shocked and panied to hear Of the sudden death
in Harriscnburg, on Friday last, VIM. Nick.
Wartmann, Esq, clerk of Rockingham county
court, and also commissioner in chancery for
the circuit court. Mr.. W., was well known
throughout the county, and highly esteemed. He
was an officer of fine capacity, and gentleman
possessed of a large fund of information, which
made him entertaining companion and on
agreeable associate. He was aged about 48 years,
we would suppose, and leaves widow, and num-
erous relations to mourn their loss. He had no
children. He was brother of J. H. Wartmann
Esq, editor Of the Rockingham Register.
We direct attention to the advertisement of
Armstrong. Gator & Co., Baltimore, in to-day s
paper This firm is SO well known in the Valley
Of Virginia, that it is superfuous to say anything
in commentator of it. Ever since we have been
connected with the press Armstrong, Gator s. Co.
have been regarded as model business men, and
all that was wanting was for them to simply an
nounce the fact that they were ready for the sea-
son trade. This they do to- day. This is sufici-
ent for old dealers. There may be some new be-
ginners in business, who are not acquainted with
the best places where TO purchase the various
lines Of goods which make up the stock of store.
Ii SO, we recommend them to call this fpHa
whose place Of business will be found indicated
in the advertisement.

The worcestershire engineers in the en-
ploy of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, whose
presence here we noticed last week, surveyed the
grounds belonging to the company, lying in the
fiat, Immediately South of the line of the road in
the Western suburbs of the City, and located q
site for shops, and an engine house sufficient to
accommodate 4S engines. This looks like bust
ness. They came quietly, did their work, and
left with so little to say, that few persons knew
they were here. We are not prepared to an
nounce that the shops are fixed fact, but we are
inclined to the belief from what we have heard,
that there is doubt of their location at this
point. Of course, they will be of considerable
magnitude, especially if the road from this point
to Washington is constructed. This is the first
division from Richmond, over hundred miles,
and about equal distance from the point west,
where another division commences

DR.. CosENs' MEDIcINEs.-We direct attention
to the certificates in another column, to the vir-
tues of Or. Cosens' medicines We have had
some experience with Dr. Cosens' as Veterinary
Surgeon, and can testify to his thorough know
ledge of the ills to which horse flesh is heir. We
called him once to attend a horse which at the
time we would have taken $40 for, SO helpless did
we think his case. 1t was knotty one, but the
DR.. took hold of it, ana in less than week be had
entirely cured him, and we sold the animal for
$3.50.
We have heard his medicines spoken of by nu-
merousrersons who have tried them, fwho are un-
limitedin their concentrations of their virtues
His English White Oil has been tested in rheum-
atism and sprains in persons and Invariably has
effected cures. All his medicines are harmless,
and Their is no danger therefore in making q trial
OF them. They cost but trife.
