There was more business done on the Stock Ex-

more lively. At the opening the market was dull,
and prices Of some descriptions, especially Gen.

prices improved, and the market left of stronger.

closed steady. Central sold very largely in the

days. Reading was of, in consequence of the an

Visiting YoHng Ladies.

We commend the following article, which we
clip from late number of the Detamare Coun-
fg Republican,, aud commend 1t mol ooly to tba
attention of parents, but to the young men of
our country. It is the production of lady,
and IS written to correct an evil which untor-
tunstely prevails to too great al extent a; the
present day. The writer says:
s'The too common practice which many young
men are in, of visiting, eoasecutisely, tor 9
length Of time, young ladies' of their acqaaint
aGce, without making known their intentioas in

their elbow-not only giving the individuals
themselves reason TO believe there is meaning
in these attentions, but giving to the world aud
sbusy gossip the license TO connect names which
often make it unpleasant for both parties-ls a
practice which cannot be too strohg.y reprobe-

REASON AND COMMON SENSE.

Our readers may remember we have on several
occasions spoken in very euiogistic terms of
preparation which DIR. Seth s. Hance, of los Bal
timore street, Baltimore. Md, has discovered fer
the cure of Epiieplic Fits. Now, In doing 50, we
have been ,ctuated by the very best motives. viz
the alienation of human suffering From circnm-
stances which have lately come to our knowledge,
we fear there is certain class of persons who
not disposed 10 try this remedy in a common sense
manner. We allude 10 the fact of selecting par
t5cular case in town where perhaps there are six
or eight cases, and trying it one case. Now,
perhaps the case selected might be the only OF
the whole number that it would not cure- This Is
neither doing themselves the medicine Justice
If dozen persons were stricken down with cholera
in one town or neighborhood, would they ai send
isr physician, or would only employ him,
and wait aud see if he cured the first patient? That
plan Of procedure would be most absurd. So in the
case of DIR. Hance's remedy, every one who has
Fits should try il for a reasonable length OF time.
1t will not cure in a day or week; nothing worth
doing can be accomplished at once. What is easily
done, is as easily nndone. The growth OF time is
enduring. From the most respectable testimony we
have examined, we feel assured that by q proper
perseverance in this remedy, nine cases OF Epilepsy
out Of ten may be cured. The Pills are sent by
mail free of postage TO any part Of the world.

NATURE IS THE GREAT PHYSICIAN
This now admitted by the medical profession, as
fundamental principle of healing science. II is
wisely provided by the human economy, that when
ever anything is wrong in the physical system, the

proposed amendment the House re-
fused to agree TO, and during the last
hours Of the session the Senate,
which had adopted it, receded from
iit. 1t is proper to remark, to pre-
vent misapprehension, that Douglas
was a member Of the House when
the Oregon bill was originally in
troduced, but took his seat in the
Senate before it passed that body.
We leave his friends to answer
how much Unpopular sovereignty aud
non-intervention are evinced by his
speech in the Senate in 1850, and
his action on the Oregon bill in ls46,

Horrible Excesses ofa Tennessee Des-

] ptfduo.
The Morristown (Tennessee) In
telligencer, Of last week, contain,
the following narrative:
We have rarely heard OF NOR,
diabolical and fiendish outrage thar
the one perpetrated yesterday, eigh
miles above this place, and two
miles above Russelville, in uawkin,
county. lt seems that q man, o.
rather a demon, by the name o
Joshua Billiard, armed himself will
n scythe blade, aud started from hi
home with the intention of murder
ing some person. The first man h,
encountered was Mr.. Bewley; bnI
it appears that Bewley escaped with
out material injury. lie then wen,
to the house OF n Mr.. Horner, and
told him he intended to kill him
and commenced cutting him will
his scythe blade. Horner reoaivot
eight severe wounds upon the head
and other parts of his person. We
are informed that lie cannot possibly
survive.
Ballard then went to the house o
n Mrs. Robinson; she saw him
looming aad closed the door. Bal.
lard, however, broke the door down
went in, hauled her from under the
bed, and inflicted several sever,
wounds upon her; she by some means
escaped from him. Not satisfied
he commenced upon two of her
children, iniicting several gashes
on their bodies.
BY this time several of the neigh
bora collected to take him, but Bal
lard swore he would not he taken,
and started on a run for his home;
lie was hotly pursued, however,
and barely reached his own house
and secreted himself in the loft,
when he. was fired upop through the
cracks between the logs. There
was a bag Of cotton in his lott, which
he used to screen himself from the
bullets, and our informant, who is a
gentleman Of veracity, says some
seventy.iive shots were fred before
he was killed. He stood and cursed
his pursucrs till he fell dead. HE
mother stood in the yard during the
time, swearing she would send the
whole party to HI before she was
done with them.
1t appears that Ballard was n
desperate character - addicted to
strong drink. and all kinds Of dis
sipation. He was tho champion OF
the neighborhood, and most men
were afraid to encounter him single.
handed. We saw him engaged in
o row with the Irish in this place
some five years ago, and he made n
party of about twenty leave the
street. We nrr upPosr'l tu iyncIIiug
u man, but in this case there was no
alternative.
