A CARD.

The proprietor has offered none of thees
medicines to the public, without having been
well tc sted in private practice, as we'll as ex-
tensively used otherwise. From no quarter
are they likely to be excelled or often equal
led, in curing the diseases enumerated under
each preparation. All competition is decli-
ned with those who pretend to cure the som
of the maladies of the age with one remedy,
which is professed alone by charlatans who
know nothing of Medicine, or its application
to disease. DR.. L. neither writes nor publish
es anything concerning his medicines but
what he believes to be true; and, however fat
tering the many statements he has received
may be, they originete from persons Of the
drsi responsibility, residing in different lkarts
Of tbe country, as designated.
BEWARE OF IMPOSITION,
AND AVOID THE UsR OF SUBSTITUTES.

,rne American Contributions.

We give below an extract Of a letter from
an American gentleman III London to his
friend in Washington respecting the portion
of the Grand Exhibition which has been con-
tributed by our countrymen, and the compar-
ison which it bears with the contributions of
other countries. The view which he presents
is not pleasant-indeed it is rather mortfying
to our national pride-but it is from an hon.
est and intelligent source, and, though unpal-
atable, the bitter may prove wholesome:
"The importance of this Exhibition has
been greatly underrated by u.s. The Europ-
can display will be costly and magnificent be-
yond description. Some single individuals
have gone to an expense of fl0,000 in the ar
rangement and display of their goods. flour
Government had granted as many dollars to
the object we might have made creditable
appearance. AS it is, the American portion
will bear an appearance ofstinting and mean
ness not very fattering to our national vani-
ty. The articles, now that they are in the
building, are found to be insufficient to fill
the allotted space, and considerable portion
of it has been resigned to other countries.
fear we shall be very badly beaten; and ad-
wise any one who intends comming here in
the expectation that this Exhibition is going
to raise our country in the eyes of the world
to stay at home. | was one of those who ex-
pected it, but now that see the splendid re-
suits of the art and taste of the European ma
tions, feel that what we have TO show is on
ly credible considering our youth. Some of
our carriages and machinery are, however,
quite comparable with the best here. In da-
guerreotypes, also, we shall excel, and in In
dian rubber fabrics. But in all works of arts
and taste-in sculpture, glass, silks, wollens,
and even in agricultural implements-we
shall be entirely surpassed or quite equalled.
In designs we are thrown entirely into the
shade. There will be an advantage growing
out of all this. We have been comparing
ourselves among ourselves" until we have
become convinced that we are ahead of all
mankind. This direct comparison will open
our eyes and must, think, result in great
good, by giving powerful impulse to the
arts in our country; if so. the temporary NOR
tifcation will be more than compensated, and
may be recurred to without regret"

Three Wen To be hanged ora
The 27lh Of JsiRe.--EuspreSsiYc
CcremOny---AWfU warning.
NEW York. Nav 9, Is


There was a very solemn ceremony per-
formed in the Court of Oyer and Terminer
this morning, James Wall and Aaron B.
Stookev, who were both recently convicted
of murder, were sentenced to be hanged on
the 9th of June, the day TO which Ca-uell.
who murdered the German named Rosseau.
in Dey street, was respited by the Governor.
Although Carnell, may have hope, IN consc-
quence Of the respite, OF escaping the gal
I lows. there is no probability that he Will be
able to evade the penalty which he has IN
CURED. 3 men, therefore, condemned to pay
the penalty of the highest crime known to
the law. on the same day. In two OF these
cases the crime was the result OF lntempcr-
ance.
Judge Edmunbs in addressing Wall, used
the following language Your habits OF IL
temperance have done it all. For some ten
wears You have constantly mdulged IN this
miserable habit. 1t has driven from yoH your
wife. who, there is much reason to believe,
was taught BY your example also to become
iutemperate. 1t caused the violent and
bloody death of your child in its infancy; II
has made you a vagabond on the face Of the
earth, without home and without friend
it has made you to be frequent inmate OF
the Penitentiary; it has imbrucd your hands
in the blood of fellow creature, and now
places you before us to receive from US the
/ ignominious sentence of death ON the gal
! lows. All this you have owed to the habit of
I intemperance, in which you have voluntarily
and perseveringly indulged.
! In addressing Stookey, the Judge said
| Like the case of the wretched man, who has
! Just been sentenced in your presence, you
owe your habits of lntemperance.
1t seems that YOU were once respectable
man, but by such habits, you have fallen
from that condition, until you are arraighed
at the bar of Justice, to receive sentence OF
the highest penalty known to our law. The
circumstances which attended your crime,
forbid you to entertain any hope that your
sentence will be mitigated; without provoca-
ton, and in the merest watonness, you stab
bed your victim to the heart, so that he ms
tantly died And that by the means Of
deadly weapon with which you went constant
ly armed, and which you had often threaten
ed to use before, you have just made yourself
an example of disorder and bloOdshed /; and
the peace of society demands that you be
made an example of the fearful consequences
which must flow from such conduct A few
days only have passed since your crime was
committed, and few weeks only will roll n
way, before you will expiate it on the gal
lows The time of your death will soon be
at hand, but the interval may be proftab!y
spent.
Here are lessons on the evils of intemper-
ance, which it is to be hoped will not be with
out their effect. Here is an admonition, es-
pecially to the rising generation, which
should sink deep into the minds Of all

Dar The Locusts have made their ap-
pearance in Berks and Lancaster coun-
The Locr,sfs.

DR.. Smith, of Baltimore, who has paid much
attention to the habits and history of this in
sect, fixed the period of their leaving the
ground in Maryland, about the goth of May.
But few, he said, would be found on the first
day, more the second, and so on increasing.
until the 9th of May, after which there
would be gradual decrease until the 9Th OF
June. The following description by DIR. S.
of the first appearance of the insect above
ground, and of its transition to the winged
state is as minute and no doubt accurate. "a
it is interesting:
When they come up from the earth-al-
WAYS about daylight or little before-they
immediately climb the first object they meet
with. n tree. bush, or stake, any thing two
or three feet. They then lay hold of the
bark. fixing themselves firmly BY their claws,
and commence working themselves out Of
their old shell, which is done by rupturing it
on the back. between the shoulders, and draw
themselves OUT As soon as they get fairly
out, they seize hold OF the old she'll with their
claws, raise themselves, and begin to expand
th&r wings. Their bodies and wings at this
time are exceedingly delicate, white and
moist; but q few minutes exposure to the air
dries and hardens them, so that by the time
the sun is fairly risen they are perfect, and
can fy. The wings, before sloughing, are
beautifully folded up, and it is beautiful
sight to see them unfolded, and in few min,
utes changed from the moist soft and delicate
tissue to the firm and rigid wing of the per
feet insect. If it be wet or very cloudy day
they arc apt to perish in the operation o
sloughing and drying.
The following, which we copy from tht
Baltimore Patriot of Monday, shews that the
predictions has been verified:
Yesterday morning, May 18th, the gen
eral resurrection commenced, and we learE
that field and forest are now rife with them IL
every direction as far as heard from. DIR
Smith has shown us quite considerable bo!
full of the insects They are also in on
garden. Some few early rlsers made their ap
Daarance in warm, confined situations sew
eral days ago; but the grand marc out
Egypt commenced yesterday morning.

The Methodist Church Case.

This case was opened in New York on
Monday week, before Judges Nelson and
Belts. The attendance was large and much
interest is manifested in the result. The fol-
lowing is we believe clear statement otthe
facts of the case.
In lS47 the Rev. Francis Harding, slave
holder of the State of Virginia, was suspend
ed by the Baltimore Conference, for his connec-
ton with slavery. The action of this body
was afterwards confirmed BY the General
Conference, which also suspended Bishop An
drews from the performance of his official du-
ties, because of his holding slaves whom he
had obtained possession of by marriage, and
of his refusal to liberate them.
In consequence of the course taken by the
| General Conference the southern delegates
declared that continued agitation OF this
subject would compel them either to abandon
the slave states or separate from the north
The southern delegates afterwards agreed
upon what was called Il plan of separation
and southern convention held on their re.
| turn home, resolved to establish separate
organization; but the nOrtern conference
which had possession of the funds, refused tc
give any share of them to that division of the
church, which now became known as the
South Methodist Church. After this refusal
Southern commissioners were appointed by
the General Conference (South) to institute
this suit for the recovery of between sever
and eipht hundred thousand dollars, the a
mounts claimed by them as part owners o
the general fund previous to the separation
and which is at present invested IN the Meth
odist book establishments Of Ohio, New York
and the charitable fund of Philadelphia
The counsel employed on the part of th'
plaintiffs, are Mr.. d. Lord and Revery John
son, and for the defendants Messrs. Georg'
Wood and Rufus Choate. Mr.. L. Ewing
has also been retained as counsel for th'
plaintiffs. Neuark Mercury.

Farmers Ernisrating to Virginia.

Some of the best farmers in Western New
York have purchased lands in Virginia, and
will soon become cultivators of the soil in
that State. In letter to the editor of the
GeneSee Farmer, of recent date, from Proc
tors creek, Chesterfield county, Virginia, the
writer says:
i am anxious for a company of Nothern
farmers, says one hundred to one hundred and
fifty to purchase tract of from twenty to
forty thousand acres, within twenty or thirty
miles of the principal cities and tide water, at
or near railroad or water navigation. 1t
will be but thirty hours travel by railroad
from New-York and forty-eight hours by
steamer. Some of these lands are well i'm
proved and have fair buildings; and their av-
erage may be four dollars per acre. The eli
mate is salubrious and admirably adapted to
fruit culture. The following prices are COM
mon for the crops named: Wheat 81 05 and
81 per bushel; corn, 70 to rs cts; rye, CD to
20 cts; buckwheat 81 to 81 25; hay, 500 TO
S25 per ton; oats, so to Ga cts; butter, 25
cts per lb. always; cheese, none made; Irish
potatoes 81 per bushel; sweet potatoes, 81,
to 81 so; beans, 81 80; cotton II cents; Qit-
tie raised but might be) Nothing is farther
from the truth than the common belief at the
North, that it is disgraceful for white man
to labor.
