LIVER COMPLAINT.

.8 This dangerous and often fatal disease had long bated the skill of the most eminent physicians when the discovery ofDr. MLanes Liver Pills solved the difficulty and presented to the world THE GREAT SPECIFIC, which has attained such widespread cele brty for its certainty of This successful reme- dy was the result of many years study in which the symptoms were narrowly observed, and are thus de- scribed by the Doctor himsef:-
 "SYMPToMs OF A DISEASED LIvER-Pain in the light side, and sometimes the left under the edge Of the rbs-the patient being rarely able to lie on the left pain sometimes under the shoulder blade. frequently extending to the top of the shouder-often mistaken for rheumatism in the arm: sickness of stomach, and loss of aPpete bowels mostly eostive. but sometimes alternate with lax; dull heavy sensa- ton in the back part of the head; loss of memory. with uneasiness of having neglected somethnc some tunes dry cough; wearness and debility; nervous rri tability feet cold or burning and prckly sensation of skin; low spirits assitude with dsinclination to exercise, although satisfied twould be beneficial. In fact, patient distrUsts every remedy"

will soon take proud stand among the States of this government, and the whole government will have cause to give us thanks for our acts in this matter. Friends of the enterprise, let me again exhort you to be firm, true and con- sistent, and we have nothing to fear.
 l have been accused of wishing to hasten this measure too fast, but gentlemen should recollect that this matter has been before the people more than two years. The public voice like an avalanche, called upon him to hasten. Ills constituents had directed him to hasten on the good work-the executive had recommend ed that this matter should be attended to at an early day, and the House commanded this re- port to be made as soon as possible. Now, could he be said to be in too much haste.
 There was time for deliberation, that time has been given, and is past, now is the time for action, lei us improve it.

Artificial A Too


 Prof. Merriam, of weather notorietv is tro- VelIlnS, and has written letter to the New fork Commercial Advertiser from the banks of the Cuyahoga, Ohio dated the 31st ultimo. We give the following extract:
 This afternoon 1 have been engaged in ex- amlning machine made here for producino intense cold by artificial means The machine alter having been worked an hour brought down the mercury in the thermometer to the Ilne of twenty-four degrees below zero which was the lowest degree marked on the scale cut an apple and placed it on the outside of one of the metal pipes in which current of ether was made to pass through vacuum, and In few minutes 1t was frozen. This machine has been two years in being brought to its pre- sent state Of great torwardness It is worked by steam. It freezes water, forming blocks of Ice twelve inches by siX-that being the size of the metal cells in which the refrigeration takes place. Beach cell is separated from the others by what may be called q tlue. A large num- per these cells are placed in what may be called square clsern, and of sufficient num- Der to produce ton of ice at one operation. Ciothlng of persons coming to quarantine in vessels can be frozen by this machine, and thus invested of the germs of pestilence It can be made to frost the entire inside of a shin in a lew hours and thus purify its hold and its otb CT departments and it is capable of reducing the temperature of stone warehouses so slow as to free the goods stored in the refrigerated apartments from every thing infected with yellow fever.

same by his love shed abroad in her heart .bv the Holy Spirit. Thus the earnest of the spirit ln her heart and was sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. She joined the church and lived an examplary life, one of the most loving and atfectionate children, loving and affection ate wife, and truly a help-mate as such She was loving and tender mother, a good and kind neghbor, esteemed by all who formed a personal acquaintance with her. She has left an atfectionate husband and five loving chil- dren, with many relatives and friends to mourn ther loss; but, to this bereavement we must submit our loss is her infinite gain. She suffered much bodily afflcton at times during some ot her last years. In all as in her last painful suferings she endured with Christian like fortitude, resigned to the will of her Hea- venly Father-strong in faith and hope look ing to the glorious inheritance laid -up in Hea. ven. Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them. It is appointed unto man once to die, and return to his mother earth.
 Clay to clay, and dust to dust,
 let them mingle, for they must
 Give to earth the earthly clod,
 For the spirit fled to God.
 Deep the pit, and cold the bed,
 w here the Spolls oi death are laid
 Stiff the curtains, chill the gloom
 Of mans melancholy tomb.
 Look aloft! the spirits risen,
 Death cannot the soul imprison;
 ',Iis in heaven happy spirits dwell,
 Glorious, though invisible.
 Thither let us turn our view;
 Peace Is there, and comfort too?
 There shall those we love be found,
 Tracing joys eternal round.

NEW METHOD OF PREVENTING BURGLARY AND FIRE.-A Mir. Burgess, of London, has invented an ingenious contrivance for warning the occupants of dwelling in case of burga- " or fire. It consists in spring concealed in any door, window, shutter or desk, to which it may be thought proper to apply it, and it is so arranged that when any burg at tempt is made, an electric circuit is completed, which causes an alarm bell to ring in the bed : room of the master of the house. Even fire will find it difficult to break out without leave and in the day time, the circuit can be shut of by turning handle.
