FREDERICKTON, Nov. 23.
On Wednesday last, fortnight, was arrested and committed to prison in this town a person of the name of Michael Bitzer, for having wantonly and unprovokedly impeded the progress of the mail stage between Baltimore and Frederick town, by driving his waggon cross-ways the road, and stopping his team in a narrow place, which rendered it impossible for the stage to pass. The punishment of this man we hope will serve as a caution to waggoners in future to conduct themselves with more propriety. The penalty for the offence is a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars.

They are also found very useful to carry off worms, and to cure ricketty children, and may be used with safety in all constitutions, ages and sexes.
The many cures that have been effected in New England, by the above medicine (as may be seen in the bills) prevent the necessity of further recommendation.
