J 'A THURSDAY MORNING Jon. 50, 1867 scissoK s. —While Anna E. Dukinaon is lying extremely ill in Illinois, her Radical friends are lying well In Washington. —Sumner and Wade have fallen out. The proverb about the prospect of some other people getting their dues is trite. —The Louisville Democrat tlnnks the election of contrabands in Massn chusetts exhibits a niggardly disposi tion. —A Western editor says: “A corres pondent asks whether the battle of Waterloo occurred before or after the commencement of the Christian era.” We answer it did. —An Irishman who found on the street a hill of fare of a recent dinner at the Kirkwood House, Washington, dis covered therein the information of “oysters cooked in champagne,' as one of the dishes served. ‘‘Bedad,” says Pat, drawing his sleeves across his thirsty mouth, “I wish I was an oyster.” —A captain of a small boat on the Potomac, the other day, got very drunk, and fell into the river. Not knowing that he was iu the Potomac, but be lieving that he had fallen into the hold of the vessel, aud that it had tilled with water, he cried out, “Come her* • Jemmy, aud steer the boat while I ban her out.” —Kratsalaat’s wife discovered her old hen sitting in the back yard, and “bust up her nest.” Soon after, the poor wife came in much excited, and said : “My dear Kratsalaat, I took the eggs from ‘Browno,| and she now has gone and sot onto an o and meat ax.” “Let der set,” said the billious old fellow, “it she sets on an ax maybe she’ll hatchet." •—The Unionville (S. C.) Times matches the tale of our country friend who wanted Bibles “with large type, because they had more information in them," with that of one Jerry Frees in his parish, “who declined to buv a Bible from a Colporteur, ‘because the next edition might have something new in it.’ Jerry had great confidence in Yankee ingenuity and enterprise.” The same paper is anxious that the inventor of the buggy plow, should fix “the thing up with two seats, so that tLe old woman could join and take her knitting along. We don’t like sulkeys —we don't." A Shake Stohy. A Mississippi steamboat man vouches for the follow ing to the Vicksburg Times: On the Tallahathie river, not long since, an enormous rattlesnake fouud a setting turkey hen on her nest, and swallowed her in exactly two minutes and forty seconds by the watch, aud then swallowed the eggs, twenty-one in number, three at a time, without crack ing a single Rhell; after which he imme diately relapsed into that state ot tor pidity peculiar to Tallahathie river snakes after a big dinner. Anxious to see the denoument of this snake affair, the owner of this unfortunate fowl allowed his snakeship to go unmolested, who, coiling himself in a fence corner, remained there quietly for nine days with his mouth wide open, when the eggs, having finished the process of in cubation, the juvenile turkeys stepped out of his month, one at a time, hut as each one put his foot on terra firma it was swallowed again by this 2:40 snake before it had time to look at the sun. All this happened about six weeks ago. and as soon as the last turkey was dis posed of, the rattlesnake was caught and put into a barrel of 205 per cent, alco hol, aud on every clear day those young turkeys can yet be heard chirpping. A Very Remarkable Family.— Perhaps it is not generally known, snys The Montezuma (Iowa) Republican, that venerable gentleman, known us the ‘‘oldest inhabitant,” resides in our country. His name is William Prosser. He resides in Washington township, about four miles from Grinnell, and is now in his ninety fourth year. He was one of the first settlers in this part of the county, and from present apperances bids fair to be a resident of the count? for some years longer. Mr. Prosser served as an artilleryman during the war of 1812, and was in the battle of Lundy’s Lane and Fort Erie. lie is still quite vigorous, and will walk three or four miles with case. He has never received a pension, but uow thinks of applying for one. His mother’s family were not long lived, but on his father’s side they lived to a great age. His father's mother was married twice, and her second husband’s name was Van Camp. They lived in North Hampton, Pennsylvania. She lived Io the age of one hundred and fourteen years, and raised to manhood and womanhood twenty children 1 Among them were three pairs of twins 1 tbe last pair being born after she were sixty years of age I Now, if anybody’s grandmother can beat that, just let them speak out. The old lady evidently had a penchant for twins, which appeared to run into old _ w:i3 undoubtedly a descendant ot iilrs. Sarah Abraham, who is spoken of in ancieut history as being the happy mother of little Isaac in the uiuuty first year of her age. THE DAILY PRESS. VOL. 111.

Although there have been many medici nal preparations brought before tho public since tho first introduction of Perry Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer, and largo amounts expended in their introduction, the Pain Killer has continued steadily to advance in the estimation of the world ns the best family medicine ever introduced. As on internal and external remedy, it is truly a source of Joy to the World! One positive proof of its efficacy is, that tbo sales have constantly increased, and upon its own merits, as the proprietors have not resorted to advertising to gain for it the rank if. now holds among the great number ot preparations of the present time. The efiect of tbe Pain Killer upon the patient, when token internally in cases of Colds, Coughs, Bowel Complaints, Choloia, Dys entery, and other affections of tho system, has been *ruly wonderful, and has won for it a name among medicinal preparations that can never bo forgotten. Its success in removing pains, as an external remedy, in cases of Burns, Bruises, Sores, Sprains, Cuts, Stings of insects, and other causes of suffering, has secured for it such a host of testimou}', as an almost infallible remedy, that it will be handed down to posterity as one of the greatest medical discoveries of the nineteenth century. The magical ef fects of the Pain Killer, when taken or used according to directions, are certain. You have only to be sure that you buy tho genuine article and adhere to the directions in its use, and you will admit its wonderful medicinal properties. The genuino Perry Davis’ Pain Killer is now put up in panel bottles, with the words Davis’Vcgttablo Pain Killer blown in the glass; and with two steel engrnved labels on each bottle—one an excellent likeness of Perry Davis, the origiunl inventor of the medicine, the other a steel engraved note of hand. None others can bo relied upon us genuine. Prices of bottles 12fc cents, 25 cents, 50 cents, and sl, respectively. Valuable Medicine —We presume no medical preparation ever offered to tho pub lic has been more thoroughly tested than PERRY DAVIS’ PAIN KILLER. Thou sands of persons, were they called upon to do so, would cheerfully testify that they have used it for various ills, with the most satisfactory success. It is within our own knowledge that an immense amount of suf fering has been relieved by it. Its pro prietors, Messrs. Perry Davis & Son, save no pains or expense iu order to satisfy the public. Being strictly honorable men, they observe tho utmost uniformity in the man ufacture of their celebrated Pain Killer Tho materials of which it is composed are carefully selected—nono but the best quality being used. By these means the high repu tation which the Pain Killer has long since acquired is, at all times, triumphantly sus tiujjed. In view of these facts, we are by no means surprised to learn that Messrs. Davis & Son’s sales are constantly and rapidly increasing. While we congratulate our friends generally that so valuablo a preparation as the Pain Killer is placed within their reach, we must be pdrmittod to rejoice at tho well-merited success of its liberal and enterprising proprietor.—Provi dence General Advertiser.
