Satisfied 10 be &lares.-Tho Ports
mouth, Ohio, Tribune chronicles the re-
turn TO Lewis Co, Ky, of three negro
men TO the home of their master, from
Canada, where they had escaped. The
Tribune says:-They state that their
condition at home with their master is
far better than any other in which they
could place themselves while absent.
One of them had hired to a man for
three dollars a month, the highest wages
he could get, and could only procure
every other Sunday TO himself at that.
They are nov satisfied they will fare bet
ter at home with their truck patch, and
having all their real wants supplied by
their master, than they can any where
else under the mockery of liberty, but
in reality a worse slavery than exists in
Kentucky. 1t is to be regretted all the
runaway negroes in our State have not
long since come 10 the same wise conclu-
sion.

In alate paper, published by the Millerites,
/ saw an article stating that the northern
lights foretell something terrible. The wri-
ter seems not to know that in the sixteenth
degree and northward, northern lights are
ofdaily occurrence, and SO have been from
time immemorial. So illuminated are the
heavens that persons may often see to read
by the light.
These lights occasionally come so far
South as to illuminate the sky i'm our latitude.
Sometimes they do not appear for many
wears. At the close of the seventeenth and
the beginning of the eighteenth century those
lights were not seen for a long period, and
when they re.appeared, about the y ear l7l7,
our ancestors, who had not seen or heard OF
them, were all alarmed, and actually suppo-
sed the day of judgment had come.
During my life have been so much &C
customed 10 see northern lights, falling stars,
so called, and fire balls, that they have long
since ceased to excite my curiosity.

There is no political news Of consequence

A great crowd of people, of all sorts and
descriptions. including many members of
Congress, collected this afternoon in front
of the portico of the Patent Office, to hear a
discourse from Mr.. Miller, of Millennium
celebrity, who had been announced by
handbills to preach at that place to-day
The crowd was immense amounting to ma
ny thousands. A railing was extended
across the lower fight of the lofty steps of
the portico, and police officers were station
ed to preserve order and to keep the crowd
off the steps. After much waiting and some
fighting between the officers and the sove-
reigns, who wished to be admitted to the
upper flight of steps among the members of
Congress and other dignitaries who were
assembled there in privileged and exclusive
dignity, it was announced by a clergyman
from the portico, that Mr. Miller was not

A PUBLIC BLESSING.

These Pills have long been known ant
appreciated, for their extraordinary anC
immediate powers of restoring perfec
health TO persons suffering under nearly
every kind Of disease to which the human
frame is liable.
They are particularly recommended tC
all those persons who are afflicted with
any kind of chronic or lingering com.
paint, as there is no medicine before the
public which has so natural and happy eff
feet upon the system in correcting the
stomach and liver, and TO the formation oil
healthy chyle and thereby purifying the
blood.
They are acknowledged by the hun
dreds and thousands who are using them,
10 be not only the most perfectly innocent,
safe and efficient medicine ever offered to
the public. Those who once make tri-
| al oftheso Pills, never afterward feel will
ling 10 be without them, and call again
and again for more; which is sufficient
proof oftheir good qualities
HEADEACHE-SICK OR NERVOUS.
Those who have suffered and are weary
of offering with this distressing com
plant, will find Spencer, Tegeta6ie Pills
in its effects. One single dose of the Pills
taken soon as the headea is felt coming
on, will cure it in one half hour entirely.
AS remedy in summer and bo,ocl COM
plants, they display their wonderful pow
ers to admiration, and are far superior TO
any thing in use for these complaints.
In HabduaI C0stireness, they are decid-
eddy superior to any Vegetable Pill ever
brought before the public and one 25 cent
box will establish their surprising virtues,
and place them beyond the reach ofdoubt
in the estimation Of every individual.
They are invaluable in nervous and hy-
pochondriacal affections, loss of appetite,
and all complaints to which females alone
are subject.
They are mild in their action, and con-
vey almost immediate conviction of their
utility from the first dose. They may be
taken by persons OF any age; and the feeble
the ntirm, the nervous and delicate are
strengthened by their operation, because
they clear the system of bad humors quiet
nervous irritability, and invariably pro-
duce sound health.
Upwards Of hundred and seventy Mous-
and 6oreS OF these inestmable Pills have |
been sold within the last twelve months in |
three States alone, and more than three
times the same quantity in other States.
rs an antl-biious medicine, no family
should be without them. "A single trial OF
them is more satisfactory than a thousand
certificates.

In such cIiS', il IS proper thai iho

should be well informed of the course pur.
sued by its particular representative, and
OF the bearings of all the discussions in
Congress, and of all its proceedings. The
important topics opened up in Congress,

sisted also OF about one thousand quarto
pages. These volumes were furnished
for $ each. The same amount of mat

ces. could not be afforded for less than $40
per volume. The matter being prepared
tor our newspaper,we are enabled to trans
fer II and convert it into the book form,
and sell 1t at the reduced subscription
price. But the volume of the reports, in
creased by the long session of Congress,
made the cost of the paper alone nearly
equal the price at which the volume was
sold. The publishers made nothing on
ihclr work. Anticipating that the ap.
preaching session will not be shorter than
the long one of the 9th Congress, we had
determined TO raise the price Of the Con.

new expenses TO add TO the value
of the work. But, being impressed with
