vival.
At the Warwick Methodist Protestant

Coughs and COlds.-During the change
able seasons of Fall and Winter, when
coughs and colds are so frequent, no person
should be without some valuable 1repara-
ton for their cure. They should recollect
that neglected cough or cold frequently
terminates in consumption. Hssom's
Compound Syrup Of Tar is the best and
most reliable article known for the cure of
coughs, colds, hoarsness, chronic, catarrhs,

The Second Lecture Of the Course.
Wednesday evening next, 10th inst, Hon.
James w. Wall, of New Jersey, will de-
liver the second Lecture of the course, sub
ject &c Woman's True Mission" This is a
subject about which there is great diver
sity of opinion, and will afford ample scope
for great lecture. AS Mr.. Wall is n man
of thorough culture and eminent ability, a
very able and interesting lecture may be
expected. The learned lecturer as U. S.
Senator from New Jersey has filled a very
important place as leader of the Demo-
cratic party, we may reasonably expect
that "Woman's True Mission" in his
hands will he made to differ very widely
from that chalked out by Mrs. Child
Lucy Stone, Cady Stanton, and other
"strong- minded" of her sex. The subjec-
belongs to that class which may very prop
erly be styled, live subjects of the time,
and the discourse, there is no reason to
doubt, will prove most interesting and i'll
structive in the hands of the able lecturer

Mail Facilities.-We are gratified to an
nounce, that through the untiring perse-
verance of our postmaster and his efficient
deputy, and after meeting with all the de-
lay and battling, apparently, which the
Post Office Department could place in the
way of accommodating the public, at this
Office, a plan was hit upon, some three
weeks S nee, which served to accommodate
our citizens with an afternoon mail to Phil
adelphia and New York. The mail mat
ter collected at this Office after the morning
mail is sent out, is put into postal car
pouch and sent to Baltimore by the COY p.
NJ. train, where, by arrangement with the
Department, it is transferred to the postal
car, and carried through to Philadelphia
and New York, reaching those cities in
time for delivery the next morning.

broadway Tabernacle.

The Rev. Pastor PLATTE, late from Nice, attracted
a very large audience last evening at the broadway
Tabernacle and in the pulpit usually occupied by DR..
Thompson. The congregation for the evening was
in many respects new one to the Broadway Taber-
nace; speaking language which would have been
gibberish to the greater proportion OF the cOngrega
ton Of the afternoon or morning. The house was
lled in fact, mostly with whilon denHeis OF sunny
France gathered and attracted, perhaps, more by
the novelty Of listening To sermon In ther native
tOngue-though this Is less uncommon ia New YORK
than is generally supposed-than for any reason o1
belief or religion The body Of the house was well
flled however, for whatever reason, with an audi
ence in which tue new faces predOminatng had been
occasionally interiardesi with faces matutlnaIy up
turned to DIR. Thompson.
II was quarter OF eight when Pastor PLATTE as
cended the pulpit and the services began, without
any great deal OF ceremony, though with some fea-
lures about them not entirely familiar 10 an Ameri-
can, and no doubt. indigenous to the worship OF the
East and part OF the ritual once intone in old BY
Zantium.
After the usual services Pastor Platte announced
the text ana proceeded with the sermon.
