REWARD OFFERED FOR DR.. PARKMAN.-A
dispatch from Boston, says that DR.. Parkman,
whose mysterious absence from his family has
caused much anxiety, has not been heard Of 1t is
feared that he has been murdered. Robt. G. Shaw,
the Doctors brother-in-law, has offered reward Of
three thousand dollars for his recovery. The Her
aid says -
He was a man Of great wealth, owning tene-
ments IN nearly every section Of the city, many Of
them occupied by the poorest class of citizens,
the rent Of which he was in the habit Of collecting
weekly. He was never in the habit ofleaving home
without appointing the time of his RETURN and was
ever punctual in his appointments.
The Journal says "The city marshal and police,
together with Others have made every effort in their
power to gain intelligence from him. The latest
information concerning the matter, upon which any
reliance can be placed is, that about half-past l
o'clock on Friday afternoon, Dr. Parkman received
from Professor Webster OF Cambridge, $3.50, the
amount Of mortgage he held, and the Doctor said
he would go to Cambridge and cancel said mort
gage. This occurred at the medical college in
North Grove street. About o'clock the same af-
ternoon, he was seen in Bridge street. and at later
hour, Che very last heard of hm) he passed over
CEgie's Bridge, in company with a shabbily
dressed man. A ruElor that he was seen on his
way to Salem, has been ascertained to be without
foundation
The Courier says: That the supposition Of
those who know him best is, that he is laboring
under some alteration Of the mind, and that he is
wandering through the woods in some adjacent
town. We understand that he has been occasion
Ollyaheeted with slight mental arrangement during
which II has been his custom to seek seclusion.n

HoRRIBLE MURDER.-The fate of Mr.. Robert
Beverly, OF Sunhower county, Miss, whose mys-
FERROUS disappearance has been mentioned is now
fully ascertained. His body has been found in the
Talahatchie river, one of the branches of the va
zoo, which he resided. He was fully dressed
and his gun was found with him, as though he had
been accidentally drowned but it has been since
ascertained that lie was murdered by his own ne
groes on the night Of the nth November. Seven
of them entered his room, while he was asleep, and
strangled him to death. In the struggle, one of
his eyes was gouged out. They then dressed the
body carefully in his own coat and boots and threw
it into the river. It lay until the next Friday Cthe
22d ult), when the neighbors discovered and bu-
ried it. We have not learned what gave direction
10 the suspicion, but the seven negroes were ar
rested and are in confinement. One of them was
Mr. .Beverlcys body-servant. They have fully
confessed the crime and will doubtless suffer death
Mr.. Beverley was much esteemed gentleman,
formerly of Greene county, Ala, where he has
numerous kinsmen and friends.

Far from it. 1t is the glory of our ancestors that
they never submitted to tyranny-that they never
tamely permitted the "contumely of the proud or
the arrogance of the supercious." They always
knew their rights; they always asserted and gene
rally maintained them. Submission to arbitrary

Americans. May their future always be worthy

greater revolutions than any other man that was
ever eofi.s - published IN the Philadelphia Ga
zette Of April 20, 1888. There are good many
Edward Drinkers now-a-days. The sketch is as
follows.
" Edward Drinker was born in cottage. In 1850
on the spot where the city of PHILADELPHIA nov,
stands, which was inhabited at the time Of his birth
by Indians and few Swedes and Hollaaders He
often talked Of picking backberries and catching

We're accommodated their arrival The life Of
thls aged citizen is marked with circumstance
which never beel any other individual; for he saw
gree1el events than any other man, at least since
the fatrlarchs. He saw the same spot Of earth in
the course OF his own life covered vith wood and
bushes, the receptaces Of wild beasts and birds Of
prey, afterwards become the seat of a Great ,ifv

Their fsh rom the river and that river afterwards

youth had nothing bigger than an Indian canoe
and on the spot where he had gathered huckleberr1
he saw their magnificent city hall erected, and that
Hall hlled with legislators astonishing the world
with their wisdom and virtue. Healso saw the frst
treaty ratified between the United Powers Of Amer
lea and the most powerful Prince of Europe. with
all the tormality Of parchment and seals and on the
same spot where he once saw Vim. Penn ratify his
first and last treaty with the Indians And "a cor
clude, he saw the beginning and the end Of he
British Empire IN Pennsylvania. He had been the
subject of many crowned heads; but when he heard
OF the many oppressive and unconstitutional acts
passed in Britain, he bought them all and gave
them to his great grandsons to make kites Of; and

country in his withered arms and triumphing in

country, he died the 18th Of November, 1852,

INFLUENCE OF ELECrRIcITy on THE HUMAN
BoDY-A friend has handed to the Baltimore Clip
per the following interesting article
DR.. Pallas, physican-in-ehief to the French
troops, at the Military Hospital at Oran, has pub
lshed volume OF $50 pages on the Influence of
ELECTRICITY on the Human Body, and on the effect
OF electric isolation a curative application in
many diseases. He is convinced that the great
electric currents which exist either in the atmos-
phere or on the earth, take an active part in the
production Of diseases in general and especially in
those Of hot climates; and that by modifying the
activity OF these currents which are always pene-
ratng the human body, 1t will be possible to dmn-
ISL, if not actually to destroy, the causes Of the
endemo-epdemic diseases Of Algeria. Satisfied
that his theory is correct he made the following
trials He had two beds constructed, whose leg5s
rested on glass nearly foot in thickness, so that
they were completely insulated In reference to the
ground. To one Of the bed-posts a chain was at
tached, with glass hadde at the free extremity. so
that the bed might be completely insulated or
placed IN communication with the ground at will.
The first trial of the effects Of insulation was in IN,
case OF two pa ents suffering very severely from an
aggravated form Of dysentery. They were removed
to these beds at noon. and in three hours time there
was a marked amelioTation Of their symptoms
One Of them improved so rapidly-from the lime h.,
was insulated that in i've days he was in state Of
convalescence. The other patient recovered fro1,
the period Of his insulation but not so rapidlv IL
Is worthy OF remark that the pulse became slower
from the moment OF insulation. Many other cases,
OF different diseases are detailed in which benefit
seems to have accrued from this mode of practice

ADVERTISING LoTTERIEs-A bill has been
introduced into the Tennessee Legislature, repeal
ing the law which prohibits newspapers from pub
fishing the advertisements of lotteries. The Nash.
vile Union, in commenting on the law which it is
proposed TO repeal, says:
It is q most senseless and foolish enactment, and
should never have been placed upon our statute
books. We might just as well prohibit the circu-
latiOn of newspapers from other States containing
these advertisements, and in order to be consistent
we should do it. In many of the States lotteries
are Authorized by law, and the advertisements are
published in almost every State in The Union. We
do not advocate the establishment ofloueres here;
far from il. But we do think should be per-
mtted to advertise for them if they choose to nay
US for the Of our columns. The repeal of the
law will bring hundreds and perhaps thousands Of
dollars into the State annually in the shape OF ray
ment for advertisements. We cannot prevent the
knowledge Of the existence Of lotteries, because
papers from other States containing them are freely
circulated and while this is the fact there is no
good reason for the existence of the present law
There is a law in Louisiana prohibiting lottery
advertisements and it might be well for our legis
latOEs to consider the foregoing arguments,
