THERE has long existed public demand for an
effective purgative pill which could be relied on as
sure and perfectly safe in its operation This has
been prepared to meet that demand and an extern
sive trial of its virtues has concsively shown with
what success it accOmplishcs the purpose designed
1t is easy to make physical pill. but not easy to
make the best OF all pills - one which should have
none of the objections but all the advantages, of
overy other This has been attempted here, and
with what success we would respectfully submit to
the public decision 1t has been unfortunate foi
the patient hitherto that almost every purgative
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This is not. Many of them produce so much
gripping pain and reyulsiOn III the system as to more
than counterbaance the good to be derived from
them. These pills produce no irritation or pain,
unless it arise from previously existing obstruc-
ton or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely
vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in any
quantity but it is better that any medicine should
Sc taken iudciOusly. Minute directions for tler
use in the several diseases TO which they are APP
plicablc are given on the box. Among the COM
plants which have been speedily cured by them, we
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
Of Jaundice, Indigestion, Ianguor and loss of APP
petite Listlessncss, lrritability, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side
and Lons for, in truth, all these are but the con-
sequence Of diseased action in the liver. As an
aperent they afford prompt and sure relief in Cos.
tvcness, Piles, Collie, Dysentery, Humors, Scrof-
ula and Scurvy, Colds with soreness of the body,
Ulcers and impurity Of the blood in Short any
and every where purgatiye is required
They have also produced some singularly sue
cessul cures in rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, Gravel,
Erysipelas, Palpitaton Of the Heart, Pains in the
Back, Stomach, and Side. They should be freely
taken in the spring of the year, to purify the blood
and prepare the system for the change of seasons.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, and restores the appe-
lite and vigor They purify the blood, and, by then
stimulant action on the circulatory system, reno
yate the strength of the BODY and restore the
wasted OF diseased energies of the whole organism.
Hence an occasional dose is advantageous, even
though no serious arrangement exists; but I'M
necessary dosing should never be carried too far,
as every purgaye medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess The thousand cases in which
physic il required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves to the reason Of every
body; aud it is confidently believed this pill will
answer better purpose than any thing which has
hitherto been available to mankind. When theI
virtues are once known, the public will no longer
doubt what remedy to employ when in need of
cathnrfic n,pdic,no

A visit to Battle Fields.

A correspondent of the New Orleans
Picayune, at Brownsville, writes:
have just returned from a visit to
the battle grounds of Palo Alto and Re-
SAGA de le Palma, but scarcely vetige
remains to denote the fields which re-
dound SO much to the gallantry of our
regular army On the former field a
cannon ball is occasionally picked up,
which is the only indication that it was
ever used except for the peaceful purpose
of grazing the large herds which at pres
ent roam over it.
At the Resaca de Ia Palma the faint
outlines of the redoubt which the Mexi-
oans occupied on the west bank of the
Resaca are still visible, but SO overgrown
with brush and underground that they
trees still show marks of the strife, and
a few shreds of old shoes and an
occasional battered canteen are also to
be found in the chappereli but there is
naught else to show that here was the
scene of one of the most closely contested
fights of the war where bayonets were
often crossed, and where hand to hand
fights whore frequent, as the scattered
combatants met beneath the shade of the
sweet scented nimora or midst the tan
blcd brushwood.

The Dollar Mark.

The true derivation Off is the figure
|e. The Spaniards, from whom we de-
rive the dollar, count by reals-as
French do by frances. A real is in val
|ue twelve and one-half cents, or one
cigh part of dollar Any one who
has read Gil Bias or Don Quixote will
reeollect the "pieccs of eight" which
is frequently used by the authors of these
works The term, then, means nothing
more than dollar, or eight reals
When, therefore, the dollar became gen.
orally used, the figure 8 was prefxod to
express dollars, and in the process of
time the has beca changed to the
present mark It is asserted that Gen.
Hamilton first used this mark, soon af-
ter the adoption of currency of dollars
and cents. However this may be, the
figure 8 is, no doubt, the original of the
mark

Exciting Ad renture with a Bear

An encounter of an exciting and dan
gerous character. with bear, occurred
Oh the 10th ivstant, near Wellsville, in
Allegheny county. Mr.. Francis Smith,
young man residing in that vicinity,
being in the woods with his gun shot a
fawn. After loading his piece, he pro-
ceeded few rods till, on climbing over
large log, in a winfall, he CHANGED to
rouse large bear which had been quiet
ly sleeping on the other side. Bruin
being thus unceremoniously disturbed,
sprang upon Mr.. s. and caught him about
the waist. The embrace thus given was
considerably more strenuous than vel
come The enraged brute would doubt
less have made short work with Mr.. s.,
who is a person OF small size, weighing
only los lbs, but for the promptitude
and presence of mind which he was able
to command. Placing his foot beneath
the breach of his gun, he contrived to
raise it so that with his hand, which
were fortunately free, he turned the muz.
zle downwards upon the bear and fired.
The charge took effect, and the formida-
Bile animal fell dead.s Mr.. S. doubtless
felt that he had escaped deadly peril.
The bear was found to weigh 500 Tbs.

Proposed Plan of Importing
Seed

There has been received at the Pa
tent Office one hundred bushels of Tur-
kish flint wheat, procured by the United
States dragoman at Constantinople, from
the foot of olympus, This wheat has
already been tested in Virginia and Ma
ryland, and has proved both hardy and
productive. 1t possesses in remarka-
BILE degree the quality of long keeping,
as was indicated by sample shown US
which Nas brought to this country by
Captain F5rter, of the navy, four years
ago. We learn that the Sultan takes a
lively interest in the affairs of this coun-
try, and has intimated that there ere
other wheats in his dominions which
would be highly desirable for our gov
ernnlept. eis.r ....u
A plan has been suggested-which
would 1pdoubtedly prove highly advan-
tageous to the agricultural interests of
this country of ,imparting large guam
titles of wheat from the shores of the
Mediterranean and Black seas for sup
plying our farmers with seed at about
the coat t-of the original purchase, freight,
&C. It has been proposed, that the
storeships of the navy, which usually re,
turn from the Mediterranean in ballast,
be freighted with seed purchased
By government and sold to agricultural
lists at a nominal rate, in condition that
they shall cultivate the same, and re-
port the result to some proper authority,
by whom the excess of cost may. be re-
funded to them. We understand that
wheat of an excellent quality can be
purchased at Constantinople, under Or
dinary circumstances, for less than half
the usual price in the Atlantic mar kets
and the United States. If this be true,
i. would be cheaper and more proita-
bic to the farmer in the end to sell his
own, and purchase his seed-wheat from
abroad, as the change of the soil and
climate would often cause his crop to
mature earlier, and give an increased
yield.

From the Sunday Dispatch
A Strange Drama in Real Life.

We havo just received the particulars
of most extraordinary story, which has
given rise to no little gossip in neigh
boring city, and the chief actors in which
have always heretofore been looked up
on as persons of the highest respectibili-
ty. Our columns have often testified
to the fact that-the most ingenious ro-
nance will often fall far short of city re-
ality, aud never was that truth made
more plainly evident than in the narra-
tive which we are about to relate. We
give the incidents precisely as they were
given to US, merely suppressing names,
and are satisfied that, in the main par
ticulars, they are strictly true.
Some months since, fmily, consist
ing of a gentleman, his wife, mother
and housekeeper, were living happily
in the city above alluded to. The gen.
tlemau was intelligent, good looking, and
not yet passed the meridian of life, while
his wife was also young, well educated
and of refined manners. She had borne
her husband two children, ofwhom they
were mutually very fond, and the hus-
band and wife were looked upon by their
most intimate friends as ahsppy coul lie
Indeed there can be no doubt that they
were happy, and, but for an exhibition
of those dark phases of human character
which sometimes startle the moral world,
they would have remained SO.
A short time since, the wife, who had
relatives in Europe, expressed desire
to visit them, and the husband, always
willing to crafty her, engaged passage
for her, and she departed. Things went
smoothly enough for some time after she
had gone, but at length the mother of
the husband thought that she discover
ed signs of too much familiarity ketween
her son and the housekeeper. She was
not willing to believe the evidence of her
senses at first for the housekeeper, be-
sides being no great beauty, had passed
the hey-day of youth, having reached
the matronly age of about forty five
It was not long, however, before the
mothers first aroused suspicious were
fully confirmed, tnd she at once wrote
letter to her doughter-in-law, stating
the facts aud advising her Immediate
return. The wife was not willing to
believe in her husband S in6delity-and,
under the idea that there must be mis-
take in the matter, she addressed note
to him, revealing what she had heard,
though expressing her disbelief in the
story. She wound up. however, by ex-
pressing desire to return home, and
requesting her husband to send her mo-
ney for that purpose. No attention was
paid to her letter, and she then began
to get reaiiy alarmed SO, raising what
money she could from her friends, she
took passage for home. On board the
vessel in which she sailed she met with
a young man whom she had known from
and who had been a suitor
for her hand previous to her marriage
with her first husband. AS she was
alone be assumed the protection of her,
and during the passage paid every atten-
tion which brother would show to sis
ter. She arrived at home safely. and
Immediately took her way to her former
residence, when she vas terribly shocked
