the following little sermon from the pen

AN ASTONISHING MAN.

Famed Throughout the World.-New York
and London are now the great manufacturing
depots for Holloway's Pills and Ointment
From No. 80 Maiden Lane this city, and No.
244 Strand, London, are sent forth, daily,
millions of boxes and pots of these inestima-
BILE medicines. The heavy duty imposed by
our government upon patent medicines, and
the large and constantly increasing sale of
Holloway's Pills and Ointment in this coun-
try, determined their proprietor to make this
city his residence. Our republican system of
government is also in harmony with the pre-
dilections Of Professor Holloway; and thong oh
Kings and Emperors have conferred upon
him honors and especial fayors, these will
never be So gratifying to him as the grateful
hearts of millions of free citizens, who with
out any endorsement of sovereign authority,
freely patronize his celebrated remedies for
the prevention and removal of disease.
As member Of the medical faculty, hav-
ing long witnessed the incficiency Of the pre-
fession in curing disease, and being familiar
with the errors and follies of the profession,
we feel it an imperative duty to acquaint the
American public with the arrival Of this dis
tinguished physician in our city. His fame,
in a measure, preceded him to our shores, but
the extent of the good he has done in the
American public. Great as his reputation is,
it is destined to increase far beyond that
which ever adorned the character Of any man
whose profession was that of healing the
sick
We shall embrace other occasions to ex-
plain to the American people the Systens, the
theory and mode of cure adopted by Professor
Holloway. His Pills and Ointment, the one
taken internally, and the other applied exter-
nally act in harmonious con junction, and il
his directions are followed, will eradicate ev-
cry disease incident to man in all cIimes.-
They purify and cleanse the body, and resture
healthy action in every organ. Our space
will not permit us to say more at this time
respecting this distinguished man and his
celebrated remedies. lie has one ambition.
and it is an honorable one. He wishes to
have the world for patient; and he will sue
ceed in his desire.
1t is our object to address the American
public in series Of articles, showing conclu-
siYely that, in the whole history Of medical
science, no medicines have ever been offered
for their use which are So efFicacious in restu-
ring health and preventing disease rs those
Of Professor Holloway. In this series Of ar
ticles we shall necessarily explain much Ci
the human system, and those physiological
laws Of life controlling our bodies, both in
health and disease. The American public
are sufficiently Intelligent 10 Judge CT their
interests, and it is 30 longer IN the power Of
those styling themselves regular plys;cians
to conceal from them important truths con.
ccrning their health.-Neoo Ior& Cjfizcn.

Pennsylvania Raiiroad Company.-By an
advertisement it will be seen that a second
dividend Of four per cent has been declared
to the stockholders, and those residing in this
county are requested TO call at the Banking
House of VIM Russell, with their certificates,
to receive their dividends. The object Of this
is we believe to settle up the interest account,
some Of which still remains uncallsd for and
issue new certificates to the holders of tho
stock.
ThisdiYidend, remarks the Lancaster Wing,
"proves what we have always said of this
road, that it is one Of the most important and
best managed roads in our country. Mr..
Thompson, its President, possesses many
qualifications not enjoyed by the Presidents
of railroads generally. With practical skill
he unites unusual foresight and prudence,
and selfreliance that cannot be moved by in
fuences that often lead men in such positions
astray. He is seconded in his management
by an able Board Of Directors, and by able
and energetic assistants. We do not believe
that there is another railroad corporation in

ArYival Of Major Ben: Rsrley POore at Bos-
ton, acith his Barrel Of Apples.-Major Ben:
Perley Poore, the late Fillmore candidate for
Congress in the Sixth District, arrived in Bos-
ton on the 7th, with his wheel barrow and
barrel of apples-which he had wheeled all
the way from West Newbury, distance of
thirty six miles, in two and half days. The
Job was in fulflment of bet with Col. Bur
bank, the Fremont State Senator elect, that
Fillmore would get more votes in Massachu-
setts than Fremont. The Major, wheeling
his apples, was escorted up State street about
2 o'clock, by the Fillmore Clubs of Boston
and Charlestown, military company and a
mounted cavalcade Of citizens. The novelty
of the performance collected many thousands
of the people, and the Major was greeted with
tremendous and tumultuous applause on all
sides lie delivered the apples to Col. Bur
bank on the steps of the fremont House,
when both gentlemen delivered congratulate
ry speeches, mounted on the barrel. Ten
thousand people were present.

a9rThe St. Paul (Min.) Pioneer, of the
23d ult,, s:-"Immense is the destruction
of property this year by fires in the woods,
and on the prairies and meadows. We hear
the amount Of hay consumed estimated at q
thousand tons. In the rear of this city, up
and down Rum river, all around Minnetonka,
through the Big Woods, out about Glencoe
and Hutchison, and in parts Of the Minneso-
ia Valley, the fires have done heavy damage;
and the atmosphere over an extensive area
has been so smoky as to darken the sun"

Hon. JOHN VI. CLAYTON, L. S. Senator
frcm the State of Delaware, died last Sun
day evening at his residence in that State,
after long illness, the fatal termination of
which has for some time been anticipated.
Mr.. Clayton was native of Delaware,
and has, throughout the greater part of a
life that had extended through nearly three
score wears and ten, been intimately con
necled with the public affairs Of that State.
He has been elected three times to repre-
sent her in the L. S. Senate-frst from
1929 to 1885, secondly from I845 to 1851,
and the last time for the term beginning
March 4, 1853, which would not expire
until March 3, 1859. Mr.. Clayton was
appointed Secretary of State by President
Tavor, on the 9Th of March, IS49, and
continued to administer that office with
decided ability until General Taylor
death, July 9th, 1850, his resignation hav-
ing been sent in on the succeeding day
Mr.. Clayton was an active politician of
the conservative school. He was warm,
Jealous and much valued friend of Henry
Clay. In private and in public life, he
has been highly esteemed by all parties,
and although not a man of remarkable
brilliancy, his death will be lamented by
all who admire patriotism, zeal and fidelity
to the hest interests of the country.
BY the death of Mr.. Clayton the new
Democratic Legislature, of Delaware, will
have a second United States Senator tc
elect.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.

TIE Poor HoUsE.-By a notice in ane ther
column it will be seen that the directors IN
vite proposals for the Stewardship Of the
Poor House and separate proposals for rent
ing the farm on shares. The latter is un-
doubtedly the correct course as regards the
farm, but We have some doubts as to the pre-
priety Of the former. We believe far better
plan would be to appoint some sympathizing,
trustworthy and competent man to the stew
ardship, pay him him literally enough to
make it the interest Of himself and matron to
perform their duties faithfully, and we have
no doubt the Almshouse would soon become.
what it ought to be, an asylum to the poor
and unfortunate. Their condition it is true
is often the result of their own mismanage-
ment and misdoings, but that is no reason
why they should be either neglected or treat
ed harshly. Were He who tempers the wind
to the shorn lamb-who causes the rain to
fall on the possessions of the just and unjust
to judge US by the same standard we too
often judge the inmates Of almshouses, there
would be some fearful retributions where
there is now fanced security.
EsCAPE.-Two prisoners, George Smith and
q colored man who had both been sentenced
to the penitentiary for three years, were con-
fined in cell of the new jail, and with the
aid of chisel managed to break through the
brick wall on Monday night, and although
hobbled thus escaped The jail Is still in an
unfinished state, and having once effected
passage into the hall there was no further
impedment to their flight. As no trace
whatever of their whereabouts can be found,
it is strongly suspected that some outsiders
assisted both their escape and concealment.

propounded on all sides # |
What is TO be done!" Al
who has been true TO a union or@m
sition, seems TO feel that there is strength
in this State which if combined would
carry with it more certain defeat to the
self-styled democracy than any other Or
ganization, and is willing to second any
project that will combine that strength
One of our cOtemporarles proposes that
the Americans and Republicans in this
State unite together under the name of
American Republicans, hold county and
other meetings for the purpose of such an
organization, and call a State Convention
for the nomination of candidate for Gov
crnor, &c. There is some wisdom in this
suggestion, though if such State Con
vention should be called for the purpose
of deIberating on the formation of union
of this kind, care must be taken that the
wolves in sleeps clothing, who in the
last campaign played the part of traitors,
be excluded from it. The difference be-
tween genuine Americanisrn and true Re
publicanism is not SO great as to prevent
determination, for nine out of ten of each
are more or less imbued with the main
PRINCIPLES of both.

4 TjIe C0quette.-A piece of perfdy is re-
lated of bride at St, Joseph's, Mo-, which
has happily not often a parallel. 1t seems
that two young men were addressing young
belle up town, and that she smiled equally
upon both. At 9 a. m. one bridegroom was
made happy by her pledge of hand and heart
Ind at p. m the other was made happy by
pssession of her person. They fled at
yS, and were welded at Bloomington, just
&elve miles distant, and continued on their
way to realms unknown.
