ErDR MLANE'S LIVER PILLS

A@@NC
Were not, like the quack nostrums of the day,
got up with a view to profit, but were discov-
cred, after many years Of study, by one of the
first physicians in the United States, and used
in his private practice. Their marked success
elected the most unqualified appreciation of
physicians and Others who had witnessed their
effects. Possessing all the sensitive feelings of
a thoroughbred physician, DR. M'Lane dreaded
being classed with the shallow pretenders who
crowd the columns ofthe newspapers with puffs
of Sovereign remedies" and for a long time
declined the requests of many that he would
proclaim his great remedy to the public; but,
finally, after much persuasion on the part of
physicians and others who had witnessed the
wonderful cures effected by the Liver Pills,
he consented to prepare it for general use. The
following certificate, from DR.. Morgan, will bear
us ont in this statement; it is also valuable as
medical testimony ofthe efficacy ofthese Pills;
"This is to certify that | have been ~associat-
ed with DIR. M'Lane in the practice Of medicine
for nearly two years and a half. | have had
many opportunities of witnessing the good eff
fects of his Liver Pill and / believe they have
cured and relieved a much larger proportion
of the diseases of the Liver, than | have known
cured and relieved by any other course of treat

Died,

On the 18th ult., after a severe illness, of
Bilious Pneumonia, II. II. BELL, Esq, in the
10th year of age.
A%citizen of the county and ofthe neighbor-
hood in which he lived and died, he has sud
denly been snatched from a life of usefulness
and honor, leavinga tender and interesting
family, and a large circle of admiring friends,
to regret his untimely death. Early imbued
with the vigorous discipline of a practical age,
his character was stamped by the strongest
traits Of magnanimity, generosity and indepen-
dence-softened and adorned by all the do
nestle virtues of an u~nfailing amiability, a ge-
NAL hospitality and a kindly consideration for
the wishes of Others; these he has left to awak-
en- the sigh Of regret in the bosoms of all who
knew him, and to excite the deepest sympathy
for his widowed wife and orphan children. TO
those unacquainted with Mr.. Bell, the language
of just commentator would be but idle praise;
to those who did know him, all commenda-
ton is useless. His manly and agreeable man
ners were the delight of his friends, and an
ornament to society; his unspotted reputation
an inheritance to his children. His best eu-
logy is the regrets of his friends-his noblest
epitaph, the virtues which eonsecrate them.

Tue LYcEuM.-This body held their first
meeting, on Wednesday evening last, with the
most encouraging circumstances attending.
The night was fine, the room s~plendidly light
ed, and in most comfortable order, and the au-
dance large, graeed with a great many ladies
well wishers ofany enterprise, which has for
its object the lettering our social or moral con-
dition. Nothing more certainly could have
been asked for, The address by the Rev. Mr..
Lord, was in his usual happy style. Eloquent'
logical, and especially suited to the times, as
the subject was 'the% relation ofspirit to mat
ter We might extend a commendatory no
tee to great length, but this would be useless,
besides it would be a troublesome precedent
AS the Lyceum meets monthly. The essay by
Mr.. Dillingham;, was beautifully written, and
well read-subject, Revenge and Forgiveness
or, "War and Peace" Mr.. D., is a writer Of
taste, and handles his subject with skill and
eloquence. Throughout the whole evenings
performance, the audience payed the most
marked attention, and we doubtnot considered
themselves well paid for "the assembling o.
themselves together" OF the next meeting
we shall give notice in due time.

We most heartily wish the enterprise great
success, and bespeak for it the favorable re-

should be encouraged among us; and if it is,
there win be no need of sending to New York

To ComEsPoNDENTs.-We have received
the communication Of "Omega," but for the
reasons given last week-if for no other-we
are compelled TO decline its publication. If
writers are unwilling to trust us with their
names, they can save time and paper. Omega,
we should suppose, has but little practice in
writing for "the papers" We, with much
difficulty, deciphered what we read of his ar
ticle,-it was written on both sides-crumpled
and crowded into an envelope with little re-
ference to the great law of order. We think
with more care "Omega" might make quite
a respectable appearance; try again, give us
your name, and you may have the felicity of
seeing yourself in print" We are inclined
to the opinion that your ideas at the time
your article was penned must have been in as
much confusion as your room, keep cool! and
use or attempt to use fewer books, magazines,
pamphlets, papers, l%exicons, DC, at once, and
you will doubtless succeed better.
And we would take this opportunity to say
that we solicit well written favors, and shall
be glad to give them a place in our columns.
For our compositor's sake write on one side
only; write plainly, use black ink, throw blue
to the dogs, and when you comply with these
r%ules-if what you write does not appear cor.
reetly in our paper, il will be our fault.
