The number of persons afflicted with weak
and diseased eyes is astonishing. And it is
quite as astonishing that there are so few
persons who seem to know how to success
fully treat such diseases. The eye is perhaps
the most delicate organ of the human frame,
and should be treated with skill and care
when diseased, as the least mistake may cause
imperfect vision for life time.
The writer of this was afflicted with weak
and diseased eyes for several years, and had
tried, without success, for long time, to
restore them to health, but was unsuccessful
until he applied to DR.. ]. J. Jewett, Of
Xenia, Ohio, who, in less than two months,
restored his vision to its usual strength and
keenness. We regard DR.. ]. as one of the
most competent and successful oculists in the
country, and would recommend those suffer-
ing from weak or sore eyes to place them.
selves under his care, if practicable. This
testimonial to DR.. Us skill is entirely unso-
licited, but is given for the benefit of those
who are suffering and know not where to
find relief

Danger in DeInY.

The sanitary condition OF Washington is
doubtless one of the greatest danger, and
one which is chargeable to the Indifference
and the chronic want of foresight of the
medical authorities. 1t is indisputably true
that the atmosphere of that city, even in its
normal condition, is specially typhoid
readily generating fevers Of that particular
class. And the present cold and damp
weather, which, as yet, has been unaccom-
panied by frost in that vicinity, fearfully in
cresses this atmospheric tendency.
Typhus fever is at present the all-prevail-
ing disease-not only in the hospitals aud
camps but in the houses of private families:
in Washington as we'll as Georgetown. AL
most the slightest infammatory complaint,
especially such as results from catching cold,
runs into typhoid fever-not at first epi-
demic, but liable soon to become so if ener-
getic and stringent measures are not adopted
at once and on q scale commensurate with
the prevalence of the disease. Physicians,
however, of long standing and repute in
Washington appear to dread prescribing in
the cases referred TO from a conviction that
the apparently insignificant complaint may
really become an epidemic.
The P-Incipal aggravating circumstances
which tend TO increase the unhealthiness of
the Capital are that the city is without
special health officer and that the venerable
and punctiliOus Army Medical Board is too
much subject TO the influence of red tape
and circumlocution to attend to the dangers
accumulatiDg daily, hourly and on all sides.
Streets, alleys, cutters are reeking with ac-
cumulations OF putrescent filth, in constant
state of fermentation, filling the air far and
wide with stencil and masma. Consider
able mortality prevails among the vast num-
Der of horses and mules collected for the
public service, and some of the carcasses re.
main uninterred for days; or, if they are
| inferred, at a minimum depth, and in low,
undrained ground, almost within the city
or the suburbs, and at times one can see pro-
| truding from the soil the feet of the half
| buried animals.
That the wagon. yards ought to be regu-
larly and thoroughly cleaned is surely self
| evident; but under the present arrangements,
when this is done, the offal is so disposed as
TO increase the insalubrity of the atmosphere.
And sure hospitals ought to be under such
police and sanitary regulations as to prevent
their surroundings from being so offensive
as they are. If Congress will not move, aud
move with speed and energy-passing over
the Army Medical Board-if Congress will
not take the affair in hand, and appoint act
i've and trustworthy civilians, invested with
discretionary powers, and supplied with snf-
fcient funds for cleansing and purifying the
atmosphere, then Typhus, aud not Beaure
gard, will ere long force both the Govern
ment and the Inhabitants generally to aban
don the doomed city.-NeW York Tribuns.

The ISLAND OF HAYTI.-The following in
teresting information respecting the agri-
cultural products of Hayti has been received
at the Department of State, from Seth Webb,
Jr., ESQ.,, United States Commercial Agent
at Port au Price
All the agricultural products of Hayti are
this year larger than for many years. The
coffee crop is usually good, both in quality
and in quantity, and larger than it ever
has been since the time of the French. 1t
will, it is said, exceed fifty millions Of
pounds. The export duty on coffee is
! 3-4 cents pound; and the Government
derives from this source alone, the present
year, $875,000-a sum sufficient, if prop
erly spent, to meet all the public expenses.
So easy is it to raise revenue in an island
as rich as this.
Hayti is admirably adapted to the Guilt
vation Of cotton, and could alone supply the
whole demand of England. Like every
other vegetable product cotton grows here
luxuriantly, and two crops year can be
picked. In quality, both the native cotton
and that which comes from sea island and
other foreign seed are excellent. The sta
pie is long, thick and fine, and 1 think re-
quires different gins and machinery from
our coarser kinds. The want of these has
probably been the reason why our Ameri-
can manufacturers have found some diff
Guilty in using Hay tien cotton. In England,
however, it is in common use for mixing
with coarser kinds; and it brings a good
price in all the great cotton markets Of
Europe.

A MARRIAGE A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
The following extract from the GentIemdn's 5
Magazine for 1850, may not be uninterest-
ing to our readers "Married, in June,
1850, Mr.. William Donkin, a considerable
farmer, of Great Tosson, (near Rothbury,)
in the county of Northumberland, to Miss
Elanor Shoton, an agreeable young gentle
woman, of the same place. The entertain
ment on this occasion was very grand, there
being provided no less than one hundred
and twenty quarters of lamb, forty-four
quarters of veal, twenty quarters of mutton,
a great quantity of beef, twelve hams, with
a suitable number of chickens, &c., which
was concluded with eight half ankers of
brandy made into punch, twelve dozen Of
cider, great many gallons of wine. and
ninety bushels of malt made into beer.
The company consisted Of five hundred and
fifty-nine ladies and gentlemen, who con-
cluded with the music of twenty-five fddlers
and pipers, and the whole was concluded
with the utmost order and unanimity."

The PET LAMBs.-The Wheeling Inteli.
genceT chronicles the arrival there, on the
26th, of thirty-four "secesb" prisoners,
known as moccasin rangers. They were
caught in Writ, Roane and Girmer Counties.
The cold weather had driven them in for
shelter.
They had eaten up every thing in the
woods, including hoop-pole bark, and were
forced to come into civilized neighborhood
to get something to eat. Some of them are
lame, halt and frosted, and there is scarcely
a comfortable suit of clothes in the whole
crowd. Among the number is the notorious
Dan Dusky, who boasted that he had little
graveyard of his own in which he had buried
a considerable number of Union men.
Coming up on the boat during Christmas
day, Captain Baggs got pitcher of whisky
and gave the ''pet lambs" as he calls them, a
Christmas drink all around.

public meeting, recently held to open the
new circuit in the region of Pastow Marsh,
East London, Mr.. jeffrey, working mau,
in an address, mentioned a most touching
and beautiful incident: "a poor woman had
once felt the force of an appeal to have
brick in house of prayer near her dwelling.
She had no money, but she found three bricks
near her cottage door, which she carefully
washed till they looked like new, and she
took them TO her minister. She was poor,
were put at the foundation stone, because
she had done what she could" We are sure
that no other three bricks in that house were

Bank Of the state Oh Indiana.

Considerable interest has been felt to know
what course the Ohio and Indiana Banks
would pursue after the suspension of specie
payments by the Eastern banks. A large
portion of the currency of this city is com.
posed of the issues of the Bank of the State
of Indiana. The card below, from the Presi.
dent of that institution, will be read with
interest, as it states positively that in no
contingency will that bank suspend specie
pay ments. This announcement gives the
best evidence of the soundness of ths bank
Since it commenced business it has wealth
cred severe financial storms successfully,
proving that its affairs are conducted with
great sagacity, prudence and financial skill.
If it redeems its pledge made at its starting,
and which it now renews, that its notes shall
always be converted into coin upon demand,
it will gain the entire confidence of the pub
lie in its future management and its ability
to comply with the stringent provisions Of
its charter.
The following is the Presidents card, pub
lished in the Indianapolis Sentinel
Editor Sentinel: AS the suspension of the
Eastern banks may create some uncertainty
among the people of Indiana in regard to the
policy that will be pursued by this institu-
ton, consider it my duty faithfully to say
that this action of these banks had been an
ticipated, and that their example will not be
followed by US. Under no conceivable cir
cumstapces will the Bank of the State of In
diana suspend specie payments. We have
frequently given to the people of the State
the pledge that our notes should always be
convertible into coin. This pledge we shall
in good faith, fulfill.

WIT AND WTspOlf.

There is no such thing as an easy chair
for a discontented man.
What burthen is leisure To mind un-
prepared for its enjoyment
Those who heed not Gods writ are often
forced 10 heed the sherifs.
Live down calumny; the best reply to
slanderous reports is good life.
Follow the fashion; you had better dis
play other peoples follies than your own.
CmLDREN.-The smallest are nearest
God, as the smallest stars are nearest the
sun.
He who knows his ignorance is the pos
SCISSOR of the rarest kind Of valuable knowl-
edge.
Some people are so obtuse than one
would hardly think they could have an
aceute disease.
A promise is just debt which should
always be paid, for honor and honesty are
its security.
Children always turn toward the light.
o, that grown-up people in this would be-
| come like little children.
All of us who are worth any thing, spend
our manhood in learning the follies or ex-
plating thFmistakes ofour youth.
Forgiveness, the noblest of all self-denial,
is virtue, which he alone who can practice
in himself can willingly believe in another.
The discovery of truth by slow, pro-
gressive meditation, is wisdom. Intuition
of TRUTH not preceded by perceptible medi-
tation, is genius.
If you wait for others to advance your
interests in this world, you will have to
wait so long that your interests will not be
worth advancing at all.
The world goes ever on. 1t is strange
how soon, when a great man dies his place
is filled, and so completely that he seems no
longer wanted.
We don't want men who will change, like
the vanes of our steeples, with the course
of every breeze; but men who, like mount
aims, will change the course of the wind.
It is curious to note the old sea-margins
of human thought Each subsiding century
yields some new mystery; we build where
monsters used to hide themselves.

never be poor-your wants will be but few

RECRUITING THE REGIMEETs.-A Washing
ton correspondent, writing under date of
December 20, says:
The determination of the Government to
take into its own hands the recruiting OF the
regiments in the States, was induced by a
comparison of the accounts of expenditures
by the volunteer and regular services.
Efforts were made yesterday by the Gov.
ernoTs of no less than three different States
tried by the War Department, which is de-
termined to reduce the expenditures for the
army whenever it is possible to do SO. This
led to the refusal in the AdiutAnt- Generals q
office of the application of Governor Morgan
TO have his staff adopted by the Govern.
ment, and PAID out of the Federal Treasury
retrOspectiVely as well as for the future.

Messrs. Mason and Slidell were of no use
to the United States Government. We were
possessed of their dispatches, and may con-
slider ourselves happily rid of these persons.
But the English Government, by the AFRO
CANT tone of its demands, has left a new seed
of bitterness against their nation in the
hearts of the American people, which will
bear its fruit in the time to come. All now
understand that it is the determined policy
of that Government to shatter aud destroy
our nationality. The public meetings
the loyal South, on the same platform years
ago, display frantic sympathy with the
rebelliOus South. So they would sympathize
with the Dictator of Mexico, or the Chief of
the Csmanches, if there were a prospect OF
detroying through them the Republic of the
United States. We must bide our time
