The Following Letter, from Rev. Henry Wood,
of Concord. editor of the CONGREGATIONAL Journal
speaks volumes in Of Wstai's Balsam:
CONCORD, N H., March 2 1S4a.
Mr. S. W. Fowle: Dear Sir-Two years ago, sudden
and violent attack upon my lungs, confined to my oed
for several weeks; and when ed, was so much
oppressed by difficulty in breathing. that was often IN
able to sleep rest upon bed by night The suf ring
was extreme, and Judging from the inefcacy of the
edies used, supposed the disease ncurale. Being per
suaded to try bottle of
HISTAR'S BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY,
without the esst confidence in its efficacy found the
difficulty almost entirely removed before one bottle
was used up Having mortal aversion to medicine and
seldom using it in any form, sympathy with my fellow
sufferers induces to make this public statement, and
recommend the article to others similarly ahlicted
With respect, yours truly. HENRY WOOD.

COL. FREMoNT'S CLAIM.-rhe confirmation
Of this immense claim, and the final issuance
OF a patent TO the claimant, which has at
tracted so much attention throughout the
Union and in Europe, begins to enlist the
serious consideration of the present occupants.
The Mariposa Gazettee, which is supposed to
utter the sentiments of the residents of that
locality, in speaking ofthis claim, says;
"Much is said at present, not only in this
vicinity and throughout the state, but in the
Eastern States, relative to Col. Fremont's
claim of Las Mariposas,' The people here arc
probably more interested than any others
for by the final confirmation of the claim,
they are placed at the mercy of Col Fremont
and those associated with him. That the
Col. will pursue wise and liberal policy to-
ward our industrious and enterprising citi-
zens, who have done so much to develop the
country, and whose Improvements are the re-
suits of years of labor, we have not the slight.
est doubt. But still we are upon his hand,
and so far is property is concerned, legally
at his mercy. Beside improvements every
where observable i'll our mining towns, very
large amounts of capital have been invested in
quartz veins, many of which have been ex-
tensively wrought. Mills have been built,
shafts sunk and mines developed, many of
which are very valuable to the present occu-
pants. 1t is probably for the advantage of all
that this claim is settled. Any condition is
preferable to that of uncertainty.
1t has hung like nightmare over this county
-retarding its growth, preventing the intro
duction of capital, and embarrassing its inter-
ests, With natural advantages equal to
many counties, we are three years behind
most of the northern poi tions of this State
The reason is very apparent. If liberal course
Of policy is adopted by Col. Fremont, Mari
posa will thrive to a degree hardly equalled
by any of the northern COUNTESS

For the Spy.
A Wedding Song of Water and Wine.

- H. B.
In Cana was banquet spread,
And Hebrew youths and maidens gay,
Thither with blithesame footsteps sped,
To share the nuptial holiday.
But darkly drag the dreary hours,
The grape no generous tribute pours
And friends reprove, and guests repine,
That Water must be quaffed for Wine
The sged saw joyless life
Hang glooming DER the welded pair,
And sorrow, wretchedness, and strife,
Foretokened by a want so rare.
The bride was sad-the bridegroom frowned
And dashed his goblet on the ground
When 10 there came Guest Divine,
And turned their Water into Wine!
And thus it is that they are blest
Who thus their souls in wedlock plight
They bid the self same Heavenly Guest,
They ask his presence, power, and light.
Then, though the storms of life may lower,
And sorrow darken many an hour,
That overlapping Guest Divine,
still turns their Water into Wine
But they who rush profanely on
Who lightly speak the solemn vow,
Nor ask, nor wish, the Living One,
Their hearts with riches tn endow-
Though pleasures torch moment stream,
'Tis but an Ignis Fatuus CLEAN
Their lamps OF joy shall bri, fly burn,
Their Wine shall into Waer urn!
Then fill the goblet Drumming high,
And proudly pass the nectar round,
To kiss soft lips OF rosiest dye,
And be with mirth and glainess crowned
The sweet, the cold, the crystal draught,
With blessed omens shall be quaffed,
While earth and heaven alike shall shine,
And turn Life's Water into Wine
