MORE ARCTIC FoYAaISG.-Dr. Hays,
who accompanied the lamented Kane, in
the year 1858, proposes to undertake an
other expedition in the same direction,
through Bafllps Bay and Smiths Sound,
fer the purpose of navigating, if possible,
the open Polar sea which DR.. Kane dis
covered, lying north of the highest lati-
tude reached by him in 1855. The Lon
don Medical Times suggests that although
McCllntock's discovery settles the fate of
portion of Franklin's men, it is by no
means certain that some of them are still
surviving, and proposes another land ex-
cursion up the Great Fish river to that re-
gion Of country where the i'll fated party
were evidently directing their steps when
they dropped of, one by one on their
dreary Journey. Thus it appears that the
excitement about Arctic explorations is
about to be revived.

GsS" In calling attention to Dir. Guy.
sott's improved extract of Yellow Dock
and Sarsaparilla, we feel confident that
we are doing a service to all who NAV be
affected with Scrofulous, and other disor-
ders, originating in hereditary faint, or
from impurity OF blood. We have known
instances, within the sphere of our ac-
quaintance, where the most formidable dis.
tempers have been cured by the use Of
Guysott's Extract of Yellow Dock and Sar-
saparilia alone.
1t is one Of the few advertised medicines
that cannot be stigmatized with quackery,
for the " Yellow Dock" and the "Sarsa-
pariIa' are well know to be the most eff
cient (and at the same time, noxious)
agents in the whole Matera Medica, and
by far the best and purest preparation of
them is DR.. Guysott's Yellow Dock and
Sarsaparilla. Sold by all druggists.

BURIED ALIVE. SEVEN UoURs.-On
Thursday last, Mr.. G.. ?. PETER, of Pewau-
kee, was putting a new tub in the bot
tom OF The well at Cushman's Exchange,
Waukesha, when the wall caved, burying
him under the stone and gravel. In a
few moments, a large crowd ofpeople gath
cred around the well, all so anxious to as
sist in digging him out, that it was next
to an impossibilitv for any one to render
any assistance. In a short time the crowd
were driven back, and men stationed to
keep them at proper distance, and as
many men put to digging as could conve-
nientlv work. In few moments, they
found that PETER conld speak, although
at the bottom of the well, eighteen feet
deep, which was filled with gravel and
stone, nearl Y to the top. In about an
hour they dug down TO his head, and
found him quite comfortable and compo
sed; but in a few moments it caved again
from the top, covering him with fine gray
ell, several feet deep.
By this time 1t WAS ascertaned that il
was impossible to keep out the gravel,
without curbngas fast as they dug Con-
sequenty they procured some lumber, and
put in a strong curb. AS soon as his
head was again relieved, he commenced
giving orders how to RIG the curb, and
continued to direct the management of
the work, until he was finally extricated
from this perilous situation, after being
buried from two until nine p. NJ After
he was drawn up to terra tirma, he walked
into the Exchange without any assistance,
amidst the cheers Of hundreds of anxious
friends.
1t seems that when the we'll commenc-
ed caving, he had inst finished putting in
the tub, and stood above the water with
one foot upon the .ub and his back against
the wall. The stone first caved at the
bottom, covering him above the knees, and
in another second or two, tillel the well
within few feet Of the top. During this
time he stood with one hand upon his
breast, and the other partly over his head,
while large stone lay upon the back of
his neck. When he was taken out, he
showed no sign or marks of being injured,
except slight bruise over one cye-Mt
acaakee Nea0s.

To Stop PorAToE5 RorrISG.-An aori-
cultural exchange says:
can experienced agricuturaliat informs
US that about six years ago he applied lime
to potatoes that were partly rotten, and
that it innediately arrested the decay
Since then he has made it a common prac-
tice to apply Stacked lime to his potatoes
as he takes them up. lie puts thin layer
of lime upon the floor where the potatoes
are to be laid, and sprinkIes some of it over
them about every ten inches as they are
put down. lie considers this as perfectly
protecting them from rotting, as he never
had rotten potato since he has practiccd
It; and he believes also, that potatoes thus
used are rendered better by the action of
lime"

Since the failure of the attempt of Cook
ana Coppie to escape, last night, their as
sumed composure and apparent resignation
had given way, and they now looked all
the reality of their fate, with the full con:
viction of its awful certainty.
They were reserved and quiet, but join
ed with fervor in religious ceremonies con-
Quoted by the Rev. Messrs. North, Letch
err and Waugh. When called upon by the
sheriff, they stood calm and quietly whilst
their arms We're beng pinoned, and after
bidding farewell to the guards of the jail,
were helped into the wagon and took seats
on their collins.
Their appearance was rather that of hap
less despair than that of resignation, and
thev seemed to take but little notice of
anything as the procession slowly moved
on the field of death. The wagon reached
the scatfold at Ii minutes before one
o'clock, and the procession assembled with
a determined frmness rarely surpassed by
that of Capt. Brown. A brief prayer was
offered up by one Of the ministers-the
ropes were adjusted and the caps drawn
over their heads, and both were launched
into eternity in seven minutes after they
assembled the gallows.
They both exhibited the most unfinch-
ing firmness, saying nothing with the ex-
ccption of bidding farewell! to the minis
tiers and Sheriff, After the rope was adj
justed about Cooks neck, he exclaimed,
"be quick, as quick as possible which
was also repeated by Coppie. After hang
inc about thirty minutes, both bodies were
taken down and placed in black walnut
collins, prepared for them. That of Cook
was then placed in poplar box, labelled
and directed as follows: "Ashbel IL.
willard and Robert Crowley, 104 William
street, n. Y, care Adams Express" The
coffin Of Coppie was placed in similar
box to be forwarded to his mother in Iowa.

MADISON GossIP.-Under this head the

IS certain, that they cannot obtain one
half as efficient clerk as Charley"
That's true, and if the new Commission
ers wish to be popular with all parties in
the State, they will retain Mr.. GLEASON in
his present position as Chief Clerk. No
man in the State can fill that office better.

Funeral Of DR.. Hunt.

The funeral of the late DR.. JOHN w.
Hunt, at Madison, last week, was one of
the most imposing that ever took place
in the State. The Patriot says the Dane
Cavalry Company headed the procession
in undress, and with their flag draped in
mourning. Members Of the Hook and
Ladder Company followed wearing badges
of mourning. Then came a large com
pany of Masons wearing white gloves and
aprons, and then the hearse, and following
it came a company of Knight Templars"
attiIed in their elegant uniforms, and bear
ing drawn swords, while one of their mum
Der carried black velvet stand, on which
was an open Bible marked with Grape, and
another carried the kat and sword of the de-
ceased. Members of the State Historical
Society followed, and the procession closed
by long line of carriages containing
mourners and friends. The Governors
Guard Band marched at the head of the
cortege PLAYING mournful air. And thus
they marched to the old burying ground
at the east of the city, and deposited his
remains in the earth, from whence he came,
and to which we must all come.

GENTS You have written to the En-

galding England. Great fears or lack of
confidence should alone explain this step.
On one side you are possessed with an i'm

ty Of an epidemic, and upon the other
hand you reckon upon the loyalty of him
from whom YOU desire reply.
1t is easy for ourselves to give it. Il
you had calmly examined the true state of
your apprehension that cause you had on
ly found in all the rumors created by your
fellow-countrymen, by the obstinate pro-
pagation of the most chimerical alarms
because until now there was not word,
or an act Of the Emperor's which permits
doubt of bis sentiments, and consequent
ly of his intention towards your country.
His conduct, invarbly the same, has
not changed for a moment to his faithful
and irreproachable ally; that what he has
been, he will be. and declare to you in
his name will continue to be- Witness
again the approaching community of perIs
