MURPHY RESIDENT DENTIST, R ESPECTFULLY informs his friends, and the public generally, that ho continues the practice of DENTIStR Y in all its branch es, and has fitted up an office, over the store of McGuiro A Pinson, where he Is prepared to execute all operations appertaining to Den tistry, in the most approved manner. He would also call tho particular attention of those in want of Artificial Work, to his su- icrior stylo of teeth, set on gold plate ; for icauty, strength and lifo-like appeaeanco, they are not surpassed. As an impression has been made that my pricos for dental opera tions aro higher than tho usual run of Don- tists, I bog leave to say that they are tho same as charged by Dentists at Augusta, Macon and Savannah. For Artificial Work my char ges aro as follows: Entire Sets Uppor and Lower from$100 to $250 Half Sots, Upper or Lowor, from 50 to 160 Temporary Sots, Uppor and Lower, 25 each. Partial 8ets in proportion to tho above. As I am well pasted in all the late improve ments of the day, I feel confident that I oan meet the wants of all who may need the sor- vloos of a Dentist, and if references are want ed; as to their utility In answering the purpo ses of natnre, I can give them In abundance, from those who have tested my skill, for tho last fourteen years, in this, and adjoining States, „ J.

A Ride on a Locomotive. A correspondent of the Boston Post, on his way to the Chicago Convention, writes as follows: * * But to me there was reserv ed on this trip a decided novelty—a sensation so strange <and unusual that the mind can never recall it without feelings of the most peculiar character. Have you ever ridden up on a steam engine through a wild country at ttya rate of 45 or 50 miles an hour! If so, you can really imagine the character of my yesterday’s experience in part.— The intentions showered upon some of the passengers, included, bo far as 1 was concerned, on invitation to ride for the distance of thirty miles or more upon the locomotive, and desiring to avail myself of this rare ohance, 1 mounted the Huron, and took the engineer’s seat at the earnest solicitation of that official, at Fremont. The signal given we were soon under way. First sensa tion, ordinary; second, extraordinary; third, bewildering; fourth, startling and fearful; fifth, indescribable. Hush ing, tearing, diving and plunging, the steam horse pushes forward, promising utter destruction to all animate and inanimate objects that cross its path, and bearing in its train a burden of in terests on whioh distant relatives hold a heavy mortgage. Away we go at the rate of forty-five miles an hour, startling all inoffensive inhabitants along the route, and threat ening a terrible visitation to all such objects as dare to obstruot our passage —throwing into a common neap, I might almost say, the mile posts and distinct wheat crops of a common dis trict—and allowing ourselves to be shook, thumped and jerked into all sorts of disagreeable and dangerous po sitions. There I was tearing into a wild and apparently unsettled country, going like the arrow’s dart beyond all control, and conscious at every moment of the uncertainty attending the fate of such an explorer. But enough of this. You may sometime or other ride upon a locomotiveyourself, and then you will understand how inadequate is the most vivid description to paint such a jour ney. I may say, however, in regard to the line over, which we travelled, that for twenty miles tho road is about as straight as a line could possibly be drawn, having but one curve—and that of an angle of forty-five degrees—for the entire distance. The jar of the engine gave a continuous toll to the bell, thereby producing a solemn and mournful accompaniment to the expe dition, and I cannot say that I was sorry when we “made," as the sailors say, the depot of Toledo and I reached terra firms. I should not hesitate to repeat the thing again, however, should ever occasion offer. «©*Mr. Gerrit Smith has written a letter giving an account of his insanity, HENRY A.

Spring Creek. There' we pasted a, wreck-engine, tender and three caw, tumbled down the embankment ana made into old iron and over wood.— Those who do not believe in the de pravity of the human heart will please listen to the story. A conductor put two hard looking fellows from the train the week previous. They swore revenge, and on the night of the 17th stole a crowbar from the company, re- moved a rail, with the intention of pre cipitating the train into the Crack, and then lay down in the woods to behold . with fiendish delight the fatal plunge. On came the train in the darkness, and in an instant all was a wreck. Strange to say, though the caw were broken al most beyond the possibility of repair, no one was --injured. The miscreants rushed out to obtain plunder, but were disappointed, and subsequently found themselves in the bands of the officer* - of justice," 8Sy*The Marseilles journals represent that rats have lately increased so much in that city, in spite of the attempts to destroy them by means of traps, poison, &o., as to have become a serious nuis ance, Infesting the streets at night, and even invading kitchens and larders in the day time. The journals say that cats, appearantly from fear, do not at tack them, and they recompendtbe employment of English terriers, one of these dogs having completely extermi nated, or driven away a horde whioh had taken up its residence in one of the principal hotels. BQT’A letter from Washington says: “Letters have been received from Mr. Everett, soliciting the opinion of hia friends here as to his acceptance of the Baltimore nomination, and exhibiting some signs of reluotance. They have generally advised that he ought to ac cept, because the convention adjourned without making provision for such a contingency, and if he was disinclined that decision should have been announc ed promptly, to have allowed another selection. Besides, it is contended that a withdrawal woutd involve him in em barrassments not easily relieved.” Wit at Fxruqia.—The Etptro of Tun- in relates the following anecdote: “A, few days ago Cardinal Pecci, frightened at the desertion of the Swiss -at 1 Perugia, sent for Colonel Schmidt, and said to him. T know there are-several disaf fected men in your corps, who db noth ing but spoil the others. Do-call all your men under arms and bid those who do not like theAervioe step forwad and take their discharge’in (Jod's name.'
