A CURE OP BODY AND MIND.
Philadelphia. Jan. 6th, 1846.
Dr. D.' Jane, -Dear Sir: -Justice
compels nie to make the following state
ment of the extraordinary effects of your
valuable medicine the Alterative.
I certify that my wife was afflicted for
fourteen years, during which time her dis
ease baffled the skill of several eminent
Physicians, and after finding that every
means that were used failed to relieve her,
I concluded to place her in the Pennsylva-j
nia Hospital, hoping that the care and treat-t
ment she would there receive from the j
Physicians in that institution, she might
again be restored to health. But. to mylearned with .deep grief, the great loss
great disappointment, she grew worse, and which this Uoun anu tuc cumiii

On the opening of the Court, the Hon.

At a meeting of the Bar of the Supreme

On motion, Hon. John H. Bryan was

Perrin Bdsree, Sec'y: '
To which Chief Justice Ruflin, on be
half of the Court, replied as follows:
The surviving Members of the Court
receive with-deep sensibility, the Proceed-'
ines of the Bar in commemoration of our ;
late and lamented Brother. They but
express our own emotions upon that mel
ancholy event, and are no more than a just
tribute to the unsullied purity of his per
sonal character, his learning, and long and
useful official labors
He served his country, as a Judge,
through the period of, very nearly, thirty-
two years; and he served acceptably, ably,
and faithfully.
He bad a love of learning, an enquiring
mind, and a memory uncommonly tena
cious; and he acquired and retained a stock
of varied and extensive knowledge, and,
especially, became well versed in the His
tory and Principles of the Law. He was
without arrogance or ostentation', even of
his learning: .had the most unaffected and
charming simplicity and mildness of man-;
ners,and.nq.pther purpose in office, than to
"execute justice and maxntaiu trutuj andj
therefore he was pat tent in hearing argu
ment, laboripus' and Valm in investigation,
candid and instructive in consultation, and
impartial and firm in decision. i
With these properties ; and his long ex
perience, it is no Wonder; tlwt he ; should
have proved so eminent on the Bench, as
to endear himself to his Associates, gain
the high respect'and regatdsof the Profes
sion, and the confidence of the Country,
He did so to such a degree, that few men,
if any, were in life more honored among
usj or in. death, we -think, will be more
deplored. n r:; -n fc?
Fully sharing ini these sentiments and
feelings, the Court readily joins in the ex
pression of them, and yields to the wish
of the Bar that theserproce'edings should
be entered oh the? minutesiand also com
municated to the bereaved children of bur
late venerated Friend and Brother. ;
Mr. Mordecai, on ' behalf of the Bar,
requested that the reiponse of the Chief
Justice to their proceedings, might also be
spread upon the minutes of the Court: and
it is ordered acc()rdinsIy. " '

Chloroform. -This singular substance

(1832;) and its composition was first accu

destined to supersede Hhe letheon in its
power of deadening the .nervous sensibili
ty. . Its effects are so well attested, that
there does not seem to be. a single doubt of
its virtues and use. .Ihas been employed
by dentists in the lineof their profession,
