GREEN's OxYGENArED BIrTERs.-Facts
within our OWE knowledge justify the belief
that Green's Oxygenated Bitters, advertised
in our columns, is a very valuable medicine.
BY submitting the composition to the judgment
Of scientific men, the proprietor has obviated
some of the strongest objections against most
advertised medical prescriptions. 1t is not en-
piricism inasmuch as it is declared by so emf
nent chemist as Mr.. Hayes to be scientific
preparation, and adapted, in ali its component
parts, and as a whole, for use in the cases
which it is recommended We know, too, that
at least one practiceing physician, a man of
thorough science, and as far as any one from
countenancing quackery, and who knows the
composition Of the medicine, has the same opin-
ion Of it that Mr. Hayes expresses, and has ac-
cordingly used it in his practice. The certif-
Gates speak of the actual effects of the medicine
in cases of Dyspepsia, Asthma, &C., in terms
that would be thought extravigant but for the
intelligence and character of the gentlemen
who sign them.

A SUPPOSED MURDER.-A telegraphic

August I'd, to the n. Y. Tribune, says
that woman was found buried in the
woods in Sookonk, about two miles from
this city, on Friday last, who had evidently
been murdered The body had on no
clothing whatever, and was about two feet
below the surface of the earth, except her
head, which had turned forward in getting
her into the pit or grave. The head had
been exposed by the digging of some dogs,
which led to the discovery. The body had
probably been buried for two weeks.
No clue has been discovered to her name

enough to make humanity weep to see

probability is that death will kindly step
in and rescue many of them from life of
sin and wretchedness. Ofcourse I would
not be understood as cOunseling uncharita-

Pursuit of Happiness.

1t is doubtless rather interesting to the
mind that loves to study human nature,
to see the various ways that serve as q
magnet to attract the minds of men, as
they are all, or nearly all, aiming at one
great object, and that is happiness.
Although they pursue different paths, per-
haps they arrive at the same zenith in
their own imagination. Some take plea
sure in accumulating an immense fol tune
perhaps leave their native land, and all of
those that are near by the ties of nature,
and 60 to the gold mines of California
But when they obtain their millions there
is something still wanting with the selfish
ones. They keep reaching for little
more and little more, until they expire.
How often pleasure is sought in the gay
and fashionable circle, and its votarics car
ried from one thing to another, continually
changing. / have not reference to the
Boomers, for l think there cannot be
much pleasure in thai fashion, unless it is
to see the uncouth appearance they make
dressed in that costume) But | suppose
some think they might as well be out of
the world as out Of the fashion, and so each
one will try to excel another in all its
numerous fascinations. Some are carried
away in the whirlpool of dissipation until
they sink into drunkard's grave. Others
pursue fame, and think in this to hand
their names do N to generations yet un-
born, as the learned, the brave, the noble
ones Of earth. For this they put all the
powers of the mind into action, and all
to crafty the love of appreciation. And
after all, what is fame but an empty
bubble?
These are a few of the innumerable
ways that people follow, when the object
Of nearly all is happiness, But is there
nothing to satisfy the mind in this wide
world? The response is yes--the gospel
the Son of God holds out to men. That
sacred boon yields solid peace, and is un-
known but to those who bow to his mild
'ceptre. If such are called to fill the
chair of state, or to wade the turbid
stream of poverty, or are stript of all that
IS near and dear in this world, they have
he Eternal l Am for their guide and
protector, and are filled with the blest
of one day walking the
gold paved street of the New Jerusalem.
All, this will stand that trying nom ont
when called to lie in the tomb, and
when the strong lunged angel shall blow
he solemn blast that time shall be no more,
hen the happiness of the righteous is just
commencing. 0, who would not be a

How they Preserve Order in Austria

shocking affair as having taken place

bons which she had in her dress, ac-
cording to the custom Of the country
girls, saying that these colors were
revolutionary. The bridegroom OBJ
jected, saying that after the -ceremo-
ny the bride would comply with the
desire of the gendarme, but that now
they could not keep the priest wait
ing at the altar. The gendarme re-
tired, the procession proceeded to
the church, but at the moment when
the bride was kneeliDg at the steps
of the altar to receive the benedic-
ton, the gendarme rushed forward
and cut her tresses and ribbons, with
scissors, from her head. In Hunga-
ry it is considered a great insult to a
female to cut off her hair; it conveys
the notion of infamy. Naturally an
affray took place; the gendarmes ar
rived in aid of their fellow-official.-
The people, though without arms,
rushed upon them, and the result was
the slaughter Of seven men, three,
gendarmes and four peasants, among

assailant of the BRIDE

"The reason OF this extinction

The exceptions are barely sufficient
to establish the rule. We do not
know why this is SO; but the fact is
as apparent as the face Of the
heavens. Southern men, therefore,
cannot longer act with the National
Wing Party. We in the South
never had any Immediate interest in
the establishment of the Protective
System; but acting in good faith TO
our Northern Allies, the Southern
Wing Partytied itself TO an unpop-
nlar issue dhd fell with it. The re
turn which we have received for
this lis general alliance of North

much the same thing, Free Soilism.
