 The Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry Pills are gradually dissolved in the stomach, and taken up by the lacteal vessels, and distri- buted through every artery and vein, puri- lying each and all in its course, and work ing gently, yet powerfully, it reaches every part of the system, and restores the affected part at once 10 healthy and pure action.-- Through its component parts, SARSA- PARlLLA and WILD CHERRY, it pos sesses the Ukimc Thule of all medicines, the ability to purge and purify, and at the same time strengthen and tone the stomach. Consequently the bowels are never left by 'hem in a weak and disordeled state, as is the case with other pills. and therefore lheir operation is never followed by subse quent costiveness.
 The discovery of the compromising the

 was pol discovered by the Camanche In, dians, nor in the Fejee Islands, but by one of the most talented phy sicians oi London and who received the Medal awarded by the COLLEGE OF PHARMACY Ali PARIS, to all physcia who make val uable discovery in the healing art.
 All ol the common diseases to which the human family are liable are at once eradi. cated by Dr. Le Rows Pills, but il is in those Gases which have been pronounced incurable by physicians, that their great power and efficacy are proved.
 The proprietor has often tried these pills in cases which regular phy ysicians have pro- nouneed incorable, and upon which most of the popular remedies had been tried in vain and he is proud in having the qualification to say that in almost every case it has me, with entire success.

PRESERVING FRUIT.

In The first number Of the Transactions

June, one hundred pears and apples, which
1t is stated not only preserved their beauty,
freshness and favour, but even their per.

VELOCITY OF ELECTRICITY.

The immense velocity ofelectricily makes
il impossible to calculate it by direct OBJ
serv alton; it would require to be many
thousands of leagues long before the result
could be expressed in the fractions of q
second. Yet, Professor Wheatstone, of
London, has devised apparatus for this pur.
pose, among which is double metallic
mirror, to which he has given a velocity Of
eight hundred revolutions in second of
time. The professor calculates, from his
experiments with this apparatus, that the
velocity of electricity through copper
wire one fifteenth of an inch thick, ex.
ceeds the velocity Of light across the plan.
etary spaces, and that it is at least 2ss, 900
miles per second. The professor adds thai
the light of electricity, in a state of great
intensity. does not last the milionih part
of second, but that the eye is capable Of
distinctly perceiving objects which present
themselves for this short space Of time.

HOW SPIDERS MAKE BRIDGES.

Some of the most distinguished natural
lists of the world believe that spiders have
the art of crossing streams of water on
bridges of their own making. Mr. Spen-
Ger relates the following curious fact
Having placed large, full-grown spider
on cane upright in the midst of stream
of water, he saw it descend the cane sew
eral times, and remount, when it arrived
a, the surface of the water. Suddenly
he lost sight of ii wholly; but few min.
utes afterwards, to his great astonishmen,,
he perceived it quietly pursuing its own
way on the other side of The stream. Hav.
ing spun two threads along The cane, it had
cut one of them, which, carried by the
wind, had become attached 10 some object
on the bank. and so served the spider as
bridge to cross The water"

CANADIAN METHOD OF HUNTING
WILD BEES.

The Canadians adopt an ingenious plan
for discovering the trees tina, are slowed
with honey.--They collect q number Of
bees off the flowers in the fores, and con.
fine them in a small box; at the bottom Of
which is piece of honeycomb, and on the
lid is square of glass large enough 10 ad.
NIT the light into every part. When the
bees seem salialed with honey two or three
are allowed TO escape. and the direction in
which they fly is attentively watched, I'M
I'll they become lost in the distance. The
hunter then proceed. towards the spo,
where they disappeared, and liberating one
or two more Of the little cap,ive., he also
marks their course.
This process is repeated until the other
bees, instead of following the same direc.
ton as their predecessors. take the direct
opposite course, by which the hunter is
convinced that he has overshot the object
of his pursuit; for it is known fact, that
if you take bee from flower situated at
any given distance south of the tree TO
which the bee belongs, and carry il in the
closest confinement TO an equal distance on
The north side of the tree, he will, when
liberated, fly in circle for moment, and
then moke his course direct TO his sweet
home, without deviating in the least TO the
right hand or the left. The hunter is now
very soon able 10 detect the tree which
contains the honey by placing on heat

which. when melting, is SO strong and al

found in its excavated trunk seldom fails
to compensate the hunter very amply for
his perseverance,.

GENERAL TAYLOR ABROAD.


One of the strongest arguments used by
the friends of Gen. Taylor during the can.
vass in favor of his election was, that if
successful he would command the respec,
and confidence not only of bis own but all
other nations, and prove the link by which
our amicable relations with other nations
would be maintained and perpetuaied upon
the stric,es. principles of justice and hon.
or. Peace upon permanent and honora.
bic basis, was the goal thai, the vast body of
refecling and well.dsposed men of all par
ties desired; that result, however, they
well knew would never be attained if
Cass triumphed. To show that The sup
porters Of Gen. Taylor did not err in the
estimate they placed upon the advantages
the nation would reap by his election, we
refer with pride and qualification 10 the
following well deserved tribute TO his great
worth taken from a late number of The
London Examiner, one Of the ablest and
most influential journals in the British EN-.
pire. Who can read it and not feel the
strongest emotions of national pride al the
success of such President elect?
"The nomination of Gen. Taylor, and
the course of his relations with the party
of which he is now the declared represen.
tative, indicate better prospects in the re-
publican horizon than have been visible
for many years. 1t is yet possible that we
may see "discretion, moderation, and in.
tegrity," prevail in the choice Of chief
magistrate of America. Gen. Taylor is
not trading politician. The qualities he
lately displayed in the field, and the judg-
ment with which he kept himself aloof
from the extreme party that had obtained
his services as soldier, concentrated pub.
lie attention and esteem upon him. lie is
The only man, we believe, since the greater
race of American Presidents, who has oil
once united many parties. By Democrats
and Wings. in primary assemblies, in sepa.
rate and mixed meetings, he seems to have
been nominated. These nominations he
appears to have accepted. one after the 9TH
or, without concealng or suppressing the
fact that he held the opinions of the Wings;
and now that the Wings as body, have
named him their candidate, he frankly tells
them that he will not be party President.
We have here the promise of brave and
honorable man, uncontaminated with par.
~ madness.
A letter just published by Gen. Taylor TO
correct some misconceptions that had gone
abroad concerning him, confirms our i'm
preston of his worth. There is nothing
in the letter that indicates genius or imag.
native impulses but it is marked by strong
sense and excellent feeling Its writer IN.
dersiands and discrminates the position
and duties of the chief magistrate of a
great republic. He can combine the hon.
est mainter ance of his own opinions with
