CROSS ON THE MOON.

The Philadelphia Inquirer contains letter
from an officer in the u S, Army dated Fort
Leavenworth, Missouri, March 90, in which it is
stated, on the 14th of February, at 8 A. M. 'the
moon which had been obscured by a cloud for
some hours, burst forth of deep blood-red color,
with black cross of equal proportions over the
face, extending beyond the rim while on the two
sides small pieces of rainbow were visible After
continuing in this way for about an hour the color
of the moon changed to its ordinary hue, and the
cross became slvery white, with the edge ex-
tending beyond the rim, and touching the rain
bows. 1t continued so for haitian hour, and heavy
clouds then intervening, obscured the moon, which
set unseen. This phenomenon was seen by the
hospital attendants, who were up at that hour,
some of them very intelligent men, by the guard
and sentinels on post, and by several citizens of
Weston little town five miles off: The next
morning the sun rose accompanied by two sun
dogs, as they are commonly called, nearly equal
in brilliancy to the sum- and resembling two other
suns. This latter scene was witnessed by numbers.
In addition, for about two weeks past every night
at seven to eight o'clock, bright streak of light
has appeared in the heavens, coming from the west
and bearing about E. S. E., and resembling very
much what is believed to be the tail of comet.

immediate powers of restoring perfect
health TO persons suffering under nearly
every kind of disease to W hich the human
frame is liable.
They are particularly recommended to
all those persons who are afflicted with
any kind of chronic or lingering COM
plant, 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 OF
healthy chyle and thereby purifying the
blood.
They are acknowledged by the hum
dreds and thousands VINO are using them,

taken soon as the headache is felt coming
on, will cure it in one half hour entirely.
AS remedy in summer and bowel COM
plants, they display their wonderful pow
ers to admiration, and are far superior TO
any thing in use for these complaints.
In Habitudl CoaiUeness, they are decid-
eddy superior to any Vegetable Pill even
brought before the public and one % cent
box will establish their surprising virtues,
and place them beyond the reach of doubt
in the estimation OF every individual.
| They are invaluable in nervous and n.y.
pechondriacal affections, loss of appetite,
and all complaints 10 which females alone
are subject.
| They are mild in their action, and con-
vey almost immediate onvicton Of their

taken by persons OF any age; and the feeble
the niirm, the nervous and delicate are

they clear the system of bad humors quiet
nervous irrtablIity, and invariably pro-
duce sound health.

three States alone, and more than three
times the same quantity in other States,
! AS an antI-blious medicine, no family
