Celebrated Fermifase and Ltcer Pills.
20 A singular combination, but very eEactual,
as the following will show:
NEW YORK, November 20, 1852
Knowing, from experience, the valuable quali-
ties of DR. M'LANE'S VERMIFUGE and
LIVER PILLS, l have tor some time back con-
sidered it my duty, and made it my business, to
make those articles known wherever | went
among nv friends. A short time ago became
acquainted with the case of young girl, who
seemed to be troubled with worms and liver COM
plant at the same time and had been suffering ior
some two months. Through my persuasion she
purchased one bottle of DR.. M'Lane's Vermifuge,
and one box of Liver Pills, which she took ac-
cording to directions. The result was she passed
a large quantity of worms, and thinks that one
box more of the Pills will restore her to perfect
health Her name and residence can be learned
by calling on E. L. Theal, Druggist, corner OF
Rutger and Monroe streets.
P. S. DR.. M'Lane's celebrated Vermifuge and
Liver Pills can both be obtained at any of the re-
spectacle Drug Stores in this city
@ Purchasers will please be careful to ask for
and take none but Dr. MLAxE's VERMiFUeE and
LIVER PILLS. There are other Vermiiuges and
Pills before the public, but all comparatively
worthless.

The Case cf the D. S. Marshal---The Opinion
of Judge Mclean

The attachment under which the o. s. Marshal
was sentenced to imprisonment for an alleged
contempt OF Court in refusing 10 produce Rosetta
Arnstead was dismissed Yesterday by Judge Nc
Lean. and the whole proceedings on the subject
taken before Judge Parker declared to be mil
and void.
1t was remarked by Judge Mclean. in the
course of his opinion. that the authorities were
not uniform on the point as to whether the decis-
ion on habeas corpus final. He was inclined
to think such decision should be final where the
jurisdiction was clear, and the hearing was full
and fair; but not otherwise, or where new ind i'm
portant evidence could be obtained 1t would be
difficult to find any provision in the fugitive slave
act OF 1850 under which State Judge couI, exer-
else jurisdiction Officers are named in the stat
ute whose duty it is to act and there is no refer
ence to State authorities either directly or indi-
rectly- The fugitive being in the custody of the
Marshal with consent and at the request of the
master, she was lawfully held for the purpose of
inquiry. When the habeas corpus was served on
the Marshal the case before the Commissioner
was IN progress. and near its termination; and
could any court interfere and take the case from
the tribunal In which jurisdiction was vested7 II
the Commissioner did wrong did that authorize
State Judge to in:erpose by writ of habeas cor
pus and withdraw the case from the federal juris-
diction1
The sympathies of the counsel for the indign-
ties offered to the probate court, Judge Mclean
thought might well be spared: so also might any
apprehensions be waived for the public peace, OF
any want OF respect the part of the federal
authorities States rights had been invoked by
the COUNSEL but if these rights were considered to
mean subdivision of the federal authorities, they
might be somewhat in danger.
That the commissioner had jurisdiction liz the
case of the girl Rosetta was clear; and while he
duly engaged in the investigation OF the mat
ter, the Judge of the common pleas (whose mo-
tives were by no means to be questionet.1 by ha-
beas corpus took from the marshal the body of
the fugitive which lett the commissioner without
a case; and wres5ed from him, without authority
of law, the subject of his jurisdiction. A case of
duty compelled him, Judge McLean) therefore
to say that the proceedings of the honorable Judge
of the common pleas were not only without au-
thority of law, but against law and void
The U. S. marshal was thereon discharged from
custody. ICia. Ga.este

OBITUARY.

Earth is not mans only abiding place. Life
is not a mere bubble the stream OF time
The bright iorrns of youthful innocence, which
are presented to view for a few days, and then
taken from US, leaving the warm affections. that
had gone out alter them to fiow back upon the
heart in cold and chilling torrents testify, that we
are born for higher destiny than that of earth.
There Is another and better world. This con-
victIon has been cherished and consecrated. by
the universal consent OF ages and nations. 1t is
truth attested by the lofty aspirations OF our
hearts. which earth cannot satisfy; oy all that we
feel within us and see around and above US
There realm where these aspirations may be
satisfied, where the lovely visions of hope may
be realized, and where the bright forms given TO
earth but to show how lovely they are, then
passing, like visions away. will abide forever
To this realm death becomes the mode OF transfer.
Death Is OILY existence In another form. 1t coIl-
cludes our earthly and commences our higher and
Heavenly career
On the 18th Of April, 1855, MARY EntzABETH,
daughter of Gen-G- D. and Mary c. Royston, aged
eight years and one month. exchanged earth
for heaven the cross for the crown. She was {
sweet. and lovely child ever o5edient and affec-
tionate to parents and teachers. In the prov-
dence of a wise and merciiul God, she has been
transferred to cline more congenial TO the de-
velopnent of such virtues. She has exchanged
the tuition of earth for that of Heaven and is now
before the throne, associated with angels. and the
Just made perfect with her little harp attuned to
the highest notes of melody, and song OF praise
and glory, making the new Jerusalem resound
with the sweetest anthem that ever fell on mortal
ears. Worthy Is the Lamb to receive riches and
honor, praise ard glory and blessing.

dence to the mutual good of the surviving pa rents

Columbus, and a guardian appointed The girl
was since arrested under the fugitive slave law
and to-day brought before Parker. of this city,
who decided that whenever a slave, by consent
OF the owner. sets foot on Ohio SOIL he becomes
in all respects free; he, therefore declared the girl
free An attempt was made by the u S. Marshal
TO arrest her, which caused much excitement, and
a mob was apprehended- but finally she was con-
veved to the Woodruff House, where she now is.
