GLORIOUS NEWS FOR TEE LADIES.
A PREVENTIVE TO HAVE CHILL
OREM.

Hear what the Cincinnati Weekly Press says on the 9th
OF March, 1859:
We are decidedly opposed to drugs and to advertised
remedies for the prevention Of having children, but we
feel it our duty to acknowledge a benefit from any and from
every source when it is for the relief of suffering humanity.
A fact has come to our knowledge that ought to be pro-
mulgatod and widely circulated for the benefit OF those
ladies whose delicate health makes 1t necessary to prevent
any increase OF family.
About twelve months after marriage, q lady Of our AZ
quaintanoe gave birth to a daughter, but her sufo- !ngs
were so great that her physicians ~despaired Of her recovery.
This made her dread the very thoughts Of again becoming
O mother. She tried every thing TO prevent a repetition
other ~sufcrings, but without succeeding. Two years after
marriage she was again confined, but her sufferings were
SO great that the child died, and her own life was ~despalred
Of. She WIS told by her family physician that II sho had
any more children he feared her life would he the forfeit.
As all the remedies she had tried before had failed, she
appled to the Botanic Physician, DR.. RAPHAEL,

Rice chartered the steamer Cecil to the Gos-
eminent through Hall at $T5 per day, although
he had offered to Hall to charter her for $50
per day. Hall inserted in the charter party
the sum of $50, saying to Rice, ayou can
give me the extra So" Rice refused to coun-
tenance this. Hall, the Committee say, "ei-
ther snnulled the character satisfied Capt.
Rice that b. had done so, for the purpose OF
getting the boat into the hands Of some one

The Committee say steamers which cost

a rate of $345.65 per annum. equal to 5s9a

hatbor service, was charteted at $50 per day
for the Government, though unable to do SER
vice enough to pay forthe fuel she consumed.

MASSACHUSETTS OUT IN THE COLD.

Upon this subject the Springfield Repubi-
can has the following suggestive paragraph
One of our high state officials lately received
letter from the COMMITTEE on education In
the Missouri legislature, to the effect that as
Missouri was to become a free state by the ac-
tion of its present legislature, and that not
through the mere good pleasure of tn" legis-
lature itself, but because the people demand
ed it, the next thing to be provided for was
system OF popular education. And as tho
engrafting of the Massachusetts, system upon
the newly made free state offered the readiest
as well as the best means of securing the OBJ
ject desired. all of our educational reports and
such german information as could be- Furnish
ed otherwise, were solicited. To our mind
this looks marvelously like realization OF
that darling dream of the copperheads-
ing Massachusetts ont In the cold. The pre-
sumption is that when Missouri shall have be-
come free state, with the zeal and enthnsi-
asm of a new convert to the true faith, she
will find herself in infinitely closer sympathy
with our old Commonwealth than with the half
converted and doubtfuly inclined free states
more Immediately upon her borders, The
copperheads of Indiana and illinois will prob
ably wake up some Of these fine mornings to
find an uncomfortable ssire in the rear .

Ravenna Volunteer Infantry Company, SO
that an organization can take place, and arms
be drawn. This must be done by the 24th or
the enterprise is failure. Will the men of
Ravenna allow this There should be but
one response to the call. The volunteer Or
ganization is far preferable to the regular mi
litia service, and those liable to do military
duty should be wise enough to accept its pro-
vision. It should be the pride of Ravenna
to have this Company filled, armed and drill
ed, and ready for duty, if the service should
at any time be required, as such military or
ganization could perform. Let us be wiss
enough and patriotic enough to secure this
most important object. 1t is an honorable
post. 1t entails no present or prospective
hardship-apathy should not loose US worl

Da. WrBp.-Many of the readers of this


DR.. WEBB.-Many of the readers of this
paper remember the smooth-tongued Doctor,
who was two years or SO ago incarcerated in
the Ravenna Jail, at the time the gang of
counterfeiters in this County and vicinity
wefe broken up by Marshal johnson and his
deputies. The old villain played an impor-
tant part in that criminal drama, as informer-
in-chief He is again in official hands. From
the following the reader viii see that if there
be "honor' among thieves" that quality is
lacking among counterfeiters of the DIR. Webb
sshool.
."DR WEBB" IN A New CHARACTER
The Cleveland Leader of Saturday says:
/" The Grand Jury yesterday afternoon re-
turned an Indictment against Dr.J oshua Webb.
whose arrest we have previously noted, con-
tanning eight counts, for making and passing
bogus quarter eagles dollars, half and quarter
dollars, dimes, &C. He is now in Jail, and
will probably be arraigned when the Court
meets this morning. aeI
The Pittsburg Chronicle says:
Our readers doubtless recollect something
of this .' DIR. Webb" He first appeared here
in connection with the notorious Newcomer,
but, though taking an active part in "putting
up'' the various counterfeiting cases in which
the latter was concerned he was generally
kept in the background, and very rarely ap-
peared on the stand. His plan of working is
said to have been as follows Selecting a
suitable subject for a victim he visited his
place as "Dr. Webb" and, either with or
without his consent, introduced bogus mate
rials, dies, acids, presses, coins, as the case
| might be, into the house. If with his con-
sent, a time was fixed for turning out a lot of
bogus, and everything having boen prepared
| for the purpose, the doctor" proceeded to
show the other how ait was DONE" The
stuff was melted and poured into the moulds,
which were then laid aside to cool, but about
this time the chief operator generally had
occasion to leave for a moment, cautioning
the other to watch closely over the imple-
ments till he returned.
The rest is soon told. Hurrying to place
of rendezvous previously fixed upon with
| Newcomer, he found the latter with several
policemen, perhaps in waiting, and, informing
them of how things stood, they hurried to
| the house and surprised their victim, sur
rounded by evidence enough to send a dozen
men to the penitentiary. Webb, of course,
never returned to the house, and any state
ment the prisoner made respecting him was
"pooh poohed - by the police, who had
heard " enough such stuff as that BEFORE" and
knew how far to believe it. If the intended
victim did not chime in with the Doctors
plans as described above, the stuff was secre-
ted in the house, and the police informed
whero they might find it, so that the result
in either case was about the same. The vic
tim was detected with evidence of guilt
around him, which it was not in his power to
explain away, and, as a general thing, the
rascals succeeded in the object of their con.
spiracy.
