Private School in the Country.
T HE Exercises of a Private School, in which
scholars, at any stage of their studies, mav
obtain a complete English and Classical education,
will be commenced at this place, at the beginning
of next year, under the direction of the under
signed. When desired, instruction will be given
in the modern languages, or any other branch of
study not usually pursued in Academies.
No scholar will be allowed to pass over any
thing which lias not been thoroughly learned
The instruction given will be of a practical na
ture, teaching what is adapted to the ordinary bus
iness of life, rather than what is designed for show
only.
A new building is being erected which will af
ford accommodations for any number of scholars
cot exceeding one hundred.
The school, which is located in a healthy por
tion of country, convenient to two churches, and
away from the corrupting influences of town or
village life, will be conducted by William W. Tur
ner, aided by as many assistants as may be neces
sary.
Board can be had w ith either of the undersign
ed, within a few hundred yards of the school house,
or with others in the immediate neighborhood.
Parents or guardians having children to educate,
would do well to inquire further into the advan
tages of this school before making arrangements
elsew here, by addressing either of the undersign
ed at Turnwold, Putnam Co., Ga.

Surgeon Dentist,
Would respectfully inform his friends and patrons
that lie continues to practice in Baldwin and Put
nam, aud that he has not authorised any one to at
tend to his unfinished business, but w ill attend to
all his engagements in due time. I am tiow in
serting Teeth upon Gutta Percha Plates, especially
for temporary sets, and when the gums are so ten
der and irritable that gold plates cannot be worn.
Persons often object to having their teeth ex
tracted on account of the time required for the ab
sorption of the gums. This may be avoided by
the use of Gutta Percha Plates. The teeth may
be extracted and a handsome life like set be put in
the same week, and at a small expense, aud can
be worn with comfort. I have inserted a number
of sets that are now in use and doing well.
I am now putting up a style, of work superior to
that of Dr. Allen’s Patent, so admitted by his
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 aud strength cannot be
excelled.
Persons living at a distance who may need my
services can receive them by addressing me at
at this place.

55T We are glad to learn that Davis' Pain-Killer is
having so large a sale in our city. We have every
reason to believe it to be an almost never failing cure
for pain, and as such is a medicine no family should be
without.—Montreal Pilot.
Davis Pain Killer, from the reports of dealers in this
city, we think no proprietory medicine has had a larger
sale. Its valuable properties, as a speedy cure for pain,
cannot fail to he generally appreciated, and nc family
should be without it, iri case of accident or sudden at
tack of dysentery,diarrhoea, cholera morbus, and even
Asiatic cholera, yields to ils magic power, as we see
by reports from those sections in the southwest where
the disease has been particularly virulent the past sum
mer.—Montreal Transcript.
Messrs. Perry Davis & Son :—Permit me to acknowl
edge the benpfit of your valuable medicine—the Pain
Killer. I have been afflicted for two years and a half
with a severe pain in the stomach and breast, and new
found any relief until I tried Davis’ Pain Killer, to
which I cheerfully attribute my r-storation to good
general health. I consider it the best family medicine
in use, for restoring and building up a debilitated system
to its naiural vivacity and vigor of life.
L. DSE. TOUCHET, Montreal, L. C.
Perry Davis’ Vegetable Pain-Killer!
Travellers are always liable to sudden attacks of
Dysentery and Cholera Morbus, anil these occurring
when ahsent from home are very unpleasant. Perry
Davis' VEGETABLE PAIN KILLER may always
he relied upon in such cases. As soon as you feel the
symptoms, take one leaspoonful in a gill of new milk
and molasses and a gill of hot water, stir well together
and d.-ink hot. Repeat the dose every hour until re
lieved. If the pains be severe, bath ■ the bowels and
hack with the medicine, clear.
In cases of Asthma and Phthisic, lake a teaspoonful
in a giUbf hoi water sweetened well with mol issos ;
also hathe the throat and stomach faithfully with the
medicine, clear.
Dr. Sweet says it takes out the soreness in cases of
bone-setting faster than anything he ever applied.
Fishermen so often exposed to hurts by having their
skin pierced with hooks and fms of fish, can be much
relieved by bathin' with a little of Pain Killer as soon
as (he accident occurs ; in this way the anguish is soon
abated ; bathe as often ns once in five minutes, say
three or four times, and you will seldom have auy
trouble.
The bites and scratches of dogs or cats are soon cured
by bathing with the Pain Killer, clear. Great success
has been realized by applying this medicine as soon as
the accident occuis.
VALUABLE MEDICINE*
We presume no medical preparation ever offered to
thepnblic has been more thoroughly tested than
Perry Davis' Pain Killer.
Thousands of persons, were they called upon to do
so, would cheerfully testify that they have used it for
various ills, with the most satisfactory success. It is
within our own know ledge that an dkiense amount of
suffering has been relieved by it. Hs proprietors save
no pains or expense in order to satisfy the public. Be
ing strictly honorable men, they observe the utmost
uniformity in Ihe manufacture of their celebrated Pain
Killer, i he materials of which it is composed arc
carefully selected—none but the best being used. By
these means the high reputation which the Pain Killer
has long since acquired is at all times sustained. In
view ol these facts, we are by no means surprised to
learn that Messrs. Davis <& Son's sales are constantly
and rapidly inc easing.—Providence General Adv.
Mr. Perry Davis : I fee) it to he my duty to bear ray
testimony to the efficacy of your Pain Killer. I have
used it for years for compiaiuts of the stomach arid
bowels. I had a very severe attack a few days ago of
the ague, and such a pain in my back for three days
and nights that I could get no rest. I sent and got a
25 cent bottle of the “Vegetable Pain Killer.” I took
a little inwardly, and bathed according to directions,
and one application has removed oil the puin, and I am
able to write to-day, though with a trembling hand.
The application was made last night about 9 o’clock,
and i had a sweet night’s rest. 1 have recommended
it for several years, as 1 have travelled a good deal, and
it has given universal satisfaction where it has been
used according to directions.
Yours gratefully, P. PERRY CHILDS,
Pastor of Baptist Church, Troy, Ohio.
A SURE CURE FOR A FELON —When the
soreness first commences, or even when far advanced,
it can be relieved and entirely cured by holding tlie fing
er or part afflicted in Perry Davis' Pain Killer for half
an hour. It has been thoroughly tested, and proves a
never failing remedy. A felon it a troublesome thing,
and we would advise all so troubled to test the remedy.

Restorative. I have sold it all. If yon choose, you
may send me six dozen bottles Hair Restorative; I
think 1 can sell it. It has worked miracles in this

fetched nr w hair out aIIover his head.
Yours, respectfully, M. H. Gridley.
C. K. R. Office, Vandalia, June 21, 1854.
Professor Wood—
Dear Sir : I take pleasure in bearing voluntary testi
mony to the excellence of yoor Hair Restorative.
Three months ago, my hair was very gray. It is now a
dark brown, (the original color,) smooth and glossy.
The only application 1 have made to it, has been the
Hair Restorative prepared by »(io, and which, from the
result in my own case, I can most cordially recommend
toothers. Yours, respectfully, E. Wolcot,
Vincennes, Ia., June 21, 1853.
Prof. O. J. Wood—As you are about lo manufacture
and vend your recently discovered Hair Restorative, I
will slate, for whomsoever it may concern, that I have
usid it, and known others to use it—that I have, for
several years, been in ihe habit of using other Hair
Restoratives, and that I find yours vastly superior to
any other 1 know. It entirely cleanses the head of dan
druff, and with one month's proper use, w ill restore any
person's hair to the original youthful color and texture,
giving it a healthy, soft and glossy appearance ; and all
this without discoloring the hands that apply it, or the
dress on which it drops. I would, therefore, recom
mend its nse to e^ery one desirous of having a fine col
or and texture to hair.
Respectfully yours, Wilson King.
St. Louis, June 20, 1853.
Prof. Wood—As you are about to prepare and v nd
your recently discovered Hair Restorative, and as you
request my opinion of it, I will slate, that my hair was,
a month ago, very gray, and after using two bottles of
ycur Hair Restorative t resumed its original color, and
since ils application, all dandruff has disappeared from
my head, and 1 have been troubled with no disagreeable
itching of the scalp, I am satisfied that those who use
it will not regret it, as it gives the appearance of having
been recently oiled. 1 am prepared, therefore, to re
commend ils use to all who are desirous of having a
beautiful head of hair.
1 am, sir, yours, etc, • H. L. Stewart.
Prof. Wood—Dear Sir . My hair had, for several
years, been becoming prematurely gray, accompanied
by a liarshness which rendered the constant application
of oil necessary in dressing it. Whin I commenced
using your Hair Restorative, buttw’o months ago, it was
in that condition ; and having continued its us till with
in the last three weeks; it has turned to its natural col
or, and assumed a softness and lustre greatly to be pres
ferred to those produced by the application of oils or
any other preparation I have ever used. I regard U as
an indispensable article for every lady's toilet, whether
to he used as a Hair Restorative, or for the simple pur
pose of dressing or beautifying the hair. You have
permission to refer to me all who entertain any doubt of
its perform ng all that is claimed for it.
Mrs. C. Symonds, 144 Third st.
Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb. 10, 1854.
Watertown, Mass., May 1, 1954.
Prof. O. J. Wood—Allow mo to attest the virtues
and magic powers of your Hair Restorative. Three
months since, being exceedingly gray, I purchased arid
commenced to use two bottles, and it soon began to tell
in restoring the silver locks to their native color, and
the hair, which was before dry, harsh, and falling off,
now became soft and glossy, and it ceased falling ; the
dandruff disappeared, and the scalp lost all the disa
greeable itching, so annoying before, and now 1 not on
ly look but feel young again.

It will be perceived, by this plan, that for $60
the purchaser has a Certificate often tickets, when,
if he buys tickets, he would only get for that sum
six wholes. Thus by buying Certificates he has
four more chances for larger prizes—Halves and
Quarter packages in proportion.

Old Jot-—Every thing that was done vag laid ta
Old Joe.
There lived, not many years ago, a
wicked wight whose name was Joe.—
Though very poor he eschwed labor,
and lived by tVlcliing from his neigh
bor. At last his neighbors always
thought—though at it lie , was never
caught—he’d take if he could get a chance,
whatever fell beneath his glance; and
when a farmer missed a hoe or an axe,
’twas laid to Joe. In fact, they made him
with impunity, a scape-goat for the whole
community.
In the same neighborhood there dwelt
an old Dutch farmer, named Van Pelt,
whose wealth enabled him to keep large
herds of cattle and of sheep; and often he
boasted of the latter; no sheep than his
were fatter: Our worthy farmer, though no
glutton, was partial to fat chops of mutton
One day he labored hard and long, like
thenightengale in the song, began to feel, as
well he might, the keen demands of ap
petite—he’d eaten nought from morn till
night—and hieing forth he sought to slay
his fattest sheep without delay. He ar
rived at the field which he supposed all
safe and snug his Hock enclosed; but
though the rest were on the ground, the
fattest one could not be found. The field
produced of grass and clover in supply;
it was moreover encircled by a fence liigh-
too high for sheep to scale—and hence he
argued, “there can be no doubt, some hun
gry thief has been about.” Each circum
stance proclaimed it so, aud who could steal
a sheep but Joe?
“It was he, I’m sure; I’ll bet my life on
it!” and he went home and told his wife on
it.
Next day he to the ’Squire repaired and
with a solemn oath declared his belief that
Joe had got the sheep concealed about his
cot. “To prove his guilt, dear sir, I wish
you would instantly warrant issue, and the
constable and I together will searcl* Joe’s
cot for my wether.
The magistrate at once complied, and
with tbecatchpole at his side. Van Pelt set
forth. They reached the spot a tiny look
ing rough built cot, and rudely entered
without knocking. Joe’s wife sot darning
an old stocking,'her feet meanwhile the
cradle rocking. The officer, in a surly
tone, made at once his business known.
"With much surprise the woman listened,
while in her eye a tear drop glistened.—
Her pride was touched, her color rose, car
nation tinged her cheek and nose, as she
expressed in tones of thunder her indigna
tion and her wonder. “It is to search my
house, then, is it, that I’m indebted for
this visit? You choose your safest time to
come, for if my husband was at home.—
l’in very sure you would’ut venture Avitli
such intent the house to enter. He steal
a sheep! he’d scorn to do it, and if you
told him so you’d rue it. But if you can’t
be satisfied, Avhen you rumaged far and
wide, proceed at once as soon as may he,
and don’t wake up my poor sick baby.”—
Then came a flood of tears, then more re
conciled, she sang, or rather sobbed, a dit
ty to her child.
Woman’s threats are vain; her tears
have potency to move tlie spheres. So
thought Van Pelt, whose heart was pained
to see them flow all unrerestraiued. To
leave his comrade in the lurch, alone to
prosecute the search, strongly at first he
felt inclined. Ho soon, however, changed
his mind, concluding it would be better to
gaurd the lady, and not let her be by the
constable abused, who being to such scenes
more used, seemed with her grief some
what amused.
Around now they began to pry, search
ing the house with careful eye. The pan
try first, turning the button, they looked
within but found no mutton; and then the
celler, garret, hall, bed-room, woodshed,
oven and all. Their search, however, pro
ved in vain, and they retraced their steps
again, sure that the place did not contain
the missing sheep, alive or slain.
With head thurst through a broken light,
the woman xvatched them out of sight.—
Then stepping to the cradle took, and
straightway hung upon a hook a well
dressed sheep as fat and fine as ever temp
ted man to dine.
Joe soon came in, and she related how
nicely she the men had cheated—how,
when she saw their steps directed towards
the house, their plans suspected; so, run
ning to the pantry shelf, where Joe had
put the meat himself—for he the night be
fore had taken it, and lugged it home and
slyly laid it—she clapped a nightcap on
the sheep, and laid it down as if to sleep
within the cradle, where its form she cover
ed up to keep it warm, and rocked and
sung to keep it quiet, supposing they
would not come nigh it.
This did old Joe’s tenderness awaken;
shed save his mutton and his bacon, and
proved herself a help quite meet for one
who stole the food he eat. ^3o up he step
ped and fondly kissed her, until he thought
he’d raise a blister, and prized her’s as the
best receipt he’d ever found to heep fresh
meat.
Exesesice Smoking.—The last number of the
New York Medical Gazette contains au article an
the ill effects produced by the excessive smoking-
of tobacco, from which we take the following ex
tract:
“Besides the necessary effect upon the head, of
the marked irritating action, is the superabundant
secretion of saliva, and of the humors salutary in
their nature, destined, when in due proportion, to
maintain the first acts in the digestive process.
And these abundant secretions not unusually at
the cessation of the stimulus become altered, with
remarkable dryness of the fauces, of the tongue,
and of the (esophagus, which obliges the smoker to
seek new means of stimulus, in alcoholic drinks
which increases the primitively injurious effects of
tobacco. That ptyalism continued for a long time
should be an efficient oause of injury to the animal
organism, no one will deny, when they reflect that
by these means are abstracted from the blood those
principles which in normal quantity are necessary
to the integrity of organs and functions, and that
if the ordinary secretion of any gland is continu
ally increased, the humour secreted will be altered
in 'its elemental constituents, and consequently
become less adapted to those offices naturally
reserved to them. Every time, said Boerhave,
speaking of saliva, any oue makes a useless waste
of this secretion, he is deprived of a great inciter
of the appetite and a great aid to digestion. The
chyle, to the preparation of which this fluid does
not concur, is of bad quality, and the blood remains
more or less altered. To this authority many others
can be added, but let that ot Culien, Tissot and
Bernard suffice.”
The article proceeds to consider the injurious
effects upon other parts of the system, and particu
larly the apparatus of respiration.
Winter Sports i\ Boston.—The ico
upon Bullard’s pond, in the suburbs of
Boston, ha«, during the week, afforded
fine skating. The Traveler of Wednes
day, says;
“Last night, between oue and two hun
dred persons of all ages and both sexes
were on the ice engaged in skating.—
There was, we are told, some excellent
skating, especially by one or two young
ladies, who seemed to be thoroughly at
home upon the icy surface of the lake, ex
hibiting both as regards grace and swift
ness a marked contrast to the rather cum
brous efforts of their worthy sires. During
the evening the Marselles hymn was sung
by the assembled people, and with fine
effect.”

'anothiier defalcation.
The N. York papers contain an account
of the sudden disappearance of William
E. Thompson, Commercial Reporter for
the Courier if Enquirer, by, the steamer
Persia, which sailed for Europe on Wed
nesday last, and the discovery of fraud
ulent transactions upon several houses iu
New York.
Taking advantage of ihe friendly and
close relations subsisting between the Cou
rier If Enquirer and the principal financial
houses of this city, he obtained, it appears,
from several of them, on his own individu
al credit, the very day the steamer sailed,
some twenty thousand dollars iu cash, bills
and bonds, with which he decamped.
The parties from whom he obtained
these bonds, are understood to be Messrs.
Cammaun, Whitehouse, John H. Gourde,
Dykers, Alstyne & Co., Brown, Bros. &
Co. When engaging his passage hy the
steamer, instead of* putting his full name
down, he registered it simply Mr. Thomp
son, alleging that it was uncertain which
of his sons would go.
Mr. Thompson has been known to the
mercantile community for more than a
quarter of a century, and has uninterrupt
edly enjoyed its complete confidence. He
had au interesting family, had an income
sufficient to maintain it in comfort, had no
axtravagant tastes or habits, never in
dulged to the least extent in speculation,
was not involved in any pecuniary embar
rassment, and Avas almost the last man Avho
would have been suspected of betraying
his trusts and yielding to the temptation
that has ruined him.
By this mis-step, Mr. Thompson has
destroyed the good reputation he has
borne in this country for years—a situa
tion securing him a competency for life.
He leaves behind him a wife, children and
grandchildren. One of his daughters is
married to Mr. Jones, the proprietor of
Jones’ Hotel, Philadelphia.—Atlanta In

The Western tic Atlantic Railroad.
The people of Georgia, as well as the
traveling public generally, will be gratified
to learn, that under the present very effi
cient management of the State Road there
has thus far been not a single accident to
record. On the contrary, the regularity
and safety of the running has at no pre-
a ious period of its history been equalled.—
Probably nothing has done more to main
tain the present satisfactory condition than
the course pursued by the General Super
intendent iu regard to the use of liquor as
a beverage by the employees of the Road.
A bonus lias been awarded to each man
Avho has agreed to abstain from spirituous
liquors as a beverage, varying according to
their post. Engine men receive thirty-seA'-
en dollars aud fifty cents-conductors twen
ty-five dollars, and train-hands, firemen,
and wood-passers fifteen dollars per quar
ter. Of the employees of Road, seventy-
one have agreed to the regulation. The
result has been, that a remarkable improve
ment has taken place, not ouly in the
habits and couduct of the men, but a
Avonderful difference has been made in the
actual saA’ing of money to the Road.
Heretofore on this, as all other roads, acci
dents of a serious character have happen
ed from the negligence of enginemen, con
ductors and train hands, arising not unfre-
quently from the too free use of intoxicat
ing liquors. These accidents are attended
usually Avith the destruction of cars and
great injury to engines, to the heavy
pecuiary loss of the Road. During the
lastqnarter, not only have no accidents
occurred, but the trains haA'e been run
Avith the most extraordinary regularity.
This ought to be the case at all times
aud any regulation promotive of an object
so greatly to be desired by the public
should be strictly enforced. Some ma
lignant partisans who can find nothing else
for which to attack the Road, have sneer
ed at the idea of offering a premium for
the encouragement of morality. The ad
ditional ecurity to life and protection to
property, will, howeA'er, he regarded by all
honest men, as far more important than
the impertinent sneers of and anomyous
enemy.—At Intllgencer.
Cold Region Extending.—It is well
known as a matter of history, that when
Greenland was discovered, it possessed a
much Avarmer climate than it does at pres
ent. The ice packs haA-e been extending
south from the polar regions Tor some cen
turies, and the northeasts of our continent
are now much colder than they were three
centuries ago. The cause of'this is not
well understood, the fact is only known.
It is believed by some persons that there
is a great eddy in some part of the polar
ocean, which sometimes changes its direc
tion, and by drifting large icebergs from
one place to another changes the climate of
those places when they are drifted, by the
presence of such masses of ice diffusing
their low temperature to great distances.
In the month of July last, the white sea
was blocked up with huge mountains of
ice, and the commerce of Archangel stop
ped—something which neA'er happened be
fore. In the Faroe Islands snow fell in
the A’alleys in the middle of July, the like
of which also neA'er happened before. If
this drift of ice continues regularly for a
few seasons, the coasts of the White Sea
Avill become as inhospitable as those of
Greenland now arc.
i
A False Alarm.—There was a report,
extensively circulated, in this city, on
Tuesday, that the Marine Bank, located at
Savannah, had failed. There seems to be
ntffoundation whatever for this rumor.—
The other Banks of this city yesterday
freely received its notes and discredited
the story of its embarrassment, In this
time of Bank suspensons a very light and
vague rumor may create a panic, no doubt
the report in question obtained currency
the more readily because of the general
su-pic;oa enteit lined. The Marine Bank
is represented to be A ery strong iu its re
sources— Columbus Enquirer.
Minnesota Ready to Enter the Union—
Minnesota is about to take the initiatory
steps for admission into the Union as a
State, through its delegate, Mr. Rice. It
is estimated that a census to determine the
nurnbre of representives which she would
he entitled, if taken now, would show a
population of nearly or quite two hundred
thousand, and that by the time it shall be
taken it will amount to a number sufficient
togiA'c this flourishing Territory aright to
at least three representath’es. In 1860 it
is estimated that her population will have
become half a millinn, and that, eA’en with
the highest probable ratio of represutation,
she will be entitled to four representatives.
Pay of U. S- Army Officers:—The
committee on Military Affairs in the
House of Representative haA-e reported a
bill which, it is stated, increases the pay
of all commissioned officers, at the rate of
$20 per month, with the addition of 10
cents in the commutation of rations. The
equity of this measure, it is further stat
ed, consists in the proportional increase of
pay to the young officers, whose limited
iucome make them the objects of so many
hardships. The Lieutenant gets his 820
a month, equally with the Colonel or Gen
eral. An officer Avhose pay is $40, gets
$60 under the provisions of this bill—be
ing an increase of 50 per cent—while the
officer who now receives $200 receives
$220—and increase of 10 per. cent. The
10 cents additional ou the ration perserA-es
the equality of compensation under the
longevity ration principle.
