To Genlialleck,Commander-in- Chief: I have 'the honour to report that this post was assailed by a large force of Sioux Indians, on the 13th inst. A small rem- nant of a company of the 5th Regiment of Union Volunteers, and the Benville ll ali- gers, a company justvorganized for one of the Regiments of this State, were the only troops I had under my command for its defence, and nobly did they do their duty. Finding that they could not effect a lodgement which was prevented in a great measure by the superior force of the artilâ€" lery, under the immediate charge of Ord- nance Sergeant J. Jones, U. S. A.,wiiich cominpelled them to evacuate the ravines by which this post-is surrounded, they Willi-- drew their forces and the gallant little garrison rested on their arms ready for any attack during the night. Several people, remnants of once thriv- ing families, arrrived at the post in the most miserable condition, some wounded and severely burned, having made their escape from their dwellings which had been firedby the Indians. The people in the immediate vicinity fled to this past, and Were organized and arm- ed, as far as practicable, to aid in its de- fence. On the 22nd inst.. the Indians returned with a much larger force and attacked us on all sides, but the most determined at- tacks were on the cast and west corners of the fort, which were in the vicinity of ravines. The west corner was also covered by stables and log buildings, which afforded the Indians great protection, and in order to protect the garrison, I ordered them to be destroyed. The halls fell thick over andthrough the wooden buildings erected for officers’ quarters, still the men main~ tained their ground. The Indians then prepared to carry the at 11 O’clock ,his post by storm, but the gallant conduct of the men at the guns paralysed them,-â€"and compelled them to withdraw after one of the most determined attacks made by Ind- ians on a military post. Our small arm ammunition nearly failed. All the buildings composing the garri- son proper are still up, but they are very much wrecked. All the out-buildings, exoep't the guard- house and magazmespvcre entirely destroy- ed. Most of the mules and oxen belonging to the Quarter Master’s Department were leftwith a scanty supply of transportation. I adopted every possible means in my powerfor deence, by erecting barricades, covering the store houses Willi earth to guard against the from the arrows which were thrown, with the determination to make a complete sacrifice of everything but the men’s quarters and storehouse, which were stone buildings, and were saved. [Signet] .. r T. I. SHERMAN, lst- Lieut. Col. 5th. Regiment, Minnesota Volunteers. Washington, Sept. 16.-â€"â€"Harper’r Ferry was Surrendercd to the rebels at 10 o’clock yesterday, after Col. Miles had been seve- rely, if not fatally, wounded. The oflicers and men, supposed to be about 8,000 strong, were paroled. The following is from a special to the American, from Frederick:â€"The com. bined forces of Loring and Jackson stormed the works at llarper’s Ferry yesterday morning, and captured the posi- tlon. Miles is said to have made a despe- rate resistance. Accounts differ. Some say he. ivas wounded after he hoisted the white flag. Other accounts are that he was killed or fatally wounded before the surrender. All our forces were paroled, numbering 6,000, some of whom have arrived at Frederick. When the paroled men left the enemy was preparing to blow up the three spans of the iron bridge. ’teports Were circulated today in Frederick that McClellan had. rc-taken Harper’s Flirry, but they were not deemed reliable. Frederick, Sept. 16.â€"â€"I regret to have to announce the surrender of Harper’s Ferry with all the forces and stores there to the enemy. at nine o’clock on Monday morning. Enlisted men and some officers have been paroled and arrived here. From them I gather the following particulars: Therebels commenced the attack on Fri- day, noon, on our forces on Maryland Heights. Skirinisliing continued throughâ€" out the day,nnd was renewod on Saturday. The enemy was driven back with considerâ€" able loss. They came up several times and were repulsed. When it was discov- ered that they were approaching in over» whelming force, the order was given to spike the guns and throw them dOWn the mountain. The whole force from the I'Ieights then returned in safety, the guns from Camp Hill shelling the enemy when they attempted to pursue our retreating men. On Sunday morning a party of our men again ascended the Heights and brought away their field pieces which they had left unspiked. Sunday at noon the rebels appeared in great force on London Heights. Miles shelled them from point to point. Some of their guns were dis- lodged, but they still managed to keep up a brisk fire from some of their batteries which were run back out of sightand, loaded. The cannonading was kept up all day Sunday without doing much da- mage. The firing ceased at dusk on Sun- day evening and was resumed again Mou- day morning at daylight, and kept up till nine o'cbck, when l‘vliles ordered the white flag to be raised; there was considerable fog and smoke, and the enemy did not see the flag or Would not see it, and kept up a heavy fire for three quarters of an hour. About ten minutes after the flag was up, a shell struck Jol. Miles, shattering his right leg. It was amputated before the prisoners were paroled. There were about 2,300 cavalry in the command, all of whom but about 40 escaped about eight o’clock on Sunday night, and cut their way through to Grecncastle with but little loss. The balance of the troops, numbering from li,000 to 8,000, with Gen. \Vhite’s con) mand from Martinsburg, were all surroun- dcd. Gen.

Curtin, states that the battle at Sharpsburg recommenced early this morning with the greatest fury up to 9 4.45 A.M_ ' Our latest adVices from Harrisburg say that the State troops are pushing forward to the border. The Bulletin has the following des- patch '.â€"â€"â€" At Ilagerstown this morning heavy firing was constantly heard in the direction of Sharpsburg, but no definite information from that quarter had been received. It is supposed that the rebels are making a most desperate push to reach VVilliams- port, and get across the Potomac. A Union scout who left the battle field morning, has reached lIagerstow... He reports that the fighting has been perfectly terrific. The rebels have been desperately hard pressed by our army. . Frederick, Sept. 16.-â€"After the bat- tles of South Mountain Gap and Burkitts- ville Gap, fought respectively by the forces of Burnside and Franklin, on Sunday, the enemy having been driven from their posi- tion, fell back rapidly to Boonsbm'o, and thence southward to Sharpcsburg, and began crossing the Potomac above and nelow Shepardstown. The pursuit by our troops was rapid, Hooker following by way of Boonsboro. suliported by Sumner and Banks, and cap- turing 1,000 prisoners during the morning. The enemy bi‘eakfasted at Keedysville,‘ three miles from Boonsboro, but our cavalâ€" ry soon drove their rear guard from that place. Porter’s and Reno’s corps took ashorter road over the mountain, and arrived at Sharpesburg at sundown, capturing hun- dreds of prisoners on the way. Franklin‘s corps, supported by Coucli‘s division passed through Burkittsville Gap, which he captured so handsomely, striking the road leading direct from Boonsboro to llarper‘s Ferry, and thence moving in the direction of the latter place, gaining Elk- ridge Mountain, which flanked the enemy‘s position, and brought them within good range of our artillery. Franklin‘s corps fought a brilliant battle on Sunday evening at Rickittstille Gap. The enemy was terribly repulsed, though the great advanlages of‘pcsilion were with them. ...; DISTRESSINC SUICIDn.â€"'â€"Yesterday afternoon, the body of a female was observ- ed floating in the bay, a short distance out from Bees’ wharf. A boat was procured and the body brought on shore, when it was proved to be the body ofa young wo- man, respectably dressed, and about twentyvthree years of age. The remains were conveyed to the dead house, City Hall, and .‘a partial examination made of the body, but no marks of violence could be fnund on it. In the afternoon, the body was identifi:d as that of Miss Mary Ann Gallaghemcsiding on West Wilson-street. It is stated that she had a quarrel with her sister on the afternoon of Thursday last, and suddenly left the house,and it is fear- ed that she went down to the bay and drowned herself. She was never after- wards scen alive. The inquest will be held this afternoon by Coroner llallowel. â€"â€"Globe of Thursday.

It is plain, independent, straightforward, and e‘xpiicxt. There is no ambi- guity in its expressions; no uncer- tainty as to its precise meaning.â€" lle fearlessly denounces what he believes to be wrong, without waiting to consider whether it will please this man, or offend that.â€" l-le does not hesitate to condemn the political course of the party now in power, and the total disre- gard of principle and political in- tegrity, by which they obtained office. What a contrast is this to the course pursued by his opponent. Mr. McMaster. in the whole. course of his address, does not venture to make a single reference to the con- duct of the present ministry; but instead of doing so travels off to the North-west territmy, which he would expend the public money in opening up, while we have abund- ance of land much nearer home, not yet settled. He has not the courage openly to express his views on the ministerial policy of the day, lest he should give offence, and incur opposition. l-Ie dares not condemn the present administration because he has always worked and voted with the Clear Grit party; and he dares not promise them sup- port because he well knows that if he did, he would not get. a dozen votes in South Simcoe. Hence the determination to say nothing at all about the matter. It is no doubt a very clever device to en- trap the electors, but clever as it is, we think it will have little chance of succeeding. It is well known that Mr. Mc- Mastcr is a warm supporter of the present ministry, although afraid to avow it. He, professes to favor Representation by, Populatlon just as the Upper Canada portion of this ministrydid before their elec- tion, and while in the ranks of the opposition. But as soon as the seats of office glittercd in View, they all at once forgot their former professions, deserted the platform on which they had been elected, and betrayed the trust rcposed in them by their own party. Ile pie- tends to advocate equality of repre- sentation, but has not the moral courage to oppose the men that re- fuse to make it a part of their poâ€" licy. If he supporls the party that has so outrageously disregarded its most solemn pledges in respect to a question of the most vital import- ance to Upper Canada, is there not every reason to believe that he will act in a similar manner himself?â€" He now promises precisely what they did in order to secure their elections, and what they so readily forgot when they were in a position to perform what they had promised. Will the Midland Electors choose as a representative at man who dare not publish his real sentiments lest he should give offence, and who merely professes to favor certain measures on which all parties are agreed? Or will they support a man whose political career is a suf- ficient guarantee that he will not betray his trust, and who is not afraid to denounce the men who have proven themselves unworthy of confidence, and recreant to their most solemn engagements? We feel convinced that the triumphant return of Mr. Gamble will be the reply. We some time ago indicated Mr. Gamble’s claims on the electors by virtue of the noble and consistent stand he has always when in sup- port of our present school system ; and his constant opposition to the further exlensiou of Separate Schools. Some of his enemies re- cently attempted to injure him by asserting, although without a sha- dow of proof, that he had changed his views on this question. A per- usal of his address, however, will set that matter at rest, and show to what lengths his opponents will go in the way of pure fabrications, for the purpose of defeating him. He has always been consistent and fearless in his support of our schools,strcnuously defending them in the meetings of the Anglican- even when such defence l V only to a large number off-the clergy bf his own church, but also to many of his warmest political friends. past, how: the people not amp 'guaranlcc that he will, carry out his promises to the best of his ability ?’ ' ’ Ifthe Conservatives of the Divi- ...â€"......

Such was the 'utlerance of the Ncwmarket Era, of the 22nd ult. We are at a loss to know who en- abled the Editor of the Erato un- derstand that Mr. Gamble did not intend to issue an address. Did Mr. Gamble say so? No such thing. This was only one of the numerous coinages that have re- cently issued from hjs own prolific brain, in reference to election mat- ters. But Mr. Gamble has issued an address, in which he openly, frankly, and manfully declares his principles, and also freely expresses his opinion of the present adminis- lraiion, which Mr. ll’IcMaslcr was afraid to do. Notwithstanding the complele change that has recently taken place in the personnel of the Government ; although an entire new i’ninislry has assumed the reins of power, Mr. Mch’laster dared not state in his address, whether he would support them or not. We may well ask in the language of the Em “ what does this lemcrily im- plv ?” Instead of the words which head these remarks, the editor of that paper may take the following as a text for- bis next lucubrations : “ Where is McMaster’s opinion of the present ministry ?” and his own words Will serve as the most truth- ful reply; for, on that subject, “ lie dare not” issue a declaration of his principles.” ' DO4 Our Post Office; FOR the past twelve months this locality has been highly favored by the facilities-afforded by the Post Office Department for the transmis~ sion of the correspondence of the business community. We have two mails daily from Toronto, one at 9 A.M., and the other at 9 P.M., thus giving advantages that few small towns in the Province enjoy. By this arrangement a letter can be mailed in Toronto at 3 P.M., and be in the hands of the party it is addressed to at 9 P.M. ; and, if im- portant, and answer can be had in Toronto next morning at 11 A.M., thus aflording communication with the capital sooner than if sent by a express messenger. The same with the mail for Barrie, Culling- wood, 8w. Alettcr can be mailed for any place along the Northern Railroad at7 A‘.M., and be at its destination in two or three hours, and an answer received back the same night. For these conveni- ences we have to thank the Post Office Inspector, Mr. Dcwe, and we hope it will be long before he finds it to the inlerest of the De- partment to change it to the for- mer system of only a morning mail. f '04 The Exhibition Week. Our neighbors, the good citiZens of Toronto, are in exlacies in anticipation of enjoyinga gala timeuext week.

The hotel keepers have deci- (led not to..raise their scale of charges, so that strangers ncednot fear being imposed upon. Altogether a pleasant time is an- ticipated. N4” Lecture. WE feel pleased in being able to, inform our readers, that Mr. THOS. BAT'I‘Y CONOLLY, whose reputation both as a finished Elocutionist and lecturer, has been deservedly sus- tained by the leading journals throughout the Province, will do- livcr a lecture in this Village on Friday evening next. the 191i] inst., in Dr. Langsla-if's' New Temper- ance Hall.

D. McGinn, Esq., on the town~line between York and Scar- The ‘day was all that could be dle of the day on the dusty road; yet, in the- grove there was a cool, refreshing breeZe rustling among. the leaves of the forest. The hour advertised for proceed- ings to commence was 12 o‘clock, but long before that time an observer might hare seen the farmers with their wives and children in their buggies and waggons; the young men 'of York and Scarboro’ with their sweethearts all wending their way to one common centre with pleasant smiles on their faces, and seemingly de-' termined to drive away dull care if only for one day', and enjoy themselvoes. Shortly after 12 o’clock a processmn was formed under the master-ship of Mr. W'. W. Milne, SBHI‘.'â€"IFII‘SI, the Sharon brass band, next, Mount Meldrum and Highland Creek Uivismns, under their respective banners, followed up by the llarvest Home Division under their splendid new banner which they displayed for lhclirst time; but the most pleasing part was yet to come. Upwards of one hundred scii0ol children in holiday attire, walking two and two under the superindendcncc of their respective teachers, i-‘iz. :vd'lessrs. Fitz- patrick, Miller, Ellison. and Miss Kilpat- rick closed the procession. After walking about a mile the word was given “ righl about face,” when they returned to lhe grove and partook of something to strengthen the body after their walk. 'l‘lle’ people having satisfied the cravings of appetite, were shortly afteriv.irds seat- ed ; when in the absence of Amos Wright. Esq., l\’l.P.I-’., who was expected to act as Chairman but was unavoidably detained, Mr. McConnell was called to the Chair, who, after liavrng made. a few pointed re- marks on the subject of temyerance of the present day and that of a dozen years ago,’ who spoke on the evils of inlelnperance in our midst, and calling on all, old and young, to sign the pledge and abstain from that abominable thing which degrades and de- rnoralizes the man and sinks him lower than lhe brute. After music from the band, the Chairman called upon Mr. Mor- phy, of Toronto, who is well known among the friends of temperance for his wit and humour, after which came Alderman Na smith, followed upr Rev. MrfiNattress, of Marklain, who delivered an excellent address. Colour-Sergeant Dalgelta, of the 30th Hugh, and President of the Soldier’s 'l‘elnperai‘lce Society, being called on, after a few preliminary remarks stated that the soldiers’ had more tempta- lion, than the generality of mankind, to become drunkards, as they are far away from their friends and no one to care for them in parlicular. He stated that the calfse of temperance was first started in Her Majesty’s troops in India, at the late rebellion. He mentioned an incident that happened while the troops were stationed tnere, which proves conclusively lliat spiri- tuous liquors- are not necessary for the health of soldiers on the march. Two companies received orders to march im. modiately: in the hurry and confusion one of the companies forgot their canteens containing their allowance of liquor, the other got a double quantity; cacli reached their destination; but what was the reâ€" sult? The men who had received double quantity arrived five days later than those who had no spirits With their ambulance, full and nut fit for duty, while in the other company there was not. one sick man. The Sergeant stated that out of the 30th tcgt. upwards of 500 of them at the pre- sent time were total abstainers, their num- ber constantly increasing, and all brought about in less than one year. He also mentioned that 90 out of 100 of the crimes which were committed by the sol dirrs’ were caused by imbibing too freely of spirituous liquors; for instance the soldiers found on board the City of Madlsmz were filled drunk and taken on board. The Sergeant remarks to a close by saying, as the soldier should stand to his colours on the battle field, so temperâ€" ance men'sliould never desert tlieirrcolours, but light away manfully, and that they would be. sure to come out coiiquerors. Band, " Bould Soger Boy.” The Chair- man then called on Rev. Mr. Garner, of ad on Itev. D. Fletcher, of Scarboro’, ,Scarboro’.who spoke for a short tilne,‘ after which the thanks of the meeting were given to the several Divisions who attended, the several speakers, and to the Sharon band, which deserves the greatest credit for the very eflicient manner in which they discharged their duties. The band having played “ God Save the Queen,” the proceedings terminated, and the large concourse of people separated, (there being upwards of 500 present) all exceedingly well pleased, particularly the children, and no doubt edified. M. "-1 Teachers’ Examination. 'â€" ’ (To the Editor of the York Herald.) SIR,â€"-â€"â€"I notice that a Kingi‘ Teacher’ has come out in your last issue to correct, as he professes, statements made by me in my former letter on Teachers’ Examina- tions. I have read the communication carefully, but cannot divine what his ob- ject was in writing it. As he has not ‘ c0rrected ’ my statements, the only rea- son [can give for his appearing in print is this: alter reading my letter he was seized With an itching to write for the newspaper; he knew he could not refute , what 1 said, but that was nothing; he ’ w would see his composition blaioned ip print. Let us examine what this wise- acre says; ‘ I was a specta’t‘or,’ therefore ‘I had a. good opportunity of observing w’hattook place.’ Very good, indeed i:â€" It is a pity he did not make better use‘ of his ‘ good opportunity.’ The King ‘ Teacher’ will admit that the examiner's hid asfgood an opportunity of seeing what took place as he had. How is it then, that they do not iiquys detect teachers copying and using text books? The King teacher must be an extraordinary man. _His visual organs must be wonder- fully developed. He knows exactly what transpired; and in order to find it out it is not necessary for him to ask persons who would be likely to know. No; he himself Wash ~spectator;’ he had some mysterious way of ascertaining what was passing-among the teachers, of hearing. every word spoken between them! A petition ought to he got up at once, pray- ing the County Council to appoint him a member of the Board of Education.â€" He would be worth all the others put together. . . The King ‘ Teacher ’ actually admits that he does not know whether my state- ments were true or not.” He says he was only a ‘spectator.’ He does not bring forward one single factor argument to inâ€" validate ‘anything I‘ said. On the con- trary, l am ready toprove what I said by the testimony of pcrstms who Were there. The public will know how much reliance to place upon the 53936 dizzt of the King ‘Teacher.’ He is mean enough to say that I am actuated by selfish motives in bringing this subject before the publicâ€"â€" that my strictures open the examination proceed from disappointed hopes or wounded ambition. Supposmg I were dealt hardly with by the llichmond Hill Board, would any sane inan believe that this would be the course I would take to be ‘revenged upon them ?’ Evidently his knowledge of human nature 15 very small If it will be any satisfaction to him I may tell him that I was not before the Richmond Hill Board for examination, and therefore could have no resentment to gratify. l\"loreover he ought to know that the certificates were not issued when l wrole my letler. I’lis stupidity is only equalled by his meanness. The King ‘ Teacher ’ admits that there is copying at exaniinalions. He says a member of the Toronto Board got a cer- tificate by copying. I think he must have said this unconsciously, for he does not in any other part of his letter enter- tiin for a moment llic thought that there i; copying at those places. Ilc thinks that if I were a member of the Board, I would conduct the examinations very stringently. I assure him I. would: and iflie came before me for examinalion I would not give him many marks for com- mon sense or elegant diction. The King ‘,'I'eachrr’ says that ‘he is fully satisfied (and knows from. experl once) that the Board of Examiners at the Hill has never licensed and never will license any. one as teacher who is unworthy.’ The italics are mine.â€" Wonderful experience! How does he know thatthe Richmond Hill Board never licensin' an ‘unwOrtby normal.â€" How did he ascertain- this fact? To say that the BichmOnd I’Iill Board or any other Board never licensed an unworthy person. is a 'bold and unwarranlable asserâ€" tion. The teachers’ profession must be purer than all other professions if there are no unworthy persons in it. The ini- nistry of the gospel is not pureâ€"its. saâ€" cred things are often desecrated by no worth hands. Every person who keeps his eyes and ears open knows that there are unworthy and incompetent persons licensed to teach. I take this opportunity of telling the examiners of another undue advantage placed within the reach of candidates.â€" Suppose a candidate to get a geography paper ten or fifteen minutes before he is dismissed for dinner. I’Ie reads the pa- pers carefully, but perhaps is not able to answer half ofthe questions. He then goes to the hotel and procures a geography. \Vlien he returns to his work he'is able to answer all of them. Now it cannot be said that this is anSWering the ques- tions faiily. Is not the very object of the examination defeated here’.l I. as a teacher, am compelled to attend the examinations, and can, if I choose, avail myself of those unfair means placizd within my reach; but as I do not desire to defeat their object, ‘ I want to see everv candidate stand upon his own unassisted abilities and attainments.’ I think this is the desire of every teacher who feels proud of his profession, and who fully appreciates and understands the important and responsible duties connected with it. I would suggest that no teacher be per- mitted to leave his place until he has fin- ished his paper. I. would also suggest that the examination in geometry be eitner conducted on the black-board, or that that paper he the last given to ALL the teachers. The reason for this suggestion is obvmus. ’I have not come out in the Herald to censure the conduct of the members of the Richmond Hill Board.â€" Ibelieve that Board to be composed of men of ability and a high sense of honor andlduty. I must believe that they did not know that such inroads were made upon their powers. In bringing the mat- ter before them in the mannerl havo done, I think I have done no more than 1..” - .. 4m -", my duty, and I am sure that neither the Board nor the large body of sensible and competent teachers who attended the ex amination will question my motives or censure my conduct.

Headache. &c‘.§" are constantly dos- ing' themselves with Pills, Sgiidlstz Water, Salts, &c., without deriving any lastingbeuofit. .Now, the fact is, all that these purgativesfdcdomplish, is to evacuate from the bowels the water sole- ment from the blood, No permanent rats? is obtained: the Headache continues, from the fact that the bile is still left circulating lit-tho blood, causing Congestion, Dizzine.s, &c. The bowels continue costive. the evacuations being caused by the dl'ast,ic,,opei'ations only. If you would avoid, rhesodi‘fliculties, take ltA DWAY’S REGULATING PILLS ', they will operate on the Liver. and will eliminate from the blood all its impurities. and will ‘pulge from the sys- tem all morbid and corrupthurnors. ’Ono eva- cuation from the bowels, by RADWAY’S PILLS, will drive out more diseased humors from the system, than a dozen discharges of the DrasticPills, Suits, and Seidlitz Water. It is this .Drastic I’urgalion that occasions so much weakness. ' You suffer the 'pain and annoyance of Dras- tic discharges. and fail to expel the Bile and Humors still left in the blood and system to multiply diseases. RADWAY’S'REGULA- TING PILLS are the only true purgati‘ves to use; no matter how Week the patient inay be : a dose of these Pills will give strength, because in their operation they purge from the system the humor: and bllu, and hence they cleanse and purin the circulation.

These batteries have already rocolVed counte- nance from profossionahgonllemon in Canada of the highest eminence. When the season comes around, tlle,l)octor will deliver a course of lectures. in Elora, on this new and import- ant science.” (From the Durham Standard.) “Dr, PALMER, of-London. Canada V‘v’est. re- cently paid a visit to this town for the purpose of introducing his new and beautiful system of treating and diagnosing disease in the human system. The principle involved in this new medical practice must recommend it to every intelligent mind. The writer can testify to its renovating effects.” From Ilfr. THOMAS JOHN HAYES, Resident Medical Officer, Toronto General Hospital. “ I have tried Mr. 1’Al.nii;u’s Pocket Voltaic Battery on several patients, with the consent of the respective medical officers inlorestod in the cases. and must say that tho relicfafâ€" fordod Was in most instances very satisfactory. ",Afcnialo patient was brought from the police station yesterday, in a state of high ner- vous excitement. I requested llli‘. Palmer, who was then in the hospital, to try his bat- tery, which he did with most extraordinary success. The patient became perfectly calm within a period of five minutes, and in loss than fifteen minutes was in a quiet sleep, which lasted for nearly nine hours, without any depressing effect on’ the sysleln. This woman was not under the influence of alcohol at all. Ibelieve lior excitement is caused by some domestic affliction. From wliatl have seen I believe Mr. Paln‘ier’s invention will prove a very valuable aid in practice.” From Roar. CRAIK. M.D.,Attmul,£ng Physician Montreal General Hospital. “1 have had the pleasure in observing the effect of electricity. as applied by means of Mr. Palmer's Pocket Battery, in several painful diseases, and have no hesitation in declaring the beneficial effect to be more rapid and com- plete than after any of the methods formerly in use. I give in ilfustration the following case :â€" “ Ilarriet l’eppor, a patient in tho Monti-ca General Hospital, had been suffering from severe muscular pain in the right shoulder and arm, to such an extent as to render even slight movement intolerable. By the use of the Battery she was able in less than five minutes to move the arm freely above her head, and to dress herself without assistance, After the lapse of 48 hours the pain had not returned.” September 15, 1852.
