; WEEK IN NAUVOO—VIEW FROM THE
'EMPLE- DESOLATE APPEARANCE OF,
'HE CI PY—PROGRESS OF EVENTS, &c.
' WARSAW, Illinois, Sept. 29th, 1546. !
\ arrived there on Monday evening of last
ek. On Tuesday morning I took a stroll
rough a portion of the now deserted streets,
■d for miles, I may safely say, I passed noth- j
v hut tenantless houses; some of them closed
d barred, and others with doors wide open,
if left, in haste. All along the city, for miles,
lerever I went, might be seen on the doors,
on the walls, some notice that the tenement
as for sale, or for rent. Every thing indicates !
at Mormonism is forever extinct in Illinois,
s a people they are completely subdued. Not
lie, in my opinion, will ever try to regain a
othold in Hancock. They are selling their
'tie propelty at very low rates, indeed, al
ost giving it away—for the sake of raising
eans to take them away. Horses, cows, ox
i, and wagons, are in great demand Many
jsign to join the expedition, which has gone
advance, to the wilderness of the Far West,
hile many others have already left for points
p and down the river.
There are many instances of individual dis
ess and suffering, and how could it bo othcr
ise in a case like this? Many, doubtless, have
fft the city with nothing to live upon a day in
!1 vance. Many have crossod the river, who
' ere entirely destitute of the means of sus-
Aning their families before, and who now have
iJded to their former miseries the want of a
ouse to live in, or a roof to shelter them from
le "peltings of the pitiless storm." Many
|avo nothing left them in tho world but the
Ittle hut which they tenanted in the city, and
tie small patch of ground upon which it
|\ands, and for which, probably, they will not
|;e able to realize the sum of twenty dollars- 1
Las present myself at the sale of two lots of
".round, with a log house and a few fiuit trees
an each, for one of which the purchaser paid a
jiorsc, and for the other a cow, and the holders
feemed glad to get away with so much. Low
'.s this, doubtless, seemed to them, who had
Srobably paid S2OO or S3OO each; yet the pur
chaser had belter kept his horse aud cow. If
j'.ll the lots in Nauvoo could be bought at the
[ ame rate, I would consider them dearly paid
or.
D'ing my stay I took several occasion* to
[took at the city and surrounding country from
'.he top of the Temple. It is, indeed, a grand
! ind imposing scene, and presents tho most
[magnificent view to be found any where on
•.he banks of Mississippi. There is but one
'ooint on the river that exceeds it in beauty, in
tiny opinion, and that is Rock Island. Ten
[/ears ago, when all that part of the city which
'lies east of the Temple was covered over with
fforest trees, and little patches of oak and oth
tar timber dotted the flat part of the city nearest
\hc river bank, and the little town of Com
'merce, with it- five or six houses huddled to
'gether on the bank, it presented a very differ
ent aspect from what it does at present. Then
'it presented nature in all its loveliness: the
'placid and broad current of the Mississippi, its
'islands and sand-bars—the far-reaching prairies
'of lowa—the bold bluff which runs in scmi
[c'.rcular form around the town of Montrose
' (then Fort Des Moines,) with here and there a
'wreath of ascending smoke, to tell the habita
tion of some settler—that is the picture it pre
sented ten or twelve years ago. But no v how
' changed is the scene? What a mutation it has
t undergone! And yet, it is now a thousand
times more desolate. The only thing I nulic-
I ed which had undergone no change s'oce I was
familiar with it in 1836 and '7, was Cutler's
I Grave. It was enclosed with a stone wall,and
stood about half a mile from the river, near the
road which descended the hill from where tho
Temple now stands—and there it is jet, stand
l :ng in the midst of all this desolation, looktria
the same as it did ere the hand of man had
' wrought all this change around it. George
j Y Culler was one of the earliest peltlers in
; Hancock county, and one of tho firA county
commissioners—dying, he was buried at this
I
l 1 took occasion to ascertain as near as possi
| b.je the number of houses in the city. From my
.position on the Temple, I could count a large
y portion of the city; and from actual count, and
£ estimate based upon count, I think there are
' two thousand houses in the city proper, and in
• the suburbs five hundred more—making in all
t; two-thousand five hundred houses. About one-
R naif of these are mere shantees, built of logs,
[j some of pol. s plastered over, and some framed.
I Of the remaining portion—say twelve hun
j drcd houses —all arc tolerably fit residences,
I and one half are good brick or frame houses.
, There are probably live hundred brick houses
i tn the city, most of which are good buildings,

and some are elegantly and handsomely finish
ed rcsidorices, such as would adorn any city.
Of these two thousand five hundred houses,
1 think about one-twelfth are tenanted—some
by Mormons who have not yet got away, tho
remainder by Anti-Mormons, new oi old set
tlers, who have been permitted to stay.
Col. Geddes, of Fountain Green, in this
county, was left in command of a small force,
when the army was disbanded, and has been in
command during the past week. He has now
returned to his home, leaving twenty or thirty
men at the Temple, under command of Major
McAuley and Mr. Brattle. A small force
will probably remain in the city as long as
the Mormons remain on the other side of the
river.
No event of importance has transpired dur
ing tho week. A certain Dr. Oliver Dresser,
who hails from Maine, and who was sonicwh it
conspicuous ill the late difficulties, as a friend
and companion of Pickets', ventured over on
Wednesday from the other side. Ho was taken
into custody and kept in tho Temple till morn
ing, and then marched to the river in double
quick time, between two files of men, where he
took passage for lowa. A few other scenes of
similar character, to some of which the cere
mony of dipping was added, is all that occurred
during the week, of an exciting character.
Several casts of deep distress, mostly lone
widows and orphans, came to my knowledge
during my stay. In all of these aid was freely
given. One of these cases is a peculiar one.—
| During the preparations previous to the flight,
one of the horsemen of the city, while riding
through the street, was thrown from his horse, j
and Iris gun discharged, the ball from which |
entered the body of a Mrs. Haywood, who was j
in the door at the time. Ttre lady was badly j
wounded, hut not killed; and was unable to be '
removed from the city, at the tirnß the posse J
entered.
Her husband being a rabid Mormon, ran over ;
the river, leaving her and a young child on this
side, where she tell under tho notice of the j
Anti-Mormons. Provision was immediately j
! made for her support—medical aid procured, j
: and every care and attention bestowed which j
was in the power of the commander or his men. j
She is now doing well, and will, in a few days, I
he removed to some [dace in the interior until
1 she will be able to go to her friends in Ver- ;
mont—as she has decided not to follow her j
husband into the wilderness. What renders
her case more pitiable is, that he lias posses- i
■ sion of hor three children, all under ten years |
| old, and is making use of them to induce her
to alter her determination. She never was a !
Mormon, but in that confidence which woman j
only reposes in the object of her regard, she
I followed him to Nauvoo. Since that lime, her
j confidence has been shaken, and she has now j
determined never to cross the Mississippi, to
! swell the tide of war which Mormonism is
1 destined to carry in its train. This aecident,
| which sirs doubllless regarded as a most unfor
-1 turrato one, I regard as one of the most fortu
nate circumstances of her life. It has boon tho
j means of separating an interesting woman from ;
i a brutal and fanatical husband who would else
! have dragged her into the far wilderness to suf- j
! for unutterable woes.
BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAIL ROAD COMPANY.
We have before us the twentieth annual report
j of the President and Directors to the Stock- !
; holders of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road j
; Company. The Hon. Louis McLane has re- '
! sumed his duties as President of the company; '
but the general operations of the company are
given by Samuel Jones, Jr., Esq , President j
I pro. tem. Tho tabular statements submitted,
! "shew a steady increase in the transportation,
both of passengers and burthen. The increase
! in the number, and in the revenue from the
conveyance of passengers in the year just clos
ed, compared with the preceding, has beenmoro
than fourteen per cent. During the same pe
; riod the augmentation in the amount of ton
nage transported, has been more than thirty,
| and the increase in the revenue from the same
| source, as compared with the receipts of the
preceding year, has exceeded twenty-six per
cent. The cost of working the road has not
j been greaer, in proportion to the work done,
! than during the preceding year.
| The net revenue, including tho receipts from
j tho coal trade, after deducting the expenses of
I working and keeping the road in repair,
j amount to the sum of $440,475 34—being SBS,- j
; 713 60 greater than the previous year, and
j more than six per cent, upon the capital of the
j company. Of this sum, however, besides $65,- j
; 749 64 (being principal, interest and premium :
j in sterling bills) on account of the debt due the '
j Messrs. Baring, there have been applied during !
| the year to the reconstruction of the road and 1
| to the construction of burthen cars adapted to
. tho general trade; to improvements at the do- i
pots and to right of way; to the purchase of lo- I
j eomotive engines and the construction of vva- j
I ter stations; to the purchase of additional pow-1
er and machinery for the accommodation of an
increasing coal trade, and on account of a sub
scription on behalf of the company to the capi
! tal stock of the Bittsburg and Connellsville Rail
j Road, the further sum of $284,184 76, making
j togethor $349,934 40—and leaving of the net
| revenue of the year at the disposal of the Boaid
the sum of $90,540 94—or about one and a
quarter per cent."
It was the intention of the Company to raise
the means necessary to defray the extra ex
penses of reconstruction, by the sale of
bonds; but as this could not be done at a less
s. erifice than 8 to 10 per cent, the amount was
taken from the goneral revenue of the Compa
, uy. To refund to stockholders this amount de
| ducted from the revenue, the Board of Direc
tors "have declared a dividend of three per
cent., or three dollars per share, payable as fol
lows, that is to say: to all Stockholders owning
i cn the first day of the present month less than
1 fifty sliaies of stock, tiiree dollars in money on
1 each share on and after the 20th day of No
vember next; and to all Stockholders owning
on the said first day of the present month fifty
shares and over, one dollar on each ehare in
' money, and two dullai sin the bonds of the com
i pany, baa ring six per cent, interest payable quai
terly, and leimbursable ia twenty years; the

money to be paid and the bonds to be delivered
on or after the said 20lh day of November
next.
The attontien ofstockholders is then directed
"to the actual and probable state of the Com
pany's affairs, during and at tho termina
tion of the year commencing with the first ol
the present month." On this subject we make
the following extracts fruin tho report:
"Tho Boaid, therefore, proceed to state that,
on account of the contracts for the reconstruc
tion ot the thirty miles of road, already explain
ed, there will remain to bo paid before the Ist
of March next, not less than $225,000; —on
account of new locoinotivo engines constructing
under contracts executed in the months of A| ril
and May last, and payable during the same pe
riod $"0,000; —for new burthen cars now under
construction, $20,000, and tor improvements at
the several depots, SIO,OOO.
To these must bo added the interest upon the 1
bonds now directed to bo delivered to the stock- j
holders, and upon such temporary leans as it J
may be necessary to make in anticipation ofj
the revenue, and also the instalment payable
during the year to Messrs. Baring, Brothers & j
Co., of London, estimated together at $93,000'
—and forming an aggregato of existing engage-1
incuts of not less than than sllß,ooo°
It will be perceived, theref .re, that, indepen- !
dent of contingent expenses: such as rarely fail
to occur in tho course of a twelvemonth's op
erations, the revenue of the current year, if it j
should equal that of the past, will be absorbed
by debts already incurred ; and consequently, l
that without disposing of the company's bonds
to meet the contracts for reconstruction, it will
not be in the power of the Board to make any
dividend at the end of the year.
It is also to be observed, that an amount of
nut less than $335,000, arising out of these ex
isting engagements, must he paid before the Ist
ot March next, arid not improbably obliging tho
Board to dispose of a considerable amount of
their bonds without regard to the state of the
market; in which case it would be noccssary to
add the loss sustained by a depreciated salo, to
the other charges upon the revenue of the year,
as already explained.
It is proper, also, in this place to state, that
during the last session of the Pennsylvania leg
islature, a law was obtained authorising the
construction of a rail road from Pittsburg to
some point on the Maryland line, where it
might, be united with the "Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad; and, in the expectation that it might
thereby become an important lateral connexion
of their road with the Ohio river, tho Board,
in the month of May last, authorised a sub
scription lo be made on behalf of this company
for 700 shares, costing, at the par value, $35,-
000, in case such amount should bo found ne
cessary to secure the charter of the Pennsylva
nia company. Seven hundred shares were ac
cordingly subscribed under tho authority so
given; and the first instalment, amounting
to $1,750, was paid out of tho revenue of the
Baliimore and Ohio Railroad company.
It is now understood that tho Pittsburg and
Connellsville roail road company are desirous
of progressing with their road with the least
possible delay, :>nd that they are not without
expectations of further and greater assistance
from this company. Whatever may be the re
sult of these expectations, it is ceitain that aj
compliance with the subscription already made,
will bo insisted upon, and the extent to which
tins company may be called upon for payment,
will be an addition to tho obligations, already
explained, to be discharged from such resuuices
as may be in its power.
It would seem, therefore, that without a con
siderable increase in the business of the road, 1
or a like diminution in the expense of working
it, and unless tho Board should be enabled to
dispose ol the bonds, proposed to be issued at
fair prices, it is not only probable, but ccrlain,
that thoro can be no dividend at the end of the
; current year, but that tho net profits, and con
sequently the dividend, of the year ending Sep
tember 30th, 18 IS, will also be materially di
j minished."
Washington Branch. There has been an
! improvement in the business ol this branch dur-
I ing the last half year.
! "The net profits, including the surplus of
$6,588 31 after tho dividend in April last,
, amount to the sum of $60,576 70, of which the
j board have declared a dividend among the stock
holders of three dollars upon each share of
| stock for the last six months, payable on and
after the 15th day of the present month, and
i leaving a surplus of $11,07G 70, to be carried to
the account of the current year."
The report then proceeds to speak of the |
further prosecution of tho road to the Ohio;
River. From this portion of the report we co-;
py the following paragraph:
"Tho recent legislation of Pennsylvania, re- j
ferred lo in another part of this report, if used [
with proper skill and energy by those in charge
of the work it authorizes, may ensure to the;
company, independent of all other legislation, |
the opportunity of connecting their work with i
the western States, if not at the best, certainly
at a point possessing great advantages; and if
it be not allowed to defeat the prosecution of
the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road to its legi
male termination at a more southern point on
the Ohio, will deserve and ought to roceiveeve
ry reasonable encourgement from ibis compa
ny arid from the people of Baltimore. Tho
Board, at the same time, without meaning to
underrate the importance of the rail road from
Pittsburg to the Maryland lino, are unwilling
to lose sight of tho expectation that by means of
the legislation of the State of Virginia, they
may yet bo enabled to prosecute the main stem
of their road to some eligible point on the Ohio
river within that State."
FATAL ACCIDENT. Mr. F. P. Walter, of the
firm oi Walter & Colt, of New Orleans, was
killed in that city on the 2d inst., by the falling
of the cornice of a building on Camp street.—
He was 35 years of age, a native of Connecti
cut, and was formerly a merchant in St. Louis.
FIRE AT NEW ORLEANS. A tiro occurred at
New Orleans on the 2d inst., which consumed
eight houses, belouging to Dr. Barton, Capt.

lost every thing. The total loss was SIO,OOO,

Gov. BOUCK'S OLD WHITE HORSE. We pre
sume that the name and reputation of Gov
Bouck, the present sub-treasurer of the city of
New York, are familiar to most of our readers,
and that they may know something of his "old
white horse," wo copy the following front the,
N. Y. Sun:
The old white horse is nffw about fifteen 1
years of age, but quite brisk and lively. Ilej
was first introduced to tho people of Schoharie
county, in the Stato election in 1842 When
Mr. Bouck accepted the nomination as gover
nor, he started on the old white horse, on a pil-I
grimagc among tho mountains. The good
Dutch people turned out to meet him in every j
direction, and the Governor would address
them in thei r native Dutch, which he speaks;
with great fluency. His speech was always tho j
same at every town, and the old horse got so !
well acquainted with it, that ho know exactly
when his master had finished. At the end of
the speech he would lead off with a regular!
horse laugh, which was the signal for a hurra!
from the audience. His wonderful sagacity
was the general talk; and the accounts spread '
among the lulls, in advance of the Governor, I
positively asserted that the horse "shpoko te !
low Dutch like a pook." This increased the
excitement. Sentinels wero posted on the hill
tops to warn the villagers of tho Governor's
appearance, so that all might liavo a chance to j
see the old white horse. So the (J ivernor was
elected by an overwhelming majority, and to j
tiiis day, the good Dutch people of Schoharie!
Mountains will tell you that "Gov. Pouck'sold j
vito horse shpeaks te low Dutch like a pook." I
This valuable animal may now be seen occa*
sionally in Wall street,carrying loads of specie |
from the banks for Gov. Bouck to lock up in
the iron vaults, until he has tune to count it
and send it off to Mexico.
ANOTHER IMMENSE STEAMER. Anotherstu-j
ponduus river steamer, called the "Isaac New-j
ton," has just been completed at New York, lo
run to Albany. She is said to be the most su-1
perb steamer ever built in America, and the
largest in the world. Her length is 340 feet,!
and her accommodations will easily suit be- j
tween 700 and 800 passengers. The engine is!
the largest ever built in the United States— 1
cylinder 8 1 inches in diameter, 12 feet stroke;'
indeed it may be considered tho largest in the;
world. The puddle wheel is 39 feel 5 inches,!
face of bucket 12 feet 3 inches. Tho engine is ;
vertical, the same as that of the Knickerbock
er, and surpasses in point of machinery, finish, j
and general arrangements, anything of the kind
that has ever appeared upon our waters. The ,
gorgeous stylo in which the cabin is fitted up, \
gives the whole the appearance of a floating
palace. Tho main saloon is over 100 feet in
length. |
A DUEL. The New Orleans Commercial
Times mentions that a duel took place on Fri
day afternoon the 2d inst., between Dr. Thomas
and Mr. F. P. Le Beau, both old and respected j
citizens; weapons, small swords. We rogret to
learn, says the Times, that the former re-j
ceived a very severe wound in the right side, i
which gave rise to serious apprehensions re
garding the resut. The grand jury have in
dicted both of them.

DR. JOHNSTON.
a distinguished graduate ftoin one of the first Co
ieger i nthe United .Stater, which tnav be seen by his
Diploma; also a member of the Royal College of
surgeons and Licentiate of the Apothecary's Hall,
London; and the greater part of whose life has been
spent in thi first hospitals of Europe and America,
viz* those of London, Paris and Philadelphia , may
be consulted on all diseases, hut more particularly
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of plea
sure finds he has imbibed the seeds of this painfli I dis
ease, It 100 often happens that an ill-timed sense of
shame, or dread of discevery, deters him from apply
ing to those w ho, from education am! respectability
can alone befriend him, delaying till the constitutional
symptoms of this horrid disease make their appear
ancc, such as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose,
nocturnal pains in the head and limbs,dimnessnf sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms, blotches
; oil the head, faceand extremities, progressing on with
j (rightful rapidity, till at last the palate of the mouth 01
J the bones of the nose fall in and the victim of this aw*
! f"l disease becomes a hoi rid object of commiseration,
j till death puts a period to his dreadful sufferings, by
j sending V.im to "that bourne whence no traveller rs
j turns." To such, therefore, Dr. JOHNSTON pledges
himself to preserve the most inviolable secrecy; and,
from his extensive practice in the first hospitals of
Europe and America, he can confidently recommend
' a safe and speedy cure to the unfortunate victim of
| this honid disease.
It is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall victim
to this horrid disease, owing to the iinskilllulness 01
men, wlto by the use of that deadly poison, mercury,
ruin the constitution, and either send tlie unfortunate
suffer to an untimely grave, or else make the residue
I of his life miserable.
GONORRHOEA AND GLEET CURED, by the
| most speedy and the most pleasant remedy known te
jno other physician. Itrequires no restraint of diet,
I or hindrance front business—it is mild, safe and
! cacious, eradicating every symptom of this affection,
without causing other diseases, such as STRICTORB
and AFFECTIONS or THE BLADDER and PROSTRATI
i GLAND, which impyrics and quacks so often create
their noxious drugs and filthy infections.
STRICTURES—when there is a partial suppree
| sion of urine, accompanied with uneasiness in the
parts, or a frequent desire to make water, it is called
* Stricture. Yet this disease may exist, and none Oi
these symptoms be perceptible, or if at all, they are
so slight as to pass unnoticed; hence, we find thou
i sands laboring under this a flection who are entirely
i unconscious of it—such persons become weak in the
' parts, seldom Aave children, and in the Inter stages of
this complaint are incapable of enjoying Marriage—
'.heir systems become deianged, particularly the
i stomach, inducing symptoms of dyspepsia; also affec
tions of the mind, peculiar ftis ol melancholy, Sic.
Sic. which may end in some dreadful disease of the
> nerves, and will either cause a premature death oi
j else make the rest of life miserable. To suclt per
sons, Dr. JOHNSTON offers the most speedy remedy
I that can be obtained in tiie United States.

TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE,
j Young men who have injurt d themselves by a cei
tain practice indulged in when alone—a habit fro
j qiicntly learned from evil companions, or at school-
I the effects of which are nightly fell even when asleep,
] and if not cured renders marriage impossible, and dtv
I stroys both mind and body.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of his
country, and the darling of his parents, should be
snatched from all the prospects and enjoyments of
| life by the consequences of deviating from the path of
j nature and indulging in a certain secret habit, Such
I persons before contemplating
.MARRIAGE,
Should reflect that a sound and hody arc the most
neccssaty requisites to promote connubial happiness
: Indeed, without these, the journey through life be-
I comes a weary pilgrimage, the prospect hourly dark
en.-: to the view*—the mind becomes shadowed with
d> spair.and filled with the melancholy reflection, tbut
; the happiness of another becomes blighted with oil!
; own.
CONSTITUTIONAL DEBILITY.
Dr. J. addresses young men and all who have inj
jitred Tieipselves by private St improper imltilgcnceti
IMPOTENCE—WEAKNESS OP THE GENI
TAL ORCASS.
Loss of virile power is the penalty mostfreq uentiy
paid by those who give *i loose ri in or license m their
passions. Young persons art too apt loeominitex
; cesses flout net being aware el the dreadful effect?
that may ensue. Although iiiipotenry occur;; from
stricture, depositcs in tin urine, einvi I, ami from nu
merous other causes, yet the alms, of the sexual or
gan.*., by excessive venery or self-pollution; particu'
laily the. latter is the more frequent cause of it. Now
who thai understands tho subject will pretend to deny
that the power of procreating the species is lost soon
cjjby those who practice the solitary rice than by lbs
j prudent. Besides, by premature impotence the di
gestive functions are deranged, und the physical and
mental powers weakened by a too frequent and too
I great excitement of the genital organs. Parents and
i guardians are often misled, with respect to ths
causes or sources of disease in their sons and wards.
How often do they ascribe to other causes the wast
ing of the frame, idiotcy, madness, palpitation of the
heart, indigestion, derangement of the nervous sys
tem, cough and sytntoms, indicating consumption,
when the truth is that they have been caused by in!
dulging in a pernicious, though alluring practice, desJ
truetive to both mind and body.
INVOLUNTARY SEMINAL EMISSIONS.
I Of this distressing disease, which is the comraoa
result of'be above mentioned secret habit, but a very
j brief description formally reasons,can he given here,
I The complaint conies on gradually. It begins bye
I too hasty discharge of semen in copulative and pas
sionate dreams. Such emissions being too hasty,
have no power, while the erections arefeehle,imper
j feet and soon over. As the disorder grows worse,
the discharges or emissions become more easily ex
cited ami frequent, often brought on by lascivious
ideas, or by merely touching the part. In" this deplo
case, the emissions take place without any
pleasure and without erection, and in this debilitated
I and sensitive state of the organs the direful effects ot
pollution so ruinous to health, take place day and
! night. Pale, emaciated, and weak, the unhappy vic
tim of artificial gratification complains of pain in the
head and baek, tias a languid look, dimness of sight
j flushing of the face w hen spoken to, lowness of spj
-1 rits, and a vague dread of something, often starting
with terror at a sudden sight or sound. He also
| I oaths society, from an innate sense of shame and
feels a dislike to all bodily and mental exertion-
Distressed, and his mind fixed upon his miseries hv
I slyly searches every source thi promises reiie!.
j Ashamed to make known his situation to his friends,
!or those who by education, study,arid practical know-
I edge, are able to relieve him, he applies to the igno
( rant and dr.iuiin2> who filch li;m of his ptttuniur
; substance, and instead of restoring bint to heatltb,
l, ; ave him to sigh over his galling disappointment; ths
last scene of the drama winds up with mania, cata
lepsy, epilepsy or some terrible disease ofthe nerves
and death drops the curtain, hurrying the unhapp
patient to an untimely tomb, where his friends
totally Ignorant of the real cause.
