M SO■)(!.<. Earnum on Lotteries In the course of bis forthcoming life, Barnum gives an interesting and instructive sketch of his lottery experience. It ought to open the eyesol -the “green ones." With another patty, Mi. B determined to go into the lottery bu-ine-s Pre paratory to this, he visited New Yo:k lor the purpose of getting information ou the subject. “ Our visit to the N-w York lottery managers greatly enlightened me in regard to the profits ot that line of business. 1 had been in the habit of selling tickets for Washington Yale, the editor ■nd printer in Danbury, and also lor O. W. Sherwood and his cousin Sa . uel, of Bridgeport, for a commission ot 10 to 15 per cent.- but in my interviews with Mr. Gregory, 1 learned that the Managers, t. king to themselves the 15 per cent, deducted on alt'pr.zes, furnished tickets to their agents at what was called ‘scheme price,’ which allowed the agents f om 25 to 30 per cent, profit. The lotteries being drawn by combination num bers, the public generally had no knowledge whatever of the number of tickets in a lottery. The ma lagers, therefore, made the prizes amount to less than the retail price of tickets by 25 or 30 per cent. This extra per ventage was a shave additional to the fifteen per cent, allowed in old fashioned lotteries. I also learned that the pro «esa of arriving at the number of tickets in a lottery is this. Multiply the three highest com bination numbers and divide by six; the quot ent it the number of tickets. I am continually annoyed, even at this late date, by Lottery Schemes sent by various agents at the South, where lotteries are still legal. 1 received one yesterday from a lottery firm in Baltimore. One of their schemes is as follows. My object in inserting it will. I trust, be appre ciated. (We leave out the scheme referred to.) It will be observe 1 that there are 78 combina tion numbers in this lottery. The number ot tickets, as I have remarked, is determined by nultiplving together the three highest combina tion numbers. 76. 77, and 78. and dividing by 6 which gives 76 076 tickets. This number of tickets, at 810 each amounts to *760,760 00 Whereas, the prizes amount to no more than 570,570 00 Leaving a profit of $190,190 00 Add 15 per cent, deducted Irom *570,570, the aggregate of prizes S 5 585 50 Making the entire profits on a single lottery $275,775 50 In the above lottery the agent procures his tickets at $7 50 each. The whole number ot tickets, multiplied by this price, amountsexactly to the sum set apart for prizes, $570 570; and the manager gets 15 per cent, drawback, or $85,585.- *O. Thousands of persons are at this day squan dering in lottery tickets and lottery po icies the money which their families need. It thisexpose shall have the effect ol curing their ruinous inla tnation, I, for one, shall not be sorry. Alter learning the profitable basis of the fore going facte, 1 went to our Connecticut lottery managers, and from that time obtained my tickets directly from them at "the scheme price.” In ■By tur.i I established agents all through the Muntry, and my piofits were immense I *old from five hundred to two thousand dollars’ worth ; •f tickets per day. On one occasion I sold a package of quarter tickets to my aunt Laura Nicholas and a neigh- I be.- of hers, for $25. Before the lottery was 1 drawn the neighbor sickened of her bargain and : begged me to take the tickets back, and my i aunt consented. When the mail brought the drawn nutnterslrom Hartford, I bad the package •(tickets on baud. Not desiring to risk that •mount of money, I induced eight of my cus tomers to join me in the purchase of the package. We then opened the letter containing the drawn ■ambers, and found that we had drawn a quar ter of the highest prize of 15,000. This result five myselt and eight others a profit of $350 The fact was dulv announced, and my aunt ■ever ceased to blame her timid neighbor, nor to lement her own ill fortune. The great luck of •rawing the highest prize spread like wild-fire, as usual in such cases, and the country, for miles •round, was lottery crazy. Our sales increased immensely. Full* appreciating the power of th« press -(to which more than to any other one cause I am indebted for my success in life. I did not fail to ' Invoke the aid of “printer’s ink.” I issued hand bills, circulars, etc . by tens of thousands, with striking prefixes, affixes, staring capitals, marks of wonder, pictures, etc. The newspapers throughout the region teemed with unique ad vertisements. Immense gold signs and placards in inks and papers of all colors, covered my lot tery office. As the curious letters ot “Joe Strick land” were highly popular at that time, I adver tu»d my office as being under the spiecial favor a«d protection of‘‘Dr. Peter Strickland,” own blood cousin to the renowned Joe Strickland, etc. til my bills and advertisements I rung all possi ble changes upon the renowned name. "The •ver lucky Dr. Strickland.” "Five more capital prizes sold by Dr. Strickland 1” “A fortune for a dolla -apply to fortune’s favorite, Dr. Strick land.’* Another mammoth prize I—huzza for Or. Strickland.” etc., etc. Home-made poetry was also frequently brought into requisition to set forth the inducements lor patronizing my office. Customers who brought their tickets and | (•nod them blanks, were told that their only wise plan was to “look lor their money where •bey lost it,—“it was a long lane that never torned,” —“such bad luck could not continue (•tig.” etc., etc. The lucky drawers of the high prize before •wntioned gave an oyster supper at my mother’s tavern to about sixty persons, (whom I invited, knowing them to be good ticket customers;) and after the supper was finished, I counted out the prize money to the elated holders of the fortunate ticket. This so excited our guests, that a pack age of tickets, amounting to one thousand dollars •as forthwith sealed op and bought by fifty sub avribers on the spot at $29 each. Seiling so many tickets as I did, a prize of one rr two thousand dollars, and numerous smaller •■•*, must occasionally turn up. These being •■ly trumpeted, rendered mine the “lucky office” i to the estimation ol many. I received orders from j •ietant parts of the country by mail, and sen* ; •ot tickets on commission by post riders and , •iters. Among my “private customers” were a ■ •amber of clergymen and deacons ; and occasi- ; ••ally some ot the weak brothers of the “chak •r»,” who came to Bethel to sell garden seeds, bought a lew lottery tickets on “the sly.” Whenever I visited Brookfield I called on one I ■an who was of a serious turn. He and bis | wife were professors of religion, and he was a frequent exhorter at prayer meetings. He always ' managed to buy a ticket or two from me, under the str ctest injunction never to divulge the fact ta bis wile. I usually dined with him ; and • hen he was busy looking after my horse, or otherwise engaged out of doors, I never failed to mH a ticket to his wife, who begged me to be very caretui not to let her h: sband have any sus- i picion of it, tor he was opposed to such things, and would never forgive her if he should know I there was a lottery ticket in the house.” O/L. Wm. Walked. Acqnm:i>.—The quui - ; 4am Presif'cut ot Ja-mt California, has iieen i trie'’ arid acquitted. Little interest was felt in the subject—the Jury saw the accused deprived, by judgment ol the Court ot the attendance ol a witness, Mr. Dillon, Consul to France, upon whose testimony he relied for some ol the most important elements of his defence; and the mur der of Dr. Kaousset Boulbon bad wrought a mar ked and decided change in the public feeling on tbe subject ot the invasion of Mexico. So great, says the San Francisco Herald, is the abhorrence in the breasts of this people ol that detestable ferocity and blood-thirstm ssto which Count De Baousset fell a victim, that if an armed expedi tion were to leave our wharves to-morrow for Ibe invasion ol Sonora, there is not power enough in toe federal authorities to p.avoat it.—A-wJ tonurriiil.

We defy the Physicians of every school, and all the Medicines that have over been invented, to produce evidence of such remarkable cures as have bten made by Dr. Roger's Liverwort, Tar and Caneludagua. We confidently ask the afflicted (not to purchase our Medicines) but to examine ov.r pamphlet, and see for themselves, whether tho evidence is as con vincing as we say it is; if so, it may prove a great b]cSfi’i ,r to you.

Dyspepsia and IndigeStiOvy-l-TheM great scourges of our people cannot bo too well understood, or the means of averting or curing them too highly appreciated. Tho person who discovers any moans of cure or alleviation, confers a benefit upon his fellows, and is deserving of honor. This desirable consummation has been achieved, end not only may dyspepsia bo cured, but it maybe prevented, by the use of “ Hoofland’s German Bitter's,” prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, Philadelphia, which medicine is spoken of iu terms oftho highest commendation by thousands who have tested its efficacy, It is perfectly innocuous in its nature, and possesses tho valuable property of improving the health of the robust, as well as restoring tho health of tho sick. novbl 12. ' ms- a Medical Testimony canuol he Con- I Z - troverted. —One of the most startling j cases is narrated of Dr. McLane’s Vermifuge by Dr. John Butler, of Lowell, Trumbull Co-, Ohio. The ease was that of a young lady who had boon very sick for eight years, and had consulted a num ber of physicians, who had treated it as one ol Prolapsus'Uteri. Dr. Butler was then called in, I and lor a time believed with his predecessors that iit was a case of Prolapsus, lie was, however, i soon forced to tho conclusion that his patient was 1 suffering from worms, and after much persuasion, I prevailed upon her to take two doses of Dr. ! M'Lano’s Vermifuge. This medicine had the ef fect of removing from her a countless number of the largest size. As or she passed them, her health immediately returned, .“hois since mar ried. and continues to enjoy excellent health. o^*Purchasers will be careful to ask for Dr. M’Lane’s Celebrated Vermifuge, and tako none else. All other Vermifuges, in comparison aro worthless. D . M’Lane s genuine Vermifuge, also bis Cclebrat- d Liver Pills, can now be had at all the respectable Lrug Stores in tho United States and Canada.
