Of March, Mrs. Pughstarted alone, on horse.
back to visit her relations on Yellow creek,
there being no roads at this early day, Mrs.
Pugh undertook to follow a blind path,
through the woods, from her husbands res.

in Brown tpp and thence along the head
waters Of Pipes Run, across the summit to
Yellow creek.
A slight snow had fallen the night be-
fore she started, and the path, difficult to
find at best, was traced with the utmost
difficulty, by one not accustomed to roam
ing through the woods. A party Of hun.
ters had built a camp IN the fall, at a spring

selmen, living Hear where New Harrisburgh
now stands, started early this morning for
a hunt in the direction Of the aforesaid
camp, and striking the path Mrs. Pugh

followed it for some distance, and seeing
the track Of some game, they went in pur-
suit oft. Mrs. Pugh following after them,
did not discover the point at which they
left ths path, and being some what bewil.

vicinity and started 10 search of the mis-.

melted and although tracks could be found
in the leaves and mud, yet they crossed
and recrossed each other so often that il
was impossible to follow them with any
degree of certainty. The first day passed

their homes to renew the search upon the
coming day.
The next day the news spread through
the entire neighborhood around, and al
most every one turned out to assist in the
search, and with the most painful anxiety
traced every track and sign of the missing

Such matches are not made in Heaven
Last week the young and disappointed
bride pretended to make visit some dis

up her effects and left her husband forever
having gone West with a relative. Here

WooD's HAIR REsToRATIvE.-This

one of the few patent medicines which are
now sold over the country, that are really
what their inventors claim for them
Wherever it hss had fair trial, the re-
suit has been precisely as Wood predicts.
II has never failed to turn the white hair
back to the natural color, whore the direc'
tions have been strictly followed, and in
numerous cases it has restored the hair up
on heads that had been bald for years.
It is not pretended that it will make tho.
hair grow in every case, but where it fails
there is certainly no remedy. The restor-
alton Of the hair has been effected in so
many instances where the case seemed Ut
terly hopeless, that it is certainly wolth

Visitation and Search.

In state of war between Great Britain
and France, an English man of war. hav-
ing the right to capture French vessels,
may ascertain whether a vessel carrying
American colOrs is French or not. This
we understand to be conceded, and the
right of visitation, in the case supposed, is
called belligerant right.
Now. under treaties between Great Bri-
tain and France, an English man of war
may capture French vessels, but the ques.
tion is raised, if they may ascertain by
visitation whether vessel carrying Amer
ican colors is French or not.
Without, at present, saying anything
about the right Of visitation in either case,
we insist that If it exists in one case, it
does in the other, and that there is no diff
ference whatever between them.
1t is said that, although anybody may
arrest robber or murderer, it is done at
the peril of the srresting party, who must
be responsible in damages, ifthe arreseed
party proves to be an innocent man.
This is common sense, and 1t is good law,
aud It furnishes an answer to all the clamoF
of the pettifoggers and demagoges in re-
spect to the so>calleI right of visitation.
A vessel, really American, interrupted
or in any wise damnified by a visitation,
is entitled to all the actual damages which
result from the visitation, no matter in how
good faith the visisation was made. The
cruiser who makes the visitation, does il
OF this peril, but at no other. The case
supposed is not case for exemplary ol
penal damages, but only for actual dana
ges. Still less. it is not case for war
good faith being supposed. The utmos
which Daniel Webster could make of it
when doing bis best to cater to Southern
sensibilities and national vanity, was sin
voluntary trespass," and certainly an sin
voluntary trespass" is sorry pretext fOl

as you proceed, till the cask is about three-fourths
Iun; then place some thin fat stones (not Iimesfones)
on top, and the filter is complete.
The water being poured in on top, passes thro' the
the gravel and charcoal, by which it is purified, and
enters the chamber from which it is drawn by the
faucet, as required; the small pipe admitting air into
the chamber to supply the place Of the water while it
is being drawn out.
This filter is only designed for rain or soft water,
and will serve for constant use a year or more without
renewal; but If used for hard water, the charcoal soon
loses Its virtue. When first put up, the water drawn
from the filter will have an alkaline taste, which dis
appears in a day or two.
