FOR THE RAPID CURE OF
Coughs, Colds, Influenza, HoarseRess, Group,
Bronchitis, Incipient Consumption, and for
the relief of Consumptive Patients in adj
vanced stages of the disease.
So wide is the field of its usefulness and SO numerous
are the cases of its cures, that almost every section of
country abounds in persons publicly known, who have
been restored from alarming and even desperate dis
eases of the lungs by its use. When once tried, Its
superiority over every other medicine of its kind is too
apparent TO escape observation, and where its virtues
are known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote
70 employ for the distressing and dangerous affections
of the pulmonary organs that are incident to our
climate. While many inferior remedies thrust upon
the community haye failed and been discarded, this has
gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits on the
afflicted they can never forget, and produced cures too
numerous and too remarkable to be forgotten.

MARYLAND AND her REPRESENTATIVES,. -
The Boston 44tlcs and Bee, speaks as follows
of our good old state and two Of her Repre-
Sentatyes in Congress
One Of the most conservative and Union
loving States of this Union is the good cid
State ct Maryland. The whirlwnd Of
BnchananiSm was unable to force that old
and patriotic State to cast her vote for the
Cincinnati nominees. Maryland voted for
Willard Fillmore, and what is better, she sent
to the Congress of the United States Henry
Winter Davis and j. Morrison Harris, two Of
the best and ableSt men in that body. When
one speaks of national men, the names of the
gentlemen we have recorded above instinc-
lively Use up in our recollection. They were
true to ,itir State, to their constituents. to
their principles and to their Country, and
although they did not always vote precisely
as we would have voted if holding seat in
the House, yet VIC know that they have won
the highest regard Of the conservative and
good men of Massachusetts for their indepcn-
dent and patriotic course. and if either of
them should ever he put in nomination for
the inst or second Office of the Government,
they could even rely upon the electoral vote
of Massachusetts. For Mr.. Davis, with
whom we formed an acquaintance in 1852,
at the great Scott Convention at Niagara Falls
we have high regard. He Is one of the
most independent and liberal. minded gentle
men in this county. Though young in
years he is old in wisdom and eloquence.

OLD NEWSPAPERS OF THE County,
We are under obligations to Mr.. b. f. Kirk.
College Green, for about three fourths of the
first two volumes of the Elkion Courier
Having been several years attempting to
procure as full files as possible of the papers
published in Cecil county, prior to the time
we established The Wing, in order to have
them preserved on account of their historical |
value, and having given what we think to
have been sufficient notice of our purpose
to have secured the attention of such persons
as might be inclined to take an interest in the
project, we are about to have bound what we
have been able to procure and to give over
further effort in regard to the matter. We
are still sadly deficient in copies of the EHkion
Press, which we regret, as it was the first
paper printed in the county and its publication
continued, in the hands of various persons,
for number of years. AL who have copies
of that paper, or of any old Cecil papers,
which they are willing to sell to us or give us,
will please let us have them without delay
otherwise they will not take their proper
places iu the volumes about to be bound.

MoRMoNIsM.-We have received the following
letter in reference to a NJ ISIS Dresser who has
lately been creating quite stir in some OF
the cities. She is stated, by the writer, to be
a native Of this town.
PoRr DErosIT, May IS, 80.
EDITOR OF THE CECIL WurG.-De0r Sir
on have doubtless seen notice of Miss Helen
NJ Dresser, through the press of the large
Southern cities, and lattcrly in the Washington
and Baltimore papers. AS her friend and
guardian. so constituted by her parents who
live in Missouri, and who placed her in NV
family when left for tour of at least wear
abroad. She wishes me to write to the papers
in Elkton. Miss D is native of your
town, from which she removed at about seven
or eight years of age, to her fathers former
place of residence, in Maine, where she lived
till she WAS eleven. Her parents then become
infatuated with Mormonism went TO Utah,
taking Miss Helen with them. After three
years residence in that territory, she induced
her father to incur the risk of an escape which
was successful, but he lost his property and
arrived at the city where | reside in poverty
and sickness. Miss Helen was, by liberia!
persons put into my Seminary, for Young
ladies, and the eight months with us was all
schools for the last six years. She originated
the plan OF writing history Of Morn onism,
and by presenting her lectures before the
public has been the recipient not only of
mafcrial aid but Of Il reputation of which, as
her guardian, | feel justly proud.
Miss Helen will read her lecture on Mormon

Night, or afternoon if church or other
suitable place can be obtained

strangely exemplitied in the case Of this girl.
who last year. was poor, neglected and to all
appearance destined to pass through life mere
cipher; but who after all of her privations,
snlerings and obscurity, has come to be the
bright particular star wherever she is heard,
aud who is pronounced to be a prodigy of
talent Elliton need not surely be ashamed
to welcome her daughter, and l write this as
feel assured that from these facts, you can
CLEAN enough to constitute a sensation article
for your paper, or at least a rcadablc one that
will also help deserving and talented young
lady. She will read to free house if church
can be had for Sunday night. Most Respect
fully yours, z. NJ. Smith.
