Few men in the community have a greater contempt for nostrums in general than myself. Patent medicine and catchpenny, with me, have been synonymous.

A young lady in my family, by using two papers, I have rea son to believe, is effectually cured of an alarm ing Pulmonic Complaint, which in all its symp toms gave evidence of immediate consumption.

ON Tuesday morning, between Fredericks burg and my plantation, in the upper end of Stafford, a NEGRO MAN, and the MARE on which he was riding, both belonging to me, were stolen by a man who seems to have been a stranger in this part of the country. When seen in possession of the Slave and of the Mare, he was inquiring his way to Stafford Court House. He is described to me as a person be tween fifty and sixty years of age, with re markably white hair; his stature stout and well set. He wore a brownish colored stuff cloak. The negro is between twenty-five and thirty years of age, as well as is remembered; stout in his person, and about five feet ten or eleven in ches high: has a drawling manner of talking, and appears to be much less sagacious than he really is. His name is Jack. His dress was a blue cloth cap, a grey great coat, and his under clothing drah cloth. The Mare is a fine large sorrel, without any spot of white about her, unless perhaps there 1 may be some few white hairs in the centre of the forehead, not covering more than the size of I a four-pence-halfpenny. She is, as well as is recollected, going on seven years of age; is re markably long in her body; has along tail, and it is remarkable where it joins the rump. There may be discerned in the film of one of her eyes an incision which was made a year or two ago to cure the hooks. One Hundred Dollars Reward will be given for therecovery of the above Slave and Mare, or in the proportion offour and two for the recovery of either. JNO. TAYLOE LOMAX) Fredericksburg, Jan. 23, 1831.

BALTIMORE ANNUAL CONFERENCE. This Conference closed its session, in this .toe. on Saturday night last, after a session of :.:even days. Bishops Andrew and Emory, and ‘tout one hundred and forty preachers, were -•resent. Much important business was trans irted Never have the members of this Con ference, large and important as it is, met toge ther and transacted the business of the Confer ence with greater unanimity, or undei tne influ ence ofbetter feelings. The ordination of Dea cons and Elders took place in the Methodist Church, on Sabbath week, Bishop Andrew offi ciating Twelve were ordained Deacons, and thirteen ordained Elders. Not soon will the so lemn services of that day be forgotten. The vast crowd attending to hear the word of God, aud witness the solemn services of the occasion, felt that it was, indeed, the house of God and the gate of Heaven The whole scene was tru ly* imposing. There stood the messengei ot God. and gave the solemn charge to those who were about taking upon themselves the work of the mintstry. He had come a stranger amongst us, but he had brought the spirit of his Master and his mission with him. Before him sat more than one hundred men, some of them old, feeble, grey-headed—the taper sending forth its last feeble flickering?; others young, ardent, strong to labor and to-suffer. They had come toge ther from various scenes of labor, and only waited to have other fields assigned them, and then they were prepared to address themselves to their great work. No heart, from which the Kinder and purer feelings had not been exiled, failed to enter, with deep.and lively interest, in to the scene presented. Eternity, we have no doubt, will exhibit the ripened and matured fruit of seed sown on this occasion. Among other important business transacted by the Conference, was a subscription, on the part of the members, of twelve thousand dollars toward Dickinson College, now under the con trol and management of the Baltimore and Phi ladelphia Annual Conferences. This subscrip tion evinces the deep interest taken in the sub ject of Education generally, as the individual subscribers were to receive no personal benefit from their subscriptions, or be entitled to any special privileges as ministers. The increase in the membership, after deduct ing for deaths, removals, expulsions, &c., amounts to three thousand two hundred and nine. Previous to the adjournment of Conference, resolutions were passed unanimously, returning lhanks— 1st. To the families who had so cheerfully re ceived and kindly entertained the preachers du ring the session of Conference. 2d. To tiie Ministers who had so kindly, in behalf of themselves and congregations, offered the free use of their pulpits and churches to the Conference. 3d. T n nn honie Poliaf Snriptv fnr thf> Use of their Hall; and *fh. To Mr. Pierpoint, for the excellent order Maintained among his scholars, from the com mencement to the close of Conference.

Bank of Maryland, 24th March, 1831. The Board of Directors of this Institution have ascertained, with surprise and deep regret, equal to any that the community will feel, that the Institution is unable to proceed with its busi ness, and they have resolved to transfer all its effects to a trustee, for the equal benefit of the creditors of the Bank. The Board of Directors hope and trust that the assets will be sufficient to discharge the debts of the Institution; and their determination to stop its business at once, is from a conviction, that to continue it longer would be attended with loss to the community. Their advice to the cre ditors, founded upon the best judgment they are now able to form, is not to sacrifice their claims. The debtors of the Institution will have the pri vilege of paying their debts with the notes and certificates of deposits, and open accounts due by the Bank; and that alone, they hope, will en able the note-holders and depositors speedily to realize nearly all, if not the entire amount, of their credits.

"IMPROVED COMPOUND CHLORINE TOOTIl WASH. THE discovery of the Chloride of Soda and its uses, by Labarraque, of Paris, was an addition to the resources of medicine of the ut most importance as a neutralizing agent. To counteract at once the principle of decay, which commencing imperceptibly, slowly ga thers strength, and finally destroys, is the im portant service which can be derived from the use of the Chloride of Soda, when administered with skill and care. The diseases of the Teeth being, in the great majority of cases, the result of neglect and a gradual accumulation of the principle above alluded to, it became obvious, from the earliest experiments, that the Chloride was the proper remedy and preferable to pow ders, dentrifices, &c., of whatever kind or pre tension. By a chemical analysis, it will be found that the greater proportion of the Chlo rine Compounds so extensively in use, do not contain a particle of the Chloride of Soda, on the agency of which their efficacy must neces sarily depend. This article is confidently offered to the ex amination of the public, as possessing in an em inent degree the virtue of neutralizing all that is offensive in the mouth and breath, removing soreness and sponginess of the gums,destroying the taint of tobacco, or any other effluvia from whatever cause. In short, this preparation will be found to justify the various commenoaioiy notices and recommendations it has received. l£f=» Prepared and sold, wholesale and retail, by Rushton Aspinwall, No 81 William street, and 110 Broadway, and N.

SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,) Prepared by C. HERSTONS near Frederick town. Maryland. Richmond, Va- July 15, 18>0. THE public will be pleased to understand that I was sole proprietor of the paten, from September. 1817 until the expiration of the same, out, hav.ng connect ed myself with Dr. Judkins in the commencement. I permitted the Ointment to hear his name. 1 lie term of the patent having expired on the 26t June, I have made an improvement in the same, and taken out a pa tent thereon. _'u ,tT Imposition having been practised upon the nub lie by a spurious article, bearing the name of u. kins' Ointment,” the proprietor avails himself ot tne authority granted to him in his letters patent, now to call the Ointment ufter his own name, Henceforth it will be known by the name of SHEPHERD'S PATENT SPECIFIC OINT MENT, (formerly Judkins'.) When I first made and prepared this Ointment, and had, in several instances, experienced its good effects, I sent it to several physicians, with instructions in what cases to apply it, who were of opinion that the Oint ment would be a valuable public benefit. I concluded that the Ointment would occasionally fall into many hands, some of whom would probably undertake to make it, and knowing the difficulty of the process—ne vertheless. it might be progated in this adulterated si tuation, as it might in some degree resemble the origi nal—and in this way its good effects would he oblitera ted Under these considerations, I secured the origi nal and certain remedy for those obstinate diseases, some of which have so long baffle J the skih ot me dical science: 1st White swellings of every description* 2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing, 3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularlythose hardened tumors in women's breasts, which oftentimes terminate in ulceiated cancers* 4th Felons* or what some people know by thename of catarrhs, of every description. 5th Rheumatic pains ofthe joints* 6th Sprains and bruises of every description, or in whatever part situate* 7th Tetters of all kin Is. In this complaint the pa tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part outof water* 8th Chilblains or partsaffected bv frost. It is also one of the best remedies for burns and scalds. It eases the pain and draws the fire out in a short time.

Mr. C Herstons —I deem it proper to state, for the benefit of the public, that, several years since, two of my children were affected with scald head of an inve terate character. My family physician, Dr John T Wilson, of i.eesburg, Va. wiio was very skilful and ju dicious in his practice, in vain endeavored by every meins to effect a cure- At length Ju-ikins* Ointment was applied, and the affection was permanently reliev ed.

Sir—It has been iny wish, fora considerable time, to communicate to you the good effect with which 1 have used the Ointment invented by a Mr. Judkins, and which 1 now understand is made and sold by agents appointed bv yourself, I have applied this Ointment during the last three years to every species of tumor and wound, without failure to produce a cure in everv instance. I consider it the most decided and efficient remedy in all cases of tumor, be the^cause whatit may; and l have found nothing so good for wounds of any description It may be proper to add, that the cure of a tumor called white swelling, given over b\ the most distinguished physicians as in curable, and which they decided would, without ampu tation, prove iatalto the patient, was, under my imme haie notice, effected by the use of Judkins* Ointment, *nd the patient is in fine health. His limb affected by Lne tuinor oeing restored to a perfect state of sound- ness. Iso that the leg of an aged man which had been wounded, and exhibited one dreadfully ulcerated sur face from the knee to the foot, and which, for more than two years, had been considered incurable, w as ef fectually cured by the application of Judicins’ Unit- t ment.

JUST received, a fresh supply of the above useful j Medicine, direct from Dr. Lee’s Dispensary 12th mo 30th, 1833. W. STABLER. The following extract is published by Dr. Lee’s au thority, viz:— Extract of a letter, written by a very respectable gen tleman, residing in Baltimore, to the subscriber, who deems it his duty, though unauthorized, to lay it be* fore the public, withholding the writer’s name, for particular reference, should any require it person* SAM H. p. LEE. Baltimore, August, 1828. Doctor S. H. P. Lee, New London, Conn. Dear Sir—It is now upwards of twenty year9 that 1 have used your Mew London Bilious Bills in my fami ly, and always found them an efficient purgative in al most every description of disease, and believe they aa« ved many a long doctor’s bill by their early and timely use. I never found their accustomed certainty to vary in their operation and effects until a few months past; and having, since then, been sadly disappointed in eve ry instance of using them, I began to conclude that you had made your fortune, and abandoned their manufac ture to mercenary and unfaithful hands. Under this impression, I accidentally saw an advertisement of yours in a New Yorfc newspaper, designating spurious imitations from your own manufacture, by having your WRITTEN SIGNATURE to each bill of directions, and that in no instance were the imitations signed with pen and ink, although a perfect copy in every other respact Finding those l had without this test, I be gan to suspect that ‘J all was not fair in medicine, as well as in politics, and called at several of our apothe caries for your pills, with your written signature. 1 found many without this test, but none with it, until I came to the Messrs Keerls*, who assured me they had them direct from you. I procured a box, and on using them, found the same effects from them I had always experienced, and am so much rejoiced on finding my se*fin possession of a medicine I so highly prize, that that 1 cannot, injustice, refrain from giving you this information. To avoid the imposition of counterfeits and spu rious imitations, as related above, the purchaser has only to examine the bill of directions covering each box, and if signed at foot, in my own handwriting, im mediately under my printed name, they are genuine, and prepared by me; but if only the printed name "i9 affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided.

My case vs? as follows: Whilst returning fr >m Washington to Al#\ andria, I was taken very ill, which obliged me, on or, arrival, to retire suddenly to bed, but could not sleep, and the next day my throat became so much inflamed, that 1 could scarcely swallow; and my face, breast,»n«i body, presented evident symptoms of the great di ger I was m, and 1 knew' not what to do; Calomel c Mercury l abhorred as poison, and therefore desired no assistance from the Druggist; but my mother, vl. had experienced th»* good eflect of the Hygeiao Pi in a case or two of her own, most strenuously advised me to try their virtue, which, with reluctance, l con. sented to, and commenced by taking eight No 1 p;l at night, and eight No. 2 the next morning and cr' tinued taking, increasing daily, morning and evening, until I took sixteen No. 2 at a time, which werer,. solved in water, as, by means of my sore throat, I cou-: not otherwise swallow them. I confess the dose nr me feel somewhat qualmish, he but the pills and;’ powders, of which l took one or two tea*spoonsfu'l» day, operated well, and the final result was, that I fti nlo a smund sleep, of which 1 had been deprived, tr the next morning awoke in a state of perspiration,free, from fever, cool and comfortable, and my reason (fc* I had been deranged in mind) returned; and on t!* 9th day from the time was first taken, I left my ro«T and have ever since enjoyed better health than I c before.
