of its superior efficacy over all others.

DEAru OF Mis-. CAss.--The wife of
General Cass died at Detroit on the night
OF the 31st ult. She was an amiable W.
man, domestic in her habits, prefering the
quiet OF her Western home to the gaieties
of Washington life. aud has been the part
ner of her distinguished husband during
the most eventful portion of his life. We
deeply sympathise with General Cass in
his sad bereavement.
The past few years have been peculiar.
ly fatal to the occupants of high politica
positions, and their immediate circle oil
relatives. Mr.. Polk died soon after his
term of office had expired-shortly after
Taylor, Calhoun, Clay and Webster sanl

Pierce, the wife Of Ex-President fillmore
