THE HORRORS OF STARVATION.

The following, which is the experience
of miner. we clip from a recent Cali
fornia paper. Two men sough bit distant
" digging" became completely shut up
by heavy SNOW, and soon consumed all
their food. The writer says: "On the
second day of our starvation | found the
carcase of mule that l had lost in the
fall, which the cayotas had nearly entire
ly devOured but on examination We
found small piece of flesh remaining on
the lower thigh, which we carefully cut
off with the hope that We could eat il
ourselves. But it was no 60 it would
not stick. We tried it in every way,
but to no purpose. 1t was more than our
stomachs' could bear. What now to do
we could not TELL. To get out was i'm
possible. Death seemed to stare us in
the face. My companion became so de-
spondent that he gave up all hope and
would not leave the camp, although he
was a much larger and stronger man
than myself: yet l kept up much the
best. But at the same time saw little
chance but to starve; yet had faint
hope that he would die first and then
-. For fear he might take advantage
of me, l seldom let my rife out of my
hands. I kept on my feet all the time,
although I was getting exceedingly weak;
and the snow on the river bar was four
feet deep AID from six to ten feet deep on
the mountains. Now, ali my fairy dreams
Of wealth and happiness when I should
get home, were turned into gloom and
darkness !: gold lest its lustre. To be-
come a cannibal was horrifying; the
thought of having to starve to death and
become food for the wild beasts was in
tolerable. Gold was Of no use: ] would
have gladly given all / possessed for one
pound Of bread, but, alas 1 could not
get it. My heart grew faint within me,
/ knew full well that there was no chance
for my men to get to me before ]. must
starve to death, unless my com
panion. should die, or I----. ( To be

and treacherous; but what could /
do? Is it not better that one die thar

CHRONIC RHEUMATISM cUREDI

GEORGETOWN, Jan. 81, 1853.
DEAR SIR: It is with Sense of gratitude, and a
desire that others suffering from disease may be in
dnced to the Extract Of Beech Drop, that con-
sent to give the following statement for publicity
Until the last month was sufferer from Chronic
Rheumatism, from the effects Of which NJ heal b
war 50 completely undermined and broken up, that
lost 20 or SO pounds of my usual weight. Anxious
to find some relief resorted to the most approved
patent medicines. I used number of bottles of
Townsends Sarsaparilla, and exhausted the list of
Liniments. without any effect. My joints now be-
came enlarged, and the pains in my limbs excru-
ciating, that they had to be rubbed two or three
times night. The muscles ofmy legs were so con-
uaeted that presented the appearance of man Of
ixty-fiye when j walked. In this condition, more
through curiosity than belief in its good effects
commenced tie of your Beech Drop, and in ten
CT twelve days the swelling about my joints had SUBJ
sided; and now, after the use of three bottles am
able to resume my business, and can walk with the
same ease and comfort that formerly did.
Yours truly, &C., ISAAC BARRETT,
