The Albany Statesman, of Saturday says: —
Among the numerous horde of“quack advertisers’
than infest our cities, is one well known in this
neighborhoood, wlm advertised in some of the
Southern papers that whoever bought of him a
certain ‘talisman, and put it into a bag which he was
to hang around his neck in such a manner, that
the hag should always be kept near his heart,
would, so long as he kept possession of the “talis
man,” be fortunate in whatever undertaking he
might embark. This ‘talisman’’ was the dried
eyes of Egyptian roosters, obtained from some
sarcophaguses which had been exhumed on the
banks of the Nile. This bait took. A letter was
received, a day or two ago from a lawyer in 8outh
Carolina, enclosing a $51) bill—the sum charged
for the “talisinau, A pair of roosters, bought

TRIP LIGHTLY.
Trip lightly over trouble.
Trip lightly over wrung.
We only make grief double
By dwelling on it long.
Why clasp woe’s hand so tightly?
Why sigh o’er blossoms dead?
Why cling to forms unsightly?
Why not to joy instead?
Trip lightly ovei sorrow*,
Though this day may bo dark:
The sun may shine to-morrow.
And gladly sing the lark;
Fair hope has not departed.
Though roses may have fled,
Then never bo down hearted,
But look for joy instead.
Trip lightly over sadness,
Stand not to rail at doom,
We’ve pearls to string of gladness,
On this side of the tomb;
While stars are nightly shining,
And Heaven is overhead,
Encourage not repining.
But look for joy instead.
Y ery beautiful is the k following ‘Remembrance'
from tne pen of Praed:
There are tones that will haunt us, tlio’ lonely
Our paths be o’er mountain or sea,
There are looks thav will part from us only
When memory ceases to be.
There are hopes which our burdens can lighten,
Tho’ toilsome and steep be the way.
And dreams that like moonlight can brighten,
With a light that is clearer than day
A weather prophet, writing to an agricultural
paper, says:—-When you wish to know what tho
weather is to be go out and select the smallest
cloud yon see: keep your eye upon it, and if it
decreases and disappears, it shows a state of the
air which will be sure to followed by fine weather;
but, if it increases in size, take your great coat
with you, if you are going from home, ter falling
weather w ill not be far off. The reason is this;
w hen the air is becoming charged with electricity,
you will see every cloud attnctingall lesser ones to
wards it, until it gathers into a shower; and on tbe
contrary, when the fluid is passing otT or diffusing
itself, then a large cloud will be seen breaking to
pieces and dissolving.

For far more joy “Marcellus” married feels.

Some years ago two twin brothers residing in
the city of Boston. Mass., met w iili an accident on
tho same day. One broke a fine cambric needle
in the palm of his hand, the point was so very
minute that it could not be discovered, but the
hand became extremely painful: mortification
supervened and in a few days the gentleman died
in the greatest agony from lockjaw The same
hour, the other brother in attempting to cross
Dock Square, was run into by a sulky, the right
shaft of which ran completely through his body,
inflicting a severe and apparently a very danger

Be it enacted by the Senate and'House of Represen
tative* if the l otted Stales oj Atoerua in Congest
assembled. That upon payment of the said sum of
forty-three thousand four hundred dollars by the
said A. J. I sacks to tbe 8ecretary of the Interior,
for the use and benefit of said Christian Indians,
within ninety days from the passage of this act,
it shall then he tho duty of tho President of the
Uunited States to confirm said sab*.
Section 2. And be it further enacted, That the
Secretary of the interior he, and he hereby is,
authorized and required to receive the proceeds of
the sale ol the said four sections of laud aud ap
ply the same as follows: that is to say, so much
'hereof as may bo necessary tc the purchase of a
suitable tract of land for a pcmiau» iit home for
the Christian Indians, the erection of the neces-
sary buildings foi their accommodation, and the
purchase of stock agricultural implements, and
whatever else may be necessary to establish them
thereon: the balance of thesaid fund tone invest
ed by the Secretary of the Interior iu safe and
profitable stocks, the interest whereof shall le
applied to the support of a school among the said
Christian Indians.
Section 3. And bt it further enacted. That when
ever the Christian Indians desire it, the tract pur
chased under the provisions of the preceding sec
tion shall be divided among them, under the di
rection ot the /’resident of the United States, to
be held iu severalty and with all the rights inci-
lunteers authorized by the act of Cong
approved on tin- 7tii April last, for the purpose ol j
pn-Uiug disturbances in the Territory ot Utah,!
for tin* protection of supply and emigrant trains, ] .
md the suppression of Indian hostilities on the j*
froutier.”
I am the more gratified af this satisfactory intel
lig- uce from Utah, because it will afford
lief to the tre asury at a time demanding from us
strictest economy, and when the question which
now arises upon every appropriation is, whether
it be of a character so important and
brook no delay, and to justify and require a loan,
and most probably a tax upon the people to raise
uiinistratiou to tor. !><*u\rr.

Wilton, X. 11., Sept. 10, 1857.
Having Imd an oppoitunity to test the value of Prof.
J. Wood’* Hair Restorative, I am prepared to say,
that it fully makes good its recommendations, by re
storing to more* than it original lustre, hair that
has become gray, or faded from ago or disease,
will give the* hair a soft end pliable texture,
: what is of still greater importance than that, it is
ored to health; it imparts to the whole system its
ovatiug, healing properties, and has u tendency to
:ore* health and prolong life, and give to the aged the
appearance of y«>uth. Its uueuulled properties ought
to recommend it to every family. Try it, vt who labor
under any disease of the head, and you will never have
to regret its application.
C u rios—Beware of worthless imitations as several
are already in the market, called by different names —
Fse none unless the words (Professor Wood’s Hair
R-storative, Depot St. Louis, Mo., and New York,) are

Medicine Dealers. Also by all Fancy amlToilet goods

Death—We regret to learn, (says the Atlanta
American,) that Gen. Wm. B. Wofford, late
Treasurer ofthe State Road, died at his residence
in Habersham county, on the 10th instant, of
Chronic Diarrh«*a. Gen. Wofford was well
known to the people of Georgia, and was by them
esteemed an honest man.

above all things, desires that there should be a
fair expression of the popular will in this impor
tant question; and that any person who may at
tempt to commit the frauds puui.-liable under, tho

the law . It is hoped that the people of Kansas,
relieved from all outside influences may be left to
decide tlu-question for themselves whether they
will immediately come into the Union under the
provisions of this act, or w ill remain in a territo
rial condition until their population is equal to the
number required for a Representative to Con-
gross.
Enclosed herewith you w ill receive four copies
of the act referred to, one of which you will send
to each of the commissioners named in the act in
Older that they may he properly informed of their

At the same time, you will provide for an early
meeting ofthe commissioners, so that the election
re quired hy the act may take place without un
necessary delay, and that all suitable arrange
ments may be made for this purpose. The Pres
ident earnestly hopes that these arrangements may
be successful in securing a free and fair election,
aud that at the present important crisis the peace
of the Territory may not be interrupted.

We are* no advocate of lotteries, and hope to see
the day w hen no such things exist in our country.
At the same time ice must say, in justice to Messrs.

an intentional fraud upon the public. We have no
feeling in the matter, how ever, am J merely add this

Holloiray's Ointment and Pills.— Those w ho have
been taught to believe that there is i t. remedy for can-
but the knife, are invited to read the’ following
statement. Reuben Withers, late of Brooklyn, aud
now residing at Marysville, Ualiforma, was f«»r several
month* treated stevioi in arti m, by two physicians, for
what they pronounced to be a concensus tumor on the
left breast. Finally tln*vreeoinmen*led • xcission. but
the putieut having neurd much of Holloway’s Ointment
in such cukcs, resolved to try its efforts Ik-fore submit

the directions, for two months, nt the end of which
linn- the lump had entirely disappeared, and up to the
date of his leaving for Sun Francisco, in August la^t,
an interval of fourteen weeks, no symptoms of its rea
ppearance could he discovered. The Pills are equally

“Reduced by Dyspepsia to a mere

Cured by “B<erhave s Holland Bitters.”
Mr. A. Matchett, a trader probably as well known ns
any man iu Western Pennsylvania, states as follows:
“I met with a fanner in Armstrong couuty who was
reduced by Dyspepsia to a mere skeleton. I persua
ded him to' buy a bottle of Bmrhave’s Holland Bitters
ing it would cure him. Meeting him somu
mouths after, wlmt was my astouishment at finding
him a hale, hearty man; he told me In* now weighed 200
pounds, and tliat this wonderful change hud been pro
duced by Brnrhave’s Holland Bitters, to which he at

The statistical tables ot mortality allows a reduction
in this country of the proportion of deaths from pul
monary diseases. Duet. Ayer attributes this result to
the efiect of his Fheiry Pectoral, lie also asserts that
the cure s fsom his Cathartic Pills giv** reason to believe
thev w ill, as they come into more general use, material
ly reduce the mortality from those particular diseases
ffir which they are designed. From what we know of
his preparations, we think he has grounds tor his claims,
and if he has, it is au attainment of which an Emperor
might be proml. Rare .y is it permitted any que man
to know that his skill is bestow ing health and file to the
masses of his fellow

A Share—A good business is done by theboyi
about town, now a days, in catching vagrant dogs
and h«rding them over to tbo Pouiidniaster.
Mayor Tu mann advertises to pay fifty cents a
head ter all unmuzzled dogs. But bis proclama
tion add-*: “No dogs received from boys.” Conse
quently, wlit-n a boy catches a dog, he has to grt
a man to present his dog at the pound and receive
the fifty cents. We hear that a class “middle
men” has “grown up in the trade” in conse
quence. The fifty cents premium is divided, half
to tho boy who caught the dog, and half to the
man who handed him in So that the boys !o»o
half tho reward. Dead shave!
