CaIamity--Fifty Lives Lost.

The last northern mail brings us some par
ticulars of dreadful fire at Syracuse, on Fri
day night, which originated about 10 o'clock
in an old building once used as a carpenters
shop, on the Oswego Canal, about 40 rods from
the Weigh-Lock. Firemen and citizens gen.
orally turned out. (says the Trbune,) and were
getting it under subjection, when the cry OF
"Powder in the building" was raised, and nun
dreds who heard it made good their escape IRON,
the impending danger. Others who dia ho'
hear the alarm, or who perhaps dIsregaruea ~
remained, and many still kept at thelr WorA 70
the very instant of death The explosion came
and the havoc which it produced is ihoescrioa-
bic. Every vestige of the buildings WIN Plles
of lumber abom II was scattered to great dis
tance Windows and doors were broken and
forced omen all over the village by the concus-
sion and the building tottered as if the earth
were rent by an earthquake.
The railroad car was despatched to Auburn
for medical aid, as it was impossible for the
phvsicians at Syracuse or in the neighborhood
TO attend to all the sufferers.
On drawing off the water in the canal bod
les were found and there was still large guam
tity Of lumber ir the canal by which more bod
les might be recovered and which had not been
removed.
The fire is supposed 70 have been the work
of an incendiary.

NeW-YOrk weekly Tribune.
PROSPECTUS.

The Publishers Of The New YORK TRIBUNE. en-
couraged by the generous patronage and hearty
approval which has been extended to their Daily
paper since its establishment, and which has al
ready rendered it the second in point of circulation
in the city, propose to publish, on and after the
18th day of September, WEEKLY edition, on a
sheet OF mammoth size, excluding all matter of
local or transitory interest. and calculated mainly
for Country circulation.
The Trt6une--whether in its Daily or Weekly
edition--will be what its name imports---an un-
filnching supporter of the Peoples Rights aud In
terests In stern hostility to the of superb
cial theorists the influence of unjust or imperfect
legislation, and the schemes and sophlstries of
selt-seeking demagogues. 1t will strenuoUsly
advocate the Protection of American Industry
against the grasping and to us blighting policy of
European Governments and the unequal cOmpe-
titlon which they force upon US. as also against
the present depressing system OF State Prison La
Dor; 1t will advocate the restoration of SOUND and
uniform National Currency; and urge discreet
but determined prosecution Of Internal Improve
ment. The Retrenchment, wherever practicable,
of Government Expenditures and of Executive
Patronage, will be zealousy urged. In short, this
paper will faithfully maintain and earnestly advo-
cate the Principles and Measures which the Peo-
pie approved in devolying on Wing Statesmen the
conduct oftheir Government.
But small portion. however, of its columns
will be devoted to purely Political discussions.
The proceedings of Congress will be carefully re-
corded; the Foreign and Domestic Intelligence
early and lucidly presented; and whatever shall
appear calculated to promote Morality, maintain
Social Order, extend the blessings of Education,
or in any way subserve the great cause of Human
Progress to ultimate Virtue, Liberty and Happi-
ness. will find place in our columns.
The Weekly Tribune will be published every
Saturday morning in Quarto form on a very large
imperial sheet, (3l by 42 inches and afforded toI
Subscribers at TWO DOLLARS year. Six CO.
pies will be forwarded year for Ten Dollars,
Ten copies for Fifteen Dollars, and any larger
number in the latter proportion. Payment in ad
vance will be invariably required, and the paper
stopped whenever the term of such payment ex-
pres. Subscriptions are respectfully solicited by

HydrophObia, or Canine Madness.-The Buff
falo Commercial publishes the subjoined mo
tees given in the newspapers of the 22d of
June, ls4l, by the Committee of Salubrlty, In
Paris:
lst. ANY person bitten by mad dog or any
other animal, should Immediately press with
the two hands all around the wound, so as to
make the blood run freely and extricate the
SLAYER.
I'd. Wash the wound with mixture of al
kali and water, lemon juice, lye, soap, salt wa
ter, urine or even pure water.
During the time of pressing and washing the
wound, warm a piece of iron in the fire and ap-
plv it deeply to said wound. Mind that said
piece of iron is only heated so as TO be able to
cauterize--that ii must not be red hot.
These precautions being we'll observed, are
sufficient to preserve from the horrid effects Of
hydrophobia, and every one should keep them
in his mind

Another Steamboat Explosion with
Loss of Life.
he New Orleans Bulletin saws:

The New Orleans Bulletin says:
On the 10th uIt about o'clock, +. M. an
explosion occurred on board the steam towboat
Swan, Capt. Limbert, short distance from the
English Turn. Two of her boilers burst, with
out the least previous warning, killing and
wounding or 10 persons. One of the boil
ers forced its way, at an angle of about As de-
grees, through the cabin and roof, and landed
on the hurricane deck---the other was shattered
to fragments, which were scattered in every di-
rection. The upper works of the boat were an
entire wreck. She had in tow al the same
time, the brig Hebe, and schooner Alexander
Washington, the latter of which received some
damage to her bulwarks, and had two men
scalded. The following is list of the suffer
ers as far as sceriained:-Robert W. Elliot, of
New Orleans, killed; Capt William Andrews,
pilot, killed; George BrOdy, engineer, since
dead; P. Ames, steersman, killed; black man
owned in Mobile, killed. The cook, the stew
ard, and fireman, were wounded---and one or
two of the crew of the schooner A. w Capt
Limber had young daughter on board. who
had but an instant before the explosion retired
to The ladies' cabin, and thus, with her father,
escaped destruction,

BY communication dated, August Sih, re-
ceived at the Department of War, from Col.
Worth, commanding the army in Florida, it ap-
pears that the number of Indian captures con-
tinued 10 increase.
On the 6th of last month, Sergeant Nash, OF
the Sth infantry, captured the remainder OF
Coosa Coacooches band, five in number. From
these the position of twenty-five of Halleck's
band was ascertained, of which Capt Gwynne
succeeded, without bloodshed in securing the
chief and two warriors. The rest had aban-
doned their camp before Captain G. succeeded
in penetrating to their hiding place. Their
crops, the most fruitful yet discovered, and COW
ering thirty acres, were destroyed. Two OF
these confessed having participated in the mur-
der OF an express in April last, under the sub
chief Waxahadjo, who was secured at the time
and executed The alternative having been
submitted 10 them, of securing the presence of
the rest of their people Of sharing the fate of
their leader, they Immediately despatched a
messenger 10 them for that purpose, and no
doubt is entertained of a successful result
This capture will probably serve 10 operate
upon their chief Halleck, and other bands in
the same neighbourhood
The chief of the Seminole Indians, who,
with the Mickasukies, are in the southern part
OF the peninsula. had promised TO meet Colonel
w. at place appointed, next moon. The lat
ger manifest, as yet no disposition TO yield, but
strong hopes are entertained that this will be-
fore long be brought about. Two hundred and
one indians. in all, are now in at Tampa, and
there is every prospect of speedy pacifcaton
of the country west of that place. The effect
ofthis would be tofaciliiate the operations south
Very considerable reduction has been made in
the expenditures, and every thing promises
well--Nalional In,eiigencer.

curious fact in Natural History is mention
ed by the Philadelphia Gazette:
merchant in Front street near Chestnut,
has cat in his counting room with a litter Of
young Kittens. About week ago two young
rats were caught and brought to the CAT, one of
which she Immediately destroyed, and the 9TH
er was LEFT to her mercy. Day before yesier-
day it was accidentally discovered that the rat
was nesting among the kittens. 1t was taken
out and held up before pussy, but she only
licked it with maternal tenderness. and when
it was again laid down, it crawled 10 her and
sucked in company with her own youngsters,
and so continues on the best terms with the

PETER w BLAIR, JR. was arrested al a pri-
vate house in the suburbs of Philadelphia on
Saturday 18th inst. by Sheriff De Camp, with
the assistance of those interchangeable officers
Slater and Byrne, of that city, and returned TO
his old quarters in this Town on Sunday morn
ing, but lodged in an apartment from which it
would bother "auld cloote" himself to abstract
him without the assistance or consent of the
Sheriff.
By means not generally known, Blair found
himself at Elizabethtown early on Tuesday
morning, where he took the first train Of cars
10 Philadelphia. He played ''possum," and dp-
peared 10 be very much ntoxicated--so much
so that he could not hold up his head long
enough 10 get the money from his pocket to
pay his fare The travelling Agent however
caught glimpse of his face and recognized
him, but not knowing him TO be a fugitive from
justice, he proceeded on his journey without
molestalon At a hotel in Philadel phia he en-
tered his name as ''Mr. Wilson, of Boston" and
on Wednesday he took his quarters with a pri-
vate family, TO which place our Sheriff traced
him and made the arrest.
But little sympathy is nOw shown for this un-
fortunate man, for instead of making his way
10 Texas, or Canada, or some other jumping
off place, as soon as he gained his liberty, he
was spending his precious time in populous
city, where the hawk eyes of the police Off
GERS mark every stranger or suspicious looking
personage.-JrSeyman.

the public against man named ]. NJ. Kirk,
who was married in July last, in Tioga county,
Pa, to Miss Ellen Still About the first of
April last, passing under the name of DR.. Jo-
seph Nj. Kirk, he went to Williamsport, Pa,
with wife and three children, and rented a
house, declaring his intention to be to settle
and practice medicine. About five weeks ago,
he left Wiliamsport, with the ostensible pur-
pose Of collecting some money due him until
he himself wrote a letter 10 gentleman at
from Washington city, dated on
the Sd inst. giving some directions in relation
TO his family, and stated that he would imme-
diately leave for Texas. The sequel is, he left
Washington, leaving the young lady whom he
had so grossly deceived into marriage in Balti-
more, behind him, after having taken her TO
Washington, and kept her there several days.
He at different times passed under the name OF
Joseph M. Kirk, and Joseph w. Kirk.

cure of every durable disease a0iU be found IN the
INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS,
OF THE
North American College of Health.
THESE extraordinary Pills are composed of
plants which grow spontaneously on our own SOIL;
and are therefore, better adapted to our constltu-
tons, than medicine concocted from foreign drugs,
however well they may be compounded; and as
THEINDIANVEG PILLS are found
ed upon the principle that the human body is in
truth
SUBJECT TO BUT ONE DISEASE;
viz: corrupt humors, and that said medicine cures
this disease on
NATURAL PRINCIPLES
By cleansing and purifying the body; it will be man
iest, that if the constitution be not entirely ex-
hausted-a perseverance in their use. according
to directions is absolutely certain to drive disease
of every name from the body
When we wish to restore Swamp or Morass
to fertility, we drain it Of the superabundant wa
ters; in like manner if we wish to restore the body
to health, we must cleanse it of impurity.
THE INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS
Will be found one of the best, if not the Uery best
medicine IN the avorld for carrying out this
GRAND PURIFYING PRINCIPLE,
because they expel from the body all morbid and
corrupt humors, the cause of disease in an easy
and NATURAL MANNER; and while they every
day
GIVE EASE AND PLEASURE,
disease of every name is rapidly driven from the
body.
The above named INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS, have
been three years before the American public; and
we can now say without fear of contradiction, that
of all the various medicines which have heretofore
been popular, not one has given such universal
satisfaction, or obtained such permanent hold
upon the affections ofthe people. Not only do all
who use it invariably experience relief, and re-
commend it in the strongest terms: but it has ef-
fected some of the most astonishing cures ever
performed by medicine.
Hitherto, very few of the numerous testimonials
which have been received in favor of this exraor-
dnary medicine have been published as the med
cine obtained its present great celebrity more by
its own intrinsic goodness than from extensive ad-
vertising. 1t has been deemed proper however to
offer the following opinions Of the public press,
together with few extracts from letters Agents,
merely to show, that the fame of the Indian Vege-
table Pills, is not confined to any one section, but
is rapidly extending tselftoe part ofthe Union.
From the Philadelphia Saturday Eoening Post.
THE INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS.
Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills are attaining
great celebrity in New England as well as other
parts of the United States. The attempt of per-
sons to defraud the public by the sale of spurious
articles, meets with general reprobation. Mr..
Wright is an indefatigable business man, and
shows an array of cures by the medicine which
warrant confidence in the virtues of his Indian
Vegetable Pills.
From the Philadelphia Spirit of the Times.
THE INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS.
People are pretty well satisfied by this time,
that Calomel, and the other thousand and one min
eral preparations of the shops, better adapted
as general rule to kill rather than cure the pa
