She took fire from her furnace on her down wad trip, about forty miles above Kingston, at 2 o'clock in the morn¬ ing. When the fire was first discovered she was about a mile and a half from the shore, for which she immediately headed, but so intense was the heat that her Jtachineey gave out and she drifted <o sea. Thfe upper cabin was consumed in about fifteen minutes, ana in two hoars the hull went down. Tlse'rt were on board fourteen cabin and nine deck passengers, besides four children and the crew making the frnmber about fifty, of whom"twenty-two were saved. These were picked up by the schooner Georgianna bit a few minutes before the sinkingof the wreck. Among those lost arc Mrs. Donald, a nurse nnd three chil¬ dren of the cashicr of the Gore Bank, Hamilton ; three ladies names unknown ; and Mr. Lyman B. Fiske, of Ogdensbnrg.

MEXICAN MUSTANG LINIMENT. Messrs. A. G. Bragg & Co..Gentlemen: We have been using-your MEXICAN MUSTANG LINI¬ MENT with the most perfect success. One of our most valuable Express horses had been much troubled by large swelling's or tumors on the fetlocks; they had grown larger than hen's eggs. Resides being- disfi¬ gured by these appendages, the limbs and joints ap- pcarcd quite stiffened, swollen and lame. We had tried many Liniments and other remedies, but no¬ thing' app«*ared to produce any effect upon them. We would willingly have given twenty-live dollars to have had them removed, and the horse restored to sound¬ ness. Our hostler obtained some of your Liniment, and applied it without our knowledge. A few days ago he called our attention to the horse, and to our surprise and gratification, his legs were perfectly smooth, the tumors having entirely disappeared ! We asked him by what inajric he had effected such a re¬ markable cure? His reply was that he had been using the MUSTANG LINIMENT on them about ten days, and the result was the entire removal of the tumors without producing any soreness or leaving a scar.^ We therefore take great pleasure in recommending the Liniment, and shall continue to vise it whenever occasion requires* 111 preference to-any other prepara¬ tion, so long its it produces such remarkable results. KINGSLBY & CO., Southern and Eastern Express, No. 1 Wall street, June 30, 1852. corner ofBroad way, New York. Since the al>ovc certificate was given, Messrs. Kins¬ ley & Co., inform us that one oT their drivers was thrown from his wagon in the upper part of the city, and very badly bruised, the wagon passing over his body. He was taken into a Doctor's office closeb^, and the Physician told him to u«e the Mustang Lini¬ ment, as lie had recently tried it in a similar case with great success. He did so, and all the soreness, lame¬ ness, and stiffness was removed, so tliat the next day he was about his business as usual. New York, July 31,1852..We hereby certify that we have used the Compound known as the Mustang* Liniment, and have 110 hesitation in recommending it as the best article we have ever psed for the cure of Sprains, Galls, Cuts, Bruises, etc., on horses. All who doubt this, will please call on the undersigned, and they will be happy to afford nil other information in their power as regards its efficacy, etc. LUTZ, DALL & CO., Proprietors Manhattan Stage Company.

IMPORTANT FOR HOATM EX & BOAT- Builders, Railroad and Bridge Builder*. I HAVE invented (and alii «:plyinir to »we so far as to fully test its propertied) Check or Robber* for the purpose of checking" ami holding" pert;-uiently a lx*at when entering" the lock* or any other oIokc place, throug"h which it may pass, on the feverrtl fannls;.- The invention is as follow.-, viz: A sill of proper di¬ mensions laying-across the boat*in tbecentreoi which is a fulcrum or axle to work ti lever or tiller on> paral¬ lel to and on the top of tlie sill ore two pieces of tim¬ ber, of suitable size, for the purpose of sliders: tit the centre above named, in the sill, if also a pivot fulcrum or axle for the lever to take hold of »nd work fcii * glid¬ ing* pieces in straight lines with, o-nd in oppo.-i»e di¬ rections to, each other, jutting" the ends of tin- sliding, pieces out of the sides of the boat" and thus check its headwav, by rubbing against the ixason work of (he lock. The lever when placed on the* two sliding pieces will be in form as in Euclid, boolc/lst, propositions 27th, 23th, and 29th, ofa line filling on two straight lines, and the changes by the required moving of The straight line producing at the nunc time difi? rent an¬ gles a. their junctures. The same movement of the two sliding-pieces may be- effected by other fixture, such as the placing between the two sliding pi« res a cog-wheel, taturn with a crank or 'ever, orliy placing in a line with them something operating as a jack- screw, or other something of the kind which will pro¬ duce the required operation, such as two pieces, one end of each piece made fast to a sliding piece and the two ends joined, so as to form an obtuse angle, which when druwli to a straight line will produce the same operation on the two angles ah opposite sides, such as would f«rm the rha tubus «»r rliambaidc ull of which will answer the same purpose; rollers may be pbu-ed in different ways on the end of the sliding pieces iliat- juts out if sucli l>e required. 1 think the above will sufficiently describe die form of the check, and the line or lever failing on the other two strr'ght lines or pieces will fully illustrate the fluxional c< - efficient or moving cause. ; J NO.

WE witnessed the extraction of Teeth by Dr. J. F. Caldwell, and wo pronounce him to be the Prince of Tooth Extractors, and the Chief of Surgeon Dentists! He extracted one for each of us. We con¬ sider his method original and more safe, and less pain¬ ful than any other tliat lias come within our notice.. He operates without endangering the gum or injuring the jaw, and uses apparently but little force, and con¬ sequently regarding all the principles of his plan, it is evidently the best that lias been, or could be devised to remove teeth; all other lnctltods when compared to his, are murderous in the operation, alarming to the mind, and imperfect in manner. BYRD CARTER, M.D. G. W. NETTLETON, M.D. We not only subscribe to the above certificate signed by Dr. Carter and others, but will add, that Dr. Cald¬ well has fully and most satisfactorily explained to us the principles on which he bases his operations on the Teeth, and we with pleasure state that his remedial treatment of the teeth in correcting pain, abating- de¬ rangement, and extracting Teeth, is not only scienti¬ fic, but comparatively the safest of any of which wc have any knowledge.

She tookfire from her furnace on her down wad trip, aboutforty miles above Kingston, at 2 o'clock in themorn¬ing. When the fire was first discovered she wasabout a mile and a half from the shore, for which sheimmediately headed, but so intense was the heat thather Jtachineey gave out and she drifted <o sea. Thfeupper cabin was consumed in about fifteen minutes,ana in two hoars the hull went down. Tlse'rt wereon board fourteen cabin and nine deck passengers,besides four children and thecrew making the frnmberabout fifty, of whom"twenty-two were saved. Thesewere picked up by the schooner Georgianna bit afew minutes before the sinkingofthe wreck. Amongthose lost arc Mrs. Donald, a nurse nnd three chil¬dren of the cashicr ofthe Gore Bank, Hamilton ; threeladies names unknown ; and Mr. Lyman B. Fiske, ofOgdensbnrg. The progress of the flames was so rap¬id that it was imposible to launch any of the boatswhich were on board.

Through by Express.MEXICAN MUSTANG LINIMENT.Messrs. A. G. Bragg & Co..Gentlemen: We

have been using-your MEXICAN MUSTANG LINI¬MENT with the most perfect success. One of ourmost valuable Express horses had been much troubledby large swelling's or tumors on the fetlocks; they hadgrown larger than hen's eggs. Resides being- disfi¬gured by these appendages, the limbs and joints ap-pcarcd quite stiffened, swollen and lame. We hadtried many Liniments and other remedies, but no¬

thing' app«*ared to produce any effect upon them. Wewould willingly have given twenty-live dollars to havehad them removed, and the horse restored to sound¬ness. Our hostler obtained some of your Liniment,and applied it without our knowledge. A few daysago he called our attention to the horse, and to oursurprise and gratification, his legs were perfectlysmooth, the tumors having entirely disappeared ! Weasked him by what inajric he had effected such a re¬markable cure? His reply was that he had been usingthe MUSTANG LINIMENT on them about ten days,and the result was the entire removal of the tumorswithout producing any soreness or leaving a scar.^We therefore take great pleasure in recommendingthe Liniment, and shall continue to vise it wheneveroccasion requires* 111 preference to-any other prepara¬tion, so long its it produces such remarkable results.

ley & Co., inform us that one oT their drivers wasthrown from his wagon in the upper part of the city,and very badly bruised, the wagon passing over hisbody. He was taken into a Doctor's office closeb^,and the Physician told him to u«e the Mustang Lini¬ment, as lie had recently tried it in a similar case withgreat success. He did so, and all the soreness, lame¬ness, and stiffness was removed, so tliat the next dayhe was about his business as usual.New York, July 31,1852..We hereby certify that

we have used the Compound known as the Mustang*Liniment, and have 110 hesitation in recommending itas the best article we have ever psed for the cure ofSprains, Galls, Cuts, Bruises, etc., on horses. All whodoubt this, will please call on the undersigned, andthey will be happy to afford nil other information intheir power as regards its efficacy, etc.

ISAAC ROSE.IMPORTANT FOR HOATMEX & BOAT-Builders, Railroad and Bridge Builder*.

I HAVE invented (and alii «:plyinir to »we so far asto fully test its propertied) Check or Robber* for

the purpose of checking" ami holding" pert;-uiently alx*at when entering" the lock* or any other oIokc place,throug"h which it may pass, on the feverrtl fannls;.-The invention is as follow.-, viz: A sill of proper di¬mensions laying-across the boat*in tbecentreoi whichis a fulcrum or axle to work ti lever or tiller on> paral¬lel to and on the top of tlie sill ore two pieces of tim¬ber, of suitable size, for the purpose of sliders: tit thecentre above named, in the sill, if also a pivot fulcrumor axle for the lever to take hold of»nd work fcii * glid¬ing* pieces in straight lines with, o-nd in oppo.-i»e di¬rections to, each other, jutting" the ends of tin- sliding,pieces out of the sides of the boat" and thus check itsheadwav, by rubbing against the ixason work of (helock. The lever whenplaced on the*two sliding pieceswill be in form as in Euclid, boolc/lst, propositions27th, 23th, and 29th, of a line filling on two straightlines, and the changes by the required moving of Thestraight line producing at the nunc time difi? rent an¬

gles a. their junctures. The same movement of thetwo sliding-pieces may be- effected by other fixture,such as the placing between the two sliding pi« res a

cog-wheel, taturn with a crank or 'ever, orliy placingin a line with them something operating as a jack-screw, or other something of the kind which will pro¬duce the required operation, such as two pieces, oneend of each piece made fast to a sliding piece and thetwo ends joined, so as to form an obtuse angle, whichwhen druwli to a straight line will produce the same

operation on the two angles ah opposite sides, such aswould f«rm the rha tubus «»r rliambaidc ull of whichwill answer the same purpose; rollers may be pbu-edin different ways on the end of the sliding pieces iliat-juts out if sucli l>e required. 1 think the above willsufficiently describe die form of the check, and theline or lever failing on the other two strr'ght lines or

J. F. CALDIVELL,DENTIST,

Is now at Carter's Hotel, Charlcstown, Va.

WE witnessed the extraction ofTeeth by Dr. J. F.Caldwell, and wo pronounce him to be thePrince of Tooth Extractors, and the Chief of SurgeonDentists! He extracted one for each of us. We con¬

sider his method original and more safe, and lesspain¬ful than any other tliat lias come within our notice..He operates without endangering the gum or injuringthe jaw, and uses apparently but little force, and con¬sequently regarding all the principles of his plan, it isevidently the best that lias been, or could be devised toremove teeth; all other lnctltods when compared tohis, are murderous in the operation, alarming to themind, and imperfect in manner.

BYRD CARTER, M.D.G. W. NETTLETON, M.D.

We not only subscribe to the above certificate signedby Dr. Carter and others, but will add, that Dr. Cald¬well has fully and most satisfactorily explained to usthe principles on which he bases his operations on theTeeth, and we with pleasure state that his remedialtreatment of the teeth in correcting pain, abating- de¬rangement, and extracting Teeth, is not only scienti¬fic, but comparatively the safest of any of which wchave any knowledge. If medical men will consulthim, we are induced to believe they will be fully satis¬fied of tile correctness of his views.
