TO any other medicine within his knowledge.
DR.. Amory Hunting of Franklin, Mass. writes
that after having prescribed the usual remedies
without relief, and having consulted with sever
al eminent physicians, he has found the Vegeta-
bic Pulmonary Balsam to have had the desired
effect, and recommends il as a safe, conve nient
and efficacious medicine.

LuDIcRous ErFEcrs OF THE APPEARANCE OF
ACoMRr IN 17l2.-In the year l7l2, Mr.. Whis-
ton having calculated the return of a comet,
which was to make its appearance on Wednes-
day, the l4th of October, at five minutes after
five in the morning, gave notice 10 the public
accordingly, with this terrifying addition, that
total dissolution of the world by fire was to take
place on the Friday following. The repuia-
tion Mr.. Winston had long maintained in Eng
land, both MS divine and q philosopher, len
little or no doubt with the populace of the truth
of his prediction. Several ludicrous events now
took place. A number Of persons in and about
London seized all the barges and boats they
could lay their hands on in the Thames, very ra-
tionally concluding, that when the conAagra-
ton took place, there would be the most safety
on the water. A gentleman who had neg'cc
ted family prayer for better than five years, in
formed his wife that it was his determination
to resume that laudable practice the same even
ing but his wife having engaged ball at her
house, persuaded her husband to put il off till
they saw whether the comet appeared or not.
The South Sea Stock Immediately fell to per
cent. and the India to IL and the Captain of a
Dutch ship threw all his powder into the river,
that the ship might not be endangered.
The next morning, however, the comet ap.
peared, according to the prediction, and before
noon the belief was universal that the Day of
Judgment was at hand. About. this time 223
clergymen were ferried over to Lambeth, it was
said, 10 petition that short prayer might be
penned and ordered, there being none in the
Church Service on that occasion. Three maids
ofhonor burned their collections of novels and
plays, and sent to the booksellers to buy each Of
them Bible, and Bishop Taylor's Holy Living
and Dying The run upon the Bank was SC
prodigous, that all hands were employed from
morning till night in discounting notes and han
ding out specie. On Thursday, considerable
more than 1000 kept mistresses were legally
married, in the face of several congregations
All to crown the whole force, Sir Gilbcr
ueathcote, at that time Head Director of tht
Bank, issued orders to all the Fire Officers il
London, requiring them 'to keep good look
out, and have particular eye on the Bank o
England

A Street Fight.

a disgraceful street fight occurred between
Governor Thomas of Maryland, and Governor
Mcdowell of Virginia, at Staunton, in the lat
ter State last week. The disgrace ofthe thing
was heightened by the fact, that the parties are
closely connected by matrimonial alliance
the one being the son-in-aw Of the other The
Richmond Star gives the following account Of
it:
ave have the particulars from a correspon-
dent o. a fight that occurred at Stsunton on
Tucsd ay last, between Gov. Mcdowell and
Gov. Thomas of Maryland. Gov. Thomas reach.
ed that place in the Valley stage, about II o.
clock, and Gov. Mcdowell in the Charlottesville
stage, about an hour afterwards. They put up
at the same hotel, and met there, but did not
spcak--both desiring to take the Lexington
stage. When the stage came up, Gov. Nc
Dowel handed his lady into the stage, and he
was also in the act OF entering, when he obser-
we'd Thomas at his side, and demanded where
he was going, to which he replied, ain the
stage This he was assured he should not do,
and from words they proceeded to blows, Gov.
Mcdowell employing his umbrella with marked
effect upon his adversary. The bystanders then
i1teriered, and the battle was stopped-Gov. +.
declaring that he had not received fair play
BY the persuasion of friends, Gov. Med. with
his lady took private conveyance to Lexington
Govt. continuing in the stage. 1t was anti.
! cipated that another 'scene" would occur a,
| Lexington, from which place news was anx
iously expected. The affair has caused great
! talk and excitement at Staunton"
