Prof. J>i: Giiath, Philadelphia.
Sir:—At inteivals, iluring thirty years
past, rny w ile has been snbjecl to rheumatism

cessai y to administer large tloses of the tinc-
t'.ire ol guiacum and morphia, at.d to rock her
like an infant in a large rocking chair, to in
duce any repose. Having fre]uent corres-
respondence with my son, (.No. 103 Chesnut
street, cf your city,) 1 info, mod him of an at
tack she had about the middle of last month,
[January,] which was of such severity as to
completely paralyse the system. He, in his
anxi.ty of his mother's v fliare, eent me a
bottle ol your Llectiic Oil ; but as 1 am one
ol the practitioners of medicine in our place,
and not a proselyte to any kind of patent me
dicine, 1 did hesitate to give it a trial; how
ever,on ri llection, i conclud, d to try it, which
1 did, (I fjiraioiiii, ‘.lirectly ep the It iter, and
after the third or fourth app ication t'e-
came rather passive, and before one-thiid of
th.? bottle was used, not .i single vestige of
the disease remained in :he system, and she
still con.iiiues well, although ^he lode out a
distance of fourteen miles wiihont a renewal
of any of t he symptoms. 1 therefore feel it
my duty, for the sake of suHerirg humanty,
and also fully believing that merit, uniler all
circumstances,should be rewarded, to forv\ ard

STATE OF
IN UTAH.
A letter lias lioon received in Washington
city from "W. W. Drunuiiond, United States
Supreme Judge in Utah Territory, by the
udministratiim. It gives a sad and deplora
ble picture ofatTairs in tlmt Territory. The
following is taken from the letter:
The leading men of the church are more
traitorous than ever. Only a few day.«
since all the paiier.*, records, dockets, and
nine hutulred voluine.s of the laws, were {
taken out of the Supreme Court Clerk’s j
ofHce, and burned. And this is not the |
only instaij'-e of the kind. I .«ay to you |
again and through you to the President, j
it is impossible for us to enforce the laws |
ill this Territory.—Every man here holds
his life at the will of ]>righaiii Young, and
here rre are w ithout protection. I am firm
ly of opinion that Jiabbit was murdered bj’
Mormons under direction of Hrigham Young
and not by Indians.—Murder is a common
thing here; and Mormons cannot be pun
ished with a Mormon jury, witnesses, ofii-
cers, and Governor to jiardon. It is too
cruel and must n it be endured. A man,
not a member of the church, is murdered,
robbed, castrated and imprisoned, sohdy
for questioning the 'authority of the church.
Persons am now in the penitentiary, con
victed before the Probiitv' Judge, who are
wholl}- innocent of any- crime. Is there
any other co tntry Avhere this abuse is or
would be endured ! I.,et all, t’aeu take hold
and crush out one d’ the most treasonable
organizations in America.
The administrati(^ have had the matter
under serious consideration, and will soon
appoint a Governor, who will take a sufii-
cient military force into that Territory to
carry out the laws t ) the fullest extent.
Tiik Di.smal Swamp Caxal, which con
nects the hiirbor of Norfolk with the wateis
of North Carolimi, is the medium of an im
mense amount of business from v. hieli Nor
folk and Portsmouth receive u large portion
of their support. Few, except those en
gaged in it, are aware of its magnitude and
importance. It makesi no noise, iiu .-tiu'.v.
The little vessels arrive and deliver their
cai'goes at the wharves, taking in return
freights, and depart for the waters of our
sister State without attracting the least
notice from the \iublic-at-large.
This Canal was commenced in 1787.
Piitrick Henry was one of the first subscri
bers. It has enjoyed unusual prosperity,
and has paid the Sttite of A'irginia hand
somer dividends than any public improve
ment ill which the State is interested.

ROMANCE IN HEAL LIFE. COFFEE AN ANTIDOTE FOR POISON
Disajijwintinenf in I^ove, and i^uicide. j I’iie New'iork Daily News cantaiiis seme
A young German woman named Carolina ! I'emfirks by Dr Mas Langenschvvarz, which
Juelich, aged 2*2 years, committed suicide j introduced by* him n.-. follows :
in New York ou Friday last, in conse
quence of disappointed love. It aj'pears ,
that she had been deserted some time since i tofiee is one of the most iinpoitant a:i!
by her lover, whose name ^he refused to
divulge. Subsequently she became ac- • ordinary
quainted with a young German named Ed ,
ward Shuster, who proffered his band in 1 persons receiving the right remedies, but
marriage, but the recoliiction of her false
“A very few persons, and I believe but a
small number of medical men. know thnl
drugs. This remark, 'do
fact leads to serious considerations, many
lover was so firmly impressed uiion her
mind that, although she received the atten
tions of Shuster and signified a willingness
to become his bride, still in secret she [lined
at the loss of the absent lover and secretly
contemplated self-d“struclion.
According to this young man’s story,
siiys the llertdd, be has been in the I’liited
Sttites but six months, iuid had sciireely'
know’ll the deceased for three weeks. lUing
a machinist b\' occupation he i>ut an ad-
verti.^emi'iit in one of the morning ’pape-rs
asking for ti situation. The deceased an
swered it and requested him to call upon
her. He did so, when she stated that she
had been deserted by her lover, who was
a machinist also, and that thinking it was
him who inserted the advertisement asking
for a situation she was impelled to answer
it, with the vague hope of being restored to
his arms once more. From that time an
intimacy sprang up between the pair. Shu
ster declares he loved her at first sight, and
ever after, up to the dtiy of her death.
Ali ss Juelich professed to return his love,
and It il her ardent admirer to ho]>e for a
happy union.
The following touching episode, ex[dana-
tory of her conduct, was found in the pock
et of the deceased:
“I am bniken hearted and lonely. I feel
myself forstiken when 1 find I cannot dis
cover one to help me. No .iiie but my .self
can toll my feelings, nor can my jieii de-
.-cribe ni\' heartfelt misi ry. I trust to find

There is only one to whom I might hope
for assistiince, but I fear he i incapable.
The Lord only knows what I have suffered
file last few weeks. The cold world may,
after my death, say bitter things tibout me;
but this I do not mind. I wish all could
ow auit n all my heart; they might then
find cause for my untimely fate. There is
one who once was a true friend: I will not,
however, mention his name. He would be
but little astonished at this rash act. Could
I but see him now', and tell him all, he
might probably save me. I am going on
a long journey, and trust I may reach
Heaven, where all my worldly' troubles will
be at and end. Good bye. Good bye.”
The jury in this case rendered a verdict
(if ‘Death by taking laudiinum on Friday,

the jury sup[iose, of disappointment in
love.”
Dr. Magooii, recently iu a lecture
on ‘’Mind your Business,” tells the follow

A young man went from New York to
the West, where he commenced business
on his ow'ii account, and married. His
friends in the city were interested in his

had located, he was requested to visit the
