=, YTHE Ieso-rasc-MUs PARFY.-A good
one is told Of Mr. Fillmore in Europe,
which win do very well, though the elec-
don is over. The best thing about it is its
authenticity, for the fact was recently rela-
asd by gentleman in this city, who was an
eve witness. Mr.. Fillmore, just previous
10 his return home, was at dinner party.
Another honored guest was geuty old
English lord, who in the course Of conyer-
sation enquired of Mr.. Fillmore: "Eh,
Sir, what is this new party in your coun-
try, so called the IaNo-RAw-Mus party?''
Mr.. Fillmore being the candidate for the
Presidency Of that party, maintained q
digni6ed silence. But another American
gentleman broke the solemn stiffness with
the remark: .Your lordship is mistaken;
1T is not the ignoramas but the Know Moth
ing ty''--7and. was about to expatiate Of
the wonderfully high and pure objects Of
the party, but the old lord was satisfied
and interrupted him with: Eyes; well
thought it was something Of tkat kind ~
We are credibly informed that several
Know Nothings to whom this story has
been related, with all the condiments, as
Tom Corwin would say, insist that it is
not atall funny. ec@

EPILEPSY, or Falling Fits.

We believe we cannot do our readers 4 more
important service, than BY again calling Their
attention TO that most remarkable prepare
ton, discovered by DR. SETH S. HANcE, Of
Baltimore, Nd, which possesses the power
of alleviating and curing that horrid visitation
pf man Epilepsy or Falling Fits. In rec
ommending this preparation to our readers, we
do so with a convictionthat we are not de-
grading our columns to puff common patent
medicine, but are placing before them, dis
coyerv, which if fully known, would ploba-
bly, do more to alleviate human suffering,
than any invention Of modern times. DR..
Hance, in asking us to notice Incorporation
fayorably in our editorial department, has sent
us for perusal number ofletters from per-
sons who have used his Pills, and have been
cured thereby: All of them speak in the
most grateful and eulogistc terms. One great
advantage this medicine possesses is the fact,
that it can be transported through the mails,
thereby atfording every one an opportunity
of dealing directly with the inventor, and al.
so precluding alfpossibility of beng imposed
on by a counterfeit or spurious imitation. DR..
Hance pays the postage on bis Pills to any
part of the country, and will forward them by
return of mail, on the receipts of remittance
His pnces are as follows: One box, s.; two
do. !, $5; Twelve do. $24. All orders for the
medicine should be addressed 10 SETH S.

which are said to exercise more beneficial effect up
on the fluids OF the human body than any other cura

Good Medicines.

II is estimated that Ayers Cherry Pectoral
and Cathartic Pills have done more TO pro
mote the public health, than any other one
cause. There can be no question that the
Cherry Pectoral has by its thousands on thou
sands cures Of Colds, Coughs, Asthma, Coup,
Inf uefza, BronShits, &C., very much reduced
the proportion of deaths from consumptive dis
eases in this country. The Pills,a are as good
as the Pectoral.and willcure more complaints.
Everybody needs more or less purginG.
Purge the blood from its impurities. Purge
the bowels, Liver and the whole visceral sys-
TEN from obstruciinns. Purge out the diseases
which fasten on the body, to work its decay.
But for disease we should only die OF old age.
