DR LIaHrHILL-DeGr Sir: Under date
Of March IA, I sent you 8 careful statement
Of my case, my former treatment, my fail

resort to your treatment and its beneficial
results.
I have been, from the winter ofthe yesl

times the attendant Inflammation would

induce counter action. But none of these
had produced any permanent improve

temporal relief wss afforded, It was at the
expense Of 30 much strength as to leave
me greatly exhausted. Under these cir
cumstances I was led, though with some
reluctance, from the supposed incurability
of the disease, TO make q trial of you

never been reached before, and alleviAtinR

The PhIIe Parsons RObbery-TriaI Of
Reuuet q. RurIey,

The trial Of Bennett G. Burley, one Of
the Lake Erie raiders, took place st Port
Clinton, Ottawa county, on Tuesday and
Wednesday Of last week. Il will be re-.
membered that after he was extrsdited he
was sent for trial to Ottawa county for the
robbery of William Ashley, clerk of the
Philo Parsons. Burley was defended by
Sylvester Lsrned, Esq of Detroit and
Judge Ranney of this city. The prosecu-
ton was conducted by Hon. ]. n. Boot,
United States District Attorney of this
District Alfred Russell, United States
District Attorney for the Eastern District
Of Michigan, and William Annesley, Pros
ecuting Attorney of Ottawa county. The
defense put in q plea against the jurisdic-
ton of the count, and also q plea of sbste-
ment. The prosecution put in demur-
rers TO these pleas, which were
sustained and the trial proceeded. At
the close of the evidence, after the argu-
ments from the counsel, Judge Fitch of
Toledo, who presided, delivered q most
singular charge to the jury, to the effect
In substance that the "Confederscy" was 8
government de faeto, and that if they
found that Burley was 8 regularly com
missioned officer in the Confederate
ststas" navy and that he was acting under
orders in making the raid, he was 8 belli-
gerent, and was not guilty of the alleged
robbery. Notwithstanding this very re-
marksble charge eight jurymen favored q
verdict of guilty. -Four stood out, how
ever, and after five hours elaboration the
jury reported to the court that it could not
agree, and was discharged. The second
trial was set for the October term of court
and Burley was admitted TO bail in the
sum of $4,000 which he will probably
obtain without trouble. The Sandusky
Register says that Burnley confidently ex-
pected 70 be acquitted. We cannot wonder
at it in view of Judge Fitch's charge.
This is probably the last that VI shall
hear of Burley. He will find it easy to
obtain the required amount of bail, and
viii probably never stand a second trial
Thus q notorious and admitted pirate will
go "unwhipt of justice"

FROM REV. N. ROBERTS.
NORTH MADISON, LAKE Co D.,

February 24th, 1864.
DEAR SIR:-I take much pleasure in
informing you that my daughter is much
better of her deafness under your treat
ment. She had the scarlet fever when five
years of age, which left her hearing seri
ously impaired, which seemed also to be
settling down into permanent, and, as we
much feared, perfect and incursble deaf
ness.
We were not a little fearful and unbe-
lieving in n efforts to cure the case, haV-
ing previously applied to other physicians
without success. But under your treat
ment We soon found evidence of decided
improvement. The offensive discharge
soon changed and indicated q healthy
healing process. We T yet making use
of your prescription, and we hope you will
not fail to visit these parts again soon, IS
several of my friends are anxious to see
the good Samaritan, that they may obtain
q little of the oil of consolation Tor them
selves. Respectfully yours,
M. ROBERTS.

attracting much attention. It is. called
"Les Cling Sens" (the Five Ssnses,) and
has been purchased for the Emperor, it is
said, at 8 high price. It is by Schlesinger,

ded into five compartments each repre.

young girl %languidly stretched on a sofa,
though with q countenance full of life and
merriment, has her pulse felt by another
girl in the second, taste is represented by
two very lovely women SLIPPING ices for
hearing, a young girl playing the Aageolet
is seen pursuing another, who stops her
ears; sight is looking through the telescope;
and the sense Of smell is indicated by the
putting of q cigarette by n female figure
which another tries to dissipate with per.
fume. The idea is original, and the heads
pretty, with q certain glitter and richness
of eoloring, which makes up in part for too
much depth of thought or expression.

Reconstruction in Florida.

The PresidenI has issued q proclamation,
precisely similar in language to that for
the reconstruction ofthe other rebel Ststes..
appointing -Riehard T. Marvin as
Provisional Governor of Florida, and pro-
viding for the re-establishment Of State,
and Federal law there. Judge Marvin
was for many years widely known as m
able lawyer in Western New York, then
as a Judge who had few equals upon the
bench. He also represented that portion
of the State during n or two terms in
Congress. Subsequently, be received the
appointment of United States District
Judge for Florids, and removed 30 Koy
West, where he resided until the COM
mencement of the war. His unwavering
loyalty was the cause of his return at that
j~uncture TO New York, and he now goes
back as Provisional Governor Of the State
which his influence and great personal
popularity could not restrain from the
madness of rebellion.
The appointment of Judge Marvin
makes complete the reorganization of the
Southern States a~ccordingt to the Presidents
plan. The Provisional Governors who

A FEARFUL PANIC

The real cause of the panic was the
whistling of g steam fire engine on the
corner of Vesey street and Broadway.
We have heard whistles Of all powers,
from the sickIy effort of = school girl to
the mammoth fog signal at sea-those
TritonS horns which warn sailors of dan
ger; but this disbolicsl thing is a mon
strosity quite indescribable. The whistle,
or, rather, scream, of this engine is q capt.
tai counterfeit of the shrek of an elephant
when in fear or danger, and the similarity
caused some thoughtless person to cry out,
HThe elephant is coming" That added
to the snake alarm, was enough. With
one impulse, the compact mass faced about
and ran in any direction most available.
We stood in the doorway of 8 small store
in the Astor Mouse, Vesey street side, and
in q twinkling we saw and felt something
very like q Rhirlwind-a surging sea Of
heads, of pale faces, staring eyes, out
stretched arms, and the sound Of inarticu-
late cries Of anguish. In two minutes it
was over, and in that time a hundred
people we're more or less iDjured-but we
believe none were killed. The bow window
st our elbow was crushed like an egg she'll.
and in less time than the reader takes ia
perusing five of these lines, about fifteen
persons we're damned through the window
into the store-several of them badly cut
with glass, or bruised by the tremendous
crash. Not 8 few men made their way
over the eight-foot iron fence into St. Paulis
~churcbyard, while many hundreds sped
down n street nearly to the river before
they dared 70 look behind them. The loss
of h6ts, canes, coats and watches, the roll
ing m the mud and reckless tramping over
each other, would have been most ludfcrous
but for the perilous danger. When all
was over, the inventory of smashed hats
and bare hsads was enough to raise a laugh
sven from Knox, whose nne hat store was
IN imminent danger Of the fate which
after ward befel it.

Aggregate in the ULited states--.---ss,0o2sss
The present consumption OF the whole
Union is fully as great as in 1860, and if
the excise of 81 per gallon could be col
lected, therevenue therefrom would amount
to SIG, 100000, or enough to pay the inter
est on the entire national debt when all
the legal tenders are reduced to bonds and
all the floating debt is funded. But the
revenue actually derived from this source
is not one-tenth of this amount. All the
rest is lost by illicit distillation, smuggling,
and corrupt and unfAithful conduct of rev.
euue officials.

forming him OF the total destruction of the
Museum. Although he had but S35JOOU m.
surance thereon, and not $4,000, as re-
ported, he determined not to worry himself
about il, and returning to his home in
Bridgeport he recuperated himself with q
good nights rest, and came on to New
York in the morning. It is his in
tention to open, within a couple
of weeks, q theatre or lecture room.
where he will continue the performance of
the pantomime lately produced at the Mu-
scum, and also the exhibition of the living
curiOsities. Within eight months, backed
by his own untiring energy and liberal
expenditure of money, he believes he will
be able to duplicate every specimen of nat
ural history contained in the Museum, and
also many of the other curiosities. In the
meantime he viii erect q suitable building
for their exhibition, q site for which he is
now earnestly searching for.
