TN presenting you with DR. EATON'S INFAN- U TILE CORDIAL, we desire to state its supe- riority over every nostrum that nurse or quack has heretofore offered you.
 First-It is the preparation of a regular physi clan, who is we'll qualified from much experience in infantile complaints to prescribe tor them. Secondly-It is entirely free from paregorie or op- ate of any kind. and consequently relieves by re- moving the sufferings of your child, instead of with great care, as a comparison of it with any other article for infantie complaints will show i; the very roots from which it is distilled being dug from the forests under the direction of Dr. Eaton, many of them by his own hands. Fourthly-lt is perfectly harmless and cannot injure the most delicate infant and is certain cure and relief in all the following cases, which is it's chief merit over every other preparation, viz:
 FoR ALL COMPLAINTS ATTENDING TEETHING such as DYsENTERY, CoLIc, &c. also, for softening the gums and relieving pain. For regulating the bowels it is unequalled. For cold in the head it is a sure relief. For GROUP, the most fatal and trying of diseases it be relied on with perfect confidence; and being powerful ant: .spasmodic in al cases of cvnvulsons fits, we earnestly re- commend you to loose no time in procuring it - l Lastly-It costs so much more than other prepar- | atiOns of the kind, that we cannot afford such long advertisements as can those whose whole ex pense is their advertising; for the same reason, it commends itself as the most reliable to ali | mothers. In all cases, the directions wrapped around each bottle must be strictly followed Price 25 cents per bottle.

you an ides of his humor, manners and language.
 After MT. Allen was married. which was not till he was towards forty years old, and went te keeping house, bearded at his house at his ex- press solicitation for many years while attending Court though he took no other one, nor ever named to me any price, nor would he count the money handed to him when leaving for home, seeming to receive it only because l refused to stay on any other terms therefore saw much of him in his family, where his conduct was al- ways dignifed, proper and kind. He was proud, very proud, and justly so, of his wife, who was a woman of much personal beauty, polished man ners and great and even singular discretion, and for whom he entertained, believe, an ardent affection.
 Before his marriage and at the age of thirty five Mir. Allen was elected member of the fifth Congress, where he distinguished himself, at time when Connecticut was never more ably rep- resented in the House of Representatives, and would undoubtedly have been chosen for as long a>period as he would have desired to be mem- Der of that body, but he declined further cleo ton. He was elected an Assistant in l8OO and was reelected for the five succeeding years and as such was one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of Errors. For several years, previous to his election to Congress, he had represented the town of Litchfeld in the General Assembly. His wife was grand daughter of the first Gov ernor Griswold. His only son, the Hon. John Vim. Allen of Cleaveland, Ohio. has been . member of Congress from that State and is now very distinguished man there. His only sur viving daughter resides also in Cleaveland, and is the wife of her brothers immediate successor in Congress. Mrs. Allen, after rather brief widowhood, accepted the hand of Mr. Perkins of Oxford in the State of New York man of and wealth.
 now deem the task you set me sufficiently complied with, and am with great and sincere regard Your obedient servant,
