Many years of trial, instead of impair
ing the public confidence in this medicine,
has won for it an appreciation and notori-
ETY. by far exceeding the most sanguine ex-
pectations of its friends. Nothing but its
intrinsic virtues and the unmistakabls
benefit conferred on thousands of suffer
ers, could originate and maintain the rep
utation it enjoys. While many inferior
remedies thrust upon the community, have
failed and been discarded, this has gained
friends by every trial, conferred benefits
on the afflicted they can never forget, and
produced cures too numerous and too rs.
markable to be forgotten. .@'
While it is fraud on the public topr,-
tend that any one medicine will infaIlibly
cure-still there is abundant proof that
the CaERRT PEcroRA. does not only as
general thing, but almost invariably, cure
the maladies for which it il employed.
As time makes these facts wider aud bet
ter known, this medicine has gradually be-
come the b'St rsliancs of the afflicted,
from the log-cabin of the American peas.
ant to the palaces of European Kings
Throughout this entire country, in every
State, city, and in Iced almost evary ham.

in the Armies, Hospitals, Aims House,
Public Institutions, and in DO mestic prac-
tice, as the sur2st remedy their attending
Physicians can employ for tn. NOR, dan
gerous affections OF the lungs. Also in
milder cases, and for children it is safe,
pleasant, and efectull to cure. In fact,
some of the most tlatteriny testimonials
we receive have been from parents who
have found it efTicacious in cases partica-
larry incidental to illhool.
The CHERRY PICTORIAL is manufactured
by Chemist, and every ounce of it under
his own eve, with invariable accuracy AMI
care. 1t is sealed AMI protected b. law
from counteheits, consequently can be re-

We have eniearOral here to furnish the

agine now the condition Of the gallant boy,
floating miles above the earth upon Gail
unsteady plank, in balloon over which he
had lost all control. The fate of tho shin
in the vortex OF the maelstrom, could not
have seemed more hopeless. When his last
stay parted with the rope, he clung for a
few moments TO his seat, and collected his
thoughts. Was he to float forever in the
air, wonder TO the birds and a specialize
TO men, or was he to be precipitated from
that fearful height upon the mountains be-
meath Finally, the conviction forced it.
self upon him, that he must Puncture the
body of the balloon in some manner, if he
would ever descend in safety. He there
foie determined 10 climb up to the ropes
which extended from the hoop to the bal
loon, and cut it-and this he actually at
tempted, but owing 10 the small size Of the
cords, found impossible to effect, and with
some difficulty regained his position"
He then very sagely concluded the best
course he could pursue was to remain quiet
and await the issue of his voyage. Short
ly after attempting this exploit, the balloon
was caught by two currents of air, which
caused it TO Whrl round until it produced
severe dizzinessupon recovering from which
he found he was gently descending on the
great plain above, and some fifteen miles
from Benicia, upon which he safely landed
With but slight sprain Of one of his ankles,
bctYeen six and seven O'Clock in the eve
ning-dstance fl ON San Francisco, upward
Of fifty miles.
1t was in attempting 10 secure the balloon
that he received the slight injury which he
experienced; for finding in bis efforts to
gTapple with it that it was carrying him up
again he let 60 his hold at an elevation uf
some eight or ten feet from the earth, and
thus his hurt. On letting go his hold, the
balloon resumed its voyage and was soon
lost 10 his sight. Thus proyidenlially ter
minated one of the longest, and the most
adventurous and hazardous of all erial voy-
ages on record.
1t is stated that this balloon, which was
Of large size and superior in all respects, had
b en- dcsignedly injured by the punctures
Of a sharp knife in upwards Of Two hundred
places, and that although carefully repaired
it is more than probable it sprang leak from
the compression of>the opposing currents,
and its gradually leaking, permitted its IA
vorable descent II is really to be hoped
that this balloon may be recovered rs an in,

Its navigator.

commence to run RATS down here as soon as
the river raises, for the vessel which he has
engaged to be in this harbor in October
Above Mr.. Armstrong;, the country is more
settled. There il a trail down the Cheha-
lis river to the mouth Of the Wynoosha,
which the immig ants can drive their cattle
along, and there is large scow or fat boat
at that point in which the stock can be car
iicd as far down as desled.
When we consider that there is vastly
large scope of country embraced between
this harbor and river and the Cape Flattsry
range of mountains south and west of Pu-
get Sound-from the best information can
gather, large portion Of it is praries-and
the forests Of timber, beds Of coal, minerals,
and fisheries, which will have 10 come 10 this
harbor for a market by the three navirable
rivers, and also the large section OF country
south b,lween this and the Cowli'z, we are
compelled to the belief that this will be a
rich and populous section of our territory.
And vessels running to lhi point will save
from ten TO fifteen days each voyage, which
may be considered a no small item in a
years business. These things all combined
cannot fail 10 make a city of importance at
Grey's lIarbor, and Che halls is undoubted-
" the point where it must be built. Those
wishing to get new homes will do well to
look for themselves before they settle down
and consider those future advantages which
will quickly spring up in our midst Of which
We may be unmindlul and Disappointed.
