white man is by the name of John Prince, said
to have come from Grayson county, Virginia, who
was confined on a charge of counterfeiting mon
ey ; he is about 35 years of ajre, dark complex

negroes says he came from Charleston, S. C. and
that his name is Bill, and is a runaway ; he is a
trim built fellow, of a middle size and age, has
been cropped, or lost a piece of one ear, I think
the right car : The other is cf a yellow com
plexion, heavy built, thick lips, and a small. scar
on his under lip, supposed to be about 35 years
of age, says his name is Owen, and is a runaway
from the state of Georgia. It is thought by
some that Prince will pass for their master, and
perhaps sell them.
Any person that will apprehend them, and
confine them in any jail or bring them so that I

The following account of an extraordinary
Medicine, says the National Intelligencer, ap
pears in such a guis- as to entitle it to the re
spect even of regularly bred practitioners :
FROM THE MTIOV.U, GAZETTE.
Although the science of medicine
has arrived at such perfection as to en
able its professors to decide regarding
the nature of disease, and the most
proper means for its removal, yet there
are some cases, probably depending
on constitutional idiosyncrasy, -which
very frequently resist all the known
remedies. Scrofula and Syphilis are
among these ; they frequently take on
peculiar and horrible forms in their
latter stages, producing pains, ulcers,
and a train of evils, which continue to
increase in despite of all known-remedies.
. The following facts, however, show
that a remedy for those diseases, in
their worst forms, is within the reach.
of our practitioners. At the lecture
delivered on the 14th inst. at the Uni
versity of Professor Gibson, two pa
tients were exhibited who had been
afflicted with ulceration in its most
frightful form for several years : the
throat, lips, and nose, as well as the
bones and soft parts of the face were
partly destroyed in both patients ; and
in one an eve vras entirely lost. The
learned Professor, in the course of his
lecture, stated the case of these pa
tients ; that they had been treated in
the usual way without success ; and
that they were finally restored to per
fect health by the use of a medicine
recently introduced in this citv, known
by the name of Swaim's Panacea.
I deem this communication a just
tribute to the virtues of a medicine
which I think bids fair to be the means
of relieving a great deal of human suf
fering. That remedy which a learned
and respectable Professor has thought
worthy of a particular notice before a
numerous class of students would seem
to have claims to the attention of every
professor of the healing art.

es will settle the question as to the re
ceipt of forged or altered notes from
one Bank to another, where each are
alike ignorant of the fraud :
In 1814, a Bill of Exchange with a
forged acceptance, purporting to be
payable at the house of A. & Co. bank
ers in London, with whom the suppos
ed acceptor keeps cash, is endorsed to
B. for a valuable consideration. B-
endorses it to his agent in London,
who presents it on the 23d of April at
the house of A. Sc Co. for payment.-
A. St Co. pay it, and on the 30th of
April send it to the supposed acceptor,
who disavows it. A. & Co. immedi
ately give notice of the forgery to B.
and demand payment, which B. refus
es. All parties are ignorant of the
fraud. Held that A. S: Co. by paying
the bill without ascertaining that the
acceptance was genuine, were preclud
ed from recovering the amount from
B. in an action for money had and re
ceived. Smith vs. Mercer, 1 Marshal's
