ELECTRIC SEARCH FOR TREASURE.

To the systematic treasure-seeker, a hopeful prospect is opened out by an electrical achievement lately reported from the Un'ted States. It vrould appear that during the summer of 1843 the schooner Vermilion, laden with copper bars, foundered hr Lake Erie during a heavy gale of wind. Her cargo was a valuable one (worth 60,OOOdols), and its owners spared no pains or expense to recover it, but in vain. The Yernr'ion had gone down in the deepest pa”t of the lake and after several fruitless attempts to dis cover her whereabouts, the search was abandoned as hopeless. Thirty-eight years had elapsed since her loss when an Erie boat, provided with an electrical apparatus for tho detection of metal substances, was cruising about Lake Erie one fine morning. Suddenly the person in charge of the machine observed unmistakeable indications denoting the presence of metal beneath the surface of the water over which the boat was at that time passing. The bearings of the spot were at once taken, and on the 3rd of last month a couple of divers were conveyed thither and lowered into the lake. They alighted on the deck of the submerged schooner, and succeeded in penetrating into its hold, whence they extracted and brought to the surface one of the long-missing copper bars. The entire cargo has sultfe been recovered. After his successful feat who can doubt that it is ©served -to electricity to solve all the old standing mysteries of sunken Spanish and Dutch galleons, British treasure-ships, as it prratical hoards that have defied mere human ingenuity and perseverance for so many years past.

Holloway’s Pills.— Nervous Debility.—No part of the human machine requires more watching than the nervous system —upon it hangs health and life itself. These pills are the best regulators and strengtheners of the nerves, and the Safest general purifiers. Nausea headache, giddiness, numbness, and mental apathy yeild to them. They dispatch in a summary manner those distressing dyspeptic symtoms, stoma.'hie pains, fulness at the pit of the stomach, abdoir'nal distension, and overcome both capricious appetites and confined bowels —the commonly accompanying signs of defective or derangod nervous power, Holloways pills are peliculavly recommended to persons of studious and sedentary habits, who gradually sink into a nervous and debilitated state, unless some such_vcstorative be occasionally taken.
