Mr.. VIM. Tucker having lately been restored to
a sound stale OF health, through the efficacy of DR..
liunts's Botanic Pills, thinks it an indispensable
duty to state certain facts relative to the disease
under which he had so long suffered. The sym
toms were "a painful obstruction, with constant
rejection of food, headache, palpitalion of the
heart, owness of spirits, troublesome dry cough,
dizziness, tightness at the chest aud difficulty OF
breathing, almost constant pain in the side, loins,
and shoulders, accompanied with much languor s.
debility. These Affections, together with an I'M
usual degree offatulence, brought on such st ate
OF extreme weakness, as to prevent him from at
ending TO his business, and his health appeared
lost beyond recovery. His friends and relatives
became alarmed at the melancholy prospect, and
strongly recommended Hunts Botanic Pills-thev
were administered, and in "a few DAYS produced
astonishing relief, and finally realized perfect re-
storation 10 sound health.

From the Maine Farmer.
Good Sentiments.

AGRIcuLTuRE is the nursery of patrIo.
tism.
A wise government will not be slow in
fostering the agricultural interests.
Let every farmer who has son TO
educate, believe and remember, that sci
ence lays the foundation Of every thing
valuable in agriculture.
Science must combine with practice to
make good farmer.
The opposition against book farming
rests on the shoulders of two monsters,
ignorance and prejudice.
Ifyou separate science from agriculture,
you rob nation of its principal jewel.
Agriculture, aided by science, will make
a little nation great one.
All the energy of the hero, and all the
science Of the philosopher, may find
scope in the cultivation of one farm.
A skilul agrculturist will constitute
one Of the mightiest bulwarks Of which
civil liberty can boast.

sun-hower, which measures 3 feet 10 inches in
circumference. The leaves of the stalk, it is
said, are now used in the city of Philadelphia for
the purpose of manufacturing segars, which arc
celebrated for certain medicinal qualities. The
seeds used in the manufacture of oil, equal in
quality to that made from nax-seed.

An accident more fatal and appalling III
It's consequences than any we have been
called to record in this city, took place on
Saturday afternoon august 22I The
scene of the occurrence was the State
street Bridge, perhaps ten minutes before
the departure of the afternoon boats. A
Mr.. Cavenah, deranged person, of West
moreland, Oneida county, under the charge
of Messrs. Stevens and Fuller, of that
county, on his way to the asylum at
Hudson, became refractory when they
reached the draw, and attracted crowd
of persons passing to and from the steam
boats /; and these crowded the passage so
as to prevent the progress of the carts,
carriages, &C., until the weight became
too great and the draw broke, percipita-
ting all who were on it into the Basin
twenty feet below and in twelve feet
water. 1t is supposed that at least eighty
persons fell with the draw; surrounded
by horses, baggage wagons, carts and the

boats to the rescue of those who were
struggling for life. The surface of the
water was literally black with the moving
heads, and with floating hats, papers, &c.
As soon as these were taken into the
boats, the broken portion of the draw was
drawn away, and tien commenced the
search and efforts to recover the bodies
that had fallen under it. In the course of
fifteen minutes, large number were
taken out, aud conveyed to the different
canal boats for resusctation, if possible,
not one however, we regret to say, was
restored TO animation
