EPILEPSY, OR FALLING FITs-We be
lieve we cannot do our readers more
important service, than by again calling
their attention to that most remarkable
preparation, discovered by Dr. Seth S
Hance, of Baltimore, Md, which possess.
es the power of alleviating and curing
that horrid visitation of man-Epilepsy OF
Falling Fits. In recommending this pre-.
paration to our readers, we do so with a
conviction that we are not degrading our
columns to puff common patent medi-
cine, but are placing before them dis.
covery, which, if fully known, would
probably do more to alleviate human suf.
feringthan any invent on of modern times
Dr. Hance, in asking US to notice his pre-.
paration favorably in our editorial depart
ment, has sent us for perusal number ol
letters from persons who have used his
Pills, and have been cured thereby
All of them speak in the most grateful
and eulogistic terms. One great advan-
tage this medicine possesses is the fact,
that it can be transported through the
mails, thereby affording every one an op-
portuntiy of dealing directly with the in
ventor, and also precluding all possibility
of being imposed on by a counterfeit or
spurious imitation.
DR.. Hance pays the postage on his
Pills to any part of the country. and will
forward them by return of mail, on the
receipt of a remittance. His prices are
as follows: One box, So; two do, SIS;
twelve do, $24 All orders for the medi-
cine should be addressed to Seth s Hance

few days before, having been detained al

eulogistic notice of Mr.. Cory appeared

Hon. WM. CoRRY.-We are gratifed
to see that this gentlemen appears in his
seat in the House OF Representatives,
He shows some traces of the severe
and dangerous disease by which he was
treated, but he has SO far recovered as
to be able to give attention to his duties
until the close of the session and indeed
that his health will be thoroughly reno
vated and restored. This is good news

arrested, and most Of them lodged in the
Franklin county Jail. With few excep-
tions, they were employees of the road
in inferior capacities. and hence the facili-
ty with which the gang took goods from
the cars. Their names we have not
learned.
The work is still going on, and many
more arrests will be made. AS we learn
they formed regular organized compa-
ny, the principal depot being at Black
Hand. By some means Pickerel was de-
tected, and from his acts sufficient were
elected to arrest others of the gang.
1t is lucky circumstance that the
Road has been enabled TO ferret out the
| matter. Much blame has been attached
to them for want of care, and they have
been compelled to pay heavy losses
Now, it is to be hoped, when the ranks o
the employees are pruned. the homes
ones will receive more p aise.
When all the arrests are made, W.
shall give a list of the guilty parties

ST. VALENTINES DAY THE .ilzustri.
ous anniversary of St. Valentines Day,
being just at hand, an account of its ori.
gin, as connected with its peculiar rites
and observances, may not be .uninterest-
ing to a portion of our readers, at least.
ST. VALENTINE is called by some &c.
clesiastical writers Bishop, but, according
to others, was only presbyter He suf,
fered martyrdom in the reign of the Ro-
man Emperor Claudius II. about fifty
years fterChrist, having been beheaded at
Rome, and was early canonized. In A.
D.. "a Claudius was poisoned by his
second wife Agrippina (mother Of Nero)
at the age of SO. ST. VALENTINE was SO
eminently distinguished for his love and
charity, that the custom of choosing Val
entines, or special loving friends, on his
day (Feb. l4) is supposed by some to
have originated from thence. Others
deduce it from the birds choosing their
mates on that day; but it is more likely to
be corruption of practice during the
Roman Latpercalia, when the name of
young women were put into box, and
drawn out by the young men.
The LuPERcAlIA was yearly festival
observed at Rome the IA of February in
honor of the PAN, surnamed LupERcus,
