To the friends Of Temperance and the
public generally we now make our appeal
in behalf Of this paper. The publisher
feeling it a matter of importance to the in
terest of the Temperance cause in the Dis
trict, as well as the general interest Of the
cause, and having been, as he conceives,
Providentially placed in situation at this
time when he can mingle this interest with
that of the business men, and thereby rem
der double service to the community, and
still further open a medium Of communica-
ton by which our principles may be ex-
tended far and wide, at cheap rate, he
has purchased printing establishment, SO
as not only to be able to put daily paper
regularly to press, but also a weekly; and
still further, be able to do any other print
ing the public may be pleased to have done;
and he assures them that they shall have
no cause of complaint. He has made ar
rangements by which he can devote his
time to the interest of the Office and the pa
per; and, having employed Mr.. Charles w.
Fenton, who will be always on the spot, to
conduct the printing, he has no doubt but
that general satisfaction will be given. We
shall make arrangements to have the earliest
news; also the proceedings of Congress.
We wish all who are indebted for the pa
per up to this time to pay up, as the affairs
Of the tri-weekly must be closed. They
will perceive that we are about to give
them better paper, double the number, at
the same price. ns,
While the sCoLUMBIAN FOUNTAIN" will
be devoted to the cause of Temperance, its
columns will be enriched by original articles
on subjects calculated to interest, instruct,
and benefit its readers. 1t is intended 80 to
blend variety, amusement, and instruction,
as that the various tastes of its patrons may
be (as far as it is practicable) gratifed.
Commerce, Literature, and Science, and
every other subject of interest, not inconsis-
tent with Temperance and morality, will re-
ceive the earnest attention of the publisher.
Nothing Of sectarian, political, or personal
character will be admitted.

such general satisfaction TO those VINO have used
il and become acquainted with its virtues that i.
now stands re-emnent as Remedy in DIS
EASES Of the LUNGS, and the testimony which
has been given by different persons who have
been cured by it, is altogether voluntary on their
part. They have given it i'll the hope that all who

may apply for it without delay.

Rec Mr.. ShimeaQ, Pastor of St. Judes Episco-

will show his opinion of its virtues.
Dear Sir,-Believing it to be but an act of
common humanity to those suffering under the

bearing my testimony to your invaluable medl-
cine called OlosQ0nlan, or 4U-heal,ng Ba(SGm.
fits efficacy l can speak first from my own ex-
perlence. Being subject from exposure more or
less to the vicsSitudes of climate, frequent
attacks of Influenza, Hoarseness, &C., have al
ways found it to afford almost instantaneous, and
always by perseverance in its use, effectual re-
lief To particular friend of mine, suffering Sc
vereiy under Asthma, and who mad despalred OF
obtaining relief from any human source, upon my
recommendation was induced to give the OloSao-
nan trial, and he pronounced the effect produced
upon him perfect charm, afording him immedi
ale, and almost incredible relief. In another in
stance recommended it to a female friend, far
advanced in Consumption. After the use of the
first bottle, her Cough was entirely removed. and
her appetite and strength restored to such de-
gree as to astonish all who saw her, With long
cherished and firmly established prejudice against
the thousand and one specifics put forth in these
days, as sovereign panaceas for all diseases.
