TESTIMONY FROM NORTH CAROLINA.


Certificate of Dr.. w. Smith, Of Pine Hill, Rich
mond County, North Carolina.
4. PINE HILL, March 4, 1854.
DEAR SIR have been subject of Dyspepsia, in
its worst FORM for the last five years. Such was my
condition for twelve months that the physicians and
all who saw me said must die. While in this con-
dtion, was carried to the watering places in Vir-
gnia, Tennessee, and North Carolina, but was not
benefited by any water 10 which was taken. While
on my way home, stepped week at Rutherfordton,
small village in North Carolina to try the effect of
some Chalybea water in that place. About the last
of the week went into drug store to get some med
cine for my child and myself There were several
of the village physicians in the store and of them
seemed to take some interest in my case, and after
asking me some questions, said he had been dys-
peptic and had been greatly benefited by the of
Hoofand's German Bitters," prepared by you, and
he insisted that would try the Bitters. He also
called the next day at my room, and insisted much
that would try them that asked him to get me
one bottle. He did it, and commenced taking it as
directed, and benefited by it than all the
water and medicine had ever taken.
After reaching home, one of my neighbors came to
me for prescription and medicine Che dyspeptic,)
and gave him nearly all the Btters had left which
effected much good in his He has often called
for more Of the same kind Of medicine saying
he was more benefited by it than any other he had
taken but have not been able to get any more for
him or myself since. Will you therefore, please ship
me a dozen more as as possible.
Respectfully yours, W. SMITH

THE Sr. MARY's SHIP CANAL.-Through
the attention of S. M. Holmes, one of the
Board of Control, we present to our readers
the last Monthly Report for 1855 Of the
Superintendent of the Ship Canal around
the Falls of St. Mary. The public of this
State, as well as Of neighboring States whose
trade is tributary to Lake Superior, will be
gratified to perceive that up to tho.closing of
the canal for winter, and the permanent max
ing Of ice above and below, the structure
gave evidence in all its details of adequately
withstanding the influences of winter. The
report Of the Superintendent exhibits conf
dence in his ability to open the canal for the
passage OF steamers and vessels at as early a
day as the condition of the ice above and be-
low in Lake George and Mud Lake and in
the bay above the Falls will enable them to
reach the canal. AS the banks have become
disclosed by the drawing off the water, it has
been made apparent that the walls of the
structure have received no injury during one
seasons's use, and have given no indication
Of failing in any respect. The Caison gate
near the head of the canal, about which
much apprehension has been expressed, and
upon the construction of which many stric-
lures have been made, is in its place and full
filling in preventing the entry of the waters
from the lake above. Upon the whole, the
condition of the work, as made manifest
by the report, is entirely satisfactory.

ExTRAoRDINARY WAaER.-"I will bet
any man FIVE hundred dollars that he cannot
make one million strokes with pen and ink
within month. They are not to be mere
dots or scratches, but fair down strokes, such
as form the child's first lesson in writing. .a
A gentleman accepted the challenge
The month allowed was four weeks, or twen-
y-eight days; SO that, to complete the under
taking, an average of $4,000 strokes per day
was required. That at sixty per cent, or
three thousand and six hundred per hour,
(and neither the human intellect nor the hui
man hand can be expected to do more,)
would call for ten hours in every twenty-four.
With proper feeling of respect due the OBJ
servance of the Sabbath, he determined to
abstain from his work on Sunday, and by this
determination, he diminished by four days
the period of time allotted to him; at the
same time by SO doing, he increased the dai-
ly average Of his strokes to upwards of forty
one thousand strokes. On the first day he
executed about ffty-one thousand strokes; !;
on the second, nearly as many. But at
length, after many days, the hand became
stiff and weary, the wrist swollen, and it re-
quired the almost constant attendance of an
assiduous relation OF friend to besprinkle it,
without interrupting its progress over the pa
per, with lotion calculated to relieve and
invigorate it. On the twenty-third day, the
million strokes, exceeded by some thousands,
to " make assurance doubly sure" were ac-
complished; and the piles Of paper that ex
hibit them, testify that to the courageous
heart, the willing hand, and the energetic
mind, nothing is impossible. These interest
ing papers were claimed and received by the
person who paid the wager.

THE DRAINING OF THE HARLEM SEA-
The Chairman of the Commission on the
drainage of the Harlem Sea (Holland), has
published q final report on this work, which
is to be finished this year. The expenses from
1889 to 1856, inclusive, are $3,400,000, and
the receipts from land to be sold is estimated
at S3,2O0,00O. 1t was at first supposed the
reclaimed land would be worth only some
S32 dR acre, but in 1853 it was actually sold
for over $12O. This return exceeds all ex-
pectation, as the draining was not undertak-
en- as speculation, but as precaution against
further inroads of the sea. Fruitful farms
already begin to appear here and there on the
former floor of the sea. Forty-five thousand
acres in all have been reclaimed from the sea,
which will supply 100000 people bountifully
with the means of life.

Snow BREAD.-All persons, where snow
abounds, are not, perhaps, aware of the val
ue of the feecy flakes in making light, deli
cious, aud wholesome bread. There is no
"raising" in the world so perfectly physiolog-
cal as good, fresh, sweet SNOW. 1t raises
bread or cake as beautifully as the best of
yeast, or the purest acids and alkahcs, whilst
it leaves no taint or fermentation like the
former, nor injurious neutral salt like the lat
ter. Indeed it raises by supplying atmos-
phere wherewith to puff up the dough, whilst
the other method only supply carbonic acid

HORACE ON THE BEARD Horace
Greedy, in late lecture, is reported to have
spoken thus Oh shaving: ~ 4"
"We say to young America in counting
houses and workshops, never touch your
boards with razor. Despise the dictates Of
fashion, and let the hair of the face grow silk
en- and soft, only trimmed by the scissors.
Your health will be improved; your teeth
will be sounder; your liability to colds and
bronchial and lung affections will be scnsibly
diminished; your manly beauty---no despi-
cable thing, as it is the type Of what ought
to be the dover Of every man--will be in
definitely increased, and the true and poeti
cal contrast to feminine lovliness be once
more secured, which is impossible under the
starved, scraped, wiry, caricatures which
shavelings now present" 0 .A.tN - '"

WOLVES IN IowA.-Owing to the extreme
cold weather for some time past, the wolves
in Pottawattamie county have become dan
gerous neighbors. Poultry yards and sheep
folds have been robbed to frightful extent
and in several cases the hungry beasts have
not been inclined to spare the human species.
About three weeks ago, man was return
ing from prayer meeting accompanied by
his two daughters, one 16 and the other 23
years of age. Suddenly a pack of timber
wolves assailed them, and being unable to es-
cape by flight they attempted to defend
themselves. But the wolves attacked the
horse rendering him unmanageble. The old
est daughter was partly thrown and partly
dragged to the ground and devoured. This
enabled the father and other daughter to es-
cape. Several neighbors were soonmustered
but on repairing to the spot nothing was
found but one shoe, and a very few of the
unfortunate girls clothes.
A boy about 13 years of age left his faith
er's house to get water at spring which
was about half mile distant, since which
time nothing has been seen of him, the pail
was found near the spring, also some marks
of blood, and a lock or two of hair Seve-
raj persons have been chased by these saw
age monsters. Keokuk Post.
