Dr. KENNEDY, of Roxbury, Has discovered in one of our coMMON PASTURE WEEDs a remedy that cures EVERY KIND F HUMOR; FROM THE WORST SCROFULA DOWN TO A CON- MON PIMPLE. E HAS TRIED IT IN OVER ELEVEN hundred cases, and never failed except in two eases, (both thunder humor ) He has now ia bis possession over two hundred certificates of its vir- tue, all within twenty miles of Boston. ‘Two bottles are warranted to curea nursing sore mouth. One to three bottles will cure the worst kind of pimples on the face. ‘Two to three bottles will clear the system of bles. ‘I'wo bottles are warranted to cure the worst canker in the mouth and stomech ‘Three to five bottles are warranted to cure the Worst case of Erysipelas. One to two bottles are warranted to cure all humor inthe eyes. . ‘Two bottles are warranted to cure runaing of the ears and blotches among the hair. Four to six bottles are warranted to cure corrupt and running ulcers One bottie will cure sealy eruption of the skin. ‘Two to three bottles aré warranted to cure the worst case of ringworm, ‘Two to three bottles are warranted to cure the most desperate case of rheumatisin Three to four bottles are warrauted to cure the salt rheum Five to eizht bottles will cure the worst cases of scrofula. A benefit ts boitle, and a above quantity is taken. Reader: I peddled over a thonsand bottles of this in tae vicinity of Boston, I know the effect of itin everycase So sure as water will extin- guish fire so sure wiilthis cure humor. J never sold a bottle of it but that soid another; aftera trial it always speaks for itself. There are two things about this herb that appears to me surpris- ing; first that it grows in our tures, in some places quite plentiful, and yet its value has never been known until I discovered it in 1816—second, twat it should cure all kinds of humor. In order to give some idea of the sudden rise and great popwarity of the discovery, 1 will state that in April, 1853, I peddled it, and'sold about 6 bottles per day —in April, 1854, I so'd over 1,000 bottles per day of it. Some of the wholesale Druggists who have been in business twenty and thirty years, say that no- always experienced fiom the first perfect cure is warranted when the thing in the an: 01 patent medicines was ever like it. ‘There is a universal praise of it from all quarters. In my own practice I always kept it strictly for hum-rs—but since its introduction as a geueral family medicine great and wonderful virtues have test found in it that 1 never suspected Several cases of epileptic fits—a disease which was always considered incurable, have been cured by a few bottles. UO, whata sro fed it will prove effectual in all cases of that awful malady—there are bat few who have seen more of it than. have. I know of several cases of Dropsy, all of them aged people cured by it For the various diseases ofthe Liver, Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Asthma, Fever ard Ague, Pain in the Side, Diseases of the Spine, and particularly in diseases of the Kid- neys, &c., the discovery has done more good than any medicine ever known No change of diet ever necessary—eat the best you can get and enough of ft.

Andrew Lewis, the great hero of West- the on the Capitol square, in Richmond : garratives too much to the trivial details of a housand skirmishes and petty incidents in the East, and have almost totally omitted to re- cord the contests of Western Virginians with the savage at their doors, as well as with the tories and red coats in the Carolinas, which they volunteered to march hundreds of miles to fight and defeat. They would stare a va- cant surprise if asked who was Andrew Lewis— though he won a fame second only to Wash- ington’s in command of the Virginia buck- skins at Braddock’s defeat; though he com- manded in the most desperate of all the ante- Revolutionary Indian battles at Point Pleas- ant; though he was urgently nominated by Washington asa major general to the Con- gress which selected himself as the first com- mander-in-chief of the American armies—a man who, in the rugged character of his mili- tary character, was to the polished Washing- ton in the field what Jefferson was sfterwards to Madison in the cabinet.” There are some additional facta of interest connected with the subject of this just eulo- gium, and with his remarkable family, con- tained in a tradition of the race, which was found among the papers of the late John Howe Peyton, ag of Stauton, and published by his son, John Lewis Peyton, in the Virginia His- torical Register. From this sourcé, and from Howe’s Historical Collection, the Richmond Dispatch makes the following condensation : John Lewis, the first of the family who em- igrated to Virginia, was a citizen of Ireland, descended from a Huguenot family, which took refuge in that kingdom His rank was that of an esquire, and he inherited a hand- some estate, which he increased by industry and frugality. He married Margaret Lynn, daughter of the Laird of Lych Lynn, who was a descendant of the chieftains of a once pow- erful clan in the Scottish Highlands. He had four sons by this marriage, Thomas, Andrew and William, born in Ireland, and Charles the child of the old age, born in Virgi The emigration of John Lewis to Virginia was the result of a brutal and ferocious attack barn, stable, corn house, &c.,a | he corner of 9th street | were the old hero, made upon his legal rights and domicile by an Trish nobleman and a party of armed despe- radoes whom he had employed for that pur- ose Lewis, unarmed and unassisted, killed the nobleman and one of his servants with a | club, when the rest, terrified by the fierce re- sistance, made a poe retreat. This awful occurrence brought the affairs of Lewis in Ireland to a crisis. The connections of the nobleman were rich and | poet and it was deemed by the friends of Lewis rash and un- wiee, that, even with law and justice on his side, he should surrender himself to his ene- mies. He accordingly left Ireland, and in the summer cf 1 established bis residence in Augusta county, Virginia After due in- vestigation of the affair by the authorities in ireland, a pardon was granted to John Lewis, and patents are still extant by which his ma- jetty grauted to him a large portion of West- ern Virginia We could fill this journal with thrilling de- tails of the heroic feats of the Lewis family in repelling the assaults of the Indians, and con- ase them throughout Western Virginia. he names of the tour sons of John Lewis have besome like household words in the an- uals of Indian wari in the West. The feats of Charles, (who afterwards fell at the head of his regiment, leading on the attack at Point Pieasant,) have not been equalled in roman- tic herciem since the days of Captain John Smith. During this savage warfare, on one oceasion, John Lewis, then very old and in- firm, oceupied a fort which was attacked by the Indians. The only occupants of this fort his wife, and two young women. Lewis, however, opened a port-hole, from which he fired at the savages, while his j wife reloaded the guns. In this way be sus- tained a siege of six hours, during which he killed upwards of a score of the Indians, when he wus relieved by the appearance of party An old settler relates an anecdote { illustrating the Indian idea of the prowess of the Lewises: The white clover is of indigenous growth; the red was introduced by Jobn Lewis, and it was generally reported and be- lieved by the Indians that the bivod of the red men slain by the Lewises and their fol- oe had dyed the trefoil to its sanguine ue The women of the family shared the spirit of the men. When, in the war of the revolu- tion, volunteers were called for to prevent Tarleton from passing Rockfish Gap, the wife of William (3d son of John) called her only three sons who were not in the army, whose ages were 17, 15 and 13 years, and said: “Go, my children; I spare not my youngest, my fair-haired boy, the comfort of my declining ears I devote you all to my country. Keep ack the foot of the invader from the soil of Augusta, or see my face no more.’ It was when this incident was related to Washington that he made the famous exclamation: ‘Leave me but a banner to plant upon the mountains of Augusta, and [ will rally around me the men who will lift our bleeding country from the dust and set her free.’” Gen. Andrew Lewis, to whom a siatue is to be erected in the Washington group, was the second son of John and icpau wis. In Braddock’s war he was in a company in which were all his brothers. They were especially distinguished at Braddock’s defeat. They were in the advance and the first attacked by the enemy. Severed from the rest of the army, they cut their way through the enemy to their companies. In the attack upon Fort Duquesne, Andrew Lewis was a major, and his conduct acquired for him the highest rep- utation for courage and prudence. He was the commanding general of the Virginia troops at the great battle of Point Pleasants, fought May 10, 1774, The splendid valor and skill displayed on this memorable cecasion were re- warded by the total defeat of the Indians, were driven west of the Ohio. ‘ Washing- ton,’’ says Howe, “in whose regiment Lewis had once been a major, had formed so high an opinion of bis bravery and military skill, that at the commencement of the revolutionary war, he was induced to recommend him to Congress as one of the major-generals of the American army.”’ It is also said that when Washington was commissioned as commander- in-chief, “he expressed a wish that the ap- intment had been given to General Lewis. | fe commanded the Virginia troops when Lord Danwore was driven trom Gwynn’s Island, in 1776, and announced his orders for attacking the enemy by putting a match to the first gun, an eighteen pounder, himself.’’ ‘*Gen. Lewis, ‘‘ says Stuart, in his Histori- cal Memoirs, “ was pone of six feet bigh, of uncommon strength and agility, and his form of the most exact symmetry. He hada stern and invincible countenance, and was of a reserved and distant deportment, which ren- dered his presence more awful than engaging. He was a commissioner, with Dr. Thomas Wal- ler, to hold a treaty, on behalf of the Colony of Virginia, with the six nations cf Indians, together with the Commissioners from Penn sylvania, New York and other Eastern Proy- inces, held at Fort Stanwix, in the Province of New York, in the year 1768.

ONE OF JOHN PHENIX’s STORIES. Dr. Tushmaker was never regularly bred as he possessed natur genius and a fine ap- hie teeth of service ing the latter propensity, he con- at he could do more good in the world, and create more real oe therein by putting the teeth of the inhabitants in good order, than in any other way; so Tushmaker became a dentist. He was the man that first invented the method of placing small cog- wheels in the back teeth fur the more perfect mastication of food, and he claimed to be the method of filling original discoverer of that cavities with a kind of putty, which becomin, hard directly, causes the tooth to ache so grievously that it has to be pulled, thereby ving the dentist two successive fees for tho same job. Tushmaker was one day seated in his office, in the city of Boston, Massachusett when a stout old fellow named Byles provented himself to have a back tooth drawn. Tho dentist seated his patient in the chair of tor- ture. and opening bis mouth discovered there an enormous tooth, on the right band side, about as large, ashe afterwards expressed it, “‘as a Small Pollyglot Bible.’ I shall have trouble with this tooth; thought Tushmaker, but he clapped on his heaviest forceps, and pulled. Itdidn’tcome. Then he tried the turn-screw, exerting his utmost strength, but the tooth wouldn't stir “Go away from here,’’ said Tushmaker to Byles, “ and return in a week, and I'll draw that tocth for you, or kuow the reason why.”’ Byles got up, clapped a handkerchief to bis jaw, and put forth. Then the dentist went to work, and in three days he invented an instrament which he was confident would pull anything. It was a com- bination of the lever, pulley-wheel, and axle, inclined plane, wedge and sero>w. The cast- ings were made, and the machine put into office, over an iron chain, rendered perfectly Stationary by iron rods going down the foun- dations of the granite buildings. In a week, old Byles returned; he was clamped inte the iron chair, the forceps connected with the ma- chine attached firmly to the tooth, and Tusb- maker stationing himself in the rear, took hold of a lever four feet in length. He turned it slightly. Old Byles gave a groan, and lifted his right leg. Another turn; encther groan, and up went the leg again. ‘“ What do you raise your leg for?’’ asked the doctor. ““I can’t help it,”’ said the patient. “ Weill,’ re- joined Tushmaker, “that tooth is bound to come out now.’’ He turned the lever clean round, with aeudden jerk, and snapped old Byles’ head clean and clear from his shoul ders, leaving a space of four inches between the’severed parts! They had a post mortem examination—the roots of the tooth were found extending down the right side, through the right leg, and turning up in twd rongs under the soul of the right foot! “No wonder,’’ said Tushmaker, “be raised his right leg. The jury thought so too, but they found the roots much decayed, and five surgeons swear- ing that mortification would have ensued in a few months, Tushmaker was cleared on a ver dict of * justifiable homicide.”’—Califernia Proneer petite; and finding Birds and their Migrations. From the highest antiquity of nations we have banded down some accounts of their ob- Servance of the movements of the feathered races. The Romans hed many omens in the flight of birds, which, however giliy, were not more erronevus than the present general ideas that are entertained of thecauses that keep up their yearly migrations In their mythology, ifa flock of th birds crossed their path, they took it as aff assurance of success; but should only one appear, it was counted worse than none, and respected as cause sufficient for the suspension of any leading enterprise throughout the entire nation. But so do not our omens operate in any way like theirs, and yet we tack, asit were, the seasons of our years upon the backs of birds, and say that when they come, comes spring—or when they leave, it is fall. Now, were it actually the case, that birds, in their migrations, sought nothing but acertain degree of confort from a climate, and pursued a regular course from north to souta, and evce wersa, there might be Some soundness iu thiseonclusion. Bat. alas! the proverb, * A single swallow does nut bring the spring,’’ and no more do the flocks of birds, that go and come so often, pursue any given line or pathway through the air. It is tree. that nature bas sllotted to the fewest speci fixed abodes, while she has sent the teeming uillions wandering continually between the tor:id aud frigid goues; but, in her wise economy, she has placed such plenty ia their path, that they have but to eat and emigrate iu following up this loved pursuit, it bas been my wonder, if the fathers of oar coun 3, in giving up the noble Eagle for our cres:, did net intend fore-shadowing the nation’s rest Jessness und moving habits by the bird. But 1 did the subject wrong ; the noble Eagle is no changeling, but, true to his home attachments, be they north or south—for he inbabite the en tire coutinent—he yet remains unscathed by seasons, proud masterof endurance and fideli ty. I know this theory interrupts rps nay J of those minds who sigh for liberty of wing, like birds, that they may fiy and fullow up a spring perpetual; butetill there is more beauty in tue harmony of nature with her birds than any such poetic dreams can shroud them im; and while, had he his own fancy, — would svon satiate and kill the enjoyment of his wish —while there is left what be had forgotteo, the obligation on the bird that gives hia changing zest—for he must emigrate or perish. It 1s to the various storehouses of provisions that birds are moving, as oy, pass before or follow up the snowy north. They can not live where scarce the fruitis ripe before it is buried up, and insect nature benumbed and stiff with cvid, for hidden in its inaccessible retreat — and therefore they move south. But how the picture changes! In spring this land is strew- ed with plenty, and to its fields they once again repair for purpose of incubation, and on the route, both going and returning, the fooks pursue @ course more easterly or westerly as the forests and fields have that year borne the heavier harvest.—Columbus (Ga.)

Just before her debut, the Yan- kee critics very properly remarked, that a must important epoch in her life was approach- ing, and that the question, whether - she were “clever” or not, was to be settled by ‘an audience as intellectual subtle as that which first sat in judgment upon ber.’’ Indesd, the value of the teskwas increased by the fact— recorded in the same papers—that the Ameri- can mind was a tabula rasa in regard to her, and that the intellectual and subtle audience assembled in some doubt as to what they were tosee or hear, one journal having described her as ‘‘a great danseuse,’ and another hay- ing congratulated *‘the lovers of good music” upon her arrival. However, New York bas now found out—and of course talks as glibly of the discovery as if it were of ancient date— that there were some French dramatists called Racine and Corneille, who wrote ‘the most boring plays ever beard in America,”’ and that Rachel really delivers their language brilliantly, and with avery pure French ac- cent.
