RELIABLE EVIDENCE OF BU-

While we rcpudiato quackery, we arc always
pleased to give credit for that v itch is truly
full, and to give information, which may benefit
others. a few days ago brother of ours from
Norway, Me-, came into our Office, in comfortable
health, whom we did not expect to see again on
earth. We rceeivcda letter few weeks since,
from another brother, resident in the house with
him, saying that he was confined to his bed, and
could not probably continue but short time.
Judge then of our surprise whom we saw him enter
our Office. He has slight cough remaining, it
would he natural that he should have, until he has
had further time for acquiring strength of lungs
But he is in comfortable health. The following
letter which he addresses to the general Boston
Agent for the medicine which has restored him SO
wonderfully, will show what medicine has been
the instrument of the good work.

DR. u. T. BRApLEE-SIR-I cannot refrain
from saying word to you in commendaton of
"Buchan's Hungarian Balsam of Life" Here is
plain statement of facts in relation to my case,
and if they of any service in inducing the sick
to seek relief at the source from whence obtained
it, | shall be thankful
My residence is in Norway, Me. Three years ago
last fall, took violent cold which left cough
of the most aggravated kind, accompanied by II
severe pain in the left side. Last June | had be-
come so feeble that was obliged to quit all work,
and was confined to the house until about four
week since. During that time | received the best
medical attendance and tried nearly all the medi-
cincs which are recommended in such eases, but
could find no relief, but grow worse, and for the
last three weeks confined to my bed. Two of
my physicians gave me up ms past recovery. But
rs fortune would have it, | heard of the Hungar
ian Balsam, and Immediately procured bottle
This gave me instant relief, and six bottles have
broken up my cough, and placed me in situation
to resume, with advancing health, my usual occu-
patton. Yours, truly,

Important Dec ision.

At q recent term of the District Court ol
Licking county, an important suit in which
the corporation of Newark was plaintiff and
Benj. Elliott Gilbert Brady and Samuel
Wine gardner, were defendants, was brought
to close after two previous hearings. Ihe
point in controversy was the defendants lia.
bility for the sum Of $4,000 the amount ol
a note given by the celebrated A. J. Smith
to the corporation Of Newark, and on which
the name of defendants appeared as security
The liability of Smith to the corporation
had been created by the purchase OF oil sale
Corporations stock in the Newark Plank
Road Company. The plea set up by de.
PENDANTS was the fact that Smiths purpose
in buying said stock was to enable him tc
perfect arrangements for doing an illega
banking business, and that this purpose was
known to the Corporations agent at the time
said sale was made. Proof Of this guilty
knowledge was nude to the satisfaction Of
the jury, and. under the charge of.the court
verdict was rendered in favor of the defend,
ants. The case was ably conducted on
both sides-Jerome Buckingham, Esq, and
Judge Thurman representing the interest.

will be increased by from Oregon and 8

opinion. We impute this premature dis

on that side, each being apprehensive thai
the others will get the advantage Of them
in the preliminary canvass. The Boston
1rareller has an elaborate article, in which
the expediency Of nominating Fremont
again is forcibly argued. The N. Y. Er
press dissents from the conclusion to which
the Traveller arrives, and insists that Col
Fremont is one of the weakest men that the
opposition could bring out; and adds-"thert

Report OF the CommIttec.


76ths Editor Of PorfaSs Eentiaes
SrR--AmOng the many inventions 10 "a
eilitate labor in agriculture, there is none Of
more importance, and at the present time,
attracting greater attention, than machinery
for cutting grass and grain, and as there area
variety Of machines manufactured for that
purpose, differing materially in many points,
the question naturally arises: What one is
the best adapted to the wants Of the farmerl
With view of affording 10 those interest
ed an opportunity to judge for themselves, in
this respect, moving match was held on
the farm of G. H. R. Prindle, in RootstOwn,
on Thursday, the 1st inst.
Seven different machines were entered for
trial, viz: Aliens, Balls, Kerby's, Aultman
g. Co.'S, Vets & BOnny's, Fishers and
Howell's. The field, bearing heavy growth
OF red clover, and some timothy grass, was
divided into lots OF equal dimensions, and as
signed to the several mowers. A committee
to decide upon the merits Of the machines
was appointed, consisting of Eli P. King
Lydia Underwood, J. Mansfield, A. Baldwin
and ]. A. Holden. The trial proved highly
interesting and satisfactory to the large
number present from various parts Of the
C ounty, and showed to demonstration that
grass can be cut in perfect manner by ma
chinery and horse power.
The Committee, however, in order more
fully to view the work accomplished, derferet
their decision until the hay should be re-
moved from the field. Accordingly they mel
on Saturday, the 10th inst, and after exam
ination, made the following report:
We, the undersigned, having been appoint,

do give it us our opinion, that in respect

OF Physicians recommend mutton as the
most wholesome meat, the easiest digested
and best suited to invalids, while pork, as
everybody knows, is the most unhealthy
flesh eaten. Our people eat too much pork
and too little mutton. And yet mutton can
be produced pound for pound at less than
half the price Of pork, yields more nourish-
ment when eaten, and keeping sheep does
not exhaust farm to the extent that feed
ing hogs does. We should like to see in
the papers fewer accounts of big pigs and
more of fat sheep. a.

excitement at Cumberland, Md,

On Friday evening last, little girl, aged
three years, the daughter of Mr.. John Black
ster, fell into large tank at the Cumber-
land gas works, and was drowned. All eff
forts TO recover the body that evening hav-
ing proved unavailing, the Ctutlian says, at
an early hour the next morning the several
fire engines of the city were stationed on
the ground to draw the water out of the
tank, which is fifty feet in diameter and six
teen feet deep, and was about two.thirds
full of water. All day long were the en-.
eines kept at work, and slowly yet surely
as the water lowered until man could
descend to the bottom. AS soon as this
could. be done, several persons, with varions
ingenuously contrived hooks and grabs, be-
gan searching Tor the child; but, as it could
not be reached by that means, it was evident
that the body was far under the gasometer
and all further efforts were abandoned until
Sunday afternoon, when very large mum.
Der of citizens gathered at the place, and de-
termined to find the body by some means OF
other; but as all that their ingenuity could
invent had been tried, there was then no al
tentative but to blow off the gas contained
in the gasometer. This was at first sup
posed to be attended with some danger, but
gentleman present intimated that be hat
some experience in such matters. and vol
unteered to do the work, which was then al
once begun. The trap door in the top o
the gasometer was removed, and the gas suf
fered to escape. Several persons engaget
at the opening were made insensible from
inhaliDg the gas, but on being removed, sooI
recovered. In about three hours after th'
gasometer was opened, Mr.. George M. Rel
procured long pole, with hook attached
and began searching through the opening
and finally succeeded in recovering the body
This was about six o'clock on Sunday after
noon, the body having remained in the wa
ter forty.eight hours. DnriDg the entir
time of the search, considerable excitemeH
was manifested, and hundreds of people wer
attracted to the spot.
