those of yesterday were all short single

CO. Mr.. Jonathan Houghman, of West
Union, Park County, Illinois, writes to the
proprietors, Fleming Bros. of Pittsburgh,
that he had suffered greatly from a severe
and protracted attack of Fever and Aape,
and was completely restored to health by the
use of the Liver Pills alone. These Pills
unquestionably posses great tonic properties
and can be taken with decided advantage
for many diseases requiring invigoratiug
remedies but the Liver Pills stand pre- en-
incnt rs means Of restoring disorganizcd
Liver to healthy action; hence the great &C.
lcbrity they have attained. The numerous
formidable diseases arising from diseased
Liver. which so long bafiled the skill of the

are now rendered easy Of cure, s:*:"nks to thu
study and perseverance of the distinguished
physician whose name this great medicine
bears--a name which will descend to poster

be safely and usefully administered.

CY The Supreme Court has decided the
vexed question relative to the recent extern
sion of the city limits of Muscatine. The
case involving the question passed upon by
the court arose from the seizure of property
belonging to Thos. Morford by Marshal
Ungcr, for city taxes, Morford's land lying
outside of the old city limits, but inside the
new extension. The Journal says the deci-
sion was based upon the ground that there
could be no extension of the city limits
without mutually of bene6t-in other
words, that taking farming lands into the
corporation and subjecting them to taxation
against the wishes Of the owners is uncon-
stitutional. But any ground already laid
out into lots can be incorporated with the
city.

hours; it will then become soft and elastic.
In this state it can be squeezed into toler-

be covered with water having some soda in

The bill for Registry Law before the
New York Legislature has been passed. A
law for the same purpose was passed by the
Michigan Legislature at its late session.
Laws which shall give free opportunity to
every lawful voter to exercise the right of
suffrage, but vigorously exclude illegal votes
and secure the ballot-box against fraud and
corruption, must and will be passed in every
State yet unprovided with them, and of such
laws the registration of the names of voters
forms necessary part. If the votes of free
men, and not the schemes and tricks of row.
dies and rufhan demagogues, are to rule the
land, then there must be some safe and GER
tain way of collecting them. Every body
who argues to the contrary, expects to de-
rive some advantage from outrage upon pop
uIar rights, or feels that the interests Of his
party are not safe in the hands of the honest

THE WHEAT CROP OF 1859,

The New York Herald has a large number
Of extracts from papers in all parts of the
country respecting the wheat crop of 1859.
1t speaks of the prospects Of the crop as
follows:
A Glorious PRosPE Give publish to-
day an interesting budget Of good news
from all parts of the Union, touching the
signs Of the approaching wheat harvest
The crop has SO far advanced, and the rains
throughout the country have been so alum
dunt. that we can have but little reason to
fear that either general drought or insects
can hcnceforth destroy the present general
prospect of a harvest greatly exceeding that
Of last year. Upon this good and glorious
promise we congratulate the American PEG
pie. producers and consumers, and the
world at large. An abundant wheat harvest
will enable our producers, especially of the
great West, to clear themselves of the
=, ,,;,sure of the financial embarrassments of
the late reyuisiy"; and to our consumers
an abundance of bread is ncve very dis
tressinS Inconvenience. Ii. us b: thankful,
too, that while scurvy politicians are
working to bring about the disgrace and
ruin Of our political institutions, bene-
fcent and everything Providence still
showers over our broad land bis choicest
blessings.
