Scarcely a day passes, that we do not

h .ids of his own friend* at the approaching e!ec

Such a course of conduct must be highly dis
iiusltiW to all people who have a just sense of
the value of character, and until within a very
N‘hor, tune pa»t. would not have been tolerated
in this country.
It would be thought an outrage upon public

be a far more manly, and, in our judgment, a
moredigmiiedcoins.-, than tint which Mr. Van
Boren is “pursuing. If the great body ofthe
people of the United States, (we do not mean

will degrade the \merican character to such a

rnrtuuiogy m i rouoie.—i\ cast oi .\apoieon,
taken after death, by Dr. Automarchi, his medi
cal attendant has put the phrenologists marvel
lously at fault. It seems that the “ developments”
are all anti-phrenological—downright posers to
a bump! Examined scientifically and after the
strictest technical fashion, the head of the great
captain indicates nothing more than a very com
mon place intellect. Tiie following is the exact
phrenological value:—Intelligence well develop
t ed, but not rising to genius; and a general apt
itude for many things, in a feeble degree. In
whatever situation such a man should be placed,
he would act his part with propriety, but would
nrrer perjnrm any thing great or extraordinary.
One of the learned in the sublime science ex
plains this very ingeniously-and satisfactorily,
i by declaring with great simplicity and acumen,
i that ‘‘there are exceptions to every general
! rule!” We look upon this solution us altogether
the best that could be given, and we adopt it
accordingly—reserving our right hereafter, to
clinch the proposition by that most musty of
maxims—Exceptio prohat regulam. However,
if there is any loop left in weak minds, the mat
ter is put to sleep by another phrenologist; for
he contends that Napoleon, after all, was no
great things. This is what they call in South
Carolina, a soctlologer, and will, we trust, sew
up all cavillers.— X. V. Courier.

PURIFIED BEARS’ OIL.
AMONG the many articles offered to the pub
lic for the growth and preservation of the
hair, none seem to have given so much satisfac
tion as the Purified Bear’s Oil, which has been
known, in many instances, to restore the hair on
heads which have been bald for years; it also pre
vents the hair from falling out, and quickly re
stores it when lost from sickness, or any other
cause. It gives to the most stubborn locks a
strong, glossy and lasting curl, removes the
dandriff, which often impedes the growth of the
hair, causing head-ache, Ac.
The Bear’s Oil is far superior to Antique or
Macassar Oils, which, being of vegetable origin,
soon make the hair hard and crisp, while ani
mal oils, on the contrary, make it soft and beau
tiful. Of the latter class, the Bear’s Oil, being
more penetrating, is, of course, preferred. Mo
thers will find it excellent for the heads of their
children, and to gentlemen of fashion it is re
commended for the growth of whiskers. When
used, it should be well rubbed into the roots of
the hair with a penetrating hair-brush, which
excites also a healthy action in the skin; the
hair should be well oiled every other day, be
fore combing it. Being highly purified, and
pleasantly perfumed, it will he found decidedly
superior to any other article for constant use in
dressing the hair. Price 25 cents per bottle.

ble article, with an extensive variety of Elegant
Perfumery, on hand, and for sale by

ESCAPED from Fairfax Jail, on Sunday
night last, three Negro Men—GEORGE,
a mulatto, 32 years old. about 6 feet high: JO
SHL'A, a dark mulatto, 22 years old. about 5
feet 10 or 11 inches high; has lost a finger from
one of his hands: RILL, or BILLY STEEL,
30 or 35 years old, 5 feet 0 or 7 inches high,
dark complexion, stout made; a cook and gar
dener by profession. Bill was recently pur
chased fropi Daniel F. Dulany, of this county.
George, who is a good carpenter, cooper, and .
rough shoemaker, we purchased from Mr. John
Du I in, also of this county: George has a white
wife living in Alexandria, where we think he
will make some short stay, and then endeavor
to get to some free State, perhaps accompanied
by Vis wife. Joshua was purchased from Col.
Wm. Eizey, of Leesburg, Loudoun county.
The above reward of 3 hundred dollars for all.
or one hundred dollars will be paid for each or
either of said negroes, if taken in any free State
so that we get them again; or twenty dollars
for Bill, and fifty each for George and Joshua,
if taken elsewhere. C. I*. POOL.
