Our colored brethren in town, called
by some the "modern Liberia" held
Harvest Home for the benefit of
their church, on Thursday and Friday
of this week. Curiosity prompted US
to make visit to the scene of gayety,
and having arrived there, we beheld
the shining "phizes Of nearly seven
ty-fve ebony faces The colored peo-
pie seemed to enjoy themselves hugely
and the radient black faces of their
bellies, glittered with good nature, heat
and excitement.
The party returning from the mass
meeting held at WoodsYille, favored
us with some first rate music as they
passed through the town, on their
way home on Thursday last.
The late changes of the weather
have produced much debility among
our good towns people. Every one
seems to be complaining of colds,
coughs, &c., and a great amount of
has been occasioned by the
of the atmosphere.

The Persian Fever Charm :!

TN0R the prevention of Fever and Ague and
4 Bilious Fevers. This wonderful remedy
was brought to the knowledge of the present
proprietors by friend who has been a great
traveller in Persia and the Holy Land
While going down the river Euphratus, he ex-
perienced severe attack of Fever and Ague.
On discovering his condition, one of the Boat
men took from his person an Amulet, saying,
Wear this and no fever will touch you" Al
though incredulous as to its virtues; he COM
piled and experienced immediate relief, and has
since always found it an effectual protection
from all malarions complaints.
On further investigation he found that the
boatman attributed to it miraculous powers
and said that it could only be obtained from the
gentleman in conversing with a Priest obtained
from him the secret of its preparation. and as
certained where the medicinal herbs were found
OF which it was compounded. The wonderful
virtues of this article have induced full belief
IN the minds of the natives in the miraculous
healing powers of their Priests
Since his return to America, it has been tried
with the happiest effect by several Ladies and
Gentlemen of high character, who have given it
the most unqualified praise. This remedy hay
ing been specific in Persia for hundreds of
years, for the prevention and cure of fever and
ague and Bilious Fevers-is now offered to the
American people.

Storm on Thursday.


Our town was visited on Thursday
afternoon last by one of the heaviest
rain storms in the remembrance of
that celebrated parsonage "the oldest
inhabitant. The rain commenced
falling at P. M. and continued one
hour, during which time we are in
formed by L. Fl. Parsons Esq, 81
inches of water fell The lowlands
south of the town were overfowed,
the water driving the occupants from
a number of dwellings. The railing
of the iron bridge across Swans Greek
at Union St., was considerably broken
by the timbers of a slaughter house
and several small bridges which were
carried off. The bridge itself sustain
no injury although the water for some
time completely submerged it. The
bridge at the upper end of York ST.,
choking up, caused the water which
came down the gorge to flow down
York to Main Street, thence to Swans
Creek. The cellars of number of
the dwellings, along these two streets
were filled, and many families lost
tnier entire stock of provisions.
Farmers coming in from the country
inform us that the small bridges en-
the York Road and New Brunswick
Turnpike, are in most cases washed off.
The Delaware Division Canal sustain
ed considerable damage in the shape
of serious break near Neely's Mill,
three miles below New Hope, and the
undermining of several abutments at
the Outlet Lock, this latter caused by
the breaking through of the lower
guard gates. We learn that the storm
was not very wide spread, scarcely
reaching four miles above and the
same distance below this place

last at Thomas Cherry's Hotel. AZ

Lilly of this place. A meeting was
also held in the evening and addressed
by Jonathan Pickle Esq. Of Mount

in the afternoon, some one gave it a
coat Of tar, for the purpose it is said,
of paying off a grudge held by the

Fatal Accident


On Monday night the 18th inst,
Charles Westport, hand belonging
to boat on the Delaware canal, fell
over the tow-path wall, between Lum-
berVille and Point Pleasant, and in
jured himself SO severely as to cause
death sometime during the night The
man was driving the horses, and it is
supposed lost his way in the darkness
of the night, and fell over the embank-
ment. He fell about ten feet, his head
striking upon a rock and fracturing
his skull. His body then rolled fur
Their down the river bank, into the wa
ter, where it was found next morning
lifeless. The man was not missed I'M
til the boat reached the lock, at Point
Pleasant, when search was made for
him, but he was not found till next
morning. Henry Hough, Esq, of
Lumberville, summoned a jury and
held an inquest upon the body, who
rendered a verdict in accordance with
the above facts.
