no alteration in prices since our last.
Corn is firm, and sound is scarce, we note sales
of 12000 bushels of Western at 46 a48 cents. In
Southern we hear of no sales.
Pork continues firm,000 bbls. of prime sold to
day at $8, and 400 bbls. of mess at $9.50, which
is an advance on our last quotations.
„ PASSENGERS BY RAILROADS.
Some judgment may be formed of the number
of strangers in the pity (says the Baton Travel
Irrs) during the 4th. by the following estimates
from the principal railroads; The Boston and
Worcester road brought into the city between
Thursday night and Saturday night, 6000
sengers; Saturday night, after the firework*. a
single train wns_ run over this road, of 63 cars,
carving about 2500 persons, the largest train that
was o’er run on the road. The Providence road
brought into the city on Friday and Saturday 4(300
passengers, and a single train, on Saturday
ing, carried out 2000 pnssrngers. Over 8000 per
sons came into the city over the Eastern railroad on
Friday and Saturday. Boston and tMaine rail
road had on the 4th about 5U00 passengers ; car
ried out on Saturday night between 2000 and
3000 in two trains of 27 and 24 cars each. Bos
ton and Fitchburg railroad ran 38 trains during
tbe day, up and down. Passengers, carried do*
ring the day and evening, a trout 6000; carried
up at night, in 62 cars, drawn by three engines.

STILL ANOTHER TRIUMPH OVER
DISEASE IN MAINE !
Warren, Lincoln County, July 15, 1845.
Dear Sir: I take pleasure in complying with
your request to bear testimony in favor of your
valuable medicine, having had a daughter, 15
years old, very dangerously sick the last year, re
stored with it. My daughter to<'k a violent cold
in September, 1843, which settled on her lungs.—
She was troubled with a bad cou2h all winter. I
tried various kinds of medicines, but none of them
had the desired effect. The cough continued until
March, w hen we became alarmed at her condition,
and applied to a physician, who attended her some
time, hut did her no good. We then consulted
another, but all to no purpose. Having exhausted
the whole catalogue of medicines now in the land
—two distinguished physicians having done their
best to restore her—wo then obtained a bottle of
DR. WJSTAR’S BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY,
which relieved her immediately. After taking four
bottles she was completely restored, and now en
joys good health. JOHN LEEDS.

VEGETABLE FEVER AGUE
AND ANTI FEV£R.
_ PILLS.
THE success of these Pills in curing in a few
hours, where all other remedies have failed,
and that, too, in cases of twelve and eighteen
months standing, warrants the assertion that, if ta
ken according to tiro directions, they arc a certain
cure. Try them and be convinced that they are
the most ceriain an I the very best remedy offered
to the public to insure a permanent and lasting
cure. “
The following certificate is from Ilcv. E. L. Fra
zer of Kershaw district, S. C.
I have used in my family Dr. Hull’s Fever and
Ague Pills and also Dr. Spencer’s Vegelaclc Pilla,
for the last two years, and have no hcsiiation in
pronouncing them to be most excellent Jamily medi
cines; and as an act of jus ice to the. worthy propri
etors of these invaluable Pills, I will state for the
information and satisfaction of all concerned, that
my wife, prior to our marriage, had been more or
I less the subject of chills and fivets, for about 18
mouths, having tried various remedies without suc
cess, ami was very much reduced in flesh. A few
days after our marriage, she commenced with
Spencer's Pills, and in a day or two afterwards with
Hull’s Pills; she us^d about ha', fa !>ox of car h ; ihc
result was a radical eu/e; she regained her health
and strength very rapidly and his had no return of
chills and fevers sii I believe these medicines to
bo harmless and safe, and when used as specifically
directed, arc attended with sntisfietory results

The great popularity ol Sarsaparilla, and its es

to any encomium of its virtues, or adduce any evi
dence in its favor. It is true, that it has been here
tofore subject to frequent changes of reputation,
owing to ignorance of the [ toper mode of extract
