The NASHVILLE OUTRAGE.-The last
dates from Nashville represents that JUDI
son, who killed Porterfield and was after
wards seized by the mob, is still alive and
in jail. The Orthopolitan says:
cit is probable Judson will die in his
cell, but if he should not, he will come to as
miserable an end. He will not be permit
ted to leave Nashville alive. If the law does
not hang him, the citizens will kill him
He will die with a notoriety of being shot
proof, for, as near as can be calculated,
some fifteen or twenty shots were made at
him, besides jumping from the third story
at the hotel uninjured, and escaping death
from hanging, by the breaking Of the rope
by which he was suspended He now finds
that the end Of funrestrained passion is deep
ly grievious to be borne"

a written article of agreement, the latter
paying The former the following articles,
generally denominated as sboot:' two dol
lars in cash, three gallons of whiskey, two
pounds of smoking tobacco, one pair Of
shoes, one bell crowned hat such as was
the fashion when Adam was boy, and se-
veral unmentonable trihes. On conclusion
of the agreement the wives changed places,
leaving behind all their moveable effects, in
cluding the children, and established them
selves in their new homes The parties
are in moderate circumstances

it will delay the completion of repairs and
the progress Of the navigation some days.

TIE LOST SISTER FouND-The New Orleans
Picayune of the 10th inst, relates the following
painful incident: sailor saunterng through the
streets of that city, somewhat intoxicated, met
young girl of abandoned character, about sixteen
years of age whom he invited to one of the haunts
of vice. AS they entered the sailor called for liquor
and while at the bar, the girl, dropping her glass,
recognized her own brother! The scene that fol-
lowed, the despair of the brother and sister, and
their lamentations over each others disgrace, can
readily be imagined. policeman found them
weeping in the streets, the brother raviAg violently
and threatening to kill himself and her. They had
separated, eight years before, at the residence of
their parents in New York, the girl being then
pretty little fair haired prang child. In his par
oxysms of grief, the poor sailor thanked Heaven
that he had made the discovery thus early.

Rardine's Lotion.

N cases of Gout, Rheumatism, S,oeiings Of all
Ia hindS Dist0cationS and Fractured Bones, Brui-
ses, Cuts, ContuSions attended with pain and In
hammation, Poisonous BiieS and Stings, Burns
Scakds, ChtALuins, Corns or BunOns and Wounds
Of every description, it affords immediate and per-
manent relief. 1t is, perhaps, the only article that
can be depended upon in the cure of those PANS
in the back and side generally produced by taking
cold after violent exertion and overheating. For
GhnduLr Tumors, LumbagO, Erysipelas, Ietter
or RineDorn, and all kinds of Eruptions Of the
Skin, it is a most excellent remedy. For Feuer and
Ague, Ague in HE Breast and Face, Cramp in the
Stomach, and Headache, it acts like charm But
above ALL in the cure of Tendinous and Capsular
injuries, Sprans, and Wounds OF every description,
it shows in most astonishing manner, its magical
powers.
In addition to the benign influence the Lotion ex-
erts over the infrmtes of man, il has been found
no less valuable in similar complaints to which in
ferior animals are subject particularly the Horse.
In some cases. where it has been applied to this fine
creature for slight injuries, it has, in addition to an
almost instantaneous cure, given apparently new
animation, to such an extent that in various in
stances the winning of race has been tenaciously
ascribed to its stimulating and happy effects.
The Lotion is composed entirely of the medicinal
properties of vegetable substances concentrated and
rendered most pure by distlation and other chemi-
cal processes AS an inward medicine, it is of the
most innocent, wholesome, stimulating and cheer
ing character and will expel, instantly, those dull
heavy and hypochondriacal feelings to which many
are so subject and give life and animation to both
body and mind. VIM. @. FORCE,

the body Of the lamp, producing more perfect
combustion, and keeps the lamp perfectly cool. Il
can be used with open doors and will be less affect
