This Basamic Syrup is an elegant and COM

cious Us this preparation, it being composed
principally of an herb, with which almost every
man, woman and child is familiar, enables its
usefulness 10 be Immediately known.
Hundreds already have escaped premature

commencement of 4 cold or cough, which, If

months since, a physician me, the proprietor,

an interesting young lady, from premature
grave.
This Bassam excites exrectoration, composes
the nerves, and gives energy and strength to
The tender lungs.
Among the many testimonials of its remark

From 4 Philadelphia Paper.
A RAD BARGAIN.

About dusk on Friday evening last, fell
low OF respectable dress and appearance,
nccested a farmer in Second street near
Market, BY asking il he had potatoes to
sell. The farmer answered that he had
several bushels in his wagon yet unsold.-
Ills interrogation remarked that he wished
to purchase and would be pleased to exam
ine the quality of the article. The farmer
replied that he would optn bag and show
the potatoes. He entered his wagon for
this purpose, followed by his new customer.
While STOPPING down to unite bag, be
who had followed him, made a sudden
pounce on the uRsuspecting farmer, and
succeeded in extracting his pocket-book
from his over coat side pocket, with which
he made off. Another farmer in an adjoin-
ing wagon, saw the movement and made
after him. After spirited chase down
Serond-stieet, he succeeded, at the corner
OF Chestnut, in getting close enough to the
thief, TO seize hold of his dress. The thief,
feeling the grip, loosened his cloak, and
being now disentangled, and able to move
with greater expedition, made good his es.
cape. In a moment, the farmer who had
been robbed was on the spot. He said il
was scarcely necessary TO pursue the fel-
low further. as the cleak was worth more
than the pocket book, which did not con-
tain far,hing! He took possession of the
cloak-one of excellent qualiiy-and will
retain il until called for by the rghtful own.
er. AS he walked of with bis treasure, he
coolly remarked, that he was "ready to
drive such trade as that any day."

ANNALS OF CHINA. In The reign of
Chin-sung, about 800 years ago, two of the

This put the Emperor in passion, and he

the Emperor. "But," replied his adviser,

suggestion, the Emperor desisted from his
purpose, and simply removed his ministers
