~ Sick Headache Remedy.-A re,

the sick headache, which has been recently offered
10 the public, is attracting great attention. not only
by reason of the very satisfactory testimonials TO
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by if, but also because
there great number of people who aE
acted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DR..
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy of his 'rem-
edy," is physician in this city, in high standing
with large practice. He is physician in whom
great confidence is placed; and we do not wonder
that his remedy for a very common disease, which
has been so long gneeded, has attractedthe attention
ofall sufferers from headache who have heard of it
From our own knowledge of DR.. Eastman's char
acter and practice, we have no doubt that the med
cine deserves the favor il receives, and that it will
prove to be great benefit 10 all who may give it
a trial.-Lynn Neacs, December %, 1853.

The Ascension.--Mr. Elliott, whose ascension
on Thursday favored Us with call yesterday.
He informs that he rose 10 the height of $4,000
feet or about 23 miles, and landed Ii miles from
Washington, in the direction Of Annapolis, upon
the estate of Mr.. Hillary. He says he was never
so much delighted by beauty of sceneas on this
occasion. When near Bladensburg, thin gauze
veil appeared 10 obscure part of this city, It's
southern extremity resting on the Potomac near
Alexandra, and its northern on the hill near kal-
Drama; but through this he could discern objects
distinctly while beneath him, without any appa-
rent cause, beautiful rainbow greeted his eye In
the distance the spires of Annapolis were seen.
On landing, the negroes were much frightened,
but soon recovered confidence sufficient TO APP
proach and assist him. A horseman approached,
bearing kind invitation from Mrs. Hillary TO ac-
cept. the hosptaties Of her mansion, which he did
accept with feelings of gratitude, and in the morn
ing was conveyed with his balloon to the nearest
depot. Mr.. Elliott expresses much feeling when
mentioning the kind reception of this excellent
family. He also thanks the people this city for
their kind forbearance and encouragement in his
difficulties.
We learn that Mr.. EIo,ts loss is about 500.
We would suggest that some person or persons
should remunerate him by collecting sum suili-
cient for him 10 give public ascension at some
stated day ofnext week.

pE- Hendrickson, who was recently hung in
New York State for the murder Of his wife, was
horrible miscreant, if half the crime imputed
to him is true. A correspondent Of the New
York Times says:
During the summer of 1851, he committed
brutal assault upon Miss Catharine Elnen-
dorf, for which he was arrested, but found suff-
cient bail to obtain release. He was, how
ever, compelled to leave Clarksvile OH account
of this outrage, and went to Corning in Sep
tember of the same year. He remained there
for some two or three months. At length, on
November I, 1851, his wife gave birth to a fine
and vigorous child, which died in mysterious
manner, after brief existence of but six weeks
and two days Hendrickson had pressed his
wife to come with her infant to the house of
his father, and there the babes death occurred.
We give the narrative of this circumstance pre-
cisey as it was narrated at the trial, and as it
has since appeared in the Albany EUening
Transcript:
"When they retired for the night the child
appeared to be in perfect health, nursed. freely,
and slept soundly; but towards morning it be-
came worrisome, and at 5 o'clock, while its
mother was sitting in bed endeavoring to soothe
it, Hendrickson awoke. He offered to take the
cnllQ JnaC Sne InlRnt Sleep, anu upon Her CIV
ing it to him, he turned towards the front part
Of the bed, with the child in his arms. Thede
ceased has repeatedly said that she must have
become drowsy and have fallen into slumber
of about an hour. Upon awaking to conscious
ness again, fearful that the child might not be
better, or that it might have been laid upon,
she reached over her husband to feel for the
babe, and upon her hand coming in contact
with it she found it to be dead. The body of
her cherished offspring was cold and clammy.
Hendrickson, who appeared to be about half
asleep, was aroused, and upon examination it
was found that blood had flowed from its nos
trils in copious streams, saturating its garments
with the liquid Of life. How it died no living
being knows. Mrs. Hendrickson, however, ac
cused John Of having murdered it, a few days
after when he turned away abruptly and left
the house.
q After this event, which desolated the heart
of the young mother, she frequently made allu-
sion to her loss in terms that conveyed q sus-
picion of foul play on the part of her husband.
Yet when Nrged by Mrs. Van Dusen to aban-
don the company of SO dissolute and dangerous
a man, her reply was noble and worthy of the
Christian faith she so steadfastly professed:
" No. mother, have great duty to perform
if can reform John, it will be good pay for
what may suffer, and it is my duty to live
with him and use every exertion to make him
a better man.

CONGRESS-.

In the Senate, yesterday, a bill regulating
the time for holding the United States courts

inquiry into the expediency Of making some
suitable acknowledgment to Captain Fitch and
the officers and crew of the steamer Washing
ton, for their conduct in rescuing the passen-
gers and crew Of the American ship Winches.
ter; and as to the expediency of providing by
law for compensating the owners, officers, and
crews of vessels rescuing the crews and pas
sengers of American vessels from shipwreck.
