Dr.. Richardson's
Sh erry Wine Bitters,

AVE been sustained through more than
IL one entire generation, and with liberalty
unknown to any other medicines and an in-
stance is not known by the proprietor, where
they have not been of benefit to those using
them for the cure of complaints as recommend
ed. Is not the long continued, unwavering
support, by the public, of the Sherry Wine Bit
tiers, sufficient evidence of its superiority over
every other medicine offered for saleY 1t is
manufactured precisely the same, and the com-
poncnt parts are the same as they were at its
first introduction. 1t contains no mineral sub-
stance whatever; and the public may be as
sured that it is the same Richardson's Bitters
which, throughout the New England States,
the present rising generation have heard their
fathers and mothers so often speak in praise.

Henry Woodward, of Richmond, dated
25th May, 1851. "To Professor Hol-

years from a'most obstinate liver com
plant, and although tried various
medicines prescribed by the most eminent
medical men in different parts of the
country, yet | could obtain no relief, and
in despair had recourse to your Pills,

Divine Providence) of restoring me to a
state of good health that 1 never could
have anticipated.

S6r 1t is somewhat amusing to see

~ 1t is somewhat amusing to see
how successful N. p. Willis, Of the
Home Journal, has been in cliciting the
sympathy of the public at large. Mr..
w. is a very pretty writer, and has
furnished his paper with some interesting
letters from Idlewild, his residence on
the Hudson. But it would seem that
he was not satisfied with being read and
admired, hut he must touch the sympa-
thies of his readers; accordingly be
manged to convey the idea that he was
about to journey to-
The undiscovered country from whose bourne
No traveller returns"
which of course call forth expressions Of
regret from the press generally, together
with many first rate notices for bis paper;
when, 10 it was discovered that many
" sicker children than he was had re-
covered" and the probability was that be
might do the same this may all be very
fine sport for Willis but he should re-
member the fate of the boy who amused
himself and alarmed his neighbors by
crying wolf" when there was no wolf,
till he received neither aid nor sympa-
thy when the wolf really did come.

~ One of the most remarkable

~ One Of the most remarkable
cases of canine sagacity occurred in this
vicinity recently, that we have heard oi
lately. A rat terrier, belonging to
Hon. N. +. Dixon, attacked q large
woodchuck, which was SO near his match
that for long time it was very doubt
ful which party would come off victorious;
as they fought till they were both COM
pletely exhausted, when, as if by
mutual consent, they separated and re-
tired few PAGES till they we're some
what recovered, when they returned to
the combat with renewed vigor; and
this they repeated some three or four
times, and neither party gaining the ad-
vantage, the dog resorted to q strata
gem which soon decided the combat in
his favor. The fight was on side bill,
at the foot of which was a small puddle,
and the dog, finding that he,gained no.
thing in fair fight, clinched ip with his
antagonist and they commenced rolling
down the hill over and over till they
reached the puddle, when the dog seized
the woodchuck and held his head under
water till he drowned him. :

~ W. Bradley, of Richmond, Va.
claims to have in his possession " mad
stone," which be says is infal;ble for
the bite of any poisoned reptile or in
sect. The Richmond Post says it is a
rather curious looking affair; it is about
as large as piece of chalk, perfectly
porous, and truth to say, almost inde-
scribable. When applied to the wound
either Of q snake or mad dog bite, it
will draw until all its pores are saturated,
then drop off, and if placed in warm
water will soon disgorge' and then be
ready for action again. Mr.. Bradley
offers to sell it to the city of Richmond
tor the triaing sum of $4,000.

DR.. GOTHAM AND THE LONDON TIMEs-Our
transatlantic cousins seem considerably alarmed
at the prospect of friendly negotiations being
set on foot between the Emperor Of Russia and
the United States government, and the leading
organ Of British opinion is particularly severe
on Dr.. Cottman, the emissary Of Nicholas.
We do not share the belief which appears to
be entertained In certain quarters that the Doc
tor has been utterly extinguished by the broad
side Of the London Times 10 our fancy, the
artillery Of the Thunderer has seldom been less
formidable, his shots more clumsly aimed. In
the publication which has given such annoy
ance to our contemporary, DR.. Cottmsn stated
two leading facts: First, that the Gear was not
ill-disposed towards this country; and second,
that the allies had not achieved such wonderful
successes as they expected. Does the Zimes-
does anybody deny these statementsf Is It
not notorious that the only exploit Of the cam
pain Of which the allies can boast has been
the reduction Of Bomarsund, where the British
and French were six to one? Then as to the
Cars respect for this country and his opinions
about republicanism In the abstract, 1t Is quite
clear to any man Of common sense that there
can be no enduring compromise between abso-
luiem and democracy. Eitbor the people must
govern themselves as they, do In this country,
or they must DO governed BY some one not
