SERIOUS AccDENr.-We regret TO state that
our old and excellent fellow-ctizen. Jesse Brown,
Esq, met with an accident yesterday morning,
caused by the rapid driving of negro who had
charge Of a cart and horse Mr. B. had stopped
at the corner of 7th street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. In his buggy wagon, and was engaged in
conversation with gentleman upon the pave
ment, when the cart Of the negro struck the We
icle OF Mr.. B., completely overturning it, and
throwing him with great violence upon the curb
stone, nfiicting two or three frightfal wounds
upon his head. He was taken to the hotel, and
the best medical advice Immediately sent for,
who pronounced the wounds, although severe,
not dangerous.
The negro was arrested, and committed to
await a further examination, when, we hope, lie
will get his deserts.

THE FRUlrSuL FAR WEsT."-We have been
infinitely amused, says the New York Aurora, at
the following serio, comic epistle, which we
find in the Memphis Eagle. The editor of that
paper gives it at the close of very pretty para
graph about the far west" as an illustration
Of the Jruitfulness of that delectable land He
says that the epistle is neither more nor less
than young western mothers account of her
self to his better half A few years since they
were giddy girls, and wild, frolicksome school
mates; now both are testing the realities OF
womanhood, and rearing families. Our heroine
married clever farmer, and moved to the far
west" In her last she writes:
"DEAR Cousin: have another daughter,
named ---, making sir children, already. |
declare, J., am almost crazy sometimes when
think, and look upon the host of brats around
me-. | have no time to do anything in the
world, but stay at home and drudge and scold
don't expect to stop under fifteen children, and
the thought is not at all gratifying. But we are
living in the abundant and fruitful : far west,
and should have expected nothing else before we
came out; everything grows in proportion, and
so suppose have no reason to complain. AT.

A meeting Of the friends Of Wax Buasx and
JOHNSON was held at Harrisburg on the 18th In
slant. Among the regular resolutions was the
following on the Tariff:
Resolved, That we are in favor of proper
and judicious tariff; such as will advance the
interests Of the whole people of the United
States"
What is here meant by a "proper and judi
cious tariff /" was explained by the following
resolution, adopted at later stage of the pro-
ceedings:
Resolred, As the sense Of this meeting, that
the existing Tariff nothing more nor less than
sufficiently protects the manufacturing, mining,
agricultural, and aboring interests of Pennsyl-
vania and that for its passage, we are mainly
indebted to the Hon. JAMES BUCHANAN, and for
its permanency we must rely chiefly on his well
known consistency, and Interchangeable devotion
to his native State and its vital interests"
Oh, no! The Black Tariff" then, is just
the thing, is it? Well done, Locofocoism! We
see symptoms that the medicine given you by
the people during the last Congressional cleo
tons is beginning to operate II that home-
pathc dose work such wonders, how complete
will be your purgation at the next Presidential
election! But Mr.. Buchanan deserves all the
thanks, does he? What for! For doing his
best to destroy the efficiency of the Tariff, by
creating doubt of its permanency How can
tho Tariff protect the manufacturing, mining,
agricultural, and laboring interests Of Pennsyl-
vania," if Locofocoism is continually agitating
the question Of repeal? Will your manufac-
turers erect factories, your miners invest for
steam engines and railroads, your farmers extend
their farms, or your laborers hope for better
times, until the Tariff is beyond the danger Of
change? No, assuredly not and no greater
enemy of the interests Of his native State can be
found, than that Senator who has produced a
degree Of distrust in the Keystone, by his prom
Use to alter the Tariff, as soon as he could
If Mr.. Buchanan deserves credit for his devo-
ton and consistency on this subject, where is
his speech in defence of that tariff bill, which is
just the thing? Where was the voice once so
eloquent in defence of the mining interests,
when called on by Mr.. Clay to assist in the pas
sage Of that law /? Silent! Silent The word
"amen" stuck in his throat, when Clay and
others cried "God speed the country, its honest
'laborers and toiling millions " He could not
say "amen"-party would not allow it. The
interests Of the Keystone were sacrificed to the
interests of party. He was looking beyond the
iron hills and coal mountains Of the broad State
Of Pennsylvania, and squirting towards the
South for Presidential nomination Never
was a more selfish course adopted, or more
unpatriotic vote given, than when James Bu-
chanan denounced the present Tariff, and yet
voted for it!

are both of lion frames and iron constitutions.

l have recommended the Perifocal Spectaces to sew
eral patients, and have received from most of them
warm encomiums upon the article. They assert that
these Ola do not fatigue the eyes by long use as
is apt to be the with the double convex Spec

with the opinion any optcian would form from his

w. p. Russell, of Middlehury, he having
purchased of the Original Patentee the er-
cl.s;.e right to make and rend the same with
in and for lie County of Addison. VT
The Patent Lace has now been before the
public for number OF nonths-hundFeds
have been applied in different parts OF the
country, and with a success never before
equalled by any REMEDIAL agent Numerous
well authenticated certificate, of its beneficial
influence in the removal of diseases OF long
standing. might be furnished from this imme-
diate vicinity-in addition TO the statement
of cases and certificates Of cures furnished by
DIR. Banning aud others. But this is not
deemed necessary, as at the present time ref
erence can be given TO individuals wearing
the Lace in nearly every Town in the Coun-
~.
PHYSICIANS have long felt the necessity Of
a supporter differently constructed and more
perfect in its adaptation TO the human form
than any that had been presented to the pub
lie. The invention of DIR Banning's meets
with their general appreciation, as it lis de-
signed to relieve symptoms, and to remedy a
class of physical maladies which can not be
reached by medicines alone.
The decent or displacement Of the vicera
from relaxation of the abdominal muscles or
other cause. tends to alter and derange the
function of every organ in the human system,
and in many cases this deviation from the
natural healthy position Of parts is the sole
cause of general debility in Males 81 Females
of Dyspepsia, affections of the Stomach and
Lirer Palpitdtion Of the Heart, Spinal Irri-
tation, Hysteric Hypocondria, Piles, Pr0idp-
sas Uteri, Suppression Of Urine. The BrOH-
chitiS of public speakers, and inciPient Con
sum ption-all of which will be much relieved
if not entirely removed by the use of the Pa
tent Lace, when their existence is caused by
Physical arrangement and a mechanical dis
placement of parts which can be readily as
certained by observing the form and syraP-
toms of the person affected.
This instrument has been examined by
Drs. Mott, Rogers, Frances and Griscomb
of New York, the Faculty OF Pittsburgh,
Hartford and New Haven and has obtained
their favorable testimony.
Application for the Lace can be made at
the honse Of the subscriber, two door. south
of the Court House. Patients at a distance
will be visited at their residence if required.
A specimen of the Lace together with va
rious kinds of the most approved Trusses
now in use can at any time be examined at
the Druggist store of Russell 81 Gridley first
