Memphis, Tenn, July, 1850,
The Faculties, for intellectual abilities,
moral worth and professional requirements,
win compare favorably with the most distin-
guished in our country, The medical faculty
constitutes an anomaly in this or any other
contry-all Of them are able lecturers and the
best Of teachers.
Those who viii contemplate our geographi-
cal position. and the extent Of our population,
can have no doubt as TO the eligibility of our
situation for an enterprise Of the kind As
10 health, including all seasons Of the year, we
DENY that any other city has more.
A common error exists in the minds Of many
students relative to the place Of studying med
icine; those who intend praetieing among the
diseases Of the West and South should GER
tainly educate themselves at school whose
Faculty are practically acquainted with those
diseases ... ....
That the public may be satisfied Of the per-
manency Of this school. we feel it our duty to
state, that tue Trustees and Faculty form a
UNIT in action, which augurs well for its future
success; and that the peculiar internal crgani'
zation which connects them, cannot be Inter

The TRIAL OF Mary PUGH.-Tbe
trial OF this unforiunate woman
who was indicted for mansiaugnie:r
charged 10 have been committed IN
killing a young man named " m n L. !.
Matthews, took place, IN ine rirs'
District Court yesterday: The CIR
cumstances OF the case, as shown by
The evidence. were briefly these:-
Matthews and Mary, who was a wo7
man, Of the town, had been living to-
aether in I the House of Ann Mat
thews, onsthe Corner OF Treme and
Bienville Streets On the night oi
the second November last, she was
observed bv the watchmen, about
So'clock, walking TO and fro, at the
corner of Marais and Cont streets,
and she told them that she was look
ing for Matthews. After while he
came and they walked off towards
BienvilIe street. Near the house OF
Ann Matthews they were seen grap-
pied and tussling against a fence;
presently they were walking arm in
arm to the house, and before reach
ing it she called on the watch to as
sist her in helping him to the house,
When taken in, he was laid on a
sofa, and was found to be stabbed in
the breast. She was greatly dis
tressed; said he had grapPled her by
the throat and breast, and showed
her against fence, and clasp knife
she held open in her hand, entered
his breast accidentally. He said she
was not to blame in the matter al
all. She went for a doctor for him,
and bestowed every attention in her
power on him till he expired, which
was but a short time after he was
taken into the house, the wound hav-

During the trial, she was deeply af
fected; and when the verdict of tht

ExrRAoPpISARY FERTILITY

GAIhAOfOINAh1 EhI I'LL n -
Wheat. at.-Bishop Holiday, residing in
Utah Territory,on South Cottonwood
Greek, about Ten miles south of the
great Salt Lake CITY, raised from one
bushel sowing, one hundred and eigh-
ty bushels of the choicest and clean
est wheat, up, and if weigh
ed plump sixty pounds to the bushel.
This bushel was sowed in drills upon
three or four acres OF ground, and
irrigated. This same gen.
tleman informed US that his wheat
was better this last season than it
was the year previous, land he felt con-
confident that portion Of his last
crop would produce two hundred
bushels from one bushel sowing,
tho not then threshed out. That is
truly a great country for wheat, but
it requires much labor and attention
during the season Of irrigation; and
connected with this operation, there
are many little things TO be observed,
or you will ruin your crop. Every
new settler can learn them all from
the experience Of those who were
there before him. No country that
we ever saw can equal it for vines
and vegetables OF all kinds. Mel
ons, in great abundance, are produc-
ed there, OF the largest size, and rich
est quality that we ever saw. 1t is
not natural for Indian corn, vet it is
grown there, and the land has been
made to produce fifty bushels to the
acre, though this is an uncommon
yield.
Farmers begin 10 sow wheat there
in August, and continue TO sow ev.
cry month, and perhaps every week,
when frost does not prevent, until
the next June; and about the Doth
Of June they begin to harvest, and
continue harvesting their wheat un.
til the following November. We
left there on the first day Of October
and the vines were all as green a:
summer, and many pieces Of wheat
were not harvested, but were just
turning white; and we said, "surely
this is the country, where 'the plow.
man overtakes the reapers.'
In this country, when wheat is
ripe, it has 10 be harvested or the
crop is lost. Not so there. 1t may
stand in the field a month after it is
ripe, and take no harm. 1t is a diff,
ferent sort Of wheat from ours
When early wheat is harvested. in
that country, BY irrigating the stub.
bic ground, second growth springs
out from the roots of the stubble,
and not from the seed, and often
comes to maturity the same year
This is usually the case with oats.

From Arnold Buanm, The PhIInnrhropI.

DR.. Brandreth, my fear friend, ITO be good
and to DO good is the highest duty ofman and
If to do good is the best evidence a man can
give that he is good, then I feel bound to ad-
dress thee as one who has come up to the mark
of mans destiny.
As testimony that this Is not vain f1attery,
give the following brief sketch of my own ex-
perienee:
When / was twenty years old, l was very
sick for about two months with what my physi-
clan called "Slow Fever,s during which time
took much medicine; from that time for 81
years, was very often sick and under the care
of physician. About twelve years ago had
4 very severe attack Of Inhammatory Rheu-
matism, during which was attended by DR..
Moore, Of Philadelphia. | then regarded my
self as an old man with a broken constitution,
swiftly descending to the grave. Soon after
wards, however, | purchased box of Bran
dreths pills, and finding them on trial, to be
more efectual in removing disease, than any
medicine had ever tried before, replenish-
ed my supply from time to time, as occasion
required Since that time haze spent three
years in the Western Country, where l was
very much exposed to vicissitudes likely to
produce disease; twice / have crossed the At
lantic Ocean, and have now spent the last four
years in an Office in this sickly city. Once
while travelling in the West. was taken sud-
dedly very i'll, the friend al whose house stop
ped called in a physician, who made a very
careful examination Of my case. and then pro-
posed to commence process which he stated
would so reduce my system as to cOnfine me to
the house for at least six weeks, but declined
his prescriptions, took a dose of Draudreth's
Pills, called the next day and paid the physi-
clan for his visit, and pursued my travel, and
this is the only instance of my being visited
by physician since purchased the first box of
Brandreth's Pills IL years ago.
My health is now vastly setter than it had
been for 81 years before | commenced the use
ofthese Pills. They have been my constant
companion wherever have been, by land or
by sea, and my only medicine; am now
ten pounds heavier than | wns before | used
them when / take n cold now, I have no
cough, and attribute all this change, under
God, to the substitution of Brandreth's Pills,
for the frequent bleeding and the ealomel dos
ing to which Twas before subjected. My wife,
too, by the same means enjoys the same unin-
terrupted good health. Our Doctors bill foI
both Of Us, have not amounted to FIVE dollars in
twelve years. When we find our health i'm
paired from any cause, we take a dose Of Bran
dreth's Pills, and the difficulty is removed,
and judging from my own experience, believe
if every family should adopt the same practice,
the health and the longevity of the eommuni-
ty would be greatly promoted.
Most respectfully thy friend,
ARNOLD BUFFUM.
