SIR: Your Cherry Fsctoral is performing marvellous
cures in this section. 1t has relieved several from alarm
ing symptoms of consumption. and is now curing a man
who has labored under an affection Of the lungs for the
last forty years. HENRY l.. PARKS, Merchant.
A. A. RAMSEY, NJ. D., ALHIoN, MONROE Co., iowa,
writes, Sept. 6, 1858: During my practice Of many years
/ have found nothing equal to ynnr Cherry Iecoydl for
giving ease and relief 10 consuinptiye patients, or curing
such as are durable"
We might add volumes of evidence. but the most con-
yincing proof of the virtues Of this remedy is found in its
effects upon trial.
Consumption.
Probably no one remedy has ever been known which
cured so many and such dangerous cases as this. Some
no human aid can reach; but even to those the Cherry
Peet0TaL affords relief and comfort.
AsToR HOUSE, NEW York CRY, March 5, 1856.
Doctor AVER, LOWELL: l feel it a duty and a pleasure
to inform You what your Cherry Pictorial has done for my
wife. She had been five months laboring under the dam
gerous symptoms of Consumption. from which no aid we
could procure gave crunch relief. She was steadily fail
ing. until DR.. Strong. of this city. where we have come for
advice, recommended a trial of your medicine. We bless
his kindness, as we do your skill; for she has recovered
from that day. She is not yet as strong as she used to
be, but is free from her cough. and calls herself well.
Yours with gratitude and regard,

The Civil Appropriation bill will be made,
it is said, the rider for measure authoriz-
ing the issue of Treasury Notes and a loan
for the relief of the Government. Such an
amendment will endanger the bill, and up
on its fate will depend an extra session.
The Army Appropriation bill amounts to
nearly sixteen millions. 1t has been sub
mitted to the Committee on Military Affairs,
and they have cut down various items, the
total reductions being onemillion three hun
dred and forty-one thousand dollars.
A Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune says the first vote of Mr.. Lane,
of Oregon, in the Senate, was significant
The Indiana delegation, with the exception
of Mr.. Wilson, under instructions of their
Legislature, voted him into the United
States Senate. Els first vote in that body
was to vote out of the Senate the Senators

ture. In drawing for terms, Lane got the
longest.

Base Desertion of IA Young Wife.

A case of desertion is exciting considera-
BILE feeling and indignation at the Gait
House. 1t seems that about week ago a
gentlemanly looking man arrived at that
hotel with a lady. They were on bridal
tour, having recently been married in the
State of Tennessee The lady is young,
rather good looking and Intelligent The
couple passed the time as usual, the hus-
band, however, attracting some attention by
an air of bravado which he frequently as
snmed
Last Monday the husband pretended to
become offended at his bride. She endeav-
ored to soothe him, but he pretended to be-
come more enraged. He gave her the let
tiers she had written him before marriage
her daguerreotype, and other presents he had
received from her, and then bidding her
farewell, rushed from the hotel. She sup
posed it was a mere temporary fit of anger,
and that he would return. But he has not
been heard of since. As day after day
passed the young wife became more and
more alarmed, and to-day she is agonized
with grief. Her husband left her without
a cent of money, or any means whatever.
From the circumstances connected with
the marriage of the party, those about the
hotel are induced to believe the husband a
scamp of the frst-water That he has mar
ried this woman merely to crafty an ua-
holy passion, and having succeeded in that,
now cruelty. deserts her, leaving her penni-
less among strangers. The young woman
seems to suspect the same thing, and hence
her, ineonsoiable- agony. The boarders at
the hotel sympathize very strongly with the
unfortunate lady, and in case nothing is
heard of her husband, will readily furnish
her with means to return home.-Cfn.

Hsa. Mr.. Hiram Fuller, for many years
editor of the Eoening Mirror, of New York,
recently went to Europe. In spicy letter
to the New York Times he gives an ac-
count of how the passengers spent their
time during the voyage. Among other en-
tertainments served up was the issue of a
daily Journal called the Asiahc Lottery
He says of it:
"The articles were handed every day to
Lady Bury and published by being read
aloud after dinner. And here | may add
that, notwithstanding there were five regu
lar meals daily, when the tables were load
ed with the most sumptuous and varied
fare, yet every table was delightful pas
time, as well as rich repast, occupying, at
least, three hours. The contributions to
our improyised journal swelled to some two
hundred letter-sheet pages and many of
them were of high order of talent. 1t
proved that not only was every man of our
company a singer, an orator, and wit but
poet and a journalist as well. Lady Bury
contributed story entitled the 'fosthu-
NOUS Papers of DIR. Blanco, not surpassed
by any similar production of Dickens
Train gave us volumes of statistics, and
poetry by the yard; while young man on
board by the name of Burns, clerk in the
New York house of Morton, Grinnell & Co.,
threw off gems in rhyme worthy of mis-
great namesake Mr.. Smith, of Stafford
shire; Mr. Coggill, of New fork Mr.. Kin
nard, of London; and Mr.. Carter, of the
we'll known firm of A. S. Henry & Co., also
contributed literally to the columns of the
Lottery. A clever artist, Mr.. Burton,
sketched the portraits of the contributors
! and these, with the various articles, were
made into large volume, which was put
up at twenty-one pounds-forty-tw tickets
| at ten shillings each. Mrs Malcolm Ora
ham, of New York, won the prize, but very
kindly placed the original copy in the hands
of Lord Bury, who will furnish each sub
| scriber, who desires it, with copy which
is to be privately printed. The money
raised was also placed in the hands of Lord
Bury, to hand over to the above mentioned
charity"

aSEOn Thursday last, in St. Louis,

BARON Thursday last, in st. Louis, a
man named John Imbright was found dead
in his room. Imbright has for some years
led life of dissipation and vice. A week
or two since he had an attack of delirium
tremens. On recovering from it he resolved
to quit drinking, and since that time has
not dared to drink, but has suffered the hor-
rors attendant on craving after drink
His suferings have been terrible. Every
day he has had fits of dependency and men
tai arrangement and has been prevented
from taking his life by the interposition of
friends. A day or two before his death he
took a dose of arsenic, which made him very
sick. While left in his room yesterday
alone, he took razor and cut his throat
from ear to ear A terrible cash was in
flicted, the head only hanging by one of the
vertebral chords.

AN ACT OF REvENGE.-On Monday night,
January 3lst, some desperate scoundrel en-
tered the dwelling of Mr.. Henry Stowell, in
Shutesbury, and stealthily proceeded to a
bedroom in which his daughter Ellen, an ex-
cellent young lady of nineteen years of age,
and another lady, were sleeping in separate
beds, to both whom he administered chlo-
reform. He then made several cuts with
some sharp instrument upon the forehead of
Miss Ellen, extending from the roots of the
hair to the eyebrows, and also upon her
chin From these wounds the blood flowed
freely, but they were not serious. He also
made cash of some three inches in length
upon her breast, and probably committed
other outrages. On retiring she took the
rings from her fingers and placed them upon
the table near her bed; these were found
upon the floor, broken and useless.
Her clothing was all taken from the
room lin which she slept, and from the
room adjoining. Even her trunk was
broken open and clothing and papers car
ried away. Her summer hat, and summer
clothing of all kinds, as well as whatever
else that belonged to her was carefully Sc
lected and carried off. There were many
valuable articles in the room belonging to
other members of the family, but nothing
whatever was disturbed, except such things
as belonged to this interesting young lady
1t seems evident, therefore, that revengt
was the only object of the scoundrel. She
came to consciousness about daylight the
following morning, and found her face and
bed clothing covered with blood, and hersel
suffering greatly from the violence describ
ed. The family were at once made ac
quainted with what had happened, and {
diligent search has been instituted, but a
yet no clue to the perpetrator of the out
rage has .been.obtained.--Amherst Mass

B The ALBANY Journal gives the
following summary Of the meaning of De-
mocracy about these days:
democracy convenient title-is used
just now to mean great many different
things in different places. In Pennsylvania
il means specific duties, but ia New England
ad valorum ones, and in Virginia, no duties
at all. 1t means popular sovereignty in
Chicago, but in Washington it means feder-
al aggrandisement. 1t is for the Pacific
Railroad in California, but against it in
Georgia. 1t is for fishing bounties in Maine,
but against them in Alabama. 1t 6llibust-
ers in Louisiana, though it denounces it in
Michigan. In Ohio it assumhs to stand on
the Cincinnati platform, but in Virginia it
plants itself on the resolutions of '98, and
in Carolina it will agree to nothing short of
the Charleston resolutions of 1860, reserv-
ing the right to differ even from them, if it
don't like them. All these warning factions
claim to be a single party, because they
have name in common.

of State, they find that these officers have
received unauthorized perquisites, which are
reported specifically. They also reported a
Joint resolutioun instructing the Attorney
General to investigate the accounts OF, and
institute suit against, the late Secretaries OF
State for moneys unlawfully received. A
motion was made to refer this report to the
Judiciary Committee, and warm discus
sion ensued, which lasted during the remain
der of the morning session.
Inthe afternoon the report was laid on the
table and 1000 copies ordered to reprinted.
The bill on township business was then
taken up and after several other amend
ments were added to it, on motion of Pros
ser, tine amendments were considered en-
crossed, the bill read third time and pass
ed. The House soon after adjourned.

D0- On Saturday, the 18th inst, diff
Guilty occurred between Thomas A Jones
and Frank A. Howard, about three miles
west OF Nashville, in this State, resulting, it
is feared, fatally to Mr.. Howard "A CORES
pondent of the Cincinnati Gazette furnishes
the following account Of the occurrence:
1t seems that an attachment had sprung
up between Mr.. Howard and Mr.. Jones
youngest sister, so that How ard frequently
visited the house, considerably to the annoy
ance of her parents, and especially to
Thomas. Howard had been frequently told
to quit the premises, and an evening or two
previous had been warned not to visit the
honse again, it being threatened that if he
did they would shoot him. He laughed,
and told them he was not afraid of that, and
left the house saying he would be back on
Saturday.
On Saturday about two O'Clock, he start
ed for Jones', and had proceeded not more
than two miles when he met Thomas Jones,
who appeared to be very friendly, and
asked him where he was going whereupon
Howard told him he was going to his faith
er's. Jones said nothing, but rode on
noWuu Teacueo lie mousse, anu ndu pstH
there about two hours when young Jones
arrived, and upon seeing Howard, exclaim-
ed, You're here again, you black rascal,
are your And Immediately commenced
firing at him with a revolver, two shots
taking effect, one in his abdomen and one
in his thigh. The report of the pistol being
heard by some neighbors, they ran over and
found Howard weltering in his blood
They picked him up and carried him to their
house, and sent for physician, who imue-
diately dressed his wounds Upon the ar
rival of the news in town, the greatest ex-
element prevailed, and it was with much
difficulty that the people were prevented
from hanging Jones without judge OF jury.

road, the Railroad Register says;
During the year 1853, on business ex-
ceeding fUe millions Of dollars, ono million
of passengers were carried without the loss
of single life, and with only one accident
from the breaking of an axle, in which three
persons were slightly injured, and whose
claims ror damages, amicably settled, were
less than fifteen hundred dollars. And al
though more than eight hundred tons OF
freight were moved in the year, the damage
