snAKER sARsAPA

That can be substantiatsd BY thousands Of
living witnesses in this city and country, viz
that the
SHAKER SARSAPARILLA,
As prepared BY pr. S d. Howe, has been the
means Of permanently curing more diseases
to which the human family are continually
subject, than any other preparation Of Sarsa-
Parilla ever yet brought before The public.
The purity and efficacy Of the Shaker prepa-
ration is well known, and requires no long list
Of certificates and cures to introduce it; its
increased demand for the past twelve years, is
its best Recommendation.
This medicine has established its high repu-
tation throughout New York and New Hamp-
shire, and the Eastern States generally, BY its
numerous and well attested cures; and also by
the Recommendation and approval Of the first
physicians, who now use 1t in their private
practice.
1t is the only Sarsaparilia that acts on the
Liver, Kidneys and Blood at the same time.
which renders il altogether more valuable to
every one, particularly Females.
DR.. Mussey, Professor in the Ohio Medical
College, says the Shaker preparations are truly
valuable, and recommends them to the public.
No Mereury-no Mineral-no Poisonous
Drugs in the Shaker Sarsaparilla-
a REMEMBER,
Il IS ,Oarranted to Be purely and
ENTIRELY VEGETABLE,
And as Female and Family medicine it has
no equal.
Be sure you inquire for DR.. s d. Howe's
ShaGer Sarsaparills, and take no other.

From AIr. Lawrezce.


Our Minister in London thus
writes to friend in New York:
: la LONDON, Dec. 81, 1850.
So . Something must be
done to arrest the Importations from
foreign nations which so far exceeds
our Exports. We have now in Eu-
rope an hundred and fifty millions Of
dollars of United States, State, City.
and Corporation bonds, which have
been sold to pay the balance Of trade
against us-in other words for the
products Of foreign labor to the det-
riment Of our own. Our exports
should balance our Imports, and 10
that extent am willing to go-and
not further. II is not creditable 10
our great country to borrow large
sums of money OF our rivals, for the
purpose of obtaining such articles Of
luxury or necessity as should be pro-
duced at home. We are recklessly
squandering our magnificent resour-
ces. When will our people learn
wisdomi Believe me, dear sir, most
faithfully, s-s.sq - aer
Your friend and obedient servant,

This, however, is a mere tempest in

from which the Republican cause

Second Adventisn.

a Second Advent Convention was recently
held in New York city, which continued in
session three or four days, and adjourned sine
die, wi.hou. coming to any very remarkable
conclusion. The Express says the brethren had
good deal of wrangling among themselves,
and adds
They do not want to be called Milerites, in
consequence Of the prejudice against that now
deiunct prophet, who originated the sect. Some
OF the brethren, however, openly avow them
selves Milleritcs, in name as well as doctrine,
and say tina, tho only mistake Mr.. Miller made
was in putting the time too close at hand. Or
the first day, one of the prophets, Mr.. Reed
made long speech upon Tie 2,300 days, and
avowed that he was ready, with positive proofs
10 convince the brethren that Christi would come
before the Odd dry Of July next. II appears
from The proceedings Of subsequent meeting
that the members Of the convention were moi
entirely satisfied with his proofs, and kicked a,
the idea Of fixing another day, especially ST
soon, after so many prophecies Of the sam,
kind turning out TO be "mockery, a delusion
and snare" When the 23d day Of July ar
rive', we shall see what we shall see.

The Railroad Conspirators,

We are told, says the Republican, that Dr. Fitch the
leader of the gang of dcspcradoes arrested in Michigan
is man Of considerable talents, easy, insinuatng in
address, and commenced his career of deprayity and
crime in consequence of difficulty with the Railroad
Company in ros'ins his premises with their track
lie medated vengeance, declared never should run
over his lands in safety, and that he would blow them
up, even if he knew his own father and mother were
in them Step by step he organized the gang, and be.
came deeper and deeper stepped in crime The Detroit
Tribune gives the following leaf in the history of tn,
conspiracy. 1t shows hue of villany of the darkest
dye:
At one of the regular meetings, which they were in
the habit of holding periodically at their place of rem
devious for the purpose of consultation as to their f-
ture movements and the division of plumber ii was re
ported by some, in the order of business, that one of
their sworn number, whose was stated, hal been
detected in revealing of the secrets that should
have been known only 10 the initiated. Suspicious of
betrayal were freely INDUCED in, and to the question as
TO how the guilty one should be senced one of the
conclavc made the significant remark that dead men tell
no ialcsP Acting upon this hint, it was unanimously
as'ced that the punishment should be death; and that
the duty OF carrying the penalty into effect should be

and the bidding went on till the SUN was lowered to

allotted not 10 exceed four days. This offer was the
price finally agreed UPON and the money was immedi-
a'ely counted out and paid over TO the iend who has
greed TO steep his hand in the murder. The individual
complained OF, and thus singled out as the victim of
their vengeance, was one Of the two who for eighees
months had been under pay of the Central Railroad
Company for the purpose of detecting and bringing to
ticc this most abandoned gang of desperadoes.

Marion County Roads and Bridges.

We understand the County Court, at its
term in this month, has ordered the build
ing of two additional bridges-o on
Troublesome creek, on The Shelbyville and
Lagrange road, at cost Of about 5000,
and one over South river on the Shelby!
vile road, at cost Of about $3.50
We learn also that the court appropria-
ted 500 each, on the Bear Creek road,
leading to Paris AMI Ccnlrevic, and on
the Shelbyville and Palmyra road, and so
To the Saverton road-all coqdiioaci, that
the citizens iaise and appropriate like
sum on each road.
These are important roads, on which
there is more ,'avel and hauling than on all
the roads OF the county besides. Through
them the produce Of the rich coun-
ties OF part OF Rail-, all Of Monroe, Shel-
IS, Macon, Atair, and other counties, are
brought to market, as well as ihree-iourh,
of the produce of Marion. The road district
funds, in which these roads lie, though
large, are insufficient To place and keel
them in that condition and repair, whicl
their importance demands. Hence, tho
citizens generally, propose to come for

appropriate their private funds. They ar'

My heart is sad, thou art not here,
Thy form is hidden from my view,
To the cherished one my soul holds dear
babe a long, a long adieu.
miss thee brother, when rove
Abroad amid the fragrant flowers;
Sure ma ught 10 like a brothers love-
Oh! can such bliss again be ours?
see thee in my nightly dreams,
And fancy thy sweet voice hear,
And from Loves orb halo beams,
For then my brother, thou art near.
But ah too soon the phantom flies,
wake TO know that Pm alone,
And ocean waves between us rise
Thy destiny's TO me unknown.
Perchance the grave is now thy home,
Wild flowers bloom above the sod,
Thy form lay in the cold dark tomb,
Aud thy freed spirit scared TO God.
Away, such sad'nirg thoughts away,
Those boding ieais now will quell,
And hope that on future day
I'll see the one love so well.
A sisters love unchanged remains,
Though wide the space that in,ervenes,
Nor aught save death can ever break
The tie ,hat bind, this hear, 10 thine.
Now while you toll for gIittering dust,
Remember that thy "Gop IS IovE;"

And place thy hope in Heaven above.

We have no doubt the engine is serving

for the life o.! Us we cannot see why the city
