He would also call tho particular attention of those in want of Artificial Work, to his su perior style of tooth, set on gold plate; fur beauty, strength end life-like appeaeance, they are not surpassed. As an iinpressionhas been made that my prices for dental opera tions are higher than tho usual run of Den tists, I beg loavo to say that they are thosame as charged by Dentists at Augusta, Macon and Savannah. For Artificial Work my char ges are as follows: Entire Sots Upper und Lowor from$100 to $251 Half Sots, Upper or Lower, from 60 to 150 Temporary Sots, Upper and Lower, 25 each. Partial Sots in proportion to the above.

The New York Tribune says t Any new glimpse of Charles Lamb is I always pleasant. A true-hearted admi rer of his, Dr. J. W. .Alexander, thus describes a pilgrimage to the India J House in .August, 1861, in his “Forty ] Yearp’ Correspondence,” just published ] by C. Scribner.: “I inquired of the door-| keeper about Charles Lamb. Ho, said 11 have beeiV here since I was'10 years old, I bUt,I never hoard of any Mr. Lamb.”! The doorkeeper of tho museum remem-1 berpd him well. ‘Oh, yes, sir; he was al ' little man, with such small leg wore knee breeches.’ Ho direc’C me to a private stair which would take I me down to the accountant’s office. 11 went into a place below like a bank, and | was shown to a principal person, Mr. I W. It was the room inwhiohLambI wrote for many years. Mr. W. showed I me his window where his desk was. 11 looked out at the high blank wall not I five feet beyond, and understood! Lamb’s ‘India House.’ Mr. W. showed! me a quarto volume of ‘interest tables,’[ with remarks like these in Lamb’s fine| round, hand on the fly leaf: ‘A book - much interest—Ed. Review.’ ‘A work in which the interest never flags.- Quar. . Review.’ ‘We may say of thid volume that the interest increases from| beginning to end—Monthly Review.’- Mr. W. knew Lamb well. 'He was short man, Bmalier than you, and| always wore shorts and block gaiters.’ ” Poor Elia I what would he hove said if 1 he had known that the memory of bis | “continuations” alone survived to dis tinguish him from his fellows7 But in the process of ages the very India House itself is now about to to be sold, I and will probably be replaced by a railroad station. In the general clear-1 ance of the Company, it is said £5,000 j has been realized by the sale, at so I much per tun, to the paper mills of thel duplicate archives alone, so circumlocu-l tory were all the processes of business! in thiB princely corporation. In this! inass. doubtlessly, was included what! Lainb emphatically called his “true| works." m « — A Hard Lemon.—One of a party was speaking of a four-legged chicken he had seen, when Leinon immediately averred that that chicken was not near so peculiar ns a duck he had seen ki his youth, of whom a certain Captain Morgan was the fortunate possessor, for it not only had two pair of legs, but that one pail- growed from his bock. It would be impossible for us to repeat his own words, but his story was that the duck, chasing grasshoppers, after get ting tired with running on one pair of legs, would turn over and continue his feeding. This story rather nonplussed one of the party, who suggested that it was impossible for the duck to feed with his bill pointing upwards. “Oh,” says Lemon, “his neck turned on a swivel!” “But how about his wings, Lemon 7” “Well, to tell you the truth, them shifted!” In speaking of mosquitoes of a large s'z j; seen by one of a piirty in a Southern luke, Lemon, (who was a sea-faring man many years) remarked: “Well, there! Surinam is the darnd-. est place for mosquitoes I ever Beed.— Last time I wetat for a load of met-lasses my cousin drivmeaboutto a plantation, and ’mong other thing on the farm L seed one of the prettiest yoke of cattle 1 ever laid my eyes on. Neow, (I'm tellin’ the truth ; you needn’t laugh) when I came back where them cattle, was fust, one ox was raisshi’ or there was nothin’ of him left but skin and bones, any way; and, if you’ll believe me, 1 squinted up to a tree, and there was the oussedest big skeeter I ever seed, a pickin’ his teeth with one of tho horns.” Excursion Train Changing Engines when at Height or Speed.—The light ning train which carried the New York Delegates from Detroit to Chicago, on Monday, says the Advertiser, made but five stoppages between the points.— These were at Ann Arbor, Jackson, Kalamazoo, Niles and • Calumet. At, Marshall, the wonderful feat of chang ing engines while the train was at full speed was admirably performed. Be-' fore reaching that station, the locomo tive Challenge was . unoccupied, and shooting away from the swift pursuing train, reached the station and switched off. The Raoer the awaiting engine, started, the headless train meantime thundering on over the righted switch in pursuit of the new locomotive, and without slackening of speed the. two were.united without jar or confusion.— The same feat was successfully perform ed at Miohigan City, where tho Racer was exchanged for the Rambler. Thu train from Qaleeburg to Kalamazoo, nine miles, in ten miuutes, and several times a mile per minute wasaecomplish- ed. It reached Chicago ten minutes before time, vis ; eight hours and thirty | minutes from Detroit. ROSE MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY. ROME, GA. OmoE—At Rome Railroad Depot. . W. S. COTHRAN, Pros’! 0. H.
