munica ed to the Imperial Academy Of
Medicine in May last, the results Of in

acquired by brine, after considerable
length of time. in which pork or other
meats had been salted or picked. Although
the nature Of the poison is involved in con-
siderable obscurity, its existerce is clear

after the preparation of the brine, and its
use then, mixed with food for any length
OF time, even although In smal quantities,
may produce death. A simple solut on OF
salt in water, alter the same length OF
time, does not produce the same effect
The poison acts as local irritant. exciting
violent intestinal congestion and inflamma-

the skin and kidneys, and exers direct

AN UsExPRcTED CLrMAx.-Speaking OF
the tendency OF temperance orators to set
forward themselves as previous examples
of the bligh,ed effects Of drink, an ex-
change says: =
The prediction was smartly saiirised
the other evening at temperance meeting.
A person in the hall got up and said :
"My friends, three months ago signed
the pled.o--(clapping Of hands and ap-
proving checrs)--in month aiters ards,
my friends had a sovereign in my pocket,
a thing l never had bcfore-(clapping and
loud chcers)-in another month, my friend,

never had before--(cheers and clapping OF
hand much louder--a fortnight after that,
my friends bought coffin !"
The audience was going to cheer more,
and stopped and look serious. 'You won.
der," continued the speaker, "why | bought
a coffin, Well, my friends, bought a
coffin because felt pretty ccriain that il
kept the'pledgc another fortnight should

PREscorr's New WoRk.-At the cele-
bration Of the ffty-6rst anniversary ofgihe
New York Historical Society, on Tuesday
evening, an able an elaborate address was
made by Rev. DR., De Witt At its con.
clusion Mr.. Bancroft moved a vote of
thanks, and made beautiful speech. In
tho course Of il ho said that he heartily
joined DR.. De Witt.
"ln his appreciation Of the glory and
grandeur achieved by the Dutch, and he
must add that a scholar of New England,
and one who had no superior, was about to
bring before the world history of the war
in which the Netherlands emnncipated
themselves from the yoke OF Spain. We
should have history Of that glorious
struggle in very short time, delineated
in brighter colors than had ever yet been
spread upon it, and illustrated from richer
materials. We should have such work
ina few weeks from the hand OF Prestcott
in honor of the Netherlands as the world
bad never yet seen. And we might here
sec how good never was lost. The Neither
lands set an example to us of deecara-
ton of independence, and it was well
known that the Dutch declaration was the
model Of our own. The Dutch republic
had gone down, but not until greater and
stronger republic had risen up to preserve
it until that day when it should revisit the
shore. from which it had been expelled only
for season." lApplause,l
This is the work which Mpssrs. Phillips,
Sampson e. Co. are about to issue, and
which will afford rare treat to the lovers
OF history.

PROFESSOR WOODS

HAIR RE ORATIvE
rs, no doubt, the most wonderful discovery Of
l. this age ofp,oyress. The following is from
a distinguished member Of the medical profess
sen:
St. Paul, January I, 1855.
Prof. o. J. Wood, Dear Sir-Unsolicited,
l send you this certificate. Alter being nearly
bald for a long time, and having tried all the hair
restoratives cxtant, and having no faith IN any,
I was induced on hearing of YOU'RE, to give It =
trial. placed myself ia the hands oi a barber,
and had my head well rubbed with good stiff
brush, and the Restoratiye then applied and well
rubbed in, till the scalp was all glov. This
repeated every morning, and in three weeks the
young hair appeared, apd grew rapidly from
August last up To lie present time. and is now
thick, back, aud strong-soft and pleasant to
the touch, whereas before IL was harsh and
wiry, what little there was Of Il and that little
was disappearing rapidly. | still use yonr
Restorative about twice week. and shall soon
have good and perfect crop OF hair. Now !
have read OF these ihings-and who has not p
but have never seen hitherto, any case in which
any persons hair was really bene6tted by any Of
the hair tones, &c, Of the day and it really
gives no pleasure to record the result Of my ex-
perience. lhave recommended your Idepara-
ton te.others, and il already has a large aud
general sale throughout the Territory. The
people here saw its effects, and have confidence
in il. All who have used il here, will coincide
with me in what I have written. The supply
you ,ent Us. as the Wholesale agents for the
Territory, is already exhausted, and daily in
auiries are made Tor IT, You deserve credit
iIr your discovery. ! for one return you thanks
Tor the benefit il has done me, Tor ! certainly
had despaired long ago, Of ever cffecting such
result. | congratulate you that your fortune
