Ne benefit Of the afflicted, l send you
this certificate. My son having been Sc
verely afflicted with Scrofula for the last
two years-so much so that he has been
confined to his room the greater part of
the time, and had completely despaired of
of physicians without relief, 1 was at last
induced to try your preparation of
QUEENS DELIGHT. 1 am happy to say
it has acted like charm-increased his
appetite, purified and enriched his blood,
improved his health, and although covered
with running sores, from which many
pieces OF bone worked out, yet, to my great
astonishment, all except one has healed
up: A few more bottles will accomplish a
radical cure. 1 regard your medicine a
wonderful panacea, and should be gene
rally used. Yours truly. June 26

Boon AT WILLIAMsPoRT.-lt was rumored at
Havre de Grace, on Monday last that the boom
at Williamsport had given way. This rumor
perhaps, originated or gained currency from the
fact of the very large number of logs and guam
titles of drift coming down. The river was very
high on Monday morning and still raising. We
have not heard anything of the condition of the
water FOR the last day or two but presume it has
fallen, ASA high river at this season Of the year
does not usually continue long.
The Lancaster LHteligencer Of the goth inst
says:
A boom broke loose at Lock Haven early yes
| terday morning, setting afoat an immense num-
Der of logs, which came down the river on their
way TO the Chesapeake Bay. They commenced
floating by Harrisburg about o'clock last even
ing and the river ran full all night. Many will
doubtless he caught up on the way down, but
the loss will be immense. The river is brim full
and RATS have suspended running
The great probability, therefore, is that it was
the breaking away of the boom at Lock Haven
and not at Williamsport, as has been represented,
which has filled the river with logs.

GLANDERED HoRsEs The West Chester TPa. I
Jefersonian gives an account of rather a new
mode of treating glandered horses when intend
ed tor sale or trade. The plan is one which per-
haps the uninitiated would never have thought
of, and as the country is full, just now, of ami
mails affected with this disease we give the fol-
lowing account of one of the tricks which NAV
be played on travellers, for the benefit of those
who deal in horse flesh:
Mr.. Henry, day before yesterday, among his
transactions at the horse market, sold to a horse
drover fine appearing horse, which he repre-
scented in the language of the profession as
'sound and kind" The drover paid his money
down, bought other horses till he had drove of
twenty, aud then started for West Chester,
where he had a contract to fill. On his way
down the West Chester pike he noticed that
the horse had constant tendency to sneeze an
operation which seemed to it very difficult to
perform AT last rs it totted along, prod-
gious sneeze blew out plugs from its nose. What
subsequently followed revealed to the alarmed
droVer that his new purchase had the CHAMBERS.
An examination showed that the nose (very in
humanity had been plugged. Quick as his
frightened hands could move, he separated the
diseased animal from the rest, found the nearest
inn, and stabling all except it, hurried back to
the city TO prosecute Brock, who he believes,
swlndled him. 'derman Allen held Brock this
morning iot further heoring.

Tide Water Canal.

We have received the following interesting
communication from a gentleman prominently
connected with the internal Improvements of this
State
Mr.. EDIToR.-I pleased to that your correspon-
dent at ayre de Grace continues to furnish the readers of
the EGs" with weekly report of the trade Of the Tide
Water Canal.
This work was opened to the trade the Sth day
April but up to this period the trade has been limited
and entirely local in It's character owing to delay in
the opening of the division of the Pennsylvania
Canal occsoned by the erection of stone lock,
near Marietta, at point known rs "llog Pen Lock-"
The elevation the Marietta level to the Banbridge
level was formerly overcome by two lift locks Of about
feet each the work is intended to dispense with
of these locks and to the elevation by single
lock sixteen feet lift The accomplishment of this OBJ
iect made it work of very considerable magnitude
Much excavation and heavy entertainments necessary
effect the proper functions OF the two levels with tho
new lock
The work is now, however, so far completed to per-
init the passage of the water, through Columbia to-
day. and he hoped that have again restored
to us a continuous navigation from tide water to the
coal and timber regions the north and west branches
of the Ssquehanna and that of activity to the
fullest extent of the requirements of trade may follow
The Columbia and Reading Rail Road Company erect
ing pier the river and series Of tresse works at Co
lumba for the purpose ofeXtensive shipments of coal
over the Tide Water Canal to Baltimore, from the Schuy
kill and Pine Grove regions 1t said the work is being
prosecuted with great gor and hopes expressed that
1t will be far completed to the shipment
of coal by the LIST OF September next. 5.
