REGISTERING LETTERS 40 ~SAFEGUARD.-
Tho system Of registering letters does not
seem to answer the proposed end. A Chi
clg, banker received notice n day or two
since that q registered letter, containing ff-
~ doIfars, sent from n post Office between
Chicago and the Mississippi, had been stolen
from the mail or post Office. Said register
cd letter cannot now be found. The system
was a disgrace to the department, and an
insult to the community from the tirst-ad-
hitting, rs it did, that the officials did not
take AZ much care Of the letters entrusted
10 them as they might. The only real safe
guard will be to make the Department respon-
sible for all such losses, which, us n common
carrier, it undoubtedly should be. The
thefts. in almost all eases, are necessarily
committed by its W agents or employees,
n class of persons for whose wrong doings
their principals, in all cases but this, are
every where made liable. The evil has be-
come q crying one, and its existence proves
the infinite infcriority of our postal arrange
monts to those Of foreign countries.
We were notified by our Postmaster, re-
Gently, that q a" Registered letter. was in the
Post Office for US. We called, and upon its
delivery gave our receipt therefor but on
opening it in the presence of the P. NJ, be-
hold, it contained no money at all. The let.
ter read Enclosody you will fnd six dollars,
&c.-but we did not fad the money enclosed
Now whose loss ought that to be? Our
Correspondent paid 5 cents extra for reg
i%stcring" that letter, thus expecting to secure
i. safe Transmission, with its contents
through the mail. But the money was ab
stractci by some thieying p. 0. Agent, an

ed forthwith. Instead Of the system bein
any protection for valuable letters, on tn
contrary, it is u sure advertisement to a.
rogucs who have any thing to do with tn
mails, as to where and how they may g
hold Of them. Repeal is the word or els

A Heart rending Scene.

Who that has n sister, wife or mother, can
read the following sad scene, witnessed
by n traveller, and then relish any of the
heartless witticisms and unfeeling structures

concerning a prohibitory law, and tho means
used for the suppression Of intcmperance.-
The sketch is taken from the correspondence
Of the Boston journal. No reflections Of
ours can add to its beauty and pathos, or
deepen the force Of its staple eloquence we
therefore content ourselves with asking all
to reflect upon the truths which its perusal
will occasion. The writer says:
As painful a scene met my view in the
cars from Philadelphia to New York, as |
had ever seen in my journeys. A lady and
her husband came into the cars at the former
place, and were seated near us-yery respec-
table in appearance, and the lady, in partic-
ular, uncommonly interesting. After a lit
tie while | noticed q strange manner in the
gentleman, which seemed to indicate lie was

opened the car door, and seated himself in 1t,
with his feet hanging outside. His wife was

him to come in, and he gave hera push which
almost sent her in the floor. Two gentlemen
rose, and, with the aid Of the conductor, he
was helped in and placed in q reclining posi-.

We dai,v hear Of the most ostonisbin . cures be.

We daily hear of the most astonishing cures be-
ing effected by that great and popular medicine,
the genuine III. G.. Farrells Arabian Liniment,
and we can say, from our own knowledge, that no
medicine ever discovered has performed the same
wonderful cures, that it has, both in man and
beast, and it is equally good for both, which
makes it so truly valuable. 1t is therefore hailed
by the suffering as the greatest blessing of the
age, and no one would ever allow himself to be
without this sovereign balm, who had once wit
messed its magic power over disease, and its Won
derful potency in relieving pain, however severe,
in a few inmates time. We earnestly desire you
to call upon the agent, who will furnish you, free
of charge, a small book containing, besides other
valuable information, a large list of certificates
from many of the most respectable persons, of
cures effected by the celebrated medicine, which
surely are enough to convince the most s~ceptical
of its transcendant virtues. We notice several GER
tifcates of rheumatism cured after the patient had
suffered everything but death for FIVE to twenty
wears. Also cases Of paralysis or loss Of use of
the limbs, where the flesh had withered, leaving
nothing apparently but dried skin and BONE, pre-
senting so horrid a spectacle that their friends
looked upon them APPALLED, wnlle physicians pro-
nounced them beyond any human effort to relieve
1t is the most eficious remedy known for burns
sprains, wounds, bruises, chilblains, neuralgia.
toothache, bites of insects and reptiles, sore throat
sore or weak eyes, tumorS, sun pain, ETC., ETC.; anc
is used With unbounded success in most of tn
ailments of horses and cattle, such as sweeny
farcy, sprains, bruises, wounds, stiff neck ant
joints, lameness, swellings, gals or chafes, sor
eyes, partial blindness, etc. If used in the begin
ming of fstula, poll evil, r~ingbone and SPAWN, j

For the Shirt Ofthe IA


Mr.. EDITOR: l congratulate the friends of
The Temperance reform. on what has been
accomplished through their instrumentality;
and although much has been done, much re-
mains to De done. and nothing short of a
prnhibitory law will accomplish what every
friend of humanity wishes to see; that is
drunkenness banished from the land. But
there are sober thinking men, who speak IA
vorably of temperance and reform they attend
and applaud temperance lecturers, vet when
az opportunity offers, they will sell the article
which makes drunkards! There are those
who have witnessed the good effect the tenn
perance reform has had on the community in
which they live, on their families if not on
themselves, who will (when their orchards
: hit , make and sell liquor!
These good temperance folks! are not going
to sell it in the neighborhood, but they are
going to sell by the Darrell! They are not
going TO make drunkards by the quart, but
by the barrel. These good people are not
violating any pledge, they do not belong to
the temperance society, but De not surprised
when tell you, that many of them belong to
the Church u
lam not a Son Of Temperance, Mr.. Editor,
but I am for a prohibitory law in the Old
North State, and hope the friends of that
measure will go to work and continue to work
until there shall not be found a drunkard-ma-
king shop in my native State.
Every county in the State, | hope will
have a temperance ticket to run for the Legis-
lature next year. There are many who would
support that ticket who do not belong to any
temperance society.

keziah Davis, wife Of Mr.. Isaac W. Davis, in the
AID year of her age, leaving a husband and eight
children, two of them infant daughters, and a large
circle OF relatives and friends to mourn her loss.
But they mourn not as those who have no hope,
for she gould say when upon the very confines Of
the spirit world, with the Apostle, 81 know that
II this earthly house of my tabernacle was dissolved,
l nave a building Of God, an house not made with
hands,, eternal in the heavens" Still, stricken
with sorreE at the sad intelligence, friends and
acqualntances generally will lament the lossfrom
their circle of one whom it was impossible to.
know without loving. But all may de1iHe comfort
from the fact that over her remains the gracious
words-stBlessed are the dead who die in the
lord, could be repeated with pious hope.-TCoM.

them at home and have become bankrupt in
worldly circumstances and in character, have
