APPROACH OF THE CnoLERA.-H Hgeddy
in PdriS.--From the accounts by the
steamer Herman, il would appear as if the
c!olers, which has been making such raw
ages in the north of Europe, has at length
reached paris. Several cases had appear
ed, which are said to have all the symp-
toms of the Asiatic Cholera, but in mild
shape. A medical gentleman says that
he had two cases of what he calls cholera
asyphgria. and that in both cases the pa
tients are likely TO recover.
The cholera had also appeard at Trieste,
but had greatly diminished at ST. Peters
burg. On the morning Of the I'd there
were three hundred and eighty cholera
patients under treatment. At Moscow,
on the 25th ultimo, there twenty five new
cases and sixteen deaths; and on the 26th
there were twenty-five new cases, but
only eleven deaths. In the other prosin-
ces of Russia afflicted with this disease,
II is making great ravages in some OF
them as many as between five and six
thousand persons are carried Off by ii
weekly RoH. Ssn.

ANEof the most remarkable instances
" OF the success which attends well ap-
piled energy and perseverance, is exhibit
ed in the case Of DR. DAVID JAYNE, of
Phiad elphia, with whose advertisements
the readers of the Register are familiar
The Doctor, after spending many years of
his lTfe in practice, and acaretul investga-
ton of the origin and ch racter of dis
eases, applied himself to the preparation
Of remedies, ,and theieXcellence of his COM
pounds is attested by the grateful thanks Of
thousands, who have proved the benefits
Of his skill and scientific knowledge: His
are not mere quack nostrums, but prepara-
ions resulting from long and careful sta
dy, and as they serve, in an eminent de-
gree, the good purposes for which they
were intended, success has followed the
proprietor's enterprise and labors. His es.
lablishment is now one of the largest in
the United States, and besides furnishing
every city, town, and township in the
country with his invaluable rene dies, he
ships annually, immense quantities to fo-
reign lands.
In the prosecution Of his plans for bring
ing his specifics to the notice Of the whole
people, DIR. JAYNE has issued Family
Almanac, containing certificates and tes-
timouials OF the highest character. We
Sc it stated in the Germantown Telegraph
that ''last year one million of the Alma-
macs were published for 1913, and all dis
tributed.. This year, the demand for | $40,
is so great, that two power presses, driven
by steam, are running day and night, with
a double set of hands, and are unable TO
meet the demands of the public for the Al-
manacs. Indeed, Messrs. Stavely & Nc
Gala, who do the press-work, have found
it necessary, to meet thewants of the pub
Usher, to obtain third poper piesd Tico
millions and hag copies will be required
for IS49, consuming from twelve to fifteen
thousand reams of paper, and incurring an
expense, at the very small rate of two
cents each copy, and we cannot see how
they can be furnished at so low price
OF flu hOalSand doltlgsf This is wonder
ful, exhibiting, as it does, one of the most
remarkable instances Of enterprise ON re-
cord.
But it must be remembered that this
large sum, which is fortune of itself, is
entirely given away--the whole two mil
lions and half of Almanacs are gratui-
tously given to merchants, storekeepers,
families and individuals, with view to
their general gratuitous distribution thro'-
out the United States.
The position Of DIR. JAYNE is an envia-
BILE one achieved by his own unaided en-
ergy, industry and MISUNDERSTANDING
largely from an extensive knowledge OF
medical jurisprudence-an he now stands
at the head OF the discoveries of medicines
for ''the mill'on," which have not only
been pronounced to be unequalled as rem
edies, for the diseases severally set apart
by the proprietor, &C., but ,rstined to
confer upon the human family lncalcula-

The Season Of Ferer and Ague.-- At this
season of the year thousands fall victims to

and perhaps none is SO easily controlled and

used. Science and experience have led 10

thoroughly cured. Sufferer! are you de-
sirous to become acquainted with this re

Stampede Frustrated. We learn That a
bou forty negroes had made arrangements
to leave their masters in Woodiord county
on Saturday night last, but the plot was
discovered just in time TO defeat lis exeeu-
ton. The negroes all had free passes. =
According to the plan Of operations, each
vas to steal a horse and cross the Ohio
river before day. They were betrayed by
a negro to whom the plot was disclosed,
and who was requestedto join in it. The
negroes stated that two or three white
men who had been in the neighborhood
some days, furnished them free passes. =
These men got an inimation of the dis
