"HIAwArHA"-Have you read it? Wehave, and
consider it one of the finest poetical productions
which has appeared for many day. We nay be
wrong in estimate of it !; but the delight with
which, the papers inform us, it is being read in
Engand-beyond the "big ca-water,"-furnishes
cogcnt proof that there Is poetry in this Song Of
lIiawatha' poet, no less than prophet, &C is not
without honor, save in his own country" 1t is a
continental poem, SO to speak. The dim, Wild
touching and woful legends and traditions of the
Indians of the North-American continent arc here
most skilfully and beautifully repeated. Read it, and
judge for yourselves. There arc but few Of the
greatest writers and orators even to whom it is given
to speak to future ages and this poem will surely
not live with the productions Of some who might be
mentioncd-but Longfcow has SO stamped his name
in this work that the hand of time will not very
soon wear it away.

REMARKABLE MAINLAND UNIVERSAL REMEDY
FOR DIsEAsE.-This city is now the home of one of
IN ,st remarkable of the age--a man who has
raversed the civilized globe, and established i'll al

his medicines for the relief of human suffering, and
which are certain for disease in all its forms.
We allude to Professor Thomas Holloway, of Lon

the British press that he had after deep research.

Years patient investigation into the laws oil human
physiology which control our bodies in health and
when diseased, led to the invention and preparation
of the ldrenowned Holloway Pill and Ointment.
Nearly if not quite half of the human race have
taken his medicines! His name is as universally
known over the globe that Of Alexander Napoleon,

His meritorious career is bounded by no imaginary
lines Of latitude and longitude short of those mark
ing the confines of civilization itself No isolated
country or nation was sufficiently extensive for the
operation of his enterprising genius. Wherever
disease has residence there he has penetrated with
his medicines, and left envable and enduring re-
putation. After enlghtening Europe, his fame spread
over Asia and the civilized portions OF Africa and
finally appeared in America. He has translated the
cures he has performed and the virtues of his med
icines into as many languages as the missionaries
have the Bible. Governments otherwise the most
despotc have been forced by the great value of his
medicines, and their popularity with the people, to
remove antiquated and tne-honored restrictions up
on the introduction of foreign medicines, and open
their custom houses to a. free introduction to the

The FIRE AT THE COURT ousE.-It seems that the
Fire, which occurred on Thursday night last in the
room of Mr.. Utley, Clerk of the County Court. was
hot communicated from candle, as first stated, as
eir [. exeingusbed his candle before leaving the
foom The fire, then, must have been communica-
ted by spark from the Fireplace.
We learn that some valuable papers and a record
book have been destroyed, but it is believed that,
Fith some pains and labor, these losses can be re-
paired. But for the prompt exertons OF Mr.. Utley
md Sheriff High the loss would have been much
more serious; and if the fire had been discovered
Pnly few minutes later, the entire building would
nost probably have Teen consumed.
Mr.. Utley is suffering much pain from his burns,
Especially in his hands. Several weeks must elapse
before he will be able attend to his duties Mean

fed as deputy Clerk, will act in his place.

The supporters of Mr.. Richardson. The Democrats
