PETER CARTwRIGHT-The venerable Peter
Cartwright, the pioneer preacher of the West,
was member of the late Democratic State
Convention of Illinois. The Springfield cores
pondent of the Missouri Republican thus writes
of him.
This Peter Cartwright is none other than
the celebrated old pioneer preacher, whose name
is as familiar all over the country as household
words !; the same man whose autobiography has
been sold all over the country by thousands
We saw the old gentleman this afternoon in the
County Convention He looks hale and hearty.
and as if he would live a hundred years longer
We believe he is now eighty years old He will
be greeted by hundreds of old friends when the
State Convention meets, for he is well acouaint-
ed all over the State. A good story was told
about the old gentleman during his attendance
on the Methodist Conference, which met in one
of the Eastern cities few years since he put
up at one of the large hotels, and at night was
shown to his room, which happened to be quite
high up in the building, and accessible by a
long winding staircase. After reaching his room
be hallowed in a loud voice, sufficient to arouse
the inmates Of the hotel, after this manner
Landlord, l say, landlord bring me a hatchet
Upon the landlord making his appearance and
inquiring what he wanted with the hatehed.-
/ Bring me hatchet,' said the old preacher,

find my way down when want to-.

4This House to be sold.y

For his benefit, at Burton's Theatre, Mr..
Brougham brought out lively piece de circon-
stance entitled :. This House to be Sold of
which the following amusing account is given by
a correspondent of the Philadelphia CITY Item
"Before the curtain rose Mr. Brougham came
in front and made short speech, asking the in
dulgence of the public in favor of the author of
the coming piece, as he was personal friend of
his (Brougham's) he then proceeded to recite
the prologue, at the conclusion of which Mr..
Brougham was interrupted by Moore (stage
manager) beckonng him to come behind the
curtain, which he did. After few minutes
absence, Mr.. Brougham came again before the
curtain, and stated that some of the delicate
machinery used in the performance of this piece
had been accidentally broke but he hoped it
could he repaired in a few minutes. Hearing
this, Mr.. Moore came out, and said that Mr..
Brougham had wilfully misstated the facts; that
the delicate machinery spoken ofby Mr.. Brough
am was one of the principal actors, who had just
arrived at the theatre in such a state of after
dinnerness that he could not play his part"
TCres of Name himl" "Who is he ~ and
(which one ?" from all parts of the house.
Mr. Moore then added, that at Mr.. Burtons
request, Mr.. Brougham had kindly consented to
fll the delinquents place. but before he had
finished speaking Brougham, in 4 high state of
excitement, rushed out and denied having offered
his services Suddenly, the curtain was hoisted
half way up, displaying carpenters at work, set
ting the stage; actors rehearsing their parts;
supes laying the carpets-all of which fled on
the instant, amid cries Of y Ring down ring
down !" and general Kisses from the audience
Mr.. Wolcot next came forward and, said that
che wished the public to aadar=taasi ftl.e. rsllat
Mr.. Moore had said concerning him was false;
that he never was in state of-after- -dinnerness;
that he had been an actor in New York for many
years." &c. r. Hear him hear him "1 Mr.
Moore then said that " he mentioned no names,
that he had not even limited" &c. An old gen.
tleman in the parquette arose and asked Mr..
Moore if he intended to go with the perform
ance, or not; if not, he would demand the re-
turn of his money at the box office, (the audi
ence here recognizing the voice of the grey
haired gentleman to be that of Mark Smith, now
for the first time began to take.') Mr.. Burton
was then sent for, and appeared the author
(Brougham dsguised) having obtained posses
sion of the Ms made speech from one of the
boxes; grey-haired old gentleman in the par
quette elected from the house by police officer;
fashionable gentleman (Brougham again) very
talkative in opposite stage box; Mark Smith
enters with clothing generally in very ragged
condition, and so the PIECE (?) continues to the
end. There is no mistake about it % the house
was SOLD :" completely sold.
John Brougham made capital speech after
wards topping off" the joke.

BsS@ NJ Herman, the celebrated conjurer
went into hair-dresser's shop in Brussels, on
April day, and begged to be shaved. All the
male hands being engaged, the ba.ber's wife
offered to ofiiciate, and did So But, in the mid
die of the operation, NJ. Herman expressed dis
content, and said he would finish the process
himself So taking the razor from-tte woman
hand, he stood up, and to the utter terror of all
present, cut his throat apparently from ear to
ear. Some bystanders rushed to him. whilst
others ran for surgeons and police but to their
utter astonishment, N. Herman turned round
quietly asked what they all meant by the uproar
and showed his neck free from scratch, and the
shirt spotless The hair-dresser was so fright
ened that he fell down in swoon, and half his

cold Sands of Life" whom we noticed a
short time since, it will be seen from the follow

withstanding his sands have all along been
rapidly running out. We opine that his sands
will continue for some time yet to come, unless
it fortunately happens that he should die out
with :" the old man employed to personate him.
THE RETIRED PHYSICIAN AND HIS SANDS OF
LIFE.-A letter was received last week by the
Mayor of Jersey City, from a citizen of 0nonda-
ga county, y. Y, in reference to the operations
Of Old Doctor James The following mode of
operation was explained in detail You enclose
him one shilling and he will send the recipe ;
but after you have got it, you will discover an
article in ii that you cannot obtain, and so YOU
must send to him for the medicine ready pre-
pared at two dollars bottle 1t purports to be
= extract of caHHabls uidica, or a preparation
not widely different from the hqsheesh of the
East-an article of questionable value in con-
sumptiye disease, and certainly not warranung
the price charged, except as it may contribute a
few more sands to the depleted c,mui,ts alrea-
dy on the brink of exhaustion.
"Mayor Wescott promptly replied that there is
no such person as Old Doctor James in Jer-
sey City, but that old man is employed to
personate him; and that the whole affair is un-
derStood to be an imposition

Invigorating Cordial sanguifer.

ITO MANY THIS MAY SEEM ENTRAYA-
i CANT praise of this concoction, but if they
could see, as ] have, the many whom this has
restored to health, they would not be surprised
at any language in its praise. To offer more
certificates is useless at least eighty have al
ready been published, and only the thick headed
self-wise sceptic and unbeliever can doubt that
it is the most blessed health-restorer and
strength-giver ever invented by man. Itrestores
and permanently inyigorates the broken-down
system. Nay, more; it replaces natural weak
ness with strength. The desponding it revives,
the feeble it endows with yigor, and the cheer
fulness and strength which it restores or ere
ates it preserves.
| will now enumerate a few of the diseases
where | have seen DIR. Webber's Invgorating
Cordial act most beautifully: General Derdnge-
n1eat Of the System Weakness from uarious causes,
viz Change Of Climate, Long Sickness, the use of
mercury, or being otherwise over-doctored,
from abuse of Nature and her laws, by Drunk
enness GourmandisiAg, De5aachery, and other
excesses; Trembling, Ferer and Ague Chills,
Rheumatie, Neuralgia, and other Pans in the Body
or Limbs, Want Of appetite, Sleep or Memory ;;
Sour or Bilious Stomach Tickling IN the Ears,
Tic Doloreur, ETC., etc.
