John son,of Lynn, Mass, was severely afflicted for ten years with Tic Doloreux, violent pain in her head, and vomiting, with a burning heal in the stomach, and unable to leave her room. She could find no relief from the advice of several physicians, nor from medicine of any kind, until after she had commenced using Dr. Evan’s medi cine, of 100 Chatham street, and from that time she began to amend, and feels satisfied if she continue the medicine a few days longer, will he perfectly cured. Reference can be had as to the truth of the above, by calling at Mrs. Johnson’s daughter’s Store, 389 Grand Street, N. Y. (£7- PARALYTIC RHEUMATISM. A perfect cure affected by the treatment of Dr. VV. EVANS.—Mr. John Gibson, of North Fourth st.

For tlife benefit of afflicted in a similar man ner, Mr. Gibson conceives it meet to say that the pains have entirely ceased, and that his j< ;nts have completely recovered •heir natural tone, and he feels able to re sume bis o dinary business.

Evans, pro prietor ot’ the celebrated Camomile Pills : Dear Sir—Had the immortal Cowper known the medical qualites of the Camo mile Plant, he as well as thousands since (besides myself), would have experienced ■its etTenfrsr fin the_pg- tern. —The'public utility of Cowper was blighted in the bud, through the natural effect of His nervous debility upon the men tal powers, which made it necessary for him to seek relief beneath the ruralshade, but the calm retreat gave his physical na ture no repose. If someone then had known the secret of concentrating the medical virtues of Camomile, the discov erer wotffci have been immortalized with poetic zeal as the benefactor of suffering man. The above lines were prompted from the effect I have experienced from Dr. Wm. Evans’ Camomile Pills. Yours, with esteem, Sheldon P. Gilbert. Durham, Greene Cos., N. Y. An Extraordinary and Remarka ble Cure.i —Mrs. Mary Dillon, Williams burg, cofaer of Fourth and North streets, completely restored to health by the treatment'of Dr. W. Evans, 100 Chat ham street. The symptoms of this distressing case were as It ; lows :—Total loss of appetite, palpitation, of the heart, twitching of the tendons, v ith a general spasmodic affec tion of the muscles, difficulty of breathing, giddiness, languor, lassitude,great depres sion of spirits, with a fear of some impend ing evil, a sensation of fluttering at the pit of tlx- stomach, irregular transient pains in different parts, great emacia tion, with other symptoms of extreme de bilit’ . The above case was pronounced hope less by three of the most eminent physi cians, and the dissolution of the patient daily by her friends,which may be authenticated by the physicians who were in attendance. She lias given her cheer ful permission to publish the above facts, and will also gladly give any information respecting the benefit she has received, to any inquiring mind. MARY DILLON. CfcS” A severe case of Piles cured at 100 Chatham street. —Mr. Daniel Spin ning of Shrewsbury, Eden Town, New Jersey, was severely afflicted with Piles for more .than 20 years. Had had re course to medicines of almost every de scription, also the advice es several emi nent physicians, but never found the slightest relief from any source whatsoev er, until he called on Dr. Evans, of 100 Chatham sjreet, N.

From the Carolina Planter. j Mr. Editor :—When i employ an 0- I verseer, I read to him the rules of my plan- \ j tution, and give him to understand at once I thatihe is to he governed bv them. It is i •* . l -j part of my contract. ‘I T.omAv hicli relate I more particularly to the Overseer’s duty, IJ send you for publication. I cannot help j thinking that if such rules were generally j adopted and enforced, this useful and ne | cessary class of men w'ould be improved, j Franklin. RULES OF THE PLANTATION. Ist. A good crop means one that is good, taking into consideration every thing —negroes, land, mules, stock, fences, ditches, farming utensils, all of which must i be kept up and improved in value—the ef fort therefore must not be merely to make a given number of hales of Cotton, but ns much as can be made without interrupting the steady increase in value of the rest of the property. 2d. The overseer will never be expec ted to work in the field, but he must always be with the hands when not other wise engaged in the einployer’s business —and will be required to attend on occa sionally to any pecuniary transaction con nected with his plantation. 3d. The Overseer must never he ab sent a single night or an entire day with out permission previously obtained.— Whenever absent at church or elsewhere, he must be on the plantation by sun down without fail. 4th. He must attend every night and morning the stalls, and see that the mules CD;; I.:V. L-'Ai) -’ • ’ AV*rWt* .r ‘- locked. He must keep the stable key at night, and all ;he keys in a safe place and never allow any one to unlock a crib but himself. He must also endeavor to be with the plough hands at noon. sth. The Overseer must visit every negro house at day light in the morning and see that all are out. Once a week or more lie must visit them after horn blow at night, to see that all arc in. Once a week he must visit every negro quarter after night. The horn will ho blown in winter at 8, in summer at 9 o’clock, after which no ne gro must be seen out of his house. 6th. The Overseer will beexpected not to degrade himself by charging any negro with carrying news to the employer.— There must be news to curry. ‘The em ployer will not encourage tale hearing, but question every negro indiscriminately whenever he thinks proper about all mat ters connected with the plantation, and re quire him to tell the truth. When he learns any filing derogatory to the Overseer he will immediately communicate it la him. 7 th. The Overseer must ride but one horse unless lie obtains permission to do otherwise. And as the employer’s ness will require his whole attention he is expected to see but little company. Bth. He will beexpected to obey strict ly all instructions of the employer. Ilis opinion is requested on all questions rela tive toplantation matters us they arise,and will he treated with respect, but when not he must cheerfully and faithfully carry in to effect the views of the employer, and with a sincere desiro to produce a successful re sult. Ho must carry on all experiments with fidelity, and note the results careful ly, and he must, when instructed by the employer, give a fair trial to all new meth ods of culture and new implements of ag riculture. ‘Jth. The w holeslock will be under the immediate charge ofthe Overseer, and he will attend to them personally, with the as sistance of any negro he may choose from time to lime. He must see and feed every hog at least twice a week, and salt and count the cattle once a month. The O’ verseer must, withoui being asked, inform the employer of anything going on that may concern or interest him. 11th. The negroes must be made to o bev and to work, which may he done by an Overseer who attends regularly to his business, wish very little whipping ; much “'hipping indica'es a bad tempered or an inattentive manager, and will not be al lowed. The Overseer must never on any occasion, unless in self-defence, kick a ne- J gro or strike him with his hand, or a stick* jor the butt end of his whip. No unusual I punishment must be resorted to without I the employer’s consent. 12th. The sick must be treated with | great tenderness, and visited at least three j times a day, and at night if necessary'. I The greatest attention must be paid to all the children, and they must be kept ; clean, dry and warm by 4 the nurses.— | Suckling and pregnant women must be in | tlulgsd as muchcircumstaoces will al | low, and never worked as mudh as others- Sucklers must be allowed time to suckle children, and kept working as near the house as possible. No lifting, spinning or ploughing must be required of pregnant women. 13th. The use of spirits is absolutely forbidden on this plantation, unless when prescribed by a physician—not even a Christmas dram is allowed the negroes. Should the Overseer get drunk he must ex pect to be instantly discharged. 14th. The Overseer is particularly en joined to keep the negroes as much as pos sible out of tire rain and from all kinds of exposure, and to see that they make good fires in cold weather and after rains. 15th. The overseer must not punish the driver, except on some extraordinary emer gency that will not allow of delay, until the employer is consulted. Os this rule, the driver is, however, to be kept in entire ignorance -10:h. It is distinctly understood in the agreement with every Overseer, that when ever dissatisfied he can quit the employer’s service, on giving one month’s notice in writing—and that the employer may dis charge him at any time, by paying him for his services up to that period, at the same rate as he agreed to pay for the year. Destroying insects by Camomile. —ln the Iriijji Gardeners’ Maeazine, it issUJed^ j not only that decoctions of the leaves of the common Camomile will destroy insects, but that nothing contributes so much to the health of a garden as a number of Camo mile plants dispersed through it. j No green house or hot house should fever be without camomile in a green or dried state ; either file stalks or the flowers will answer. It is a singular fact, that if a plant is drooping and apparently dying, in nine cases out of ten it will recover if you place a plant of camomile near it. Croup. —Cut onions into thin slices: be tween and over them put brown sugar— when ihe sugar is dissolved, a teaspoon of the syrup will produce almost instantaneous relief. This simple and effctual remedy for this distressing malady should he known to all having the care of small children. Star. niWCELL A A E O I S. Matrimony is a medicine verv proper for young men to take. It decides their fate —either kills or cures. An ignorant preacher being one day a bout starting upon a journey, orders his ne gro servant to bring his horse to the door, and sent him up stairs for some corn to feed him. The negro being rather care less scattered the corn along down stairs and out doors, where an old sow was feed ing, who getting on the tracker the corn by degrees followed the traif up stairs. After a while the preacher sent the negro up stairs for his saddle. By this time the old sow had found her way under the bed. The negro hearing the swinish grunt and not knowing the cause ofit, ran down in a terrible fright, crying out mas sa ! massa !de deh’l up stairs, tnassa. The master in an angry tone sent him up a gain. The negro hearing the grunt of the sow repeated, ran down more scared than ever, saving massa, de debil be up stairs sartin, for 1 hear him go eh, eh, tree or four times. The master being somewhat superstitious, concluded to venture up him self, but gave cuff orders to pray for him while he was gone. No sooner had the knight of the black coat reached the head of the sairs, than the sow rushed from her covert, ran between his legs and carried him down backwards; all the prayer that the negro could make was Amen ; which he pronounced very devotedly. The preach er, no less terrified than his servant, cried, the devil has got me cuff, why don’t you pray ? Amen, said the negro. I\ o. 3*2.
