SHIPLEY, Kingston, Bt<Ross Count/,Ohio. m \ PERRY DAVIS’ VEGETABLE FAIN KILLER, STILL TRIUMPHANT, A ND after a thorough trial by innumerable living witnesses, has proved itself to be THE MEDICINE OF THE AGE Although there )iave been many medicinal preparations brought before the public since the first introduction t f Ferry Davis’ Vegeta ble Pain Killer, and large amounts expended in their introduction, the Pain Killer has continued to steadily advance in the estima tion of the world as the best Family Medi cine ever introduced. As an internal and external remedy it is truly a source of - JOY TO THE WORLD. Oue positive proof of its efficacy is, that the sales have constantly increased, aud wholly upon its own merits, as the proprie tors have not resorted to advertising io gain for it the rank it now holds among the great number of preparations of the present time. The effect of toe Pain Killer upou the pa tient, when taken internally in cases of Colds, Cough, Bowel Complaints, Cholera, Dyssentery and other affections of the sys tem, has been truly wonderful, and bas now for it a name among medicinal preparations that can never be forgotten. Its success in removing pain, as an external remedy, in cases of burns, bruises, sores, sprains, cuts, sting of insects and other causes of suffering, bas secured for it such a host of testimony, ns an almost infallible remedy, that it will be linuded down to posterity* as one of the greatest medical discoveries of the nine teenth century. The magical effects of the Pain Killer when taken or used according to directions,are certain. You have only to be sure that you buy the genuine article and adhere to the directions in its use, and yon will admit its wonderful medicinal proper ties. The genuine Perry Davis’ Pain Killer is now put up in panel bottles, with the words Davis’ Vegetable" Pain Killer blown in the glass; and with two steel engraved labels on each bottle—one an excellent likeness of Perry Davis, the Original inveutor of the medicine, the other a steel engraved note of hand—none others can be relied upon as ge nuine. Price of bottles 12 1-2 cents, 25cents, 50 cents and $1, respectively. PERRY DAVIS A SON, Proprietors, No. 74 High st., Providence, R I. The Pain Killer is a dd by C. \V.«t H. R. J.

Peterson, corner dt Broad street and College Avenue, by Mnyl7 WM. N. WHJTE. A SHY AT THE CATS. The following graghic picture is from the Albany State Register: We stated a long time age, that there would be trouble some mooulight night among ibe cats that congregate on the longsned in the rear of our dwelling. We gave notice that we had wasted more wood on them than we were able to spore—that we had used up all the brickbats that we could lay our hands on—that we had* thrown away some thing less than a ton of coat—and had smashed a window on the opposite block. All this proving of no avail, we said we had got a double-barreled gun and per cussion caps, and powder and shot; and some morning after a moonlight night, somebody’s cat wouldn’t come home to breakfast, or if it did it would be troub led with the dumps. We gave fair no tice of our grievances, and what we in tended to do about them. Well, the moon came up on Monday night, witli her great, round face, and went walking np the sky with a queen ly step, throwing her light, like a man tle of brightness, over the whole earth 1 We love the caffh of a moonlight night, in the still Spring time, and the cats of our part of the town love it too; for they come Trom every quarter—from the sheds around the National Garden— from the kitchens and the stabtes— creeping stcalingly -and softly along the tops of the fences, and along the sheds, and clambeting up the boards that lean up against the out-buildings they sat themselves down, more or less of them, in their old trysting place—right oppo site our chamber window, To all this we had, in the abstract, no objection. If a cat wishes to take a quiet walk by moonlight—if he chooses to go out for his pleasure or his profit, it is no parti cular business of ours, and we' liav’nt a word to say. Cats have rights, and we have no disposition to interfere with them. But they mus( .keep the peace. They must get up no disorderly meet ings, no unlawful assemblies. If they choose tp hold a convention, they can do it for all of us—but they must go about it decently and in order. They must talk matters over cainlly ; there must be no rioting, no fighting. They must refrain from the use of profane language—they mustn’t swear. There’ law against all this, and we warned them long ago that we would stand no such nonsense. We said we’d let drive among them with a doublebarreled gun loaded with powder and duck shot, and we meant it. But those cats didn’t be lieve a word we said. They didn’t be lieve we had any powder or shot; they didn’t believe we had any gun , or knew how to use it if we had. And one great Maltese (with eyes like tea plates and a tail like a Bologna sausage,) grinned and sputtered, and spit in derision and defiance at our threats. “ Very well,” said we, “ very welf, Mr. Tom Cat, very well indeed 1 On your head be it, Mr. Tom Cat. Try it on, Mr. Thomas Cat, and see who will get the worst of it.” We said the moon came upon Mon day night with her great round face and all the little stars hid themselves as if ashamed of their twinkle in the splen dor of her superior brightness. We re tired, after the baby had been put asleep in his crib, and the rumble of the car riages and carts had ceased in the streets and the scream of the 10 o’clock train had died away into silence, with a quiet conscience, and in the confidence that we should find that repose to which one who has wronged no man during the day is justly enttiled.* It may have been 11 o’clock, possi bly midnight, when we were awakened from a pleasant slumber by a babel unearthly sounds in rear of our cham ber. We knew what those sounds meant—they had cost ns fuel enough to have lasted us a week. We raised the window, and there, as of old, r ight opposite us, on the noTth end of that long shed, was an assemblage of all the cats in our part of the town. We won’t be precise aa to numbers,!

When-the mother of a large family of grown-up daughters pays a good deal of court to n rich young man who is not yet blessed with a wife, her conduct be comes so ridiculously transparent that all her female friends openly laugh at her for it. When a candidate plays with the children of an elector, and stuffs them with oranges and sugar plums, and pays compliments to the wife, and begs to hold the baby whilst “ she gets her good man’s dinner ready,” it does not require the sight of a lynx or a conjurer to see through a miserable transpaiency like that. When a friend drops in after dinner and brings a bag of filberts with him, the transparency assumes immediately the rich glow of a bottle of wine. When a medical man is called out of church regularly every Sunday, he must flatter himself exceedingly if lie fancies no one sees through a trick so exces sively transparent as that. When a proud, extravagant family breaks up its establishment in town and country, sells off everything it has, and goes to live on the Continent for the purpose of “ giving the children the best continental education,” we doubt if there are many persons, even of the most benevolent turn of mind, who give much faith to a story so transparent. When government talks year after year of the “ public accounts being fram ed with the strictest regard to economy,” we wonder how many persons are taken in by the transparency. When a young swell puts down his horse, and voluntarily gives up bis dog cart because he “ has been ordered to take exercise,” the’ only effect such a transparency can have on the eyes and minds of his friends is to make them exchange looks of comical incredulity and smile. When a servant wishes for a holiday 44 to go and see her mother,” on Easter Monday, or a clerk asks for “ a day’s leave, if convenient, for the purpose of visiting his aunt in the country, «ho is very poorly,” on the Derby day, though the requests in both, instances may- be acceded to, still we suspect tlmt the masters, in granting them, kindly shut their eyes to the extreme transparency of the excuse.—Punch. ya That The Silk Trade.—According to a circular which has just been issued* by M. Dufour, of Lyons, the results of the new crop of silk may be estimated as follows:—1 n Prance a very satisfactory yivld, fine weather having lately dissi pated every cause of danger. In Naples, Spain and Piedmont a short crop. With regard to Lombardy, the accounts are conflicting, but such cases of failure that are reported appear to be local. In the markets, both at St. Etienne and Lyons, the transactions appear very ac tive, and prices are well maintained- The Cincinnati Gazette says there are more stores and houses for rent ilr that city at present than at any previous period of the last ten yaars.

Intelligencer, speaking of the murder of Orndorff by McDonald a few weeks ago, in. Hampshire county, relates a strange coincidence. Mc Donald was robbing Lockmiller’s house when Orndorff came op, and he s ,i ct him for fear of being detected. Fifty years ago McDonald"s grandfather, near the identical spot, was robbing thc It use of a Mr. Lupfort, when L.’s three little children came upon him, find for fenv of detection, he murdcri d, he supposed, all of them, but fortunately one lived to testify against him, and he was hung. ABUSE OF SAM. The abuse heaped upon this illustrious individual by the Cobb* and Johnson Regency and their organs, is probably without a parallel for its violence and coarseness Conscious of the purity of his motives and the genuineness of hi-' patriotism, he beafs their opprohions epithets and denunciations with undis turbed composure and equanimity.
