MORNING SESSION.


DIR. Quimby sworn-Don'r recollect
ever having seen Harden before don't
remember of having given him any
powders at any time.
Observation-Disclosures were some
clergymen in my Office during Confer
ence at Morristown, in the year 1858,
but | cannot recall their names or fa-
ces. prescribed for some of them.
Harden may have been one of them.
"a package of powders shown witness)
put up powders very frequently like
these, but can't say | put up these,
the paper is like that which I use
these look like the powders / prepare.
The basis of the powders I prepare is
sugar of milk and is commonly used
by physicians. Other physicians use
the same kind of paper, it would be diff
fcult to analyze the powders | prepare
because they are medicated with tine
lures, and these may have all volatil-
lied in year or so.
Aaron G.. Vansickle sworn-Live
at Anderson, am the husband of Mary
!. Vansickle, went over to Ramsey's
the night of Mrs. Harden's death,
when my wife was called. Mr.. Ram
sey and myself were in the sitting room
and Harden part of the time Ramsey
had just returned from buying horses
in Canada. Harden joined in CONVEX
sation about the horses, asking ques-
tions about the country, &C., he would
go out occasionally and be gone few
minutes: I could hear sounds of dis
tress coming from the upper room.
Mrs. Maria Pitcock, sworn-Was
called with Mrs. Vansickle to Ramsey's
about IL O'Clock the night Mrs. Har-
den died. When we went into her
room, Harden and Miss Smith were
there, Mrs. Harden asked if we tho't
water would hurt her, said she had
great burning and thirst her tongue
and throat were nearly inacrisb, we
told her that her stomach was not very
we'll settled, and she had better not
drink too much we gave her water
whenever she called for it, think she
tried to vomit twice, but did not vom-
it anything; she requested me to put
water on her right breast, as there was
such burning there; we made other
applications, think she was ont Of the
bed twice and once up in the bed
when she got out she did not accom-
plish what she desired !; after she died
we found her bowels had passed color
light yellow, don't think she asked
Harden for a drink in my presence, it
was but few minutes before her death
that she lost her eyesight.

A New TERRITORY. The Commit
Tee on Territories in the House are
considering the subject of a new Terri
tory, TO be composed Of the upper por-
ton Of Daeotah and Nebraska to be
called Chippewa. In that event, the
same committee will report report in
favor of organizing Dacotah out of the
southern portion of the Territory OF
that name and a part of Nebraska. -
Should Congress establish the North
crn overland wagon road, it will pass
directly through the centre of the pro-
posed new Territory of Chippewa
The committee are of the opinion that
government can better protect the
overland mail routes and the lives
and property of pioneers by organizing
the Territories than it can with the
army.

The Oxygenated BitterS.

Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Heart Burn, Water
Brash, Sour Stomach, Jaundiee, Flatulen-
cy, General debility, &C. find ready
relief and speedy cure in this great
Remedy
TTNHE OXYGENATED BITTERS are beliey-
Il ed by many who have been cured of the a.
bove complaints to be the only medicine which
the materia medica affords for their infallible
cure. 1t is not an alcoholic preparation, which,
while giving momentary stimulus reduces the
system in the same ratio; but one distinct and
different from any medical preparation ever
compounded and which will, in most cases, ex.
tract the disease by the roots and restore the
patient co pristine health. In proof of which,
testimony of the very highest and unexception-
able character is presented.
RELIABLE TESTIMONY.
We call the attention Of the reader to the fol-
lowing letter from President Smith,
of Wesleyan University =
MIDDLErowN. Conn, Feb %, 1859.
Messrs. Seth W, Fowle & Co.,
Gentlemen II first made use of the Oxy-
genated Bitters some seven or eight years since.
Having suffered for twenty years from a form of
Dyspepsia, which was attended with nervous
headache, on an average of not less than one
day in week. I was induced by the unpreten-
ding recommendation of DR.. Green "to try one
bottle and if no benefit was received, to discon-
tinue the use. y
The use of one bottle warranted a further
trial, to the extent of some three or four, with
careful observance of the accompanying direc-
tions. The result was an almost entire relief
from the usual Dyspepto sympto us and their
depressing, painful consequences. believe
these Bitters produced an entire change in the
habits of my system and upon the active ensr-
giOs of the Digestive organs. now deem my
selfas exempt from Dyspepsia as most persons.
These Bitters have also been of service to other
members of my family.
Very respectfully yours,
AUGUSTUS W. SMITH.

The Great Prize Fight.

By the anderbelt which left South
ampton on the 18th ult., and arrived at
New York on Saturday morning last,
full. particulars were received of the
great pugilistic fight between Heenan
and Sayers, for the championship Of
England What is called the Champi-
on's belt has been in possession of Say
crs for sotae time. He has held it
against ali cilallengers, and if he has
it at the end of three years, it remains
with him Whoever holds the belt can
Go so only on these terms
The eight came off at Marlborough,
Hampshire, about 40 miles from Lon
don, on Tuesday, April 18th, and las
ted two hours and sixteen minutes, hav-
ing commenced at half past I am,
and concluded at IA minutes to 10.
1t is impossible to decide which man
had the best of it. Savers right arm
was almost disabled by his adversary
on The ninth round, Git somewhat re-
covered at later period of the con-
test and Heenan was perpetually
knocking him down. On the other
hand, it is admitted that Heenan had
one eye entirely closed up by Sayers'
blows, and the other almost in that
coalition when the fight ended. Hee-
nan showed all the strength and agility
that was expected, and appears to
have greatly improved 10 his Science. :"
Had Savers gone in for straight-for-
ward stand-up fight, he evidently could
not have stood up half an hour before
ueenan.
