Suicide.
A young woniau named Georgiana
Daniil, living on Bridge street-, cemmit
ted suicide on Sunday evening by tak
ing laudanum. The verdict of the coro
net's jury was in accordance with the
facts. Daily Sun of 10 th.
Sewing machines have been brought
within the reach of almost every family.
Those who doubt it are referred to the
advertisement of J. C. Calhoun, agent, at
A. Hunters, Broad street.
We would direct general attention to
the advertisement of Lockhart, Young &
Roberts, who have lately purchased the
interest of H. C. McKee, in the carriage
business. They are fully prepared “to
verify all they allege, and in all respects
merit the patronage of the public.
Drowned.
A man by the name of Louis Kitzner, a
shoemaker by trade, was drowned in the
Chattahoochee river on Wednesday night
Dear the Palace Mills, between eight
and nine o clock. He was bathing, and
it is supposed became frightened or was
seized with cramp. Ilia body was recov
ered Thursday morning.
We learn that a negro boy, belonging
to Mr. Fulsome, of Talbot county, but
hired to Mr. Jas. Williams of this city,
was drowned Sunday while bathing in
the Chattahoochee river.
Plantation for Sale.
Any person wishing or inclined to buy
a cotton plantation are referred to a no
tice of oue for sale in this impression of
our paper. It is situated in a desirable
neighborhood, and possesses all the con
veniences desirable to a purchaser. We
speak this of our own knowledge.
♦
New Theater.
We are very reliably informed that a
project is or has been on foot for some
time past for the building of anew Thea
ter or Opera Ifouse in the city. About
$40,000 is the amount to be appropria
ted for that purpose, of which we under
stand $.10,000 have already been sub
scribed. It is to be located somewhere
in the vicinity of Crawford street or the
Market House.
Presentation to “Tom.”
The negro “ Tom,” the blind pianist,
was lately presented with a piano, val
ued at six hundred dollars. The donors
were Messrs. Knabe & Sons, extensive
manufacturers of Baltimore. A largo
company was present upon the occasion,
and, after a speech by Mr. Knabe, and a
reply by Tom’s master, (Mr. Oliver,) the
negro played many fine pieces. The
guests then partook of refreshments.
The Parker Academy.
This nourishing institution will resume
its exercises on the 23d inst., under the
supervision of Mr. G. Parker, who is rep
resented to be a thorough scholar and
succ&sful teacher. He has adopted teach
ing as his profession, an indispensable
recommendation with many who have
children or wards to educate. Those
who would patronize a school in Alabama
will doubtless be pleased after a trial of
his. See advertisement.
Death of C* D# Freer.
We regret to learn of the death, in
Eufaula. Ala., on Sunday, Bth instant,
of Mr. C. D. Preer, fo-rmerly of this city,
and of the firm of Redd & Preer, of Eu
faula. All who knew Charlie will join
in the grief of the sorrow-stricken rela
tives, who have been thus suddenly be
reaved. None knew him but to love and
esteem him for his genial character and
uniform and pleasing social qualities.
He came among us a stranger and
leaves behind a host of friends. Our
sympathies are tendered the bereaved.
Very Wrong.
We regret to notice that some of our
church going people who live outside the
city and ride in, have again commenced
tieing their horses to the fences around
the Baptist and Methodist churches.—
This is very wrong and should not be
permitted. Side walks are for persons
walking and not for horses to stand on.
Besides it shows a degree of indifference
to the comfort of those who have to walk,
which is any thing than commendable.—
Wo hope that the officers of the churches
in question will prevent any hitching in
future.

Ratification Meeting.
The friends of Breckinridge and Lane
held a large and enthusiastic meeting on
Saturday evening at Temperance Hall.
Resolutions endorsing the nominees of
the Convention were unanimously adop
ted, and provisions mule for the appoint
ment of delegates to the State Democrat
ic Convention to assemble at Milledgeville
in August to nominate an electoral ticket.
Hon. Alfred Iverson delivered an able
speech. Hon. Martin J. Crawford was
called out but declined to speak in con
sequence of the lateuess of the hour.—
The hour at which the meeting was held,
precludes a more extended notice at pres
ent.
kook Out niountaiu.
“Uncle Sam,” well known in this com
munity aud State as an experienced and
unsurpassed caterer to the taste and com
fort of the traveler, has purchased an in
terest at Look Out Mountain, Tennessee.
Asa summer resort, that is alicady well
known ; and as a landlord, “Uncle Sam”
has few equals. Those who have not yet
decided where to go for the summer,
have now great inducements to visit the
Look Out Mountain.
Bad Bridge.
The bridge on the cross walk between
the churches and Judge Wornum’s resi
dence, needs now plank. In its present
condition it is exceedingly dangerous of
dark nights. We heard of a ease where a
young gentleman fell through not long
since, but fortunately did not injure his
leg. “A stich in time saves nine” is a
good and true maxim, and might result,
it followed out, in saving our city from a
suit of damages.
Grading Comment'd.
The work of conuectiug the Muscogee
and Mobile and Girard Rail Roads has
been commenced. The grading was be
gun on this side of the river on the East
Common, and will be extended on to the
bridge, now in course of construction
across the Chattahoochee. For some
time past the work on the west side of
river has been going on and is progress
ing also to the bridge. When the latter
is completed every thing else will be
ready, and nothing will be wanting to
complete the connection between the two
roads.
“Girard Guards.”
A volunteer Military Company, with
this name, was organized in Girard on
Saturday night, by the election of the
following officers: Captain John G. Wor
sham; Ist Lieut., T. J. Rates; 2d Hen
derson Henley; 3d, H. A. Duffe; 4th, U.
L. Martin; Ist Sergeant, F. M. Doles;
2d, Wm. Snider, 3d, S. H. Boone; 4th F.

Magistrates’ Court.
The Magistrates’ Court, Justices Quin
and Walker presiding, was in session
yesterday at the Court House.
Benj. Brock, Lemuel Greene, Ambrose
Jackson, James Turnnage, Henry Turn
nago, and James Brooks were brought
before the Court under warrants sued
out by Henry Dunn, who chargod them
with the offenses of assault and battery
and false imprisonment committed on his
person.
Several witnesses were examined, who
testified that on the 4th inst., in Wo
macksville alias Utah, the prosecutor,
Dunn, was arrested and beaten by a par
ty of men, and confined in the “ Guard
House” of that precinct. It appears that
there existed an organization styled the
“Utah Society,” with a Mayor, Mar
shal and all the officers of a regular Mu
nicipality. The ostensible purpose of
the “Society” was to protect the com
munity against the intemperate people
of Columbus—some of whom, have been
in the habit of visiting Womacksville and
committing outrages against the peace
and order of the place at various times,
and the organization was demanded by
the exigencies of the times.
Mr. Dunn complains that the “ Utah
Society” transcended the object of its
formation in the offenses committed
against him—hence the arrest of the
parties defendant. James Brooks was
discharged by the Court on the charge of
assault and battery, but the others were
held to bail each in a bond of S2OO to ap
pear at the nsxt term of the Superior
Court for the county. On the charge of
false imprisonment, all six were held to
bail in the sum of $250 each, to appear
at the next term of the Superior Court.
The parties were defended by B. F.
Reese, J. A. Shingler and W. R. TurmaD,
Esqs., who managed the cases for their
respective clients, ably aud skillfully.—
Daily Sun of Tuesday.
Magistrates’ Court.
This Court was in session again yes
terday, Justices Quin and Walker presi
ding. The following cases were disposed
of: State vs. Jas. Brock, charged with
assault with a weapon likely to produce
death ; Same vs. the Same ; Same vs. the
Same; State vs. Francis Brock, Jr.,
charged with unlawfully whippingaslave;
State vs. James Brooks, charged with
false imprisonment; Same % the Same,
charged with assault with a weapon
likely to produce death; State vs. Sea
born Cook, charged with assault and bat
tery. All these cases were dismissed and
the parties discharged.
None of the individuals, whoso cases
were investigated Monday and held to
bail for their appearance at the next
term of the Superior Court, have suc
ceeded so far, in giving the required
bond.
The arrest of several who have been be
fore the Magistrates within the past day
or two, is due in a measure to the people
of Girard, who rendered valuable assis
tance to the officials of this countyin pro
curing their apprehension. It seems that
they are determined that their village shall
not be a place of refuge to individuals
who expect to escape the consequences of
violating the laws of Ge<jrgia by merely
crossing the river. —Sun of Wednesday.
—— •+
Magistrates’ Court.
This Court seems to be holdiug a pro
longed session. Justices Quin and Walk
er held it again yesterday for the pre
liminary investigation of the case of Wm.
Pike, charged with the stabb'mg ofWm.
J. Upton. This occurrence took place in
this county, in December last, as it ap
pears, but Pike made his escape and was
not apprehended until Tuesday last near
Girard, on the rail road, and handed over
to the authorities of this county. The
investigation resulted in his being held
to bail in the sum of SSOO to answer the
charge at the next term of the Superior
Court.
John A. Jones, Esq., appeared for the
proeecution, and Gen. C. J. Williams and
B. F. Reese, Esq., for the defense.— Sun
of Thursday.
A Nuisance.
In maDy cities, if we are correctly in
formed, laws have been enacted for the
prevention of the common practice of
throwing water, trash, &c., from private
rooms and dwellings on the side walks.
This is becoming very common here, and
we understand that more than one lady
pedestrian has narrowly escaped a drench
ing from water thus thrown. Besides the
chances of throwing such things on
passers by, it renders side walks filthy
and unfit for their purpose. If they are
to be drenched, we insist that it be done
in a proper manner, and with water des
titute of filth end other impurities. We
think it a proper subject for a little leg
islation by our “City Fathers ”
♦
Sun Stroke.
We learn that a man by the name of
Fagan, engaged in working upon the
new Ware House of Messrs. King, Allen
&Camak in this city, was affected by sun
stroke Thursday morning, and fell from
the effect of the excessive heat. He is
likely to recever from the attack.
In this connection, it may be of service
to state to all laborers and others who
are habituated or compelled to work un
protected from the heat of the sun, that
a wet sponge or cloth worn in the hat
while so exposed, has been found to be
an effectual preventative against sun
stroke. Considering the almost unprece
dented heat of the weather, and number
of deaths that have occurred from thiß
cause among that class of population, it
would be prndent at least, and do no
harm whatever to adopt it.
Stirring News—Howard Beaten, and
the Deflection of the Mobile and Girard
Rail Road Granted.
We clip the foregoing flaming an
nouncement from the Troy (Alabama,)
Advertiser, for the purpose of correcting
the statement. Major Howard was not
beaten for the Presidency of the road,
but received a majority of the votes of
the City Council, and subsequently with
drew from the contest, several days be
fore the convention of stockholders which
met for the annual election of officers.
That body elected a gentleman as his
successor, whose selection afforded gen
eral satisfaction especially to Maj. How
ard and his friends; and we hope and
believe that a twelve months’ adminis
tration of the affairs of the road will
vindicate the wisdom of their choice.
j Orr, the rail road contractor, having
completed his portion of the contract on
the Tuskegee Branch Road, left yester
day with his crowd of negroes and carts
for some other place east of us.—Tuske
gee Democrat, 13th.
The same train doubtless, consisting
of about fifty carts and as maDy negroes,
passed through the city Thursday morn
ing. Judging from the direction thfey
took, they are going to work on some
road North of this; probably the La
Grange and Hamilton, or one of the pro
jected roads of Middle or North Georgia.
A dispatch from Philadelphia, the 9tb,
says Forney announces that Douglas sus
tains the policy of non-coalition with
1 Breckinridge.
Columbus anil LaGrange Rail Road.
A correspondent of the Harris County
Enterprise urges the construction of the
above road, and gives some statistics
which show its value to both the proposed
termini. The length of the road is 45
miles ; in the counties through which it
will pass, the population is 53,073, the
number of bales of cotton 47,780, and the
number of bushels of grain 2,497,738. —
According to these facts, the benefit of j
the LaGrange and Columbus road to the
country through which it will run will
compare favorable with any other road
in Georgia.
It is not probable that Columbus will j
reap all the benefits that may result from
the enterprise: but it has now become :
reduced to one of two alternatives; she j
may sleep over her rights and see La-
Grange take away a great part of the
trade that she now receives, or meet the
road at Hamilton and complete the con
nection by rail road to LaGrange. We un
derstand that the people of that place j
and along the line of the road have de
termined to build the road as far as Ham
ilton, whether it is extended farther or
not ; and if this be the case, Columbus j
will, in self defense, be compelled to
build this end and meet the other.
As regards the Opelika and Talladega
Road, that is a “fixed fact.” Such roads 1
as that and the contemplated one to La- i
Grange will never injure Columbus, but
on the contrary are absolutely necessary to
the extension of the circle of her com
mercial relations with the surrounding
country, and the retention of the trade
she already enjoys.
Singular Coincidence.
ThO reader will remember that on the
election Saturday, 7th, to determine the
sense of the people relative to the sub
scription by the City Council of SIOO,OOO
to the Opelika and Talladega Rail Road,
twenty-seven votes were cast against the
subscription.
In conversation with his Honor, the
Mayor, since the election, he informed
us that in 1849 or 1850 a similar proposi
tion was submitted to the people relative
to the Muscogee Rail Road, now com- !
pleted. A committee were appointed by
the City Council, who in person, canvass
ed the different Wards, and only twenty
seven gave in their nameß as opposed to
the subscription.
It is diffioult to account for the coinci
dence in the opposition to the measures
unless on the supposition, that those who
voted against the subscription to the Ope
lika and Talladega Road, are still living
and citizens of Columbus. We hope that
ere long, the parallel in the history of
the two roads will be fully complete, and
that the one may be as productive of
good to the city when it is finished, as the
other has been and is destined to be.
City Light Guards.
Mr. J. H. Seals, corresponding with
his paper from Warm Springs, the 7th,
says : The City Light Guards left here
on Friday night, having spent a week,
and we nearly all shed tears over their
departure. It is a most excellent milita
ry corps, composed chiefly of ambitious,
energetic and whole souled young men.
Their CaptainisPeyton 11. Colquitt, Esq.,
one of the noblest young gentlemen in every
particular we have in Georgia. He is be
loved by his company, and universally
esteemed by all who know him. May
success aud long life attend this gallant
company, and if the country should ever
need their services in the tented field, we
know they will cheerfully respond to the
demand and prove adequate to all emer
gencies.
Tlie ’‘Bogus Officials.”
We suppose that all familiar with the
facts will not believe of course, that the
organization, of a “Society” inWamack
ville was necessary to protect the people
from the inroads of intoxicated individ
uals from Columbus. That was a mere
pretext, as the real object was doubtless to
practice upon the credulity of tho unso
phisticated who might chance to come or
pass that way. The ictva that the So
ciety” was necessary for the purpose
alleged is simply rediculous, which we
state that no wrong impression may be
made by our notice of the Magistrates’
Court last Monday, on those not familiar
with the circumstances.
The Post Office Steps.
For some time past, we have noticed
that the steps of the Post Office building
in front are in rather a “dilapidated con
dition” and are much in need of repair.
We are prompted to notice the matter
from the general complaint we hear ex
pressed, and particularly on account of
what came near resulting in a serious ac
cident a few days since, caused by the
condition of the steps. It is hoped the
proprietor or person having ihat matter
in charge will give it immediate atten
tion.

Tlie Young Amerlea Corn and
Cob Mill.
The Iron Works of this city have en
tered extensively into the manufactory of
these Mills for nine or more counties in
Georgia. They are also prepared to fur
nish them to owners of county rights in
or out of the State. We have already
spoken of the excellence of these Mills
for plantation and stock feeding pur
poses, and will only say, that further time
has confirmed us in the opinions then ex
pressed. If there is any objection to
them we have not detected it or heard one
tenable one urged. It is our humble
opinion, that no plantation large or small
should be without one.
The Wrong Shop,
A buxom, shiny, embonpoint ‘lady from
Africa,’ made application at the Sun office,
on Saturday, for “ Hoops at fifty cents.”
On our referring her to one of the clerks,
to have her measure taken, the feminine
exclaimed—“Ki! wharfo ? you gwine to
take measure for de hoop?”—whereupon
was heard a whoop that made the old
Oglethorpe re-echo aed ring again, and
the dusky damsel retired, to renew her j
enquiries for the coveted article in
another quarter.
Mayor’s Court.
A man, we learn, was arrested on a
certain charge, Saturday, and brought
before Mayor Holstead, who discharged
him, in consideration of its being the
first offence; but said that the next time, i
he would “ take the wind out of his
sails,” and bring him up all standing.
We judge that his Honor is determined
to rectify the manners as well as the
morals of the people. For further par
ticulars we refer to the records of his
Honor’s Court, where the offense is stated
in terms.
Hail Stonm.
All Thursday afternoon we were tan
talized with appearance of rain, but cloud,
wind, lightning and thunder all proved
deceptive, and our hopes were disappoint
ed. We learn, -however, that a portion
of Russell county, some six or seven
miles distant, was visited by a severe hail
storm, which beat down the crops and did
other damage. If they needed Tain as
much as it is wanted in this immediate
vicinity, it was acceptable even in this
solid form. The region of this hailstorm
embraced some of the Uchee lands,
and it extended some six or eight miles
in breadth.— Enquirer , 14/A.
Temperance Hall— The Opera, *c.
Mr. George I. Lloyd, agent of Tem
perance Hall, is in receipt of a letter
rom Mr. M. W T . Canning, New York,
by which we learn that he will visit
Columbus in December next, with the
great “American Opera Troupe,” whose
engagement will be limited to one
week. It is stated to be the largest and
j best troupe of the kind that has ever
| traveled. In September or October he
will also visit Columbus with one of the
best companies—theatrical we suppose—
that has ever played here.
It is in season now to say somethiog of
| the condition of the Hall, which has de
i terred many from attending amusements
i there, who otherwise would have done so.
I Managers will not rent it unless it isfre
; quented, and people will not attend unless
provision is made for their comfort as
well as entertainment. The seats espe
cially are broken and rickety, and in fact
there are few sound ones in the Hall.
The gas fixtures are out of order and very
mnch in need of repair. A little repair
ing would not damage the stage aud ma
chinery—and we might enumerate every
part of the Hall and mention none
that would be injured by repair. It is
undoubtedly to the interest of the owners
to attend to these things in time; for we
have no doubt that many exhibitions have
given Columbus the “go by” merely on
account of the condition of the public
halls.
Wonderful Escape.
About half-past eight o’clock last even
ing as the Columbus train was about
three miles from this city, a little German
boy who, with his parents, were passen
gers on the train, in a somnambulic state,
opened the door of the car aud passed out
upon tho platform and fell between the
two cars, the two hindmost cars passing
over him. The train was in a rapid mo
tion at the time, and although steps were
immediately taken to stop her, the dis
tance of a mile was passed over before
this was accomplished, when lights were
procured and several of the passengers
and officers on the train went back to
search for him. Wonderful to relate,
when found, he was lying between the
track unharmed, with the exception of a
few slight bruises.— Macon Telegraph 14 th.
*
The Zouaves.
We learn that the Columbus Guards,
through their Captain, Paul J. Semmes,
have accepted a challenge, thrown out to
the world by the Zouave Cadets of Chi
cago, Illinois, to drill against each other
according to the Tactics of Scott, Hardy
and Cooper.
The Zouaves may be a well drilled
Company, but should they achieve a vic
tory over our gallant Guards, it will be
the fault of the privates and not of the
officers. Asa CaptaiD, Captain Semmes
has but a few equals, if any ; and Lieu
tenants Ellis and Hodges both served in
the Mexican War, and are most excellent
officers, as also Lieut’s Clemons and Ev
erett.
Success to the Guards! We are not
apprised of further particulars.—Enquir
er, 10/A.
Death of Mr. Charles D. Preer.
It is with the deepest emotions of sor
row that we announce the death on Sun
day evening, Bth inst., of this beloved
and valued young gentleman. Though
but recently a citizen among us, having
removed frnm Columbus to this place in
January last, _yet his manly deportment,
his kind heart, his frank and noble char
acter, so won upon us all, that we mourn
for him as for one with whom we had al
ways known, and his untimely death lias
filled our city with sadness. He died in
the morning of his youth, being only in
his twentieth year.— Eufaula Spirit of the

An Evil.
So many negroes hire their own time ;
and so many others are allowed by their
owners to do as they please, that many
of them may be fairly said to be “above
their business.” Now it is a fact, I have
been informed, and have seen with my
own eyes also, that when a person hires a
negro from his master, if he would get
good service from him, he must hire the
negro also by paying him extra for bis
labor. If he refuses to do this, he may
expect to get less than the worth of his
money in work.
Cases like this are neither rare nor un
common. How can the evil be remedied?
LACON.
Terrible Hall Storm.
Editor Savannah Republican : One of the
most destructive hail storms supposed
ever to have occurred on Savannah river,
passed through the plantation of Messrs.
H. Taylor and Daniel. Heyward, on
Saturday evening last, sweeping nearly
every thing before it. It commenced
about 6 o’clock, and lasted from a half
to three quarters of an hour.
There can be no correct estimate of the
loss, but it is supposed not less than one
half of all the rice the hail passed
through is destroyed, and some fields
won’t make more than a third of a crop.
It also passed through a portion of
Messrs. J. J. P. Smith’s Beach Hill plan
tation to A. S. Isard’s plantation, with
the same destruction, It entirely de
stroyed all vegetables on the second of
the first named plantation. The hail
could have been raked up by basketfulls
after the storm was over. One of Mr.
Heyward’s negro men was caught in it
and nearly stoned to death before he
could get out of it. It passed through
four hundred acres of rice on Messrs. H.
Taylor and D. Hayward’s Laurel Hill
plantations, about one hundred on Mr.
Heyward’s Lucknow plantation, and
about one hundred acres of Messrs. J. J.
P. Smith and A. S. Isard’s.

Seventh Day Tribulation.
By an ordinance of the city, (whether
wise or unwise in view of the establish
ment of the license system and of the fact
that thestomach educated during six days
to “sperrits,” is apt to be the seventh to
appear promptly at school,) the selling of
liquors, wines and ale or beer, is now
strictly inhibited. In fact, one dealer
was fined yesterday heavily, ($50,) for
vending a single glass. This naturally
causes some talk and some complaint—
part of the grumbling being in English
and a good deal in an admixture of Ger
man and English. Yesterday we heard
Jacob discoursing to some of his custom
ers on the evils of the law and the only
possible remedy. Said he: “Yell, now
I tells you goot, vat you does, dxts de
only vey. And you vants to drinckt
your licker mit your lager, Soontay, you
must do one and two dinks. You must

Jacob is right. Parade the “joogs,”

Death of Sheep from Sucking: tbeir
Wool.
A singular circumstance has recently
occurred in Kent county, England, rela-
I ted as follows: Mr. Francis has been in
the habit for several years of using a
wash for his sheep, containing mercury
and soft soap, as a preventive against
flies, genet ally applied by dipping, but
in the latter case it was poured on, a pint
to a sheep.’ The flock of 128 having been
thus dressed, were turned into a barren
field to drip. In about an hour after, the
shepherd noticed some of them looking
badly, and soon after they began to die;
and by morning all bat sixteen were dead,
j It is supposed death was caused by suck
ing the moisture from each other’s wool,
there being no water in the field. Had
i Jaque’s Extract of Tobacco been used,
’ they would not have died.

affair. At least 6,000 persons were pres

advocating conciliation and compromise.
Resolutions were unanimously passed en

If Medicine is necessary, use Bran
dretU’s Pills. —They are as pleasant as a truly
effective medicine can be. It is true you may
take purgatives which will operate without pain,
because they take the balsamic parts from the
blood, which is worse than being bled, worse than
having the vital fluid abstracted. Beware of
them. Brandreth’s Pills only take hold of those
matters which tho body, when sick, wants to
evacuate. They are solely an assistant of nature
—nothing more, nothing less. They do not force;
they merely assist; and herein is their great
value. The man is thrice blessed who is so for
tunate as to be acquainted with this good and
almost perfect gift to man, because he has to a
great extent his body insured in health by their
occasional use. Principal office, 294 Canal street,

PARKER ACADEMY^
rgIHE system of instruction adopted
JL in this institution is such ajt to .
give students of both sexes, and eve
ry age and capacity, a better educa
tion in one session of five or one term
of ten months, than by the old mo
notonoi’s, laborious and wearisome plan of teach
ing usually adopted in schools and colleges, in
three or five years. The advancement of the stu
dent is attended with eass and pleasure, instead
of antipathy and dislike. It is a well known fact
that there are hundreds and thousands of youths
to be met with on every band who have attended
schools year after year in th vain effort to acquire
an aducation ‘hat will be at least useful to them
iu society, and in mest instances tho desire and
hope of parents, friends and students are frustra
ted by the injudicious course pursued in teaching.
And cannot this evil be remedied ? We affirm that
it can, and it is being constantly demonstrated in
the complete success which attends the mode of
instruction adopted in this school. Hundreds of
responsible names can be given as references if
required, and a sufficient number will be given of
students or spectators at any time to satisfy any
person desiring it. Any person who may con
template giving this institution a trial will find
that there is nothing to lose or even to risk, for
students are taken at any time during the session
and for any length of time on trial, and if dissat
isfied will only be charged for the time of atten
dance. This statement is boldly made, because
students, when they enter the school, are in all
instances pleased and satisfied with the ease and
rapidity with which they advance in their studies.
The Academy is located in one of the most beau
tiful, pleasant and healthy places, convenient to :
churches of the various denominations, society is
unexceptionable, away from the contaminating
influences which are too often thrown around stu
dents in towns, y t sufficiently near for all ne
ceseary purposes. Students entering the school
the next session, which commences on Monday,
‘23d inst., are requested if possible, to do so at the
commencement, in order that they may have Uie
full benefit of the session’s instruction. The
branches taught are those usually taught in
schools and colleges. Th# terms for board and
tuition, $65 per session of five months, payable in
advance. For any further information address

AMERICAN WATCHES,

ATTENTION is invited to the following state
ment and accompanying letters of recom
mendaticn and testimeni ls, in favor of these
j celebrated Watches:
A gold medal was awarded the Comp>auy by the
American Institntr, at New York, in 1857.
The Company also received the first premium— j
a gold medal—front tbe Franklin Institute, at
Philadelphia, in 1858.
These Watches have now been in the market for
neatly ten years, during which time they have
been tested as to accuracy, durability, and relia
bility in every conceivable manner, atd have
proved themselves to bo the most satisfactory
time pieces ever offered to the public.
This result has boeu brought about by a strict
application of mechanical science to tho construc
tion of the Watch from its very inception, render
ing it, when finished, mathematically correct in
all its proportions, and necessarily as perfect a
time keeper as it is possible to make
The Company have tested their Watches in
many instances by actual daily noting, aud the
result of this test has been that they have exhibit
ed a rate equal iu regularity to the best marine
chronometer.
N. B —We have just introduced a new style of
Watch, elaborately finished, and thinner thau any
we have hitherto produced, with several improve
ments calculated to insure the greatest accuracy
of performance, and to prevent the utual acci

very severe fit of sickness, when about 18 years of
age. my hair commenced turning grey, and so

using it according to directions, and in a lew days

and is now fully restored to its original color.

Mr. IV. E. Hagan: I have used Ileimstreet’s Hair
Restorative for three years, and find it to be amost
excellent article. It not Only restored the color t f
my hair, giving it new life and strength, but it
cured myself and wife of a most obstinate eruption
upon the scalp, wbicn nothing else seemed to benefit.
I fully believe it to be the best article iu use.
Yours, respectfully.
KNOWLTON HOWLAND.
The above are but a few of the many le’ters of
recommendation which have been tendered to the
proprietors of Ueirastreet’s Hair Coloring or Re
storative. It has been used by thousands of peo
ple, and it never fails to restore the color and
growth of the hair. This singular effect is not
produced as when dyes are used; for its acts upon
the natural secretions of coloring matter at the
roots, aud thus effects the change. The color pro
duced is not a counterfeit, but the natural shade of
youth. It does not color the skin
Price 50c and $1 per Bottle Sold everywhere.

An experienced Nurse and Female Physician, pre

SOOTHING SYRUP,
For Children Teething,
which greatly facilitates the process of teething,
by softening the gums, reducing all inflammation
—will allay all pain and spasmodic action,and ig
Sure to Regulate tho Bowels.
Depend upon it mothers, it will give rest to
yourselves and
Relief and Health to your Infants.
Wit have put up * aud sold this article
for over ten Qj years, and can say,
in confidence and truth of it, what we
have neve, beee able } j to say of any other
medicine—NEVEß HAS IT FAIL
ED, IN A SIN- GLE instance, to
Effect a CUBE, when timely used. —
Never did we know an iustance of dissatis
faction by any one ■ who used it On the
contrary, all are de- 0Q lighted with its opera
tions, and speak in terms of highest com
mendation of its magi- cal effects and medical
virtues. We speak in this matter “ what
we do know,” af- prj ter ten years’ experi
ence, and pledge our reputation for
the fulfilment of what we here de
clare In almostev- PH ery instance where
tho infant is suffering H 4 front pain and exhaus
tion, relief will bo i_j found in fifteen or
twenty minutes after the Syrup is adminis
tered. r
This valuable prepa pH ration is the prescrip
tion of one of the most—. experienced and
skillful Nuraes in New’England.aud has
been used with nev- jr*. or failing success
in
THOUSANDS OF CASES.
It not only relieves the child from pain,
but invigorates the stomach and bowels,
corrects acidity, and gives tone aud energy
to the whole system. It will almost instant
ly relieve •
Griping in the t> Bowels, and
WIND COLIC,
and ovorcomo convulsions, which if not
speedily remedied end in death. We believe
it the best and sur- J est remedy in the
world, in all cases of Dysentery and
Diarrhces inChil-JjQ dren, whether it
arises from teething, or from any other
cause. We would say to every mother who
has a child suffering from any of the fore
goingcompiaints —do not let your pre
judices, nor the prejudices of oth
ers, stand between your suffering child
and the relief that will r be BURE—yea, ab
solutely SURE — to follow the ue of
this medicine, if time- .ly used. Full direc
tions for using will rff\ accompany each bot
tle. None genuine un- less the sac-simile of
of CURTIS & PERKINS, New
York, is on tho out- ‘“H side wrapper.
