RICHARD THoMPsoN's LIFE PREsERFER

Coughs, Colds, Rheuurdtism, Group, Jthoop.
ing-cough, Hemorrhdge, and Splitting Blood.
WAsuIseroS, March

WAsHIseros, March g. 1S4l.
DEAR Sin Upon your renewed request, cannot,
with justice any longer withhold from you my cert
6cate Of confidence in the efficacy Of the Lille Pre-
server as a cure for hoarseness and cough.
In the fall Of 1870 was much exposed TO night
air. and often took cold which was attended by
hosrseness and slight cough, without fever or much
other indsposition In December | was scarcely ey.
free from this complaint, and during the early pa
Of the next February was never without some de-
gree OF hoarsoness cough until, despairpg Of the
sufiioiency Of Pease's IIoarhound Candy and COM
mon remedies, was induced to make trial Of your
Life Preserver. Before the middle Of March last
the use Of your medicine seemed to be the great
cause Of relief from the hoarseness and slight cough
which had 80 long annoyed me, and which all the
usual remedies had failed to remove.
II any one be led TO make the experiment, as !
did happily, Of the offered good he will at least
find IN IT as pleasant and harmless physc be
administered in the mode prescribed by you.
am, very respectfully yours,
JOHN LEEDS KERR.

OK THE SIGSs OF DEATH.-Dr Descamps, Of
Melan, has presented to the French Academy of Me-
dicne, memoir on the real signs of death. He
draws the following conclusions intended to guide
public authorities in the precautions that should be
taken against the danger of interrng prematurcly,
persons not really dead.
/. greenish blue color, extending uniformly over
the skin Of the belly is the real and certain sign of
death.
2. The period at which this sign appears, varies
much but it takes place in about three days, under
favorable circumstances Of warmth and moisture.
3 Thorough dlscooraton of various kinds, and from
various causes, may occur in other parts the charac
terisc mark OF death is to be found only in the belly
q. Apparent death longer be COMPOUNDED
with real death the belly being colored green
or blue IN any case Of the former
). This coloring Of tho belly which may be artii-
cay fastened, entirely prevents the danger Of pre-
mature lnterment.
There IS no danger TO public health, from the
keeping OF body until the appearance Of the char
acterisic sign Of death.-Lond Med. Goz., Wau 1919

TROUBLE on THE FRONTIER.

The Van Buren, (Arkansas) Inellgeneer states
that on the night of the 18th ult Alr Benjamin Wore
his wife, and traveller citizens of the United States
were murdered at the residence of Mr. Vore upon
the military road, in the Cherokee nation and the
house burned to the ground. The same paper con-
tains the following;
rumor has reached US Of considerable fight that
took place between the Shawnees and Comancbes
high up on the Brazos in which the Comancbes lost
some 80 or 40 slain and about 200 head of horses
This rumor may be true not; it is not important
or strange for this predatory warfare has been going
on for many years-and we not surprised to hear

Correspondence of lhe Aurora


kEAroNi N. j., Oct. IL, 1872.
The Jersey Blues into the field this time I'M
der the command Of the two captains-John Iqler
and Robert f. StOckton-and never has the democracy
been more triumphant
In this State, you well know the democratic
party has been eounselled to moderation and to con
citation. Captain Stockton's vindieation of MIR.
Tyler was extensively circulated and powerfully felt
throughout the State. Under his advice, the demo-
Gratis have been led To examine the principles Of Mr.
Tyler aud the measures of his administration, and
the result Of their consideration is, that they take
pride in defending that administrations and in defend
ing the character of the President from the aspersions
OF the Clay wings and the Globe democrats.
In truth, We have resolved TO give Mr.. Tyler the
vote OF New Jersey in the Baltimore Convention, and
that resolution will be carried into effect. The de-
mocrats Of New Jersey will cast their for John
Tyler, and on this you may rely. We have democrat
TIC maJorites in both branches Of the Legislature,
and next month we will show you Tyler governor,
Tyler council, Tyler assembly, and finally, Tyler
delegates to the Baltimore Convention Huzza for
the two captains VETo.

STILL BETTER.

We clip the following from the Public Ledger,
n neutral:
New JERSEY MISUNDERSTANDING to custom for
the last five or six years, the Democrats in New Jer-
sey, at the recent election, appear to have made o
clean sweep, carrying all their members of Congress
and majority In both branches OF the Legislature
AT least, such is the report handed last evening
The following returns of all the counties of the State
show the election of II Democrats in Council and
6 Wings; to the Assembly Sc Democrats TO % Wings
making majority on JOINT ballot OF 20, thus nsurng
the election of Democrat for Governor, and all the
State and County appointments TO The same party
but what Is OF more importance TO the people, the
calling OF a Convention 10 amend the Constitution, or
more properly speaking, TO form Constitution as
the State is at the present time wthou, instrument
that can properly be so designated.
The New York American (blacl Dartmoor
Federalist) says:
New Jersey, which, during years OF detection in
other States, has always been true TO her ancient
fame and the Wing cause, has now, when other States
are coming up TO the rescue, swung from her moor
ings and gone for Locoiocosm
The result is sufficiently known 10 make il sure
that the Locofocos will have ten counties out Of the
eighteen of which the State is composed viz. Hud-
son, Bergen, Passaic, Morris, !Middlesex, Hunter
don, Sussex, Warren, Atlantic, Monmouth.
The Wings have only carried Essex and Somerset,
and will carry Mercer Burlington, Gloucester, and
Cape May. Salem and Cumberland uncertain.
The Locofocos therefore, will have the Legisla-
ture, and consequently the Governor, who is chosen
by the Legislature
Next comes the Philadelphia Spirit of the
Times, spirited Democratic paper;
BRING OUT THE BIC GuS ONCE MoRE-ReHr END
ur.-NEw JERsEY.-Ten thousand cheers for New
jersey! Democracy again triumphant! The Dem
ocracy. contrary TO all expecon have carried every
thing before them in New Jersey. We have routed
the Federal Wings there badly they beat us
here, horse, foot and Dragons and have elected
every member OF Congress, and a handsome MAORI
ty IN both the Legislative Houses
The following the returns as furnished us last
| evening. They are truly glorious:

hopses who voted for the resolutions had written
such letter.. and that could do il with more propr
civ. He said if Mr. White could be induced to
vote for Mr. Adams he would obtain the vote of Ken
lucky and with it the votes of most of the Western
States, which would elect him, in which Mr..
CLAY would obtain the Apo ntment of Secretary Of
Stale | then inquired how that fact had been as
certained? His answer was that letters had been
ceiyed from gentlemen of undoubted veracy at
Washington city, containing such information that

Of Congress TO believe otherwise further protest

or more, the Harpers' establishment was burnt out

OHIO REDEEMED.

The returns from Ohio this morning are of the most
cheering character, and far beyond most ssngune
expectations. We give the counties received by the
wsybill this morning, and from all other sources.
Muskngum, Wing majority 100.
Guernsey, Loco majority So
These two counties make up the l4th Congression-
al District. Harper, (Whig) is elected by 1000
majority.
Licking, 225 Wing majority for Congress, whole
Wing ticket elected. Wing gain.
Franklin, 175 Wing majority. Wings elected to
the Legislature.
In the Congressional district composed Of Fairfield,
Pckaway, and Fayette, Florence, Whig elected
over Medll, Wing gain Fairfield (Loco) AIS, Pick
away, (Whig) $50, Fayette, (Whig) mostly to hear
from.
In the district composed of Perry Morgan, and
Washington, Perry gives $50 Loco majority, Morgan

Ia the district composed Of Belmont, Harrison,
