WATER CuRE.-We have long since been
persuaded of the beneficial effects of the wa
ter cure system in the protection of health
though as an actual restorative, we are not
sufficiently acquainted to express an opinion
as to its merits. An institution of this kind
has been started in San Francisco by DR..
Geo. M. BOURNE, from whom we acknowl-
edge the receipt of volume of the Water
Cure Journal, published in New York CITY.
Persons desirous of testing the merits of this

The New York Herald of March 5th has
received information, that President PIERCE
had received a letter from the Emperor
NICHOLAS of Russia, cautioning the United
States against an aggressive alliance now
forming in Europe against u.s. The Herald
says:-
"Our foreign relations are hourly becom-

fore last, in the Senate, Senators Mason.
Cass and Douglas drove up to the White
House, from special invitation sent, in the
morning, through Senator Mason. Our
present relations with majority of the Eu-
ropean governments made necessary this
meeting. Governor Marcy, alone Of the
Cabinet was present. An important reve-
iation was made; the President placed before
the gentlemen assembled, an autograph letter
recesUed by the last arrival from Europe,
bearing the signature Of the Emperor Of
RmS,G. This letter was accompanied by
an official despatch from his Minister on
Foreign Affairs, communicating to the U.

encouraged by England and France FIX

though these secret agents are wholly igno-

their statements are marked by an extraor-

To show friendship and interest in the sue

the Emperors letter, which fact is still fur

the Minister
"The communication proceeds to show

Mr.. GwIN.-We are sorry that we have
not the room, properly to notice the arrival
OF Hon. ex-senator GwIN. We cannot how
ever, refrain from saying that we see no rea-
son why his honorable presence should make
such an impression on the Legislature, as to
induce them to go into the expense of an
other unsuccessful contest for the election

GD- Bank Failures !---Corruptiou !---
Eruption &c, &c.-MoraI and Physical Scor-
butte Affections :!
At this time when the bursting Of banks
Makes each man lock oUt for himself,
When corruption runs bare-faced abroad,
And Sccurity's laid on the shelf,
The subject should strongly be urged
That each man takes care of his wealth;
But how can he do this, we ask,
If he does not take care of his health?
That this can be done is quite plain,
And below we submit good plan,
Which when read we are certain will please
Each sensible woman and man:
Tho their systems be quite as unsound
As the Banks in this city now,
There's aremedy in our possession
To purge them as pure as the snow.
Take GUYsoTT's EXTRACT OF YELLOW Dock
And ''SARsAPARILLA' combined,
And soon-be the state of your blood what it may
In this mixture, relief you will find;

That's ever yet been brought to light;
You'll fad it at NINETY-FoUR MERCHANT,

FELL INTO A SHAFT.-A few nights ago, as
two gentlemen from Georgetown were walk

tention was attracted by the groans of some
one apparently under ground. Upon look

had met with the misfortune of falling into
shaft of some fifteen feet in depth. Upon
his being restored to firm position on the
surface, he very affectionately "grunted" out
his thanks to his rescuers. We hope this
lesson will be caution to this poor victim
to the passion-hard drinking has an unfail-
