PARKERSBURG MINERAL WEII,

THE undersigned, Proprietors respectfully
4 announce that this celebrated watering
place. is now openfor the reception and accom-
modation of visitors During the last year, con-
siderable additions have been made to the prop
erty, in the way Of buildings, slee ping apart
ments, &e.-so that we will be enabled to enter
tain larger number of guests, with more comfort
than heretofore. The subscribers deem it unnec-
essary to commend the medicinal properties Of the
water in these wells; their virtues are already so
well known and so highly appreciated by the
public, that further commendation would be
superauous. Let it suffice, that, in cases of
dyspepsia, dropsys and other maadies arising from
disordcred conditions of the liver or stomach, the
PARKERsBURG MINERAL WELLS are unrivalled, as
almost countless witnesses will testify, who came
hither as invalids and were cured by these waters
Our 0mnibuses will leave the Wharf boat at
Parkersburg at 81 O'Clock every morning for the
speedy and comfortable transit Of passengers and
baggage, between the Towr and Wells. Tue

New DIscoyERY.-Doctor Curtis newly dis
covered method of Inhalation is attracting good
deal of att ention throughout the country, wher-
ever his new method has been tested. 1t is GER
tainlya common sense principle, and an easy,
pleasant, and direct applic alton to the diseased
part. We believe in the efficacy Of this treat
ment from having witnessed its beneficial results
in more cases than one of diseased lungs, and
we are persuaded that in recommending it to the
afflicted, we are aiding in the dissemination of
principle and entirely new application of the
same, which is capable of affordi1ig more relief
to the suffering, and holds out more cheering
and well founded hope than any ever before dis
covered. 1t is destined, we think, to produce an
entire revolution in the treatment of all such dis
eases.
We have heretofore, almost invariably refused
to publish or no tice patent medicines, and shall
continue the same course in regard to them, un-
less we have the most positive and reliable proof
In regard to their usefulness. The reader will
find in our paper the advertisement of "Medical
lrhalaton," - DR.. Custis' newly discovered
method referred to aboye-which contains more
real truthful, sensible and convincing evidence
OF its value as medicine, than we have ever
before seen crowded in SO small space. We
bespeak for it the earnest attention of the aflct-
ed and their friends, and will say of cur own
knowledge that we know it to be good. Our
wife has used it with decided success in an an
noyng cough of several years, standing, and an
old and valued friend. has found relief from it in
case Of Bronchitis, where all else failed. But
these are triles when compared to those certified
to in the advertisement and satisfactorily SO tc
us, before we would consent 10 even pulish the
advertisement which, by the bye, is the only
medical advertisement we have ever yet publish.

THE HIGHWAYMAN's HORSE.

Between the years 1850 and 17G0, a
Scottish lawyer Of emincnce made Jour
ney to London. At that period such
journeys were usually performed on
horseback, and the traveller might either
ride post, or if willing TO travel cconom-
ically, he bought horse and sold him
at the end Of the Journey. The gentle
man above alluded to. who was a good
judge of horses, as we'll as an excellent
horseman, had chosen the latter mode of
travelling, and had sold the steed on
which he rode from Scotland, as soon as
he arrived in London. With view to
his return, he went to SmithiieId to pur-
chase horse. About dusk a handsome
one was offered to him at SO cheap arate,
that he was led to suspect the animal was
unsound, but as he could discover no
blemish, he became the purchaser.
Next morning he set out Oh his tourney;
his horse had excellent PAGES, and the
first few miles, while the road was We'll
frequented, our travelef Spent in congrat-
ulating himself on his good fortune, in
having made so good bargain. On
finchley Common, and at place where
the road ran down slight ascent, and
up another, the traveller met clergyman
driving a one-horse chaise. There was
nobody i'll sight, and the horse by his
man9uvre plainly intimated what had
been the profession of his former owner.
Instead OF passing the chaise, he ran
close up to it, and stopped it, having no
doubt his rider would embrace so fair an
opportunity TO exercise his y5cation.-
The clergyman never doubted the identi-
iy Of the equestrian, produced his purse
unasked, and assured the astonished
lawyer that it was quite unnecessary to
draw pistol, as he did not intend to
offer any resistance. The traveller rallied
has steed, and with many apologies to the
gentleman he had so innocently and un-
willingly atfrighted, pursued his journey.
The horse next made the same sus.
picious approach to a coach, from the
windows of which a blunderbluss was
levelled, with denmciations of death and
obstruction to the rider, though sackless
rs ne used to express it, Gf all offence III
word and deed. In short, after his life
had been once or twice endangered by the
suspicious to which the conduct of his
ho1ae gave rise, and his liberty as often
ahreatened by peace officers, who were
disposed to apprehend him as the motor.
i,3us hishwayman who had formerly rid.
den him, he found himself obliged to part
wi tn the iaauspicious animal ior q mere
tri tie, and to purchase at dear rate, one
less snowy and of inferior action, but o.
better moral habits.
