JEFFERSOMAX REPUBLICAN Death of Mr. Snydam, The verdict of the coroner's jury in this case, is to the following effect, "That Abraham Suy dam came to his death by a blow or blows in flicted on his head by some person or persons unknown, and that the body was found under the floor of the house owned and occupied by Peter Robinson." Robinson, the supposed murderer, has been committed to prison, and his two brothers have been released under bail. The Courier and Enquirer of yesterday says: The examination of Robinson's brothers, Wil liam and James, elicited no facts bearing di rpr.tlv nn th murder. James (a shoemaker) admitted that Robinson had offered him $50 to burn the house. This was alter the murder, and-Robinson then said as a reason lor desiring the nWse to be burned, that he hated to live in it. Neither Robinson nor his wife have lived in the house since. He havinsr said to his brother James that he would not sleep in it for three sucn nouses; ana wnen nis wile returneu from New York, (for she was absent at the time of the murder,) she went to the house of his brother William. The excitement which this atrocious murder had caused in New Brunswick has ercatlv sub sided, a full conviction existing in the minds of the inhabitants that Kobinson is me muruerer. Yesterday morning, at about half-past 2 o' clock, the shop of Mr. Cortelyou, a watchma ker in New Brunswick, who always cleaned Mr. Suydam's watch, and identified the watch found in the hands of Mr. Evans of Newark, as being that belonging to Mr. Suydam, was bro ken open and robbed of forty-two watches. Some people seek to find a connection between the robbery and the murder with what justice, we cannot say. The notes of the Farmer's and Mechanics' Bank of New Brunswick pass current at par in that place, and the genera belief is that they are perfectly good. The Hon. Henry Clay, who is now in New York, is expected to remain there for some days. MARRIED, In Easton, on the 1 7th inst., by the Rev. Mr. Hecht, Mr. John Dawes, of the former place, to Miss Ays Eliza Gary, of South Easton. NOTICE.

Stroud tsp., Monroe county, ), Dec. 18, 1810. 3t, ' S TO AVOID DISEASE' AND ATTAIN HEALTH IS NOW IN THE POWER OF EVERY ONE. DR. BENJA MIN BRANDRETIPS Vege table Universal JPills, Introduced into the United States, May 18, 1835. There has never been an instance of these cele brated Vegetable Universal Pills not giving relief, and perseverance in old, obstinate cases, is sure" making a cure, provided nature is not entirely ex hausted. They have cured since their introduc tion into this country at least 20,000 twenty thou sand persons of diseases heretofore always con sidered incurable. It is only five years since I opened the first office for the exclusive sale of this medicine in New York; yet, in that time I have sold over ttoelve millions of boxes, and have now eighteen olfices for their exclusive sale, at least one in every principal city in the Union, at an ex pense of near forty thousand dollars per year. And with the expenses of advertising, and other incidentals, the sum was a little over One Hun dred and Thirty Thousand Dollars for the year 1839; some idea may be funned how the medicine is appreciated from these facts; they are indeed the greatest blessing tnat ever yet has been be stowed on man. I have often found persons desirous to know how soon this medicine will cure them. It is im possible to say it altogether depends upon the state of the blood and humors. One thing may be lelied upon that if the pills are persevered with according to the printed direction which ac companies each box, the cure will be effected much sooner than the patient could have expected. The many lingering chronic diseases we daily see, are owing either to mercury or bleeding, or to not having been properly purged in fevers, infiamations, cold,tncascis, small pox or lying in. It is utterly impossible for us to attain or keep health without sound purging. We may fasten up the disorder by barks and tonics, but if it be in the body, it must come out before health is enjoyed, and sooner or later it will break out of itself, worse than ever, if this method of purifying the body is delayed too long. No danger. can arise from purging with Brandreth's Puis- it ttj teen proved, beyond doubt, that lu'ose celeoiv.ed Pills and the human body are naturallyadoptedonefortheother. By the use of this Glorious Medicine the contents or hu mors of the body, can be entirely evacuated, al tered, and completely regenerated: and in a man ner so simple as to give every day ease and pleas ure. Brandreth's Pills are no less a cure than a pre ventive of diseases. When we feel dull, pain in the head, back, or side weary on the least exer tion it is then we ought to take a dose of these Pills. This will always have a good effect, be cause it is impossible for pain to be in the body without the presence of those humors which pro duce it, and it is only by their being forced out with purging that health can be restored. All that I have been able to ascertain, either by experience or from books has confirmed me in the opinion, that pain, every feeling contrary to health, is produced when the natural outlets of the body become incapable of discharging the corrupt hu mors generated in the body, as fast as nature re quires their expulsion. And that to secure health, we have only to purge ourselves, until health is restored. A practice which experience has es tablished, is fully able to produce this result, with out the possibility of any injurious effects. They who have adopted this simple plan have secured the best state of health their bodies were capable of enjoying. The weak have become robust. The robust have become more so. All mankind would be benefitted by this practice, except physicians; and they would be bodilv, though not profession ally. Let me now recommend two tilings, never be bled, and never go to a DruggisU for Brandreth's Pills. The first weakens the principle of life, and long keeps the blessings of health from the body. And the last, to purchase a Pill called Brandreths of a Druggist, is to insure the purchaser a base counterfeit, entirely incapable of producing the beneficial results of the genuine medicine. To in sure this it must be purchased of the undermen tioned Agents duly appointed by me, and who hold a regular certificate of agency, which is re newed yearly. There is an agent with one of these certificates in every town in the United States. Those purchasing at wholesale, must re member that all my travellers have a power of At torney, regularly proved to be my act before the Clerk of the county of New York. The folloicing is a list of names of all the Agents in Monroe and Pike counties. To purchase of any in these Counties not mention ed in this list tcill subject the purchaser to sure deception.

WILLIAM EASTBURN. Stroudsburg, Nov. 20, 1810. THE CONSTITUTION. . What is that we call the Constitution ? The constitution is evidently that which constitutes, and that which constitutes is the blood. We, there fore, know that the blood is the constitution, and that a good or bad constitution is neither more nor less than a good or bad stale of the blood. There is no person who, having lost health, does not wish to have it restored. Use then the proper means. Ex pel with Purgative Medicine all currupt humors from the body, and the blessing, Health, will be the certain result: for all pains or unpleasant feel ings proceed from the presence of corrupt or vi tiated humors, which are the real cause of every disease, and therefore the only disease to which the human frame is subject, because they clog up the veins and arteries, and prevent the free circulation of the blood. Brandreth's Vegetable Universal Pills cure this disease: because they remove the corrupt or vi tiated humors by the stomach and bowels, leaving the good humors to give life and health to the bo dy. It is morally impossible that they can fail to cure, provided Nature is not entirely exhausted. Dr.' Brandreth's Office for the sale of his pills in Philadelphia, is No. 8, North Eighth street.

Joseph Priestly Peters' Celebrated Vegetable Antibilous Pills, are daily effecting some of the most astonishing and wonderful cures that have ever been knoicn, the town and country arc filled with their praise, the Palace and Poor-house alike echo with their vir- tucs in all climates and under all temperatures J they still retain their wonderful virtues. PETERS' VEGETABLE PILLS. Breathes there the man who may not be occa sasionally benefited by the use of Peters'' Pills ! No, assuredly not ; for the human frame, like any other structure, will fall into confusion and ruin, if neglected; but, by the aid pf medicine judi-1 ciouslv applied, it is enabled to preserve a heal thy and even tone; and it is the fivt of well-tested public opinion, that Dr. Peters' pills are the me dicine of" medicines in the prevention or cure of the general diseases which the human tenement is incidental to. Do men in robust health require medicine Cer tainly, for the very excess of health begets cer tain diseases unless duly regulated. It the blood is suffered to run riot without correctingjaxatives, costiveness, megrin, biles, scurvy, spleen, pimples, furred tongue, or offensive breath, are the inevita ble consequences ; for exuberance of health, like over-rich soil, becomes rank, and prone to the pro duction of weeds, if care is not taken to have it judiciously moderated. But healthy men have an antipathy to the very name of medicine!! And no wonder, for nineteen twentieths of all the medicines in the world com mence operations by making the people very sick, whom it was intended they should make very well; and thus in most cases the cure is conbidered rather worse than the disease. But Dr. Peters' Pills is the celebrated and particular exception to this al most universal rule. In them there is no gripe, no nausea, no sickucss oi any kiiiu; nay, mey are abbolutely very pleasant to the taste, and rest as quietly on the stomach as so many confits of green peas, even when their operations are as sudden and effective, as if they were as disagreeable and as sickening as an old fashioned bolus. Thus the man who uses Peters' Pills,, and where is the man that docs not use them 1 expels headaches, fevers, blue devils, blotches, pimples, &c. &c. and makes his blood course as limpid and as gently through his veins as a mountain rivulet, without having put himself to any more inconvenience in taking the medicine than he would have done in swallowing so many black currants. Should ladies take Dr. Peters' Pills 1 Doubt lessly they should, for they not only assure them of health, complacency of spirits, and every bod ily comfort, but through their miraculous agency in the purification of the blood, speedily remove every thing pertaining to harshness, pimples, or casual scurvy, from the flesh, animates the eye, and gives an elasticity and a vigor to the limbs, and the general cairiage ; and hence, when you see a lady with a cheek of velvet softness, a pure lily and carnation complexion, and an easy & grace ful bearing, the general inference to be drawn is, that she is her own physician, and very particular in the choice of her medicine ; and the especial one, that she is a patron of Peters' Pills. Leaving health out of the question, should poets, novelists, editors, machinists, and men of genius and science in general, patronise Peters' Pills 1 Unquestionably, ibr the vigor which they impart to the frame, exercises a most wholesome influ ence upon the intellect : and the writer of this feels justified in saying, that any person about to carry out an idea, whether of composition or in vention, will have a more lucid understanding: of his subject, and think betterand more to the point on it, after he has vivified his system by a dose of from one to four of Peters' pills- Persons in bu siness, merchants, store keepers, clerks, specula tors, &c. will derive great advantage from them on the same principle; for if the mind is not buoy ant, no man can attend to the usual pursuits of life with due perspicuity, judgment, and pleasure and there is nothing in the world, at least that has been eer discovered, so efficient in brightening the faculties, and freeing them from participating in the languor, decay, and imperfectibilty of their mortal abode as Dr. Peters' pills. To what may be attributed these singular and wonderful effects 1 Why, to their mysterious and inevitable action upon the chyle, and that particu lar region of the system whence the living fluid is generated ; for thus they do not only purify the blood, but create pure blood, the issue of wnichis healthy veins, arteries, and other functions, unob scured vision, firm and pulpy flesh, smooth and clear skin, and the consequent buoyancy of heart, feeling, and action. In short, whether wo take them as a matter of health, business, feeling, or personal appearance, there is none of us should leave our houses without a regular supply of Pe ters' Pills. More than six millions of boxes of these cele brated pills have been sold in the United States, Canada's, Texas, Mexico, and the West Indies, since January 1835. The certificates that have been presented to the proprietor, exceed 20,000, upwards of 500 of which are from regular prac tising physicians who are the most competent judges of their merits. TESTIMONIALS. OPINIONS OF THE REGULAR FACULTY. The following are but a few taken at random, from a pile of complimentary epistles forwarded to Dr. Peters by regular physicians, touching the efficacy of his pills. He feels proud and grate ful in being able to lay such documents before the public. New Orleans, April 21, 1837. Dear Sir As an old classmate of yonrs in Yale college, I take the liberty of opening a correspon dence. I learn that you are making a fortune by the sale of your pills, which I trust is the case as I am ful ly aware that through them you are conferring a great blessing on the public. I myself am among those who have been pecul iarly benefited by their use. Since my arrival here I had been subject to severe bilious attacks, which had nearly brought me to the grave, but (and 1 acknowledge it with gratitude,) a few box es of your pills have completely restored me. I would add that their effect upon Sick Headache and sour stomach is almost miraculous. With sentiments of esteem, 11. M. SHEPERD, M. D. Clarkcsville, Mecklcnlei'g Co., Va., Feb. 7, 1837. Dear Sir. I embrace this opportunity of ex pressing to you my pleasure at the unrivalled suc cess of youi pills in this section of the country. It is the general fault of those who vend patent medicines to say too much in their favor ; but in regard to your pills I am firmly persuaded that they deserve far more praise than you seem in clined to give them. Six months ago theywere scarcely known here, and yet at present thdre is no other medicine that can compare with them in popularity. In Dyspepsia, Sick Headache,, de rangement of the Biliary organs, and obstinate constipation of the bowels, I know of no api-rient siderable experience in all these complaints more prompt anu eihcacious; and 1 have had con-. I would add that their mildness and certaintv of action render them a safe and efficient purgative for weekly individuals; and that they may be giv en at ail times without apprehension of any of those injurious consequences which so frequently attend the application of calomel, or blue pill. On the whole I consider your Vegetable Pills an in? valuable discovery. Very respectfully, 5. HARRIS, M. D. Charlotte, N. C, January 1, 1837 Dear Sir I have made frequent use of your pills in the incipient stage of Bilious Fever, and obstinate constipation of the bowels; also in the enlargement of the -Spleen, Chronic Diseases of the Liver, Sick Headache, General Debility, and in all cases have found them to be very effective. J. D. BOYD, M. D. Mccldcnlerg Co., Va., February 7. 1837. Having used Dr. Peters' Pills in my practice for. the last twelve months. 1 take pleasure in giv ing my testimony of their good effects in cabes of Dyspepsia, Sick Headache, Bilious Fevers, and other diseases, produced by inactivity of thelivei. They are a safe and mild aperient, being the best aiticle of the kind 1 have ever used. GEORGE C. SCOTT, M. D. Extract of a letter by Dr. Joseph Yfilliams, of Bur lington, Vt. July 9, 1837. "I cordially recommend Peters' Pills as a mild ly effective, and in no case- danqerous family me- ! dicine. Thev are peculiarly, influential in co'3- j tiveness and AAho usual di.eaaes 0f the digestive organs. Extract of a letter from Dr Edward Smitl of Mon treal, U. C. September, 20. 1836 " I never knew a single patent medicine that I could put the slightest confidence in but Dr Pttcrd' Vegetable pills, which are really a valuable dis covery. I have no hesitation in having it known thatj use them extensively in my practice, for all complai.its, (and they are not a few.) which hava their source in the impurity of the blood." Extract of a letterfrom DrPye, of Quebec,' L. C, March G, 1837 "For bilious fevers, sick headaches, torpidity of the bowels, and enlargement of the spleen, Dr Pe ters' pills are an excellent medicine." Those who have used these valuable Pills in this State, give them the preference to all other kind. Prepared by Joseph Priestly Peters, M. D. in ventor and sole proprietor, No. 129 Libertj-street, New York. These Valuable Pills can be obtained of Doct. Samuel Stokes and J. D. & C. Malvin's, Strouds burg, only agents for Monroe county. Stroudsburg, October 23, 1840. CURING PRACTICE. The principle of purifying the body by purg ing with vegetable physic is becoming more and more understood as the only sensible method by which sound health can be established. Hun dreds of individuals have become convinced of this doctrine, and are daily acknowledging the practice to be the best ever discovered. Now is the unhealthy season when our bodies are liable to be affected with "disease; and now i the time the siate of the stomach and bowels should be ;u nded to, because on the healthy state of .l..se organs depends the healthy state of the general system; and every one will see at once, if the general health be bad while that re mains, local disease cannot be cured. All the medicine that is requisite to restore the body to a slate of health is Brandreth's Veg etable Universal Pills, which have performed cures upon thousands of helpless and hopeless persons, after the usual scientific skill of phy sicians have consoled them with the assurance that they could do no more. The properties of these Pills as anti-bilious and aperient medicine are unrivalled; all who use them recommend them, their virtues surpass all eulogy, and must be used to be appreciated. The weak and del icate will be strengthened by their use, not by bracing but by removing the cause of weakness, the gross and corrupt humors of the body. They require no change in diet or care of any kind. Plain directions accompany each box, so that every one is his own competent physi cian. Remember, none are genuine sold by druggists. DK.
