DR.. Sherman:-Dear Sir: One of my daughters,
aged II years, was troubled for about eighteen
months with hacking cough, broken and disturb
ed sleep, &c. She vas fast wasting away, although
she quite heartily. Several physicians attend
ed her without any benefit. From reading the di
rections accompanying your Worm Lozenges, de-
scribing the symptoms of Worms, thought she
might be thus troubled, and accordingly procured
box, which, to my surprise, perfectly cured her
in one week. They are most excellent medicine,
and believe my daughter owes her life to them

luton, which is intended 10 bear upon the
controversies between Maine and Georgia,
and New York and Virginia: Orrather
between Governor Seward and Virginia.
Resolved, That the refusal Of one
State to surrender person charged with
the commission of a crime within another
State, and who shall flee from Justice, is
in open disregard of the plain letter ofthe
Constitution, subversive of the peace and
harmony of the Union, and destructive of

THE Rail. ROAD,

The Rail Road is progressing rapidly IN our
roizhborhood. Adjoining this town there has been
.ome very heavy stone work, bridging, embank-
rasnts, &c. amongst which may be mentioned the
bridge which will pass Tuscarora Creek at the
mill. This will res, upon sixteen rnassiVe stone
columns feet in diameter, Of the Doric style,
having square rough-dressed pedimen,s, the whole
being IL or 10 feet high. The frame work of the
bridge is now being put up, and when finished, the
tout ensemble will be very imposing. THIS siruc-
,ure has been decided upon, in preference to an
snbnuk unen', the latter mode being more expensive.
y The eastern abutmeni of the bridge over the
Opseuon Creek, miles below town, has been
found detective, and requires TO be rebuilt but, we
learn il will be replaced by the fall Many portions
of the road are ready for laying down the
wooden rails and sils, and the contracts for the de-
livery of the iron rails, spikes &c. have been clos
ed some time.
Il is the intention Of the Company, we UNDER
stnnd to hasten the completion Of the Railroad to
Hancock, Nd, where il will touch the National
Road. which will at once secure the western travel
70 Baltimore, well as that which would make
Baltimore a point. This would add something
more than 40 miles to the road but the entire dis
lance would nevertheless b, traverssd in little more
than half q day. We also understand that an eff
fort will be made to have cars running by the Is, OF
January next.

corporate National Bank 7" says :-"ln
reply to the first branch of your enquiry,
quote and adopt the language of General
HARRISON, in his speech at Dayton, OHIO.

press grant Of power for such purpose, and
il could never be Constitutional to exer.
else tina. power, saue IN The ereni the pow-
crS granted 10 Congress could not be car.

an Institution The latter branch Of your
enquiry is freely answered by my answer
to the first part. The Constitution con.
fers on Congress, in express terms, all
powers which are necessary and proper,
to carry into effect the granted powers"
Now, if the powers granted could not
be carried into effect, without incorpora,-
ing Bank, then il becomes necessary
and proper, and, of course, expedient.

would deny, who desired to see the exis.
