The following com~mendation is from an agent
residing at Trenton, Tenn.
TRENTON, Gibson County, Tenn,
November Z, l649.
Messrs. Scoril & Mead-Gentlemen. The
Hebrew Plaster is becoming popular in this
section; there is a lady in this county, who
says she would not be without this plaster for
Eve hundred dollars a year. She was afflicted
for some time with an enlargement Of the
Spleen, which gave her a great deal of pain,
the swelling and pain had extended nearly up
to the arm pit, and occasionally she could
scarcely breathe. She was confined for a con-
siderable time, during which she was attended
by some of our best physicians, but they gave
her no relief, she procured a box of the Hebrew
Plaster audit relieved her almost Immediately.
These facts you are at librety to use as you
may think proper-theY are substantially true.
Respectfully yours, &C.,
JESSE j. WELLS.
The applicatioe Of the Plaster between the
shoulders has been found certain remedy for
colds, coughs, phthisic and long affections, in
their primary stages. 1t destroys inhamma-

on the Ohio on his way to New York. Mr.
Fowler was one of the wealthiest of our citi-

in this city, is estimated at more than a million.

property divided.-Deha.

Lost SON Found.

A touching incident took place a few days
since il Baltimore which is worthy of record,
as 4 off in glowing colors the intensity
ofssRsmother's love, and the important results
that may spring from a triaing circumstance
An elderly lady, with two young female
companions. stepped into Whitehurst's Daguer-
reotype Gallery, and for some time examined
the numerous specimens that decorate the walls
Of that elegant establishment, commenting on
their beauty and guessing the names o. many
that they thought they recognized. On the
centre-table were a large number of pictures
and among them that Of a young man about
twenty five years Of age, Of fine manly features.
The old lady happened by chance to open the
case wich contained this picture, when her
eyes became suddenly fixed upon the lifeiess
face, and her features assumed an ashy, DEATH
like appearance.
"Merciful heavens!" exclaimed she, still fas-
tening her gaze on the picture, whilet he tears
Robert-poor Robert!'
The girls eagerly examined the portrait, and
agreed that it was the very image of Robert.
"Sir," said the old lady, addressing Mr.. White,
hurst, show did you come by this picture.-who
20 II tanSu wi WaiSI u O"SaA 1 uoI Seo
him!"
The artist replied 10 all the eager questions
by stating that some weeks previous a young
man called and wished to sit for his daguer-
reotypc, which he intended to send to his moth
or and sisters whom he had not seen for sever
al years. This was a duplicate of the person.
"Nhat was his name!!' anxiously inquired the
Old lady.
81 really do not know replied Mr.. White
hurst, "but | think l can find it out by referring
to my register"
This was quickly done--tire name was found.
It was the son of the old lady, and the brother
of the two girls! He had left his family in Vir-
ginia at the opening of the Mexican war, and
Joined those chivalrous spirits who fought and
bled so bravely for the honor Of our country.
Nothing had been heard of him since the day
of his departure, and the family had all believed
him dead. The joy Of the old lady was bound
less, she kissed the picture over and over, and
offered all she was worth for it. Mr.. White
hurst generously presented it to her, and her
gratitude seemed to know no bounds.
A day or two afterwards she announced to
Mr.. Whitehurst that she had found her son, and
again thanked him for the happiness she now
enj Dyed.
