EXTRAORDINARILY.
Cure of Body and Mind.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 9th, IS4,


DR.. ID. Jayne,-Dear Sir:-Justice compels
me to make the following statement of the extra
ordinary effects of your valuable nedicine-the
Alternative.
certify that my wife was afflicted for fourteen
years, during which time her disease bailled the
skill of several eanInest Physicians, and after
finding that every means THAI were used failed TO
relieve her, concluded 10 place her in the Penn
sylvana Hospital. hoping that the care and treat
ment she would there receive from the Physicians
in that institution, she might again be restored to
health. Bun to my great disappointment, she
grew worse, and became entirely deranged in her
mind, and was obliged to take her home again
90 incurabe'' and beref of reason. / will here
mention that at this time the more prominent
symptoms Of her disease were Dyspepsia and
Liver Complaint, attended with sickness of the
stomach, and vomiting Of very offensive fntid
mucus, pains in her head, back and stomach, and
in the region of the heart with violent attacks of
Cole, troublesome cough from large quantities
of phlegm in her throat, which kept her contin-
ualy gagging and retching to throw it up. She
had no appetite, and was very weak. She also
suffered very much from utel 'ne disease by
which she was confined to her b, 4. Add to all
the above, the deranged state of hen mind, (Which
at this time was truly awful, y and you will be
able to form some idea Of her affections.
BY the advice of friend we commenced Civ
ing her your Alternative, in the doses Of tea
spoonful three times day, and found that it
helped her. We also gave your Nermifuge TO
increase her appetite, and the Sanative Pills to
regulate her bowels. She had not taken two bot
ties of the Alternative, before it operated upon her
in a, wonderful manner, filling her face with small
red pimples, and caused her TO expectorate large
quantities of corruption, before which, her breath
was so offensive we could not remain in the room
with her unless the doors were open. Finding the
Alternative doing her so much good, we increased
the dose according TO the directions, and she con-
timed to improve daily, until finally she was re-
stored to health, in body as well as in mind.
| hope YOU will delay no time in having this be-
fore the public. as | am willing to be qualaied at
any time TO the truth Of the above statement, and
that IT was your Alternative which cured her.

Federal Tactics.

Our political opponents, being batiled in
their attempts TO gain the ascendency in our
county by fair means, are determined TO try
what can be accomplished by sectional dis
sensions, Taking advantage of local
jealousy, they intend TO make up AN issue,
between the two sides of the county
The questions Of dirisioa has been greatly
fomented ,cith this express purpose. There
are Fcderalists who have been retained on
purpose to log-roll division bill through
the Legislature, who feel infinitely more in-
ierrsted in getting Federal Senator elected
from old Grant, than in getting the county
divided. There are Wings 1--WE hope but
few ia certain quarter of the county, who
have Suffered themselves TO be fabricated by
willy Federalism, and are prepared TO be
swallowed, neck and heels, at the next elec-
ton. To those who can 50 far forget the
grea, political principles which they profess,
and the immeasurahly more important in
terests involved in the asccndency OF Wing
men and measures, than in any palIH ques-
ton Of the place in the county where courts
are to be holden, il may be useless To adj
dress single wori of admonition.
There is, 10 reality, no cause whatever
for the slightest local jealousy or dis-union
amongst the Wings Of Grant, at the mex,
election. On the question of division of
the county, men may 90 for or against d.
vision, at the polls, and ,rill do so, without
reference TO party considerations. But what

space of eight days. She was ten DAYS TO
Anglers, thirty-nine thence to the Cape of
Good Hope, and thirty-seven thence to New
York. ~
We are indebted to Captain Griswold for
his attentions
The intelligence is of very deplorable
character There are bloody indications of
another war between England and China.
The Chinese had butchered in the most
shocking and cruel manner six Englshmen,
who had gone a short distance into the in
terror.
Sir John Davis, the Governor of Hong
Kong, had arrived at Canton, and demand
ed from the Chinese government the fullest
redress for the outrages committed; but no
satisfaction having been received, a consul
tation of the officers was held, and they had
partly concluded to blockade Canton. The
force, however, was not sufficient.
The murders were committed on the 9Th
of December, ON the opposite side of the
river. When captured, two were murder
ed on the spot, and four put to death short
ly after.
The British steamers were ordered to
proceed as far up the river as practicable,
in order that the may be in readiness to
blockade as soon as determined upon.
