use of wines, &c.
In conclusion, he noticed the absurdity of
supposlng that drunkard can he reclaimed
by degrees, and maintained that it could
only be effected hy a sudden effort; and
proposed that all persons DESTROYS of enter
ing Temperance Society should meet a.
gain for ito formation. The lecture was
received with great attention by an audI-
ence of about one hundred and fifty persons,
amongst whom were several females.
The Glasgow police have lately adopted
the plan of shaving the heads of topers,
when found in a senseless state. Nothing
could exceed the astonshment and horror
of a man who was operated upon on Satur-
day night, when he put his hand on his head
in the morning and found it was shorn.

STEAM CARRIAGES. BY the newly invented
Steam Carriages, it is expected that goods will
be transported from Manchester to Liverpool
for less thnn fire shillings ton, and passengers
for about tacO shillings each The speed and
choapness of this new mode of conveyance will
probably produce wonderful changes. Man.
chester, though ihrty-ono miles off, will be
nearer to Liverpool, in social and commercial
point OF view, than the extremities Of London
now are. II this be not nnnhilatine time and
space, IL is abrdging both in a wonderful degree
il is calculated to reduce the expense Of trav.
cling three-fourths, and the time two.thirds !;
and tho convenience Of the Steam Carriage, is
said to be as far superior TO Stage Coaches as
they are to common arts.--Engiish paper

EccENTRIc CHARACTER. On Tuesday
last died at Rawcliff, Yorkshire, at the
great age of 81 years, James Herst, long
known for his extraordinary appearance
and ascetic habits. He vas by trade a
tanner, but soon gave up business. He
then purchased his coffin, in which he ever
after kept his victuals, and exhibited it for
a small remuneration. His rooms were
hung round with agricultural implements,
rusty iron and old nails. The inmates con-
sisted of himself, a man and woman
servant, tame fo~. an otter. and a bull.
He constantly visited Doheoster races in a
carriage of his own workmanship, Drawn
by asses or dogs. He was on the ground
on the last race week, distributing apples
to bis acquaintance. In his shooting excuI-
sions he rode bull, and was attended by
dogs and pigs, the latter of which he train
ed to carry the game. He had three bulls,
which he kept for the sole purpose Of bait
ing at country fairs, when his man collect
cd money from the populace. He had aotes
engraved in limitations of the Bank of Eng
land, with a representation of himself
mounted on bull, and attended by dogs
and pigs. He continual all his fcllies,
probably the offspring of vanity, to his LIES
end, and will long be remembered by thou
sands.-EngliSh paper.
