III Sick Headache Remedys--A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently offered
to 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 il, but also because
there are so great a number Of people who are af-
fcted 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,
win large practice. He is physician in whom
great confidence is placed; apdwe do not wonder
that his remedy for avery common disease, which
has been so long needed has attractedthe attention
ofall sufferers from headache who have heard OF IT,
From our own knowledge Of DIR. Eastman's char
acter and practice, we have no doubt that the med
icne deserves the favor IL receives, and that il will

great attractions here, more desirable for being

only has he tables and other articles Of fnrni-
ture, but mantelpieces and pavements of ma.
lachiie and ldpis Ldzuli; indeed his visitors
often wear in a small brooch on their bosoms,
precious stones, such as they walk over or lean
upon in his gorgeous saloons.
The grounds attached to his villa are nearly
as extensive as the royal gardens, and are en-
closed the whole length by an iron fence, higher
and richer than surrounds any American park

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT AMONG THE CHERo
KEEs.--The first Indian that was capitally
executed by the Cherokees, under the Chero.
kee laws and by Cherokee sheriff, was q
fellow named "Nat," who was hanged about
five miles from the town of Van Buren,, in
Arkansas, for the murder of another Indian
who was called "Mosquito.' The singular
and almost laughable particulars of the exc.
cution were recorded at the time by an eye
witness:
"The sheriff had caused a gallows to be
erected short distance from the court lodge,
but when the culprit was brought to it, he being
a very tall man, it was found to be too short
for his accommodation, and some other place
had to be sought for the execution.
"The whole band of Indians with the sheriff
and Nat in the midst of them then betook
themselves to the banks Of the Arkansas in
search of a proper tree from which to suspend
the prisoner; and, after little time, tall
cottonwood was found, with projecting limb
far up the trunk, that, in the opinion of all,
was suitable for the purpose. iageS
"Nat, now that all things were ready, ex.
pressed q wish to battle in the river once more,
which he was permitted to do, carefully guarded
by the rifles from the shore. He went into the
water, frolickcd about for some time, swan to
and fro with great apparent pleasure, then
came to the shore, donned his blanket, and
stood ready for the last act of the drama.
"The Sheriff now told him to climb the tree,
which he commenced doing, the officers Of the
law toiling up after him with the fatal cord.
Nat reached the projecting branch of the
tree, and was desired by the Sheriff to work
himself out upon it as far off from the trunk as
he could, which was done, when the sheriff ad-
justed the moose around his neck, and tied the
other end of the rope around the limb!
"All these preparations were conducted with
the utmost GOODNESS and the most perfect good
understanding existed between the sheriff and
the Indian. When all the arrangements were
completed, the sheriff told Nat that lie would
slide down the tree to the ground, and make a
signal, when he, the prisoner, must jump of
the limb-to all which Nat cheerfnlly as
sented.
"The sheriff reached the ground, and looking
up to the limb upon which sat the poor victim,
he shouted
"'Now, Nat, you red rascal, jumpF And
jump Nat did; and, after few struggles,
hung mass of lifeless clay, to the infinite
wonderment of his red brethren, who had never
before been RECALLED with the sight of an exc
cution of that kind.p-Harper's Magazine.
