Unprincipled SHOPKEEPERS for the sake of gaining a triflemore profit, vend the most spurious COMPOUNDS nder the same names, and under the implied sanc- tion of Royalty they copy the labels, advertisements, and testimonials, (fictitious names and addresses be- Ing substituted for the real) of the original prepara- ons, and use either the word" GENUINE," or a FEIGNED name, in the place of ROWLAND'S." It is therefore highly necessary to see that the word RO\VLAND'S" is on the Wrapper of each Article. All other are FRAUDULENT IMITATIONS, The genuine Articles are sold by the Proprietors as above, and by Chemists and Perfumers. IMPORTANT TO THE AFFLICTED.

PARR'S LIFE PILLS, (the best Medicine in the World) are now established as the only certain cure of disease in the human frame. Sufficient has already been advertised in the public prints to convince any reasonable person that the efficacy of this medicine is unbounded, and that every disease will soon vanish from the effects of this popular remedy. Already the Pro- prietors have received and published 26 different sheets of Testimonials and, besides, have received some thou- sands of letters confirming all the statements published, and proving the immense benefit derived by all classes by taking P AlIt'S LIFE PILLS, Testimonials are re- ceived daily, and it would be impossible in a newspaper to publish one half received; and the following are se- lected as people well known in their respective neigh- bourhoods, and whose testimony is unquestionable. Further sheets of Testimonials may be had gratis of all agents. Front Mr. TV. Alexander, Bookseller, Yarmouth Great Yarmouth, March 27, 1845. Gentlemen,—Being recently at Norwich, I called upon a gentleman at his request. He said, having seen your J name in the newspaper as an agent for the sale of Parr's Pills, and also letters addressed to you testifying their efficacy in the cure of various complaints, I resolved to try them. I had been very unwell for two or three years, my stomach much out of order, and I constantly felt a painful difficulty in breathing I employed two medical gentlemen, and took a great quantity of medicine, but derived no benefit; on the contrary, I found myself daily declining and getting weaker, so that I could scarcely walk from one street to another indeed I was in a me- lancholy desponding state. Accordingly I purchased a box and took them as directed. At the end of a week I was much better, having taken, I think, only eighteen pills; consequently, I continued taking them regularly, and when I had taken two boxes and a half, I became quite well, and to this day I have enjoyed life, having now good health and good spirits. If, however, I feel any slight indisposition, I have recourse to the medicine I have so much reason to prize, which restores me to my usual good health. This gentleman wished his case to be made public, although, for obvious reasons, he could not authorise me to give his name. This timid, perhaps in some cases, prudent cautiousness, is not uncommon. A neighbour- ing gentleman has several times admitted to me that. he derives great benefit from the occasional vise of Parr's medicines, out win not, permit me to mention it to any one. I am, dear Sir, yours respectfully, WILLIAM ALKXASDKR. P.S.—The Pills have entirely removed the Cough and Asthma. You will probably remember the name of the respecta- ble octogenarian gardener, Mr. Cowles, of Blunderstone, who still (with his son-in-law) attends our excellent ve- getable and fruit market. Mr. Cowles, when I last saw him, a few week ago, was in excellent health, and although 88 years of age, works at digging in his garden several hours in the day. He still continues occasionally to take the medicine, which he believes, under Provi- dence, to have been the means of conferring on him so much comfort. Since I wrote the above, I have inquired after Mr. Cand, and learn that he is quite well and hearty. The late severe cold weather affected him much, but having taken your excellent medicine he is quite well, cheerful, and able to resume his work. WILLIAM ALEXANDER. Jfr. Hackett gave the following 1msoliciterl testimonial to the Efficacy of Parr's Life Pills before leaving New York. TO THE PROPRIETORS OF PARR'S LIFE PILLS. Sirs,—Having used Parr's Life Pills on several occa- sions when attacked by violent Bilious complaints, and having been fully satisfied of their efficacy, I beg leave, in justice to you, as proprietors of the medicine, to tes- tify as much.

Railway Station, Hants, Oct. 26th, 1844 SIR,—I cannot help expressing my astonishment at the effect I have experienced in taking your Pills for the Gout. I was taken on Thursday night so severely with it as to be with difficulty able to get out of my bed, and after I arose I had severe pains, followed on with inflammation of the foot increasing, I took three of your Pills, and within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards took two Pills at a dose twice in the day, and I am, thank God, this morning able to walk without the slightest inconvenience. I found in a pre- vious very severe attack very great relief; I had the pains in my knees and thighs so very severe at that time I thought I must have died, and that it must have gone into my stomach. At that time I had resort to you, Pills, and they relieved me—within two hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, to be known all over the world. I have a brother, a young man that suffers horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has been your Pills. Make what use you please of my report. please of my report. Yours truly and respectfully, WM. COURTNEY.

To PROFESSOR IIOLLOWAY. Sir.—I beg to inform you that the inhabitants of this Island. especially those who cannot afford to employ medical gentlemen, are very anxious of having your astonishing Medicines within their reach, from the im- mense benefits some of them have derived from their use as they have been found here, in several eases, to cure Sores and Ulcers of the most malignant and des- perate kind. One gentleman in this Island, who had, I believe, about fifty running ulcers about his legs, arms, and body, who had tried all other Mpdieines before the arriva) of yours, but all of which did him no good; but yours cured him in about six weeks, and he is now, by their means alone, quite restored to health and vigour. (Sisrned) JOHN MARTIN, PILES, FISTULAS, AND BEARINGS-DOWN, A remarkable Cure by these Pills and Ointment.—A half-pay lieutenant, lately residing at St. Hcliers, Jersey, whose name by request is omitted, had for three years suffered from piles and fistula, besides a general bearinsr down, of the most distressing nature. He had twice undergone an operation, but to no purpose, and at last gave himself up to despair. Yet, notwithstanding this complication of complaints, together with a debilitated constitution, he was completely cured of all his infirm- ities and restored to the full enjoyment of health by these justly renowned medicines, when every other means had failed.

Cancered Bi-e-,tst.- A Wonderful Circumstance. Copy of a Letter from Richard Bull, Bootmaker, Tatton, near Southampton. February 9th, 1S4-5. To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY. "RIR,-The Lord has permitted to be wrought a wonderful cure of Cancers or Abscesses, of twelve years' standing, in my wife's breast. In the latter part of the time, eleven wounds were open at once. The Faculty declared the case as past cure, several pieces of bone had come away, and I expected that my poor wife would soon have been taken from me. It was then that a friend recommended the use of your Pills and Ointment, which, to our utter astonishment, in the space of about three months, healed up the breast as soundly as ever it was in her life. I shall ever remain "Your most grateful and obedient servant, (Signed) RICHARD BULL." Wheezing on the Chest and Shortness of Breath. Copy of a Letter from Mr. Jeremiah Casey, No. 1, COllipton-place, Compton-slreet, Brunswick-square, London, April 25th, 1845. To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY. SIR,—I beer to inform you that I believe I had been, for more than three years, one of the greatcst sufferers in the world with Chronic Asthma. For weeks together my breath was frequently so short that I was afraid every moment of being choked with phlegm. I never went into abed; very often, indeed, I have been obliged to pass the night without being able to recline sufficiently to lay mv head on a table, lest I should be suffocated. No one thought I should live over the winter, nor did I expect it myself; but I am happy to say that I am now able to work from morning to night, and that I sleep as well as ever I did in my life: and this miracle (I may say) was effected by rubbing your invaluable Ointment twice a day into my chest, and taking ten of your Pills at bed-time, and ten again in the morning, for about three months. (Signed) JEREMIAH CASEY.

I ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.I
I ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. I DEATH FROM A GL;N.It Stafford, on Monday, William Henry Parker, a mild-looking boy, only 13 years of age, was charged with the manslaughter of Sarah Withers. This was one of those unfortunate cases in which the verj; reprehensible, indeed criminal, practice of leaving loaded tire-arms about a house, "as the cause of one life being lost, and of another being possibly during its continuance embittered. The uncle of the prisoner had, it appeared, been out pigeon shoot- ing, and had loaded his gun with shot; but when he returned home he did not fire it, nor did he then take the proper precaution of drawing the charge, but he placed it, loaded as it was, in the corner of his parlour. This room was not commonly used by the family, but it was always accessible in fact there was not any lock on the door. The prisoner the following morning, the 28th of June, on returning from his work, happened to go into the parlour, and taking the gun went into the court or yard facing his uncle's house, where the de- ceased, who was a playfellow of his, was. The prisoner, it appeared, had repeatedly amused himself by firing percussion caps at candles to blow them out, and also was in the habit of causing them to exffttide by placing them on the stones and striking them. Going into the yard with the gun, he cried out, Sally, I'll shoot you "Do it if you dare," replied the girl. He immediately put on a cap, levelled the gun, fired, and inflicted mor- tal wounds on the unhappy child. The injuries were numerous and more than one of them would have pro- duced alone a fatal result. The prisoner, seeing the dreadful issue of what he doubtless intended as a piece of play only, said, "I did not think of doing it," and was much affected. The learned judge, while summing up the evidence to the jury, said that there could not be a doubt that the most guilty party was the prisoner's uncle, who had so incautiously left a loaded gun in his parlour. The prisoner often fired off caps, and from seeing that there was not any cap on the gun had doubt- less concluded that it was not loaded. His lordship observed that he considered it very wrong and foolish to allow boys to get in the habit of blowing out candles by firing percussion caps at them. The jury deliberated a very short time, and then acquitted the prisoner. Mr. Justice Patteson addressed the prisoner and warned him to be very cautious for the future, and never, on any consideration, to point fire-arms, loaded or not, in joke at any one and after admonishing him in a very feeling manner, the learned judge ordered the prisoner to be discharged. JUVENILK BRUTALITY.—STAFFORD, WEDNESDAY.— Patrick Conniffe, aged 16, and Jas. Murray, aged 12, were indicted for wounding Ann Dickenson, at Tet ten- hall, on 13th of April, with intent to kill and murder her, or to maim, disfigure, or do her some grievous bodily harm and also in another count with stealing a gown and other articles, the property of Thomas Wood- ward. Mr. Corbett prosecuted, and Mr. Yardley de- fended the precocious ruffians in this extraordinary case, of which the following is a condensation of the facts. On the day in question Ann Dickenson, a young woman, servant to Mr. Woodward, was up stairs cleaning, when she heard the dog bark about 12 o'clock, and oil going down she saw the two prisoners in the back kitchen. Conniffe had a bundle in his hand and a hammer which had been previously hanging up in the back kitchen. He said Do you want to buy anything?" and before she could make a reply he struck her twice on the head with the hammer. He then said Let's tie her legs and she wont get away;" upon which the prisoners took her apron from her, tied her legs together with it, and left her lying on the floor. Some time after a neighbour went to the house to take home a newspaper, and no one coming to the door on her repeated knocking, she went into the house, and found the poor girl lying on the floor in a pool of blood, which was flowing from a wound in her head. She was in a state of insensibility. The neighbours were alarmed she was taken up stairs to bed, and a surgeon sent for. The prisoners who had been in the neighbourhood during the day, offering smuggled goods for sale, were apprehended the same afternoon, taken to Mr. Woodward's, and identified by the victim of their brutality. When Conniffe was taken, he said, Is any one killed r" The policeman replied, A person has been almost killed." The prisoner said, Then I suppose you take me up for that, but I don't know anything about it." The surgeon deposed that the wounds were extremely dangerous. He attended her for a fortnight. The prisoners had tumbled a chest of drawers about up stairs, and several things were taken away. Mr. Yardley addressed the jury in a very i able speech, and the prisoners, strange to say, received good characters for humanity, and Mr. Chidley, head turnkey, said that during the nineteen years he had been in the gaol, he had never known more exemplary characters. Mr. Justice Patteson, in the course of a most minute summing up, observed that a worse act of wanton brutality he had never met with in a court of justice.—The jury returned a verdict of not guilty, as regarded Murray, and found the other prisoner guilty of an assault only, acquitting him of the whole felony. Conniffe said, I am innocent of all of it. I was never there at all.Tlie Judge: "How can you have the audacity to stand there and say such a falsehood? The jury have taken a too lenient view of your case, and I will not abate one moment of the full punishment I am empowered to inflict. The prisoner was sentenced to two years' hard labour, and Murray was given up to his distressed mother, with a feeling admonition from ( the judge. The case. excited extreme interest, and the i' court was crowded. STAFFORD, THURSDAY, JULY 24.—(BEFORE LORD DF.NMAN.)—Thomas Ward, 22, Samuel Piant, 22, and Josepii Dawson, 23, were indicted -the -first with stealing from the person of one John Thorley, on the 14th of June, 1845 a £5 note and 19 sovereigns, at Colton, in this county; and the two latter with having received the same knowing it to have been stolen. The prosecutor is a butcher residing at Draycot-in-the Clays, in this county, and on the 10th of June last he journeyed in pursuit of his calling to Shrews- bury fair. On the road he called at the Royal Oak, J and borrowed from the landlord his horse; the host objected to lend his nag without a deposit, and the pro- secutor produced and handed to the landlord's daughter a £ 5 note of the Stafford old bank; it had been cut in halves and was pieced by a bit of paper pasted upon the back of it. He then pursued his journey on horseback. On the 12th of June he returned to the public-house, slept there all night, and received the following day (the 13th) his F.5 note again, and put it into his purse, in which were 19 sovereigns, placed them altogether in his left hand breeches pocket, and started for h,,nie. On the road, however, he stopped at several places to drink a cup or two with persons of his own craft; the last place he stopped at being the Bell, at Colton, where he stated he had a glass of ale, but he did not get off his horse thence by a bye-road, he proceeded in the direc- tion of his home, but stated he suddenly felt very tired, lay down on the road, and fell asleep- He was aroused by finding somebody tumbling about him; opened his eyes and saw a man close to him, who, how- ever ran away prosecutor followed for a fe,ç yards and then gave up the chase, and felt for his money, but it was gone he then gave the alarm to a man of the name of Tomlinson, who resided near the spot. The time when he was aroused was half past 1 o'clock in th? morning. The prosecutor's statement as to the noe was fully corroborated by Miss Butler. The two pri- soners Ward and riant were proved to uave been drinking, on the morning of the 14th, at a beer-shop in Uttoxc-ter, anft Ward produced a £5 note of the Stafford old bank from his waistcoat pocket, upon the back of which a piece of paper was pasted the note was afterwards paid away, traced again to the bank, and identified as the note deposited by the prosecutor on the 10th of June, with Mr. Butler. The rest of the on the l,)th of June, evidence consisted in proof of all three prisoners being found spending a number of sovereigns together, which, with the amount found upon them made up the sum lost by the prosecutor. The prosecutor, after the occur- rence, was taken to Stafford Gaol and was there shown several men together, and he immediately picked out the prisoner Ward as the man who ran away from him when he was robbed. Mr. Meteyard addressed the jury for the defence, contending that the identity was not so satisfactorily made out as to justify a conviction. Lord Denman summed up with great care when the Jury found all the prisoners Guilty. Ward was then sentenced to be transported for Ii) years, Dawson for 14, and Plant for 12. Plant impudently said, Thank you, my Lord." SEDUCTION.—At Chelmsford, on Thursday, an action was brought against Mr. Carter, the son of a wealthy farmer at the village of Fox Earth, for the seduction of Emma Ewer, the daughter of another farmer. The defendant is a young man, and the female was only eighteen when betrayed by a promise of marriage. A verdict was returned for the plaintiff, with 9500 damages At the same assizes Alfred Coote, carpenter, and Isaiah Fish, IS, bricklayer, were found guilty of wilfully setting fire to three barns, two granaries, and other buildings, at Braintree, the property of the Earl of Essex, in the occupation of Richard Baynes and also with setting fire to two sacks of wheat, the property of Richard Baynes. The prisoners were sentenced to be transported for fifteen years. It was stated that they had confessed to having committed ten distinct fires, there being an entire absence, in every case, of any feeling of malice towards the owners of the property the prisoners being actuated merely by a desire for mischief. I)OIISET.-fleiiry War, late postmaster of Bridport, was found guilty, on Friday last, of forging an accep- tance to a hill of exchange for JE30, and sentenced to ten years' transportation. At the same assizes JohnMeech, a most miserable and deformed old man, aged 84, was indicted for a rape, and convicted of an attempt at committing the crime. He was, in every respect, a most wretched-looking object, and scarcely able to walk. He was sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for twelve months. At Stafford, on Wednesday, a ruffian named Isaq, Henshaic, aged 21, was found guilty of a felonious assault upon the person of an interesting little girl, named Sarah Sadler, only nine years of age. He had met the prosecutrix in the fiflds with two other little- children, and giving her two companions a halfpenn each to keep them out of the way, he offered the pro- secutrix three halfpence to help him to look for a dc„; which he said he had lost. Taking her to a retire: spot, he there threw her down, made her mouth blecii by putting his hand upon it to prevent her crying out, and then abused her person. He was very proper); sentenced to transportation for life. At Lincoln Assizes on Monday, Richard Brookfisi was convicted of stealing, at Swinhop, three geese, th" property of Henry Green.—Mr. Justice Maule was pr< ceeding to pass a mild sentence, when the prisoner, addressing his lordship, said it was of no use, he shot: do so again..—3Jr. Justice Maule: "What is that you say ?"—Prisoner; I shall do it again; I'll not war. while there's plenty in the country, so you can do ju,: as you please."—Mr. Justice Maule: "Then the sen tence of the court is that you be transported for sever, years. Perhaps that will satisfy you." —The prisoner left the dock laughing. At Dorchester assizes Henry Warland was indicted for a rape on Susanna Butler. The prosecutrix, who is u delicate and very good-looking girl of 16, was the ser- vant of the prisoner, who was a plumber and glazier. living at Wimborne Minster; upon the 17th of June last the prisoner and the prosecutrix were coming home frorrí- the house of the prisoner's mother-in-law, where the prisoner's wife was remaining at the time; when the prisoner and prosecutrix re-entered prisoner's house he bolted the door, after which he kissed the young woman, who told him that he was very rude the prisoner then went into the garden, upon returning from which he locked the door the prosecutrix had lighted a candlu for her own use, but the prisoner blew it out, saying that one candle would do for both parties, as she must sleep with him; she refused to comply, upon which he seized hold of her hands, and took her up stairs to his room, where he desired her to take off her clothes; the girl, who had recently been ill of the small-pox, and was ex- ceedingly weak, then fainted away, and upon coming to herself, found that she was in bed with the prisoner, )ose she was afraid t? who had accomplished his purpose; she was afraid to cry out, lest the prisoner should repeat his violence, or otherwise ill-treat her he then directed her to go down stairs and bring some beer for him, and she did so she said that she was so much agitated that she did not know what she was doing; after some time she took her clothes and went into her own room early the next morning she sent for her sister, who came and took her away. Upon the part of the prisoner witnesses were called for the purpose of shaking her testimony, but the attempt was not successful. The prisoner, who is a married man with two children, was found guilty, and sentenced to be transported for life. BURGLARY.—COURAGE OF AN OLD LADY.—At the Worcester Assizes, John Harris, James Wood, and Joseph Bingham, were charged with burglary, in having broken into the house of an elderly widow lady, residing at Abberley, between eleven and twelve, on the night of the 4th of December last. The prosecutrix, who gave her evidence in an interesting manner, and appeared to be between sixty and seventy years of age, detailed the following facts. The prosecutrix, as was her wont, after bolting and securing the doors and windows, for she lived alone, retired to bed about eight. About eleven she heard some voices or steps, as if men were in the house, and in order to frighten them away, as she said, she cried out John." Whereupon two men came in, one of whom, that she declared was Bingham, said, I am John, and I am come." Nothing daunted, the old lady exclaimed, Well, my dear, what brings you here ?—what are you after Your bodv," replied the robber. And what do you want of that ■" natu- rally enough enquired she, when they informed her that the doctor wanted to see her; and then the fellow asked her if she had any money, to which she replied she had. Apparently she made some demur about showing them the object of their desire, for Wood, whom she also swore to, said, "The big doctor of Wol- verhampton wants you he has offered £ 50 for your body. If you have no money we'll bring a rcpe and hang you. There's a cart outside with three others in it." "I then," said the prosecutrix, "asked for time to pray to Heaven for my soul and for them too." They told her to pray away. It appears that the prosecutrix was not at all frightened, for when his lordship ex- pressed surprise respecting this point, she, in rekuy a touching manner, replied, I was not frightened to die, as God is my protector." The prisoners ultimately ob- tained from her where the money was concealed, and carried off ES in silver, and £ 14 in gold. They had a lighted candle with them at the time. In the morning the prosecutrix discovered that the window had been taken out. and the door opened from the inside. She also found about her premises a small bar of iron and a cap. When she afterwards was confronted with the two prisoners, Wood and Bingham, she positively swore to them, both by their faces and their voices, and in her own words, she "gave God the glory," when they were brought before her. A witness, named Jones, declared that he was invited by the three prisoners to join them in breaking into an old lady's house near the Hundred House three days before they did it; that first he con- sented, and then declined; that they then showed him a candle, a box of matches, a yard of rope, and a razor, This witness was not the best of characters, having been tried and acquitted once, and on a second trial, tran- sported for felony. He did not appear to have any interest whatever in perjuring himself at the present trial, having no enmity against the prisoners. The fact of his being with these men on the night he mentioned was clearly proved also, that as they proposed to him, they met at the Black Star, at Stourport, on Tuesday, the 4th, with nails and a shotel, at six in the evening. On being apprehended, it was without difficulty, or even question, admitted by Harris that the bar of iron was his. Wood, at a public-house said, that he and the other two prisoners had broken into a house, and got plenty of money. Harris, who was a very poor man, offered soon after the robbery, to purchase a ton of iron for f6 10s. and, to crown the whole, on being taken into custody by the pol;ce, both Wood and Bing- ham at once said they had intended giving themselves up, to take their trial at the assizes. The jury without hesitation, returned a verdict of guilty. Lord Denman, in passing sentence, praised the courage shown by the prosecutrix, but could not treat lightly so grave a case, and sentenced each of the prisoners to be transported for ten years.

SINGULAR INSTANCE OF CANINE SAGACITY.—A singular instance uf canine sagaeity and affection was discovered the other night in an unfrequented part of the beautiful Den of Craig-hall. A bitch of a superior description, belonging to Mr. Walker, Cassindiliy, has several times had whelps, which were always drowned. On these occasions she evinced great uneasiness and dis- tress and for the present resolved, if possible, to secure her young and rear them in safety For some time past she had been observed to leave the farm and return at tegular intervals for her food; and so anxious did she appear to keep her retreat secret, that she was often known to go out to a high place near the farm and wait zintil she saw her road clear, when she would run off in some new direction for she was never known to take the same road twice. Once or twice she was noticed about Craig-hall, and after search it was found that she was rearing her young family in a hole in one of the quarries, at a distance of two or three miles from the place where she received her food As a reward for her fidelity and attachment, her young have been taken under charge by Mr. Brown, the keeper of the Den. and food has been supplied to her, so that she continues to nurse the pups in the place where they were whelped. There have been many applications for the pups, which are dogs of a first-rate appearance.—Fife Herald. SINGULAR ESCAPE.—On Sunday morning last. at Lynmouth, Mr. Williams, warehouseman, of Friday street, London, who was here for the benefit of his health, was walking on Countisbury hill, very near the edge of the cliff, when the earth slid away from under him, I.and he fell precipitously to a depth of 100 feet, and fortunately alighted on a point 200 feet above the beach, on which he was unobserved by anybody. He lav for several hours, until the master of a small vessel sailing along shore observed a hat on the beach, and fearing some accident had happened, hoisted a flag. This called out a boat, the crew of which after long search discovered a human being suspended on the cliff, and having returned on shore, ascended the hill, and let down two men with ropes, who tied a rope round Mr. Williams, by which he was with great difficulty raised up, haviiig fain in his most perilous situation for six or seven hours. He was quite exhausted. Being taken to Lynmouth restoratives were applied, and he soon, revived. He was found to have escaped without having broken a bone, but was much wounded and bruised.— Western Luminary. THE FOUR GRAND VIZIERS OF ENGLAND..—THAX^ Ameer wished another day to have the names of four grand viziers, and twelve little viziers of England, and the forty-two elders. I gave his majesty a list of names of the present ministry when the makhram returned in a fury, and said that his majesty had found me out to be a liar, for the four grand viziers, according to Colonel Stoddart's account, were Lactrd Maleburtie, Laard Jaan Rawsall, Laard Maalgrave, Seere Jaa Habehouse. I was brought in to the Kin, and,en had to give a complete idea of the constitution of lin- gland which, though his majesty could not understand it fully, yet I convinced him that my list niigi-,tlbc true also,especially as I was able to tell him the names of the Whig administration.—Dr. Wolff's M-fsion to Itokhara.
