Would respectfully inform liis friends and patrons

tend to his unfinished business, but w ill attend to
all his engagements in due time. 1 am now in
serting Teeth upon Gutta Percha Plates, especially
for temporary seis, and when the gums are so ten
der and irritable that gold plates cannot be worn.
Persons often object to having their teeth ex
traded on account of the time required for the ab-
sorp'ion of the gums. This may lie avoided by
the use of Gutta Percha Plates. The teeth may
be extracted and a handsome life like set be put ii
the same week, and at a small expense, and can
be worn with con.tort. 1 have inserted a number
of sets that are now in use and doing well.
1 am now pu ling up a style of work superior to
that of Dr. Allen's Patent, so admitt- d by- bis
agent, having purchased the right to use Dr. Al
len's in 1853, and tested it to my satisfaction. I
have discontinued its use, and now use single gum
teeth, which for beauty- and strength cannot be
excelled.
Persons living at a distance who may need my
services can receive them by T addressing me at

F ROM my Plantation in Twiggs county,
011 the 27th June, two negro girls, Emily
and her daughter Mary. Emily is a dark
brown mulatto, with a small scar on one
cheeks; she has a wen on the mold of her head,
she weighs about 13 pounds, she has a full head
of long black hair; stout built. Her daughter
Alary is nearly white, slender built, long hair so
that it turns tinder, she weighs about 125 pounds,
rather thick lips, freckles on her face, has a sear
on one of her knees, caused by a burn. I think
she will try to claim her mother as a servant and
get off with some scoundrel that ha* enticed them
to runaway: she is pregnant by the scamp that has
got them off, but she tries to hide it. I will pav
a handsome reward for one or both of them. They
were bought of Mrs. Francis Colbert, of Monroe
county, and Emily has a sister there; and she mav
try to get back. Emily wore off a white dress,
the other a broad striped calico and a calico bon
net. I will give $500 for the scamp that enticed
them off, with sufficient proof to convict him.

Perry Davis “the 1’aia Killer Man.”
ISYG. R. DAKROW.
Mr. Perry Davis, widely known as the author of
the renowned “Pain Killer” medicine, was born in
th-* town of Dartmouth, Bristol Couutv, Mass,
July 7,1791.
lie was the son of Edmund and Sarah Davis, be
ing the first of three children by this marriage.—
Four years after his birth, his parents removed to
Westport, in the same County they resided during
the period of his youth.
The story of Ids early life is soon told. He pass
ed the day s of his boyhood very much as did other
lads of his time. The educational advantages of
that day were meagre, compared with those ot the
present, aud these he found available to himself
only to a limited extent. When he was fourteen
years of age; he seriously injured one of his hips by
falling through a raft, upon which he was at work,
and by this accident was not only uiad ■ a cripple
loi life, but rendered peculiarly liable to colds, fol
lowed by fevers and kindred diseases, to many of
which lie became a prey in succeeding years.
At tiie age of seventeen years, lie commenced as
an apprentice, learning the sho-makers’ trade, giv
ing his attention to it for a period ot about three
years, whenever sickness did not prevent.
It was during a season of sickness, while an ap
prentice, that Tie becanft) a Christian convert; ac
cepted the atonement made by Christ, as the only
ground ot hope for roan, and resolved, should he
recover, and his life be prolongeo, that he would
“henceforth lire not unto himself, but unto Him icho
died for him."
Upon regaining his health, it- was soon evident
that rhe purposes he had formed while even nigh
unto death, were not of an ephemeral character,
“tike the morning cloud and early dew,” which
soon pass away and are forgotten, and unwavering
and zealous. Ins characteristic devotion wa3 im
mediately manifested in the earnest endeavors to
win his kindred and acquaintances to the Savior
and eternal life.
He was baptized and received to the fellowship
of the First Baptist Church, in Tiverton, by its
pastor, Elder Job Borden, in the year 1810, being
then nineteen years of age. October 8, 1813, he
married Ruth Davol, a daughter of Pardon and
Priscilla Davol, a member ofthe same church with
himself and kindred spirit, as may be inferred from
the fact, on the evening of their wedding day, both
bride and groom attended and actively participated
in the exercises of a meeting for prayer and confer
ence, held at the residence of oue of the deacons of
the church.
Together they not only traveled the path of “the
life which now is,” but that “also ofthe life which
is to come.” along which, as the sequel shows, “the
happiest oftheir kind whom gentle stars unite,”
they have pleasantly journeyed, sharers in each
others’ sorrow, and mutual helpers of each others’
j°y.
For a period of nearly thirty years, their course
of life seemed, ill one view, to flow in rugged
channels, with whirls and edies. Clouds of sor
row thickened .-mound them. Adverse winds im
peded their progress.
The multiplied anxieties of sickness, destitution
and pinching want, at times legion-like darkened
th- ir pathway; aud “bowed down with the weight
of woe,” with the man of ancient times, they could
look up to the eternal throne, and cry out to Him
who sits thereon, “All thy waves and thy billows
have gone over us ”
From the frost of their adversity, like autnmal
leaves, showering down with every puff of wind,
one after another of their offspring dropped irora
their embrace into the tomb, until the wonted
prattle of sr.cen of these little ones, was hushed
for ver around the hearthstone, aud two only
were left, a son and a daughther, who still sur
vive the solae,- of their declining years.
From sickness Mr Davis, himself, was not exempt.
During the period alluded to. and previous to the
introduction and use ot his Pain Killer, in addition
to the a,most constant sickpess of either companion
or children, lie was brought down with fevers, w liich
had their “regular r«/i,”ou twenty-four different oc-
ca'inns. With physiesaus,however, he was abun
dantly bleessed, of the regular scientific stamp, and
bv them, has submitted sixty-four times to the use
ofthe lancet, not to mention other accompanying
remedies administeredfor his diseases. Mr. Davis
yet lives, which fact, is her,- mentioned as signi
ficant, on his part, of extraordinary constitutional
vigor, and native tenaciousness of life.
.Said he, the other day, in aliusisn to former
times, when he was—
“Freed from servile bands,
Lord of himself, though not of lauds,
Aud having nothing, yet had all,”
“It was no strange thing for me, in those days
of trial and distress, to retire at night supperless,
leaving the morrow to provide for itself, satisfied
that ‘sufficient unto tin- day is the evil thereof.’—
On one occasion I was visited by a committee
01 brethern from the church of which I was a mem
ber, inquiring the reason of my absence from their
meetings The only answer 1 could give was the
wanQot suitable ciothmg.” “At one time,” he
further remarked, “I remember when my wife was
sick and confined to the house, unable to attend to
lu-r usual household duties; having worn the only
pair of pantaloons I possessed until they must be
washed, I wended my way to an obscure pond, and
there took them off, washed them myself, hung
them in the sun, and waited for them to dry, when
I put them on, aud returned to take care of my
sick companion, as best I could.”
“But,” added he, “these were among the hap
piest days of my life. Religion was my support
and chief joy.”
Iu 1838 he removed to Pawtucket, R. I., and
during this year invented a mill for grinding grain;
and the next year removed to Taunton, Mass., for
the purpose of enlarging and faciliatingsthe busi
ness of pui ting up these mills, In 1848. while in
Taunton, he invented the celebrated Pain Killer
medicine, the circumstances of which are detailed
in tlie “People’s Pamphlet.” In 1841 lie removed
toJFall River, Mass., where he remained until he was
burnt out by the great fire of July 3, 1843. With
the exception of a very few clothes, a wagon and a
part of a harness, all he possessed was destroyed
in this fire.
His liabilities, then existing, which have since
been met and discharged, were four thousand five
hundred dollars. He left Fall River, with his
family, the same month of the fire, July 27, and
with the little assistance rendered from iiim the
fund rais -d for the sufferers, by the benevolent in
Boston, Providence and other places, he located in
Providence, not far from his present residence, and
commenced the world, so to speak, anew. About
him all were strangers. He had neither friends
nor foes, was then fifty-two years of age, and after
purchasing what few things were absolutely ne
cessary in order to commence housekeeping, found
he had the sum of three cents left. In Warren,
ten miles distant, lie had due him the sum of four
dollars and a half. This must be obtained, and
then he had a wagon and part of a harness which
he had left in Fall River, these must be sold, and
the avails, with the four and a half dollars, would
furnish him with the means to commence business
again.
Owing to liis lameness, it is with much difficulty
that our hero gets about from place to place; how
ever, a friend in tiie present emergency, offered him
the loan of a horse and wagon to go to Warren and
obtain what was due him. This he cheerfully ac
cepted. though it was still a question with him,
whether he should get to Warren, as there were two
gates to pass, the toll at both amounting to eigh
teen cents, to pay which he had but three.
Nothing daunted, liis favorite motto “I’ll die try
ing," inspiring him with hope, he started for War
ren, and succeeded in accomplishing his journey
by promising to pay Ids toll on his return. He
obtain. d liis money, returned, kept his promises,
bought somu bread for his family, and with the
balance went to Fall River, sold his wagon and
harness, aud returned to his home with the
avails, amounting to twenty-four dollars and fifty
cents.
Auspicious as were the circumstances, they af
forded scarcely ground for a single foO.hold ior
another struggle. But Mr. Davis having perserv-
ingiy worked liis way, agaiust wind and tide, all
his life-time, no doubt believed, that as successful
trips are made up our rivers as down. Timorous
effort and melancholy complaints are feeble antag
onists agaiust the armed resistance of misfortune
aud poverty; aud so long as he was not bound and
imprisoned by the stern law of impossibility, des
pair could not constitute any part of his duty.—
Great cons> queuc,-s sometimes flow from apparent
ly very trilling causes. A little worm, starting at
the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, by perserving
toil, builds up vast islands of coral, against which
the staunchest ships are dashed, and whereon
whole colonies of men may live. Immediately on
liis reiuru, he open d his “Pain Killer” manufacto
ry in liis owu residence, his companion cheerfully
assisting in preparing the medicine, labelling the
bottles, or attending to the calls of customers, nf
occasion might require. Two small boxes were
prepared, labels and circulars were provid 'd, and
ere a market was found, his funds was again en
tirely exhausted But few knew anything of the
virtue of liis medicine. Scarcely any one discov
ered anything peculiar about it, except the singu
larity of its name, simply because its qualities had
not been tested.
About this time, the Rhode Island State Agricul
tural Fair was held at Pawtuxet, four miles distant
from the city of Providence.—Mr. Davis, not by
any means discouraged, fully confident that his
medicine would be duly appreciated by the public,
as soon as they became acquainted with it, was
desirious and determined to be present, with some
of his Pain Killer, at this Fair.
How to get there, was the important question!
He had not the means to pay even the omnibus
fare! He endeavored to pawn one box of his med
icine for a dollar, but did no succeed, being met
wirh the significant reply, “We know nothing
about your ‘Pain Killer’ here.” He finally accom
plished bis design, by contracting with a man to
to take him down to the Fair, and bring him back
for tlie sum of eighty cents.
By this arrangement, it was not expected that
payment would be made until his return, as he did
not think it wise to give the information that he
w as relying solely ou the sale of his medicine for
means to fulfill his part of the bargain. j
After a pleasant ride, with his entire stock in
trade ou board, he found himself in Pawtuxet. oc
cupying a position near by a gate, through which
those \isiting the Fair passed and re-passed. The
novelty of the name of the new medicine attracted
crowds around. This was a proud day for the
“Pain Killer Man.”
One man told him of the benefits a daughter had
received from taking his medicine. Another pa
tient was relieved on the spot, upon taking it ac
cording to the directions and he saw in anticipa
tion, what has since more than been realized, the
sounding of its fame abroad in all lauds, because of
its healing virtues.
His sales amounted to between four and five
dollars, with which he returned, and made his way
to Taunton, where the Massachusetts State Fair
was being held, and where the “Pain Killer” had
already been introduced, and consequently was
j better known. Here his sales amounted to ten
dollars and a half; and from this period the demand
continued to gradually increase and its popularity
extend, until its renown has now become world
wide, it being recognized as a staple article af com
merce with many nations of the earth. The gross
amount of sales the year past, has been not far
from three hundred thousand dollars.
It is an old maxim, that “nothing moves with
out being moved,” and the fact should not be
overlooked, that laborious effort and persevering
industry, with the blessing of heaven, have secur
ed the present prosperity ot Mr. Davis. He was
always a working man, in more senses than one,
aud never belonged to that class who make the
power of doing little, aa excuse for doing nothing.
What wealth he possesses, has not been inherited,
borrowed or bought. It has been earned. Fora
while, in sunshine and storm, he toiled on, con
tent with small gains, his business gradually in
creasing, sustained and encouraged by the assis-!
tance and cooperation of his faithful and excellent
held until the 25th of March, 1850, at an expensa
to Mr. Da^is of over one thousand dollar*, which
we have heard him frequently remark “he consid
ered the most profitable investment, for the amount,
that it was ever liis privilege to make.”
In the fall of 1850, after having paid out in
round numbers, not far from three thousand dol
lars, for the promotion of religion, on “Christian
Hill,” in connection with the fifth Baptist Church,
besido, his full proportion of the current expenses,
from year to year, he proposed, as their place ot
worship was too straight for them, that they should
“enlarge the place of their Tent.”
He offered, if they would build a suitable house
of worship, at a cost of sixteen thousand dollars,
and become responsible for one half, be would
meet the other half, and the house, vvhen com
plete, should belong to the Society. This offer,
after much aSb, for some reason, was not accept
ed. No feasible plan seemed to offer itself on
which the Society could agree to build the house.
After due deliberation, and directed, as we have
no doubt, by the hand of God, Mr. Davis, realiz
ing the necessity of having a larger house, or
another, for the people to gather in for the wor
ship and service of God, on his own individual
responsibility, built and furnished a temporary
chapel, at a cost of about twenty one hundred dol
lars.
This chapel was dedicated Dec. 25th, 1850, the
dedicatory sermon being preached by Mr. Davis,
who was then a licensed preacher, by the Fifth
Baptist Church. In this chapel a church w as
formed February 2d. 1851. and publicly recogniz
ed by an Ecclesiastical Council, called for this
purpose, the ensuing month, March 5, consisting
of thirty members, none of which held relationship
with any church in the city. Mr. Davis, and
others, soon after united with this new church,
known as the High-Street Baptist Church, of
Providence, R. I.
Heaven seemed to smile on the undertaking,
revival influences were enjoyed by tlie little baud,
and, during tlie year, sixty-six others were united
to their number.
In the winter of 1851-52, Mr. Davis constructed
aminatun- model house of worship, aud the fol
lowing spring presented this model to the archi
tect, with instructions to draw liis plans “accord
ing to the pattern given him.” This was done,
and solely upon his individual responsibility
workmen were immediately engaged in the erec
tion of a beautiful church edifice, known as the
“Baptist Chapel,” and standing on the corner ot
Stewart and Pond streets, a few steps from High
street.
Tiiis edifice is built of brick, in the most sub
stantia! and workman-like manner; has a fine or
gan, bell and clock, and a beautiful vestry, in
which convene on the Sabbath, one of the largest
Sabbath Schools in the State, with other rooms
fer Sabbath School Library, Pastor’s Study, &c.,
all furnished in the most tasteful and serviceable
style.
It was dedicated January 11, 1353, and cost
Mr. Davis, including the lot on which it is built,
thirty-six thousand dollars. It stands 011 the high
est land in the heart of the western part of the city,
and as a monument commemorative of his worth
and noble disinterestedness, our prayer is, that it
may continue to stand, and perish only
“When wrapped in fire, the realms of ether glow,
Aud heaven’s last thunders shake tho world
below.’
The High-St. Baptist Church, yet in its infancy,
and possessing but little wealth, occupy this
house, annually renting the pews for a sum equiv
alent to their current expenses. Mr. Davis not
only allows them the use of his house, hut is ona
with them, in all the objects for which they labor

and holiness.

tributed largely towards increasing their patron
age, and establishing a reputation, universally
accredited to them at home aud abroad, for integ
rity, promptitude aud faithfulness in the execu
tion of the business of the firm. From secular
matters, Mr. Davis has more recently almost en
tirely exempted himself, leaving the responsibility
of managing their immense business with his son,
whose energy, enterprise, and business tact are
already extensively appreciated, ofl'ering ample as
surance that so long as it remains in his hands,
its concerns will be conducted with similar fideli
ty, aud uniformly in the same honorable manner,
which have characterized its management since
its commeucemi-nt.
Many suppose that Mr. Davas is in affluent cir
cumstances; in other words, is a very rich man.
This is a very great mistake. He is not rich, and
there are very good reasons why he probably
never will be. He is a liberal man, but in the
common acceptation of that term, is not a rich man.
In the first place, with him the tide of earthly
prosperity lias been flowiug but a brief period.
It is but a short time since he was a very poor
man, with heavy liabilities resting upon him,
which have since been discharged Again, it
should be remembered that tour or five years pass
ed away before accumulations began to increase,
Since which time his prosperity has been gradual.
And in the last place, though not least, bis bene-
voience, together with the constant drafts made
upon it, forever render it impossible for him to ac
cumulate much property. About him, there is not
his labors have been signally blessed.
He was ordained to the work of an Evangelist,
November 9, 1853, by an Ecclesiastical Council,
called for this purpose by the Church, of which,
he is a member As a speaker, his intense ear
nestness, daring spirit, genuine humor, and un
bounded benevolence, by turns indicated, win
him many friends. With the insipid bttemess of
rhetorical mechanism he has no acquaintance;
deals in no sentimental common-places about the
odor of roses and the blandishments of virtue, bat
as an embossador commissioned from heaven
exerts every faculty in direct negotiation for the
salvation of his hearers. As a brother man, who
has felt the power of Divine Truth on his own
heart, his impressive mamer certifies that he is
intent on winning their souls to Christ. Had his
mind been disciplined into symmetry by severe
science, aud embellished with the decorations of
classical learning, we can better conceive than
describe what his power, as a preacher, would have
been.
As a man, Mr. Davis is courteous, sympathizing
and kind to all. The beauty of old age already
rests upon his whitened locks “silvered o’er tha
grave.” In his youth and manhood his soul has
been conversant with divine truth, and now, th«
chill of old age he seems not to feel.
He is uniformly in the spirit, his eye not so
much resting on the conflicts of the past as on the
glories of the future, anticipating his destiny with
a gladness as quiet and lioly as heaven. As a
Christian, he seems to stand on a Pisgahofhis
own, bidding farewell to the wilderness he has
passed, reads his title clear to mansions in the
skies, and beholds, with unclouded vision, the
wove an imperious web of Conventional preju
dices, to protect him from contact with the com-1 promised land lying in the placid and everlasting
mon people. His sympathies for the suffering of | “ rient before bim . H is piety is full of light,
all classes, by the vicissitudes and discipline of
his early life have been unfolded aud enlarged, and
the story of another’s sorrows, touched the iner-
most and tenderest fibres of his being. His home
once was iu the lowest vale of life; he has shared
the sufferings of the most destitute: lias oftentimes
struggled with difficulties almost to struggling;
has cloaked his outward wants and inward aspira
tions beneath the humble mechanics's garb, aud
toiled on through many a day, with sweating
brow, blistered hands and bleeding heart, to win
a scanty sustenance, and consequently, the ap- .
peals of the destitute and sorrowing are seldom
made in vain.
His benevolent nature would respond to every
call, and for a considerable length of time, no ap
peal which was made to him was refused. If he
lad not the means at hand, he would borrow, but
warmth, and love.
His mental powers, apparently are as vigorous
as ever. His bodily health is uniformly good,
with the exception of liis lameness, which renders
it inconvenient for him to get from place to place
as he once did. With noble pride he might with
propriety say,
“Though I look old, yet am I st;ong and lusty;
For in my youth I never did apply
Hot and rebellious liquors iu my blood:
Nor did not with unbashful forehead woo
The means of weakness and debility;
Therefore, my age is as a lusty winter
Frosty, but kiudlv.”
We instinctively revere the venerable patriarch
whose soul purity and piety constitute the chief
springs ot his action: whose life has been upright
experience soon taught him a more excellent way. 1 and useful. We covet his esteem, and feel our-
Tiie impertinence aud impudence of some, for
which, under the former rule, he had no remedy,
now not unfrequ.-utly meet with a just rebuke.
In the religions enterprises with which he has
been allied, and to a greater or less extent identi
fied, more immediately in the vicinity where he
resides, he has taken a deep interest, ana toward
their advancement his liberality hath largely
abounded.
I11 1845, ere liis business would warrant the
measure, such was his interest in the welfare and
prosperity of the Fifth Baptist Church, of which
he was a member, tha the obtained a policy of insur
ance on liis life, on which lie hired the sum of five
undred dollars, agreeing to pay for its use at the
rate of five dollars per week, supposing that he
should want it but a short time.
He had encouraged the building of a tabernacle
for this Church to worship in, with the mutual un
derstanding that itshuuiu not be dedicated aud set
apart for worship, until all the bills incurred in
its erection were paid. During his absence from
home it was decided to dedicate the house, with
out making arrangements to cancel the debts.
The evening previous to the day set apart for this
important service, he returned, and was informed
of what had been decided upon. His personal
pledges had been given that the house was to be
paid for before it should be used for the purpose
for which it was built. He was now in trouble,
as he plainly saw that liis word was to be falsified,
and veracity impeached by this measure. It was
too late to interfere with the execution of the ar
rangements for dedication, and he therefore, while
others were engaged in the services incident to
the occasion, occupied his time 111 effecting the
above mentioned arrangement of raising five
hundred dollars with which to cancel the debts
on the house.
Simultaneously the house was dedicated and
its debts liquidated. For paying these debts
he had the privilege of paying five dollars a week
for the space of about two years before his busi
ness would allow him to pay the principal of this
note. When he effected this arrangement, he
• rroneously supposed that others of the Society
would take shares in the house, and release him
from this obligation, but tlie house was paid tor,
and more than this it was a free house, w hat else
could be expected! To many, then, as now, who,
with their eyes turned toward heaven, and their
hands scraping together the mammon of unright-
uousness, ami who consider that, by divine ap
pointment, they are stewards ofall they possess,
commissioned to be ever vigilant, lest any of their
substance should fall into more unworthy hands,
there was a peculiar ehartn in the idea of having a
free gospel, preached in a free house, to a free
people, especially when their freedom might be
used in the assumption of pecuniary obligations,
and also us' d at their option ill the discharge or
neglect of those obligations.
But years passed away. The Pain Killer was
gaining the confidence of the public. The Taber
nacle was enlarged, Mr. Davis incurring about
two hundn d dollars of the expense. In B849,
Nov. 11, a protracted meeting commenced, which
selves better for honoring him. With him the
flowers of existence are bright and fragrant to the
last.
Tha past sends up no better upbraiding*: the
present smiles to his reverent gaze, like a ehiid in
the face of its father; and the futurrj throws wide
open its portals to his ravished sou*, and a radi
ance majestically serene beams m.'.jclipsed from
the brow of old ago when adorned with the attrac
tiveness of frugal virtue, and crowned with the
memorials of a beneficent life. The smile of heav
en, and the sweetest dews descend on the brow
and bosom of such, assuring them that, though
the shades of dunnight are gathering around, the
glories of a brighter morn will soon follow. The
termination of their earthly sojourn is a repose
calm and impressive, hut a repose full of sublime
vigor, lik3 a mountain relieved against the clear
evening sky, and radiant with the sun's richest
splendors.
Afr. Buchanan at Home.— The Lancaster Exam-
iner a know nothing and black republican pa
per, which supports ‘Fremont and freedom,’ bears
cheerful and voluntary testimoy to Mr. Buchan
an’s unbending integrity and his noble char
acter in social life. After some introductory
remarks, tho editor of the Examiner proceeds to
say:
“We knew the man as one of our most respect
ed fellow-citizens—a gentleman of unblemish
ed personal integrity and unusually agreeable
manners in his social intercourse with all class
es.
We know him as a friend of the poor widows of
this city, who, when the pierciug blasts of each
successive winter brought shrieks of cold and hun
ger, and want, in the frail tenements of poverty,
could apply to the ‘Buchanan Relief Donation’
for their annual supply of wood, and sitting down
with their orphaned children in the cheerful
warmth of a blitzing fire, lift their hearts iu silent
gratitude to God, and teach their little ones to
bless the name of James Buchanan. As a citizen,
a neighbor, a friend—in a word, as simply James
Buchanan, we yield to no man in the measure of
our respect and esteem.”
