TESTIMONY FROM NORTH CAROLINA. Certificate of Dr. TV. Smith, qf Pine Hill, Rich?] mond County, N. C. Pine Hill, March 4th, 1854. Dr. C. M. Jackson, I'hil.id'lphu?Dear Sir: I have been a subject of Dyspuptia, in its worst f rm, for the last five years. Such was my condition for twelve months that the physicians and all who saw me said I must die. While in this condition, I was carried to the watering places in Virginia, 1 wanes see and North Carolina, hut wa? not benefited by any watet to which I was taken. While on my way boarfe, I stopped a week at Rutherfordton, a small village in North Carolina, ta try the effect ??f some Chalybeate water in that place. About the last of the week, I wont into a drug store to get some medicine fur my child and myself. There were several of the village physicians in the store, and one of them seemed to take some interest in my case, and, after asking me some questions, said he had been a dyspeptic, and had been greatly bene fitted by the use of 44 Dr. Hooflind's German Bit ters," prepared by y a, and ho insisted that I would . try the Bitt-r* He also called the next day at iny | room, and insisted so much that I would try them that I asked him to get me one bottle. He did it, and I commenced taking it as directed, and f do say I was more benefitted by it than all the water and medicine I had ever taken. After reaching home one of my neighltors came to me for a prescription and medicine, (he a dyspep tic, ) and i gnve him nearly all the Bitters I had left, which effected much good in his case. He has oft? n called on me for more of the snnie kmd of medi cine, saying he wm more benefitted by it than any other he had taken, but I have not been able to gi t any more for him or myself since; will yon, there Core, please ship me a doxen or more as soon as pos sible.

The following, which we find in a late numberof the Philadelphia Bulletin, will be read with great interest, we are sure, by our fellow-citizens of Washington city, so miny of whom hare vivid recol lections not only of the estimable and accomplished parents of the young lady to whom it relates, but of her many graces and virtues as displayed among us as she was growing up: We lately gave an extract from a let ter describing the success of Miss Juliana May, of Washington city, in the- opera of La Sonnambula, in an Italian theatre. The last steamer brought accounts of her debut at Verona, in the opera of Rigo letto, which are even more flatten rg. The journals of Verona and Milan, which are rarely indulgent to foreign artists, speak of her in the highest terms. We subjoin an extract, translated from a Ve ronese paper: Verona.? Philharmonic Socicty.? If ever there was a situation calculated to produce trepidation in a debutante, it was certainly that which Miss Juliana May encountered when she presented herself on Saturday evening (Feb. 17) upon the boards of this theatre before a Veronese audience in the opera of II Rigoletto; in the same costume, too, in which an sr tiste of high reputation, only two dajs before, had represented the same part with most brilliant success. Thus did Miss May present herself, in a part sus tained with so much applause by the ad mired Scotta, brazing the judgment of spectators already prejudiced in favor of the artiste with whom she was about to come into comparison. It was an essay doubly arduous. She would be called upon to overcome a pre-judgment and to prove to the public that she possessed the ability to maintain with dignity the difficult ordeal. And did the May suc ceed? The Veronese have decided it. We will only say how they treated her in the course of the opera. When she first presented herself it was visible to every one that the May was suffering un der a powerful emotion, upon which a spontaneous applause arose to encourage her, and it succeeded so well that in the execution of the duet with Cresci, her voice was so fine as to call forth a long continued and general salvo of applause. The same may bo said of the other duet with Giuglim, and of the romance which f recedes the last piece of the first act. n the last two acts every piece was I hailed with plaudits, particularly the finale of the last. Such was the debut of Miss May ; who possesses a sweet, musical, clear and manageable voice, capable of achieving the most brilliant success. The extracts given below, from other papers, are confirmatory of the report of the Veronese journalist, and excite the liveliest expectations of the future dis tinction of this young American artist: [From a Milan J urnal.] Verona* February 18th.?Yesterday evening, Miss Julia May made her first appearance upon our stage as prima donna in the opera of "II Rigoletto." If we were unable yesterday evening to judge of the entire capability of her voice, we could nevertheless admire its clearness, its exquisite intonations, and perfect execution, se difficult to be pre served in an opera abounding in such abrupt changes. She was continually and rapturously applauded in the first act, and the public were perhaps restrain ed from a more prodigal exhibition of their approval by a delicate apprehen sion that it might offend the excellent Signora Scotta With perseveranee and study the most iofty aspirations may be realized. We recommend both to Miss May, and we predict from them the hap piest success. (From "'II Bollectore dell' Adige," Feb 20Ji ] A Glancs at the J-tage.?The opera of II Rigoletto was presented at our Phil harmonic Theatre on the evening of the 15th instant, and though it was not un favorably received, it did not give entire satisfaction. Signora Scotta and Signor Ginglini, however, were applauded in many of its parts. On the evening of the 17th instant Sig norina Juliana May made her appearance on the same stage in the same opera. As we have already taken occasion to re mark in this journal, she had previously shown herself adequate to the graceful execution of various pieces of music in the concerts of the Pic Philharmonic So ciety. She was then applauded for her fine execution, and was repeatedly so in many pieces of this opera, especially in the quartette. Considering the difficul ties which this opera presents, and the felicitous success of Miss May in the ex ocutioa of them, in the commencement of her career, we have every right to predict that she will become a distinguished artist. ? TH1 CA8I OP KWMA MOOM The Rochester papers of Wednesday are filled with details of the discovery of the body of Miss Moore, whose sudden disappearance not long since, caused eo much excitement. It will be remem bered how town meetings were held, rewards offered, ponds dragged, woods scoured, and houses searched in vain. But now, after the event has almost dropped from the public mind, the find ing of the corpse invests it with a new interest. The circumstances of ihe dis covery are described by the Rochester Democrat as follows: (M . . ?< About 5 o'clock yesterday (Monday) afternoon, the city was electrified by a report that the body of Emma Moore had been found. As the report spread, neo ple gathered in crowds, and in fifteen minutes one or two thousand were in and about the court-house, into which the dead body of a female bad just teen conveyed." '* It was soon ascertained that iho body had been seen bv the friends of Emma Moore, who bad recognized it as her body. 44 The clothes were Tcry rotten, but nearly perfect, and, so far as was seen, nothing indicated bow she met her tad fate." Miss Moore had disappeared on the night of November 14. She has. there fore, been missing four months and fire days. Appearances indicate that she has been all that time under th? water. But the manner and mean* of her death are as great a mystery as ever. Mr. Whitlocke, a young man who was engaged to be married to the deceased, made this statement in the coursc of his examination: "On the afternoon of her disappear ance saw her at the store; about four o'clock, I think ; was in the back part ef the store ; she said something about not getting the work as soon as she expect ed ; that work Las since been icturncd uncompleted; left the store a few min utes after seven o'clock that evening; had been to tea at six ; was last in tho store; took the key to Mr. Brachraan ; went as far up street as I'aul street; turned and went back to the Arcadc; had a watch at Mr. SchotiddV, and turned to go and get it; it wag on tho west side of State street; passed through the Arcade and went out to Staic Ore-ct; don't think I crossed over; did out ro to the store; Schofield bad rt^ue?f'xl rao on Monday to leave il (the vvr>ich) for a week; on leaving State street, I turned into Buffalo street, and thence into Main street, and then went to my home. I went on Wednesday night ai>d got the watch; saw no person that i can cad by name, going home ; stopped co length of time on the oorncr of Exchange Place and State street; it had conmienc.Hl storming; did not sae Emmi Mooro there; did not go to Wilder & Gotton's nor pass that store that night; didn't step in the Arcade; met no person that I supposed to be Emma M<>ore; saw no female t* at I was familiar with; went to no place with one; the only change in dress I made was to change overcoats; got an umbrella, and went to llirmomc Society's room in the Crystal i'alace block; stayed there until half past niue. The jury rendered the following ver dict : 44 The deceased came to her death by drowning; but whether she drowned herself voluntary, or otherwise, the jury, from the testimony are unable to say.' The remains of Emma Moore were taken in charge by her relatives. 8ISGUL1B 72BAK IN LUXACY. A writer in the Church's Bizarre, gives us some interesting facts and remarks concerning the unfortunaus in a Lunatic Asylum. A peculiar condition of lunacy is thus described; 44 There are seasons when most of the patients?especially those whose lunatic attacks are only intermittent?are dread fully weary of their contincnient, and would get away if they could. And why do they not get away ? How is it that half-a-dozen attendants are able to con trol a hundred men, four-tifths of whom perhaps, are physically as strong, if not stronger than themselves ? If the par tients, or even a portion of them, could harmonise and combine, they might gag every attendant, take their keys, unlock the doors, and escape. But the simple fact is, lunatics cannot combine for effecting a common eud ; (his is one ot the most marked features of their mal ady. A single maniac may employ a great deal of cunning dissimulation, and is capable of carrying out a complicated and lengthened series of measures lor ac complishing some of his ow n. Bui * hen two or more of them attempt to unite their forces, and confer on some plan to be executed, they either cannot agree at all, or, if they agree for a short sj ace, one or another is sure verv soon to be tray the rest, to disclose their intents, and, perhaps, help to defeat thtui; so that, practically, each luuatic stands alone in opposition to the whole number of attendants, and cannot rely en the slightest aid from scorcs of his mad com C'ons. So striking is this feature of cy, that wo may well regard it a providential arrangement, which deprives of a terrible power of working mischief those who have lost their caj>aciiy of self-control. 44 Something of the same Cju^ci yalive providential arrangement is witness'd in the case of the criminal and vicious. They cannot rely on each other 's udelity, but are ever ready to betray each other, and rend in pieces the very schemes they have aided in forming, and have sworn to help to execute. By this means so ciety is preserved fiom the measureless evil which might be done by combination of men, with all their intellectual powers in full vigor, on the alert, and totalis freo from restrains of conscience and principle, if at the same time they could hold to gether, and be as true to each other as the virtuous part of mankind. But evil is self-defeating, as w ell as lunacy, and Heaven be thanked for both these ordita tiocs."
