THE Proprietors have thousands of Letters
from the most eminent ClerSvmen, Lawyers,
Physicians and Citizens, to their personal
knowledge, to the beneficial effects and medi-
cinAl virtues of these bitters
From Rev. J. Newton Brown, D.. D. Editor of
the Encyclopedias of Religious Knowledge.
Although not disposed to favor or recon
mend Patent Medicines in general. through
distrust of their iugre dents and effects, l
yet know of no sufficient reasons why a man
may not certify to the benefits he believes
himself to have received from any simple
preparation, IN the hope be may thus contrib
ute to the benefit of others.
do this the more readily in regard to Hoof-
| lands German Bitters, prepared by DR.. C. NJ.
Jackson of this city because was prejudiced
| against them for many years, under the i'm.
preston that they were chiefly an alcoholic
mixture. am indebted to my friend Robert
! Shoemake, ESQ, for the removal of this pref
udes by proper tests, and for encouragement
to try them, when suffering from great and
| long continued debility. The use of three
bottles of these Bitters, at the beginning OF
the present year, was followed by evidant
| relief, and restoration to degree of bodily
aud mental vigor which had not felt for stx
months before and had almost despaired OF
regaining. therefore thank God and my
friend for directing me to the use of them.

How IT Looks TO OUTSIDERS. - LOCKERS
on see most of the game, says the proverb; -
and the reason is obvious - they watch the
movements without risk or passion, and with
no absorbing purpose of their own to divert
attention from the plans Of an adversary. The
ST. John IN. b. Globe of the 4th instant
quotes in full the peace resolutions now pend
ing in the Maine House of Representatives
offered, it will be remembered, as an amend
ment to Mr.. Kingsburys resolutions sustain
ing the national Government. This il
what the Globe says of the amendment
proposed by the member from westbrook:
II seems to US that debating a set of resolu-
tons like these is a useless waste of time. They
can do no good, II passed, for the rebels have
declared through their newspapers, and quite
lately In another way, in reply to the Tamma-
ny Hall Democrats at New York. that peace
Is not to be thought of by them, with .sthe I'm
ion as it was and the Constitution as 1t is,r for
basis. Nothing but recognition of their.
Independence will satisfy them; and If Mr.
Smith is in faror Of that he ought 10 come
out like a man and aron IL. His resolutions,
however, can do great deal of harm, as the
very discussion Of them, even il they are not
passed, must tend to embarrass the general
Government

ACCIDENT FROM CARELESS SMOOTHING
Last Saturday, just before the close of the
public school at Ferry Village, Cape Elizabeth,
kept by Miss Merrill, a lad named Collins was
In garden adjoining the school house, firing
ut privy, with musket. One of the balls
passed through the walls Of the privy, through
the wall of the school house and the dash
board inside, striking the leg of a lad named
Lombard, who had il stretched out In the aisle,
passing through his leg, aud through piece
Of zinc on the wall behind the stove and thence
through the partition wall into another room
where the ball was found In a faitened condi-
ton. DIR. Wright was called to attend the
wounded lad. He found that the ball had
made large hole in the leg just above the top
of the boot, but no bones were broken, though
he feared some OF them might be splintered.
1t was entirely an accident on the part of the
lad who fired the musket, though he should
have known better than to have been firing in
30 close proximity to a school-house. He
must have had heavy charge in the gun to
have sent the ball through so many obstacles
~ mentioned above.

RAILRoAD.-In another column will be found
the report of the committee of the City Coun-
ell on this important local measure. The
members Of the committee feel the lack of
experience and of practical knowledge in re-
iation to this enterprise, and though the COM
mittee have considered the subject with much
care, the Council do not deem it wise TO act
hastily, but have published the report with its
amendments for the purpose Of calling the at
tention of our citizens to the matter and mar
ticularly the attention of those whose private
interests are to be affected, or who NAV feel
jealous Of the city's interests, and wish to have
them properly protected. In other words. the
members of the city government invite the
suggestions Of their fellow citizens, and par
ticularly the objections of those who may see
anything Objectionable in the measure as it is
now proposed; for it is the desire of all parties
that an enterprise of SO much Importance
should be SO well laid out and begun that il
may need no change and lead to no regrets.

NJ l.. LEcTURE.-Last evening the City
Hall was crowded in all its parts by an appre-
ciative audience, who, for two hours and a
quarter, listened with wrapt attention to that
wonderful man and natural orator, JOHN B.
GoUGH, Esq. Mr. Coughs subject was Brit
ain, her classes, customs, etc. The lecturer was
evidently laboring under the disadvantages of
hoarse cold, and for time we feared his
voice would fail him, but he gradually warmed
up, and long before he had reached the middle
of his discourse Richard was himself again."
His descriptions were exceedingly interesting;
his presentations perfect, and his humor ire
sistable. The peroration was surprisingly
eloquent, and his reference to our own great
national struggle, and his whole hearted SYM
pathy for the loyal cause of Right, Truth and
Justice, were responded to by the most enthu-
siastic and long-continued applause.
The next, and closing lecture of the course,
will be on Wednesday evening of next week,
by Wendell Phillips, ESQ.
