tbs GOLDEN AdE or EArgRPRisa.-SiuUe tile
creation Of the world, m era hrs been SO dis
tiHguished for its valuable discoveries ~ the
XIXth century, and no people mnre eu,erprsing
than those Of America. Though this is an age
of magnificent projects, yet many Of these pro-
iects, however, which have for their immediate
object the greatest benefit Of the human race,
fail In accomplishing the desired end. For in-
stance, the abOIs Of temperance lectures, re-
formatories for inebriates, philanthropists, &c
have had but little success on the general mas1
of mankind. We are in hopes, however, that at
last we have the right man III the right place

celebrated Sambuci wine promises to supersede
all the alcoholic posons in the country. AS
wine il is healthy, innocent and delicious, with
tut tue least danger of intoxeatiOn. We epeak
adyisedly, having tried IL ourselves To persons
who are weak and sickly, the use OF the Samhuoi
wine will restore their health and strength
Physicians, clergymen and temperance advocates
should encourage the use of the Sambuci wine,
and thus aid the cause Of temperance and mod
Grafton. We especially recommend it to fami-
lies for its purity, exquisite flavor and healthy
properties. Medical men certify TO its valuable
medicinal powers. We understand that Mr.
Speer has been for years engaged in preparing
and perfecting it, and that ii requires a four
years process before it is fit for the market

Mill DAMS BROKE.-The heavy freshet on
Tuesday caused the gates at Casperson's mill,

not near so serious as the former.
