The Parkman Case .—Dr. Webster is said

intimacy with Dr. Parkman, in which he will
endeavor to show that a conspiracy exiats against
him and that the body found is not that of Dr.

The fat# of the Wilmot proviso is sealed in

Administration, will help to bury it. Mr. Hale.
by offering his Wilmot proviso amendment to
Mr. Foote's resolution, will be the hero ot an
unfinished tragedy. His virtues will not be
rewarded in the fifth act, and he will not e\ en
be permitted to stab himself.

more than one occasion, stood aside to preserve

Meslen's Process of Sugar Making .—The
Franklin Planters' Banner, of the 5th instant,
says :
A few days since we saw some sugir made
on ^Messrs. Lyman and Todd's plantation, in
this parish, by a process which is a rongh imita
tion of that recommended by Professor Mes
len. The sugar is a splendid article, and the
contrast between that and the other sugar
near it, made by the old process out of the same
kind of cane, seemed truly wonderful. The su
gar yielded buta very small 'amount of molas
ses, and what it did yield is uncommonly thick.
The process by which this result has been ob
tained,is asfollows: A small quantity of the
bisulphate of Mme was mixed with water, and
the mixture placed in a tin vessel over od <>. end
of the mill-bed rh such a position that a small
stream issuing from the vessel would mingle
with the cane juice as it passed from under the.
cylinders to the spout leading to the cistern. By
this means, the fresh juice, as soon as it leaves
the cane, mingles at once with the liquid, and
such is the character of the bisulphate of lime
that it at "once neutralizes every tendency to
acidity that previously existed in the juice. Pro
fessor Meslen' is of the opinion that the mo
ment the juice leaves the cells of the cane it
commences changing to an acid, and that if the
bisulphate of lime is at once mixed with it, this
tendency; so injurious to the crystalization, is
at once destroyed. The experiments of Messrs.
Lyman and T^odd are necessarily imperfect, but
the results are certainly highly satisfactory.—
Whether this sugar will bear shipping as well
as other sugar, amHs in all rejects superior to
other sugari we do not know. Time will show
both its perfections and imperfections.
The Extent of oub Country .—It has been
computed that the United States have a frontier
line of 10,750 miles, a sea coast of 5,430 miles,
a lake coast of 1,160 miles. One of its rivers
ia twice as long as the Danube, the largest ri
ver in Europe. The Ohio is 600 miles longer
than the Rhine, and the noble Hudson has a
navigation In An "Empire State" one hundred
and twenty miles longer than the Thames. With
in Louisiana are bayous and creeks, almost un
known, that would shame, by comparison, tte
Tiber or Seine. The State--of Virginia alone
is one third larger than England. The State
of Ohio contains three thousand square miles
more than Scotland. The harbor of New York
reoeives the vessels that navigate rivers, canals,
and lakes to the extent of three thousand
miles, equal to the distance from America to
Europe. From the capital of Maine to the
"Crescent City" is two hundred miles further
than from London to Constantinople, a route
that would cross England, Belgium, a part of
Prussia, Germany, Austria and Turkey.— Nat.

* Wrjght's Indian Vegetable Pills.
THIS medicine ia compounded on general principles,
from the pure, unadulterated herbs of the ludian.—
Although there are many medicines called by the eame
name, every one is aware that there is a very great differ
ence among them. Thope of them that arc colled "Indian,"
have stolen the name from us, who were the first to intro
duce tt prepared Indian medicine to the American public—
Of course a similarity of name docs not create a similarity
in th£ character of the medicine.
Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills are dittinguished fortheir
perfei.t adaptation to the jiuman body. In their operation,
they do exactly what nature does, and nothing more. They
have a tour-fold action upon the lungs, skin, kidneys and
bowels. Hence their peculiar power over disease. By pro
moting perspiration, they break np Colds, Coughs, Rheu
matic Complaints, Pain in the Back, Scrofula, Cutaneous
Eruptions, Pimples, Blotched, Freckles, Erysipelas, &c.
Tho action of the Pills ou the kidneys is such as to make
them a valuable lithontripic. Dropsy, Gravel, and Female
Complaints,arising from obstructions at certain periods, are
speedily removed by their use. A free Expectoration from
the lungs is excited by the use of Wright*» Indian Vegeta
ble Pills, thus removing pulmonary complaints, such as Asth
ma, Bronchitis, soreness and tightness of the Breast, Coughs,
Sore Throat, &c. By their action on thé stomach and bow
els, the Pill« cure Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Palpitation
of the Heart, Flatulency, Costiveness, Fevers of all kinds,
Pleurisy, Headache, Giddiness, Dysentery, Piles, and all
disorders of the intestines. Taken in Bmall doses, Wright's
Indian Vegetable Pills become an Alterative Medicine, of
great searching efficacy, for the cure of sores of all kinds,
Tetter, Tumors, Jaundice, Lownesd of spirits, Rash, Pains
in the Bones. <fcc. These Pills also thoroughly break Influ
enza, in which complaint they are extremely valuable.
In Billious complaints these Pills exercise a complete mau
lery. Hence Fever and Ague is speedily cured by the use of
them. In the Western and Southern States, where this dis
ease mo#tly prevails, these Pills go like an avalanche. While
thev arc choaper than the fever and ague remedies in gen
eral, Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills have been pronounced
superior to all of them. Indeed, it would appear that if
, there is one complaint over which these Pills havo more
power than another, it is Fever and Ague. For destroying
and expelling -Worms, no Vermifuge ia superior to these
Pills. Although we have not taken pains to make this fact
public, the merit of the medicine itself has acquired tor it
an extensive reputation and sale for the removal of Worms.
Administered to adults or children, the effect of the Pill« is
equally radical and decisive. All who »uffer from Worn»
should, by all means use Wright's Indian Vegetable Pill«.
In fact, no one can go amiss in the use of this medicine.—
They are natural to the bodv as food is. A trial will con
vince the skeptical that Wright's Indian Vegetahle Pills,
far from being a common "quack nostrum," are deeidedly
the most valuable medicine ever offered to the public.
