HARLEM SPRINGS.

THE public are hereby respectfully informed that
the subscriber has now completed his buildings,
and erected his baths at the mineral springs at Har
lem, for the accommodation Of invJlids, or such as
labor under all forms of chronic diseases. He deems
it unnecessary at this time, to go into detailed de-
scription Of the ana,ical properties of the water
Of these springs. Suffice it TO say that they are de-
signed by the Great disposer OF all things, for the
healing Of mankind. He combines the regular sci
ence Of medicine with the mineral virtues Of these
springs, in his course of treating diseases, to as ma
nv as choose to call on him. The well known ef-
fec,s of bathing in all forms OF diseases, can here
be fully realized. The hydropathic bath not excep-
ted, Invalids or those laborng under chronic dis
eases, such as scroua, rheumatism, dyspepsia, &c.
will find 1t to their great advantage to visit these
springs and apply the restOratatiyes there offered

FIRE.

On Tuesday morning last, between the hours
Of one and two O'Clock, the frame building be-
longing to Mr. Geo. T. Parker, the front room
of which was occupied by him as a store room,
was discovered to be on fire, and in short time
the whole building, together with one story
frame, Immediately in the rear of his dwelling,
was entirely consumed. When discovered the
flames were bursting out of the roof near the
comb at the east end; but before our citizens
couldbo aroused and the Engine broughtto bear,
the fire had progressed far as to render it inn
possible TO save the building. All efforts were
consequently directed, and with entire success, TO
save the adjoining buildings. The brick dwell
ling of Mr.. Parker was separated from the store
bv an alley not more than two feet wide, porch
some eight or ten feet wide extended TO the frame
building in the rear of the house, and yet the
house, and even the porch, there in the midst Of
the fire remained unscathed.
The dwelling of Mr.. Doll, altough in inmi-
nent danger, was, also, uninjured.
portion of the goods in the store room was
saved, but the Books and Accounts, together
with about three hunded dollars in money, were
consumed. His loss is to some extent covered
by insurance.
Our citizens made use of every exertion, to
stay the raging element. The engine was piled
with great skill and industry, and did good SER
vice. Too much praise cannot be bestowed
upon the Ladies. They aided most efficiently
during the whole progress of the fire. Indeed a
part of the time, the line formed TO convey the
water to the Engine was composed principally of
females.
Nothingbut the unliring industry ofall present,
men women, and children, could have saved
from destruction, the whole row, from the burnt
building to Lisbon street.

BRANDRETH'S PILLS.

COMNUNCATIOy.-Ilha has taken three centuries TO de.
velop the powers contained in the herbs which
compose the Brandreth Pills, These celebrated
Vegetable Pills for one hundred years have been
made as they are now made. The American pub
| lie have found them deserserving Of patronage,
and it has been, and is literally bestowed upon this
medicine. Now, however no sooner is a new ad-
vertiscment written hy the Doctor, but it is at once
cut out Of the paper, and "BraGdfelh" taken ont
Jnd "Indian" or some other name substituted nd-
cative OF some other medicine, and claiming some
ltrary thief iot its parent. Nearly all the Pills al
present before the public, are made by men who
for years lived by counterleitng the Brandreth Pills
and have only taken to the present speculation,
since DR.. Brandreth compelled them TO abandon
THAT method Oi jeopardizing the lvs5 Of their Tel.
| citizens The analysis of all these pretended
vegetable medicines, show a very large proportion
Of Crude Anthony in their composition, and it ap-
pears they rely entirely upon this mineral poison
for the purgauve effect. 1t is very easy matter
10 detect mineral in pills of any kind
! How TO DETECT MINERAL IN PILLs.-Take pill
supposed to contain mineral, place II on shovel
over a red clear fre--t there is mineral in it, il
will turn red hot, and, if the proportion be large,
it will not lose its shape. 1t is thus with the Indi-
an Pills, and many others before The public. The
advantage OF these pills in case OF war would be
very great, as they not oEly retain their shape but
TeindH Ieu Hot long te aver lhty are taken rom
the fire. Even boiling them with sugar will not
change their shape abit,-you cannot hurt the shape
of these pills. 1t would be we'll if they were as
harmless to those who use them. The fact is that
repeated doses of anlimony very injurious, ma.
king the patient exceedingly subject to St. Vtus'
Dance and Epilepsy. Probably very litle of these
pills are sold, so the injury is not so great. have
also tried the Brandreh Pills by the same, and 9TH
er methods, and find them purely vegetable. When
tried by the e they change to tarbonacious mass,
after giving off great quantity OF flame. The one
may be considered the medicine of Life the other,
fre-proof pill, or messenger Of Death. This CON-
munication, il is hoped, will cause those persons
who are agents for these new untried pretented
remedies, to make the ahOve experiments upon
them, and if they sell them after not to forget to
label them poison. - Courier aud Enquirer.

THE ELECTION,

We publish in another column the result of the
the time ourpOper wasputtOprcss. The returns,
although incomplete, satisfy us that William Bebb
is elected Governor by a majority ranging be-
tween 1900 and 2, 2,5OO-that the Wings will have
amajority on joint ballot in the Legislature, and,
we think a majority of the Congressional delega-
ton from Ohio. The result may be summed up
thus: congressman, 10 Wings, Locolocos, 6
districts to hear from; Senate, 10 Wings, II Lo-
cofocos, district to hear from; Representatives,
35 Wings, 80 Locofocos, districts TO hear FROM
POSTCRIPT.-Since the above was in type
we have received the "Iluron Reflector" which
SAYS the Locos have elected q Senator and Rep
resentative in the IIancockdis TheSenate,
therefore, will stand, 10 Wings, 10 Locos; the
House, probably, 81 Wings; 35 Locos
The vote through the State is SMALL owing to
the inclemoncy of the weather. In many coun-
ties the Wings have acquitted themselves nobly,
adorned themselves with unGading laurols, and
placed themselves upon the summit ofthat pyra-
mid whose foundation is correct principles. From
their elevated position they view, with feelings of
commiseraton their less fortunate brethren in
other sections of the State; they regret their de-
feat; but treat with contempt the ercuse offered
for that defeat. They wish it to be understood
that they are no fair reather patriOts-that tho
the heavens frown and the rain pours down in tor
rents, they are patriots still-lhat they will not
permit their opponents TO steal into power while
they arcslecpng ngupontheir posts. In short, they
entered the contcstEkemen;-they fought it inch
by inch like men, and they succeeded like men.
Wing of Carroll and Jefferson! You arc citi-
zens Of counties the Locofoco wrc-workes order
ed their co-workers in iniquity to carry, by any
means, fair or foul; which Instructions were car
ricd into effect to the letler,-you spurned their
false professions Of fricndship-rallicd at your
posts-fought the battle nobIy-won the day go-
riousIy, and saved the Legislature. To you arc
howhigs Of O.. indebted forthcirprescnt triumph;
to you they accord the honor; to you they return
thanks for saving them from the spoilers grasp.

COLUMBIANA COUNTY.

From the complexion of the returns from the
estate of Columbiana' we areinclinedto believe
that their Governor failed to issue his proclama-
ton, and that the citizens of that Commonwealth
were not aware that an important election was to
held on the 18th inst. In no other way can we
account for the result. Columbiana now stands
"alone in her glory" and as the "good people" of
that estate" are perfectly thunderstruck at the
idea of ansalgamatiOn, we move that the-n Le-
gislaturc remove Coumbiana to the side of Ham
ilton or Richland! Pure, unadultcratcd Locofo-
coism should not be contaminated by Whiggery
without the consent of all concerned!

A SENATOR HEADING A MoB.-The Crawford
vile Qa.) Press of the 2dinst. containsthe parc-
ulars or riot at Attica, on the Wabash and Erie
Canal, in which Mr.. IIannegan, of the L. S. Sc
nate figured conspicuousy. The Honorable
gentleman knocked down young man by the
name of Mcdonald into the canal and noOred
another who was attempting to drag the half
drowned man from the water. This second man
was stabbed in the melee, though he is expected
to recover. The quarrel was between the people
Of Attica & Covington. The Press says:
"The difficulty will be better understood by our
readers at a distance, when they are informed
that since the completion ofth Canal to Coving-
ton, no freight boat has ever been enabled to de-
scend as low as that point, on account of the in
adequate supply of water-the canal absorbing it
as rapidly. almost, as it is letin. This has very
much aggravated the Covingon folks, who have
been led 10 adopt the ccnsurable course just de-
scribed, to redress their grievances"

THE NEMS FROM TnE ARMY.

we devote large space Of lo-day's paper lc
The important news from our army. Ii will b.
seen that the forces Of Gen. Worth and Gen.
Taylor on the morning Of the 9ls uIt., attacked
the city Of Monterey from different quarters, and
that, after three days fghung--lhan which none
more desperate, or iicrcely contested, graces the
Pagcsof American nhisory-lhey so far succeeded
in capturing the city, thai the Mexcans, deeming
further resistance entirely useless, agreed to cap
liulaie and surrender the city on as favorable
terms as practicable. The American forces at
the slorming Of Monterey amounted to G,OOO
men-lhose Of the Mcxicans to about 1900
The Mcxicans had possession of the city, the
nights of which are a strong fouifcation within
themselves. On the acquisition of those nights
depended the success or defeat Of the American
army. In the face of a deadly fire our intrepid
army ascended the nights, step by step-no fall
torlng-no quyering-no hesitation marked their
progress. Firm, united and unconquerable, they
gained the nights; took the batteries of the ene-
my and rnedthcrfre against themselves; drove
them from house to house until they reached the
centre of the city, when the Mexicans acceded to
conditional surrender. The loss of the Amer
leans is computed at 500; that of the Iexcans at
about the same. This is a severe loss; but ia.
king into consideration the time engaged-the
desperation of the struggle, and the advantages
in favor of the Mexicans, is not surprising.S
This is said to be a "gorious victory and so
1t is, if glorious victory can be achieved in an
inglorous war. The officers and men did their
duty nobly, and deserve lasting credit. To them
we say, "Well done, good and faithful servants"
but to the President and his satellites who caused
this unnecessary cfIilsion of blood, we say, be-
ware! The "sober second thought" of an insul-
ted constituency is, ave were strangers, and yc
took as in!"

A CARD.-Mr. & Mrs. Parker hereby tend.
er their most grateful thanks to the citizens of
COrrollton, and few strangers present, for their
energetic excrions in saving their property from
the devourng flames on Monday night last.
The loss they sustained is heavy pecuniary ca
amity, yet it must have been much greater, had
it not been for the unsurpassed cxerlions of their
fellow cilizens under the smiles of benign Pro-
yidoncc. The young and old, and ESPECIALLY the
ladies, will accept their grateful thanks; and they
hope TO be able to prove by their conduct that
they speak as they feel.

In the reduction of glandular swengs, torpidty of

diseases with which humanity are afflicted and at the

The Constitutional Convention of this embryo
State assembled at Madison on Monday the 9Th

was chosen on the fourth ballot.
The candidates, we believe, are all Locofocos,

ful speech in favor of James R. Vineyard, when
on trial for the murder of C.. c. P. Arndt, which
was so graphically described by correspondent
of The Tribune. By the way, Vineyard is

THE LEGISLATURE.
The House Of Representatives, says the U. s..
Gazette, consists of one hundred members, of
whom last year the Wings had 33, and the Locos
II.
As far as heard from the Wings have elected
hirty six members, gaining fourteen members;
md the Locos have elected twenty, with no
gain.
There were eleven Senators to be elected,
light of whom are LocOfocos and three Wings.
The Wings are all elected, (if we count Mr..
Harris in Centre disrict,) and in the eight Loco
oco districts the Wings have elected four. This
would leave the Senate eighteen Wings, one Ma
i've, and fourteen Locos for the coming year.
