Ague Cure.

FOX TIE SPEEDY CURE OF
Tntermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Srmr. Periodisei Hendaei'e. or Htiious
Headache. and Bilious Fevcrs, indeed
for the whole class of diseases originat-
ing In hillary deranSemcnt, caused by
the Malaria Of Mis- smatic Countries.
We arc enabled here TO offer the community a
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty. is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail This
CURE" expels the miasmatic poison Of FEVER
MD AGuE from the system, and prevents the de-
telopment of the disease, If taken Oh the first APP
oroach Of its premontory symptoms. 1t is not ouly
the best remedy yet discovered for this class
Of complaints, but also The cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for dollar brings it within the
reach OF every body; and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body should
nave it and use it freely both for cure and proicc-
tion. A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for The speedy and certain
cure OF lntermtents is that it contains no Qninine
or mineral, consequential produces no qunisn OF
other furious effects whatever upon the consttu.
ton. Those cured by il are left as healthy as i!
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence oil
the miasma,c poison. A great variety of disor.
dcrs arise from its irritation, among which are
ness, Ioothache, Ea,ache, Cata,7h, Asthnaa Pat
pitation, Painful affection Of tie Spleen, Hyster.
ics, Pain IN tie Bosrek, Colo, Paralysis and De.
ratgtment of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the Intermittent
tg,e, or become periodical. This CURE" expcls
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection tc
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the nlalarious districts. Ii taken oeca
,ionaly daily while exposed to the infection
that will be excreted from the system, and canno
accumulate in sufficient quantity to ri pen into dis
ease. Hence it is even more valuable for protcc
ton than cure, and few will suffer from Inter
mttcnts if they avail themselves of the protection
this remedy affords.

ScrOfula. or KINGS Evil,

| is a constitutional disease. a corruption of tht
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiatcd
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, il
pervades the whole body, and may burst ou
in disease OH any part of it. No organ is fire.,
from Its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variouos
caused by mcrcurial disease, low living, dis.
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, fill
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and
above all. by the venercal infection. What.
ever be its origin. it is hereditary in the con.
stitution, descending " from parents t., chiltre,
unto the third and fourth generation;" indeed
it seems to be the rod of linn who says, ~
will visit the iniquiacs Of the fathers upon
their children
Its effects commence by depo si,ion from tn,
blood OF corrupt or ulccrous matter, which, il
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is tcrmcc
tubercles; in the glands swellings; and OF
the surface, cruptions or sores. This foul cor.
ruption, which gcnders in the blood, depresse,
the energies of life, so that scrofuous constitu.
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks Of other diseases; consc-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by thi, faint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
CLIMATES the human family has its orr gin directly
in thi, scrofulous contamination and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, Of all the organs. arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous !;
their persons arc invaded by this lr,rki.g in
lection, and their health is undermined by it,

Compound Extract Of SarsapariIla,

The most eifectual remedy which the medical
kill of our times can devise for this every

oeen discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from it's destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for The cure OF

HIGnwAYs.-Iti is an old fashioned notion
that highways were made to travel in, and
belonged to the travelling public. A few
have discovered the error Of this opinion,
and now employ them for barn.yards by
setting their buildings upon them-others
use them for coarse Lighthouses and pile
up old carts, wagons, sleds, rollers plows,
harrows, &C., along their sides; others use
them for deposits of rubbish, and throw
piles Of rubbish, along the fences, and
weeds, ashes, leather trimmings, &C., into
their center, others again make cattle yards
and pastures of them, the cattle helping
themselves to their neighbours cabbages,
tho horses jumping into the neighbors
wheat fields, the hogs roofing up grass
walks--and oil Of them terrifying the little
school girls on their way to the district
school and returning. We are old fashion.
q people, however, and prefer clean neat
roads, and quiet animals, in good shelter,
private barnyards or stables, or in rich
pastures with good fences.

The Eirhth Censu. Reports
From the n. Z. HerGld.l

LAANlAA AlAe ~ II AAHAHAAl-I
The manuscript sheets Of the fortheom-
ing preliminary report Of the eighth cen
sus, the printing whereof has been order
ed by Congress, consists Of some twenty
chapters, devoted to illustrations of the
progress Of the country in population, ag-
riculture manufactures and other perma-
nent interests, written to render the sta
tistics attractive to the common reader. It
embraces a view of the progress of slavery
and the colored race, and of slavery among
the Indian tribes. It contains carefully
prepared chapter on immigration, and
illustrates the changes which have been
wrought in the representation in Congress.
The subject Of medicine and disease are
treated at some length, and complete his
tory is given Of the progress made in the
treatment Of the deaf and dumb, blind, in
sane and idiOtic in this country and Eu
rope. The progress Of the country in its
banks and monetary concerns receives due
mention, while the condition Of the news
paper press and its progress are given with
accuracy and care. So far as the subjects
embraced by the census have been tabula-
ted, the report Of the superintendent de-
tails the result of that great work. The
chapter on the progress of manufactures
and the mechanics arts viii excite wonder,
not only in this country, but in Europe, at
the amazing advance we have made in the
last ten years. The report will include
many tables which form the basis of the
narrative. A volume Of this character
will be of much more practical use and
possess much greater interest than dozen
volumes of figures. The work is similar
in many respects to the report Of Mr.. Ken
pedy of the seventh census, which was ta-
ken under his direction, but which he was
not permitted to complete as to publica-
ton.

The wires Of The World.

The question how far submarine tele-
graph cables have been successful receives
answer from a circular sent us by Mes5rs.
Glass, Elliot & Co., of London, who are,
perhaps, the most extensive manufactur-
ers Of that kind Of wire in the world
They have made and laid twenty-four ca
bles, of total length of Z, ,7S9 statute
miles, and having length of 6,169 miles
Of insulated wire; and on March 29th, Of
this year, all Of this was in perfect and
successful working order, except thirty
six miles-less than one per cent.
The first cable Of their manufsetme
was laid in 1854, and is yet working. The
longest cable they have made and laid is
], ,5S5 miles long, and connects Malta with
Alexandria. L was laid last year, and
consists Of one copper conductor, envel-
oPed in hslfsihoh Of gatta perSha, Gov
cred with eighteen number eleven iron
wires, which form the cable.
The cable next in length measures $40
