THE New CONSTITUTION OF Texas
The Washington Union, in speaking of the
new Constitution adopted by the Texas
Convention for the new State, says:
"Il has been received here with great plea
sure. 1t has been admired for some of the
new provisions which it has adopted; and
we have heard one of our best iurists ex-
press the opinion, that it is probably the best
constitution that has been formed in the u
nited States. Some of its features partake
of the liberal spirit of the age It's slipuIa-
tons for the benefit of females are calcula-
ted to extend and to improve the provisions
of the constitution of Louisiana. Its clauses
in relation TO slavery are calculated to open
the door sufficiently, but not too widely, for
the admission of slavery; and project the
master, as we'll as the slave.
''The people of Texas are to vote upon
its adoption on the 18th of October. There
is no question about its ratification by the
popular vote, although it may lose a few
votes in consequence of some apprehensons
as to the effect it may have upon the titles
TO land. There can be no solid foundation
for these fears The claimants of lands NAV
be assured that full justice will be done in
the courts of the United States in their be-
halfn

THE HEALTH OF LEoNARDTowN.-The
Beacon Of Thursday last, says 81! affords
us much pleasure to state that our village
is again becoming quite healthy. That ter
rible malady, the Typhoid, has entirely dis
appeared, and there is now but single case
of sickness in the whole place, and that Of
a very mild character. The health of the
county generally is also much better than
it usually is at this season. We have not
heard of single case of the Bilious fever
among our citizens for more than two weeks
past, and, as the weather is now becoming
quite cool, we are inclined to the opinion
that very few cases of it will occur The
fever and ague too is less prevalent than it
has been for a number of years before at
this season.

THE TIMES.
PORT TOBACCO, MD.
THURSDAY MORNING, OCT. 9, 1s45.

The health of our village and county this
summer and fall has been better than for a
number of years previous. There have been
but one or two persons sick in this village.
and from what we learn from our practising
physicians, persons throughout the county
have been equally healthy. In some parts
of the State, and even as near us as the adj
joining county of St. Mary's, there has been
much sickness, and too in locations usually
very healthy, or considered much more so
than ours. With US some seasons it is as
uncommon to escape bilious or ague and
fever as it is TO expect snow in July.

PARTISAN FAsHIoNs.-Ala late Partisan let
ter writer remarks that French fashions in
dress at present are the most ridiculous
that can be imagined. Men wear tiny hats,
with scarcely any brims coats almost
without any tails; trousers without straps,
and about yard wide at the ANGLES; ire
mendous waistcoats, of the fashion and d.
mansions worn in the year of grace 1745;
enormous watch ribons, bearing pondrous
lunches of seals. The ladies wear robes
fitting tight to the body, and buttoning up
to the chin like a soldiers jacket; paletots,
fastened in every respect like those Of men,
only made of silk and bonnets resembling
corpulent and apoplected coal-scuttles.

JUDGE DUNLOP, late Judge Of the Crmi-
nal Court Of the District of Columbia, has
been appointed by the President Associate
Judge of the Circuit Court, to fill the va
cancy occasioned by the decease of Judge
Thruston. The salary is $4,000, being an
increase of $500 upon the salary received
by him in the criminal court. A late law
of Congress requires one of the Judges to
reside in Alexandria. 1t is probable Judge
Dunlop will make that town his residence.

were not members, to ascertain whether or
not Bishop Onderdonk is to be continued
his salary. Upon inquiry, we are informed,
that by general consent the arrearages due.
up to the day of his suspension, are to be
paid, amounting to about $6,OOO-but that
he is to receive hereafter no salary at least
not until some further action is taken al

to be held in Philadelphia in 1912

Da-.Medical uses of Me Wild Che,ry-Ever since the settlement of America, Wild Cherry has been known to possess very important medicinal virtue. EOery body knew this fact, but nobody knew how to extract it's essential properties. Ev- cry mother gives Wild Cherry tea to her children for worms, for colds, and for almost every disease
 and adults throughout our country are in the habit of making compound or syrup of Wild Cherry Bark and other ingredients, to be used in spring as an antdote to complaints incident to that change ful season. It is found by experiment that the Wild Cherry possesses even far more important qualities than was ascribed to it. For the first stages of Consumption, Asthma, no matter ho,o long standing, Coughs, Liver Complaint, &c, it Is proved to be the best medicine known to man. Dr. Wilson's Balsam of Wild Cherry is chemical extract, combined with a similar extract of Tar, which enhances its value. Its success iu curing pulmonary disease. in almost every stage, after best physicians could do no more, has astonished the faculty, and led them to confess that Wistar g Balsam of Wild Cherry possesses principle here tofore unknown to medical men.
