E We would call particular attention to McLean's notice in another column We add the following from the St. Louis Herald, which speaks volumes in its favor. We say to all, give it a trial
 "We take especial pleasure in recom- mending McLean's celebrated Strengthen ing Cordial as an invaluable remedy for general debility and weakness. We have seen it tested in circle under our own inn mediate observation, and can vouch for its efficacy and worth.

 The commencement sermon was preached on Sunday the 18th inst, to very large crowd by Rev. w. P. Radcliffe, from lst Timothy, 4th and Sth. It was plain practical and forcible exhibition of Bible truth It was the gospel in its purity and power, and as the preacher justly and truth fully remarked the gospel is good enough for any one. That sermon will long be re- membered and no doubt will be productive of much good Would to God we could have such faithful preaching in all the land.

Mutual [" Attentions"

The Detroit papers recently related an amusing instance of reciprocal affection which is pretty, if true, and, as Jerrold said to Bonrcicault, prettier if not true.- In that city lives gentleman, by no means the only one--the possessor of an amiable wife, who had the misfortune a short time since to see her prostrated on bed of sick ness, which, as appearance indicated was about to make an end of her. He was ex- cessively grieved at the prospect, and out of pure desire to be employed in some la Dor of love as an earnest of his affection, he posted off to the cemetery and bought a lot, set the mechanics and nurserymen at work, and shortly had so charming nook fitted up thatit would have been a pleasure to any sensible person to be buried in it.. Not so with the lady, however. She got well, and before the roses budded, which were to have waived over her grave, the lilies had departed from her cheeks. The husband little abashed at his over-tem- pefed zeal, said not word about the lot in the cemetery, but by some means she heard of it. It is not pleasant to have such close reminders of ones future existence, and the lady felt not little vexed at the exten sive preparations which her beloved had made to get her under ground. She strict ly followed his example, and kept her own | counsel, but by way of fair retaliation, posted off to the jewellers, and ordered m elegant silver coffin plate, on which she had inscribed the name of her husband, and an appropriate epilaph, leaving blanks for his age and date of death. This the as- tonished Benedict found on his bureau one morning when he got up. He saw the joke at the same time that he heard the SUD- pressed laugh of the spouse from under the bedclothes. Uhe plate is now slowed away in the lady's writing desk, as standing offset to the fowery nook in the old ceme- tery.-Boston Post.

KossUTH's PosIuoN.-Kossuth, in a note to the Times correcting misrepresenta- tions, says:
 The purport of my argument is this: If England abstains from taking part in this war, the war will remain restricted to the Austrian dominions and to the Italian De- ninsula: if, on the contrary, England in- terferes, the war will become general Flu ropean one, because Germany will not plunge into the war if told that she will not be supported by England; and in this case Russia. too, will remain neutral but if England should either directly support Austria or assist Germany in supporting her, then Russia, too, will step in, but on the opposite side-she will support France. So that if the present war assumes general European proportions, it will be entirely the work of England's intervention.

Of contradictory accounts, the re- norts the late battles of Magenta and Marriage, tor Melegnano) are the most conaicig. The French accounts give the Austria losses at 0,00O; their own at B. 900. sYe Austrians place their loss at 1000 a,that of the allies at 5000. From the confing accounts we gather that the French tops crossed the Ticino and by pretendiI to center at certain point de- ceived heustrians. The principal fight ing was .a,Iagenta. For time, even by the Frenclersions of the affair, the Aus trians drothe allied troops back until re- inforcemen ucceeded in crossing the river. The Londoj ines, which evidently takes an anti-Freh side, comments upon the fact that thelies took only two standards and three ganfrom the enemy, and argues that if the bae had been decisive one, it would have en impossible for the Aus trians to haverried off their cannon and colors.
 Nevertheles, the allies are at Milan: Piedmont is fr in their possession, and the Austrianss ve retreated beyond the Ada The eyes of the warmay be sum- med up briefly ithe events of five or six weeks, as folio: April 24th; some French troops lded at Genoa.

 These brilliant ress over brave and hard fighting foe haveeen attended with fearful loss of life. 20,0 or 30, ,00O troops have fallen; fertile counes have been laid waste, and numbers oirisoners taken on both sides.

The AuStrians have strong foications on the Mincio and Adige. Therther they re- treat the more compact thtrmy becomes. the more easily it can be reiDrced and sup piled with munitions and prisons.
 Germany is evidently preying to take part in the contest, and this Il lead to the entanglement of other nation The Aus trians claim a victory at Mignano and seem to be anxious for a decye, general engagement.

JUDGE EDMoNDs ON Sp1RfrUAI1sN- Judge Edmonds is publishing series of letters on his favorite topic in the New ork Tribune. He states that the spirits first manifested themselves to him through the sense of hearing He had heard the voices of dear friends, long since departed, under circumstances in which there could be no room for deception. In regard to seeing wonders, he says:
 Il have seen chair run across room, backward and forwarl, with no mortal hand touching it. l have seen tables rise from the floor, and suspended in the air. l have seen them move when noetouched. l have known a small bell to f1v around the i room over our heads. l have known ta- ble, at which l was sitting, turned upside down, then carried over my head, and put against the back of the sofa. and then re- placed. l have seen a table lifted from the floor, when four able-boied men were ex- erting their strength to hold it down. [ have heard, well vouched for, of young man carried through the air, several feet from the floor, through suite of parlors. l have seen small articles in the room fly torough the airand fall at the place design> ed for them, and sometimes so rapidly that the motion was invisible, and all we could see was that the object had changed its To- cation.''

 The appeal is directed to the heart and purse of every citizen.
 We have in our midst several "lady managers" Mrs. s. H. Tucker Mrs. s. c. Faulkner, Mrs. Sallie Trapnall and Miss Eliza Tucker, who are prepared to receipt in full for whatever patriotic spirit may be evidenced by contributions of Individuals to the cause which would enshrine the grave of "the father of his country"
 None will deny that his tomb should be rescued from neglect, and the premises where winded the walks of his private life, the shades beneath which he reclined when he had laid aside his sword, and retired from public position higher than the throne of an emperor, should be pleserv- ed from the blight of neglect.
