strength of the pulse. AS SO many children die
from these diseases in this country, this remedy
ought to receive fair trial from the profession

THE CoLoRADoOF THE WEsT.-Lieut. Ives
of the Typographical Engineers, has pre-
pared a prelimary report of the Colorado Of
the West, which will probably appear with
the report of the Secretary of War. The ex-
pedition was a highly successful one, and
the results are of an important character
He ascended that river in a steamboat three
hundred miles, and considers the navigation
practicable for that distance, for steamers of
light draught. 1t is thought that the open
ing of this river will develop an economical
avenue of transportation to large portions of
New Mexico, California and Utah. The pre-
viously unknown region along the seth par
allel, which is traversed by the Upper Col
erado and its tributaries and the country,
was found to possess such novel and remark
able features as to render the explorations of
the highest interest.

Death of the Venerable Robert owen.


The following is the letter from the Hon.
Robert Dale Owen, to the Manchester
Guardian, giving an account of the last mo-
ments of his venerable father. 1t is dated
Newtown, Montgomery, Nov. II, 1858.
DEAR SHIT is all over. My dear father
passed away this morning, at a quarter be-
fore seven, and passed away as gently and
quietly as if he had been falling asleep.
There was not the least struggle, not a con-
traction of a limb or muscle, not an eX
preston of pain on his face. His breathing
gradually became slower and slower, till at
last it ceased so imperceptibly that even as
l held his hand could scarcely tell when
he ne longer breathed. His last words, dis
tinctly pronounced about twenty minutes
before his death, were, "Relief has come"
About half an hour before he said, every
easy and comfortable"
The last public appearance of Mr.. Owen
was at the late Social Science Congress at
Liverpool. Hestood between Lord Brougham
and Lord John Russell He spoke for a few
minutes, when, his strength failing him, he
was removed to the Victoria Hotel, where
he remained several days. He was accom-
panied by Mr.. Rigby, who has acted as his
Secretary and man of business for the last
thirty years. While at the hotel he express
ed his determination to see his native town,
and started next day, posting from Shrews-
bury, as there was no railway. He only
remained few hours, returning to Liver
pool, and after transacting some business
went back again to Newtown. He told Mr..
Rigby on the way, al shall leave my bones
where | got them" He died at the Boars
Head HOTEL and there is nota single inhab-
liant now alive in the place who was there
when he left it, a child of ten years of age.

ExTRAoEDINARY CoAL-The Parkersburg
(Va.) Ne,os announces the discovery in that
region of a specimen of coal which is said
to far snrpass the Camel Coal The Ne'os
adds:
1t is very light, and can be ignited as east
ly as piece of dry pine wood. 1t is ex-
tremely gaseous and emits very strong
odor when burning. A piece as large as a
small marble placed in the bowl of clay
pipe made air-tight, and then inserted in a
hot fire, gave out gas enough at the end of
the stem to burn with a bright light for FIVE
minutes. 1t evidently could only be used
for making gas or oil, as it has not sfficient
solidity to burn in a CRATE or stove, but
would probably run out though the bars in
a sort of oil or pitch.

nssn The two great antagonistic views of
the ultras of both sections of the country,
are phithily set forth in the speeches of the
great leaders, Senators Seward, of N. Y,
and Davis of Miss. Seward takes the po-
sitiOn that slavery and free labor are in
deadly confictand that all the States of the
Unon must necessarily become slave, or all
free States. Senator Davis, on the other
hand, assumes that the Constitution carries
slavery into all the Territories and that
Congress is bound to pass latOs protecting 1t
so long as they remain in a Territorial ca
pacity

LOTTERY Broken UP-The detective po-
lice in Philadelphia, after much labor, have
succeeded in breaking up lottery establish
ment and capturing their whole paraphe-
MALTA. The following description of the scene
that ensued when the arrests were made, is
taken from the Press.
When ;he officers reached the establish
ment and entered with one of the exchange
clerks, scene followed which beggars des-
cription. Cries of murder were raised by
the alarmed and highly-terrifed, and doubt
less guilty men, but the officers, nolens col
ems, hastily secured them. They found on
the premises about thirty thousand dollars
worth of lottery tickets, books, schemes,
and all the modes Operandi for carrying on
an extensive, and to them, highly profitable
business. They were the agents for the
Patapsco Belle Air, and Roanoke lottery
companies. E .-..H
