cuius produces troublesome and dau-
cerous symptoms. Il is known by moth
ers th;U there is great irritation in the
mouth and quirts during this process. The
cums swell, the secretion of saliva is in
creased, the child is seized with frequent
a 'id sudden fits of crying, watchinqs start
ing in the sleep, and sp isms of pecnli.n
juris, the child shrieks u ith extreme vio
lence, aod thrusts its fingers into its mouth.
If these precursory symptoms are not spee
dily alleviated, spasmodic convulsions uni-
ersall V supervene, and soon cause the
(lissululinti of liie iisfant. If mothers who
Jiave their little babes afliicted with these
. distressing symptoms, would apply Dr
William Kvans's Celebrated Soothing
Syrup, which has preserved hundreds of
infants when thought past recovery, from
. being suddenly attacked with that fatal
mahdy, convulions.
This infallible remedy lias preserved
hundreds of Children, when thought past
recovery, from convulsions. As soon as
the Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the child
ill recover. This preparation is so in
nocent, so efficacious, and so pleasant, that
no child will refuse to let its gums be
rubbed with il. When infants are at the
. aire of four months, though there is no ap
pearance of teeth, one bottle of the
Syrup should be used on the gums, to
open the pores. Parents should never be
without the Syrup in the nursery whcie
there are young children; for if a child
wakes in the night with pain in the gums,
the Syrup imtnediniely gives ease by open
ing the pores and healing the gums; there
by preventing Convulsions, Fevers, &:c.
To the Agent of Dr. Kvans' Soothing
Syrup: Dear Sir The great benefit
aiTjrded to my suffering infant by your
o milling Syrup, in 3 case of protracted
a'l painful dentition, must convince every
feeling parent how essential an early ip-
. plication of such an invaluable medicine
is to relieve infant misery and torture. M v
infant, while teething, experienced such
acute sufferings, that il was attacked with
convulsion?, and my wife and family sup
pled that death would soon release the
b'ibe from anguish lill we procured a bot
I of your Syrup; which as soon ns ap
plied to the gums a wonderful change was

HARD TIMES.
.Iuful Times. The Springfield- (Illi

This for a city, only numbering 3,500
inhabitants; we venture to say cannot be

We venture to compare our own city
with Springfield. At the lowest estimate,
there are between two and three hundred
houses building in Mobile; nnd some of
them too ot the most magnificent kind;.

Our City. We counted yesterday
afternoon, twenty steamers moored at our
Levee. The number is unusually large
for the season, arising from the early
commencement of business. The bustle
of ihe wharves is quite considerable. The
accumulation of produce reminds us of the
busiest times of winter. There may be
seen mountains of cotton bales running
generally in ridges one and two tiers deep;
hills of potatoes, barrels, little mounds of
cabbages, cords of lead, and piles of the
miscellaneous productions which descend
every autumn the Father of waters, from
the fertile lands which he drains in the far
North and West. N. O. Bulletin.
Prosperity of the Country. One of
the most violent of the whig papers in the
west, the St. Lcuis Bulletin, comes out at
length in corroboration of the statements
made through the Democratic press, that
business is reviving; we quote the fol
lowing admission from the Bulletin of the
7th instant:
" The Levee Business. we don't
know when we have seen the levee pre
sent a more lively and business like ap
pearance than it has for a few days past.
Numerous arrivals of boats, heavy freight
ed and crowded with passengers, every
day, has given a very animated complex
ion to water street."
The fact of the matter is, ther would
not be so prosperous and happy a country
on the face of Ihe globe as the United
States, if the coalition of malcontents and
incendiaries ranged under the whig ban
ner, would permit the recuperative ener
gies of the nation to come into uninter
rupted operation.

Fanny Ellsler, as we understand the case,
is .1 female dancer, who Ins been lately
imported from Europe, and who by down
right (Ltnvini;; that is, by 'sundry fashion

took the horses from the fair one's car
riage, and actually harnessed themselves
to the vehicle! Now this said Fanny
Ellsler, being, as it seems, rather more
Jhtsh than fails to the common lot of man
in these hard times, has proposed to help
our Hoton friends to complete their Bun

Murmonism The following account
of the rapid strides of Mormonism is taken
from a late number of the Baptist Record.
What is the world coming to?
"The Mormons are going ahead bap
tizing every week; they heal the sick, cast
out devils, &c. ! One of their preachers
cast out a devil a few days past, and two
men have certified they saw the devil
run away: He of course had feet and
hands, head and eves, &.c. ! We have
documents from the Recorder's office in
the county where Mormonism first com
menced which prove the wickedness of
Smith. He likewise can prove that
Mormonism has been four cr five times
publicly discussed and proved to be false,
twice legally investigated and proved to
be a delusion, yet men arc so infatuated as
to be led away by it. Surely we must be
drawing near the last .days." ib.
Missionaries to the United Statesl-
Some months since a Society was form?d
jn the cily of Bremen for the purpose of
educating German Missionaries to be sent
out to our Western States. Two young
men sent by this Society arrived a few
weeks since at New York, and have gone
to Indiana.

jThe New York Sun says that R.
M. Hoe & Co. are making a machine of
the nature of a balloon, for R. 0. David
son, who proposes to navigate the air: It
is to he done in a few days.
The editor of Evening Post has had a
conversation with Mr. R. O. Davidson,
the gentleman who proposes to navigate
the air by means of artificial wings the
machine for which purpose, we stated a
few days ago, Mr. Davidson was at New

Mr. Davidson calls himself a Virginian,
and the Post styles him a member of the
Virginia bar; of course if he succeeds, his
nativity will be some honor to old Vir
ginia. We wish he may.
According to the Post, Mr. Davidson
sets out with the position that nature in
providing for the passage of birds through
the air, lias employed the easiest and most
effectual method, and accordingly his ma
chinery is an imitation of the method of
birds in flying. But as it is impossible
that the arms should supply sufficient
strength to support the body in the air for
any length of time, he proposes to call in
the aid of the legs and feet, by which he
supposes that the object may be accom
plished with little more fatigue than is
caused by walking on the earth. He
thinks he will be able to travel at the speed
of 100 miles per hour. He proposes to
lecture the people of New York in order
to disseminate correct information relative
to his plan of carrying out his extraordi
nary purpose. His project, he says, only
requires a fair and impartial hearing to
establish it in the confidence of all the lov

TERRIBLE EARTHQUAKE.
Mount Ararat. It is stated that infor
mation had been received at St. Peters
burgh from Te fflis, that at the end of June
the whole of the upper part of the celebra
ted Mount Ararat in Armenia, had sunk
down. For some days before the phe
nomenon a hollow noise was heard in the
interior of the mountain, perceivable in all
the neighborhood of the settlement on the
extensive periphery of the mountains. A
large village and an Armenian monastery
were buried with their inhabitants.
The letter from Tefllis says: "You
have, doubtless, heard of the terrible earth
quake of Mount Ararat, which has totally
destroyed the town of Makitchevan, dam
aged all the buildings at Erivan, and de
vastated the two districts of Sharour and
Sourmate, in Armenia. All the villages
in thoit districts have been destroyed.
The earth is rent in such a manner that all
the cotton and rice plantations hate per
ished for want of water. But the most
awful event has taken place in the neigh
borhood of Mount Ararat. A consider
able mass was loosened from the rhountain,
and destroyed every thing in its way for
the distance of seven wersts (nearly five
English miles.) Among others, the great
village of Akhouli has had the fate of Her
culaneumand Pompeii. About 1000 in
habitants were buried under Ihe heaps of
rocks. A thick fluid, which afterwards
became a river, run from the interior of
the mountain which was opened, and fol
lowing the same direction, swept over the
ruins and carried with it corpses of the
unfortunate inhabitants of Akhouli, the
dead animals, &c. The shock continued
to be felt every day in the above mention
ed districta, and entirely laid them waste;
then the shocks became less frequent.
Ararat is not yet quiet; the day before
yesterday I was awakened by two violent
subterranean commotions.

Gale on Lake Huron and Providen
tial Escape of 50 persons. By passen
gers who came in the Great Western last
night, we learn that a hcary gale has been
raging on Lake Huron for leveral days,
'doing much damage to vessels and endan
gering the lives of many persons. A
mong the vessels mentioned as having
suffered, is the new and elegant steamboat
Missouri, Captain Wilkins. This vessel
left our port for the upper lakes on the
20th instant, with one hundred and fifty
tons of merchandise and one hundred and
50 passengers, 40 of whom were females.
On Friday last the Missour encountered
the gale when she was some thirty miles
from shore. Soon after the blow com
menced, the brick work and connecting
pipe of the boilers became loose, which
compelled the engineer to quench the firo
in order that the disaster might be reme
died. Before this was accomplished,
however, the force of the waves carried
away the rudder post, thus rendering the
vessel entirely unmanageable.
In this situation she lay rolling at the
mercy of the elements, all of thirty-sir
hours, and so imminent was the danger
that all on board, save the captain and a
few others, yelded to their fe rs, and in a
circle of small compass assembled together
in the cabin, and prepared by prayer for
the fate that threatened them.
Ail the goods upon the deck were thrown
overboard, embracing some ten tons of
crockery, hardware, &.c. In the hurry
was also thrown over a gmall part of the
Dag.63ge. belonging to the passengers.
This relieved the boat considerably, and
by continued exertions, Captain W. suc
ceeded in getting the vessel under com
mand again and finally returning to Detroit
in safety, to the infinite delight and thank
fulness of all on board. Buffalo Com.
To Silk Growers. As so many per
sons are at present devotingneir attention
to the culture of silk, it may be well to
remind them of the circumstance, that the
National Silk Society, at Washington, has
offered numerous premiums, from 55500 to
31,000 cash, for various quantities and
qualities of silk, the total amount of theso
premiums exceeding sixteen thousand dol
lars. We understand that quantities of
silk which have been made, and are made
the present season, so far exceed what
many anticipated, that it astonishes those
not conversant with the subject, and it
seems noiv rendered certain that fho ex
hibition of silks at the Fair at the Ameri
can Institute, the coming autumn, will ho
