for long time, by the use of your EApectorant.-
Before she commenced using it, she had become
so weakened and reduced as to be obliged to keep
to her bed, with every appearance of having deep

of her recovery, especially on the night before she
commenced using the Expectorant. Her cough

The Devil in the Penitenfiary.

A serio-ludicrous event took place in IL
linois some four years since, the telling of
which is not yet barred by the statute of
limitations In the counties opposite to St.
Louis, large Dutch settlements have been
formed of late years. These have given to
the cancer of democracy which is eating
away the fair cheek of our older sister, re-
voting appearance and deadly energy
Some of these settlers have carried on
brisk traffic with the citizens Of St. Louis, in
sweet potatoes, cabbage and sour krout, till
they have accumulated large sums of mo-
ney which they deposite in banks of their
own, under puncheon floors or hearth stones.
Some of these people have great fear of the
devil, but how he exists or where, whether
he loves sour krout or muRee their notions
are not very definite. A freebooter in the
city who kept his eye skinned, observed
that an old Dutchman and his wife whose
external appearance indicated the EXTREMIST
poverty, were punctual in their attendance
at market-they never parted with their
money after lhey got it, and were intent on
abstracting all they could from the active
capital of the country and, boarding it at
home. One evening after successful trip
to the city, the two misers Lad retired To
rest as they had right to do. A dreadful
clanking of chains and gnashing of teeth
were heard out of doors--the dog barked
tiercely aud then fled with a mouruful howl.
The door was burst open, demon suddenly
appeared, enyoloped in flame; horns project
cd from his head, his feet were shod with
iron, in a commanding tone he ordered the
Dutchman and his wife to get up and sur
render to the devil.
Fortified with fear, they corld not even
retreat; they had not even the privilege OF
going 10 the priest to have their sins par
doned, matter they had sadly neglected
since they reached America. The old mi
ser thought of his money as soon as he re-
covered self-possession enough to speak
/" MAY be te tevil viii take your monee-vats
all We be worth any how" But the devil
refused, and repeated his command to put
on their clothes; he had no time to wait ansl
a long distance 10 travel before day. "Nel

Important to Parents.

Parents, have you had your children vac
cinated? if not, no longer delay, for we know
not how soon the Small Poo, with all its evil
consequences, may be ushered in amongst
us; and then, when it is too late, we shall
see the folly of putting off the time of vac
cination; this fact has been amply proven to
many of the citizens of Grant county, not
long since. And what guaranty have we that
the small pox may not be spread amongst us
before the present winter closes? for it
travels like the wind. That vaccination is
preventative of small pox, needs no further
proof at this enlightened day. These re-
marks are made from sense of duty in my
professional relation at large; for it is not
only the physicians duty to watch over the
health of the community in which he may
reside, but to warn them of any approaching
danger from abroad, and to point out the
means of avoiding or turning aside such
danger. deem it unnecessary to say more
on this subject; only, all who are DESTROYS to
improve the present opportunity of having
their children vaccinated, can do so by cali
ing on the subscriber in Lancaster.

Lives Lost.

CINcINNATI, Dec. 81.
The steamer 4. \. Johnson, bound from
Cincinnati to Wheeling, with upwards Of
one hundred passengers aboard, burst her
boiler about two O'Clock on "Wednesday
morning, when about ten miles above Mays
vile. One boiler was thrown to the dis
lance of 200 yards from the boat, and the
other upwards of 500. The wreck then
took fire and burnt to the waters edge. Ii
is supposed that about eighty iires tcere
lost! There are some thirty or forty more
who are scalded or otherwise seriously in
jured. The Maysyille packet, Daniel
Boone, went to her assistance, and reno
we'd the survivors to Maysyille, where ev-
cry attention was shown them by the Odd
Fellows, Masons, Sons of Temperance,
and the citizens generally. All tia bag
gage and clothing of the passengers was
lost.
The second engineer, with his dying
breath, declared that there was plenty of
water in the boilers. II is thought they
were defective, having been made of bad
iron.
The boat was insured for SIS, 900. There
were on board twenty-three horses, all of
which were lost.-Gal Gazette
