more simplicity of calmness, or apparent
thoughtlessness of having committed u

the manner Of her death displeased her.
There Is something inexplicable in the

Gentlemen IL have recently been laboriDg under the
distressing effects of indigestion. accompanied by a pros
trauon Of the nervous system. Numerous remedies were
recommended by friends, and SOME of them tested, but
without relief. Your Hoofiands German Bitters wert
recommended by persons who had tried them, and whose
favorable mention 81 these Bitters induced me TO try
them. l must confess that / had an aversion to Patent
Medicines from the "tholsand and ono" quack "Biiters,"
whose only aim seems to be To palm of sweetened and
drugge d liquor upon the community IN a sly way, and the
tender ICY OF which, 1 fear, is 10 make many "a confirmed

Oinsl preparation, ! took it with happy effect. Its &C
tion, not only upon the stomach, but upon the nerv.u vi
syste m, was prompt and gratifying. l feel that / have
deris ed great aud permanent benefit from the use Of q
few bottles. Very respectfully yours,

. Mile Marietta Rayel made another de-
, cided hit last evening by the manner in
which sheacquitted herself in the perform
ance Of her trio of characters in the play of
the " Wizard Sklff.p Her movements are
exceedingly graceful, and her pantomime
expressive. Numbers of our theater-goers,
having expressed a desire to witness Mile
RavePs performance on the tight rope, she
has resolved to crafty them this evening.
We hazard nothing insaying that upon the
tight rope she has no living equal She
has lost none of the talent possessed by her
celebrated family, and each day seems but
to develop some new beauty in her repre-
sentation of pantomimic drama. In addi-
ton TO the tight rope performance Of Mile
Ravel, we are to have the drama OF the
" Broken Sword,n Marietta as Myrtillo.
The engagementof Mile Rayel is for a
very short period, and we trust that our
citizens will testify to their appreciation of
the exertiOns put forth by Manager Ellsler,
by seeing to it that "old Drury" is filed
nightly, We can assure those who attend
that they will have no cause to regret it.

Congress.

This body starts'out with the determina-
tion to consummate the most revolutionary
Radicalism,, They propose to take out of
the hands of the President the pardoning
power; they propose to diyest him of the
appointing power, as far as possible; they
propose to displace from Office the appoint
ees made by him during vacation for
political reasons; they propose to provide
for continuous sessions Of Congress; and
in the Republican caucus, held on Sataf-
day night, wherein THADDEUs STEVENS
was ,ringmsster, it was disclosed that four
fifths OF the members present were ia, favor
of the Impeachment of the President.
SIEyENs gave joy to the .assemblage by de-
.claring that at the late session he had been
Conservative; but that now he proposed
to go to the root of the matter. All the
Intelligence from Washington comedies
that Radlcalism is audacious and wagger-
in g, and that Conservatism receives no
countenance. If our readers can recognize

AsIigh,Improvement. A

We noticed yesterday that the tracks OF
the street railroad at the crossing of Rich
street were being bouldered, extending
northward. This will be an improvement
in that locality, where, in wet weather, the
water and mud stands nearly six inches in
depth. High street at present is in most
miserable, condition from one end to the
other, and it is high, time that the City
Fathers took some energetic measures to
thoroughly repair. if either by bordering
or by the Nicholson pavement. We hope
that the City Council, now ON a trip Of OBJ
serFation, will mature some. plan which
they will be ready to put in execution on
their return. ''iaA 'a 5s g'''n ,g 10 w.

2 A'PiiIabIe Excnse.

The Journal undertakes to excuse itself
for the'want of enterprise it displayed in
not publishing the Presidents Message in
advance. of its regular publication, by say
ing that. the public did not feel any concern
ia what the President might have to say to
Congress, and that hence mo effort has been
made on the part Of any journal governed
by any intelligent spirit Of enterprise to
give the Message toits readers in advance
of the usual hour Of publication" This is
a most pitiable excuse. Never before in
! this city was the demand equal to the de-
mand on Monday afternoon for extras con-
tanning an annual Message OF the Presi-
dent of the United States. There was anx-
yiety to see what the President would have
to, say in view Of the triumph of the Radi-
,calsin the recent eleetions-anxiety to see
whether he would swerve from his before
avowed determination to stand inflexibly
by thee Constitution. a1aaG slHW .a11

the Coachmaker's Union, West State street.
The gehtleman's remarks were fluent,
and, at times, eloquenty given, and were
we'll received. He urged upon working
men to consolidate in urging the Eight
Hourlaw upon the State Legislature, not
that they might have, time for dissipa-
ton, but for thought and study. Work.
yingmen themselves, he said, do notyet cor
rectly appreciate their need of more hours
to themselves. They have gone on so long
with only time for few hours for sleep,

The counties through which it passes
abound in agricultural and mineral prod
