Sockbridge, of the Fountain Hotel, Light street, Bultimore— Dear Sir: Being on the point of Horne Se city, I avail myself of a few idle moments to nk you Kindly for the medicine you sent me, and ehich has Teatored me to the use of my limbs. I beg you to Sead me four bottles more, to carryon my voyage. Si ce I had the fortune to use Dr. Hampton’s Vege table Tincture my confidence is so strong that, in @! stitude 0 the proprietors of said medicine, I beg pa to present my respects to them, and induce -m to make it more publicly known as asure Rheumatic cure. Having called on me on the 19th of April last, and seen me prostrated on my bed, uassless in all my liabs, you can appreciate nearly aa well as myself the prompt relief { received from Dr. Hampton’s Tincture, and Iam positive had it mot been for your strong and forcible recommenda- tieas [ should still have been in bed. It is really a pity this specific should not be ap- proved by medical men, aad like all patent drugs it sbould suffer the imputation the public F give to sucu pr-parations. I myself, who was al- t a patented specific, took this medi- cine with reluctance, and without confidence in it, ‘snd it was only through your disinterested, friendly recommendations, and my critizal situation that in- duced me to try this really beneficial Vegetable Tincture. You may inform Messrs. Mortimer & Mowbray that they are at liberty to make use of my name in ths suppert of the good effects of Dr. Hampton’s ‘Ve getable Tincture, as it has cured mein five weeks climates, and of seven years’ ical I have only used three bottles, and find the deformed parts of my hands are fast ‘o their former natural appearance i have been under tne treatment of several phy- Siclans in London and Paris, without any apparent benefit ; also, while in New York, having tried the Thompsonisn and Uomepathic remedies, after hay- ing been tormented with galvanic ba'teries, cold gni aromatic baths, and huadreds of internal and eternal medicines, all to no effect, [ am, so tar, cured by this Hampton’s Vege able Tincture only.

Ellsworth, in the State of Maine, is a delightful <locality,” to be sure. It has a newspaper called the Herald,which openly justifies the inhuman conduct of the mob in tarring and feathering Rev. Mr. Bapst ; but its citizens have recent- ly held a public meeting, at which reso- lutions were passed, of the most base and infamous character. The name of the persons concerned in the meeting are, John L. Moore, Seth Padleford, Parker W. Perry, W. E. Packard, Samuel Beck- with, Jesse Dalton, G. W. Maddox, Mr. Chaney, Mr. Shaw, Mr. Trueworthy, and a Mr. Hamilton, from New Hampshire. — is the editor of the Herald, afore- said. : It has already been mentioned that the Grand Jury have refused to indict the ruffians who tarred and feathered Mr. Bapst. The Bangor Journal has the following : “The Attorney General, Mr. Evans, states that the evidence against the per- sons charged with the crime, clearly identifying them, was stronger than he ever presented to a similar body. There were sixteen on the jury. In cach of the twelve or fifteen cases presented, the vote was seven fora bill and nine against. The nine are understood to be members of a secret organization. Our worst fears are realized. On Wednesday evening at a meeting of the ruffians and their friends (among whom are some cf the: principal men Of the place) it was agreed to back up any who might be arrested, and to demolish the jail if they should be com- mitted. The law cannot be enforeed in Ellsworth.” The Journal also gives the following ae of Ellsworth and some of its peo- le: Ellsworth hns been earning its pres- ent infamous character for a period of nearly twenty years. Some evil genius seems to have been the patron of the place, which in its growth and maturit; realizes all that the most malign spirit could wieh for it. The catalogue of the wanton, vulgar, and dastardly outrages committed in Ellsworth during the past ten or fifteen years, would be too painful to recapitulate. The better class of public exhibitions have been repeatedly assailed, however well conducted and respectable. Tem- perance, musical and lyceum assemblies have been disturbed and interrupted. Panoramas, theatrical shows, &c., have ever been at the merey of the mob. Wharves, dams, and booms have been cut away—vessels, stores, houses, and shops have been broken into and prop- erty destroyed. Bedaubing and defacing buildings, signs, fences, or tearing them down, have been of very common occur- rence. Furious driving, indecent beha- vior and shocking profanity, disgrace the public streets. Wanton cruelties have been practised upon animals, which have been made horrible spectacles of for the amusement of the vile rabble. Among the earlier demonstrations of the low and contemptible instincts of the people, was that upon the ‘ Wandering Piper,” & most harmless and inoffensive itinerant player, who in ing through this State had the ill ectetas of the = who went down to Jericho, to fall upon Ellsworth. The public house at which he stopped was mobbed, and he was threatened. The poor piper, affrighted, leaped from the window and ran off into the woods, where he remained all night. suffering much from exposure. Later, the dwelling of a most respecta- ble magistrate was assailed with stones, brick-bats, &., and one of the inmates of the house, a lady, narrowly escaped a fatal blow from one of the missiles. His offence was that he had acted in his otti- cial capacity in a criminal matter. At another time the miscreants of Ells- worth broke into the office of a lawyer, a lame and suffering citizen, took’ his valuable library out into the fields, and tore the volumes in pieces; the offence was that he was not liked by the vile crew. THE POW:£R OF THE PENCE. 4 TRUE MANCHESTER STORY. The Rev. J. B. Owen, M. A., of Bil- ston, in the course ofa lecture delivered in the Liverpool Concert Hall, in connex- ion with the Church of England institu- tion upon *‘ Popular Insurance” related an anecdote strikingly illustrative of the power which lies in the hand of the work- ing men to promote their own social com- fort and independence if they would only exert it. A Manchester calico-printer wason his wedding-day, persuaded by his wife to allow ber two half-pints of ale aday as her share. He rather winced under the bargain ; for, though @ drinker himself, he would have preferred a perfectly sober wife. They both worked hard, and he, poor man, was seldom out of the public- house as soon as the factory closed. The wife and husband saw little of each other except at breakfast; but, as she kept things tidy about her, and made her stinted and even selfish allowance for housekeeping meet the demands upon her, he never complained. She had her daily pint, and he perhaps had his two or three quarts ; and neither interfered with the other except when at odd times a@e suc- ceeded, by dint of one little gentle arti- fice or another, to win him home an hour or two earlier at night, and now and then to spend an entire evening in his own house, but these were rare occasions. They had been ‘married a year; and, on the morning of their wedding anniver- sary, the husband looked askance at her neat and comely person with some shade bserved of remorse as he o! ‘Mary, we’n had no holiday sin’ we were wed; and, only that I-Eaven’t a penny i’ th’ world, we'd take a jaunt to th’ village to see thee mother.” “ Wouldst like to go, John?” asked she softly, between a smile and a tear, to ne = hear him speak so kindly as in old times. “If thee’d like to go, John, I'll stand treat.” “ Thou stand treat !” said he with half @ sneer; “hast got a fortune wench ?” “Nay,” said she, “‘ but I'n gotten the pint o’ ale.” “Gotten what ?”’ said he: “<The pint o’ ale!” was the reply. John still did not understand her, till the faithful creature reached down a loose stocking from under a loose brick up the chimney, and counting out her daily pint of ale in the shape of three hundred and sixty-five three-pences, (i. e. £2 11s. 3d.,) put it into his hand, exclaiming— ‘* Thee shall have the holiday, John.” John was ashamed, astonished, con- Science-smitten, charmed. He wouldn't touch it. “Hasn’t thee had thy share? Then T’ll ha’ no more,” said he. They kept their wedding day with the old dame, and the wife’s little capital was the nucleus of a series of investments that ultimately swelled into a shop, fac- tory, warehouse, country-seat and car riage, and, for aught Mr. Owen knew, John was mayor of his native borough et last. Don’t se Hasty.—Wur Not¢—l1. Be- cause you will be likely to treat quite lightly two very good friends of yours— Reason and Conseience—who will not have a chance to speak. 2. Because you will have to travel over the same ground in company with one Sober Second Thought, who will be more likely to have with him a whip of scorpions than a bunch of flowers. 3. Because the words or actions in- velved in what you ag deg more lik@y than otherwise to misunderstood, and therefore, at the same time to be se- verely judged. 4, Because this is one way to please and give great advantage to a great ene- my of yours—one powerful enough to be called the “‘ Prince of this world,” and who has caught more people than can be counted in this very trap. 5. Because, in so doing, you are likey to be a fellow traveller in bad company. «He that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.” **Seest thou a man hasty in words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.” ‘ The thoughts of every one that is hasty, tendeth only unto want.” 6. Because such a fire may be kindled that it cannot be put out, even by all the water a whole engine company can throw, with Second Thought for their captain. Aw Expensive Scppem.—The Cincin- nati Commercial tells the following : A few nights before the failure of tuat adroit financier, P. B. Manchester, he gave oue of those splendid suppers which had already won for him an enviable reputation among a few; and an invita- tion to which was considered by many an honor. A gentleman in this city who has in his composition a large quantity of pride, and an excellent opinion of his own popularity, united with a disposition to float serenely in upper teadom, was honored with a card of invitation. Every- thing pertaining to the supper was of a sumptuous and costly character, satis- factorily evidencing the great wealth (?) and importance of the host. During the evening, the gentleman above alluded to was drawn into conversation upon money matters by Mr. Manchester, who finally enquired where he deposited his funds, and at what rate of interest. Upon be- ing informed the Banking House, and the old fashloned sum of 6 per cent. interest, the shrewd Banker remarked, “ Ah, sir, lam paying my depositors from 8 to 10 per cent.,and Iam realizing from the careful investment of their money, from 14 to 1 per cent. a month; thus you see, benefitting both the depositors and my- self. I can pay you 10 per cent. if you wish to deposit with me.” The logic and the supper had their effect. Ina day or two the gentleman deposited with Manchester about $1,200, and in a day or two more, Manchester started ona tour for the benefit of his health and Tepu.ation. A Lavy witn 4 Woopen Lec.—Mlenry, who formerly consulted us about a young lady with a wooden leg, has now brought the matter to a crisis by marryiug her ; and now, after a month's experience—an entire honeymoon—Henry says : — I am happy to say a wooden lee isno bad bar- gain. I married Jessie a month ago— she refused to give up the wooden leg for a cork one, as she said she detested false appearances. She is always at home, ex- cept when she goes out with myself— she never flirts with other men—she dances at a party—she requires only one stock- ing and one boot or shoe, and these serve her a long time as she does not walk much, and yet she is not unpleasant to — with—she —"s hang A little from other young women. only expense of the wooden leg is the levaking of a strap, which is easily repaired, and the supplying a little gutta percha for the ends of it, to prevent noise in walking. Balancing profit against loss, alady with & wooden leg is rather profitable, not to speak of other benefits. I find in Jessie all that enjoyment I would desire. TeLecRaPH TO ENGLaNp.—Mr. Bake- well, of England, has lately made a sci- entific statement on telegraphic commu- cation between England and America. He maintained that such communication between the two countries. with a single line, was feasible, with comparatively small expenses. Instead of the subma- rine wire as at present used, he would have an iron wire double the thickness, and protected by gutta percha. He thought a single line would cost forty pounds per mile, which, at 2,000 miles amounted to £80,000. The cost of lay- ing down he estimated at £20,000, mak- ing the entire cost £100,000. He ex- pressed his confident opinion that the project would very shortly be carried out.
