It is a remark ible fact, that among the hundreds of em:.- iit physicians w* •» have examined the recipe by w ii< h B - Sai sapariila is prepared, not one lias con demned it. but ali approve it, and commend it in tiie 1.-'ghest terms. Many j hysicians express themselves strously in the belief that it is decidedly the best pre paration of S; ,:j auiia that has ever been placed be- i fore the public. Although there Hre many physicians who feel a r* iuc*:ance to having their names appended to the recommendation of ar.y particular remedy, not withstanding they may approve ofilin the highest de gi» e, there are others who frankly vield their support in favor of a remedy which they "know is capable of doing so much good in an adlicted community. As an evidence, read the following from old and respectable physicians, ofhigh standing ra the community in which they live: Louisville, July 13th, 1849. 1 have examined the list of articles that compose John Hull's Extract of Sarsapariila, and have no hesi tation in saying, that it is a safe and valuable com pound. I would prefer it to any article now in U6e, for the diseases arising from an impure state of the blood or taint of the system. I confidently recommend it to my friends as being a powerful Extract, and one that I believe will cure all classes of diseases for which it is recommended, if used according to directions. I be lieve it to be a valuable succedaneum to mercury.— Nav. 1 have my doubts whether, in the most violent and protracted cases of Syphilis, accompanied with Nodes Trophe, in caries of the bones, whether it ought not to supercede any other remedy. S. R. McCONACHIE, M. D., Honorary Member of the Medical Society Phil What Dr. Owen, Druggist and Apothecary, of several years standing, says about Bull's Sarsapariila :— Louisville, May 31st, 1843. Mr, John Bill—l have been, for a number of years, severely afflicted with a Mercurial Headache and a dull heavy pain in my liver. I used almost all the reme dies of the day, especially the Sarsapariila prepared by different persons. But all to little or no advantage, until 1 chanced to meet with yours, three bottles of which gave me more relief than all the others com bined. I therefore take pleasure in recommending your Sar sapariila to the afflicted community as a superior arti cle Yery respectfully yours. Hear what I)r.

The following thrilling account of an engagement between a boa constrictor and a crocodile in Java, is given br an eye witness : It was one morning that I stood beside a smalt lake, fed by one cf the rilla from the mountains. The waters were clear as crystal, and everything could be seen to the very bot tom. Stretching its limbs close over this pond, was a gigantic teak tree, and in its thick, shin ing, evergreen leaves, lav a huge boa, in an easy coil, taking his morning nap. Above him was a power.'ul ape of the baboon specif", a leering race of scamps always bent on m;s chief. Now the ope, from his position, saw a croco dile in the water, rising to the top, exactly be neath the coil of the serpent. Quick as thought he jumped plump upon the snake, which fell with a splash into the jaws of the crocodile.— The ape saved himself by clinging to a limb of the tree, hut a battle royal immediately com menced in the water. The serpent grasped in the middle by the crocodile, made the wai r boil by his furious contortions. Winding his fold round the body of hi 3 antagonist, he dis abled his two hinder legs, and, by his contrac tions, made the scale uud bones of the monster ciack. The water was speedily tinned with the blood of both combatants, yet neither was disposed to yield. They rolled over and over, neither being able to obtain a decided advantage. All ihis time the cause of miscliit f was in a state of the highest ecstacy. He leaped up and down the branches of the tree, came several times close to the scene of the tight, shook the limbs of the tree, uttered a yell, and again frisked about. At the end of ten minutes a silence be gan to come over the scene. The folds of the serpent began to be relaxed, and though they were trembling along the back, the head hung "lifeless in the water. The crocodile also was slill, and though only the spurs of his back were visible, it was evident that he, too, was dead. The troukey now perched h'uiself ou the lower limbs of the tree, close to the dead bodies, and amused himself for ten minutes in making all soiH of faces at them. This seemed to be auding insult to injurv. One of my compan ions was standing at a short distance, and taking a stone from the edge of the lake, hurl ed it at the ape. He was totally unprepared, and as it struck him on the side of the head, he was instantly tipped over, and fell upon the crocodile. A few bounds, however, brought him ashore, and taking to the tree, he speedily disappeared among the thick branches. A Sure Marksman. Wc SiiJ in the "Auto biography ol W. Jordan," the following con cerning Lord de Tabley's shooting: "Lord de Tabley was the surest shot I ever saw in the field. His piece was rarely ever raised but to kill, and twenty snipe in succes sion have fallen in proof of his accuracy of a ; m. And with the pistol he was still more wondertul. The head of a swallow peeping over a cornice of the old tower was a suffi cient object for a bullet about the size of a pea. A wagtail hopping and clipping on the lawn was a gone bird if I asked for another specimen of skill,though he wasoutof practice since the time he fired for a wager of a thous and guineas laid upon him by the Prince Re gent, the evidence of the winning of which bet w as teitified by a card with holes in the centre, resembling the ace of clubs, and which had been perforated in that way at the duelling dis tance of 13 paces. He would have stood a poor chance in a duel who ventured to meet Lord de Tabley. The loading of the pistol was a bit of minute science which amused me. The gunpowder was carefully measured in ramrod with a funnel end to receive it, and smoothed off by a fine card; the pistol was in verted over this, and being reversed, every par ticle was deposited in the breech. The rectof the loading was equally precise, and, as his lordship never missed, 1 was brought to the conclusion that three or four of the finest grains of powder, more or less, made all the difbrenee in hitting or missing."
