Mr. ELLEr, the well known wire bridge builder,
proposes to equaze the height OF water in our wcs-
tern rivers, so as to render them navigable at all
seasons, except winter. He proposes to erect i'm.
mense reservoirs and fill them during the seasons
OF high water. When the waters recede, the rivers
are to be fed by these to give vol
ume OF water sufficient to make the rivers naviga-
bic for steamboats, Of the usual size. We hope that
government will take his proposition into serious
consideration. II it succeeds, navigation would
not only be equalized, but the damage occasioned
by overnows might be prevented.

Sudden Changes.-There is nothing more
trying to the human constitution than sudden
changes of weather. Heat rari6es the blood, and
increases the perspiration; but when suddenly
checked. those humors which should pass off by
the skin, are thrown off inwardly, causing coughs,
colds, consumption, difficulty of breathing watery
and infamed eyes, sore throat, and many other
complaints.
W1ighfs Indian Vegetable Pills are delight
full medicine for carrying offa cold-because they
expel from the body those humors which are the
cause Of the above complaints Four or five of
said Indian Vegetable Pills taken every night on
going to bed will, in few days. carry off the
most obstinate cold; ct the same time the diges-
tive organs will be restored to healthy tone, and
new life and vgor will be given to the whole frame.
Beware of Counterfeits of all kinds. Some
are coated with sugar; others made to resem-
Die in outward appearance the original medicine.
The safest course is, to purchase of the regular
agents only.

and planters at the Philadelphia prices.

wing sour and tainted The market must be
quoted about Is lower, although the consump-
ton is extremely large, and almost equal TO
the steady supply, yet the very low prices OF
fresh beef, butter, and refined lard, operates
most seriously on the value of bacon, and the
dealers will not buy beyond their immediate
wants The market at present is steady al

Pork.-There is a fair steady inquiry fol-
Pork almost equal TO our imports, and conse.
quently Our prices remain without any altera-

demand.
Lard-We continue to have fair stead
supply, and althoug n the consumption is large

approach of the arrivals of new, has shaken
confidence in the late advance, and for some
days past the market has been very dull, and
