GILMAN, special agent, 350 Penn- sylvania avenue, as also by the general agent, cor- ner of L. and 3d streets, Navy Yard. ‘The proofs cf its efficacy are so numerous, so weil authenticated, and of such peculiar charac- ter, that sufferers cannot reasonably hesitate to re- ceive the proffered ald. The Peruvian Syrup does not profess to be a cure-all, but its range is extensive, because many diseases, apparenily unlike, are intimately re- lated, and, proceeding from one cause, may be eu one remedy. The class of diseases for which the Syrup pro vides a cure, is precisely that which has so often baited the highest order of medical skill. The facts are tangibie, the witnesses accessible, and _ safety and efficacy of the Syrup incentrovert- idle. T have analysed the medical preparatioa called the Peruvian Syrup, with reference to the numer and kind of active substances contalsed in it. and the i the compound asa a cal article. The metallic compounds of arsenic, antimony, meroury and zinc are not present, nor Is it possible to detect in it the slightest indica- tion of any metallic and mineral po ao Its or- ganic constituents do not include opium, crany of the drugs yielding poisonous principles. The constitueats, when separated, are not even acrid tothe taste. itis a preparation scizntifically and skilfully compounded, po-ses<ing all the durabli- ity of a spirituovs tincture, without its obj>:tion- able qualities and the acilvity of its leading con- atituent is preserved through the judicious adap- tation of itssolvent.

Upon one evening a party of collegians and young bloods of the town had met together at my rooms to play and carouse. In fact, it was & regular meeting of the hunters, who assem- twice every week. We kept it up jollily uutil midnight, having in that time managed to get fullot Bacchus, when Somers proposed that we should sally forth and astonish tho town by some well-planned and well directed piece of mischicf Without any one of us hav- ing avery clear conception of cur setion or intentions, we hailed the proposition with drunken rapture, and started forth. A travelling menagerie had arrived in town the day before, and among young bear. The poorsnimal had been so well beaten that ho became very humble, and acquired a number cf amusing tricks. Of this we were well awaro, having visited the mo nageric the day before. Just as wo passed the spot where tke animals were confined, it occurred to me what rare sport it would be to capture young Bruin, and place him in the chemical lecture room, to astonish, onthe next day, the professor and the class. No sooner had I made the proposition to this effect than it was adopted, and all volunteered their assistance in carrying it into execution. The tent or pavilion which covered the beast was erected in the yard of tho principal tay ern. The cages, cach containing one or more animals, wero iron grated boxes, standing on wheels, by means of which they had been dragged into town. They were arranged around the interior of the tent, forming a cir- ae array of wood a iron.
