DEAR StR:-l very cheerfully add my testimony
with regard the efficacy OF Dr. Peters medicines
: wife had been for several years suffering anc
lingering under the effects of dyspepsia, with its
usual Accomplishments, when, in December, 1888,
purchased of you one box-fIom the use (which,
her health so far restored, that she deemed the
further of it at that time unnecessary. On a
return OF some symptoms of the disease during The
summer of 337, she resorted TO the same remedy,
and continued il until she had taken the contents
of three boxes. Since thar time she has been well,
and can, without Inconvenience, eat any thing that
sh. fancies.
From this case, and from the benefit 10 my own
health, derived from the of single box, am
prepared to believe thai this medicine Is justly
titled to all the credit claimed for il by its
advocates. Yours, very respectfully,
VIM. WATKINS.

DEAR SiR:--I embrace this opportunity OF ex-
pressing to you my pleasure at the un,ivailed sue
cess of youi Pills in this section of the country IL
is the general fault OF those who vend patent med
cines, to say much in their favor; but in regard
to your Pills, am firmly persuaded that they de-
far praise than you inclined 10 give
them. Six months ago they were scarcely known
here, and yet at present there is no other medicine
that can compare with them 10 popularity. In dys.
pepsia, sick headache, arrangement of the hillary
organs, and obstinate constipation OF the bowels
know of no aperient more prompt and ehcaenos
and have had considerable experience in alihesc
complaints.
would add, that their mildness and certainty OF
action render them safe and efficient purgative
for weakly individuals; and that they may be given
at all times without apprehension Of any of those
injurious consequences which 81 frequently attend
the application Ct caloncl or blue pill. On the
whole, consider your Vegetable Pills an nvalua-
BILE discovery.
Very respectfully,

TILE RICHMOND BANKs.


The following is the official annuncia-
ton Of the suspension Of specie payments
by the Banks Of Richmond.
At a Meeting Of the Presidents and Di-
rectors Of the Bank Of Virginia, the
Farmers Bank and The Branch Of the
Exchange Bank, assembled together
at the Banking house Of the Bank Of
Virginia, in Richmond, on Tuesday,
the 9th April, Is4I--
On motion, JOHN BRocKESBRouGm,
Esq. was called to the Chair, and JAMES
w. PEGRAM was appointed Secretary OF
the Meeting.
Thefollowng resolutions were adopted:
Whereas the Banks Of this city did,
on the first Of February last, enter Upon
the resumption of specie payments, and
have since steadily adhered TO the redemp-
ton Of their circulation in com, or ex-
change al the pleasure Of the holder; but
il becoming apparent that the resolution
10 pay specie, if persisted in, must press
with extreme severity upon the country al
large, that the difficulties to be encounter.
ed are greatly aggravated by the posi-.
ton Of the Banks in the adjacent States,
that the Commonwealth is under the ne.
cessity OF obtaining loans of the Banks,
and Of necessity their issues are there
by increased, and that il is not within the
power Of the Banking Corporations ofthis
State, to correct the exchanges unaided by
the Incorporation Of the Banks elswhere;-
Therefore
Resolred, Tina; the redemption Of the
circulation in coin be suspended, and that
the Banks confipc themselves to n line Of
policy which shall prepare them for re-
sumption at the earliest period it may be
attempted with success"
BANK OF VIRGINIA.
The President having communicated to
the Board or Directors the proceedings Of
meeting Of the three Banks Of this city,
held this day, the following resolutions
were adopted:
RESOLVED, That it is expedient, under
the circumstances, for the Bank of Virgil
MIA and its branches to conform to the re-
solution adopted at the meeting of the
three Banks ic this City, by disseminating
for the present, the payment of their notes
in coin.
Resotred, That general statement of
this bank and its branches be prepared
and published, in order that it may ap.
pear to the public that her condition has
not in the least degree been impaired dur
ing the resumption.
ReSoleed, That this Bank will be ready
to resume specie payments cotemporane-
ously with the Banks Of Philadelphia, or
Baltimore; or whenever the balance of
trade between this State and the Northern
Cities will render such measure prudent
and safe ; and to this end it will be the
fixed policy OF the mother Bank, and the
same is recommended to the branches, to
observe the utmost prudence in their DIS
counts, and TO proceed TO convert into ac-
tive and available resources their suspend.
ed debts and unproductive balances.

ing power appears to have acted from above,

The heat OF the fire which produced such
amazing effects must have burned with the
force OF the strongest furnace; and from the

says the author, TO attribute the catastrophe

at every sixteen feet, and lc, down upon a
rope an iron bucket, made at the top like a
wire mouse-tfap. and with piston and valve
above for the purpose OF pumping up the
gravel or stone which they had loosened. Az
ter working the pump for ten OF fifteen min

vancing by inches only. Pipes are sunk as

IN which the spring 10 opened, say fifteen feet
square by as MANY in height, rests upon an i
ron chain, of course of large size, and that
chain upon the top of the descending pipe, 90
as to force il downwards as fast as the earth is
bored away: The boring was an interesting
process. One man lifts the long drill by q
lever like pump handle, and so great length
of pole is sufficient in weight to strike down
again with requisite force. -,
Two wells have been opened the last sea
son. The state has tried the experiment of
sinking well to the depth OF six hundred feel,
Tor The purpose Of finding fossil salt, which ii
is supposed must be found, as il is found in
localities in other countries, where salt springs
abound and where the strata of the soil and
It's composition are the same as al Sama. The
experiment at Salma has as yet been without
success. Still it may prove successful: for in
Europe, borings have been made TO the depth
Of seven hundred and fifty feet, and in enc
place to nine hundred feet, and at these depths
salt was found.
The springs at Salina and Syracuse are the
property Of the State. The State bores the
wells, pumps the water up to elevat ed re.er-
vors, and supplies it to any who may wish to
make salt; receiving in return three or six
cents per bushel as fee, after the salt is
made. Thus is received an income to the
State OF two hundred thousand dollars year.
The salt is made by solar evaporation, and by
boiling. Acres Of ground are covered with
watts. The wafer contains, besides muriats of
sods Common salD little sulphate and car
Donate Of lime, and some magnesin, so tina, it
ispossible that other products, by and by. may
be made from these treasures from the bosom
Of the earth.
