CuEERlNG NEWS FROM PENNSYLVANIA
The evidences begin to thickem upon us
that the gallant cold Keystone" State
will roll up a glorious majority for Pierce
and King in November next. We give
below an extract of letter from the in
terror of the State, from an influential
member of the democratic republican par
ty-one whose position enables him to
Judge correctly II Union.
"Let me assure you that the dcmocra-
cy of Pennsylvania will do their whole
duty in November next. That We will
carry the Stale for Pierce and King, VIC
will not even permit ourselves to doubt.
Our party is thoroughly united; and,
when united, we have never been defeat
cd. On tho other hand, the Wings, how
ever much they may try to disguise the
fact, are divided, The woolIy -head por-
ton will never vote for Scott so long as he
continues to stand upon the Compromise
platform. Hence we conclude that with
an efficient organization it will be easy
work to cast the twenty-seven electoral
votes Of this ancient democratic Common
wealth for our nominees in November
next"

Wistar's BAlsam OF wild
ChCFFy!!

JOHE BEST REMEDY EVER KNOWN to
L Man for Coughs, Asthma, Colds, Group,
Bronchitis, Influenza, Bleeding of the Lungs,
Difficulty of Breathing. Liver Affections, Pain or
weakness of the Breast side, First stages of
Consumption, &c.
Wild Cherry has long been known to possess
important medical properties. This fact is fami-
liar to every matrou in our land, and physicians
often prescribe it in different forms for variety
of complaints. Tar, also, has been equally noted
for its virtues; and some physicians, whose
names arc familiar to tho whole country. have
gone so far as to declare that even CONSUME
TlON could be cured by that alone. In other
hands, again, it was Early valueless, owing, no
doubt, to their ignorance in preparing and adj
ministering tia difficulty now entirely obyiated
by patient experiment and long experience.
The extraordinary medical powers of these
two substances are Aow, for tho first time, COM
bined and embodied in DR.. wistar's BGlsam OF
Wild Cherry. BY nice chemical process, every
thing deleterious or useless is rejected, so that
what remains is the most extraordinary and tru =
ly efficacious remedy for all kinds of pulmonary
and liver diseases ever known to man. To con-
vince all unbelievers that our theory is really
true. we refer to a few cases of cures performed
by this wonderful medicine.

HENRY CLAY AND JOHN RANDOLPH
The Boston Journal thus alludes to the
duel between John Randolph and Henry
Clay, an act which the latter regretted
all his life, but to which he was provoked
by ono of the most wanton and meditated
assaults ever made upon q public man :
" The particulars Of the duel arc we'll
known, The eccentric descendant of
Pocahontas appeared on the ground in a
huge morning gown. This garment con-
stituted such vast circumference that
the locality of the swarthy senator, was
at least q matter of very vague conjec-
ture. The parties exchanged shots, and
the ball of Mr.. Clay hit the centre of the
visible object, but Mr., Randolph was not
there The latter had fred in the air.
and Immediately after the exchange OF
shots he walked up to Mr., Clay, parted
the folds Of his gown, pointed to the
hole where the bullet of the former had
pierced his coat, and, in the shrillest
tones of his piercing voice exclaimed,
Mr.. CLAY you owe mo coat p to
which Mr.. Clay replied in voice of
slow and solemn emphasis, at the same
time pointing directly at Mr.. Randolph's
heart, 4" Mr.. Randolph, thank God that
am no deeper in your debit"

WmAr Is A FORA Mr.. Stark, in a
lecture before the Young Mems Associ-
alton of Troy, N. Y, thus defines fop I:
The flop is complete specimen of
an outside philosopher. He is one third
collar, one sixth patent leather one fourth
walking stick, and the rest gloves and
hair. AS to his remote ancestry there is
some doubt, but it is now pretty well set
tied that he is the son of tailor's goose
He becomes Gcstatic at the smell of new
cloth, He is somewhat nervous, and to
dream Of tailor's bill gives him the night
are. By his air one would judge he had
been dipped like Achilles but it is evident
the goddess held him by the head instead
of the heel. Nevertheless, such men are
useful. If there were no tadpoles there
would be no frogs. They are not SO en-
tirely to blame for being devoted to ex-
ternNls. Paste diamonds must have a
splendid setting to make them SELL
Only it does seem waste of materials, to
put five dollars worth of beaver on five
cents worth Of brains"
