CELEBRATED
LIVER { : T
WE beg leave to call the atten-
w ton of the Trade, and more
especially the Physicians of the
country, to two of the most popu-
lar remedies now before the public,
We refer to
Dr.. Chas. M'Lane's Celebrated
Vermifuge and Liver Pills.
We do not recommend them as
universal Cure alls, but simply for
what their name purports, viz:
THE VERMIFUGE,
For expelling Worms from the
human system. 1t has also been
administered with the most SITS
factory results to various An@ls
subject to Worms.
THE LIVER PILLS,
For the cure of LIVER CoMPLAlNTs
all BILIOUS DERANcEMENTs SICK
HEAD-AcHE, &c. In cases of
FEVER AND AGUE,
preparatory to or after taking Qui-
nine, they almost invariably make
speedy and permanent cure.
As specifics for the above men
toned diseases, they are Unrivaled,
and never known to fail when ad-
ministered in accordance with the
directions.
Their unprecedented popularity
has induced the proprletors,
FLEMING Brothers,
PITTSBURGH, Pa.
to dispose of their Drug business,
in which they have been success
fully engaged for the last Twenty
Years, and they will now give their
undivided time and attention to
their manufacture. And being de-
termined that DR.. M'Lane's Cele-
brated Vermifuge and Liver Pills
shall continue to occupy the high
position they now hold among the
great remedies Of the day, they
will continue to spare neither tune
nor expense in procuring the bes
and Purest material, ard CON-
pound them in TIE most thorough
manner. Address all orders 70

LIABILITIES OF EXPRESS CoMPANIEs-The
General Term of the Supreme Court in this
city, made on Saturday last, an important de-
cision, touching the liabilities of Express Com
panies as common carriers. The American Ex-
press Company having lost a number of Mich-
gan State Bonds belonging TO Mr.. Isaac Sher-
man, as they were carrying them from Buffalo
to Detroit, refused to pay for Them on the
ground that express companies are not common
carriers, and are not responsible for articles in
trusted to their charge. The decision pro-
nouneed by Judge Davies, is that the Company
is common carrier, and must accordingly pay
Mr. Sherman for his bonds
\ morning paper justly remarks that this de-
cision is as truly in the interest of the defend
ant as in that of the plaintiff. If it should be
settled that express companies are not answera-
bic for goods left with them for transportation,
their business would at once suffer serious
diminution. Their profits depend on the pub
lie belief in their responsibility.

THE CUBAN IllBROGLIO.

A caucus of democratic senators was held in
Washington, Saturday, on the presidents rec
ommendaton in reference to the acquisition of
Cuba. debate Of three or four hoursin length
ensued involving the question whether any
steps should be taken in relation to it, and if
so, of what character. Mr. Mason made the
opening speech, and was followed by Messrs
Hunter and Shields. Though favorable to the
acquisition of Cuba, they thought action at this
time impolitic, and calculated to impair rather
than to improve our prospects to that end.
MIR. Douglas regarded the appearances as
gloomy, but would support Mr.. Slidel's bill,
placing in the hands of the president $50 1000,
600 to be used in negotiation. He expressed
the belief that the president would not endorse
this measure, without sufficient data to Justify
him in so doing. Mr.. Douglas had long desir-
ed the acquisition of Cuba but in his Judgment
there was only one mode of proceeding, and
that was, on the happening of another case sim
liar to that of the Black Warrior, to seize the
island by way of reclamation and negotiate af
terward.
Mr.. Davis and Others did not like the sugges-
ton OF Mr.. Douglas. The discussion at this
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1859-01-22

lent opportunity is afforded for every man to
express his opinions upon matters with which
he is conversant and thus acquire the habit Of
speaking to the purpose, and therefore Of speak
ing well.
For these reasons We cannot but believe that
the organizations of farmers clubs, lyeeums
and weekly meetings, by whatever name they
may be called, in every town in this county, in
the State, and throughout New England would
not only increase the material products and
profits of the farm, but would also add to the
knowledge and promote the happiness of the
farmer, and elevate his calling in the minds of
his sons and daughters. In all other depart
mcnts of industry much higher standard of
requirement is now required. With the multi
plication of books and newspapers knowledge
is being more widely diffused The agrcultu-
rist must keep pace with this march of improve
ment or he will have to mourn the fact that
when he leaves the farm it is with "no son of
his succeeding"

Madrid telegram OF the LIST instant to the Lon
don Daiiy Ne'cs, says eThc ministry declare
that Spain will never sell Cuba, and protest
against the insulting hypothesis 10 the contrary
implied in the American Presidents message"
1t Is rumorcd that a proposition for the sale
of Sonora and chihuahua has been received
from the Mexican president AIiramon, the price
to be sixteen millions of dollars. 1t is so much
easier to steal from Mexico than Spain that the
administration will probably not entertain this
offer.

VERMONT HIsToRICAL SocIETY.-Some time
since we received from friend a pamphlet of
~ pages, containing an address delivered be-
fore the Vermont Historical Society, Oct 20,
1885, in the presence of the General Assembly
Of the State, by Rev. PLINY II. WHITE, on the
Essay on the Marbles of Vermont, by ALBERT
D. IIAGAR, Esq, Assistant State Gcologist.
MATTHEW Lyon was an eccentric character
an Irishman by birth, possessed of much ma
tive energy and shrewdness, some education,
and "A sanguine, pusnacions disposition. He
settled in Arlington, in Bennington County
represented that town in the General Assembly
in 1919. lie was fifteen years in the Lcgisa-
ture of Vermont. He was also member of
Congress in 1897. Mr.. LYON was rare, UNI
ique character, and it seems to us that Mr..
WHITE deserves credit for the ability, research
and fathfulness manifested in his Address.
The Marbles of Vermont is q very instructive
and useful dissertation on an Interesting subject.
Mr.. HAGAR divides the Marbles of Vermont
into six distinct classes, viz "The Verd Antique,
or Roxbury Marble; the Dun Colored, or Swan
ton; the Isle La Mott; the Variegatcd, of Ply
mouth the Winooski and Mosaic. of Colches-
ter, and the Vermont Marble of Rutland and
Bennington Counties.
We commend both papers to the attention of
our citizens, as containing things both new an
old
