Smith bas for many years devoted his whole aaention to the treatment of Private com plaints, In all their varied and complicated forma. Hls sreat success in those loan atundinir and diffi- eult cases, sach as were formerly considered Incur able, Is sufficient to commend hi in to tbs public as wuriur oi ine extensive patronage ne has received. Within the las,t eight years, Dr. S.has treated more than 29,500 cases of Private Comolaints. in ihrir dili'erent forms and stages; a practice which no doubt exceeds that of all other physicians now ad. .ciuaiug in oaiuiuurc, anu not a single ease is khown where his directions were strict! vfoliowed. and medicines taken at ressonabla time, without effecting a radical and permanent core; therefore, persons afflicted with diseases of the above nature, no mtttrr how dtfBeult or long standing the -ease may be," would do well to cation Dr. Smith, at his office, No. 16, South Frederick St. .and If nouliec tually relieved no reinnneralion will be required for his services. His medicines are free from Mercury and all mineral poisons; put up in a neat and coin- pact lurm, and may be taken in a public or private house, or while travelling, without exposure or bin. drance from business, and except incases of viol ent inflammation, no change of diet is necessary. siKluiunts.-Lir. smith has discovered a new method by which he can cure the worst form of stricture and that without pain or inconvenience to the patient.

This hard jr and brave, jiionccr, and founder of Kentucky, was born in 1748 in Bucks county, Pnnylvania, ntjotit twenty miles Irom Philadelphia. Whilo yet a mere boy, his father emigrated to North Carolina, and setilcd on the lwnks of the South Yadkin river. The wild and daring spirit, the love of adventure and f...i... !. :.l:... ... i, : . t . t icaut.D3 tuiiupiuiiy, which niaracicnzcci bis maturcr life, were displayed very ear- lv. Before ha was twenty, lie married the daughter of Mr. Ryan, a neighboring Bot tler, by whom he had several children. and who cheerfully changed with him a v . s m nis lonely vux repeated removals lrotn civilized into savage life. . On tta 1st of May, 17C9, Boon, with a few neighbors, started for the v o 'tern wilderness, and, at length, "located" on the lianksof the Red River, in Kentucky, then an unbroken wilderness, which had never known' a white man, or resounded the stroke of the ax. We cannot follow our hero through all the vicissitudes of his pioneer life ; it was one of great peri and many hardships. Several . times taken prisoner by tho Indians, he had the tact to conciliate thcrn, and con trive his escape. Enduring much by rea son of hunger and privations, toiling early and late to reduce the savage wastes to a condition of cultivation, lie acquired such a passion (or his wild anJ adven turous life, that when, in 1792, Ken tucky was admitted to the Union, ho struck out still further into the wilder ness, and settled, at length at St. Charles, on the Missouri river, about forty-fivo miles above SL Louis. On being asked why, at his time of life, he relinquished the comforts of a home he had redeemed fioin savage life and rendered comforta ble, for the renewed trail of a wilderness home, his answer was, " Oh, I am too crowded ; 1 must have more elbow room," ' During this interval of time, Colonel Boon had made many lesser changes in his place of residence, and had often been employed by govenment on missions of hostile and friendly intent among the In dians in all of which he exhibited u statemanship and courage which won for him the approval of his employers and the admiration of his savage Iocs, lie resided in his last home alxnit fjf. tocn years, when, losing his wile, who hdd shared with htm all lib perilous life, he went to tiend the lUi.uant t.l l.b days with his pon Major Nathan IJ khc, and where ho died, in 1822, breathing his last in perfect resignation, at i'.; grt ut age of eighty-four years. It would far exceed ourpropo.'..J limits to enter into a minute detail of nil the to mantic and adventurous exploits of this remarkable man ; we content cji selves, with the follwing : While a icsiiler in his father's house, on the Yadji;-.. vcr, being about eighteen years' of- .gVe in company with another youth tf the ueighbrohood, got up n fi,0 hunt," which is conducted as follows : Ono of Ihe party rides through the nrcs,t on horshack, with a lighted torch swing ing above his head, the other remains in covert. Tho torch attracts the attention of the deer, and at a signal from ihe eon. cealed person the torch is held stationa ry, and, while the oagcr eyes of the wondering animal are fixed on the light, a ball is planted between them, and the "poor fool" falls a victim to his curiosity. On this occasion, Boone was in co-ert, and, seeing a pair of reflecting eyes through the dim shade of the tree, levelled his rifle, and gave the precon certed signal. To his astonishment, the animal turned and fled ; and, with out a thought, the brave hunter epning from his hiding-place tftid pursued. Over bill and moor, through biakc and thicket, the raco went forward, our hero gaining on the game until, at length, the afTrightedand pursued object rushed into the house of' his newly settled neighlior Ryan. Flinging himself through the door, we may judge of the confusion of Boone when he saw the object of his pursuit fainting with terror in the old man's arms -for it was his beautiful and only daughter t We need not re late how he wooed and won the fair Re becca, who came ao near being the vie. lim to his bullet. While residing on Kentucky river, a party of three Indians waylaid and took prisoners three young ladies, one of them Boone's daughter. lie was absent from the fort at the time, but, returning wmo hours after, commenced the pursuit a Ion'-, overtook the party the following day, and, slaying two of the Indians return ed to the fort, bringing the fair captives with him.
