IL Sick Headache Remedy..-A remedy for

IL Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently offered
to the public, is attracting great attention, not only
by of the very satisfactory testimonials TO
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by il, but also because
there are so great number of people who are af.
ficted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DIR.
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 very common disease, which
has been so long needed has attractedthe attention
ofal sufferers from headache who have heard of it,
From our own knowledge of Dr. Eastmans char
acter and practice, we have no doubt that the med
cine deserves the favor receives, and that il will
prove to be great benefit to all who may give it

They seize with avidity every additional detail
concerning far-off lands, and believe implicitly
the relations Of the official travellers, when they
pay no credit at all to the testimony of private

the following resolution:
Resofued, That we recognise the compromise of
1850 as a democratic measure; and much of
the Nebraska and Kansas bill as relates TO State
sovereignty, and the rights of the territories TO
gulate their own domestic institutions, meets with
our earnest approval.
This is the first democratic meeting held in the

Accident.-A difficulty occurred yesterday be-
tween Mr. Dan Rice aud man named Robinson,
who had formerly, we understand, been employed
in Mr.. Rices amphtheatre. Robinson abused
Dan for some time and made use of some ex-
tremely ugly epithets and very bloody threats but
Dan finally laid himself alongside The menacing
calumniator and supplied him with sockdologer
right in the middle Of his angry countenance,
which floored him instanter. He scrambled up in
much wrath and Immediately drew and savagely
fourishcd sort OF compromise between bowie
knife and ceaver, with which he proposed TO sever
Dan into two distinct pieces; but that sagacious
and usually ood-bumored individual disappeared
for an instant and returned with revolver, appa-
renty much more in the mood of Mars than Of
Momus. Then ensued scene of much noise and
confusion, great rushing 10 and fro ofthe crowd,
and general scramble and outcry OF those who
had no ambition TO be considered fre-eaters:
Some humane persons, who did not desire 10 see
boodshed, seized upon Dan and attempted to de-
prive him of his pistol, and in the sculie that en-
sued, the weapon was discharged twice, one of the
bullets striking boy who was standing near, and
passing into his foot near the ancle. The wound
was not serious and the ball was extracted by DR..
Llghtcap without difficulty. Mr.. Rice went to the
police Office and gave bond for his appearance to
answer any charge that might be preferred.

A Mysterious odger.-On Wednesday night
last, the family of Major General Twiggs, at No
Prytana street, were alarmed by hearing sounds
as of ghostly footsteps in an unoccupied chamber
Of the house. The general was absent and these
strange and unaccouniabe sounds, which were
with much caution and stealth, carried as much
terror into the bosoms Of the unprotected family
as once did the name of the above redoubtabie
general into the ranks of the Mexican foe. Aid
was Immediately summoned, and several gallant
gentlemen from the immediate neghborhood as
sembled in the lower paror A council OF war
was held, and il was determined that such forces
as were at hand should be armed with whatever
weapons might be provided from the kitchen, pam
try. and woodward, and forthwith proceed 10 kill
or capture The intruder. The chamber door was
duly assaied and burst open, in the most approved
manner, and the daring party rushed in with up
lifted lights. and steel and bludgeon pois ed for the
deadly thrust or the crushing blow. Nothing was
to be seen of the supposed enemy; every recess
and hole was examined, some Of the party search
ing closet with great scrutiny as did Don AL
fonso when in pursuit of the amorous Don Juan,
and with about much success. The cause OF
all this disturbance at length, however, dis
covered behind the door, dragged out, exposed to
the light, and recognised as Mr.. Ben Hougbton, a
promising young limb of the law, who has figured
and does figure somewhat conspicuously wher-
ever and whenever he has an opportunity He
was permitted 10 depart unharmed, but was ar
rested the next day and brought to the calaboose
Of the first district While the charge was, being
written down against him, and the vigilance OF
the officer was for moment withdrawn. he darted
through the door and took 10 his heels, and being
young, active, and light Of foot as well as OF head,
was soon beyond the reach Of pursuit. An affda-
Wit was made against him yesterday, and the mat
ter will soon undergo an investigations.

Great Excitement IN windsor. New Hamu

Great Excitement In Windsor, New Hamp-
shire-a Father Poisoned by Son-Escape
of the Murderer.-A correspondent informs us
that much excitement prevails in Windsor, New
Hampshire Ia quiet and secluded town. in conse-
quence of an unusual and nhuman outrage per-
peirated by son. who fatally poisoned his father,
and attempted 10 kill his aunt The particulars
furnished US are as follows:
On Monday morning, the Sd instant, Mr.. Lem
uel Curtice, of Windsor, New Hampshire and
Mrs. Lyon, widow lady, and sister OF Mr. Cur
tice uhen acting as housekeeper for Mr.. C.,) soon
after eating their breakfast, were both attacked
with violent fits of vomiting. DR.. Wilkins, OF An
trim, was sent for, and at once pronounced them
poisoned. Both continued 10 vomit, and renamed
in great distress for several hours. The poison,
il is supposed was administered in the tea, OF
which Mr.. Curtice drank two cups. Mrs. Lyon
drank but part of cup, and feeling nausea, LEFT
the table, and went into the bedroom adjoining,
where in a few moments she was seized with
vomiting. Before Mr.. Curtice had drank the
whole of the second cup he was similarly seized.
Mrs. L., having drank but small quantity, was
soon relieved. Mr.. Curtice fingered in great pain
until Monday night, the 17th instant when he
died. DIR. Hatch, of Hillsborough, and DIR. Will
kins, who attended him during his illness, pro-
nounced his symptoms the effects OF metallic
poison and, after his DEATH post mortsns exami-
nation gave convincing evidence that such was
the fact
Suspicions were entertained that the poison
was put into the tea by son of the deceased, as
he was then at home, and with whom Mr.. Curtice
had had some difficulty. Some two or three days
after the poison was taken, T. ~ Blood, esq, Of
Hillsborough, made a complaint for Mr.. Curtice
against the suspected son. Upon this, a warrant
was issued and placed in the hands of sheriff.
who, the next morning, went in search of young
CurtIcc but, on inquiry, found that he had left
the place where he had been Lying about midnight
the night previous. Since then nothing whatever
has been heard Of the young man. 1t is TO be
hoped that he may soon be arrested, and be made
to suffer the penalty Of his diabollcal act

instead ofturning their vehicles TO the curbstones
as in the olden time They do not always imme-

do not believe that Mr. Vanderwerken, the pro-
