ing which, in trying to do, his mis-
chieVons pen occasionally slips off the

which do not always suit the notion Of

dramatic advertisement, Mrs. VeXum
undertakes to conciliate Biddy, TO
overcome her hostility to the Daylight
Stove, by an ingenious appeal to her
nationality, telling her it was bought
from Mr.. Hibernia. the new Steve
dealer supposing that the name of
the Store keeper. would Immediately
suggest thoughts Of the Green Isle ;"
of heme,- and "reminiscences which, If
accomplished, she hoped would paeify
and reconcile her maid Biddy. This
portion Of the advertisement, IN fact
the whole OF it, has been construed by
a certain novice in the stove business,
as an attack upon him. Judging
from the infamotory remarks

has, the honor Of being the Author, he
would probably speak out for himself,

visions of the past loom up before him

Aug 2lst, 1857, or TO the Beacon of

the proprietor Of the Church street,

earnestly his intention of going into

him that if ever he did, we should
put him through. /" Now if he con
siders that advertisement an attack
upon him, and cannot be persuaded
otherwise, | must beg that he excuse
it, or consider it only small part Of

condition of his opposing ne.
The Public will please notice that
we will not allow any other dealer to

FAITHFUL MINISTERS OF HEALTH.
In examining the vessels at the
various wharveS, we find among other
curiosities of our commerce the brig
Miranda, just in from Truxillo with a
cargo of Honduras Sarsaparilla for
DR.. j. G. Aver & Co., of Lowell.
So particular are this firm as to the
articles used in compromising their va
rious remedies, that they have this
drug, like some others they consume,
gathered for them by a skilful agent
of their own in the tropical regions
of its growth. He informs US that
there are many species Of this plant,
but two Of which are really valuable
in medicine the qualities of these are
also affected by the time of gathering,
mode of curing, ect., operations which
in that region Of unreliable workmen
impose heavy labor upon him. One
OF the inert varieties Of Sarsaparilla
grows wild in our own forests, while
several others, nearly worthless, alb
ound in Central and South America.
The intelligent agent assured us that
the virtues of the drugs had never been
fully told, and that the reason of the
low esteem in which many hold it is
mainly due to the Importation of such
immense quantities of the worthless
varieties His accounts of his trips

SEARCH AFTER A LOST INVENTION.
A most interesting search saws the
London Court Journal, is about to
take place, that will draw all lovers of
invention to the tombs of the Beaufort
family 1t seems that the first Earl
of Worcester, of the day of Henry VII
invented an engine, the original model
Of which has never been discovered. =
Through the deepest researches of Mr..
Woodcroft obtained proof that the
Earl Of Worcester desired in his will
that the model should be inferred with
him, and actually in his coffin. There
fore Mr.. Woodcroft's next step was to
obtain permission to have the coffin
opened but before that could be done
the whereabouts had to be discovered,
and no one knew anything about it.
1t was not until the other day that,
coming across an old manuscript, he
foun0 an allusion made to the coffin of
Charles Somerset, first Earl of Wor-
cester, and that it was buried in a
vault which had fallen in, and, as the
writer observed, was never likely to be
beheld by mortal eyes again. The
manuscript was upwards of one hun
dred and fifty years old; it therefore
may be imagined that to find the spot
where the Earl is buried is difficult
enough ; that however, has been ac-
complished, and Mr.. Woodcroft hav-
ing obtained permission to open the
coffin, is only waiting the necessary
permission of the Bishop to do so -
The Duchess has signifed her desire to
be present.

FURTHER TESTIMONY.
TIMELY CAUTION.
The following letter from gentlemen in Phila-

by worthless article. and who, knowing by
experience the virtues of the genuine Wistar'

public against similar impositions
Philadelphia, Jan. 80, 1860.
Messrs. Seth W. Fowle & Co., Boston -
My wife having been afflicted with very Sc
we're cough for nearly two years, was induced
by friend to try Wistar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry, and finding great relief in it, she perse
Ny object in writing is to inform you that
you would advance your own interest as we'll as
that of the suffering comm, nifty, by advertising
such retail druggists as keep it for sale. Being
ON one occasion out of the Balsam, called at a
drug store in this city to purchase bottle when
a spurious and worthless imitation was offered
me as the genuine By advertising in this man
ner you will p1otect the public from imposition
and advance your own interests, as q medicine
having the estimable virtues of Wistar's Balsam
of Wild Cherry should never suffer in reputation
by coming in competition with worthless and
delecterious mixtures.
With respect yours truly.

A French meteorologist named
Renon predicts a series of severe win
ters, of which the approaching winter
is to be the first, and that of 1877 the
most severe. Mr.. Renon thinks he
has discovered that these groups of
severe winters return in forty one
years, and that the increase Of spots
on the sun indicates them. He also
finds that unusual displays of aurora
borealis and frequent earthquakes are
simultaneous with the increase Of
spots on the sun and severe winters.

annual convention at New York on
Sunday moring week. The conven-

cation is to diffuse abroad certain So
called philosophical principles, which
are breathed through the writings of
Voltaire, the two Rosseaus, Hume,
Paine and others A steady opposi-
ton to Christianity, and a general
disbelief in Divine revelation are the
features of the principals inculcated
by the association In the large room
of the building there were assembled
about one hundred and fifty persons.
A great deal was said against the
Christian religions. but really nothing
but what has been thousand times
advanced against Christianity, and ten
thousand times related.
