Mrs. ELIZABETH JoRDoN, of Kent County, Eas-
tern Shore, Nd, afflicted with the dropsy for
3 years. during which time she also suffered very
much from pain in the head and joints. After
trying great many remedies, which were recon-
mended by her friends she made up her mind that
she never could be cured After remaining in this
almost helpless condition for six months, one OF
her friends, who was aware of her intirmity, sent
her copy of the Sun newspaper, with the adver-
tisement of Hance's Pills marked round with ink
for the purpose of calling her attention to it. She
read the advertisement and determined to try them
Accordingly she procuredtwo boxes by the first op-
portunity she had of getting them, and after using
the two she was greatly relieved, and after using
two boxes more, perfectly cured. Her son
called ON the proprietor Of the Pills, and unsolicited
told him of the cure.

to the citizens Of the county generally for their

COMPOUND SYRUP OF HOREHOUND,
~ for the cure of Coughs, Colds, Consumptions,
Bronchitis, Asthma, Splitting of Blood, Pain and
Oppression of the Breast, and all Diseases arising
from disordered condition of the Lungs.
Perhaps there is no medical observation better
established, and none more generally confirmed by
experience of the best physicians of all ages in all
countries, than the fact, that many of the most diff
icult and incurabe Consumptions originate in neg
lected colds In climate SO variable ours,
where the changes of weather are frequently sud-
den and unexpected, it requires more care and at
tenton to guard against this dangerous enemy to
human life, than most persons arc able and willing
to bestow. The bills of mortality exhibit the alarm
ing and melancholy fact that the number of deaths
by this disease as five to one. lnasmuch then
as this fatal disease is increasing, and spreading
widely and fearfully, and bidding defiance often to
the combined skill of the most eminent physicians,
it is qualification to the subscriber to be enabled
to offer to all of consumptve habits those alct-
ed with distressing pains in the side breast, or
any affection of the breast or lungs, reasonable
and almost certain prospect of relief.
The Compound Syrup of Horehound is medi-
cine suitable to persons of all ages and sexes; and
if taken on the appearance of the first symptoms
which are cough or pain in the breast, WILL in
nine cases out of ten, afford relief, and effect
speedy cure

A STRANGE SToRY.-In the course of his
graphic speech of welcome to Col. Doni-
phan and his regiment at St. Louis, Senator
Benton referred, in eloquent terms, to the
novel, extraordinary and romantic "episode''
in the chihuahua expedi'ion-the punish
ment inflicted by Capt. Reid upon the saw
age Camanches, for plundering a people
whom the Americans themselves went to
conquer! Senator B. proceeded to read
Mexican evidence of this remarkable fact.
which he says will astonish Europe, where
the character Of our backwoodsmen is SO
imperfeclly comprehended. That evidence
is an official letter from Jose Ignacio Arrabe,
the Project of the Department of Parras, to
Capt. Reid, (who we beg leave to repeat is
native of Lynchburg, and nephew of the
Rev. S. Reid of that town. This docu-
ment, which is dated on the 18th of May
last, is worthy of special record 1t reads
as follows:
"At the first notice that the barbarians,
after killing many and taking captives, were
returning to their haunts, you generously
and bravely offered, with fifteen Of your
subordnates, to fight them on their crossing
by the Pozo, executing the enterprise with
CELEBRITY, address and bravery worthy of all
eulogy, and worthy of the brilliant issue
which all celebrate. You recovered many
animals and much plundered property; and
eighteen captives were restored to liberty
and to social enjoymen,s, their souls over
flowing with lively sentiments Of Joy and
gratitude, which all the inhabitants of this
town equally breathe, in favor of their gene
rous deiverers and their valiant chief The
half of the Indians killed in the combat, and
those which fly wounded, do not calm the
pain which all feel for the wound which
your excellency received defending christi
ans and civilized beings against the rage and
brutality of savages. All desire the speedy
establishment of your health; and al
though they know that in your own noble
soul will be found the best reward of your
conduct, they desire also to address you the
expression of their gratitude and high esteem.
| am honored in being the organ Of the pub
lie sentiment, and pray you to accept !,
with the assurance of my most distinguish
ed esteem.
God and Libertyn'
As Col. Benton truly remarks, ''this is
trophy of new kind Of war won by thirty
Missourians, and worthy to be held up to
the adWi Of chrislendom'
