DEAFNESS.

DR.. McNAIR'S ACOUSTIC OIL.-Those deaf
from infancy often receive, in a most miraculous
manner their hearing when they least expect it, by
some triHng accident event, which shows them
how easily they might have much sooner had their
hearing and saved themselves and their friends the
pain of conversng in a loud tone, without pleasure
of being neglected and stunned to avoid that dis
tress which is felt mutually by the deaf person and
his hearers. How sacred duty, therefore, it is
that we use all necessary means to remove such an
atlcton, and enjoy the social qualities implanted in
our natures This EAR OIL has the effect so to re-
lieve the tension and bring into us the natural action
of the parts to restore the hearing when lost or
impaired. This is proved by SO many and wel-known
cases, that where known, it needs no praise The
great wish of the proprietor is, that each may speak
to others OF its uncommon virtues, till sufferers NAV
know and be relieved and restored by its use This
will be done in all cases of recent DEAFNESS and
many Of long standing. ALL DEAF PERSONS
should use this oil 1t will relieve at once or, if
DEAFNESS is just commencing, will remove the
cause and check its progress. Those who have been
long deaf should continue Its application few weeks
to hear WELL Each flask has full directions for use
attached to it.

From long acquaintance with DR.. Jayne's Car
minative Balsam, | believe il to be very happy
combination, and useful medicine in many COM
plants which almost constantly occur in coun-
try, such as Bowel Affections of children, Cholic,
Cramps, Looseness, Dyspeptic, Disorders of the
Stomach, Coughs and Affections of the Breast, to-
gether with all those diseases attended with sour
ness of the Stomach; and believe that physicians
will often find it useful remedy in their hands, and
that is proper for domestic use, and can be put
into the hands Of persons at large with perfect safety

! The next bill 'ake, az nar ~ approprlatlnl
Court House
| At the instance Of Mr.. WELLER this bill
was informally passed over for the present.
| Mr.. CAMPBELL then moved again to take
up he District Bank bill.
| The committee twice divided by tellers; and
although majority were in favor OF taking up
the bill, no quorum voted.
The CHAIRMAN counted the members. and
announced that there was quorum present, and
earnestly called upon gentlemen TO vote upon one
side or the other.
Here several members lett their seats, and
went outside the bar.
The vote was tried third time, and the tel|ers
announced GO in the affirmative, and 30 in the
negative-no quorum
Mr.. KENNEDY, of Maryland, asked the Chair
how many he had counted, and the reply was IL.
Mr. X. then submitted that 66 was majority, and
that the bill ought to be taken up.
The CHAIRMAN said the number might
have changed since the count.
Mr.. STEWART suggested that the committee
rise, in order to get call of the House.
Mr.. CAMPBELL said no. He would give up
the game. He asked the gentleman from Ohio,
(Mr. WELLER,) to allow the Alexandra Court
House bill to be taken up. This was done, and
the same was laid aside to be reported to the
House.
The bill in reference to the Howard Institu-
ton was also taken up, and favorably laid aside.
The Dill granting lands for the establishment
Of an Orphan Asylum in, Alexandra, was next
taken up.
Mr.. Chiffon made few remarks warmly
urging the appropriation, and setting forth the
objects of the charity.
Mr.. HALE opposed the bill, and insisted
ri - fhn
that if this donation was made to the Alexan-
drans, an equal amount ought to be given to the
Catholics Of Georgetown. He believed that there
was no power in Congress to make these ele-
emosynary gifts
Mr.. Chiffon very quietly read from list
of grants made to the District, several donations
to the Catholic College of Georgetown, and the
Sisters of Charty--to the latter, the amount of
$1,000.
This somewhat staggered Mr.. Hale, who had
counted upon making decided hit by his Sea
tholc" movement, and, perhaps, the more SO, be-
cause Catholics in his Stale are without the ben
eft of the English Emancipation bill.
After some further discussion, the Orphan Asy-
lum bill was laid aside to be reported to the
House
The Committee then rose and reported pro-
gress.
On motion of Mr.. CAMPBELL, the House a.
gain resolved itself into Committee Of the Whole,
and took up bill to grant certain lots for the ex-
tension of the Congressional Cemetery.
After some discussion, and one or TWO amend
ments, the bill was favoraby laid aside.
A bill was then taken up further TO amend the
act granting charter to the Alexandria Canal
Company. This bill was read, and favorably laid
aside.
The Committee rose and reported
In the House, Mr. CAMPBELL proposed that
the bills before it should be taken up, and finally
acted upon.
Mr.. HAMLIN moved that the House adjourn,
which prevailed.

terday by strict course of military instruction
and from what we could judge, the reputation Of
the several companies was well sustained A
grand parade took Place yesterday morning at 10
o'clock, and again in the evening at 4, which was
witnessed by large collection of citizens and

about o'clock. The only regret we hear ex-

DARING BuRGLARY.--Our enterprising neigh

robbed of various articles, by some rogue who
managed 10 break into their store. How such
daring vainy can be perpetrated upon Pennsyl-

without detection, it is difficult to imagine
