Miuiy years of trial, instead of impairing the pub lic coiihjence in this medicine, lim won for it an appreciation and notoriety by far exceeding the most sanguine expectations of ita friends. Nothing but its iutnnßtc virtues and the unmistakable benefit conferred on thousands of sufferers, could originate and maintain the reputation it enjoys. While many inferior remedies thrust upon the community, have tailed and been discarded, this has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits on the afflicted they never can iorget, and produced cures too numerous and too remarkable to be forgotten. While it is a fraud on the public to pretend that any one medicine will infallibly cure—still there is abundant proof that the Cherry Pectoral does not only as a general thing, but almost invariably, cure the maladies for which it is employed. As time makes these facts wider and better known, the medicine has gradually become the best reliance of the afflicted, from the log-cabin of the Anierican peasant, to the palaces of the European Kings. Throughout this entire country, in every State, city, and indeed almost every hamlet it con tains, Cheery Pectoral is known as the best rem edy extant for diseases of the Throat and Lungs, and in miuiy foreign countries, it is coming to beexten rivf ly used by their most intelligent Physicians. In Great f! rite in, France and Germany, where the medical sciences have reached their highest perfec tion, Cherry Pectoral is introduced, and in constant use in the Armies, Hospitals, Alms Houses, Public Institutions, and in domestic practice, as the surest remedy iheir attending Physicians can employ for the more dangerous affections of the lungs. Also in milder cases, and lor childienitis safe, pleasant, and effectual to cure. In fact, some of the most flatter ing testimonials we receive have been from parents who have found it efficacious in cases particularly incidental to childhood. The Chen y Pectoral is manufactured by a prac tical Chemist, and every ounce of it uuder bis own eye, with invariable accuracy and care. It is sealed and protected by law from counterfeits, conse quently can be relied on as genuine without adulter ation. We have endeavored here to famish the commu nity with a medicine of such intrinsic superiority and worth as should commend itself to their confi dence—a reniedy at once safe, speedy and effectual, which this has by repeated and countless trials prov ed itself to be ; and trust by great care in preparing it with chemical accuracy, of uniform strength, to af ford Physicians a new aaent on which they can rely for the best results, ancf the afflicted with a remedy that will ds for them all that medicine can do. Prepared and sold by JAMES C. AYER Practical and Analytical Chemist, Lowell, Mass. Sold by PURCELL, LABB & CO., and PEY TON JOHNSON, Richmond, and by Dijiggists everywhere. fe 12 VT ECHAMCB' I'M ON ASSOCIA iI*.

INTERESTING POLICE DEVELOP MENTS. SKETCH OF TWO NOTED OFFENDERS. A short time since, (says the Baltimore News,) we gave nn account o( the arrest of a noted thief, known as John EI. Stevens or Jock Stevens, oil suspicion of being concerned in uumerous depredations hereabouts, besides be ing a participant in the robbery of the Ports mouth Bank,Ya. Stevens, though quiteayoung man, is old in crime, and next to Jim YWbb t has probably been the most successful thief in the country, within the past two years. He had, as an accomplice, a certain Nathan Rhoads ? alias James Brown, who seems to have been a fit companion of crime. The operations of these fellows have extended over the greater portion of the country, particularly West and South, and by their adroitness, have generally managed to escape detection. As a brief sketch of these men is not without interest, we proceed to give it from the Philadelphia New*: John 11. Stevens and Nathan Rhoads.— The first knowledge we have of Stevens is derived from his conviction, and sentence, in 1843, to Sing Sing Prison, for the period ol four years and nine months, for grand larceny. He was then called James C. '1 homas alias Wal ker. He has connections in thiscity, and is a brother of New Stevens, the Confidence Man, now an inmate of Sing Sing. On the 2d of July. 1850, Jack Stevens and New Goldsmith robUed the office of the Gas Company, Seventh street, above Chesnut, of $369 54 in bank notes, gold aud silver, and checks to the amount of $360. In March. 1851, Stevens, Jim Stanton, and others robbed Henry Richardson's store, Pittsburg. New Goldsmith is now in Cherry Hill Prison, for participating in the disposal of the plunder, and some others have suffered in confinement and in their reputations for being connected with this affair. On the 2d of June, 1850, Jack Stevens and others robbed the store of N. L. Hazen, (since deceased,) at Cincinnati, of be tween 60 and 70 fine gold and silver watches, and a large amount of jewelry. Several stores and a loan office were robbed by this same party in Cincinnati within a brief pe riod. Some of the movements of the watchcs stolen from Hazen's store were found recently at the house of Rhoads, alias Brown; in Ken sington, thus connecting him with the robbery. On the 14th of September, 1851, Stevens, Brown aud others attempted to rob a bank at Cleveland. Ohio, but did not succeed, after several attempts. In the same month, Jack Stevens robbed a silk store in Buffalo, the plunder of which (a considerable amount) was brought to this city and sold. Again, on the 25th of October, Stevens Brown and others robbed Messrs. Reigel &. Brother's store of nearly $2,000 in cash and silk goods. Through the efforts of the Mayor and his officers, the silks have been nearly all recovered. On the 25th of November. 1851, Mr. James W. Wood's store, Eighth and Z.ine streets, was bored into and over $2,000 worth of fine goods stolen; this was the work of Brown and others, Stevens no doubt aiding. A portion of this property was found at Brown's house. A year or two ago, Stevens had gotten into the bank at Pittsburg and had made an aperture tnrough the brick and mor tar,and a smaller one through the 4 iron lining of the vault. Jack's fingers were indu'stri ously at work removing the bank bills through this lesser aperture when he was very unex pectedly surprised. It was Sunday morning, and a new suit of clothes had been sent to the bank, belonging to the cashier, and this gen tleman walked round to the bank to try them on. His sudden entrance bo surprised Jack that he darted off, placing through the win dow in double quick time, and bellowing fire —fiie—fire—as lustly as his lungs would per mit, and in the confusion he got off. Stevens and Brown entered the Norfolk Savings In stitution in the beginning of the present year, and got from five to ten dollars for their pains, the deposits not being kept there. The weed ing of a dry doods store in Ilarrisburg by Brown and Stevens, was effected on one of their journeys West, They got in with false keys, merely to inspect it, and while in, thought they might as well take a few things, inteuding at some future day to "rob that store," \frhen a more convinient season should arrive. On the 19th of January, 1852, the Branch Bank of Virginia, at Portsmouth, was robbed of near $69,000, and on the 24th of January, 1852, George W. Harris's watch and jewelry store at Montgomery, Alabama, was robbed of about 90 gold watches, a large qnantity of jewt lry,&e. At about 2 o'clock on the morn ing of the 9th of February last, Jack Stevens and Brown came into this city. Jack went to his mother's, and Brown to his home in Kensington. Two or three days afterwards, Jack was arrested by officer Gouldley. Brown after he got home, was told by those who knew who and what he was, that the police were after him, and hurried off the same morn ing to Pottsville, completely broken down in health and spirits. Coming from a southern clime, and encountering the bleak mountain air of that region, at that season, Brown was seized with hemorrhage of the lungs; lingered on until Sunday, February 15th, when he was summoned into the presence of his maker, to an« wer the deeds done in the body. Brown brought with him a large portion of the watches and jewellery stolen at Montgome ry, Alabama, which were recovered March 12th by officer Wood. Mayor's police; nearly $4,000 are now in Mayor Gilpin's possession. Officers Mirkel and Gouldey have taken Ste vens to Portsmouth to answer for the bank robbery there, When that is done with, Jack will be called upon to answer for some of his other sios. Thus, through the energy of our worthy Mayor, has been rooted out bj a regu lar series of police operations, one of the most dangerous and successful gangs of burglars who have infested the country. RFIt is proposed to erect thirteen monu ments upon Indipendeuee square, in Philadel hia, commemorative of the Old Thirteen States, and of the Declaration of Independence- The Massachusetts Legislature has decided to send a delegate to the Convention to be held in Phil. adelphia on the 4th July 1852, for the pur pose of taking measures to erect these monu ments.

Distilled a*d Malt Liquors.—The Washington Telegraph has a table showing the production of intoxicating liquors in the United States and Territories. The details are taken from the recent Census Retnrns.— The Telegraph says that the table does not reveal the quantities of wines and liquors con sumed in the United States annually, but sim ple the quantities produced, and the direction given to a capital o(eight end a third million of dollars, and in a direct way to the labor of fiee and a half thousands of men, leaving out of view the capital and labor expended in producing the grain, &c., and in the subse quent treatment, sale, &e., of the productions ofthelaboratory. Thefollowingaretheresulta of the addition in (his table: Bushels of barley annually consumed 3,787,195 Do corn ~ do do 11,06/,761 Do rye do do 2.143 927 Do oats do do 56,517 Do apples do do 526,840 Hhds. of molasses do do 61 675 Tons ot hops do do 1.286 Hands employed 5,487 Capital invested 18,334,254 Barrels of ale produced 1,177,5t24 Gallons of whiskey and high wines 42133,955 Gallons of rum, &c. 0,500,500 Volcanic Eruption at the Sandwich Islands.—On the 7th of August last, light wasobserved on the top of Maunaloa, at first appearing like a lamp, but which continued to increase until it became so large as to be visible from all parts of Hawaii, and even from the elevated parts of Maui and Oahu. It is reported that vessels at sea noticed two points from which the light emanated, and it is quite probable that another erupiion, simi lar to the extensive one of 1843, may follow these preliminary indications. Since writing the above, we have received the following from our correspondent, dated Hilo, 12th August, 1851: "The great crater on Maunaloa, that was generally thought to be quite extinct, is now in action. For a few days a heavy cloud, having the appearance of smoke, has been ob served to hover over the summit of the moun tain. Last night the mountain stood out ia bold relief, unobstructed by clouds or miat, and presented a sublime and awfully grand appearance, belching forth flames and cinders, that again fell in showers at a distance. The heavy bank of smoke that lowered over its top, presented the appearance of the mountain it self poised upon its apex. It is possible that antoher eruption may take place; like that of 1843, and liquid lava be seen flowing down its si des."-— Polynesian. Th.: Boston Meuicai. Journal men tions the following simple and economical ap paratus for overcoming bad odors, and purify ing any apartment where the air is loaded with noxious materials: Take one of any of the various kinds of glas3 lamps—for burning cnmphene, for example—and fill it with chlo ric ether, and light the wick. In a few min utes the object will be acomplished. In dis secting rooms, in the damp, deep vaults where vegetables are sometimes stored, or where drains allow the escape of offensive gases, in out buildings, and in short in any spot where it is desirable to purify the atmosphere, burn one of these lamps. One tube, charged with a wick is sufficient. A Cool Proceeding.—A gentleman going down to New York, in a North Rivet boat, the other day; missed his tooth brush,'and on looking around, was astonished to perceive a country gawk applying it vigorously to his tobacco stained ivories. "My friend, you have made a very great mis take in usiug my tooth brush," said tiie gen tleman. "Your what ! your brush? You don't mean to say that this here's your tooth brush?" "I do sir, but it is of no consequence now, you are welcome to the brush." The fellow looked puzzled at first, as if he suspected a trick, but at length he exclaimed. "Here yeou.take your confounded thingum bob! But I should like to know what has be come of the tooth brush that belongs to the boat The Rev. O S. Prescott, of Boston recently tried for heresy and acquited, is we see it stated, to have another ecclesiastical trial. The charge this time is "disorderly conduct," The court meet on the 20th of May. The disorderly con duct," we suppose, is the Rev. gentleman's having officiated, while under an order of a former court, suspending him for some months from the exercise of his functions. The pro ceedings against this young man begin to as sume, if they have not indeed, hitherto sustain ed, the appeoranca of something very like perse cution. Rkmarrable Fulfilment or a Dream.— During the night of Tuesday, the 9th instant, William Jackson, a railway laborer, residing at Green Hammerton, near Chareeborough, dreamed that he should be killed on the rail way. He awoke and told his wife of the cir cumstance, whereupon she implored him not to go that morning to his usual labor on the line: notwithstanding which, he did so, when strange enough to stale, he accidentally fell from a ballast train in the neighborhood of Flaxby, and was run over, both his legs and right arm being crushed in a dreadful manner. He was brougnt to the Wheat Sheaf Inn, in this town, where he expired three hours after his arrival. The poor man has left a widow and seven children to bewail their loss Attempt at Assassination.—The Wash ing'on Telegraph gives the particulars ol an attempt made on Sunday evening last, to shoot a young lady of that cuy. Three barrels of a revolver, it says, were lust evening, fired into ■he front window of Mrs. Little's boarding house, on C. street, at her daughter Virginia, aged about 17 or 18 years. She fortunately escaped unhurt. The person who did this deed was a Mr. G. Kirby, who has not yet been arrested. He is a young man, about 20 yeara old. It is said that he addressed Miss Little sometime since, but there has been some estrangement or alien ation of late; that he wai in fact n reacted suitor.
