AN ELoPEMENT WITH A Moral
Sometime ago, an Englishman
named Wickwire came to this city
from the land of frogs and roast
beef, and took up his abode at Mrs.
Mathews boarding house, near the
Nail Factory. He is by trade
worker in copper, and said he had
been in this country only six weeks.
He is small man without whiskers,
and is said to be good looking. We
now turn to the heroine Mrs. Sal
mon is a married lady, and for
sometime past has been boarding
at the house of Mr.. Anderson, on
Madison street. She is young,
beautiful, well educated, makes
dresses; and has little girl about
three years old. AS to the husband,
land, perhaps, he ought not to be
neglected altogether.) he is at pres
ent at work in Newburgh as an en-
gineer. The characters being in
troduccd, we now come to our story.
About q week ago, Mrs. Salmon
was engaged to go to Mrs. Math-
ews', where Wickwire boarded, to
do some sewing. They met. 1t
was a fatal hour. But that wasn't
the worst of it-they kept meeting
Wickwire visited her at her board
ing house, on Madison street. and
altogether he was very attentive
Meanwhile Salmon kept on engi
neering at Newburg. Yesterday
occurred the denouement. 1t would
not do, of course, to await the ar
rival of the husband, and oniy the
day before letter was received
from him. The husband and wife
had always lived ON the best of
terms, and We're in frequent com
munication by letter. Yesterday
the lady purchased trunk, and
packed up her things, and together
with her "friends" took the fearful
step. She bid the people at her
boarding house good bye, and said
she was going to Philadelphia. Mr..
Salmon and his wife are both Scotch
by birth, but were married in Den
mark. The wife was well known
in this ci y as a talented singer, and
has been employed at different
times in several of our church
choirs. So far the elope ment is a
success, and the only moral that
can be drawn from the affair at this
time is for the benefit of husbands.
Don't leave your wife to grow lone
some while you are absent in a dis
tant city Troy Wing, July %.

MRS. WlNSLOW'S SOOTHING
SYRUP.

We find the following in the Cali
fornia Medical Gazette, from a cor
respondent:
"Some weeks since / was called
to an infant of six months old, who
was in dying condition apparently
from the effects of narcotic poison
1t had taken no medicine except
this syrup, of which it had taken,
within ten hours, two doses of about
one teaspoonful each. L had the
syrup from which these doses were
given, analysed by skillful chemist.
There were ten dradhms of soothing
syrup in the vial, and it yealded of
morphia and othet opium alkaloids,
l IA 100 grains, very nearly one
grain to the ounce of syrup.
This result astonished me. The
printed directions for administering
the madeleine are as follows:
Fer child under Que month old,
six to ten drops; three months old,
half teaspoonful three or four
times day until free from pain,
In dvsinterv repeat the above dose
every two hours, until the character
of the discharge is changed for the
better. Here we have a dose oil
morphene equal to ten drops of lau-
danum, given to a child of three
months everp two hours. and dou-
BILE the quantity to a child of SIX
months old.
Il have always discouutenanced
the use of this proper ion, as did
not know its composition, and sup
posed it was some anodvne; but
no idea on its deadly strength. II
is a familiar fact that children are
very suscepribl to the influence ol
opium, and four drops of landanum
have been known to kill an infant ol
nine months. / think it important
that this analysis should be publish
ed that the profession, and through
them the public, may be warned Of
the fearful effects CT administering
this dangerous popular nostrum
The Quantity used in the communit,
I
is enormous doubtless it has killed
hundreds of children, and would
kill thousands, were it not by begin
ming in very small doses and grad
ually Undressing, a tolerance of the
immediate poisonous effects is indu
ced, although the miserable little
victims of domestic drugging are
reducdd totpuny and cachectic crea
lures, that are carried offby the first
disease that takes hold of them.
Il have ascertained that there are
about 100000 two ounce bottles o.
it sole annually in this city, making
100000 ounces of Mrs. Winslows
soothing syrup, containing 10000
grains of morphine, which are giver
to the babes of this State. No won

The Woodstock Standard of Thurs
day says: "Governor Washburn's condit-
ion is such as to occasion his friends much
anxiety, but for the last two days he has
grown no worse. His recovery is still
doubtful, but his physicians are not with
out hope of favorable result"
We judge from dispatch received and
from private information, that a sudden
unfayorable change has taken place, and
we fear to hear of his death at any
hour
Since the above was in type we are
panied to learn that our honored Chief
Magistrate is no more. He died at 4 o.
clock yesterday morning, and the people
of state mourn his death. He has filed
a large place in the history of our state
for the last ten years, and an equally
large place in the hearts of the people

Mr.. EDITOR,

Mr.. EDITOR,-
In your issue of Jan. 25th, |
noticed an article by Cyphax headed
ministers" | commenced its perusal
and us | read | became more and more
interested even until the last. The sent
iment of the article as a whole, can
fully endorse. More especially that of
the results of poor preaching, which al
though a common commodity in some
parts is at the present time scarce one
with u.s. Neither are we favored with
the other class mentioned by Cyphax viz,
"smart and yet poor" l feel to differ
with him, however, as to what consti
tutes strong minister If | get his
meaning clearly, it is this, that ne must
be man Of learning strong in theology,
general intelligence, &C., &c. Not so
much as once mentioning the one that |
conceive as the one underlying all ofthese
"The Religion of Jesus Christ" which
qualification he must have to render him
a successful minister Of the Gospel. |
notice further however, that Cyphax is
an occasional nearer only of DR.. Kitchel.
Had he been otherwise, | feel safe in say
ing that he would not have thus overlook
ed this essential item. am also an oc-
casional nearer of the Doctor and have of.
ten heard him urge the Importance of
this, and regarding all else as of secondary
importance.
Another idea advanced by Cyphax rel
alive to other congregations leaving their
places of worship and going where they
could hear the gospel preached as it should
be, leads me to think that he is not!a con-
slant hearer at the Dr's. church, nor any
where else Now while | cheerfully grant
all to the Doctor that is claimed by Cy.
phax and even more, still | find two 9th.
er places in Weybridge where the Gospel
is preached from Sabbath to Sabbath, and
although perhaps not 50 much condensed
as it is by more learned minds yet it is
delivered to the edifcation and benefit Of
the hearers, and perhaps better fitted toi
the ears for which it is prepared.
