FAILURE OF Gas At KENAwHA,-We
find the following in the last number Of the
Pittsburg CronicIe:
We learn from a letter in the Richmond
Times that the remarkable columns OF gas.
which short time since burst from the salt
wells Of the upper district, near Charleston.
have entirely failed, and, what is more as.
tonishing, the salt water has disappeared
along with them. So complete has been
the failure, that, in some instances, the pro.
prietors have abandoned their furnaces -
The writer suggests the following explana-
ton: In the district of the gas wells, the
boring has been SO deep, that strata OF lime
stone have been reached, as is proved by
the fact that pieces of staactites have been
thrown 20 the surface by the columns OF
gas. 1t is not improbable that the salt wa
ter has sunk down and disappeared through
assures of the limestone rock, which have
been thus reached by the uncommon depth
Of boring.
1t is stated, however, that the supply OF
salt from the upper district will be abundant
and that three million of bushels will proba,
bly, be shipped down the Kenawha during
the present year-much more than IS con
sumed by the whole State of Virginia.

a highly favorable notice from the not easily

any printer can cast his own plates without
any other fixtures than is TO be found in anv

FAMILY MEDICINES.
TTNTIRTNG RESEARCH, travel and labor,
~ combined to the advantages afforded by an
extensive and diversified practice have enabled DR.
J. NJ. MARTIEN to make various highly import.
ant discoveries in the healing art.
In Offering his preparations to the human family,
DR.. Marten fearessly hazards the assertion, that
they are not only upsurpa ssed, but not e9Hdlled,
either for their curative properties, or for mdness,
safety and certainty in their operations, by any
other preparations compounded for similar purpo-
SEES, now before the public.
Dr. James VI. MARTENS InuiaciJ2e Pills, for the
cure Of Fever and Ague and all other Fevers. have
not in a single instance failed to accomplish per
feet cure when the directions have been strictly
followed. This medicine has in various violent and
desperate cases. effected radical cures after the pa
tents had been abandoned and their condition pro-
nounced hopeless, by medical gentlemen Of high
professional character.
DR.. MARTENS ANTI-BILloUs VEGETABLE UNI
vERsAL LIFE PGLLs.-Ths medicine will certainly
remove all impurities of the blood, and is an eff
fpctual remedy in many of the complaints which
atlct the human system, and for the various pain
full and vexaous diseases incident to the fema lie
sex, no preparations now known to the public are
equal to these pills. AS cathartic, they are en-
tfely safe, always effcucious, AID operate with I'M
usual mildness: they also act as cosmetic and
render the complexion clear, rich and fair.
DR.. MARTENS .4NTI-DysPEPTIC AND ANTI-CoN-
sUMPTIvE PILLS These pills are principally pre-.
pared of Indian remedies, and operate almost like
charm. For dyspepsia, consumption, chronic
cough, pain in the breast splitting blood and COM
plants of tho bowels, generally, this medicine is
certain cure when taken according to the accom-
panying directions. For many Of the complaints
with which children are afflicted, it is truly effca-
cious and without rival.

The GREAT Fossil SNAkE.-We find the
following in the New York Journal Of Com.
merce, OF the 29th ult:
The sea serpent is no longer a doubtful
character. The monster bones, found by
DR.. kock some months ago, in Alabama,
have been put in order for exhibition at the
Apollo, in Broadway. They are arranged
just as they were found embedded and pet.
rIfed in the chalk and limestone. They are
all IN a remarkable state Of preservation, and
some OF them almost as perfect as if Just ia.
ken from the animal. The spinal bones, as
now arranged, measure one hundred and
fourteen feet in length, and the animal must
have measured one hundred and twenty five
feet. Thrty-two Of the ribs, apparently
about half the whole humber, have been re.
covered in good state, and prove that
this enormous snake must have measured
twenty-five feet in circumference. Al
though found so far inland, the monster no
doubt belongs 10 the deep, and was thrown
out OF his elements 10 die where he was
found by some CONFUSION Of the earth. A
scientific gentleman, who came in and ex-
amlned the teeth and bones: said the animal
was evidently calf, and far from being
mature in rs growth. In this dav, how.
ever, he would have fully sustained all that
has been said Of the sea serpent off our At
antC coast.

CeHJtc0te OF Mrs. Nancy Hdt2hanS.
DR.. James NJ. Martien-Sir:-A duty which
owe to the public as well to yourself. impels me
to advise you of the great benefits that have re-
suited within my immediate knowledge from the
use of your Medicines. Those unacquainted with
you, or with your long experience and unsur-
passed skill as practising physician might readily
be inclined to believe, that you are attempting
base imposition upon the unsuspecting and credu-
lOus. But it must be admitted, and the afflicted
who have used your Medicines are certainly under
the conviction, that you have Appropriated perfec-
ton in the healing art, have, myself, admins
tered your FEVER PILLS, when life was almost
gone, and every hope had been abandoned by gen
tlemen well skilled in your profession, and I hare
neuer knopn the medicine TO fall | was present,
myself, in nine cases of obstinate fever, in all Of
which your Fever Pills were used. The rapid re.
covery of the patients, in erery instance, occa-
stoned surprise and establishment in those who
were acquainted with their condition. | have alSo
used your UNIVERSAL LIFE PILLS, and frequently
administered them others, and am persuaded that
universal medicine, they are unequalled. In
fact, suffering humanity is largely indebted to YOU
and at no very remote period, the many blessings
YOU have been instrumental in mparting to the
afflicted, will meet with the grateful acknowledge
ments of a grateful people.
