vs.. fln Chancery. Oc-
Ann Eliza Moore. tobcr End, 1856.
TNllE object of this suit is to obtain
Il decree divorcing the complainant and
defendant, vinculo matrimoni.
The Bill states that the complainant who
removed from the city ofPhladelphia to the
State Of Maryland in the autumn of 1850.
where he has been residing ever since, was
manicd in the year 1872 to the defendant,
then and now residing in said city; that he
lived on good terms with her for several
years, treating her with uniform kindness and
affection, when she began to desert his house
occasionally and be absent for four or five
weeks at time, and continued to act until
the month of July in the year 1913, when
she finally abandoned him, having never re-
turned since, that this abandonment, which
has now continued unlntcrruptedly for about
ID years, was deliberate and is final, and the
separation between the complainant and her
is beyond any reasonable expectation of re-
Cancellation; that the complainant has reason
tn believe, and does believe and charges,
that the defendant was guilty of adultery on
several occasions before she took her final
departure from his House.
1t is therefore adjudgcd and ordered, that
the complainant by causing copy of this
order 80 he inserted in some ncwspapcr
published in Cecil county, once week, for
one month before the fifth day of November
next. give notice to the said absent deten-
dant OF the object and substance of this Bill.
and warn her to appear in this court, in per-
son or by solicitor, on or before the sixth dav
of February next, to answer the premises and
shcw cause, if any she has, why u decree
ought not to pass as prayed.

A JIM CRow.-We find in the New
Orleans Creole, of the ird the following
paragraph: Mr.. IIise, one Of the Democratic
electors for the State of Kentucky. has been
proved to have advocated, in 1859. the pro-
rricty of calling Convention. and stated
that his great solictudc was to amend the
constitution so as to set the slave free. That
he believed, in proportion to the number of
free negroes, they were as respectable as the
whites, and that they would be as respcsta-
bic if they were all free. He further stated
that, ifthc negroes were freed in less than
fifty years he believed we would all be
without distinction of color, and he wished to
God it was the case.
These are the men who lead the Democracy
at the South to-day.

TINES CnANGEs.-The inventors of Steam.

TINES CHANGES. -The inventors Of Steam
power, Railroads, and machinery have dur
ing this century changed the means and
coarscs of living, while the discoveries Of
science have done even more for the advance
ment of human happiness and the emeliora-
ton of human suffering. Our fnrcfathers
when they were sick. drank their bitter drugs
that did not cure, and bowed them down
under diseases that are now easily broken
They tried crude roots and herbs. which fail
cd them. Now scientific research has dis
covered that this peculiar property of one
root and that Of another was required. 1t is
through this light and on this principle Dr.
AVER has compounded his two great rem
cdics-Chcrry Pastoral and Cathartic Pills
lie has concentrated the curative virtues Of our
b, st vegetable remedies. The result shows
their origin and their results are know through
this community. Mark the difference to pa
tient in the LAPSE Of fifty years. Then he
swallowed his bitter pill in vain: now the
sick man takes his sugared Pill or honied
Drop and SION is we'll again. Those adapta-
tons of the sciences which bear upon the
$, curty or the comforts of human life are
after all the tangible points of their vantage
to man. without thcm it matters little how
much may be discovered. or what we know
since it is unavailable To our necessities and
use. -Eutcra Literary Rcriew.

to the Mcrrmac, says:
The American steam frigate Mcrrimac,
now living off Southampton, has created
sensation in this country-wc would not be
far wrong in saying that in certain quarters
she has produced panic. The aristocracy
and hunkey-hood of England had no concep-

Europe which has vessel which can COM

FILLMORE GAINING GROUND Ills PRos-
pECT BRIGHrENING.-To the discerning OBJ
server of political events it is perfectly patent
that the tide of popular sentiment is turning
in strong and irresistible currents in favor of
Mr., Fillmore. We have cheering news from
the great States of New York and Kentucky.
and iif fact it is now absolutely certain that
they with their forty-sevcn electoral votes,
are safe for our gallant leader. From many
other States. North and South. we have
equally as encouraging account. The "sober
second thought" of the people is awakening
them to the conviction that the only hope of
the country and of republican liberty rest in
the election of Mr. Fillmore: and his chances
for success are bIightning and increasing with
every hccting moment. These cheering cvi.
dcncc of the great and tremendous reaction in
public sentiment arc confined to no particular
section or State but are visible throughout
the length and breadth of he country; and
we hail them with unaffected delight as.thc
sertain augurics of returning permanent peace
to our distracted and endangered Republic -
Let the spirit and activity Thlch now prevail
among the ranks of the Fillmore men he kept
up until the day of election, and we have a
