Since the above was in type, we have re ceived the following intelligence from a sub sequent number of the Democratic Press t "Thr dead.alive.

W ereqaestedi flour suspicions were well founded, that ithe deceased woul'l . favor us with a visit. 1 He has been polite enough not only to wait on us in his own proper person of flesh and blood, btit to assure us, that our article ! concernina: him was founded on misre presentation.;. As to his creditors, he declared he had given up to them every i thing ; and as to the charge of divers r fathers of sundry ladies he had courted being in hot pursuit of him, it could not !. be, as he is already provided with a wile, lie turther protested, that in publishing the account of his own death he was actuated by the most laudable and praiseworthy motives ' It is due to truth, and tb..the individual to eive this authentic information touching this singular case which is indeed the onlv one in which we have, had a visit from any one, who even in a newspaper had hern consigned to - that bourne from whence no traveller hath returned." uyue Hunting, Mr.i uiay, in a very able speech lately delivered, by d rtr V m . - .-mm i him on the "Tariff question, thus al 1 tides to office hunters. !-5- u All the existing employments of society. the learnea professions com -rnerce agriculture, are now overflow ing.

For the information of those unacquainted with the quality of the1 waters, the subscriber has to state, that they consist of two kindsone Strongly impregnated with sulphur the other witn iron, ine nrst operates on some as a mud, on others as an active cathartic ; and the two when combined operate as such powerfully on most persons. No analysis having been made of these waters, the effect produced by a combination of them has not been accounted for but it is certainly a most salutary one producing great discharges of bile and other acrid matter and having at the same time a tendency to stregthen and invigorate the system. . The waters of the Sulphur Spring taken separately are strongly recommended in Li ver and Kidney complaints and in all diseases arising from a disordered stomach. They at once remove indigestion and the causes . by which it is produced restore lost appetite- purify the blood and exhihrate the spirits In cases of debility and weakness and in bow el complaints they have been" found particu larly efficacious having performed cures m those disorders which no other waters can boast. The waters of 'the other Spring (which is ot recent discovery) when unmix ed with the Sulphur . water do not act as a cathartic but very stronely as a tome Af ter drinking the sulphur water ten or twelve days the use of the other in a variety of cases is very propel? having a similar effect to the use of bark after the use of Calomel or Salts. The good effects of all mineral waters being greatly promoted by bathing hot, cold and shower baths ; have been prepared for those who may require the use ot them. The buildings of this Establishment as mentioned in a former advertisement are. all of brick and in an eminent degree unite neatness, convenience and comfort- a parti cular regard to which has been paid tp these apartments intended for the tise of ladies or for families. Such has been the attention eiv. en by the subscriber to those objects that he flatters himself those families who may do him the honor of their company will find themselves as comfortable as if at their own homes.

Having heretofore found thatjsome of the visitors were desirous of placing their chil aren at scnooi wnust at tne springs, the sub scriber has to inform such that he has a pri vate tutor in his family, a respectable young gentleman who was educated at Hamilton College; in the state of New-York, with whom he has made arrangements to receive into his school ithe children of such parents as may be disposed to send tor him.
