MoRnIsoN's Pills. Another life has
been sacrificed in England to the incom-
parable virtues Of the vegetable hygean
humbugs, manufactured by the British
College Of Health, alias Mr. Somering
Morrison. The victim was Mrs Sa.
rah Porter, aged 80, years, and resided
in Munster street, Regents Park. The
surgeon who made the post moriem exam
inaiicn gave it as his decided opinion,
that her death was the result Of infama-
iion Of the intestines, brought on by TAX
ing MorrIson's pills and such was. the
verdict Of The corone's jury. 1t was in
evidence that the unfortunate woman,
yielding credulous belief to the pompous
and wholesale assertions Of the proprietor
had taken three boxes Of the pills in doses
from IL to 16 at a time. In answer to
questions put bv jurors, the surgeon and
another medica! gentlemen, who was IN
attendance, stated that il was not to be
inferred that Morison's pills contained any
materials ofa poisonous nature-the great
moral guilt lay in representing the med
icme as a cura for all Diseases sort OF
universal panica powerful purging med
icine was certain death to those whose
bowels were irrita,ed and infamed. IN.

Wheat.-Speculators are now busy buy
ing up all the surplus wheat IN this, and the
still more western country, for which they
pay prices varying from one dollar, to one
dollar and fifty cents, per bushel, just as
they happen to find farmer situated and
disposed to sell. If they find him necessi-
tated to sell, or, ignorant of the situation of
the market they take advantage and buy
at the lowest rate. If pretty independent,
and disposed to hold on, by means of which
he may perchance come in collision with
them, they pay the highest price. Their
object is to get the whole into their hands,
create monopoly, and sell it out again to
large advance. Farmers should be on
their guard against selling to such persons.
Where they can do it to as good advantage
TO themselves, it is their duty, and for the
interest of the country TO dispose of their
surplus produce first, for home consump-
ton, until this is supplied, after which, if a.
ny is left, they can export it themselves, or
dispose of it TO such Of our dealers as they
may have confidence in, and who will make
an honest return into the country of the a.
vails.-The rage of speculation by Mono
poly, private as well as chartered, is
already carried to fearful extent, and if
persevcred in will soon ruin many honest
branches of business. Every man who
regards the welfare of the body polite
should sethis face at once and firmly against
it.-Erie' Observer.

bills his intention to rival their feats, being not
only real sneezer to jump down the throat of
cataract, but an expert professor in the science
of diving But after all, unless some body should
oountenance the fellow by their presence and
little silver ballast there is not much probabili
ty he viii ever venture on this quick route to
eternity!
Every body from the country were here on
Thursday, in shoals, thronging the streets, and
banks the river both Sides besides the citizens
on the roofs and steeples,--to see the balloon go
up with Mr.. Lauriat. 1t was spectacle of some
interest, to see 30 gigantic bladder, long as
house, rising half the height of the Brick Church
steeple, carrying up basket, with boy in it
which seemed like noble spirited horse, ready
for fight, if the ropes holding it had been cut.
But, after long, anxious waiting and gazing, full
of expectation, the balloon lowered gradually
down to its starting point, and the spectators
moved slowly away about sunset, all filled with
disappointment, and some with more wicked
feeling All within the enclosure, were satisfied
that the @ronaut was not censurable for the
failure, as there was a lack of gas sufficient to
raise man, Wnlle 10 Senu on llttle, lnexpcflen
ced boy would have been unpardonably criminal
The failure has been honorably explained, and
needs not repetition. A mob on the occasion
was prevented only by the kind intcrposition of
the citizens--who altar great and protracted ef-
fort, restored peace and persuaded tho riotous to
dispense. While those who paid were satisfied
with the explanation given and the promise of
future gratuitous ascension, those who expended
nothing for the show but their time, were mad to
have the money paid back again. Such is the
reasonableness of the riotous rabble--such the
degeneracy of the times
The summer, has been more cold and variable
here than with us. The corn crop is poor,
wheat so light, and provisions so dear, we wonder
all the folks do not sell out and move to Michigan
to get something to eat. Wheat is from twelve
shillings to two dollars bushel, potatoes fifty
cents bushe, and flour nine, only nine dollars
barrel Expected to rise to ten by another week
What will become of the poor laboring people, the
coming winter, who have no means of getting
away, and who will scarcely live if they stay
