Mr.. SETH W. FowLE.-Dear Sir Your in
valuable medicine, can truly say. has literally
snatched me from the grave. Last July was
attacked by sud- en- cold, which resulted in very
severe cough with violent pains in the side and
chest, | became so much reduced. that my friends
frankly told me that | must die. At this crisis
heard Of WISTARs BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY,
and Immediately sent for bottle The effect
produced was indeed wonderful My ply stefan,
one Of the most respectable in Boston, who had
previously told me that cure was hopeless came
in, and | informed him what | had taken lie
examined the Balsam and advised me to cOninu e
the Of it, since which time | have continued TO
improve daily; and the same physician who had
given me up, told me, a few days since that
might yet live many years. Respectfully,
MARY ROWE.
We can cheerfully testify to the truth Of the above
statement, Mrs Rowe having been an inmate of
our family. WILLIAM DENNETT,

FINE WRITING.-The appearance of an
Aurora Borealis has afforded newspaper editors
and reporters. all over the country, opportunity
to get of some specimens of very fine writing in
which the entire stock of adjectves in the Ian
gnage has been exhausted. In this torrent and
hhirlwind of highfalutn it is a relief and a
pleasure to fall back upon plain, vigorous Anglo
Saxon, and note in simple phrase the fact that the
most beautiful and durable garments for gentle
men and youths, to be found in the country are
those made at the Brown Stone Clothing Hall of
RocKHILL & WILSON. Nos SOB and 500 Chestnut

HORRIBLE MASSACRE AND CANN1BALIsM.
The Chinese passenger saved from the wreck
and massacre of the st. Paul on its passage
from China to Australia gives the particulars
of that horrible event. The ship dritted upon
Rosse Island on the 18th of September during
the night. The captain drove the frightened
passengers below till morning when they land :
ed upon the island. After remaining there in
great suffering about month, they were at
tackled by the natives. The only white men
among them was Greek, who fought desper-
ately, and killed great many of the natives
before he was overpowered. They then took
all our clothing, says the narrator, which they
partly destroyed Any valuables that they
found, such as sovereigns, rings, &C., they
placed in a net bag, which each man carried
about his neck. watch particularly excited
their attention, as they were continually open
ing it to observe the reflection of their faces in
the glass At night we were placed in the
centre of a clear piece of ground, and fires lit
in several places, the natives keeping a regular
watch over us, and during the day they would
select four or five Chinese, and after kill.
ing them, roast the flesh, and eat it what
was not consumed being deposited in their
nets. Their mode of proceeding was as fol-
lows The victims being decided OF, they
| were taken out, beaten all over (excepting the
head) with kind of club aud then dispatched
! by ripping the stomach open. The body was
then cut up in small pieces and divided, the
fingers, toes, and brains, being eagerly sought
| after; the bones were then collected, and Ell
ther burned or thrown away. saw ten of
my fellow passengers killed in this way.
On one occasion some of the Chinese took
a boat which belonged to the ship, and went
over to the main land at night to get some wa.
ter, but never returned so we thought they
had been killed Every day they brought us
cocoanuts or some wild roots to eat, and ap
peared to be quite friendly with us. Thi,
state of things continued until was taken of
the island. When left, there were only four
Chinese and the Greek alive all the rest hav
ing been killed. saw these five the day the
steamer came in sight, but when the natives
saw the boats coming on shore they took them
10 the mountains was sick and lame, and
they would not carry me, so that | watched
my opportunity and eontriyed to conceal my
self among the rocks until the boat came or
shore They are very numerous, but do moi
