Hew Versions of the Bible.
In this country and also in England,
mw versions of the Bible are now in the
coarse of publication. The “ American
Bible Union ” has a revised edition of
the Scriptures in press, which is exciting
groat attention. Speoimens of the plan
adapted in this revision have been sent
to England, and we notice that the plan
of the work is highly commended by
ao«e of the ablest and best critics. The
laat number of the London Literary
Joornal, after stating that the American
Mltsion “ appears to be dictated by a
sound judgment,” adds that, “ While
oW trans-Atlantic friends are thus lauda
bly engaged in the work of anew ver
sion, a publication somewhat akin to it
is favorably progressing here. This is :
“(he English Bible : containing the
OH and New Testaments, according to
the authorized Version; newly divided
iuto Paragraphs; with concise Introduc
tions to the several Books, and with
ilMps and Notes illustrative of the Chron
ology, History, and Geogrophy of the
Holy Scriptures; containing also the
most remarkable Variations of the An
cient Versions, and the chief results of
modern Criticism.” It says, “ the divis
ions into sections ami paragraphs, instead
of the old one of chapters and verses,
3a calculated materially to assist the stu
dontof Holy Writ, while the notes are
judicious and concise, and the typogra
phy excellent. —Boston Transcript.
Thk Mulb Market. —A correspond
ent of the Louisville Courier, writing

Baptist State Convention. —We
learn from the Journal that the annu
al session of the Georgia Baptist State
Convention for tlie current year, will be
held in this city near the end of the ea
rning month (April.) The President
and Directors of the Central road have
mi a spirit of commendable liberality,
in response to an application in that be
half, determined to allow Delegates to
pass over their road for one fare to Sa
vannah, and free back.— Sav. Georgian.
Poor Man’s Apostrophe to Con
tint. —“ Oh ! content, that to the cap
tive maketh his chains as light as feath
er*; that to the pilgrim boileth the peas
in his shoes; that to the maid of all
work levelcth five pairs of stairs to the
height of one ; that to the wife, sitting
up for her husband, giveth wings to the
clock as during the days of courtship;
that to the school-boy softeneth the rod
with flowers; that to the policeman,
toiling on his beat, garlandeth the area
railings with yards of blooming sausages
and ropes of the duck suggestive onions
—grant that I may learn to pay my
doable income tax with pleasure, deriv
ing comfort and consolation from the
thought that I am helping, with my
contribution, to giv* that cantankerous,
obstroperous old Russian bear a jolly
good thrashing !”—English paper.
A Rough Brd-fellow. — There is a
good story going the rounds of the pa
pers, told of a man in Arkansas, who
had been drinking till a late hour at
oigl it, and then started for home in a
state of sweet obliviouiness. Upon
reaching his own premises he was too
far gone to discover any door to the
domicile he was about to inhabit, and
therefore laid himself down in a shed
which was the favorite rendezvous for
the hogs. They happened to be out
wsen the new comer arrived, but soon
returned to their bed. The weather be
ing rather cold, they in the utmost kind
ness and with the truest hospitality, gave
fthier bipeb companion the middle of the
bed, some lying on either side of him,
«od others acting the part of a quilt.—
(heir warmth prevented him being in
loved by exposure. Towards morning
he awoke. Finding himself comfortable,
jinblisafel ignorance of his whereabouts,
(|ic supposed himself enjoying the accom

HoLLo'ttAt’s Ointment and Pills.—
Wonderful Remedies for the Cure of Scalds and
Burns.—Emelia Anderson, of Newport, Rhode
Island, was accidentally severely scalded by
some boiling water falling over her. The whole
of the right side and leg in particular was in a
most shocking state. Something in the hurry of
the moment Was applied, which caused the flesh
to peel off almost to the bone, and rendered her
utterly unable to move, she was carried to bed,
medical assistance called in, and her recovery
despaired of; it so happened, that a friend who
paid a visit that day, had just been cured of a
dreadfully bad leg by Holloway’s Ointment and
Pills, and she recommended the same, the Pills
and Ointment were accordingly bought and
used, by continuing them for two weeks, she was
perfectly well, and has written most gratefully to
Professor Holloway for the cure effected.
tar Those who have used Profcssof
Wood’s Hair Restorative are sufficiently cogni
zant of its excellent qualities, but others may not
be aware that it is no ordinary article. It was
discovered by Professor Wood, an able chemist
and professor of that science, while experiment
ing to find a remedy for the change and falling
out of his own hair. Its wonderful effects in his
own case and that of some private friends, and
their urgent requests, induced him to offer it to
the public. —Baltimore Dispatch.

Are Curing the Sick to an extent never
before known ofany Medicine.
Invalids, Rend and Judge for Yourselves.
JULES lIAUEL, Esq., the well known perfumer
ol Chestnut street, Philadelphia, whose choice
products are found at almost every toilet, says:
“ I am happy to say of your Cathartic Pills,
that I have iound them a better family medicine
for common use, than any other within my
knowledge. Many of my friends have realized
marked benefits from them and coincide with
me in believing that they possess extraordinary
virtues for driving out diseases and curing the
sick. They are not only effectual but safe and
pleasant to be taken, qualities which must make
them valued by the public, when they are
known.*
The venerable Chancellor Wardlaw, writes from
Baltimore, 15th April, 1854:
“ Dr. J. C. Aykr—Sir: I have taken your Pills
with great benefit, for the listlessness,’ languor,
loss of uppetite, and Billious headache, which has
of late years overtaken me in the spring. A few
doses of your Pills cured me. I have used your
Cherry Pectoral many years in my family for
coughs and colds with dnfailing success. You
make medicines which cure, and l feel it u pleas
ure to commend you tor the good you have done
and are doing.”
John F. Beatty, Esq., Sec. of the Penn. Railroad
Cos., says:
u /\i. R. R. Office, Philadelphia, Dec. 13.1853.
“Sir I take pleasure in adding my testimony
to the efficacy of your medicines, having derived
very material benefit from the use of both your
Pectoral and Cathartic Pills. lam never with
out them in my family, nor shall I ever consent
to be, while ray means will procure them.”
The widely renowned S. S. Stevens, M. I), of
Wentworth, N. 11., writes:
“ Having used your Cathartic Pills in my prac
tice, I certify from experience, that they are an
invaluable purgative. In rases of disordered
functions of the liver, causing headache, indiges
tion, costiveness, and the great variety of disea
ses that follow, they are a surer remedy than any
other. In all cases where a purgative remedy i*s
required, I confidently recommend these Pills to
the public, as superior to any other I have ever
found. They are sure in their operation, and
perfectly safe, qualities which make them an in
valuable article for public use. I have for many
years known your Cherry Pectoral as the best
Cough medicine iu the world, and these Pills are
in no wise inferior to that udmirablc preparation
for the treatment of diseases.”
“Acton, Me., Abo. 25. 1853.
“Dr. J. C. Aykr— Dear Sir: I have been af
flicted from my birth with scrofula in its worst
form, and now, after twenty years’ trial, and an
unfold of amount of suffering, have been com
pletely cured in a few weeks by your Pills. With
what feelings of rejoiciug 1 write, can only be
imagined when you realize wh.it I have suffered
and how long.
“ Never until now ha**e I been free from this
loathsome disease in some shape. At times it
attacked my eyes, aud made me almost blind,
besides the unendurable puin ; at others it settled
in the scalp of iny head, and has kept me partly
bald all my days; sometimes it came out in my
face, and Kept it for months a raw sore.
‘‘About nine weeks ago I commenced taking
your Cathartic Pills, and now am entirely free
from the complaint. My eyes are well, my skin
is fair, and mv hair has commenced a healthy
growth; all of which makes mo feel already a
new person.
“ Hoping this statement may be the means of
conveying information that shall do good to oth
ers, lam, with every sentiment of gratitude,
Yours, Ac.,
MARIA RICKER.”
“ I have known the above named Maria Ricker
from her childhood, and her statement is strictly
true. ANDREW J. MESERVE,
Overseer of the Portsmouth Manuf g. Cos. *
Capt. Joel Pratt, of the ship Marion, writes from
Boston, 20th April, 1854.
“ Your Pills have cured me from a billious at
tack which arose from derangement of the Liver,
which had become very serious. I had failed of
any relief by my Physician, and from every rem
edy I could try, but a few doses of your Pills
have completely restored me to health. I have
given them to my children for worms, with the
best effects. They were promptly cured. I re
commended them to a friend for costiveness,
which hud troubled him for months; he told me
in a few days they had cured him. You make
the best medicine in the world, and I am free to
say so.”
Read this from the distinguished Solicitor of the
Supreme Court, whose brilliant abilities have
made him well known, not only in this, but the
neighboriug States.
“New Orleans, s th April, 1854:
“ Sir: I have great satisfaction in assuring you
that myself and family have been very much ben
efited by your medicines. My wife was cured
two years since, of a severe and’dangerous cough,
by your Cherry Pectoral, and since then has en
joyed perfect health. My children have several
times been cured from attacks of the Influenza
and Croup by it. It is an invaluable remedy for
these complaints. Your Cathartic Pills have en
tirely cured me from a dyspepsia and costiveness
which has grown upon me for some years,—in
deed this cure is much more important from the
fact that I had failed to get relief from the best
Physicians which this section of the country af
fords, and from any of the numerous remedies I
had taken.
“ You seem to us. Doctor, like a providential
blessing to our family, and you may well suppose
we are not unmindful of it.
Yours respectfully,
LEAVITT THAXTER.”
“Senate Chamber, Ohio. April sth 1854.
“ Dr. J. C. Aykr—Honored Sir : I have made a
thorough trial of the Cathartic Pills, left me by
your agent, and have been cured by them of the
dreadful rheumatism .under which be found me
suffering. The first dose relieved me, and a few
subsequent doses have entirely removed the dis
ease. I feel in better health now than for some
years before, which I attribute entirely to the ef
fects of your Cathartic Pills.
Yours with great respect,
LUCIUS B. METCALF.”

make these statements without a thorough con
viction that they were true.

PROFESSOR WOOD'S HAIR RESTORA
TIVE, is, no doubt, the most wonderful dis
covery of this age of progress, for it Will restore,
permanently, gray hair to Its original color, covet
the head of the bald with a most luxuriant growth
remove at once nil dandruff and itching, cure all
sci-oftilti add other cutaneous eruptions, such as
scald head, etc. It will cure, as if by magic, ner
vous or periodical headache; make the hair soft,
glossy, and wavy, and preserve the color perfect
ly, and the hair from falling, to extreme old age.
We could give the testimony of more than one
hundred' thousand' to the truth of every word we
have written. See circular and the following:
The f< I owing is from a distinguished member
of the medical profession;
St. Paul, January let, 185".
Phofessor 0. J. Wood —Dear Sir: Unsolicited
I send you this certificate. After being nearly
bald for a long time, and having tried alfthe hair
restoratives extant, und haring no faith in any, I
Was induced on hearing of yours, to give ft a'
trial. I placed myself in the hands of a barber,
and had my head rubbed with a good stiff brush,
and the Restorative then applied, und well rubb
ed in, till the scalp was a glow. This I repented
every morning, and in three weeks the young hair
appeared, ana grew rapidly from August last lift
the present time, and' is now thick, black and
strong—soft and pleasant to the touch • whereas,
before, it was harsh and wify, What Rule (hero
was of it, and that little was disappearing very
rapidly. I still use your Restorative übout twice
a week, and shall soon have a good and perfect
crop of hair. Xow, if I had read of these things
—and wholiaSrtrt?—but have not seen hitherto
any case where any person’s hair was really ben
efited by of the hair tonics, etc., of the dav;
and it really gives me pleasure to record the re
sult of my experience. I h'avo recommended
your preparation to others, and it already has a
large and general gale throughout the Territory.
The people here know its effects, and have Conti
deuce in it. The supply you Sent us,' as Whole
sale agents for the Territory, is nearly exhausted,
und daily inquiries are made for it. You deserve
credit for your discovery • and I, for one, relufu
you my thanks for the benefit it has done me, for
I certainly had despaired long ago of ever effect
ing nay such result. Yours, hastily,
J. W. BOND.

Broolf.eld, Jan. 12; 1855.
Professor Wood— Dear Sir : Having made a
trial of your Hair Restorative, it gives me pleas
ure to say, that its effect has been excellent in re
moving inflamation, dandruff, and a fc'o’flstaDt ten
dency to itching, with which I have been trou
bled from my childhood; and has also restored
my hair, which was becoming gray, to its origi
nal color. I have used no other article, with
any thing like the same pleasdre or profit.
Yours, truly, J. if. BRAGG.
State of Illinois, Carlisle-, June 27, 1858.
I have used Professor 0. J. Wood’s Hait Res
torative, and have admired its wonderful effect.
My hair wub becoming, as I thought, permanent
ly gray, but by the use of the Rstorative, it has
resumed its original color, and, I have uo doubt,
permanently so. ‘ SIDNEY BREESE,

Dear Sir: I am doing an extensive travel in
the West nnd South-western States, as general
agent for Adam’s American Liniment, and would
be glad if you would favor me With a consignment
of Professor Wood’s Hair Restorative, os I feci
assured that I can introduce it in many places
where it is not known, as my bead is a living
testimony of its valuable property, in restoring
the hair to its natural color. I am forty years
old, and my hair was almost white; but after
using three half pint bottles, my hair is as beau
tiful auburn as it was at sixteen, and much im
proved.in appearance, and I would not be without
a bottle on hand for.the price of ten. I Bhould be
very glad to attend to any matter connected with
the HairßeStorative; . I have been forfiftecn years
engaged in the same business, and will be glad to
hear from you soon. Very respectfully
