June 16, IS 19.' 53S-tf. DR. SHERWOOD'S Vibrating Magnetic Machines. By recent improvements in these Machines, their power is doubled in cases of the same size, and the prices reduced to $12 and $'14 each; the $12 sizes being greatly superior to the $12 sizes of ether machines. They now run with more power and smoothness, and are better adapted for magnetizing patients than any other in use. Each case is accompanied with a Manuel (11th edition, p. 400, 32 mo.) in the English or French language, according to order, which contains clear and minute directions for the proper use of the instrument in the various diseases to which it is applicable, which are found to include many of the most peculiar and obstinate that are known to the medical profession. The Manuel also con tains a synopsis of the different systems of medi cal practice, Allopathic, Homoepathic, and Mag nopathic, with a full glossary. Physicians and others are cautioned against purchasing the imitations of these machines, as they will be found of comparatively little value. No premium has ever been obtained over these magnetic machines at the American or any other Institute, as is represented by the .nanufacturers of interior machines. try- As I have become tbc Agent for the sale of the above Machines from a conviction of their usefulness in tlisi-ase. and uot from any-desire to speculate on them; and am responsible to ti c owner for them, they can only be obtained by the payment of the cash on the delivery of the Machine. I have deposited them with Air Bayne at the Carolinian Office, who will show them, or deliver them on the payment of the cash price, and on no other terms. CHARLES MONT AO UK. April 7, 1S19. Cm. Du. H. II. SHERWOOD'S Compound Chloride of dloltl, FOR SCROFULOUS DISEASES. These remarkable medical remedies of the late eminent and well known Dr. Sherwood of New Yoik, consisting of a preparation of magnetized CHLOUIDE OF GOLD, compounded with vari ous other materials with great care and by a la borious process, and of a BITUMINOUS PLAS TER, have beeii tested by an extensive practice of twenty-five years' continuance, and may now justly be considered as more successful than any other known remedy in the treatment of CON SUMPTION in all its early stages, and of all Tuberculous or Scrofulous Diseases. For this class of complaints they are now extensively adopted by physicians in their own practice in various parts of the country. They are prepared by us under the direction of the Executrix of the estate of the late Dr. Sherwood, to whom, by his will, his medical recipes are intrusted it, the same manner in all respects as heretofore, and are always accompanied by Dr. Sherwood's val uable medical treatise upon the treatment of Chronic Diseases, a work which was the result of many years of labor and research, and which shows in the clearest manner the principles up on which the operation of his remedies is found ed and their mode of cure. This work will en able any person to detect the nature and extent of scrofulous or tuberculous disease in himself or others, by pressure on the ganglions of the spinal nerves, on the spaces between the vertebrae along each side of the spine.

The first no minee of the Philadelphia Slaughter House Convention for Vice President that is to say, the old battle charger that kicked up such a dust in Mexico has arrived at Washington, after a long and fatiguing journey. President Taylor, on Fruiav! went to Laurel Hill to meet him, and he was escorted with due honors to Wash ington. Hethat is, the horse looks pretty well, niaugre the fact that his tail has grown small by degress and beauti fully less," on account of the number of hairs plucked therefrom by the hands of some of the fair sex on the route to be carefully preserved, as precious menentoes, we presume, in lockets, breastpins, &c. It is understood that on the arrival o! Old Whitey in Washington, the horses in the neigh-borhoed tieighed an exultant strain, held a meeting, resolving, as Mrs Parthing ton says, to place the remarkable beast on a stable footing" in the Administration, as a member of the Cabinet. It is said that Old Whitey will " stand up to the rack, fodder or no (odder,'' but will not vote neigh on any of the appointments. If tin be so, we have no doubt many a for tunate expectant will say, in gratitude, "Give us your paw, old Hoss !" Balti more Jirgus. Tiik Lovers' Rock. As you pass over a branch of the mountain Orospcda, iu your way to Seville, you see the rock which two unfortunate lovers have rendered so famous that it is called La Pena de los Enanora dos. The place took its name from the following event. The king of Grenada, in his wars with the Christians, took one of the Cavalliers prisoner, who for bt-auty, elegance, polite ness and address, was so distinguished that the king had no sooner seen h fin than he became his friend, gave hinv his liberty, loaded him with favors and lodged him in his court. It is not to be imagined that he could be long in the court before the king's daughter was informed of it, and from curiosity became anxious to see him. She was little if anything inferior to him in beauty, and as it was impossible for such perfection not to attract each other and unite, this lovely pair soon pecame enamor ed, pledged their faith, and endeavored to escape to some Christian country, where they may enjoy each other's company in full security. In short, they fled from Granada in the night, and though love and fear never wings, yet range and pride un happily out stripped them; for they were almost overtaken by a party of the king's horsemen, and had but one way of esca ping from imprisonment and the most frightful torture. They climbed up an exceedingly steep rock by the road side, where tenderly embracing, they threw tlin iti calvnc- t (kit -.... 1 1 1 - - parti (llllPl'i nrinc ami .... ... i. .. I . . e J iiom which exiraorumary circumstances this place has obtained the name of La Puna de los Enamorados, or the Lover's Rock. There is a cro?s erected to mark the spot from which they fell. THE TRUE - LADY. ' The facetious Dow, Jr., occasionally throws off some happy hits at the alt'ecta tions of high life. The following remarks, although they may have but little poet in them, contain "some wholesome -truths, which would be particularly s. asonabie young men in search of companions. lie remarks : O, you foolish idolators at tl e shrine of beauty! Kno'.v you that hundred of hus bands are made miserable by handsome' wives, and that thousands are happy in the possession of homely ones? homely with out, beautiful within. Alas! what is beau ty I It is a flower that wilts and w ithers almost as &oon as plucked a transient rainbow a fleeting meteor a deceitful will of the wisp sufTuinigated moonshine. The kind of wife you want is one of good morals, who knows how to mend your trowsers who can reconcile pealing pota toes with practical or fashionable piety who can waltz with atlish, churn and sing with a tea-kettle who understands brooin ology, and the true science of mopping can knit stockings without knitting her brows, and knit up her husbands ravelled sleeve of care who prefers sewing tears with the needle to sewing tares with her tongue. Such is decidedly a better half. Take her if you can get her, when you can find her let her be up to her elbows in the suds of a wash tub, or picking geese in a cow stable. Attack of a Lion on a Womax.--Aii accident took place at Wombelf's Collec tion, liirmingham, Kngland, lately. A mong the crowds of holiday folks that the fair had attracted was Sarah Gununage, who, with a male friend, were making mer ry, feasting eyes und ears, and not adhear ing very strictly to the rules of temperance. The woman ami her friend paid Wombell's astablishment a visit, and while' there ?he began to stroke the paw of a remarkably line but ill-tempered lioness. In vain did the keepers remonstrate with her that her attentions were not exactly welL received by the animal as she imagined Mie con tinued to pat the paw, of the quiescent ami apparently sleeping animal, when he sud denly seiied her with his claws. A fear ful scream immediately started every one. Some supposing that the lions had broken loose, ruslied to the doors; others shrieked in concei t, and others again stood still in terror. 'I he keepers ran to the spot and found the incautious woman's ana bleed ing profusely under the paw of the enraged lioness. She was speed ly released, but not before the animal had lacerated her arms with its claws. Her arm was amputated, an operation she bore with much fortitude. tehe expresses a resolution to "let slrcninp- lions be." which may be followed with ad- have occasion to The Rkst Joke of the Season. The New York correspondent of the Philadel phia Inquirer, relates an amusing incident which happeiiec near that city recently : One of the crack military companies of Sew York went on an excursion to a neigh boring village, and after partaking of an excellent dinner, the members of the com pany separated, each going his own way for a short distance. One of them, eyeing a beautiful arbor close by, entered it, and rested himself on an inviting bench, which, unfortunately for his white pantaloons, had receivetl a fresh coat of green paint abo ut an hour previously. This, he did not observe so he planted himself on it, and puffed his fragrant segar with great comfort. Suddenly, the reveille was beaten up our hero jumped, his rear having a very verdant appearance. On account of the shortness of the coat-tails of the company, the calamity which had occurred to him was immediately observed, but in a wrm ' light entirely. It was whispered that he was attacked with cholera, and away the company scampered for medical assistance. In ten minutes, no less than five medical men were in attendance, each stocked with camphor, opium, capsicum, and a variety of other drugs, and each of whom insisted upon the patient swallowing his prescrip tion immediately. In was in vain that the poor fellow protested- down the drugs should go and it was some time before he could convince his fellow-soldiers and the doctors that he was as well as any of them. After the truth was elicited, the company iiululged in a hearty laugh, and the victim, who by this time was choleric enough, remained over night, to get his unmentionables washed. Sad Predicament. A young parson lost his way in the forest, and it beiii" ve hemently cold and rainy, he happened upon a poor cottage, and desired a lodging or a hay loft to stay in, and some lire to warm him The man told him that In- and his wife had but one bed, and if he pleased to lay with them he should be w elcome. The parson thanked him and kindly accept ed of it. In the morning the man arose to go to market, and, meeting some of his neighbors he fell a laughing. They asked him what made him so merry about the mouth! 'Why,' says he, I can t think how ashamed the parson will be when he awakes to find himself alone in bed with my wife. Rising inthk World. A certain nun was elected to a corporalship in a militia company. His wife after discoursing with him some time upon the advantage his family would derive, inquired in a doubt ful tone ' Husband will it be proper to let our children play with neighbor's now.'' Here is a match for that. A gentle man received his commission of justice of the Peace, which was much talked of around the table. One of the smaller children asked, Father are we ai: 'Squires?'' No, you little fool, quickly replied the mother, nobody but your father and me.' Groaning and Crying. A French sur geon lately published a long dissertation on tut; ueiiei.ci.ii iiinuencc oi groaning and crying on the nervous system. He con teods that groaning and" crying are two grand operations by which nature allays anguish, and that he has uniformity obser ved that those patients who give way to their natural feelings, more speedily recov er from accidents and operations than those who suppose it is unworthy a man to betray such symptoms of cowardice as cither to groan or to cry. He is always pleased by the crying and violent roaring of a patient during the time he is undergoing a severe surgical operation, because he is satisfied that he will thereby so soothe his nervous system as to prevent fever, and ensure a favorable termination, lie relates j case of a man who by crying and bawling re duced his pulse from one hundred ami twentyjo sixty in the course of two hours. That some patients often have a great sat isfaction in groaning, and that hysterical patients often experience great refief from crying, are facts which no person will deny. As to restless, hypochondriacal subjects, or those who are never happy but when they are under some course of medi cal or dietetic treatment, the French stir, geon ensures them that they cannot do bet ter than groan all night and cry all day. Clekicat Joke At meeting of the church the pastor gave out the hymn com mencing with T love to steal awhile away,' when the chorister commenced sin "-in", but owing to some difficulty in recollect ing the tune, could not proceed farther than I love to steal,' which he did three or four times in succession, when the cler gyman in order to relieve him from that dilemma, waggishly remarked that it was very much to be regretted," and added "let us pray
