Remarkable E,nstancc.

It will be recollected that some time since, we noticed a very remarkable case of abdomnablo dropsy, which came under the observation and treatment of Dr. J. B. Henshaw, of Coxackie in this State, the patient at that time having underwent the operation of tapping some forty y-fve times. Strange as it may appear, it is nevertheless fact, that the same patient is still alive, and in very good general health. He has undergone the operation l0s times, the quantity of water taken averaging three gallons at each operation, making an aggregate of 326 gallons, or 2,692 pounds and notwithstanding this he is, at present, able to walk about town and transact his business.-N Y.

.rrriEorriblc M nrsIer.

From the Paulding Clarion, of the 18th inst, we .copyihe following narrative of a dreadful Hage9y sa4
 "lt becomes our painful duty, as the cd itor.of.a public journal, to record one of the most shocking and heart-rending oc- currences. that ever happened in this or anyeother country. On last Wednesday morning, Dr. JAsrEs LoNG CON, JR., of Charlottesville, in this county, and his wife, Mrs. AxN LoNoGoN, and their infant child, some nine months old, were cruelty assas- sihatcd, andhis eldest daughter, aged some three years, so badly initiated that her life is despaircd of. A negro girl, who lived with tho family, first communicated the information of these murders in the ncighborhood, stating that five individuals had como to the house and killed her mas ter, mistress, and their infant child The people residing in the vicinity immediate ly collected together and proceeded to the house, where they found Mrs. LoNccoN lying dead some six yards from her dwell ling, with a gash on her head, which had penetrated the skull and entered the brain! Aabfoad-axe was then discovered lying near the house, covered with blood. The party then proceeded into the house, where they found Dr. LoNGGoN lying on a.bed, with his head entirely discovered from his, body. with two large gashes on his head, both of which had entered the brain. His eldest daughter was found ly- ing close to his side, stranging in his blood, with largo wounds inflicted on her person. She is still living, and some hopes are entertained of her ultimate recovery. The infant child was lying on the same bed, with its face so awlully mutilated that it died in about ten hours after the discoy- cry was made. a aHa
 Col. JAMES F.. WATTS immediately sent ancxprcss to this place for the Coroner and several of our citizens. Mir. BENGE, the Coroner, proce edcd forthwith to Garlands- vile, where he held an inquest according to law, and the result was, that the jury believed, from all the circumstances, that the murders were committed by the negro girl named SEcILLy, before alluded to- She was arrested at once and lodged in jail to await her trial nj the ensuing term oi our Circ,,it Court. The girl belongs to the estate of ARcHELUs WELLS, of Newton county, but was living with the family of Dr. l.. in the capacity of hir- cd servant. Dr. l.. was good, inoflen- aivc man, and his lady amiablc and kind. and universally esteemed.
 It is. generally supposed and believed that the negro girl SEcILLY committed the murders, unparalleled as they arc in blood and atrocity. Her tracks were discover ed,in the blood of her murdered victims, and when arrested the money purse of Dr. Il. was found in her possession. She has told several tales already in reference to the matter, and although there is possi- bility of her having an accomplice or ac- compliccs, the facts of the case, as far as they have been developed, will hardly justify such conclusion. No reason can be assigned, for the commission of these horrible crimes by the negro girl, and par iicularly for the murder of the sleeping in- lant only nine months old.

A GEORGIA HEROINE. seems that Georgia is not only famous for Majors,
 but some of her women arc rare examples of hcroism worthy of the highest con- mendation. The following may be taken as an instance. A few days since, little boy three years old, son of Mir. David Pound of Hancock, accidcntly fell into n we'll upwards of thirty feet deep. His mother, who was near, instantly pulled of her shoes, ran to the well, went down in- to it by means of steps usually cut in the sides of wells, and when the child rose to the top of the water, probably for the last time, caught him and remained in the well until she restored him to his senses. She then made him cling with his arms around her neck, and in that way brought him safely from his perilous situation, and res- cued him from an untimcly dcath.--Ga. Pdper. a.4ff

WIsFARS BALsAM OF

nP" WISTAR'S BALSA OF WILD CHERRY."-The great success attending the use of this Balsam in Pull monary diseases. having naturally attracted the attention of physicians, and others, va. rious opinions and surmises have arisen with regard to iis component narts, some have supposed il 10 contain iodine, others mercury, &c., and to such substances they attribute it's extraordnarv efficacy. Such opinions being entirely erroneous, and cal culated 10 prejudice many persons against. we pledge ourselves that il contains nolhing of the kind, or any thing the least injuri- ous on the contrary, il is com?nsed prin- cipally oi simple substances. The Moss of Iceland, lhe Wild Cherry and Pine of our northern atitudes, are The principal in. gredlents in the compound. The great se- cret of it's efficacy consists in the method by which they are prepared, Such in fact is the nature and simplicity of this medi- cine, so powerful in action, yet so mild, sale and pleasant in ills operation. that 1t might be iu- -tly termed, Natnre's opn prescription" and although but two years have elapsed since it was first made public
 we can proudly say it has acquired ce.e. brity unprecedented by any medicine in
 use, and is evidently destined to become the most popular and valuable medicine ever discovered. I5 See advertisement

Methodist Discipline in Charles


 Dr. Bond gave publicity recently to a rumor that reached him in Philadelphia, on his way to the Baltimore Conference, that ran in this wise. That Bookseller had been arrested in the city Of Charleston, and brought before the Mayor, for crcu- lating an inccndiary publication in the form ofthe Discipline of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and that the Ministers of the Methodist Church, including the Edit ors of the Southern Christian Advocate, had pledged themselves that no more dis ciplinc should be circulated in Charleston. nor in the bounds of any of the missions in the South Carolina Conference. This statement of the Doctor, given upon mere rumor, has gone the rounds of the papers for facts, and has called forth many bitter comments. We have waited patiently to hear from our brethren of the Southern C..
 Advocate. In their paper of the 3lst ut.
 there is timely and spirited rebukc ad-
 ministcred to Dr. Bond. The editors say, that The version of the affair having re- ference to the Mayor of that city, his sum-
