ST. CHARLES HOTEL.
Neither will they be persuaded, though one
rose from the dead
The profound knowledge Of human nature
exhibited in the Bible, is strong evidence OF
It's divinity Thellquor rafickers often fur
nish illustr ations of Bible trnlh.
But few days ago the floor of the Saint
Charles Hotel was stained with the blood OF a
fellow being, who once had strong affections
and noble qualities; but who, driven 10 mad
ness by intoxicating liquor, endeavored TO flee
from himself in time, by hurrying into eternity,
by suicide. One would have thought that a
scene like this would have closed up forever,
every drunkard mandatory in the city. But
what was the result2 The death Of this indi-
vidual proved profitable concern 70 the liquor
sellers, and instead Of closing the doors OF the
groggeries, and acting as warning TO those
who go into the gates Of death, drunkenness,
if any thing, rather increases than diminlshes
in this city. But do they sell and drink at the
St. Charles now2 Most certainly. A few
days ago, or rather nights, two men were there,
and got into quarrel One stepped up be-
hind the other, and was about TO plunge
knife into him, when his arm was arrested by
person in the room. A noise was kept up
around and in the Hotel, until almost day by
these rowdies. ..
On Monday afternoon, an officer of the the
U. s. N. after putting away his baggage, and
securing his passage on the Railroad 10 Balll-
more, went into the ST. Charles Hotel and
called for drink. 1t seems that he had had
some previous ground Of complaint against the
bar keeper Of that Hotel After drinking, he
asked the bar keeper TO step aside, IN order
that they might have some conversation. The
stumb Ter washer was little shy, and refused
TO come from behind the 'bulwark Of DEATH
Whereupon, Lieut.. w. jumped over the ram
part, seIzed the trembling tapster by the head,
drew knife, and was in the act OF cutting his
throat, when gentleman present caught his
arm, and wrested the knife from him, and re-
,eived, from the enraged officer, blow which
olackened his eye, for thus int erfering in the
business The Lieut.. Immediately took pas
sage in the cars and was off. The tumbler
washer returned to his work as though no
death was nigh!
And much Of the night was spent in such
doings as would not make it wonderful if 9th
ers are added to the fearful list of those bloody
lessons which are taught SO frequently but in
vain.

A BALTlMokIAN DROWNED. melancholy
accident happened about 10 O'Clock, on Sat
day night, on board the steamer Cumberland,
one Of the Ericsson line between Philadelphia
and Baltimore. AS the boat was coming up
The Elk river, a CRY was raised that a man had
fallen overheard, the small boat was immedi-
ately launched and every effort made to recov-
er him, but without avail; the unfortunate
man had disappeared. II was subsequently
ascertained that the missing passenger was an
elderly man on his way TO visit his son, resid
ing at Port Richmond He had been some
time previous asleep on bench upon the up
per deck, and il is supposed he got up in his
sleep and was preciptated into the water by
stumbling over the railing His name is not
known.
TRIAL OF SpENcER.-Ienth Day.-The de-
fence still pilling on evidence to show that the
prisoners mind has long been in questionable
state, and that for some time previous 10 the
murder he was very much excited by jealousy
and the quarrels with his wife and her family.
A number Of witnesses were examined, all TO
this effect--having known him and remarked
his singular conduct at various times and pla-
ces There appears to have been rather close
intimacy between Mrs. Spencer and the Mr..
Richardson whose name is $, often mentioned,
but no evidence has yet been introduced to
show that his intimacy has been criminal.

THE TEETH, THE GUMS


It has been incontestibly proven, during the last
years that there never was, and il is highly probable
there never will be remedy for the TOOthache dis

iefed TO those who suffer from T0Othaehe, with eve
nv assurance thatit will eectualy relieve of all the
pain in one minute, and yet protect and preserve the
teeth free from all decay, and in the best state of
health, Nor is il any less etcaciOus in curing
ness of the gums, curing softHess of the gums and
etfectuay stopping all bleeding of the gums. For
these il is an immediate and permanent relief,
For all the above complaints Whe6ler's TeabGny
Tooth Wash, in the form iii which il is sold, which
is that of a concentrated essence, is a and de
lightfu remedy-and the proprietor, DESTROYS also
that the teeth and the gums, when they are in per-
feet state should ever afterwards be kept free from
all impurities and perfect in health, gives the drec-
IiOns to every purchaser, which show the proportion
of water in which ii may be diluted, and when ap.
piled generally as wash for preserving the teeth, is
