So wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu-
merous are the cases Of its cures, that almost ey
cry section of country abounds in persons public
ly known, who have been restored from alarm
ing and even desperate diseases of the lungs by
its use. When once tried, its superiority over
every other expectorant is too apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues are known,
the public no longer hesitate what antidote to
employ for the distressing and dangerous affec-
lions ofthe pulmonary organs that are incident
to our climate. While many inferior remedies
thrust upon the community have failed and been
discarded, this has gained friends by every trial,
conferred benefits on the afflicted they never
forget. and produced cures too numerous and
too remarkable to be forgotten. ae7a
We can only assure the public, hatitsquality
is carefully kept up to the best it ever has been,
and that it may be relied on to do for their relief

MAYORS Court, August 5.-The excitement OF
politics has taken the place of other amusements,
and the cases before the Mayors Court are few and
far between. Only few hardened sinners an
swered to roll call, who could not forget that Sun
day was holiday, and consequently went in for a
bender.
One of these was boy in blue, who invested
few dimes in some bottled lightning, which had
the effect of making him decidedly light headed
Feeling in gay and festive humor he roamed
about until he encountered barber's post. Some
thing in the appearance Of the colors struck him
as familiar and he commenced apostrophizng
them in eloquent strains and calling for assistance
to unfurl the flag. Hi2 noise soon brought rein
forcements, who tore him from his loved emblem
and carried him, struggling captive to the
Guard House. His barber-ous effort was explained
to him and he was sent to the Provost Marshal,
whe will keep him better posted for short time.
One BROWN, who was by some strange freak also
white, though no relation to old JOHN, whose soul
is marching on, put himself gently outside Of
few anti-scorbutic drops but they proved to be too
strong for his system. and he hid himself and his
woes in gutter. BYRON said truly that the 'Devil

tention of a wandering star, night errant, who,

pleasant young man, who was in the habit of
smiling with his acquaintance, went to tavern
one night, and drinking too much rum, brandy and
such, ne soon got exceedingly tight. This being
his normal condition, he made himself thoroughly
at home-so much so that he was requested to
leave the establishment; but not being in an ac-
oommodating mood he declined, and tried to clean
out things himself. The perice were attracted by
the row, and carried the mild-mannered young
man to quiet spot, where he had an opportunity
of moditating on the snake in the glass.
A man who went down to the sea in ships came
on shore and got half seas over, that making him
feel lively he took position on the Bay and called
on some imaginary beings to ROW the boat gently
down the stream, but was astonished to find him
self tackled to strange craft and carried to q new
dock. He was hauled in and after the necessary
repairs was turned out joyfully singing 90 life on
the ocean wave.''
