by the well known Horse Cock Oft Rock,
(thc best colt of the old Sherman Morgan
out of the noted Harf,reH Mare, sired by the
famous stock horse De Forest, imported by
DR.. Jarvis of Claremont, N. ii. There can be
no question as to the blood OF this fine horse,
which can be traced directly back on the mares
side, to distinguished imported English Mare.
Farmers, and lovers of good Horses, are re-
quested TO examine this horse before they make
any contracts for their breeding mares. His
action and carriage are very superior, and he is
not surpassed by any Stallion in the country
for trotting.
The owner of this fine horse has been at
much expense to procure one Of the best young
horses in this state, and he is certain that he
has succeeded, as far as muscular power, speed,
beauty and fine proportion can be combined in
one horse and his stock, which is now years
old. bids fair to be the first rate, and commands
ms high price as any stock on Connecticut
River of the same age. The owner can pro-
duce certificates of the above assertion to all
unbelievers.

Mr.. w. B. Moffat-Dear Sir: As a remark
able instance of the virtue and efficacy of your
Life Pills and Phoenix Bitters, in restoring lost
health to the afflicted, has occurred in my fam
lily, deem il duty owe both to yourself and
the public, to make the fact known, that others
suffering under similar circumstances might
perchance see this and obtain remedy in sea-
son to preserve them from premature grave.
My wife has been afflicted with the liver
complaint and general debility for upwards of
3years; and for the last months she has not
been able TO walk across the room. After try
ing various medicines prescribed by different
physicians, which gave her no relief, she was
given up as incurable. In this situation she
was gradually failing, when happened to call
upon your agent in this village, and he gave
me n copy of the Good Samaritan, the perus-
ing of which induced me to try your medicine,
although had but little hope Of her receiving
any benefit from il. The effect was surpris-
ing Before she had taken one bottle Of biiters
and one box of pills, She was so far recovered
as to be able to accomplish most of her house,
work without assistance.
Yours, respectfully,

AN EscAPE.-Miss Phyline Belknap liv-

met with an accident on Friday week, which
came near depriving her of life. Her moth
er's residence is near the Halseyvile Creek,
and having occasion to cross il, she attempt
ed to do so at the usual place, which was up
on some planks stretched across The creek for
that purpose. The late high water having
removed one from its place. & the water be-
ing shallow, she hazarded wading 10 the end
of the other. Just as she had gained il and
was stepping upon it, her foot slipped and
she fell into the stream which was quite
quick and at the place, and four rods below.
ran over a continuous surface Of rock very
uneven and in many places approaching to
lodges She was hurried down the stream
with considerable velocity, being buoyed up
by her clothes to which circumstance may
be attributed the preservation of her life
The water though not deep was under such
motion, and the surface Of the rock over
which il ran so smooth, as TO render aborlive
every effort stop. Down the stream she
was hurried over projecting rock into the
abyss below, aud anon with the velocity Of
an arrow again shot off with the current to
go over another and another fall, and in this
manner floated about thirty rods. During
all this time Miss B. exercised much pres.
ence of mind in holding her breath as she
plunged beneath the water as she went over
the rocks AT last she aoated into an eddy
and was rescued by heroic sister, who had
witnessed her distressing voyage. The IN,
fortunate lady is now, we understand, doing
