Baltimore, January 10th, 1851. VVm. H. Lippiii', Esq., Dear Sir: I have no hesitation in saying that your Specific is one of the best Medicines ex tant for Dysentery, Diarrhara, $-e. You possibly may re collect my case ; if it has escaped your memory I will give you briefly the facts. I had tried every thing that I had seen used, but with little success. And after using enough to start twenty-five Homeopathic M. D's.,I began to despair, when you kindly offered me your invaluable Medicine, which cured me effectually. Yours truly, S. J. CARROLL.

Richardson and Wregg, and when I consulted the latter as to the propriety of trying it on him so low, he said I might to satisfy myself that lhad left nothing untried, but he did not think that Medicine would be of any use to him. But thank God he was mista ken, as we saw the salutary effects in 24 hours, and in ten days he was able to be out of bed. I remain yours, very truly and gratefully, WM. BAILEY.

Peter Gray. I'll tell you of a nice young man , Whose name was Peter Grar ; The State where Peter Gray was born Was Pennsylvania: This Peter he did fall in love , All with a nice young girl, The name of her 1 m positive Was Lizzyanny Qttirl. W"hen they were going to be wed; Her fathpr he said " No !" And brutally he sent her Off Beyond the O-hi-o'. When Peter heard his love was lost He knew not what td say; He'd half a mind to jump into The Susquehaa-ni-a. v But be went trading to the west; Iu furs ana other skins; . , And there as .caught, ki'led and drosi By tho bloody ln-gi-in3. When Lizzyanny heard tne news She straightway went-ta bed; And never did get up again Until She di-i-ed. Ye fathers all a warning take1; Each lis has a girl, And think upon poor Peter Gray And Lizzyanny Quirt. A Bear Fight. The Portland Argurcontairis the following account of a bear fight, which transpired iri Andovcr, NortU Surplus, Oxford counsy, Maine, on Thursday last : As Erastus Bean, a young man ot twenty years, was haying in the field, accompanied by a boy of 12, named Dunn, he looked up and saw near hiiri a largev black bear of the white faced breed (the most sav age of the black variety.) Having taken his gun with him to shoot partridges, ho caught it up and fired at the brute, but with little effect, as the bear immediately began to clo.se upon him. Bean fell back slowly, loading his guri the mean time; when, just as he had got his charge in, his heel cadgllt rt gainst a twig and he fell backwards, and bruin leaped upon him. His situation now was a frightful one. but his coolness did not forsake him, and he imme diately fired .again, but with no visible effect. The bear at once went to work, seizing his left arm, bit ing through itand laceratingit severely While thus amusing himself, he was tearing with his fi.rc paws the clothes and scratching the fidsli on the young mail's breast. Having dropped his ai m, he opened his huge mouth to make a pounce at his face. Then it was that the young man made the dash that Baved his life. As the bear opened his jaws, Bean thrust his lacerated arm down the brute's throat as far as desperation would enable him. There he had him. The bear could neither retreat nor advance, though the position of the besieged was anything i.- 5iue. able on so warrn a day Thursday last: Bean now called upon the lad to come and takd from his pocket a j'ack-knife and open it. The boy was a fitting companion for this brave young man. He inarched up to the work boldly. But before he could get at the pocket he had to crowd the bear s head over a little to get at it the beast meanwhile not being at all easy with such a huge mouthful in his throat. Having got the knife, Bean with his untrammelled hand cut the hoar's throat frohl ear to ear, killing him etone dead while he lay on his body! He then threw the beast off, notified his friends had his wounds dressed, and is now Comfortable It was judged the bear weighed nearly four hundred pounds ! One of his paws, which our informant saWj weighed two pounds eleven ounces. What a Cockney saw at the Australia Dig gins. I saw things which, as a gentlcltnn of Kng land, living at home at ease I should have deemed myself perhaps electro-biologised to dream oft I saw husbands buttonless, but uncomplaining. I saw bachelors of misogynic aspect seduously rocking the cradle. I saw several members of the Meddler fomily di ligently minding their own business instead of every body's else's. I saw a social bore boring; literally, to some pur-' pose here. I saw lots of London Loungers enjoying the utter reverse of "otiiirn cum dig." I saw that gourmand Guttler pitching Contentedly into a kangaroo chop. I saw that r x-fox, Swellington, dressed in Cordu roys and highlows, and most complacently intent up on washing out his last week's shirt. I saw many an emigrated pauper picking up a de cent living for hiniseif, here, merely with his pick axe. 1 saw many an expatriated Mawworra, who. deem ing gold to be u the root of all evil," certainly pro ved himself the most eealousiu assisting to eradicate it- And finally, I saw on all sides, abundant evidence to show that one of the richest fields for enterprise was now the Gold Field. Origin of the Chudlc Lectures Douglass Jerrold, in the preface to the new edition of the Caudle Lectures, gives the following singular account of their original conception : It Was, says Air. Jerrold, a black, thick, wintry afternoon, when the Writer stopped in front of tho playground of a suburban school. The ground swarmed with boys full of the Saturday's holiday. The earth seemed roofed with the oldest lend -; and the wind came sharp as Shylock's knife, from the Minories. But these happy boys ran and jumped, and hopped and shouted, and unconscious men in miniature! in their own World of frolic, had no thought of the full lengih men they would some day become; drawn out into grave citizenship; formal, respectable, responsible. To them the sky was of any or all colors : and for that keen east wind cutting the shoulder blades of old, old men of forty they in their immortality of boyhood had the redder faces, and the nimbler blood for it. And the writer, looking dreamingjy into that play-ground, still mused on the robust jollity of those little fel lows, to whom the tax gatherer was as yet a rarer animal than a baby hippopotamus. Heroic boyhoodj BO ignorant of the future in the knowing enjoyment of present ! And the writer still dreaming and tntls!ng, and still following no distinct line of thought, "there struck upon him, like notes of gtidden household music, these words Curtain Lectures. One mo ment there was no living object save those racing, shouting boys; and tile next, as though a white dove had alighted on the pen hand of the writer, there was Airs. Caudle. Ladies of the jury, aro there not then, some objects of letters that myste riously assert ftn effect without any discoverable cause? Otherwise, wherefore should the thought of curtain lectures grow from a school ground wherefore, among a crowd of holiday schoolboys should appear Mrs. Caudle 1 For the lectures themselves it is feared they must be given up as a farcical desecration of a solemn time-honored privilege. It may be exercised once in a life-time, and that once having the effect of a hundred repetitions, as Job lectured his wife ; and Job's wife, a certain Mohammedan writer (Jelivrrsi having committed a fault in her love for her hlis band, he swore that on his recovery he would deal her a hundred stripes. Job got well, and bis heart was touched and taught by the tenderness to keep his vow and still to chastise his htlpmate, for he smote her once with a palm branch having a hun drcd leaves. A Sharp Wit. Dr. Solos and R. Armstrong, of Lawrenceport, Indiana, had a rencontre last week about a canoe, when the Doctor cut his antagonist in several places with a k.iife. During their trial a young lad was called as witness, and was asked if he knew what was the obligation of an oatht and tchete he Would go, if he told a lie? He said he supposed, " he would go where ail the lawyers sro' ; Never ridicule sacred things, or what others mky esteem as such, however absurd they tnay npfrcs r tj .1 M .1 5 i V I I Hi : V i v s1
